VII. RESOLUTION IN RELATION TO THE RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION (AS DEFINED IN THE RULES GOVERNING THE LISTING OF STOCKS ON THE SHANGHAI STOCK EXCHANGE) (THE "SHANGHAI LISTING RULES") INVOLVED IN THE 2020 NON-PUBLIC ISSUANCE OF A SHARES OF THE COMPANY.

The Board considered and approved the related party transaction (as defined in the Rules Governing the Listing of Stocks on the Shanghai Stock Exchange) (the "Shanghai Listing Rules") involved in the 2020 Non-public Issuance of A Shares of the Company.

In view of the fact that Three Gorges Capital will no longer subscribe for the Non-Public Issuance of A Shares, the related party transaction (as defined in the Shanghai Listing Rules) involved in the subject matter of Non-public Issuance of A Shares has been changed. The subscription by Yangtze Ecology and TMICL for the Non-public Issuance of A Shares constitutes a related party transaction (as defined in the Shanghai Listing Rules).

  1. The connected transaction and related party transaction (as defined in the "Shanghai Listing Rules") of the Proposed TMICL Subscription

As part of the Non-public Issuance of A Shares, on 13 July 2020, the Company entered into Subscription Agreement with TMICL, pursuant to which TMICL conditionally agreed to subscribe for 35,971,223 A Shares to be issued under the Non-public Issuance of A Shares at no more than RMB200 million according to the Issue Price.

In view of the above, Three Gorges Capital will no longer subscribe the 2020 Non-public Issuance of A Shares of the Company, while TMICL will continue to subscribe for 35,971,223 A Shares to be issued under the Non-public Issuance of A Shares at no more than RMB200 million. Therefore, the subscription from TMICL will represent approximately 16.67% of the total number of A Shares proposed to be issued under the Non-public Issuance of A Shares under the adjusted Plan and shall represent approximately 45.74% of the total enlarged issued share capital of the Company upon completion of the Non-public Issuance of A Shares of the Company.

Save for the adjustment in relation to the percentage of shareholding of TMICL in the Company, there is no amendment and adjustment to the other matters in relation to the Proposed TMICL Subscription (including but not limited to the pricing principles) and any terms and conditions under the TMICL Subscription Agreement.

Mr. Liu Yujun, an executive Director of the Company and Mr. Gu Wenhui and Mr. Si Xiaolong, non-executive Directors of the Company, are related to Tianjin Investment Group or TMICL and are deemed to be unable to independently advise the Board on the connected transaction and related party transaction (as defined in the Shanghai Listing Rules) of the Proposed TMICL Subscription, therefore, they have been abstained from voting on the resolutions at the corresponding Board meetings.

9

As at the date of this announcement, TMICL directly holds 715,565,186 shares of A Shares of the Company, representing approximately 50.14% of the Company's total issued share capital. Since TMICL is the controlling shareholder of the Company, it is therefore a connected person and related party (as defined in the Shanghai Listing Rules) of the Company. According to Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules, the proposed subscription of TMICL constitutes a connected transaction of the Company; and according to the Shanghai Listing Rules, the proposed subscription of TMICL constitutes a related party transaction (as defined in the Shanghai Listing Rules) of the Company.

  1. The subscription of Yangtze Ecology regarding the Non-public Issuance of A Shares involves related party transaction (as defined in the Shanghai Listing Rules)

As part of the Non-public Issuance of A Shares, Yangtze Ecology proposed to subscribe for 179,856,115 A Shares under the Non-public Issuance of A Shares of the Company, accounting for approximately 83.33% of the total number of A Shares to be issued under the Non-public Issuance of A Shares and shall represent approximately 10.95% of the enlarged total issued share capital of the Company after the completion of the Non-public Issuance of A Shares of the Company.

Yangtze Ecology will hold a total of more than 5% of the enlarged total issued share capital of the Company after the completion of Non-public Issuance of A Shares of the Company. According to the relevant provisions of the Shanghai Listing Rules, Yangtze Ecology will become related party (as defined in the Shanghai Listing Rules) of the Company after the completion of Non-public Issuance of A Shares, and its subscription of A Shares pursuant to the Strategic Investor Subscription Agreement constitutes a related party transaction (as defined in Shanghai Listing Rules) of the Company.

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the related party transaction (as defined in the Shanghai Listing Rules) and the connected transaction involved in the Company's Non-public Issuance of A Shares complies with the relevant laws, regulations, regulatory documents and the Articles of Association, and the price and pricing method of the related party transaction (as defined in the Shanghai Listing Rules) and the connected transaction involved are fair and reasonable, in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, and there is no situation that harms the interests of the Company and all Shareholders.

TMICL is mainly engaged in the investment, operation and management of commerce, service industry, real estate industry, urban infrastructure, highway facilities and supporting facilities with its own funds; property management; self-owned housing; enterprise management consulting.

Yangtze Ecology is a company established in the PRC with limited liability and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Three Gorges Corporation. Yangtze Ecology is the main body of Three Gorges Corporation to carry out the greater ecological protection of Yangtze River. Relying on the construction of Yangtze River Economic Belt, it is responsible for the planning, design, investment, construction, operation, technological research and development, and products and services related to ecology, environmental protection, energy saving and clean energy. Yangtze Ecology operates corresponding state-owned assets according to law.

Reasons for and Benefit of the Non-Public Issuance of A Shares, Proposed TMICL Subscription and Proposed Introduction of the Strategic Investor Subscription

  1. Introduce important strategic investors who come from environmental protection industry to strengthen strategic synergies

The target subscribers for the Non-public Issuance of A Shares are Yangtze Ecology and TMICL. Yangtze Ecology is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Three Gorges Corporation, and is also the key player of Three Gorges Corporation to carry out the great protection of the Yangtze River. Shouldering the mission of "achieving a fundamental improvement in the water quality of the Yangtze River", Yangtze Ecology is core member in the environmental protection industry.

After the completion of the Non-public Issuance of A Shares, the Company will effectively utilize the industrial background, market channels and other resource advantages of the Strategic Investors to actively expand its market share and influence, provide the society with efficient and high-quality comprehensive environmental services based on the "Great Yangtze River Protection Plan" and the corporate vision of "returning clear water and sending freshness to the world", and achieve the development goal of building an ecological civilization in the new era set forth at the 19th National Congress of the CPC.

12

  1. Keep abreast of the policies to seize market opportunities

Positioned as a "comprehensive environmental service provider", the Company continues to consolidate the basic business centering sewage treatment, vigorously expands potential business fields such as solid waste treatment, new energy, and environmental protection technology, and explores emerging business fields such as environmental remediation and environmental monitoring. Through this Non-public Issuance of A Shares, the Company will enhance its capital reserves and strengthen the flexibility of operation and management, so as to seize the opportunities brought by the rapid development of the industry and the national policies, and to cope with the challenges brought by macroeconomic fluctuations and increasingly fierce competition in the environmental protection industry.

  1. Optimize capital structure to alleviate working capital pressure

In recent years, the Company's business scale continues to expand, and the demand for working capital increases accordingly. The current capital structure of the Company not only restricts the ability of indirect financing, but also exposes the Company to certain financial risks. The Company will raise funds through the Non-public Issuance of A Shares to repay interest-bearing liabilities and replenish working capital. On one hand, it is beneficial for reducing the asset-liability ratio, optimizing the capital structure and reducing the debt repayment risk. On the other hand, it is conducive to further expanding the Company's financial strength, improving its anti-risk ability, financial security level and financial flexibility, and supporting its stable and rapid development.

VIII. DECISION-MAKING PROCEDURES AND OTHER MATTERS PERFORMED BY THE COMPANY

  1. BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF THE NON-PUBLIC ISSUANCE
  1. Background of the non-public issuance

1. Water pollution treatment has ushered in favorable policies and trends

In recent years, with the growth of population and economic development, environmental pollution and resource shortage have become increasingly prominent in our country. Building an "environment-friendly" and "resource-conserving" society has become China's basic national policy, and the investment in environmental protection has been increasing year by year. In recent years, relevant policies of the water sector have been issued frequently, which have an important impact on the external environment of China's water sector. Water pollution treatment has ushered in favorable policies and trends.

The new Environmental Protection Law, which took effect on January 1, 2015, sets stricter standards for China's environmental governance. In addition, the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Water Pollution (issued in 1984, revised in 1996, revised in 2008, and revised in 2017), the Implementing Rules for the Water Pollution Prevention Law of the People's Republic of China (issued in 2000), the Water Law of the People's Republic of China (issued in 1988, revised in 2002) also set out regulations on water pollution control and water resource protection, providing a strong legal guarantee for strengthening water pollution control and accelerating water pollution control. In recent two years, the Opinions on Comprehensively Strengthening Ecological and Environmental Protection and Resolutely Fighting the Battle against Pollution (issued in 2018), the Opinions on Innovating and Improving The Price Mechanism for Promoting Green Development (issued in 2018), the Notice on Further Accelerating Urban Sewage and Garbage Treatment in Central and Western China (issued in 2019) and other relevant guidelines were issued to improve the supervision and management of water pollution prevention and control, and intensify the punishment for damaging the water environment.

2. The industry market capacity continues to expand and grow

Clear goals for the prevention and control of industrial pollution and the treatment of urban domestic pollution are set in the Action Plan for The Prevention and Control of Water Pollution issued in 2015: The existing urban sewage treatment facilities shall meet the corresponding discharge standards or recycling requirements by the end of 2020; By 2017, sewage in the built-up areas of municipalities directly under the central government, provincial capitals and cities separately listed in the state plan shall be totally collected and treated, while other cities shall reach this goal by the end of 2020; The modification of the existing sludge treatment and disposal facilities should be completed by the end of 2017, and the rate of harmless treatment and disposal of sludge in cities at and above the prefectural level should reach above 90% by the end of 2020. In the 13th Five-Year Plan for Ecological and Environmental Protection, it is also proposed to accelerate the improvement of urban sewage treatment system, raise discharge standards and improve the utilization rate of reclaimed water. By 2020, urban and county sewage treatment rates shall reach 95% and 85% respectively.

- A-11 -

The urban sewage treatment industry has become mature. With the gradual improvement of pollutant discharge standards for urban sewage treatment plants in recent years, the demand of urban sewage treatment industry in the future mainly comes from the "modification of sewage plants based on the improved standards". Rural areas have become a new growth point for the industry. The 13th Five-Year Plan for the Comprehensive Improvement of the Rural Environment issued in 2017 has emphasized the importance of rural sewage treatment, requiring that the rural sewage treatment rate be increased from 10% in 2014 to 33.6% in 2020, corresponding to a compound growth rate of 23% during the 13th five-year plan period. The rural water treatment market will gradually expand and become a new growth point of water affairs market.

3. The reform of the water price system and the increase of the price are conducive to enhancing the profitability of the water industry and the value of water assets

China is a country with a shortage of water resources per capita. With the continuous increase of the total consumption of water, the water resources problems in China are becoming more and more serious. At present, due to the uneven distribution of water resources and the rapid advancement of urbanization, most cities in China are facing the dilemma of water shortage. Therefore, strengthening the utilization of water resources, improving water efficiency and eradicating water pollution accord with the basic national policy of environmental protection in China.

In order to give full play to the role of water price in promoting water conservation and improving water efficiency, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development issued the Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Establishment and Improvement of The Tiered Water Price System for Urban Residents on December 31, 2013, requiring that on the premise of ensuring the basic domestic water needs of residents, and on the basis of reforming the way of pricing water for residents, we shall give full play to the regulating role of the tiered price mechanism, promote water conservation and improve the utilization efficiency of water resources by perfecting the system, increasing investment, improving security and other measures. The reform of water pricing has not only enhanced the profitability of water supply enterprises, but also driven the rapid development of the whole environmental protection and water treatment industry.

Since 2016, many cities across the country, including Tianjin, Shenzhen, Zhengzhou, Changchun and Guiyang, have raised sewage treatment fees, and water prices have been on the rise. There is still a large room for improvement of China's water price when compared with foreign countries. The reform of the water price system and the price increase will bring huge development potential for the future development of the water industry, and the profitability of the water industry and the value of water assets will be enhanced.

(II) Purpose of the non-public issuance

1. To introduce important strategic investors from environmental protection industry and strengthen strategic synergies

In addition to TMICL, the target subscriber for the non-public issuance is Yangtz Ecology and Environment. Yangtz Ecology and Environment is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Three Gorges Corporation, and is also the key player of Three Gorges Corporation to carry out the great protection of the Yangtze River. Shouldering the mission of fundamentally improving the water quality of Yangtz River, Yangtz Ecology and Environment is the backbone of the environmental protection industry.

After the completion of the non-public issuance, the Company will effectively utilize the industrial background, market channels and other resource advantages of the strategic investors to actively expand its market share and influence, provide the society with efficient and high-quality comprehensive environmental services based on the "Great Yangtze River Protection Plan" and the corporate vision of "returning clear water and sending freshness to the world", and achieve the development goal of building an ecological civilization in the new era set forth at the 19th National Congress of the CPC.

2. To keep abreast of the policies and seize market opportunities

Positioned as a "comprehensive environmental service provider", the Company continues to consolidate the basic business centering sewage treatment, vigorously expands potential business fields such as solid waste treatment, new energy, and environmental protection technology, and explores emerging business fields such as environmental remediation and environmental monitoring. Through this offering, the Company will enhance its capital reserves and strengthen the flexibility of operation and management, so as to seize the opportunities brought by the rapid development of the industry and the national policies, and to cope with the challenges brought by macroeconomic fluctuations and increasingly fierce competition in the environmental protection industry.

3. To optimize capital structure, alleviate working capital pressure

In recent years, the Company's business scale continues to expand, and the demand for working capital increases accordingly. The current capital structure of the Company not only restricts the ability of indirect financing, but also exposes the Company to certain financial risks. The Company will raise funds through this offering to repay interest- bearing liabilities and supplement working capital.

According to the above provisions, the pricing benchmark date for the non-public issuance shall be the announcement date of the board resolution of the issuer approving the non-public issuance. The offering price for the non-public issuance shall be 80% of the issuer's average stock trading price on the 20 trading days before the pricing benchmark date (average stock trading price on the 20 trading days before the pricing benchmark date = total stock trading volume on the 20 trading days before the pricing benchmark date/total stock trading volume on the 20 trading days before the pricing benchmark date), namely, RMB5.56/share. The offering price shall be adjusted accordingly in cases of ex-rights and ex-dividends matters such as dividend, bonus issuance and conversion of capital reserve into share capital during the period from the pricing benchmark date to the date of the issuance. The adjustment formula is as follows:

Assuming that the offering price before adjustment is P0, the number of shares resulting from issuance of bonus shares or conversion into share capital is N per share, the dividend/cash dividend per share is D, and the offering price after adjustment is P1, then:

In case of dividend/cash dividend: P1=P0-D

In case of issuance of bonus shares or conversion into share capital: P1=P0/(1+N)

In case of both: P1=(P0-D)/(1+N)

2. The Company has established a sound governance standard and internal control system for the use of proceeds

The Company has established a modern enterprise system with corporate governance structure as the core according to the governance standards of listed companies, and formed a relatively standardized and standard corporate governance system and comprehensive internal control procedures through continuous improvement and optimization. In terms of the management of the proceeds, the Company has also established the Proceeds Management System in accordance with the regulatory requirements, which has clear provisions on the storage, use and management of the proceeds to ensure the standard, safe and efficient use of the raised funds. After the proceeds from the non-public issuance are received, the Company will deposit the proceeds in the special account designated by the board of directors according to the requirements of the system and use the funds for the specified purchase, in order to ensure the reasonable and standardized use of the proceeds and prevent the risks in connection with the use.

The Company's debt ratio will not become too low and no unreasonable financial costs will be incurred.

VI. RISKS RELATED TO THIS OFFERING

When evaluating the non-public issuance of A shares, investors shall, in addition to other information provided in the plan, take the following risk factors into account:

  1. Market risk

1. The risks resulting from macroeconomic changes

The main business of the Company is strongly dependent on the national industrial policy and the scale of environmental investment. The reform and adjustment of national industrial policies, fiscal and taxation policies, monetary policies and other macroeconomic policies will have a great impact on the supply and demand of the whole market and the business activities of enterprises.

The Company's projects have a long payback period. In view of the cyclical changes in national economic growth and the differences in specific conditions of different regions, the timing and intensity of water price adjustment are also uncertain, resulting in certain policy risks for the Company's projects and profits.

2. The risks resulting from the slowdown of water sector market growth

During the period of the 13th Five-Year Plan, the discharge of urban sewage, the number of sewage treatment plants and the capacity of sewage treatment increased year by year, but the growth rate decreased. At present, the urban sewage treatment industry has entered the mature stage and the market becomes saturated. "Modification based on improved standards" will become the main source of demand for urban domestic sewage treatment industry. As the state pays more attention to rural environmental governance, the scale of rural water treatment market will gradually expand. However, the main revenue of the Company comes from the business in urban areas. The shrinking of urban business increment and the intensification of market competition may have a certain impact on the expansion and development of the Company's water business.

- A-41 -

3. Market segmentation risks

For a long time, China's water industry was characterized by strong local monopoly, small scale and relatively simple property right structure. Local sewage treatment and waterworks were basically invested and operated by local governments, forming a regional monopoly market. Therefore, when the Company carries out the business of sewage treatment and tap water supply in other places, it is more likely to be restricted by the low marketization degree and the strict government control, thus affecting its future strategic deployment.

  1. Business and operation risks

1. The risks resulting from increasingly stringent laws and regulations

With the introduction of the new Environmental Protection Law and the Ten- measure Action Plan to Tackle Water Pollution, standards in the environmental governance field have become stricter. The newly issued standards set higher requirements on the Company's professional and technical ability, process selection ability, timely response to the changes in inlet water quality and other capabilities. In order to meet the corresponding effluent standard, the Company may face the risk of increasing investment in scientific research and technical equipment renovation.

2. Government credit risks

Currently, the issuer mainly adopts franchise operation mode for its sewage treatment business, tap water supply business and cooling and heating business, and specifies the relevant rights and obligations by signing franchise agreement with relevant units. Although the other units that sign the franchise agreement with the issuer are all local government departments with good credit level, if there is any breach to franchise agreement of the issuer's main operating projects, it will still have an adverse impact on its operating conditions.

3. The risk of expiry of the franchise term

Currently, most of the urban sewage treatment and tap water supply projects invested by the Company are operated by franchise, and the franchise term of each project is generally from 25 to 30 years. Although it is stipulated in the franchise agreement signed with local governments that, when the local government chooses the franchiser again after the expiration of the franchise, it shall give priority to the Company under the same conditions, there still exists the risk that the Company will not be granted the franchise again upon expiry of the franchise term.

- A-42 -

4. The risks resulting from COVID-19

Since the beginning of 2020, the COVID-19 epidemic and its prevention and control measures in China and around the world have had a significant negative impact on the national economy, as well as the market development, investment, construction and operation of the Company's environmental protection projects. If the epidemic outside China cannot be controlled or the epidemic prevention and control in China is repeated, it will have a further impact on the macro economy and thus adversely affect the Company's business development.

5. The risk that synergies with strategic investors cannot be fully exploited

The company is a listed environmental protection and water utility company with leading scale and efficiency in China. It has strong synergies with the strategic investors to be introduced in this offering in terms of business development and has established a long-term strategic partnership with them. Although the Company has signed the Conditional Agreement for Introduction of Strategic Investors and Subscription of Shares Offered through Non-public Issuance and Supplemental Agreement with the strategic investors to agree on the future cooperation areas, cooperation methods and cooperation objectives, there still exists the risk that the synergies cannot be fully exerted and the expected objectives of this strategic cooperation cannot be achieved.

  1. Financial risks

1. Insolvency risk

As of the end of 2020, the Company had a high asset-liability ratio of 59.68%. In addition, with the gradual expansion of the investment scale, the Company's demand for capital will increase accordingly, and it may increase debt financing in the future. If the amount and progress of this offering are not as good as expected, or the investment project does not produce good benefits as expected, financial risks such as failure to repay principal and interest may occur.

2. The risk of return on equity and earnings per share being diluted in the short term

After the completion of this non-public issuance, the Company's share capital and net assets will grow significantly, but its net profit may not grow in sync with the share capital and net assets, resulting in the risk of dilution of the earnings per share and return on equity.

(IV) Management risk

With the continuous expansion of business and scale, the Company will face severe challenges in management mode, talent reserve, technological innovation and market development. Although the Company has formed a relatively complete set of internal control management system and improved year by year, due to the differences in the geographical distribution, cultural characteristics and corporate culture of each branch, management and control risks may be generated. With the expansion of business scale, if the Company's management level and talent reserve cannot meet the needs of the rapid expansion of its business scale and the organizational model and management model fail to be adjusted and improved in a timely manner with the expansion of the Company's scale, it will be difficult to ensure the Company's safe and efficient operation, which makes the Company at risk.

- A-43 -

  1. Policy risks

1. The risk of changes in water pricing policy

Currently, the price of urban water supply is determined by the government after the relevant necessary hearing procedures are carried out, and subject to the supervision of the masses. Sewage charges are also set by government departments. In recent years, the state has intensified efforts to reform water prices. The Measures for the Price Management of Water Supply in Water Conservancy Projects, the Notice on Promoting the Reform of Water Price, Promoting Water Conservation and Protecting Water Resources, and the Notice on Issues Related to the Management of Urban Water Supply prices were issued successively. In 2013, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development issued the Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Establishment and Improvement of the Tiered Water Price System for Urban Residents (NDRC Price [2013] No. 2676), with an aim to accelerate the establishment and improvement of the tiered water price system for urban residents. The impact of the implementation of relevant policies on the operation of the issuer is uncertain, and the performance of the Company may be adversely affected.

2. Risk of industry technical standard adjustment

The new Environmental Protection Law was formally implemented on January 1, 2015. With the introduction of a series of environmental administrative regulations, standards in the environmental governance field have become stricter. In this context, the adjustment of technical standards in related industries may cause the Company's effluent discharge to be below the standard, which will adversely impact the Company's performance.

(VI) Other risks

shareholders' equity and immediate return, and proposed mitigation and remediation measures based on the actual situations, while the relevant parties have made commitments to ensure the fulfillment of the mitigation and remediation measures, details of which are as follows:

  1. IMPACT OF DILUTION OF CURRENT RETURN RESULTING FROM THE NON-PUBLIC ISSUANCE ON THE KEY FINANCIAL INDEXES OF THE COMPANY
  1. Calculation assumptions
    1. It is assumed that there are no major adverse changes in the macroeconomic environment and conditions of the stock market as well as the operating environment of the Company.
    2. It is assumed that the Non-public Issuance is expected to be completed in June 30, 2021, for which it is only an assumption, and does not constitute a commitment to the actual completion date. Investors should not make investment decisions based on this assumptive completion date, otherwise, the Company shall be held no liable for any losses arising from such investment;
    3. The number of shares under this Non-public Issuance is 215,827,338 (which is an estimate and subject to the number approved by the CSRC and actually issued); the total proceeds from this Non-public Issue of A shares is RMB1,200.00 million, without considering the impact of deducting the issue expenses.
    4. It is assumed that except for the Non-public Issuance, there will be no other circumstances that will cause changes to the Company's share capital in 2021.
    5. It is assumed that the influence on the business operation and financial position of the Company (such as operating revenue, financial expense, investment income, etc.) upon receipt of the proceeds from the Non-public Issuance is not taken into account;

6.

The net profit of the Company for 2021 will be calculated based on the following

3 circumstances (which are not indicative of the judgment of the Company on its

operating conditions and trends for 2021 and does not constitute a profit forecast of the

Company):

Scenario 2: assuming that the net profit attributable to the shareholders of the listed company for 2021 is 10% higher than that for 2020;

- A-55 -

    The above assumptions and the calculation on the impact of the immediate return dilution influence of the Non-public Issuance of A shares on the Company's key financial indexes do not represent the Company's judgment on its operating conditions and trends for 2021 and do not constitute a profit forecast of the Company. Investors should not make investment decisions in reliance thereon. If investors make investment decision based on this assumption analysis and suffer loss, the Company shall not be liable.

  1. SPECIAL RISK REMINDER FOR DILUTION OF CURRENT RETURN RESULTING FROM THE NON-PUBLIC ISSUANCE
    After the completion of the Non-public Issuance, the Company's total share capital and net assets will increase in size, and the use of proceeds raised and the relevant benefits delivery will take a certain period. With the increase in the Company's total share capital and net assets, there will be a dilution risk on the Company's immediate returns for the year after the completion of the Non-public Issuance if the Company's profits do not increase correspondingly. In addition, once the assumptions of the aforementioned analysis or the Company's operating conditions have changed significantly, the immediate return dilution resulting from the Non-public Issuance may change.

The investors are specifically reminded to make rational investments, and be alert of the risk that the Non-public Issuance may dilute the immediate return.

  1. NECESSITY AND RATIONALITY OF THE NON-PUBLIC ISSUANCE
    For the necessity and rationality of the Non-public Issuance, please refer to "Chapter 5 Discussion and Analysis of the Board of Directors on the Impact of the Non-public Issuance on the Company" in this plan.

IV. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PROJECTS FUNDED BY THE PROCEEDS RAISED AND THE EXISTING BUSINESSES OF THE COMPANY, AS WELL AS THE TALENT, TECHNOLOGY AND MARKET RESERVE OF THE COMPANY FOR SUCH PROJECTS

The proceeds raised by the Company from the Non-public Issuance, after deducting the relevant issuance costs, will be used to repay the interest-bearing debts and replenish working capital, which will help the Company expand its business scale, increase market share, and enhance its risk resistance capacity, thereby further improving its profitability and core competitiveness.

Upon the completion of the non-public issuance of A shares, the Company's business scope remains unchanged.

  1. THE MEASURES AND COMMITMENTS OF THE COMPANY WITH RESPECT TO DILUTION OF CURRENT RETURN RESULTING FROM THE NON-PUBLIC ISSUANCE
