Before receiving the raised funds from the current A-share private placement of the Company, 14 bank loans (with a total amount of 280 million Yuan) which were originally planned to be repaid by the raised funds were already mature.  The specific mature bank loans are as follows:

 

 

Since the Company has repaid the aforementioned mature bank loans with self-financed funds, for maintaining "Debt repayment" item with the total amount of 460 million Yuan raised funds unchanged, the Company proposed to modify the specific objects by using 10 immature bank loans to replace the aforementioned 280 million Yuan mature bank loans.  The 10 immature bank loans are as follows:

 

 

In addition to the replacement of the mature loans, the remaining 8 loans which were approved by the Twenty Fifth Meeting of the Sixth Board of Directors with the total amount of 180 million Yuan shall remain unchanged.

 

Independent Directors Mr. Lu Mai, Mr. Xu Yongmo and Mr. Huang Jinhui issued their independent opinions, they all agreed that: As part of the bank loans which were originally planned to be repaid by the raised funds were mature and have been repaid before the raised funds received, modification of the specific objects of bank Loans repayment by using the raised funds does not involve any change to the injection of the raise funds, the modification shall not harm the interests of the Company nor its shareholders.  Thus they agreed to modify the specific objects of bank loans repayment by using the raised funds.

 

2．Proposal in Respect of Replacing Investment through Self-financing in Projects of Funds Raised from A-share Private Placement with the Raise Funds (Voting results: affirmative 9, negative 0, abstention: 0)

 

In order to speed up the construction of the fund raised projects, the Company has already invested in the fund raised projects through self-financing.  Now that the raised funds are in place, the Company plans to replace investment through self-financing in funds raised projects with the raise funds, the total amount is 893.8573 million Yuan.

 

For detailed information, please refer to the Announcement on Replacing Investment through Self-financing in Projects of Funds Raised from A-share Private Placement with the Raise Funds.

 

Independent Directors Mr. Lu Mai, Mr. Xu Yongmo and Mr. Huang Jinhui issued independent opinions, and agreed that: The Company’s pre-investment in projects of funds raised from A-share private placement through self-financing is helpful to improving efficiency and carrying out the projects smoothly.  The amount of pre-investment of the Company though self-financing has been audited by Certified Public Accountants.  Replacing pre-investment through self-financing with the raised funds does not change the injection of the raised funds, and will not damage the interests of the Company and its shareholders.  The Company’s act of replacing pre-investment through self-financing with the raised funds is in line with the actual needs for the Company's development.  There is no damage on interests of middle and small shareholders.  Replacing pre-investment through self-financing with the raised funds is therefore agreed.
