GCL New Energy New GCL See the last page for disclaimer Page 1 of 6 [Table_PageHeader]GCL New Energy (00451 HK) The potential takeover by China Huaneng Group was officially called off in November 2019 and was replaced with a cooperation framework agreement. GCL Poly Energy, the parent of the Company, and] 1 GCLr a NewM t Energyh g i (“R GNE_ ”e orl theb a T [ Company) jointly announced in early June 2019 that a wholly owned subsidiary of GCL Poly Energy had entered into a cooperation intent agreement with China Huaneng Group, one of the largest energy conglomerates in China, in relation to the 9 potential sale of 9.73 billion ordinary shares of GNE, representing approximately 51.0% of the entire issued share capital of 201 GNE. However, after few months of due diligence and discussion, the potential takeover by China Huaneng Group was officially called off on 18th November 2019. GCL Group (i.e. GCL Poly and GCL New Energy) and China Huaneng Group mutually December agreed to terminate the cooperation intent agreement signed on 3rd June 2019 due to failure to enter into a formal agreement 19 regarding the potential takeover after several rounds of friendly negotiations. As such, the offer period was officially ended. Immediately after the termination of the cooperation intent agreement, GNE and China Huaneng entered into a cooperation framework agreement on 18th November 2019 regarding GNE's disposal of certain solar power plants in the PRC or certain project companies of GNE that operate power plants to China Huaneng or its subsidiaries. As China Huaneng Group decided to adjust the transaction structure to acquire the PRC assets of GNE, China Huaneng and GNE proceeded to pursue the possible transactions contemplated under the cooperation framework agreement. We believe that terminating the potential takeover (majority stake) of GNEand acquiring only certain assets from GNE is to avoid having too much indebtedness transferred from GNE to China Huaneng. As of the moment, we are uncertain in regards to the consideration of the transaction and the scale of the solar assets that China Huaneng will acquire from GNE. More details regarding the cooperation framework agreement will be needed for further analysis. All in all, we believe the assets disposal to contribute] 2 r ina M termst h ofg noni R -operating_ e l b a T [ income and deleveraging to GCL Group in 2019, which may somehow mitigate the operating pressure of GCL Group as a result of the plunging solar materials price in both 2018 and 2019. However, on the part of GNE, carving out high quality assets and leaving the indebtedness on the platform may further undermine the Company’s already weak profitability brought by its high gearing and expensive cost of debt. High gearing and high cost of debt are key causes of GNE’s low margins. Newly installed solar capacity in the domestic market is expected to fall substantially in 2019 as a result of solar tariff subsidy reduction. According to NEA of China, newly installed solar capacity in the first 9 months of 2019 reached 15.99 GW, down YoY by 53.7%. In which, concentrated solar projects contributed 7.73 GW of new installations, while distributed solar projects added 8.26 GW during the period. As at the end of 9M2019, nationwide cumulative installed solar capacity hit 190.19 (00451 HK) GW, up YoY by 15.2%. Concentrated solar projects and distributed solar projects made up 131.49 GW and 58.7 GW, respectively, of total installed solar capacity by the end of September 2019. Given that only less than 20 GW of new solar capacity was added in the first 3 quarters of 2019, we estimate the total new solar installations in 2019 to be between 20 GW and 30 GW, with the latter being our best case scenario projection. Despite a sharp decline in new installations in the China 协鑫新能源 market in 2019, we expect global new solar installations in 2019 to reach approximately 120 GW, implying YoY growth of 18%, as a result of stronger-than-expected overseas market solar installations. We expect the overseas market to contribute approximately 90 GW of new solar capacity in 2019, up YoY by 55.2% from 58 GW installed in 2018. Our aggressive overseas market new solar installation projection was based on solar module export figures. It is important to note that China exported an aggregate of 57.3GW of solar modules to overseas markets in the first 10 months of 2019, up YoY by 53.2%. Solar materials GCL New Energy demand from overseas markets may continue to surprise as a result of rising popularity and overall competitiveness of solar energy among different power sources. Rising module efficiency and rapidly falling solar materials price are key reasons behind the surging solar energy investment internationally. Domestically, we expect new solar installations in China to remain low onwards as a result of tariff subsidy reduction, which has substantially reduced the investment return of new solar projects.

Coal is the primary source of electricity generation in China. The total installed capacity of renewable energy (including hydropower) in China is more than 728 GW. At the end of 2018, China’s power sector continued to be dominated by large state-owned companies. Source: China Energy Portal The country’s grid is owned and operated primarily by the state-owned State Grid Corporation of China (which supplies power to 88 percent of the country), while China Southern Grid, also state-owned, accounts for most of the remainder. A handful of large state-owned power generation companies are responsible for generating most electricity, including the so-called “big five” – China Datang Corporation, China Guodian Corporation, China Huadian Group, China Huaneng Group, and China Power Investment Corporation – that account for 47 percent of power capacity. In 2016, the 13th Five-Year Plan targeted 2,000 GW of capacity to be installed by The world’s biggest energy 2020 – a nearly 20 percent increase from consumer is aiming for renewables the current capacity – and a 15 percent to account for at least 35 percent increase in the share of non-fossil fuel of electricity consumption by 2030, energy. Based on this five-year plan, according to a revised draft plan China aims to achieve 6.5 percent annual from the National Development & average growth in their GDP from 2016- Reform Commission (NDRC).
