CONNECTED TRANSACTION

THE PIPERACK MODULE FABRICATION CONTRACT WITH WISON NANTONG

THE PIPERACK MODULE FABRICATION CONTRACT

The Board announces that on August 22, 2017, Wison Petrochemicals and Wison Nantong entered into the Piperack Module Fabrication Contract, pursuant to which Wison Petrochemicals engaged Wison Nantong to supply Piperack Modules for the FPC LDPE Project at the contract price of US$7,375,772.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

Wison Holding is a controlling shareholder of the Company which is indirectly interested in approximately 78.12% of the total issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this announcement. Hence, Wison Holding is a connected person of the Company. As Wison Nantong is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Wison Holding, Wison Nantong is also a connected person of the Company. Accordingly, the transaction contemplated under the Piperack Module Fabrication Contract constitutes a connected transaction of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

Reference is made to the announcements of the Company dated May 11, 2017 and June 13, 2017 in respect of the Processing and Assembling Contract and the Prefabrication and Supply Contract. Given that the Piperack Module Fabrication Contract, the Prefabrication and Supply Contract and the Processing and Assembling Contract were entered into within a 12-month period between subsidiaries of the Company on one hand and Wison Nantong on the other hand, the Piperack Module Fabrication Contract, the Prefabrication and Supply Contract and the Processing and Assembling Contract shall be aggregated pursuant to Rule 14A.81 of the Listing Rules. Since the highest applicable percentage ratio set out in Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the one-off transactions contemplated under the Piperack Module Fabrication Contract, the Prefabrication and Supply Contract and the Processing and Assembling Contract, on an aggregate basis, is above 5% but below 25%, the transaction contemplated under the Piperack Module Fabrication Contract, is subject to the reporting, annual review, announcement and independent shareholders' approval requirements set out in the Listing Rules.

The EGM will be convened by the Company during which an ordinary resolution will be proposed to the Independent Shareholders to approve the Piperack Module Fabrication Contract and the transaction contemplated thereunder. Wison Engineering Investment Limited, being a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wison Holding and directly interested in approximately 78.12% of the total issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this announcement, shall abstain from voting on the shareholders' resolution approving the Piperack Module Fabrication Contract and the transaction contemplated thereunder at the EGM.

The Piperack Module Fabrication Contract shall become effective upon the approval by the Independent Shareholders being obtained.

The Piperack Modules shall be delivered by Wison Nantong on or before February 10, 2018, thereby completing the work contemplated under the Piperack Module Fabrication Contract.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE TRANSACTION

Wison Nantong is principally engaged in the manufacture and sale of engineering machinery and ancillary steel-structured products, and provision of engineering technology services. In view of Wison Nantong's expertise in the provision of the services contemplated under the Piperack Module Fabrication Contract and familiarity with the business of Wison Petrochemicals' business, the Company considers it desirable for Wison Nantong to provide the services under the Piperack Module Fabrication Contract.

As Mr. Cui Ying is also a director of Wison Holding and the general manager of Wison Nantong, Mr. Cui Ying abstained from voting on the Board resolutions approving the transaction contemplated under the Piperack Module Fabrication Contract.

The Directors (other than the independent non-executive Directors who will be advised by the Independent Financial Adviser and Mr. Cui Ying who has abstained from voting) are of the view that the Piperack Module Fabrication Contract was entered into after arm's length negotiation between Wison Petrochemicals and Wison Nantong and in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, reflects normal commercial terms and is in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole, and the terms are fair and reasonable.
