SGM Presentation on Proposed Disposal of M&S - 15 April 2021 - Singapore ...
Rationale for the Proposed Disposal
Enable strategic focus on GI Business. Build solid business and financial profile
•   M&S Business is a manufacturing and services-based, one-off order book-driven business, providing customized services and
    products for customers. Hence, the M&S Business is "volatile" in nature with limited visibility to future earnings and dependent on
    the capital expenditure plans of its customers or downstream industries such as petrochemical, chemical and solar industries

•   Building a solid business and financial profile for the Group and strategically focusing on the GI Business after the Proposed
    Disposal. The GI Business is attractive in the following manner:
          it generates sizeable income and cash flow;
          it generates long-term recurring income and cash flows, with diverse and captive industrial customers through
           typically exclusive long-term concessions of approximately 30 years; and
          it has high barriers to entry for new entrants.

•   Increased business opportunities in the PRC anti-smog sector, due to:
            PRC government having placed increasing focus on environmental policies and the regulatory shift to environmental-
             friendly centralized facilities and practices;
            Strict zoning policies that mandate the location and/or relocation of new factories into industrial parks with such
             centralised infrastructure; and
            Organic expansion of customers and industrial parks served by the GI Projects, which the Board believes that the GI
             Group is well positioned to capitalise on.
                                                                                                                                          10

 Generates Long-Term Recurring Income and Cash Flows, with Diverse and Captive Industrial Customers
  • Exclusive, long tenure concessions that typically last for approximately 30 years
  • Diverse and captive end users in the industrial parks that spread across several provinces in the PRC
  • Barring unforeseen circumstances, expect GI Projects to continue generating cash flows over the typical concession period of
     approximately 30 years
                                                                                                                                   14
Attractiveness of the GI Business (Cont’d)
 Highly Sought-After Assets with High Entry Barriers
    •   A resilient business model with enormous growth opportunities in China's anti-smog sector
    •   Increasing focus by PRC government on environmental policies and the anti-smog sector, targeting to eliminate and decentralise high-
        emission pollutive boilers and focus on centralised steam and electricity solutions in industrial parks. The permits and concessions for
        centralised steam and electricity plants in industrial parks are highly sought after and with high barriers to entry for new entrants

 Experienced and dedicated management team in place to provide high quality leadership

 Multiple potential sources of funds to fund its growth strategy, including future expected cash flows from existing GI Projects
  and external sources of funding e.g. bank loans, medium-term note programmes, etc.

   Two-pronged growth strategy with emphasis on quality of development that amplifies its strengths:
    •   Solidifying its market position as an environmentally clean centralised provider of industrial steam, heating and electricity via:
        a) The continuous ramp-up of utilisation of its existing GI portfolio, supported by further expansion of the coverage areas and customer
           base of the projects but with less intense capital expenditure
        b) Proceeding with the planned construction of the expansion phases of certain existing projects
        c) The continuous cultivation of the earnings quality and asset returns of existing projects
    •   Tapping into its proven ability to identify and invest in additional promising GI projects that meet the investment hurdles

AGENDA
                                            16
Rationale for Proposed Amendments to Convertible Bond Purchase Agreements

 Under the Existing Terms of the Convertible Bond Purchase Agreements, prior written consent of the Majority Bondholders is
  required for the following, which includes the Proposed Disposal and the Special Dividend

        any disposal of any material assets or businesses except as contemplated in the current business plan
        change in business scope or expansion into non-core business areas
        any voluntary corporate action which would require Company to obtain shareholder approval
        change in the size or composition of the board of directors or the compensation of Mr Guo and Mr Ma, or appointment,
         removal or settlement of the terms of their appointment

 Proposed Disposal would require prior Majority Bondholders’ consent as
.

      It constitutes a disposal of a material business of the Company, which changes its business scope, and further constitutes
       a Major Transaction under Chapter 10 and constitutes an Interested Person Transaction under Chapter 9 of the SGX-ST
       Listing Manual, and is subject to Shareholders’ approval
      The roles of Mr. Guo and Mr. Ma on the Company's Board and the compensation are expected to change in connection
       with the Proposed Disposal

 Bondholders have agreed to provide their consent which would be conditional upon (a) certain amendments to the Existing
  Terms by way of the Amendment Agreement and the Company not being in breach of the Amendment Agreement; and (b) the SPA
  not having expired or terminated or becoming invalid (whichever is earliest).

                                                                                                                                    17
Salient Amendments to Convertible Bond Purchase Agreements

 Amended FY2022 Performance Target (PT) of RMB325 million (solely for the GI Business)
       Previous Performance Target (“PT”) for FY2021 of RMB460 million was intended for both the GI Business and the M&S
        Business.
       Amended PT intended to measure the management operating performance of the GI Business alone.
.      After considering the target performance of the GI Projects, of which, 11 existing projects will be all operational in FY2022,
        which will better represent the profitability of the GI and the historical operating and financial performance of the GI projects
        that are already operational.
       More appropriate year to measure management operating performance as the Company will have its 11 existing GI Projects
        operational in FY2022 as opposed to only eight (8) operational projects and two (2) partially operational projects in FY2021.

 Revised floor of performance adjustment of RMB108 million
       Corresponding adjustments has been made to the floor to the performance shortfall adjustment mechanisms from RMB154
        million to RMB108 million, such that the floor remains at one-third of the adjusted performance target of RMB325 million,
        consistent with the proportion of the adjustment floor to the PT under the Existing Terms.

 Corresponding amended maturity date of 3 March 2023 and adjustment period up to 31 December 2022
  (extended by one financial year)
                                                                                                                                            18
Salient Amendments to Convertible Bond Purchase Agreements

 Reduced dilution to 31.08% with Issued Bonds of US$130 million instead of fully available Convertible Bonds
  of an amount of US$180 million
      As GI projects are EBITDA-positive, and 11 GI Projects are expected to be fully operational in FY2022, the Company is in a
       position to potentially tap multiple potential sources of funds to fund its growth strategy, e.g. bank loans, medium-term notes
       program and divestment of certain assets to recycle capital.
.
      For the avoidance of doubt, the Proposed Amendments, if approved by Shareholders, are not intended to vitiate Shareholders‘
       previous approval of the issue of the US$50 million Tranche 2 CBs , which remain unissued as at the LPD. The Company shall
       be authorised to issue such Tranche 2 CBs in accordance with the Tranche 2 CB Agreements as amended by the Proposed
       Amendments, in the event the Proposed Amendments are approved by the Shareholders at the SGM.

 Excess Return Sharing will be up to US$5 million and US$15 million and will only be Shared with
  Management (excluding Mr. Guo and Mr. Ma) and no longer Shared with Shareholders
      The Bondholders seek to motivate and give clear recognition to the management of GI Business. Through the deliverables
       achieved by management, Shareholders will stand to benefit from the value created by management.
        The thresholds for the Excess Return Sharing were arrived at after the Bondholders considered their own returns as balanced
         against the sufficiency of the Excess Return Sharing threshold in order to motivate and to give clear recognition to the
         contribution of the Company's management.

   The above list of amendments are not exhaustive, and certain amendments are highlighted for ease of understanding. Please refer
    to Appendix E of the Circular for a complete list of amendments.

IFA (W Capital): Proposed Disposal and Transaction IPTs are on normal commercial
terms & are not prejudicial to the interests of the Company and Minority Shareholders

Key Considerations on how Proposed Disposal is on normal commercial terms and not prejudicial
 Significant premium to Independent Valuation
        Independent Valuation of M&S Group as at 30 September 2020 of between RMB1,726 million to RMB1,890 million.
        Consideration of RMB2,290 million represents a significant premium of between 21.2% to 32.7% above the fair market
.
           value of M&S Group as at 30 September 2020 as assessed by the Independent Valuer.

 Premium to NAV & NTA
       Unaudited proforma NAV and NTA of the M&S Group as at 31 December 2020 of approximately RMB1,260 million and
         RMB1,177 million respectively.
       Consideration is at a premium of 81.7% and 94.5% to the unaudited proforma NAV and NTA of the M&S Group as at 31
         December 2020.

 Considered (i) the rationale for the Proposed Disposal, (ii) the historical financial performance of the M&S Business, (iii) the
  financial effects of the Proposed Disposal, (iv) assessment of the terms relating to the Trademark Assignments and M&S
  Corporate Guarantees, and (v) other relevant considerations

 Valuation statistics (P/E, P/NTA and EV/EBITDA) are within/above range and are close to/above mean and median valuation
  multiples of Comparable Companies listed in Singapore and outside of Singapore
