LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The purpose of this Offer Document is to provide you with, among other things, (i) detailed information relating to the Offer and the Whitewash Waivers; (ii) a letter from the Independent Board Committee containing its recommendation and advice to the Independent Shareholders as to whether the Offer and the Whitewash Waivers are fair and reasonable and as to acceptance and voting; (iii) a letter of advice from Gram Capital containing its advice to the Independent Board Committee as to whether the Offer and the Whitewash Waivers are fair and reasonable and as to acceptance and voting; and (iv) a notice of General Meeting to consider and approve, if thought fit, the Offer and the Whitewash Waivers.

THE OFFER

The Shares to be bought-back by the Company will not exceed the Maximum Number of Shares and there is no minimum number of Shares proposed to be bought-back under the Offer. Upon acceptance of the Offer and upon the basis of the "Principal Terms of the Offer" set out in the letter from Octal Capital, the Company will pay the Accepting Shareholders HK$2.00 per Share in cash.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there are 5,301,837,842 Shares in issue and there are no outstanding options, warrants, derivatives or convertibles which may confer any rights to the holder(s) thereof to subscribe for, convert or exchange into Shares.

None of the Conditions above can be waived.

The Offer will not be conditional on any minimum number of acceptances.

- 8 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Offer is subject to all of the Conditions being fulfilled in full. If the Whitewash Waivers are not granted by the Executive, or if the resolution to approve the Offer is not passed by the Independent Shareholders or if the resolution to approve the Whitewash Waivers is not passed by the Independent Shareholders, the Offer will not proceed and will immediately lapse.

THE OFFER PRICE

The Offer Price of HK$2.00 per Share values the entire issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date at approximately HK$10,604 million.

The Offer Price of HK$2.00 per Share represents:

  1. a premium of approximately 9.3% over the closing price of the Shares of HK$1.83 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;
  2. a premium of approximately 21.5% over the average price of HK$1.65 per Share, being the average closing price of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the five consecutive trading days immediately prior to and including the Last Trading Day;
  3. a premium of approximately 22.9% over the average price of HK$1.63 per Share, being the average closing price of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the ten consecutive trading days immediately prior to and including the Last Trading Day;
  4. a premium of approximately 26.2% over the average price of HK$1.59 per Share, being the average closing price of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the thirty consecutive trading days immediately prior to and including the Last Trading Day;
  5. a premium of approximately 17.6% over the closing price of the Shares of HK$1.70 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date; and
  6. a discount of approximately 32.4% to the Group's net asset value attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$2.96 per Share pursuant to the latest audited consolidated accounts of the Company as at 31 December 2019.

The Offer Price was determined after taking into account, among other things, the historical prices of the Shares traded on the Stock Exchange, historical financial information of the Company, the prevailing market conditions and sentiments, and with reference to share buy-back transactions in Hong Kong in recent years.

IRREVOCABLE UNDERTAKINGS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, (i) the Funde Shareholder was beneficially interested in 1,590,100,000 Shares, representing approximately 29.99% of the total issued Shares; and (ii) the Shougang Shareholders were beneficially interested in 1,582,864,490 Shares, representing approximately 29.85% of the total issued Shares. The Funde Shareholder and the Shougang Shareholders are presumed to be acting in concert under presumption class (1) of the definition of "acting in concert" under the Codes.

- 9 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Funde Shareholder and the Shougang Shareholders have irrevocably undertaken to the Company that they will not accept the Offer for the Shares held by them respectively as at the Latest Practicable Date. Such irrevocable undertakings will be binding until the lapse, withdrawal or closing of the Offer.

WHITEWASH WAIVERS

Pursuant to Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code and Rule 6 of the Share Buy-backs Code, if as a result of a share buy-back, a shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the repurchasing company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. Consequently, depending on the level of acceptances received from the Accepting Shareholders pursuant to the Offer and taking into account the fact that each of the Funde Shareholder and the Shougang Shareholders has irrevocably undertaken to the Company that they will not accept the Offer for the Shares held by them respectively as at the Latest Practicable Date, the aggregate interests in the total issued Shares held by (i) the Funde Concert Group may increase from its current level of approximately 29.99% to a maximum of approximately 31.48% and (ii) the Shougang Concert Group may increase from its current level of approximately 29.85% to a maximum of approximately 31.33%, in each case upon completion of the Offer, thereby triggering an obligation by the Funde Shareholder and the Shougang Shareholders under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code to make a mandatory general offer for all of the Shares not beneficially owned by the Funde Concert Group and the Shougang Concert Group, respectively.

Accordingly, an application for the Whitewash Waiver has been made to the Executive by each of the Funde Shareholder and the Shougang Shareholders.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS AND FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE OFFER

The Board believes it is appropriate to utilise certain of the funds of the Company to buy-back the Shares and to thereby provide a mechanism for the Qualifying Shareholders to dispose of their Shares at a premium to the prevailing market prices should they wish to do so.

The price of the Shares has historically been traded at a significant discount to the Group's net asset value per Share. During the past twelve months and up to the Latest Practicable Date, the highest closing price per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange was HK$1.83 on 13 July 2020 and the lowest closing price per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange was HK$1.25 on 19 March 2020. The closing price of the Shares of HK$1.83 per Share on the Last Trading Day represents a discount of approximately 38.2% to the Group's net asset value attributable to owners of the Company of HK$2.96 per Share as at 31 December 2019.

In view of the above factors and having considered other methods of achieving its objectives with its professional advisers, the Board (other than the members of the Independent Board Committee who will express their opinion in this Offer Document) considers that the Offer is in the best interest of the Shareholders as it will: (a) provide an opportunity for the Qualifying Shareholders either to sell their Shares at a premium to the prevailing market prices of the Shares and receive cash or to increase their proportionate interests in the Company by retaining their holdings of the Shares and participating in the future prospects of the Company; and (b) have the effect of increasing the consolidated net asset value per Share and earnings per Share, thus benefiting all Shareholders.

In determining the Maximum Number of Shares to be bought-back by the Company shall it be accepted in full under the Offer, the Board has taken into account the internal financial resources of the Group available to satisfy the Offer and the public float requirement under the Rule 8.08 of the Listing Rules after completion of the Offer.

The unaudited pro forma financial information of the Group upon completion of the Offer illustrating the financial impact of the Offer on (i) the net assets per Share, (ii) earnings per Share, (iii) liabilities and (iv) working capital (expressed as net current assets) of the Group is set out in Appendix III of this Offer Document.

Based on the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Group as set out in Appendix III of this Offer Document and assuming that the Offer had been completed on 31 December 2019 and the Maximum Number of Shares have been bought-back, as a result of the completion, (i) the net asset value attributable to owners of the Company per Share as at 31 December 2019 would increase by approximately 1.35% from approximately HK$2.96 per Share to approximately HK$3.00 per Share; (ii) the earnings per Share for the year ended 31 December 2019 would increase by approximately 4.93% from approximately HK21.51 cents to approximately HK22.57 cents; (iii) the consolidated total liabilities of the Group will remain unchanged at approximately HK$4,426,398,000; and (iv) the working capital (expressed as net current assets) of the Group will decrease by approximately 11.0% from approximately HK$4,579,200,000 to approximately HK$4,074,700,000 and the current ratio (computed from current assets divided by current liabilities) of the Group will decrease by approximately 6.90% from approximately 2.61 times to approximately 2.43 times.

- 14 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Based on the above and having considered the funding of the Offer, the Company considers that there is no material adverse effect on the Group's net assets per Share, earnings per Share (basic and diluted), liabilities and working capital as a result of the Offer.

INFORMATION ON THE GROUP

The Company is incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability and the issued Shares of which are listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange. The principal activity of the Company is investment holding. The principal activities of the Group's subsidiaries comprise coking coal mining, and production and sales of coking coal products.

FUTURE INTENTIONS OF THE GROUP

It is the intention of both the Funde Shareholder and the Shougang Shareholders that the businesses and management of the Group will continue and remain unchanged and the Company's listing on the Stock Exchange will be maintained upon completion of the Offer. It is also the intention of both the Funde Shareholder and the Shougang Shareholders that no major changes will be introduced to the businesses of the Group and the employment of the employees of the Group will be continued and the material fixed assets of the Group will not be redeployed as a result of the Offer.

It is the intention of the Company (i) not to rely upon sections 705, 711 to 716 and 718 to 721 of the Companies Ordinance or any comparable provision of applicable company law in Hong Kong; and (ii) to continue to meet the public float requirements of Rule 8.08 of the Listing Rules.

DIVIDEND

For the final dividend for the year ended 31 December 2019 proposed by the Board as announced by the Company on 26 March 2020 and subsequently approved by the Shareholders on 21 May 2020 (the "2019 Final Dividend"), a Shareholder whose name appeared on the Register of Members on 8 June 2020 was entitled to such dividend and such has been paid on 23 July 2020 irrespective of whether Shareholder accepts the Offer or not. As for any possible interim dividend for the six months ended 30 June 2020 as may be declared by the end of August 2020 (the "Possible 2020 Interim Dividend"), the Accepting Shareholders will not be entitled to such interim dividend in respect of the Shares bought-back. Therefore, both the 2019 Final Dividend and the Possible 2020 Interim Dividend will not be deducted from the Offer Price.

Accordingly, the resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting as set out in notice of the General Meeting shall be voted by poll.

At the approval by the Independent Board Committee, Gram Capital has been appointed to advise the Independent Board Committee as to whether the Offer and the Whitewash Waivers are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned, whether the Offer and the Whitewash Waivers are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, and as to acceptance and voting for or against the Offer and the Whitewash Waivers.

GENERAL

The Funde Concert Group, the Shougang Concert Group and those who are involved in, or interested in the Offer and the Whitewash Waivers and those Shareholders who have a material interest in the Offer and the Whitewash Waivers different from other Shareholders, including but not limited to those Directors who have a personal interest in the Shares (namely, Mr. Ding Rucai, Mr. Chen Zhaoqiang, Mr. Kee Wah Sze and Mr. Choi Wai Yin) will be required to abstain from voting on the resolutions in respect of the Offer and the Whitewash Waivers to be proposed at the General Meeting.

If valid acceptances received exceed the Maximum Number of Shares, the total number of Shares to be bought-back by the Company from each Accepting Shareholder will be determined in accordance with the following formula save that the Company may in its absolute discretion round such figure up or down with the intention of avoiding (as far as practicable) Shares being held by Accepting Shareholders in odd lots or fractional entitlements:

A

X C

B

A = 250,000,000 Shares, being the Maximum Number of Shares

B = Total number of Shares tendered by all Accepting Shareholders under the Offer

C = Total number of Shares tendered by the relevant individual Accepting Shareholder under the Offer

As a result, it is possible that not all of such Shares tendered by an Accepting Shareholder will ultimately be bought-back. The total number of Shares which will be bought-back by the Company will not exceed the Maximum Number of Shares. The decision of the Company as to any scaling down of acceptances in accordance with the above formula and as to the treatment of fractions will be conclusive and binding on all Shareholders.

IRREVOCABLE UNDERTAKINGS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, (i) the Funde Shareholder was beneficially interested in 1,590,100,000 Shares, representing approximately 29.99% of the total issued Shares; and (ii) the Shougang Shareholders were beneficially interested in 1,582,864,490 Shares, representing approximately 29.85% of the total issued Shares. The Funde Shareholder and the Shougang Shareholders are presumed to be acting in concert under presumption class (1) of the definition of "acting in concert" under the Codes.

The Funde Shareholder and the Shougang Shareholders have irrevocably undertaken to the Company that they will not accept the Offer for the Shares held by them respectively as at the Latest Practicable Date. Such irrevocable undertakings will be binding until the lapse, withdrawal or closing of the Offer.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Ding Rucai, Mr. Chen Zhaoqiang, Mr. Kee Wah Sze and Mr. Choi Wai Yin, are the Directors who have personal interest in the Shares. After reasonable inquiry being made by the Company, Mr. Chen Zhaoqiang indicated that he will accept the Offer in respect of the 2,680,000 Shares, representing the entire holding of Shares by Mr. Chen Zhaoqiang and approximately 0.051% of the total issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date to realize his investment in the Shares, while Mr. Ding Rucai, Mr. Kee Wah Sze and Mr. Choi Wai Yin indicated that each of them will not accept the Offer in respect of all of the Shares held by each of them respectively as at the Latest

LETTER FROM OCTAL CAPITAL

Practicable Date in order to increase their proportionate interests in the Company by retaining their holdings of the Shares and participating in the future prospects of the Company with enhanced net asset value per Share attributable to each Share held by each of them after the Offer.

WHITEWASH WAIVERS

Pursuant to Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code and Rule 6 of the Share Buy-backs Code, if as a result of a share buy-back, a shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the repurchasing company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. Consequently, depending on the level of acceptances received from the Accepting Shareholders pursuant to the Offer and taking into account the fact that each of the Funde Shareholder and the Shougang Shareholders has irrevocably undertaken to the Company that they will not accept the Offer for the Shares held by them respectively as at the Latest Practicable Date, the aggregate interests in the total issued Shares held by (i) the Funde Concert Group may increase from its current level of approximately 29.99% to a maximum of approximately 31.48% and (ii) the Shougang Concert Group may increase from its current level of approximately 29.85% to a maximum of approximately 31.33%, in each case upon completion of the Offer, thereby triggering an obligation by the Funde Shareholder and the Shougang Shareholders under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code to make a mandatory general offer for all of the Shares not beneficially owned by the Funde Concert Group and the Shougang Concert Group, respectively.

Accordingly, an application for the Whitewash Waiver has been made to the Executive by each of the Funde Shareholder and the Shougang Shareholders. The Executive has indicated that subject to, among others, approval by the Independent Shareholders at the General Meeting by way of poll, the Executive will grant the Whitewash Waivers to waive any obligations of each of the Funde Shareholder and the Shougang Shareholders to make a mandatory general offer which might result from completion of the Offer.

The Offer is open for acceptance from the date of this Offer Document, but payment of the Offer will only be made after the close of the Offer. The consideration under the Offer will not be despatched until after the Acceptance Form is completed in all respects and the Title Documents have been received by the Company.

The making of the Offer to the Overseas Shareholders may be subject to the laws of the relevant jurisdictions. The laws of the relevant jurisdictions may prohibit the making of the Offer to the Overseas Shareholders or require compliance with certain filing, registration or other requirements in respect of the Offer.

The availability of the Offer to any Overseas Shareholders may be affected by the applicable laws, regulations and rules of their relevant jurisdictions of residence. The Overseas Shareholders should observe any applicable legal and regulatory requirements and, where necessary, consult their own professional advisers in the relevant jurisdictions. It is the responsibility of each Overseas Shareholder who wishes to accept the Offer to satisfy himself/herself/itself as to the full observance of the laws, regulations and rules of the relevant jurisdictions in connection with the acceptance of the Offer (including the obtaining of any governmental or other consent which may be required or the compliance with other necessary formalities and the payment of any transfer or other taxes due by such Overseas Shareholders in respect of such jurisdictions).

According to the Register of Members as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had Overseas Shareholders with registered addresses located in the PRC and Singapore.

LETTER FROM OCTAL CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has obtained advice from law firms qualified to advise on the PRC law and Singapore law, and it has been advised that under the applicable legislations and regulations of these jurisdictions, there is no regulatory restriction or requirement of any regulatory body or stock exchange with respect to extending the Offer to these Overseas Shareholders in the relevant jurisdictions. Accordingly, the Offer will be extended to the Overseas Shareholders with registered addresses in the PRC and Singapore.

This Offer Document is sent to the Overseas Shareholders with registered addresses located in the PRC and Singapore.

Any acceptance of the Offer by any Overseas Shareholder shall be deemed to constitute a representation and warranty from such Overseas Shareholder to the Company that all applicable local laws and requirements have been observed and complied with.

ODD LOTS ARRANGEMENTS

Currently, the Shares are traded in board lots of 2,000 Shares each. Such board lot size will not change as a result of the Offer.

In view of the procedures for scaling down in respect of the Shares tendered under the Offer as described under the section headed "Other Terms of the Offer" above, an Accepting Shareholder may, as a result of the Offer, hold odd lots of the Shares.

For this purpose, Sanfull Securities Limited, whose address is at Suite 2001-6, 20/F, Cosco Tower, 183 Queen's Road Central, Hong Kong (contact person: Mr. Billy Chan; telephone number: 2853 2211) has been appointed by the Company as the designated broker to match sales and purchases of odd lot holdings of Shares in the market for a period of six weeks from the completion of the Offer to enable odd lot Shareholders to dispose of their odd lots or to top up their odd lots to whole board lots of 2,000 Shares. Odd lot Shareholders should note that the matching of odd lots is not guaranteed. Further details of the related arrangements will be announced after the Offer has become unconditional.

NOMINEE REGISTRATION OF SHARES

Shareholders whose Shares are held by a nominee company should note that the Board will regard the nominee company as a single Shareholder according to the Register of Members. To ensure equality of treatment of all Qualifying Shareholders, those registered holders of the Shares who hold the Shares as nominees for more than one beneficial owner should, as far as practicable, treat the holding of each beneficial owner separately. In order for the beneficial owners of the Shares whose investments are registered in nominee names (including those whose interests in the Shares are held through CCASS), to accept the Offer, it is essential that they provide instructions to their nominee agents of their intentions with regard to the Offer on or before the deadline set by their nominee agents. Shareholders with their Shares held by a nominee company may consider whether they would like to arrange registration of the relevant Shares in the name of the beneficial owner(s).

ON BEHALF OF

SHOUGANG FUSHAN RESOURCES GROUP LIMITED

TO BUY-BACK UP TO 250,000,000 SHARES FOR HK$2.00 PER SHARE

INVOLVING APPLICATIONS FOR WHITEWASH WAIVERS

INTRODUCTION

We refer to our appointment as the Independent Financial Adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee in respect of the Offer and the Whitewash Waivers, details of which are set out in the Offer Document dated 19 August 2020 issued by the Company to the Shareholders, of which this letter forms part. Terms used in this letter shall have the same meanings as defined in the Offer Document unless the context requires otherwise.

On 20 July 2020, the Board announced that a conditional cash offer will be made by Octal Capital on behalf of the Company in compliance with the Codes, subject to the fulfilment of the Conditions, to buy-back for cancellation up to the Maximum Number of Shares, being 250,000,000 Shares, representing approximately 4.72% of the total issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date. There is no minimum number of Shares proposed to be bought-back under the Offer. The Qualifying Shareholders may accept the Offer by submission of Acceptance Forms for the sale of their Shares to the Company at the Offer Price of HK$2.00 per Share.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 5,301,837,842 Shares in issue and there were no outstanding options, warrants, derivatives or convertibles which may confer any rights to the holder(s) thereof to subscribe for, convert or exchange into Shares. The maximum amount payable by the Company under the Offer is HK$500,000,000. The Offer will be satisfied by internal resources of the Group. Octal Capital has confirmed that sufficient financial resources are available to the Company to implement the Offer in full if the Maximum Number of Shares is bought-back.

- 30 -

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

The Funde Shareholder and the Shougang Shareholders have irrevocably undertaken to the Company that they will not accept the Offer for the Shares held by them respectively as at the Latest Practicable Date. Such irrevocable undertakings will be binding until the lapse, withdrawal or closing of the Offer.

Pursuant to Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code and Rule 6 of the Share Buy-backs Code, if as a result of a share buy-back, a shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the repurchasing company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. Consequently, depending on the level of acceptances received from the Accepting Shareholders pursuant to the Offer and taking into account the fact that each of the Funde Shareholder and the Shougang Shareholders has irrevocably undertaken to the Company that they will not accept the Offer for the Shares held by them respectively as at the Latest Practicable Date, the aggregate interests in the total issued Shares held by (i) the Funde Concert Group may increase from its current level of approximately 29.99% to a maximum of approximately 31.48% and (ii) the Shougang Concert Group may increase from its current level of approximately 29.85% to a maximum of approximately 31.33%, in each case upon completion of the Offer, thereby triggering an obligation by the Funde Shareholder and the Shougang Shareholders under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code to make a mandatory general offer for all of the Shares not beneficially owned by the Funde Concert Group and the Shougang Concert Group, respectively.

Accordingly, an application for the Whitewash Waiver has been made to the Executive by each of the Funde Shareholder and the Shougang Shareholders. The Executive has indicated that the Executive will grant the Whitewash Waivers, subject to, among others, approval by the Independent Shareholders at the General Meeting by way of poll, to waive any obligations of each of the Funde Shareholder and the Shougang Shareholders to make a mandatory general offer which might result from completion of the Offer.

The Independent Board Committee comprising Mr. Shi Yubao (being a non-executive Director), Mr. Kee Wah Sze, Mr. Choi Wai Yin, Mr. Japhet Sebastian Law and Mr. Chen Jianxiong (being independent non-executive Directors) has been formed to advise the Independent Shareholders on whether the Offer and the Whitewash Waivers are fair and reasonable and as to the acceptance and voting respectively. We, Gram Capital Limited, have been appointed as the Independent Financial Adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee in this respect, and our opinion herein is solely for the assistance of the Independent Board Committee in connection with its consideration of the Offer and the Whitewash Waivers pursuant to Rule 2.1 of the Takeovers Code. The appointment of Gram Capital as the Independent Financial Adviser has been approved by the Independent Board Committee.

INDEPENDENCE

There have not been any relationships or interests between Gram Capital and the Company/the Funde Shareholder/the Shougang Shareholders/any other parties during the past two years immediately preceding commencement of the Offer Period, that could reasonably affect Gram Capital's independence to act as the Independent Financial Adviser. We therefore consider ourselves suitable to give independent advice to the Independent Board Committee in respect of the Offer and the Whitewash Waivers pursuant to Rule 2.6 of the Takeovers Code.

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

We have assumed that all information and representations that have been provided by the Directors, for which they are solely and wholly responsible, are true and accurate at the time when they were made and continue to be so as at the Latest Practicable Date, and should there be any material changes to our opinion after the Latest Practicable Date, Shareholders would be notified as soon as possible.

Your attention is drawn to the responsibility statements as set out in the section headed "1. RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT" of Appendix IV to the Offer Document.

Our opinion is necessarily based on the financial, market, economic, industry-specific and other conditions as they existed on, and the information made available to us as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Lastly, where information in this letter has been extracted from published or otherwise publicly available sources, it is the responsibility of Gram Capital to ensure that such information has been correctly and fairly extracted, reproduced or presented from the relevant sources while we are not obligated to conduct any independent in-depth investigation into the accuracy and completeness of those information.

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In arriving at our opinion in respect of the Offer and the Whitewash Waivers, we have taken into consideration the following principal factors and reasons:

  1. Background and terms of the Offer

On 20 July 2020, the Board announced that a conditional cash offer will be made by Octal Capital on behalf of the Company in compliance with the Codes, subject to the fulfilment of the Conditions, to buy-back for cancellation up to the Maximum Number of Shares, being 250,000,000 Shares, representing approximately 4.72% of the total issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date. There is no minimum number of Shares proposed to be bought-back under the Offer. The Qualifying Shareholders may accept the Offer by submission of Acceptance Forms for the sale of their Shares to the Company at the Offer Price of HK$2.00 per Share.

The Shares to be bought-back by the Company will not exceed the Maximum Number of Shares. Upon acceptance of the Offer and upon the basis of the "Principal Terms of the Offer" set out in the letter from Octal Capital, the Company will pay the Accepting Shareholders HK$2.00 per Share in cash.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 5,301,837,842 Shares in issue and there were no outstanding options, warrants, derivatives or convertibles which may confer any rights to the holder(s) thereof to subscribe for, convert or exchange into Shares. The maximum amount payable by the Company under the Offer is HK$500,000,000. The Offer will be satisfied by internal resources of the Group. Octal Capital has confirmed that the Company has sufficient financial resources to implement the Offer in full if the Maximum Number of Shares is bought-back.

Further details of the Offer are set out in Appendix I to the Offer Document.

  1. Financial information on the Group

With reference to the "Letter from the Board" of the Offer Document, the Company is incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability and the Shares are listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange. The principal activities of the Group's subsidiaries comprise coking coal mining, and production and sales of coking coal products.

The Group recorded revenue of approximately HK$3,869 million for the year ended 31 December

2019 ("FY2019"), representing an increase of approximately 4.97% as compared with that for the year ended 31 December 2018 ("FY2018"). With reference to the 2019 Annual Report, the increase in the Group's revenue was mainly driven by the rise in overall sales volume of coal products, the positive impact of which had partially overridden by the decrease in average realised selling prices of clean coking coal and the drop in average RMB exchange rate for FY2019.

As advised by the Directors, the Group's coking coal products are raw coking coal and clean coking coal (which is processed from raw coking coal). The Group's long-term strategy is to concentrate on clean coking coal sales as the Group's principal customers are steel manufacturers in the PRC which demand clean coking coal. Thus, the Group would satisfy the clean coking coal orders in priority. The decrease in the Group's raw coking coal sales in FY2019 as compared to FY2018 was mainly due to increased orders of the Group's clean coking coal in FY2019.

As advised by the Directors, the decrease in average realised selling prices of clean coking coal in FY2019 as compared to FY2018 was mainly due to decrease in market selling price and decrease in the Group's sales proportion of No.1 clean coking coal which has higher selling price (the Group's sales volume of No.1 and No.2 clean coking coal accounted for approximately 37% and 63% respectively of its total clean coking coal sales volume for FY2019 (FY2018: approximately 46% and 54% for No. 1 and No. 2 clean coking coal respectively)).

- 34 -

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

The Group recorded a profit of approximately HK$1,176 million for FY2019, representing an increase of approximately 2.10% as compared to that for FY2018. With reference to the 2019 Annual Report and as confirmed by the Directors, such increase was mainly attributable to increase in the Group's gross profit and other net income and gains in FY2019 as compared to those for FY2018, which had overridden the negative impact resulting from one-offnon-cash write off of property, plant and equipment (mainly in relation to the carrying amount of underground mining structures of the upper coal seam of the Group's Jinjiazhuang Coal Mine).

With reference to the 2019 Annual Report, the Company is one of the most sizable integrated coking coal corporations in central-western of the PRC. The Group has three premium operating coking coal mines (namely, Xingwu Coal Mine, Jinjiazhuang Coal Mine and Zhaiyadi Coal Mine) in Liulin County, Shanxi Province, the PRC; and three coal preparation plants in Liulin County, Shanxi Province, the PRC. For FY2019, the Group produced approximately 4.41 million tonnes of raw coking coal and approximately 2.75 million tonnes of clean coking coal, representing year-on-year increase of approximately 8% and 30% respectively.

With reference to the 2019 Annual Report, the Group's coking coal products are mainly used for refining of coke which is the second largest raw materials for steel. The Group's principal customers are steel manufacturers in the PRC. The market prices of coking coal highly depend on the demand of the downstream steel industry and the supply of coking coal.

According to the statistics published by the National Bureau of Statistics of the PRC, (i) the output of crude steel in the PRC increased from approximately 803.83 million tons in 2015 to approximately

996.34 million tons in 2019, representing a compound annual growth rate ("CAGR") of approximately 5.51%; (ii) output of rolled steel in the PRC increased from approximately 1.03 billion tons in 2015 to approximately 1.20 billion tons in 2019, representing a CAGR of approximately 3.88%; and (iii) output of coke in the PRC increased from approximately 448.23 million tons in 2015 to approximately 471.26 million tons in 2019, representing a CAGR of approximately 1.26%.

With reference to the 2019 Annual Report, as the upstream industry of steel sector, coking coal sector is benefited from the continuing structural reform of the sector (including eliminating excess capacity and limitation of over-production in coal sector) directed by the State Council of the PRC (on 5 February 2016, the State Council of the PRC issued《國務院關於煤炭行業化解過剩產能實現脫困發展 的意見》(The State Council's opinion on resolving excess capacity, to achieve development and extricating difficulty in coal sector*) which set out its direction on coal sector's structural reform and resolving coal sector's excess capacity), but also the economic policies from the PRC government, including cutting interest rate, fees and tax deferral and continuing to implement similar measures; impose financial transfer payment (i.e. government's payment such as social welfare, financial aid, grant and subsidies for the purpose of redistributing income and wealth) in those areas affected by the epidemic; increase fiscal expenditure by expanding the scale of local government debt issuance, which stimulate the PRC's economic development (which also indirectly stimulate the demand along the steel and coking coal products supply chain as steel is demanded for various areas in economic development, such as infrastructure and property investment, and coking coal is demanded for steel production).

However, the recent rapid spread of the COVID-19 overseas has exceeded anticipation and its impact on the economies of other countries is likely to further affect the Chinese economy due to the effect of board linkage. According to the China Economic Update published by the World Bank in July 2020, COVID-19 and the measures to contain it triggered a combined demand and supply shock. On the supply side, measures to contain the outbreak disrupted the flow of intermediate goods, labour, and production. On the demand side, containment measures and behavioural responses reduced demand for goods and services, especially those involving human-to-human contact. Investment also contracted because of disruptions in economic activity, heightened policy uncertainty, and rising financing costs. Contraction in infrastructure and property investment would lead to contraction in construction activities, which in turn would lead to weakening demand along the steel and coking coal products supply chain.

According to the statistics published by the National Bureau of Statistics of the PRC, for the six months ended 30 June 2020, among industrial enterprises with main business operating income of RMB20 million or above, total profit of state-owned enterprises, joint-stock enterprises, foreign/Hong Kong/Macao/Taiwan-funded enterprises and private enterprises decreased by approximately 28.5%, 13.7%, 8.8% and 8.4% respectively on a year-on-year basis.

In addition, according to the statistics published by the National Bureau of Statistics of the PRC, for the six months ended 30 June 2020, among industrial enterprises with main business operating income of RMB20 million or above, (i) total operating income and total profit of ferrous metals manufacturing and processing industry decreased by approximately 3.8% and 40.3% respectively on a year-on-year basis; and (ii) total operating income and total profit of coal mining and washing industry decreased by approximately 11.8% and 31.2% respectively on a year-on-year basis.

With further reference to the 2019 Annual Report, due to the COVID-19, all domestic mines must pass the inspection upon resumption of production after the 2020 Lunar New Year holidays resulting in the suspension of production temporarily. According to 柳林縣能源局關於做好全縣能源企業疫情防控 復工復產等工作的通知 (Liulin County Energy Administration notice of epidemic prevention and control, work and production resumption for energy enterprises in the county*) issued by Liulin County Energy Administration in February 2020, each energy enterprise in Liulin County (including the Group's three coking coal mines and three coal preparation plants) was required to report its relevant anti-epidemic plans and resumption plan and obtain consent for work and production resumption. The Group's three coking coal mines have taken the lead in resuming the production in mid-February 2020. As advised by the Directors, the Group's overall raw coking coal output returned to normal levels in the second quarter of 2020.

With reference to an article titled "Coordinative Efforts for Epidemic Control and Economic Development Delivered Notable Results with National Economy Recovered Gradually in the First Half of 2020" published by the National Bureau of Statistics of the PRC in July 2020, according to the preliminary estimates, (i) the gross domestic product of the PRC in the first half of 2020 declined by 1.6% on a year-on-year basis (2019 1st half vs 2018 1st half: 6.3% growth); and (ii) the gross domestic product of the PRC in the second quarter of 2020 grew by 3.2% on a year-on-year basis (2019 2nd quarter vs 2018 2nd quarter: 6.2% growth). Although the economy in the PRC demonstrated gradual recovery, the economic recovery was still under pressure.

Having considered the impact of the COVID-19 and the weakened economic figures of the PRC for the six months ended 30 June 2020 as stated above (including those of the ferrous metals manufacturing and processing industry and the coal mining and washing industry), the prospects of the coal mining and washing industry and the Group's businesses are uncertain in near future.

  1. Reasons for and the benefits of the Offer

With reference to "Letter from the Board" of the Offer Document, the Board believes it is appropriate to utilise certain of the Company's funds to buy-back the Shares and to thereby provide a mechanism for the Qualifying Shareholders to dispose of their Shares at a premium to the prevailing market prices should they wish to do so.

The price of the Shares has historically been traded at a significant discount to the Group's net asset value per Share. During the past twelve months and up to the Latest Practicable Date, the highest closing price per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange was HK$1.83 on 13 July 2020 (i.e. the Last Trading Day) and the lowest closing price per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange was HK$1.25 on 19 March 2020. The closing price of the Shares of HK$1.83 per Share on the Last Trading Day represents a discount of approximately 38.2% to the Group's net asset value attributable to owners of the Company of HK$2.96 per Share as at 31 December 2019.

Please refer to the section headed "(4) The Offer Price" below for our further analysis.

In light of the above, we are of the view that the Offer will:

  1. return part of the Company's funds to the Shareholders;
  2. provide an opportunity for the Shareholders either to sell their Shares at a premium to the prevailing market prices and receive cash or to increase their proportionate interests in the Company by retaining their holdings and participating in the future prospects of the Company with enhanced net asset value per Share attributable to each Share held by them after the Offer; and
  3. have the effect of increasing the consolidated net asset value per Share and earnings per Share upon completion of the Offer.

Although the retaining Shareholders can increase their proportionate interests in the Company and participating in the future prospects of the Company with enhanced net asset value per Share and earnings per Share attributable to each Share held by them after the Offer (please refer to the section headed "(5) Financial effect of the Offer on the Group" below for details), the prospects of the coal mining and washing industry and the Group's businesses are uncertain in near future having considered the impact of the COVID-19 and the weakened economic figures of the PRC for the six months ended 30 June 2020 as stated under the section headed "(2) Financial information on the Group" above.

We noted from the above table that the average daily trading volume of the Shares was thin during the Review Period. During the Review Period, the average daily trading volume of the Shares was below 0.5% of the total number of issued Shares held by the public and the total number of issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Given the thin liquidity in the Shares, it is uncertain as to whether there would be sufficient liquidity in the Shares for the Shareholders to dispose of a significant number of Shares in the open market without causing an adverse impact on the market price level of the Shares.

Comparison with other comparable companies

To further assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Offer Price, we considered that the trading multiples analyses of price to earnings ratio ("PER") and price to book ratio ("PBR") of comparable companies are commonly adopted for valuation of companies (i.e. to compare the Offer Price against the market valuation of other comparable companies). We noted that the Group made profit attributable to owners of the Company for FY2019 and recorded positive equity attributable to owners of the Company as at 31 December 2019. In addition, it is necessary for comparable companies to have earnings to form PER and positive book value to form PBR. Accordingly, we searched for listed companies in Hong Kong which (i) are engaged in similar line of business as the Group, being mining, processing and sale of coking coal/coal in the PRC (and derived more than 50% of their turnover/revenue from such business based on their respective published financial information for the latest full financial year); (ii) were profit making in the latest full financial year; (iii) had positive net asset value attributable to owners of the company; and (iv) shares were not suspended from trading for long (i.e. three months or more), for comparison. We found 9 companies listed in Hong Kong which met our selection criteria and they are exhaustive (the "Comparable Company(ies)").

Although market capitalisations, profitability and financial positions of the Comparable Companies may not be the same as those of the Company, we consider that the Comparable Companies are fair and representative to provide information of the valuation of companies similar to the Company.

  1. The PERs and the PBRs of the Comparable Companies were calculated based on their respective latest published financial results and their respective closing prices as quoted on the Stock Exchange and total issued shares as at the Latest Practicable Date.
  2. Based on the closing price of the Share as at the Latest Practicable Date.
  3. The implied PER of the Offer was calculated based on the Offer Price, the profit attributable to owners of the Company for FY2019 and 5,301,837,842 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date.
  4. The implied PBR of the Offer was calculated based on the Offer Price, the equity attributable to owners of the Company as at 31 December 2019 and 5,301,837,842 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date.

We noticed from the above table that (i) the PERs of the Comparable Companies ranged from approximately 0.62 times to 26.51 times, with an average and a median of approximately 5.62 times and 3.10 times respectively; and (ii) the PBRs of the Comparable Companies ranged from approximately 0.07 times to 4.78 times, with an average and a median of approximately 0.95 times and 0.49 respectively. Both of the implied PER and implied PBR of the Offer Price are within the said PER range and PBR range of the Comparable Companies respectively.

Although the implied PBR of the Offer Price is lower than the average PBR of the Comparable Companies, the implied PBR of the Offer Price is higher than (i) the median of the PBRs of the Comparable Companies; and (ii) the PBRs of 7 out of 9 Comparable Companies.

Conclusion on the Offer Price

Taking into account that:

  1. save for 12 April 2019, 15 April 2019, 16 April 2019 and 24 April 2019, the Offer Price of HK$2.00 lies above the closing prices of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange during the entire Review Period;
  2. given the thin liquidity in the Shares, it is uncertain as to whether there would be sufficient liquidity in the Shares for the Shareholders to dispose of a significant number of Shares in the open market without causing an adverse impact on the market price level of the Shares;
  3. both of the implied PER and implied PBR of the Offer Price are within the said PER range and PBR range of the Comparable Companies respectively; and
  4. although the implied PBR of the Offer Price is lower than the average PBR of the Comparable Companies, the implied PBR of the Offer Price is higher than (a) the median of the PBRs of the Comparable Companies; and (b) the PBRs of 7 out of 9 Comparable Companies,

we consider the Offer Price to be fair and reasonable and we are of the view that the Offer provides an exit alternative for the Independent Shareholders who would like to realise their investments in the Shares.

  1. Financial effect of the Offer on the Group

Based on the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Group as set out in Appendix III to the Offer Document and assuming that the Offer had been completed, (i) the unaudited pro forma adjusted consolidated net assets per Share attributable to the owners of the Company as at 31 December 2019 would be approximately HK$3.00 (as compared to the audited consolidated net assets per Share attributable to the owners of the Company of approximately HK$2.96 as at 31 December 2019); (ii) unaudited pro forma adjusted earnings per Share to the owners of the Company for FY2019 would be approximately HK22.57 cents (as compared to the audited earnings per Share of HK21.51 cents for FY2019).

  1. Whitewash Waivers

As at the Latest Practicable Date, (i) the Funde Shareholder was beneficially interested in 1,590,100,000 Shares, representing approximately 29.99% of the total issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date; and (ii) the Shougang Shareholders were beneficially interested in 1,582,864,490 Shares, representing approximately 29.85% of the total issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date. The Funde Shareholder and the Shougang Shareholders are presumed to be acting in concert under presumption class (1) of the definition of "acting in concert" under the Codes.

- 45 -

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

The Funde Shareholder and the Shougang Shareholders have irrevocably undertaken to the Company that they will not accept the Offer for the Shares held by them respectively as at the Latest Practicable Date. Such irrevocable undertakings will be binding until the lapse, withdrawal or closing of the Offer.

Pursuant to Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code and Rule 6 of the Share Buy-backs Code, if as a result of a share buy-back, a shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the repurchasing company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. Consequently, depending on the level of acceptances received from the Accepting Shareholders pursuant to the Offer and taking into account the fact that each of the Funde Shareholder and the Shougang Shareholders has irrevocably undertaken to the Company that they will not accept the Offer for the Shares held by them respectively as at the Latest Practicable Date, the aggregate interests in the total issued Shares held by (i) the Funde Concert Group may increase from its current level of approximately 29.99% to a maximum of approximately 31.48% and (ii) the Shougang Concert Group may increase from its current level of approximately 29.85% to a maximum of approximately 31.33%, in each case upon completion of the Offer, thereby triggering an obligation by the Funde Shareholder and the Shougang Shareholders under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code to make a mandatory general offer for all of the Shares not beneficially owned by the Funde Concert Group and the Shougang Concert Group, respectively.

Accordingly, an application for the Whitewash Waiver has been made to the Executive by each of the Funde Shareholder and the Shougang Shareholders. The Executive has indicated that the Executive will grant the Whitewash Waivers, subject to, among others, approval by the Independent Shareholders at the General Meeting by way of poll, to waive any obligations of each of the Funde Shareholder and the Shougang Shareholders to make a mandatory general offer which might result from completion of the Offer.

The Offer will be conditional upon approval by the Independent Shareholders voting, in person or by proxy, by way of poll at the General Meeting and the Whitewash Waivers being granted by the Executive, which would also be subject to the approval by at least 75% of the votes cast by the Independent Shareholders voting, in person or by proxy, by way of poll at the General Meeting. The Offer will not proceed if the Whitewash Waivers are not granted by the Executive or the Offer as well as the Whitewash Waivers are not approved by the Independent Shareholders at the General Meeting.

RECOMMENDATION

The Offer

Having considered the principal factors and reasons as discussed above, in particular:

  1. the Offer will return part of the Company's funds to the Shareholders;
  2. the Offer provides an opportunity for the Shareholders either to sell their Shares at a premium to the prevailing market prices and receive cash or to increase their proportionate interests in the Company by retaining their holdings and participating in the future prospects of the Company with enhanced net asset value per Share attributable to each Share held by them after the Offer;

  1. although the retaining Shareholders can increase their proportionate interests in the Company and participating in the future prospects of the Company with enhanced net asset value per Share attributable to each Share held by them after the Offer (please refer to the section headed "(5) Financial effect of the Offer on the Group" above for details), the prospects of the coal mining and washing industry and the Group's businesses are uncertain in near future having considered the impact of the COVID-19 and the weakened economic figures of the PRC for the six months ended 30 June 2020 as stated under the section headed "(2) Financial information on the Group" above;
  2. save for 12 April 2019, 15 April 2019, 16 April 2019 and 24 April 2019, the Offer Price of HK$2.00 lies above the closing price of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange during the entire Review Period;
  3. given the thin liquidity in the Shares, it is uncertain as to whether there would be sufficient liquidity in the Shares for the Shareholders to dispose of a significant number of Shares in the open market without causing an adverse impact on the market price level of the Shares;
  4. the implied PER of the Offer Price is within the said PER range of the Comparable Companies, while the implied PBR of the Offer Price is within the said PBR range of the Comparable Companies; and
  5. although the implied PBR of the Offer Price is lower than the average PBR of the Comparable Companies, the implied PBR of the Offer Price is higher than (a) the median of the PBRs of the Comparable Companies; and (b) the PBRs of 7 out of 9 Comparable Companies,

we consider that the terms of the Offer (including the Offer Price) are fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Independent Shareholders. Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution with respect to the approval of the Offer and to accept the Offer.

Nevertheless, Independent Shareholders who, after reading through the 2019 Annual Report and the Offer Document, are optimistic about the future financial performance of the Group after the Offer, may, having regard to their own circumstances, consider retaining all or any part of their Shares.

We would also like to remind the Independent Board Committee to remind the Independent Shareholders to closely monitor the market price and liquidity of the Shares during the Offer Period, and consider selling their Shares in the open market, where possible, instead of accepting the Offer, if the net proceeds from such sales exceed the net amount receivable under the Offer.

Independent Shareholders should closely monitor the market price and liquidity of the Shares during the Offer Period and carefully consider the relevant risks and uncertainties based on their individual risk preference and tolerance level. Those Independent Shareholders who decide to retain part or all of their investments in the Shares should also carefully monitor the financial performance of the Group.

The Whitewash Waiver

As aforementioned, the Offer will not proceed if the Whitewash Waivers are not granted by the Executive or the Offer as well as the Whitewash Waivers are not approved by the Independent Shareholders at the General Meeting.

In view of (i) the aforesaid reasons for and benefits of the Offer; and (ii) that the terms of the Offer are fair and reasonable, we are of the opinion that the approval of the Whitewash Waivers, which is a prerequisite for proceeding with the Offer, is (a) in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders (including the Independent Shareholders); and (b) is fair and reasonable for the purpose of proceeding with the Offer.

Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the relevant resolution to be proposed at the General Meeting to approve the Whitewash Waivers.

As different Shareholders would have different investment criteria, objectives and/or circumstances, we would recommend any Shareholders who may require advice in relation to any aspect of the Offer Document, or as to the action to be taken, to consult a licensed securities dealer, bank manager, solicitor, professional accountant, tax adviser or other professional adviser.

Yours faithfully,

For and on behalf of

Gram Capital Limited

APPENDIX I

PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE OFFER

Octal Capital will make the Offer to the Qualifying Shareholders on behalf of the Company to buy-back Shares, on the terms and subject to the Conditions set out in this Offer Document. The principal terms and conditions of the Offer are set out below.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE OFFER

  1. The Offer
    The Company will buy-back Shares up to the Maximum Number of Shares at the Offer Price.
  2. Conditions
    The Offer will be conditional upon the following Conditions being fulfilled:
    1. the approval by more than 50% of the votes cast by the Independent Shareholders, voting in person or by proxy, by way of a poll having been obtained at the General Meeting in respect of the Offer;
    2. the approval by at least 75% of the votes cast by the Independent Shareholders, voting in person or by proxy, by way of a poll having been obtained at the General Meeting in respect of the Whitewash Waivers; and
    3. the Executive granting the Whitewash Waivers and the satisfaction of any conditions attached to the Whitewash Waivers and the Whitewash Waivers not having been revoked or withdrawn.

None of the Conditions above can be waived.

The Offer will not be conditional on any minimum number of acceptances.

The Offer is subject to all of the Conditions being fulfilled in full. If the Whitewash Waivers are not granted by the Executive, or if the resolution to approve the Offer is not passed by the Independent Shareholders or if the resolution to approve the Whitewash Waivers is not passed by the Independent Shareholders, the Offer will not proceed and will immediately lapse.

3. Maximum Number of Shares

The Maximum Number of Shares which will be bought-back by the Company pursuant to the Offer is 250,000,000 Shares, representing approximately 4.72% of the total issued Shares of 5,301,837,842 Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date.

4. Acceptance

  1. Every Qualifying Shareholder may accept the Offer for the buy-back by the Company of any number of his/her/its Shares at the Offer Price up to his/her/its entire shareholding as at the Latest Acceptance Time by submitting to the Registrar a duly completed Acceptance Form, accompanied by the Title Documents. Each Share may only be accepted for buy-back by the Company once.

- I-1 -

APPENDIX I

PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE OFFER

  1. Qualifying Shareholders may accept the Offer in respect of some or all of their shareholding. If valid acceptances are received for the Maximum Number of Shares or fewer Shares, all Shares validly accepted will be bought-back. If valid acceptances received exceed the Maximum Number of Shares, the total number of Shares to be bought-back by the Company from each Accepting Shareholder will be determined in accordance with the following formula save that the Company may in its absolute discretion round such figure up or down with the intention of avoiding (as far as practicable) Shares being held by Accepting Shareholders in odd lots or fractional entitlements:

A

X C

B

A = 250,000,000 Shares, being the Maximum Number of Shares

B = Total number of Shares tendered by all Accepting Shareholders under the Offer

C = Total number of Shares tendered by the relevant individual Accepting Shareholder under the Offer

As a result, it is possible that not all of such Shares tendered by an Accepting Shareholder will ultimately be bought-back. The total number of Shares which will be bought-back by the Company will not exceed the Maximum Number of Shares. The decision of the Company as to any scaling down of acceptances in accordance with the above formula and as to the treatment of fractions will be conclusive and binding on all Shareholders.

  1. The Offer Price will be paid in cash.
  2. Acceptance Forms which have been duly completed and received by or on behalf of the Company will become irrevocable and cannot be withdrawn unless in accordance with Rule 19.2 of the Takeovers Code.
  3. Shares will be bought-back in cash, free of commission, levies and dealing charges, save that the amount of seller's ad valorem stamp duty due on the Shares bought-back attributable to the Qualifying Shareholders who accept the Offer and calculated at a rate of HK$1.00 for every HK$1,000 or part thereof of the market value of the Shares to be bought-back under the Offer or the consideration payable by the Company in respect of relevant acceptances of the Offer, whichever is the higher, will be deducted by the Company from the amount payable to the Accepting Shareholders and will be paid by the Company on behalf of the Accepting Shareholders. The Company will arrange for payment of the seller's ad valorem stamp duty on behalf of the Accepting Shareholders in respect of the Offer.
  4. Shares bought-back under the Offer will be treated as cancelled and will not be entitled to any dividend that may be declared on or after the date of the Announcement.

APPENDIX I

PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE OFFER

  1. Shares will be bought-back free from all liens, charges, encumbrances, equitable interests, rights of pre-emption or other third party rights of any nature. Accordingly, the submission of an Acceptance Form by an Accepting Shareholder will be deemed to constitute a warranty by that Accepting Shareholder to Octal Capital and the Company that the Shares are being sold free from all liens, charges, encumbrances, equitable interests, rights of pre-emption or other third party rights of any nature and together with all rights attaching thereto on or after the date of the Announcement.

5. Odd Lots Arrangements

Currently, the Shares are traded in board lots of 2,000 Shares each. Such board lot size will not

change as a result of the Offer.

In view of the procedures for scaling down in respect of the Shares tendered under the Offer as described under the section headed "Other Terms of the Offer" in the letter from Octal Capital, an Accepting Shareholder may, as a result of the Offer, hold odd lots of the Shares.

For this purpose, Sanfull Securities Limited, whose address is at Suite 2001-6, 20/F, Cosco Tower, 183 Queen's Road Central, Hong Kong (contact person: Mr. Billy Chan; telephone number: 2853 2211) has been appointed by the Company as the designated broker to match sales and purchases of odd lot holdings of Shares in the market for a period of six weeks from the completion of the Offer to enable odd lot Shareholders to dispose of their odd lots or to top up their odd lots to whole board lots of 2,000 Shares. Odd lot Shareholders should note that the matching of odd lots is not guaranteed. Further details of the related arrangements will be announced after the Offer has become unconditional.

  1. Acceptance Period
    1. The Offer is open for acceptance from the date of this Offer Document. If the Conditions are satisfied, the Offer will be open for acceptance for a period of 14 days after the Offer has become unconditional. In order to be valid, an Acceptance Form must be duly completed, together with the Title Documents for not less than the number of Shares in respect of which the relevant Qualifying Shareholder wishes to accept the Offer, delivered to and received by the Registrar at or before the Latest Acceptance Time, which is currently expected to be 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, 17 September 2020, or such later date as the Company may, with the prior consent of the Executive, decide and announce.
    2. The date when the last one of the Conditions is expected to be satisfied is 3 September 2020. Such date may be postponed by the Company, subject to receiving the prior consent of the Executive.
  2. Irrevocable Acceptances

Acceptance Forms which have been duly completed and received by the Registrar will constitute irrevocable acceptances of the Offer and cannot be withdrawn unless in accordance with Rule 19.2 of the Takeovers Code.

Any revised offer will be kept open for at least 14 days following the date on which the revised Offer Document is posted.

  1. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP

As mentioned in the Annual Report 2019, due to the outbreak of coronavirus disease in 2019 ("COVID-19"), all domestic mines must pass the inspection upon resumption of production after the Lunar New Year holidays resulting in the suspension of production temporarily. Currently, the three coking coal mines of the Group has took the lead in passing the inspection and resumed to production in the mid of February 2020. The Group expects that the overall raw coking coal output will gradually return to normal levels and will increase output accordingly compare to that of 2019.

As the upstream industry of steel sector, the demand in coking coal products is benefited from the continuing structural reform of the sector, as well as the policies from the PRC government in promoting infrastructure investment, which will have positive effect on the demand side growth for the steel industry this year. Since 2019, the PRC government has vigorously promoted infrastructure investment to ensure economic growth and stabilize employment, where local government debt issuance exceeded RMB4 trillion in the year of 2019. The Group expects that with such funding in place, more infrastructure projects will be launched in 2020, which will promote the demand for steel and coking coal products. The Group further expects that the prices of coking coal products to remain relatively stable.

Looking forward, the global economic outlook is expected to continue to be filled with challenges such as the global spreading of the COVID-19 and the trade negotiation between the PRC and US. The Group remained cautious about future coking coal and steel prices. In response to the pandemic development and trade tension, the Group will continue to utilise its stable financial position and strong cash flow advantage to cope with the fluctuation of the markets of coking coal products and capitalize on potential business opportunities. The Group will also monitor closely on market conditions and adjust its operating strategy from time to time.

6. The health of our Shareholders, staff and stakeholders is of paramount importance to us. In view of the ongoing Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the Company will implement the following precautionary measures at the General Meeting to protect attending Shareholders, staff and stakeholders from the risk of infection:

  1. compulsory body temperature checks will be conducted for every Shareholder, proxy or other attendee at each entrance of the General Meeting venue. Any person with a body temperature of over 37.4 degrees Celsius may be denied entry into the General Meeting venue or be required to leave the General Meeting venue;
  2. each attendee is required to wear a surgical face mask at all times at the General Meeting and inside the General Meeting venue, and to maintain a safe distance between seats;
  3. no refreshment will be served; and
  4. each attendee may be asked whether (a) he/she has travelled outside of Hong Kong within the 14-day period immediately before the General Meeting and (b) he/she is subject to any Hong Kong Government prescribed quarantine. Anyone who responds positively to any of these questions may be denied entry into the General Meeting venue or be required to leave the General Meeting venue. Alternatively, Shareholders may appoint the chairman of the General Meeting as their proxy to attend and vote on the relevant resolutions at the General Meeting as an alternative to attending the General Meeting or any adjourned meeting thereof (as the case may be) in person by completing and returning the form of proxy attached to this Offer Document.

Pursuant to the restriction of the number of participants in a shareholders' meeting imposed under the Prevention and Control of Disease (Prohibition on Group Gathering) Regulation (the "Regulation") as amended from time to time, group gatherings of more than 20 persons for shareholders' meetings are required to be accommodated in separate rooms or partitioned areas of not more than 20 persons each. To comply with the Regulation, the Company will provide enough rooms to separate Shareholders if necessary. Therefore, the Company reminds all Shareholders that physical attendance in person at the General Meeting is not necessary for the purpose of exercising voting rights.

The Company will keep the Shareholders informed by way of further announcement if there are any material updates on the Regulation which would affect the General Meeting.
