CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS On 12 November 2019, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx and Yanchang Petroleum Group entered into the New Supply Agreement, pursuant to which Yanchang Petroleum Group will continue to supply the refined oil to Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx for the three years ending 31 December 2022. The Board considers that the entering into of the New Supply Agreement is in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole, as Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx can continue to have secured refined oil supply from Yanchang Petroleum Group for the Group’s major operation in the PRC at the rates no less favourable than those available to the independent third party customers of Yanchang Petroleum Group for the comparable product type and quantity at the relevant time and therefore can maintain the market competitiveness of the Group. Henan Yanchang is a non wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, while Yanchang Petroleum Group, being a substantial Shareholder beneficially holding 6,496,729,547 Shares as at the date of this announcement representing approximately 53.49% of the existing issued share capital of the Company, is a connected person of the Company as defined under the Listing Rules and hence the transactions contemplated under the New Supply Agreement will constitute continuing connected transactions of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. As the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the amount of the Continuing Connected Transactions exceed 5% and the consideration exceeds HK$10,000,000 on an annual basis, the New Supply Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are subject to the reporting, announcement, annual review and the Independent Shareholders’ approval requirement under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. The SGM will be convened by the Company to seek the approval from the Independent Shareholders for the New Supply Agreement and the transactions and matters contemplated thereunder by way of poll. As Yanchang Petroleum Group being a substantial Shareholder is a connected person and hence Yanchang Petroleum Group, together with its associates, will abstain from voting at the SGM. An Independent Board Committee comprising all the independent non-executive Directors has been established to advise the Independent Shareholders in relation to, among other things, the New Supply Agreement and the transactions and matters contemplated thereunder and on how to vote. Astrum Capital Management Limited has been appointed as the Independent Financial Adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Continuing Connected Transactions.
