III. OTHER INFORMATION REGARDING THE PROPOSED ISSUANCE OF A SHARE CONVERTIBLE BONDS AND POSSIBLE SUBSCRIPTION FOR A SHARE CONVERTIBLE BONDS

1. Implications on the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds and the Possible Subscription for A Share Convertible Bonds under the PRC Regulatory Requirements

The A Share Convertible Bonds to be issued by the Company may lead to the issuance of new A Shares upon the exercise of the conversion rights of the A Share Convertible Bonds, the actual number of which depends on a number of factors, including the conversion price of the A Share Convertible Bonds. The Board considers that the conversion of A Share Convertible Bonds into new A Shares will increase the total amount of the Company’s share capital and have a dilutive impact on the capital return and earnings per Share of the Company to a certain extent.

– 10 – LETTER FROM THE BOARD

According to the Articles of Association and the relevant laws and regulations in the PRC, the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds shall be subject to, among others, the Shareholders’ approval at the EGM and the approvals from relevant PRC regulatory authorities.

Accordingly, the Possible Subscription for A Share Convertible Bonds will constitute a connected transaction under Chapter 14A of the Hong Kong Listing Rules and be subject to the requirements of reporting, announcement and the Independent Shareholders’ approval. All existing A Shareholders are entitled to pre-emptive rights to subscribe for A Share Convertible Bonds on a pro rata basis. No Shareholders can enjoy any privilege in the capacity of connected persons of the Company.

Since Mr. MENG Fengchao and Mr. ZHUANG Shangbiao, the Directors, take office in CRCCG at the same time, they have abstained from voting on the approval of the above Board resolution.

The Board expects that the Company will maintain sufficient public float to meet the applicable minimum requirement under the Hong Kong Listing Rules. Please refer to the table set out in paragraph 4 below for details.

Please see the announcement of the Company dated 8 December 2016 for details of the issuance of above-mentioned convertible bonds. Details of the use of proceeds are set out in Appendix V of this circular.

– 11 – LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Save for the above mentioned, the Company has not conducted any equity fund-raising activities in the 12 months immediately prior to the Latest Practicable Date.

4. Effects on the Shareholding Structure of the Company

Under the A Share Convertible Bond Issuance Plan, the minimum initial conversion price of A Share Convertible Bonds shall not be lower than (i) the average trading price of A Shares for the 20 trading days preceding the date of publication of the offering announcement (in the event that during such 20 trading days, the share price has been adjusted due to ex-rights or ex-dividend, the transaction price of such trading days before adjustment shall be adjusted with reference to the adjusted share price following the ex-rights or ex-dividend events); (ii) the average trading price of A Shares on the trading day preceding the date of the offering announcement; and (iii) the latest audited net asset value per Share and the nominal value per Share. The actual initial conversion price shall be determined by the Board and its authorized persons upon negotiation with the sponsor (lead underwriter) in accordance with the market conditions, which is subject to the authorization by the Shareholders at the EGM. The above has compiled with the principle of determining initial conversion price required by the relevant laws and regulations in the PRC.

For reference only and to illustrate the pricing mechanism, assuming the initial conversion price is being determined on the Latest Practicable Date, according to the pricing mechanism described above, the average trading price of A Shares for 20 trading days preceding the Latest Practicable Date is RMB12.03, the average trading price of A Shares for the trading day preceding the Latest Practicable Date is RMB11.75, and the latest audited net asset value per Share (i.e. the audited net asset value per Share as of 31 December 2016) is RMB9.05. Accordingly, the minimum initial conversion price as at the Latest Practicable Date is RMB12.03 per Share, of which it is the highest of RMB12.03 per Share, RMB11.75 per Share and RMB9.05 per Share. For the avoidance of doubt, the actual initial conversion price will be determined by the Board and its authorized persons before the issuance, and the minimum initial conversion price as at the Latest Practicable Date is the theoretical price determined on the basis of pricing mechanism, for illustrative purpose only. Using the minimum initial conversion price of RMB12.03, and considering that the total issuance size of A Share Convertible Bonds will not be more than RMB10 billion, the maximum amount of A Shares to be converted is 0.831 billion A Shares.

5. Reasons for and Benefits of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds and the Possible Subscription for A Share Convertible Bonds

The Directors consider that the Company will be able to further expand the net asset value, strengthen its risk resilience and consolidate its capital capacity for sustainable development of various business segments after the completion of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds (including the Possible Subscription for A Share Convertible Bonds by CRCCG), which is beneficial to the Company for building its core competitiveness and achieving strategic objectives.

In recent years, the development of the Company’s businesses has maintained rapid growth with sufficient business reserves and increasing number of transactions. Further development of the Company’s businesses and the increase in financial demand and gearing ratio have resulted in the increase in the debt financing costs, which is not conducive to the future development of the Company. Therefore, the Company shall improve its capital structure by way of equity financing such as issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds.

As a financing instrument combining characteristics of both shares and bonds, convertible bonds have longer conversion period and are more acceptable to investors and better meet market demands, hence a realistic choice for the Company to replenish its capital. In addition, investors are better able to benefit from their investments in convertible bonds than other equity financing instruments because the investors have higher flexibility to control the timing of conversion and profit from the investment when share prices rise above the conversion price, increasing the marketability of the convertible bonds to investors than other equity financing instruments.

After the conversion of convertible bonds, the Company will further decrease its gearing ratio, improve capital structure, strengthen the operational efficiency of capital, efficiently mitigate the burden of financial cost and further maximize its growth potential. At the same time, the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds will also help the Company raise funds to support its principal business (primarily infrastructure investment projects), so as to strengthen the Company’s overall efficiency and profitability.

In addition, the Possible Subscription for A Share Convertible Bonds by CRCCG has also demonstrated CRCCG’s confidence towards the Company and the support for the Company’s business development, which is beneficial to the Company in enhancing its market image and maintain the share price of the Company at a stable level.

– 14 – LETTER FROM THE BOARD

6. Internal Control Measures

To ensure all members of the Board, including the non-executive Director and independent non-executive Directors who do not have any connected relationship with CRCCG, to promptly know the specific terms of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds, the Board and its authorized persons will report to them upon negotiation with the sponsor and the lead underwriter in relation to the terms of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds, including but not limited to the conversion price, interest rate, terms of redemption upon maturity and maturity date. The Company will implement the A Share Convertible Bond Issuance Plan upon the approval of other members of the Board.

7. Regulatory Procedures Regarding the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds

CRCCG shall obtain the approval of SASAC before the EGM. At the same time, the A Share Convertible Bond Issuance Plan and its supporting documents will be submitted to CSRC for review and approval after the approval on the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds at the EGM.

After obtaining all approvals from relevant regulatory authorities in the PRC, the Company will issue A Share Convertible Bonds subject to the market window.

Within the 6 months effective period approved by CSRC, the Board will discuss and determine the detailed terms of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds with the sponsor and lead underwriters, including conversion price and the number of bonds to be subscribed by the existing A Shareholders. The Company will publish an announcement immediately following the issuance. If CRCCG exercises its pre-emptive rights to subscribe for any A Share Convertible Bonds described under section headed “9. Possible Subscription for A Share Convertible Bonds by CRCCG” of section 2 of this letter in its capacity as the existing A Shareholders of the Company, the Company will fully comply with the applicable disclosure requirements for the announcement on connected transactions under Chapter 14A of the Hong Kong Listing Rules.

The A Share Convertible Bond Issuance Plan shall be valid for 12 months from the date on which the resolutions are approved at the EGM. In the event that the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds has not been completed within 12 months after such date, the Company will resubmit the resolutions to the general meeting for consideration and approval in respect of the new validity term of the A Share Convertible Bond Issuance Plan and authorization period, which shall be a 12 months period after the approval at such general meeting.

To: The Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders of China Railway Construction Corporation Limited

Dear Sirs,

CONNECTED TRANSACTION: POSSIBLE SUBSCRIPTION FOR A SHARE CONVERTIBLE BONDS BY CRCCG

INTRODUCTION

We refer to our appointment as the independent financial adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in relation to the Possible Subscription for A Share Convertible Bonds by CRCCG. Details of the A Share Convertible Bond Issuance Plan are set out in the circular issued by the Company to the Shareholders dated 25 November 2017 (the “Circular”), of which this letter forms part. Unless the context otherwise requires, capitalised terms used in this letter shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Circular.

Pursuant to the General Mandate granted to the Board to issue new Shares at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 15 June 2017, the issuance of each of the A Shares and/or H Shares of the Company shall not exceed 20% of the number of the respective A Shares and/or H Shares as at the date on which the relevant resolutions were approved. The Board proposes to issue A Share Convertible Bonds under the aforesaid General Mandate with a total amount not exceeding RMB10 billion.

– 20 – LETTER FROM SOMERLEY

All existing A Share Shareholders are entitled to pre-emptive rights to subscribe for the A Share Convertible Bonds to be issued on a pro rata basis. It will be proposed at the EGM to authorise the Board and its authorised persons to determine the actual amount to be preferentially allocated in accordance with the market conditions before the issuance, and shall be disclosed in the offering document of the A Share Convertible Bonds. CRCCG, as an A Share Shareholder, is accordingly entitled to the pre-emptive rights to subscribe for A Share Convertible Bonds under the A Share Convertible Bond Issuance Plan in proportion to its shareholding percentage of A Shares. Based on the maximum issuance size of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds (i.e. RMB10 billion) and the shareholding percentage of CRCCG in the A Shares of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date (i.e. approximately 65.78%), the maximum subscription amount under the Possible Subscription for A Share Convertible Bonds by CRCCG shall be approximately RMB6.578 billion.

CRCCG is the controlling shareholder of the Company holding approximately 55.73% equity interest of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date. It is therefore a connected person of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Hong Kong Listing Rules. As such, the Possible Subscription for A Share Convertible Bonds by CRCCG constitutes a connected transaction for the Company and is subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and Independent Shareholders’ approval requirements under the Hong Kong Listing Rules.

The Independent Board Committee comprising all the independent non-executive Directors, namely Mr. Wang Huacheng, Mr. Patrick Sun, Mr. Cheng Wen and Ms. Amanda Xiao Qiang Lu, has been established to advise the Independent Shareholders on the terms of the Possible Subscription for A Share Convertible Bonds by CRCCG and to make a recommendation as to voting. We, Somerley Capital Limited, have been appointed as the independent financial adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in the same regard.

We are not associated with the Company, CRCCG or their respective core connected persons, close associates or associates and accordingly are considered eligible to give independent advice on the above matters. Apart from normal professional fees payable to us in connection with this or similar appointments, no arrangement exists whereby we will receive any fees or benefits from the Company, CRCCG or their respective core connected persons, close associates or associates.

In formulating our opinion, we have reviewed, among other things, the proposal in relation to the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds, the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2017 (the “2017 Interim Report”), the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2016 (the “2016 Annual Report”), the announcement of the Company in relation to the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds and the Possible Subscription for A Share Convertible Bonds by CRCCG dated 6 November 2017 (the “Announcement”) and the information as set out in the Circular. We have discussed with the management of the Group regarding the use of proceeds raised from the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds.

The Group’s principal business includes primarily construction of infrastructure, provision of survey, design and consultancy services, provision of logistics services, industrial manufacturing and real estate development. The infrastructure construction operation segment is the major contributor to the Group’s revenue and profits. The infrastructure construction operation includes infrastructure construction of railways, highways, metropolitan railways and real estate projects. The infrastructure construction operation is the core business segment of the Group, accounting for more than 80% of the total revenue for the year ended 31 December 2016 and for the six months ended 30 June 2017. The survey, design and consultancy services segment engages in the provision of survey, design and consultancy services, as well as technology and equipment research and development services.

The revenue growth over the two-and-a-half-year period was mainly attributable to the rise in revenue from the infrastructure construction operation segment, which was brought up by the general increase in investment on rail transit and highway in China and the favourable changes in the investment and financing mechanism of the infrastructure market.

3. Reasons for and benefits of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds and the Proposed Subscription of A Share Convertible Bonds by CRCCG

(a) Reasons for and benefits of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds

As set out in the letter from the Board in the Circular, the Directors consider that after the completion of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds (including the Possible Subscription for A Share Convertible Bonds by CRCCG), the Company will be able to further expand its net asset value, strengthen its risk resilience and consolidate its capital capacity for sustainable development of various business segments, which is beneficial to the Company for building its core competitiveness and achieving strategic objectives. Also, in recent years, the development of the Company’s businesses has maintained rapid growth with sufficient business reserves and increasing number of transactions. Further development of the Company’s businesses and the increase in financial demand and gearing ratio have resulted in the increase in the debt financing costs, which is not conducive to the future development of the Company. Therefore, the Company shall improve its capital structure by way of equity financing such as issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds.

– 26 – LETTER FROM SOMERLEY

The Group has identified a number of favourable factors which could foster the demand for the infrastructure construction business of the Group. Details of these factors are set out in the section headed “III. Necessity and rationality of the issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds” in Appendix III to the Circular. Also, as set out in section headed “I. Plan on the use of proceeds” in Appendix IV to the Circular, three infrastructure investment projects with a total contract amount of approximately RMB47.2 billion have been awarded to the Group. It is currently expected that the entire proceeds from the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds will be applied to these projects. With the rapid increase in value of new contracts entered into and already undertaken by the Group and the objective to capture the opportunities brought by the increasing demand for infrastructure construction business of the Group, it is expected that additional funding is required to cope with the financing requirements of these infrastructure construction projects.

The Possible Subscription for A Share Convertible Bonds by CRCCG also demonstrates the confidence of CRCCG towards the Company and its support to the development of the Company’s business, which is conducive to enhancing the market image of the Company and stabilising the trading price of shares of the Company.

Further details of the reasons for and benefits of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds are set out in the section headed “5. Reasons for and benefits of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds and the Possible Subscription of A Share Convertible Bonds” in the letter from the Board in the Circular and the section headed “III. Necessity and rationality of the issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds” in Appendix III to the Circular.

Having considered the above, we concur with the management of the Group to leverage on favourable market conditions and the Company’s expertise to expand the business scale and lay solid foundation for the long-term business development of the Group and to obtain additional funding to cope with the expansion of business.

As set out in Appendix III to the Circular, the net proceeds of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds is intended to be used for (i) as to RMB5.0 billion in investment in construction project of phase I and II of Metro Line 6 of Chengdu; (ii) as to RMB3.6 billion in investment in Deyang-Dujiangyan Section of G0511 Expressway Project; and (iii) as to RMB1.4 billion in investment in Deyang-Jianyang Section of the Chengdu Economic Zone Ring Expressway Project.

As noted above, despite the Group possessed cash and bank balances of approximately RMB111.2 billion as at 30 June 2017, we were advised by the management of the Group that the cash of the Group has been substantially committed to support its daily production and operation. In addition, the Group recorded net cash used in operating activities and investing activities for the six months ended 30 June 2017 of approximately RMB25.5 billion and RMB16.8 billion respectively. Furthermore, there were approximately RMB83.3 billion of loans and bank borrowings and bills payable which were due within one year as at 30 June 2017. Having considered: (i) the cash needed to sustain the Group’s existing operation and investment projects, including the significant growth in the value of new contracts entered into by the Group; and (ii) the intention to enter into new investment projects and construction projects, it is considered reasonable to obtain additional funding to finance the Group’s future development.

(c) Financing alternatives

As advised by the management of the Group, apart from the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds, they have explored various fund raising alternatives.

Fund raising by way of new share placement will create immediate dilution on the existing Shareholders. It is also common that the investors will request for a discount of the new share placement price to the prevailing market price of the Shares, whereas the initial conversion price of the A Share Convertible Bonds (to be determined based on the pricing formula under the A Share Convertible Bond Issuance Plan) is expected to be a significant premium (based on the A Share price as at the Latest Practicable Date) over the prevailing market price of the H Shares. Fund raising through rights issue or open offer has similar issue as new share placement and it may also attract a higher transaction cost (such as underwriting and other fees) and dilution effect on those non-participating Shareholders will usually be greater as compared to new share placement and issue of convertibles.

– 28 – LETTER FROM SOMERLEY

Debt financing by bank loan and other borrowings are possible but they will usually incur higher interest expense as compared to convertible bonds given the potential upside offered by convertible bonds.

Issuing H Shares convertibles has also been explored but it was considered less desirable given (i) the prevailing market price of H Shares has been substantially lower than that of A Shares; and (ii) the intended use of proceeds of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds is investing in projects in the PRC which are denominated in RMB.

4. Principal terms of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds

Set out below are the principal terms of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds:

(i) Type of securities to be issued

The type of the securities to be issued is convertible bonds which can be converted into the A Shares. The A Share Convertible Bonds and the A Shares to be converted will be listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

(ii) Type of issuance

The total amount of the A Share Convertible Bonds proposed to be issued will not exceed RMB10.0 billion (inclusive). The actual size of the issuance shall be determined by the Board and its authorised persons within the above range, subject to the authorisation by the Shareholders at the EGM.

(iii) Par value and issue price

A Share Convertible Bonds will be issued at par with a nominal value of RMB100 each.

(iv) Term

The term of A Share Convertible Bonds will be six years from the date of the issuance.

(v) Interest rate

The Board proposes to the Shareholders at the EGM to authorise the Board and its authorised persons to determine the method for determination of coupon rate and the final interest rate for the interest accrual year upon negotiation with the sponsor and the lead underwriter in accordance with national policies, market conditions and the actual conditions of the Company, prior to the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds.

– 29 – LETTER FROM SOMERLEY

To ensure other members of the Board, namely the non-executive Director and independent non-executive Directors who do not have any connected relationship with CRCCG, to promptly know the specific terms of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds, the Board and its authorised persons will report to them upon negotiation with the sponsor and the lead underwriter in relation to the terms of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds, including but not limited to the conversion price, interest rate, terms of redemption upon maturity and maturity date. The Company will implement the A Share Convertible Bond Issuance Plan upon the approval of other members of the Board (collectively, the “Internal Control Measures”).

(vi) Timing and method of interest payment

A. Basis for determining the initial conversion price

The initial conversion price of the A Share Convertible Bonds shall not be lower than:

Since the beginning of 2017 and prior to the announcement of the Company’s annual results for the year ended 31 December 2016, the A Share price closed within the range of RMB11.71 and RMB13.64. Following the announcements of the annual results for the year ended 31 December 2016 and major operating information for the first quarter of 2017 on 30 March 2017 and 13 April 2017, respectively, the A Share price demonstrated an upward trend, reaching its peak A Share price during the Pre-Announcement Period at RMB14.19 on 21 April 2017. After that, the A Share price oscillated downward and closed around the Indicative Initial Conversion Price of approximately RMB12.03. During the Pre-Announcement Period, the closing prices of the A Share ranged from RMB11.54 to RMB14.19 with an average and a median of RMB12.50 and RMB12.33 respectively.

As for the H Shares, during the Pre-Announcement Period, the closing prices of the H Shares ranged from HK$9.54 to HK$11.82 with an average and a median of HK$10.57 and HK$10.46 respectively. The Indicative Initial Conversation Price is substantially higher than closing prices of the H Shares throughout the Pre-Announcement Period.

– 33 – LETTER FROM SOMERLEY

B. Adjustments to the conversion price

The conversion price is subject to adjustment upon the issuance in case of certain events which affect the share capital of the Company and lead to distribution of cash dividends, such as distribution of share dividends, capitalisation, issuance of new shares or rights issue (excluding any increase in the share capital as a result of conversion of the A Share Convertible Bonds). The Company will adjust the conversion price based on the following formula:

Distribution of share dividends or capitalisation: P1 = P0 /(1 + n);

Issuance of new shares or rights issue: P1 = (P0 + A×k)/(1 + k);

The above two events occurring concurrently: P1 = (P0 + A×k)/(1 + n + k);

Distribution of cash dividends: P1 = P0 – D;

The above three events occurring concurrently: P1 = (P0 – D + A×k)/(1 + n + k).

Where:

“P0” denotes the conversion price before adjustment; “n” denotes the rate of distribution of share dividends or capitalisation; “k” denotes the rate of issuance of new shares or rights issue; “A” denotes the price of issuance of new shares or rights issue; “D” denotes the cash dividend per share;

“P1” denotes the adjusted conversion price.

– 34 – LETTER FROM SOMERLEY

Upon the occurrence of any of the above-mentioned changes in Shares and/or Shareholder’s interests, the Company will adjust the conversion price in accordance with the methods determined, and publish an announcement in relation to the adjustment of the conversion price on the media designated by CSRC for information disclosure of listed companies. Such announcement will indicate the date of adjustment to the conversion price, adjustment method and suspension period of share conversion (if necessary).

In the event that the creditor’s interests or the interests derived from the share conversion of the A Share Convertible Bond Holders are affected by the change in the Company’s share class, quantity and/or Shareholders’ interests due to any possible share repurchase, consolidation, division or any other circumstances, the Company will adjust the conversion price based on the actual situations and in accordance with the principles of fairness, justice and equality so as to fully protect the interests of A Share Convertible Bond Holders. The details of adjustments to conversion price and its implementation measures shall be determined in accordance with then relevant national laws and regulations and the relevant requirements of the securities regulatory authorities.

Besides, the adjusted conversion price shall not be lower than the latest audited net asset value per Share and the nominal value per Share of the Company.

(ix) Terms of downward adjustment to conversion price

If, during the term of the A Share Convertible Bonds, the closing prices of A Shares in any 15 trading days out of any 30 consecutive trading days are lower than 80% of the prevailing conversion price, the Board is entitled to propose a downward adjustment to the conversion price and submit it to the Shareholders at the general meeting for their consideration and approval.

The above-mentioned proposals are subject to approval of more than two-thirds of the Shareholders with voting rights who attend the general meeting. Shareholders who hold the A Share Convertible Bonds should abstain from voting at the general meeting. The adjusted conversion price should be no less than the average trading price of the A Shares for 20 trading days preceding the date of the general meeting for consideration and approval of the aforementioned proposals and the average trading price of the A Shares on the trading day preceding the date of such meeting, and should be also no less than the latest audited net asset value per Share and the nominal value per Share of the Company.

– 35 – LETTER FROM SOMERLEY

(x) Entitlement to dividend in the year of conversion

The new A Shares to be issued as a result of the conversion of A Share Convertible Bonds shall rank pari passu with all the existing A Shares, and all ordinary Shareholders (including those derived from the conversion of the A Share Convertible Bonds) whose names are recorded on the register of members of the Company on the record date for dividend distribution shall be entitled to receive the dividend of that period.

(xi) Terms of redemption

A. Terms of redemption upon maturity

Within five trading days upon the maturity of A Share Convertible Bonds, the Company will redeem all the A Share Convertible Bonds from A Share Convertible Bond Holders which have not been converted into Shares by then, at a price calculated at a premium (including the interest accrued in the last interest accrual year) in addition to the nominal value of A Share Convertible Bonds. The actual premium shall be determined by the Board and its authorised persons upon negotiation with the sponsor (the lead underwriter) with reference to the market conditions before issuance, which is subject to the authorisation by the Shareholders at the EGM.

As mentioned above, the Company will adopt the Internal Control Measures in determining the term of redemption of the A Share Convertible Bonds upon maturity.

B. Terms of conditional redemption

During the conversion period of A Share Convertible Bonds, if the closing prices of A Shares during at least 15 trading days out of any 30 consecutive trading days are no less than 130% (inclusive) of the prevailing conversion price, or the total par value of the outstanding A Share Convertible Bonds is lower than RMB30 million, the Company shall have the right to redeem all or part of the outstanding A Share Convertible Bonds, at a price equal to the nominal value of A Share Convertible Bonds plus then accrued interest.

– 36 – LETTER FROM SOMERLEY

(xii) Terms of sale back

A. Terms of conditional sale back

During the last two interest accrual years within the term of the A Share Convertible Bonds, if the closing prices of the A Shares on any 30 consecutive trading days are lower than 70% of the prevailing conversion price, the A Share Convertible Bond Holders are entitled to sell back all or part of the A Share Convertible Bonds they hold to the Company at par plus the then accrued interest.

The A Share Convertible Bond Holders can exercise their sale back rights once every year when the sale back conditions are initially satisfied according to the above- mentioned agreed terms in the last two interest accrual years within the term of the A Share Convertible Bonds. If the sale back conditions are initially satisfied, but the A Share Convertible Bond Holders do not apply for and exercise their sale back rights during the sale back declaration period then announced by the Company, they shall not exercise the sale back rights during such accrual year. The A Share Convertible Bond Holders are not allowed to exercise part of their sale back rights repeatedly.

B. Additional terms of sale back

If the actual use of the proceeds from A Share Convertible Bonds significantly differs from the undertakings of the use of proceeds set out by the Company in the offering document, and such change is deemed as a deviation in the use of proceeds pursuant to relevant rules of CSRC or is considered by CSRC as a deviation in the use of proceeds, the A Share Convertible Bond Holders will be entitled to a one-off right to sell all or part of A Share Convertible Bonds back to the Company at par plus then accrued interest. Upon the satisfaction of the additional condition of sale back, the A Share Convertible Bond Holders may sell their A Share Convertible Bonds back to the Company during the additional sale back declaration period after it is announced by the Company. If the A Share Convertible Bond Holders do not exercise their sale back rights during such period, they shall not exercise such rights later.

(xiii) Subscription arrangement for the existing Shareholders

The existing ordinary A Shareholders are entitled to the pre-emptive rights to subscribe for A Share Convertible Bonds. It will be proposed at the EGM to authorise the Board and its authorised persons to determine the actual amount to be preferentially allocated in accordance with the actual market conditions before the issuance, and shall be disclosed in the offering document of A Share Convertible Bonds.

– 37 – LETTER FROM SOMERLEY

A Share Convertible Bonds which are not subject to the preferential subscription by existing ordinary A Shareholders and are not subscribed by the existing ordinary A Shareholders within the preferential subscription will be offered to institution investors offline or issued by way of online pricing through the trading system of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and the remaining balance will be underwritten by the underwriters.

Further details of the A Share Convertible Bonds Issuance Plan are set out in Appendix I to the Circular.

5. Comparable Transactions

In assessing the fairness and reasonableness of terms of the A Share Convertible Bond Issuance Plan, we have compared the terms of the A Share Convertible Bond Issuance Plan against those of similar A share convertible bonds issues proposed by companies listed on both (i) the Shanghai Stock Exchange or the stock exchange; and (ii) the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (the “Comparable Transactions”) from 1 January 2014 up to the Latest Practicable Date.

– 42 – LETTER FROM SOMERLEY

As set out above, similar to the A Share Convertible Bond Issuance Plan, certain terms of the Comparable Transactions, such as initial conversion price and interest rates, were not fixed and would be determined subsequently at the time of publication of offering document, subject to the then market conditions. A number of terms, including downward adjustment to the conversion price, redemption upon maturity and terms of sale back, of the A Share Convertible Bond Issuance Plan may be slightly different from but are no less favourable than those of the Comparable Transactions in general. In view of the above, the terms of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds are considered in line with the general market terms of the Comparable Transactions.

6. Financial effects of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds on the Group

(a) Earnings

As set out in the paragraph headed “3(b) Use of proceeds” in this letter, the net proceeds of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds is intended to be used for three infrastructure construction projects. Therefore, subject to the results of these three projects, the utilisation of the net proceeds may provide additional earnings to the Group.

On the other hand, the Company will be required to pay interest to the A Share Convertible Bond Holders whose A Share Convertible Bonds have not been converted. The earnings of the Group will be therefore reduced by the interest expense arising from the issuance of the A Share Convertible Bonds. Furthermore, upon the conversion of the A Share Convertible Bonds, the number of the Shares outstanding will increase and this will result in dilution in earnings per Share.

Shareholders are reminded that the actual impact of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds shall be based on various factors such as the incremental earnings from utilising the net proceeds of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds in aforesaid three projects, the actual interest rate of A Share Convertible Bonds and the number of the Shares to be issued upon conversion of the A Share Convertible Bonds.

– 43 – LETTER FROM SOMERLEY

(b) NAV

Upon the issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds, as advised by the management of the Group, the A Share Convertible Bonds will be accounted for in two separate components in the Group’s balance sheet, comprising a liability component and an equity component, at initial recognition. The liability component will be determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent non-convertible bond and will be recorded as a non-current liability at initial recognition. The difference between the net proceeds from the issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds and the liability component will be recognised as the equity component and included in the Shareholders’ equity. Accordingly, there will be a positive impact on the NAV of the Group.

Shareholders are reminded that the actual amount of positive impact on the NAV of the Group shall be determined with reference to the valuation of the equity component of the A Share Convertible Bonds.

(c) Liquidity

As at 30 June 2017, the Group had cash and bank balances of approximately RMB111,186 million and net current assets (i.e. total current assets less total current liabilities) of approximately RMB128,439 million. Upon completion of the issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds, the cash and bank balances are expected to increase and the net current asset position of the Group is anticipated to improve as the A Share Convertible Bonds have a term of 6 years and a significant portion of the A Share Convertible Bonds will therefore be classified as a non-current liability.

(d) Gearing

As at 30 June 2017, the Group’s gearing ratio, being net debt divided by total capital (i.e. total equity plus net debt) was approximately 73.6%. Upon the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds, unless the entire amount of the A Share Convertible Bonds is classified as a liability, the net debt of the Group will decrease as the increase in the cash and bank balances will exceed the increase in the total debt. The total capital, which is equivalent to the total equity plus the total debt less cash and bank balances, will remain unchanged as the increase in the aggregate amount of the total equity and the total debt will be offset by the increase in cash and bank balances. Based on the above, the gearing ratio is generally expected to decrease. Nevertheless, given its maximum size of RMB10 billion, the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds is not expected to have significant impact on the gearing ratio of the Group.

7. Potential dilution effect on the shareholdings of the Independent Shareholders

As set out in the letter from the Board, by applying the Indicative Initial Conversion Price of approximately RMB12.03 per A Share and the maximum size of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds of RMB10 billion, the maximum number of A Shares to be issued will be 831,255,195. As set out in the paragraph headed “(xiii) Subscription arrangement for the existing Shareholders” in the section headed “4. Principal terms of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds”, the existing A Share Shareholders are entitled to the pre-emptive rights to subscribe for A Share Convertible Bonds to be issued, it is therefore possible for the existing A Share Shareholders to fully subscribe for the A Share Convertible Bonds.

Set out below is the shareholding structure of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date and upon completion of the issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds (assuming all the A Share Convertible Bonds are subscribed by the existing A Share Shareholders and the full conversion of the A Share Convertible Bonds into the A Shares at the Indicative Initial Conversion Price):

(ii) Immediately after completion of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds (assuming that the A Share Convertible Bonds are fully Name of converted into the A Shares at the Shareholder Class (i) As at the Latest Practicable Date Indicative Initial Conversion Price) As a percentage As a percentage Number of of total issued Number of of total issued Shares Shares Shares Shares

Total 13,579,541,500 100.00% 14,410,796,695 100.00%

As shown in the table above, the shareholding of the existing H Share public Shareholders will decrease from approximately 15.29% to approximately 14.41% immediately after completion of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds and assuming the full conversion of the A Share Convertible Bonds into the A Shares at the Indicative Initial Conversion Price, it represents a dilution by approximately 0.88%. Although the shareholding interest of the existing H Share public Shareholders will be diluted, having taken into account, among others, (i) CRCCG already has a majority control of the Company and shall remain as the single largest Shareholder; (ii) the

– 45 – LETTER FROM SOMERLEY

potential benefits to be brought forth by the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds as mentioned in the section headed “3. Reasons for and benefits of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds and the Proposed Subscription of A Share Convertible Bonds by CRCCG”; (iii) the fairness and reasonableness of the principal terms of the A Share Convertible Bond Issuance Plan; and (iv) the generally positive financial effects on the Group, we are of the opinion that the dilution effect on shareholding of the existing H Share public Shareholders to be acceptable.

DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The Group, being a leading infrastructure construction group in the PRC, operates a capital-intensive business providing various customers in all parts of the world with integrated solutions and services for infrastructure projects including survey, design and consultancy services and also real estate development. The Group has experienced continuous growth in recent years. There were a number of favourable factors fostering the demand for the infrastructure construction business of the Group. The Group plans to further expand its operation by investing in three projects with a total contracted amount of approximately RMB47.2 billion in infrastructure construction business. Such investments arouse genuine need of additional funding. The management of the Group has reviewed various financing alternatives apart from the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds. However, each of the financing alternatives has its own disadvantages as compared to the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds in the current circumstances.

The terms of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds are generally fair and reasonable to the Independent Shareholders. In particular, the initial conversion price will be determined with reference to the prevailing market price of the A Shares, which is substantially higher than that of the H Shares in the current market. While certain terms of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds, such as initial conversion price and interest rates, were not fixed as at the Latest Practicable Date and would be determined subsequently at the time of publication of offering document and subject to the then market conditions, such terms would be reviewed and approved by the Directors who are not connected with CRCCG to safeguard the interests of the Independent Shareholders.

Terms of the Comparable Transactions are generally similar to the A Share Convertible Bond Issuance Plan. A number of terms, including downward adjustment to the conversion price, redemption upon maturity and terms of sale back, of the A Share Convertible Bond Issuance Plan may be slightly different from but are no less favourable than those of the Comparable Transactions in general. In view of the above, the terms of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds are in line with the general market terms of the Comparable Transactions.

– 46 – LETTER FROM SOMERLEY

The financial effects of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds are expected to be generally positive by improving the NAV, net current asset level and gearing ratio.

The shareholding of the existing public H Share Shareholders will decrease from approximately 15.29% to approximately 14.41% immediately after completion of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds (assuming the full conversion of the A Shares Convertible Bonds into the A Shares at the Indicative Initial Conversion Price). In view of the positive factors highlighted, the dilution effect on shareholding of the existing H Share public Shareholders is considered acceptable.

OPINION AND RECOMMENDATION

Having considered the above principal factors and reasons, we consider that the Possible Subscription for A Share Convertible Bonds by CRCCG, though not in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and the terms of the Possible Subscription for A Share Convertible Bonds by CRCCG are on normal commercial terms and fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned. We therefore advise the Independent Board Committee to recommend, and we ourselves recommend, the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution to be proposed at the EGM to approve the Possible Subscription for A Share Convertible Bonds by CRCCG.

Yours faithfully, for and on behalf of SOMERLEY CAPITAL LIMITED Danny Cheng Director

– 48 – APPENDIX I PROPOSED ISSUANCE OF A SHARE CONVERTIBLE BONDS

6. TIMING AND METHOD OF INTEREST PAYMENT

The interest of A Share Convertible Bonds will be paid annually, and the principal and the interest for the final year will be paid upon maturity.

(1) Calculation of Annual Interest

Annual Interest means the interest accrued to an A Share Convertible Bond Holder in each year on each anniversary of the date of issuance of the A Share Convertible Bonds which is calculated based on the aggregate nominal value of the A Share Convertible Bonds held by him/her.

The formula for calculating the Annual Interest is: I = B×i

I: denotes the Annual Interest;

B: denotes the aggregate nominal value of the A Share Convertible Bonds held by an A Share Convertible Bond Holder as at the record date for interest payment ( “that year” or “each year”) in an interest accrual year;

i: denotes the coupon rate of the A Share Convertible Bonds of that year.

(2) Method of Interest Payment

a. Interest of the A Share Convertible Bonds will be paid annually, accruing from the date of the issuance of the A Share Convertible Bonds.

b. Interest payment date: the interest is payable annually on each anniversary of the date of issuance of the A Share Convertible Bonds. If such date falls on a statutory holiday or rest day, the interest payment date shall be postponed to the first working day immediately thereafter, provided that no additional interest will be accrued during the period of postponement. The period between an interest payment date and the immediately following interest payment date will be an interest accrual year.

c. The vesting of interest and dividend for the year of conversion shall be determined by the Board in accordance with relevant laws and regulations and the regulations of the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

– 49 – APPENDIX I PROPOSED ISSUANCE OF A SHARE CONVERTIBLE BONDS

The Company will pay the interest accrued in that year within five trading days from the interest payment date. The Company will not pay any interest for that year and subsequent interest accrual years to the A Share Convertible Bond Holders whose A Share Convertible Bonds have been applied to be converted into A Shares on or before the record date for interest payment.

e. Tax payable on the interest income of an A Share Convertible Bond Holder shall be borne by such A Share Convertible Bond Holder.

7. CONVERSION PERIOD

The conversion period of A Share Convertible Bonds shall commence on the first trading day immediately following the expiry of the six-month period after the date of issuance of the A Share Convertible Bonds and end on the maturity date of the A Share Convertible Bonds.

8. DETERMINATION AND ADJUSTMENT OF THE CONVERSION PRICE

(1) Basis for Determining the Initial Conversion Price

The initial conversion price of A Share Convertible Bonds shall not be lower than the average trading price of A Shares for the 20 trading days preceding the date of publication of the offering document (in the event that during such 20 trading days, the share price has been adjusted due to ex-rights or ex-dividend, the price of each of these trading days before adjustment shall be adjusted with reference to the adjusted share price following the ex-rights or ex-dividend events), the average trading price of A Shares on the trading day preceding the date of the offering document and the latest audited net asset value per Share and the nominal value per Share, where the average trading price of A Shares for the 20 preceding trading days = total trading amount of A Shares for such 20 trading days/total trading volume of A Shares for such 20 trading days; the average trading price of A Shares of the Company for the preceding trading day = total trading amount of A Shares for such trading day/total trading volume of A Shares for such trading day.

The actual initial conversion price shall be determined by the Board and its authorized persons upon negotiation with the sponsor and the lead underwriter in accordance with the market conditions, which is subject to the authorization by the Shareholders at the EGM.

– 50 – APPENDIX I PROPOSED ISSUANCE OF A SHARE CONVERTIBLE BONDS

(2) Method of Adjustments to the Conversion Price

The conversion price is subject to adjustment upon the issuance in case of certain events which affect the share capital of the Company and lead to distribution of cash dividends, such as distribution of share dividends, capitalization, issuance of new shares or rights issue (excluding any increase in the share capital as a result of conversion of the A Share Convertible Bonds). The Company will adjust the conversion price based on the following formula:

Distribution of share dividends or capitalization: P1 = P0/(1 + n);

Issuance of new shares or rights issue: P1 = (P0 + A×k)/(1 + k);

The above two events occurring concurrently: P1 = (P0 + A×k)/(1 + n + k);

Distribution of cash dividends: P1 = P0 – D;

The above three events occurring concurrently: P1 = (P0 – D + A×k)/(1 + n + k).

Where: “P0” denotes the conversion price before adjustment; “n” denotes the rate of distribution of share dividends or capitalization; “k” denotes the rate of issuance of new shares or rights issue; “A” denotes the price of issuance of new shares or rights issue; “D”

denotes the cash dividend per share; “P1” denotes the adjusted conversion price.

Upon occurrence of any of the above-mentioned changes in shares and/or Shareholder’s interests, the Company will adjust the conversion price in accordance with the method determined, and publish an announcement in relation to the adjustment of the conversion price on the media designated by CSRC for information disclosure of listed companies. Such announcement will indicate the date of adjustment to the conversion price, adjustment method and suspension period of share conversion (if necessary). The announcement shall also be published (if necessary) in the Hong Kong market in accordance with the Hong Kong Listing Rules and the Articles of Association. If the conversion price adjustment date is on or after the date on which an A Share Convertible Bond Holder applies for conversion of his/her A Share Convertible Bonds but before the registration date of the Shares to be issued upon conversion, then such conversion will be executed based on the conversion price adjusted by the Company.

– 51 – APPENDIX I PROPOSED ISSUANCE OF A SHARE CONVERTIBLE BONDS

In the event that the creditor’s interests or the interests derived from the share conversion of the A Share Convertible Bond Holders are affected by the change in the Company’s share class, quantity and/or Shareholders’ interests due to any possible share repurchase, consolidation, division or any other circumstances, the Company will adjust the conversion price based on the actual situations and in accordance with the principles of fairness, justice and equality so as to fully protect the interests of A Share Convertible Bond Holders. The details of adjustment to conversion price and its implementation measures shall be determined in accordance with then relevant PRC laws and regulations and the relevant requirements of the securities regulatory authorities.

Besides, the adjusted conversion price shall not be lower than the latest audited net asset value per Share and the nominal value per Share of the Company.

9. TERMS OF DOWNWARD ADJUSTMENT TO CONVERSION PRICE

(1) Authorization and Magnitude of Adjustment

If, during the term of the A Share Convertible Bonds, the closing prices of A Shares of the Company in at least 15 trading days out of any 30 consecutive trading days are lower than 80% of the prevailing conversion price, the Board of the Company is entitled to propose a downward adjustment to the conversion price and submit it to Shareholders at the general meeting for their consideration and approval.

In the event that an adjustment to the conversion price by the Company is made due to ex- rights or ex-dividend during the aforementioned trading days, in respect of the trading days prior to the adjustment to the conversion price, the calculation shall be based on the unadjusted conversion price and the closing price of the Shares on each such day, and in respect of the days on which adjustment to the conversion price is made and the trading days afterwards, the calculation shall be based on the adjusted conversion price and the closing price of the shares on each such day.

The above-mentioned proposals are subject to approvals of more than two-thirds of the Shareholders with voting rights who attend the general meeting. Shareholders who hold the A Share Convertible Bonds should abstain from voting at the general meeting. The adjusted conversion price should be no less than the average trading price of the A Shares of the Company for 20 trading days preceding the date of the general meeting for consideration and approval of the aforementioned proposals and the average trading price of the A Shares on the trading day preceding the date of such meeting, and should be also no less than the latest audited net asset value per Share and the nominal value per Share of the Company.

– 52 – APPENDIX I PROPOSED ISSUANCE OF A SHARE CONVERTIBLE BONDS

(2) Procedures of Adjustment

If a downward adjustment to the conversion price is approved at the general meeting, the Company will publish an announcement in relation to the resolutions at the general meeting on media designated by CSRC for information disclosure of listed companies. Such announcement will disclose information including the magnitude of the adjustment, the registration date of shares and the suspension period of share conversion (if necessary). The announcement shall also be published (if necessary) in the Hong Kong market in accordance with the Hong Kong Listing Rules and the Articles of Association. Application for conversion at adjusted conversion price shall be resumed upon the first trading day after the registration date, i.e. the conversion price adjustment date.

If the conversion price adjustment date is on or after the date on which an A Share Convertible Bond Holder applies for conversion of his/her A Share Convertible Bonds but before the registration date of the Shares to be issued upon conversion, then such conversion will be executed based on the adjusted conversion price.

10. METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE NUMBER OF SHARES FOR CONVERSION

Where an A Share Convertible Bond Holder applies to convert his/her A Share Convertible Bonds during the conversion period, the formula for calculating number of the Shares to be issued upon conversion is as below:

Q = V/P, any fractional Share shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

In the aforesaid formula, “V” denotes the aggregate nominal value of A Share Convertible Bonds in respect of which the A Share Convertible Bond Holder applies for conversion, and “P” denotes the prevailing conversion price as at the date of application for conversion.

Within five trading days from the date of conversion by the A Share Convertible Bond Holder, the Company will pay the A Share Convertible Bond Holder in cash an amount equal to the nominal value of the remaining balance of such A Share Convertible Bonds which are insufficient to be converted into one Share and the interest accrued on such balance in accordance with the relevant requirements of the Shanghai Stock Exchange and such other authorities (for the method of calculating then accrued interest, please refer to relevant information as set out in article 12 headed “Terms of redemption”).

– 53 – APPENDIX I PROPOSED ISSUANCE OF A SHARE CONVERTIBLE BONDS

11. ENTITLEMENT TO DIVIDEND IN THE YEAR OF CONVERSION

The new A Shares to be issued as a result of the conversion of A Share Convertible Bonds shall rank pari passu with all the existing A Shares, and all ordinary Shareholders (including those derived from the conversion of the A Share Convertible Bonds) whose names are recorded on the register of members of the Company on the record date for dividend distribution shall be entitled to receive the dividend of that period.

12. TERMS OF REDEMPTION

(1) Terms of Redemption Upon Maturity

Within five trading days upon maturity of A Share Convertible Bonds, the Company will redeem all the A Share Convertible Bonds from A Share Convertible Bond Holders which have not been converted into Shares by then, at a price calculated at a premium (including the interest accrued in the last interest accrual year) in addition to the nominal value of A Share Convertible Bonds. The actual premium shall be determined by the Board and its authorized persons upon negotiation with the sponsor (the lead underwriter) with reference to the market conditions before issuance, which is subject to the authorization by the Shareholders at the EGM.

(2) Terms of Conditional Redemption

During the conversion period of A Share Convertible Bonds, if the closing prices of A Shares during at least 15 trading days out of any 30 consecutive trading days are no less than 130% (inclusive) of the prevailing conversion price, or the total par value of the outstanding A Share Convertible Bonds is lower than RMB30 million, the Company shall have the right to redeem all or part of the outstanding A Share Convertible Bonds, at a price equal to the nominal value of A Share Convertible Bonds plus then accrued interest.

Formula for calculating then accrued interest is:

IA: denotes the accrued interest for the current period;

B: denotes the aggregate nominal value of the A Share Convertible Bonds to be redeemed that are held by A Share Convertible Bond Holders;

In the event that an adjustment to the conversion price by the Company is made due to ex- rights or ex-dividend during the aforementioned trading days, in respect of the trading days prior to the adjustment to the conversion price, the calculation shall be based on the unadjusted conversion price and the closing price of the Shares on each such day, and in respect of the days on which adjustment to the conversion price is made and the trading days afterwards, the calculation shall be based on the adjusted conversion price and the closing price of the shares on each such day.

13. TERMS OF SALE BACK

During the last two interest accrual years within the term of the A Share Convertible Bonds, if the closing prices of the A Shares of the Company on any 30 consecutive trading days are lower than 70% of the prevailing conversion price, the A Share Convertible Bond Holders are entitled to sell back all or part of the A Share Convertible Bonds they hold to the Company at par plus the then accrued interest.

In the event that an adjustment to the conversion price by the Company is made due to ex- rights or ex-dividend during the aforementioned trading days, in respect of the trading days prior to the adjustment to the conversion price, the calculation shall be based on the unadjusted conversion price and the closing price of the Shares on each such day, and in respect of the days on which adjustment to the conversion price is made and the trading days afterwards, the calculation shall be based on the adjusted conversion price and the closing price of the shares on each such day. In the event that there is a downward adjustment to the conversion price, the aforesaid “30 consecutive trading days” shall be re-counted from the first trading day following the adjustment to the conversion price.

The A Share Convertible Bond Holders can exercise their sale back rights once every year when the sale back conditions are initially satisfied according to the above-mentioned agreed terms in the last two interest accrual years within the term of the A Share Convertible Bonds. If the sale back conditions are initially satisfied, but the A Share Convertible Bond Holders do not apply for and exercise their sale back rights during the sale back declaration period then announced by the Company, they shall not exercise the sale back rights during such accrual years. The A Share Convertible Bond Holders are not allowed to exercise part of their sale back rights repeatedly.

As at 31 December 2014, 2015 and 2016 and 30 September 2017, total assets of the Company amounted to RMB623.5659970 billion, RMB696.09633 billion, RMB759.345034 billion and RMB829.643329 billion, respectively. The scale of assets had increased gradually during the years with the continued expansion in business scale of the Company.

Current assets of the Company primarily included inventories, accounts receivable and cash and bank balances. As at 31 December 2014, 2015 and 2016 and 30 September 2017, current assets of the Company represented 83.60%, 82.64%, 80.50% and 79.24% of total assets respectively, which were relatively high. The higher proportion of current assets of the Company is in line with the characteristics of the construction industry, mainly due to:

(1) Influenced by the characteristic of the Company being principally engaged in the infrastructure construction industry, the account receivables of the Company have a relatively long collection cycle, resulting in the relatively high proportion of the balance of accounts receivables.

– 90 – APPENDIX II PRELIMINARY PLAN OF THE PROPOSED ISSUANCE OF A SHARE CONVERTIBLE BONDS

(2) The industry where the Company is operating in, is a capital-intensified industry. The Company has to maintain funds for the payment of raw materials, payrolls, contractor fees and other expenses. Hence, monetary funds of the Company represented a relatively high proportion.

During the reporting period, non-current assets of the Company primarily included fixed assets, intangible assets and long-term receivables. As at 31 December 2014, 2015 and 2016 and 30 September 2017, non-current assets represented 16.40%, 17.36%, 19.50% and 20.76% of the total assets respectively, details of which are as follows:

(1) Fixed assets primarily included equipment, properties and buildings, vehicles, etc. During the reporting period, the Company maintained its fixed assets at a certain level so as to fulfill the needs for its operation management.

(2) Intangible assets primarily included land use right, concession, mining right, etc. As at the end of each reporting period, intangible assets grew year on year, mainly due to the concessions for new construction projects under business expansion of the Company.

(3) Long-term receivables primarily included receivables for BT projects, receivables for primary land development, deposits for construction works, etc. During the reporting period, the business scale of the Company increased gradually, resulting in the corresponding increase in long-term receivables.

Pursuant to the Several Opinions of the State Council on Further Promoting the Healthy Development of the Capital Market 《國務院關於進一步促進資本市場健康發展的若干意見》( ) (Guo Fa [2014] No. 17), the Opinions of the General Office of the State Council on Further Strengthening the Protection of Small and Medium Investors’ Legitimate Interests in the Capital Market 《國務院辦公廳關於進一步加強資本( 市場中小投資者合法權益保護工作的意見》) (Guo Ban Fa [2013] No. 110) and the Guiding Opinions on Matters relating to the Dilution of Immediate Returns in Initial Public Offering, Refinancing and Major Assets Restructuring 《關於首發及再融資、重大資產重組攤薄即期回報有關事項的指導意見》( ) (CSRC Announcement [2015] No. 31), the Company has analyzed the potential impacts of the public issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds on the ordinary Shareholder’s interests and the immediate returns with reference to the actual conditions of the Company and will adopt the relevant remedial measures as set out below:

I. ANALYSIS OF IMPACT OF DILUTION OF IMMEDIATE RETURNS ARISING FROM THE PROPOSED ISSUANCE OF A SHARE CONVERTIBLE BONDS ON KEY FINANCIAL INDICATORS OF THE COMPANY

(I) Assumptions

The impacts of the issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds on the Company’s key financial data and indicators are estimated mainly based on the following assumptions:

1. Assume that no significant changes occur in aspects such as the macro-economic environment, the development condition of the industry and the operating environment of the Company, etc.

2. Assume that the Company could complete the issuance of the A Share Convertible Bonds by the end of December 2017, and the proceeds raised from the financing would be in place. The time is only used to calculate the impacts of diluted immediate returns arising from the issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds on the Company’s key financial data and indicators, which is ultimately subject to the actual completion time of issuance upon the approval by CSRC.

3. Assume that the Company could raise total proceeds of not more than RMB10 billion (inclusive) from the issuance of the A Share Convertible Bonds (without considering the impact of issuance costs). The actual amount of proceeds raised from the issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds will be finally determined pursuant to the factors including approval of supervisory authorities, subscription for the A Share Convertible Bonds to be issued and issuance cost.

– 110 – APPENDIX III THE DILUTION OF IMMEDIATE RETURNS BY THE PROPOSED ISSUANCE OF A SHARE CONVERTIBLE BONDS AND THE REMEDIAL MEASURES

4. Assume that the conversion price of the A Share Convertible Bonds is RMB12.03 per Share, which is no less than the average trading price of A Shares in the 20 trading days or in the trading day preceding the announcement date (namely 7 November 2017) of the resolutions of the fiftieth meeting of the third session of the Board of the Company, or the latest audited net assets value per Share (which is higher). The conversion price is only used to calculate the impacts of dilution of immediate returns arising from the issuance of the A Share Convertible Bonds on the Company’s key financial data and indicators. The initial conversion price will be determined finally by the Board of the Company according to market conditions before the issuance as authorized by the general meeting, and ex-rights, ex-dividend adjustment or downward adjustment might be conducted.

5. Assume that no any other factors (including profit distribution and etc.), apart from the conversion of A Share Convertible Bonds into ordinary shares, will cause the changes in the ordinary share capital of the Company.

6. On 29 January 2016, the Company issued convertible bonds of US$500 million due on 29 January 2021. On 21 December 2016, the Company issued convertible bonds of RMB3.45 billion due on 21 December 2021. Assuming the bonds are converted in full at the current conversion price of HK$10.02 per Share in 2017, bonds denominated in US dollars will be converted into approximately 388,942,115 ordinary Shares; Assuming the bonds are converted in full at the current conversion price of HK$13.59 per Share in 2017, bonds denominated in RMB will be converted into approximately 285,303,590 ordinary Shares. The conversion amounts of the convertible bonds of US$500 million and RMB3.45 billion to be issued by the Company in 2018 are assumed to be consistent with that in 2017 (The assumption is only used for calculating the indicators of diluted earnings per Share).

7. Assume that the nominal interest rate of the A Share Convertible Bonds is 0.2%, and it is only a simulated or estimated rate, which does not constitute the forecast on actual nominal interest rate.

– 111 – APPENDIX III THE DILUTION OF IMMEDIATE RETURNS BY THE PROPOSED ISSUANCE OF A SHARE CONVERTIBLE BONDS AND THE REMEDIAL MEASURES

8. Not consider the impacts of the proceeds raised from the issuance on the Company’s production, operation and financial conditions (e.g. efficiency in the use of proceeds) at the moment.

9. Assume that no significant changes in the macro-economic environment, the development of the industry and the Company’s business environment. Based on the principle of prudence, assume that the net profit attributable to the shareholders of the Company and the net profit attributable to the shareholders of the Company after deduction of non-recurring gains and losses in 2017 will remain unchanged as compared to 2016, the Company’s growth in the net profit attributable to the shareholders of the Company and the net profit attributable to the shareholders of the Company after deduction of non-recurring gains and losses in 2018 will be 0%, 10% and 15% as compared to 2016. The above-mentioned profit forecast does not represent the Company’s forecast on future profit, which is only used to calculate the impact of diluted immediate returns arising from the issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds on the Company’s key financial data and indicators; and investors should not make any investment decision based on these grounds.

10. Basic earnings per Share and diluted earnings per Share are calculated pursuant to relevant provisions in the Compilation Rules for Information Disclosure by the Companies Offering Securities to the Public No. 9 – Calculation and Disclosure of Return on Equity and Earnings per Share.

(II) Impact on the Company’s key financial indicators

Based on the above assumptions, the impacts of the issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds on the key financial data and indicators of the Company are shown as follows:

(III) Notes on the estimate

The above assumptions in relation to the impacts of the issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds on the Company’s key financial data and indicators do not represent the Company’s judgment of the operation or development trend for the year 2018, and do not constitute the Company’s profit forecasts. Investors shall not make investment decisions on these grounds. The Company assumes no liability for any loss of investors thus incurred.

II. RISK WARNING FOR DILUTION OF IMMEDIATE RETURNS ARISING FROM THE ISSUANCE OF A SHARE CONVERTIBLE BONDS

After the issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds and before the conversion of all bonds, the number of the Company’s outstanding dilutive potential ordinary Shares will increase correspondingly; if the financial returns on raised proceeds are not taken into consideration, the diluted earnings per Share for the year when the Company completes the issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds and that after deduction of non-recurring gains and losses are likely to decline.

After the issuance of the A Share Convertible Bonds and before the conversion, the Company is required to pay interest to the investors whose A Share Convertible Bonds have not been converted at the agreed coupon rate; as the coupon rate of the A Share Convertible Bonds is generally low, the profit growth due to the Company’s use of proceeds raised from issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds will exceed the bond interest paid to investors of A Share Convertible Bonds under the normal circumstances, which will not cause any reduction in the Company’s overall revenue; in extreme cases, if such profit growth cannot cover the bond interest paid to investors, the after- tax profit of the Company will face the risk of falling, hence diluting immediate returns of the Company’s ordinary Shareholders.

After the conversion of all or part of A Share Convertible Bonds held by investors, total Shares and net assets of the Company will increase accordingly. As the investment projects for fund raising are subject to a certain period of development and the projects will take some time to produce benefits, the returns of Shareholders during the construction period is still mainly realized through existing business, and certain dilutive effect may be generated on the proportions of shareholding of the existing Shareholders of the Company, return on equity of net assets of the Company and earnings per Share of the Company.

In addition, the terms on downward adjustment to conversion price have been set forth for the A Share Convertible Bonds. When the terms are triggered, the Company may apply for downward adjustment to the conversion price, resulting in the increase of total Shares due to the conversion of A Share Convertible Bonds and the amplification of potential dilutive effect of the conversion on existing Shareholders of the Company.

III. NECESSITY AND RATIONALITY OF THE ISSUANCE OF A SHARE CONVERTIBLE BONDS

(I) Necessity analysis of the public issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds

1. The issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds is an important measure of the Company to develop our principal business by seizing the opportunities brought about by national strategies such as “Belt and Road”

Currently, the domestic macro economy is at a key stage of striving to maintain a steady growth and deepening the adjustment to the economic structure, and investment in infrastructure construction and the overall construction engineering market are expected to increase steadily. In particular, the country’s speeding up the construction of railways in the central and western regions and new type of urbanization construction bring broad market room for the Company. In addition, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council have actively rolled out the Three Strategies (“Belt and Road”, the coordinated development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt), continuously promoted urbanization, shanty town renovation and upgrading of transportation facilities in the central and western regions since 2015.

The Company is one of the strongest and largest ultra-scale integrated construction groups in China and in the world. The business of the Company comprises construction contracting, survey, design and consultancy, industrial manufacturing, real estate development, logistics and materials trade and other businesses, which constitute a seamless industry chain covering scientific research, planning, survey, design, construction, supervision, maintenance, operation, investment and financing, etc.. The Company is a core enterprise implementing the above-mentioned national strategies, and with the further promotion of the related national strategies and policies, the Company will enjoy broader business room.

Given this backdrop, it is necessary for the Company to adequately utilize the capital market to raise necessary capital required for business expansion in order to seize the business opportunities brought about by the abovementioned national strategies, and continue to make the core business bigger and stronger for enhancement of the core competitiveness of the Company.

– 117 – APPENDIX III THE DILUTION OF IMMEDIATE RETURNS BY THE PROPOSED ISSUANCE OF A SHARE CONVERTIBLE BONDS AND THE REMEDIAL MEASURES

2. The issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds is an important measure of the Company to optimize the Company’s financial structure, reduce finance costs, and enhance the capability of risk prevention

As of 30 September 2017, the consolidated asset-liability ratio of the Company was 80.82%, which is higher than the average level of listed companies in the industry. The expansion capability of the business scale of the Company was limited by the overall capital and liability conditions of the Company to a certain extent. The issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds will increase the liabilities scale of the Company within a short term, and increase the asset-liability ratio of the Company, while the finance costs of the Company will be reduced to a certain extent due to generally low coupon rate of A Share Convertible Bonds. From the perspective of medium and long term, upon part or full conversion of A Share Convertible Bonds, the net assets of the Company will increase simultaneously while the asset-liability ratio will decrease correspondingly. As such, it is necessary for the Company to replenish the capital of the Company through issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds, in order to decrease the asset-liability ratio of the Company, improve the capital structure of the Company, further optimize the financial condition, reduce the insolvency risk and enhance the risk prevention capability, and promote the healthy development of the Company’s business with a good momentum, thereby maximizing the interests of Shareholders.

(II) Rationality analysis of the public issuance

1. The projects to be financed by the proceeds raised from the public issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds have promising prospects on return

The proceeds to be raised from the public issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds will be invested in the development and construction of Construction Project of Phase I and II of Metro Line 6 of Chengdu, Deyang–Dujiangyan Section of G0511 Expressway Project and Deyang–Jianyang Section of the Chengdu Economic Zone Ring Expressway Project, which have promising prospects on return rate and internal revenue rate. As a result, although the public issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds may result in certain dilution to the immediate returns of the Company within the short term without taking into account the returns of the projects to be financed by the raised proceeds based on the estimation, the profitability, investment and financing capability, research and development capability and development potential of the Company will be strengthened progressively with the commencement of construction and gradual release of results of the projects to be financed by the raised proceeds, and earnings per Share of the Company will be improved in the medium and long term, thereby enhancing Shareholders’ return.

– 118 – APPENDIX III THE DILUTION OF IMMEDIATE RETURNS BY THE PROPOSED ISSUANCE OF A SHARE CONVERTIBLE BONDS AND THE REMEDIAL MEASURES

2. The public issuance is beneficial to the reduction of finance costs of the Company, decreases of asset-liability ratio level, and the optimization of the financial structure of the Company

Upon completion of the issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds, although the Company will still have to pay for the nominal interest in the short term, it contributes to the reduction of the Company’s finance costs to a certain extent due to the low interest rate of A Share Convertible Bonds. Furthermore, upon the full conversion of the A Share Convertible Bonds to Shares in the future, the Company’s asset-liability ratio will be decreased. According to preliminary calculation of the current stock price, the asset-liability ratio of the Company will decrease by 0.96 percentage points from 80.82% to 79.86%. Therefore, the public issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds helps to optimize the capital structure of the Company, enhance the capital operation efficiency of the Company, mitigate the pressure on financial costs of the Company effectively, and further releases the growth potential of the Company.

IV. RELATIONS OF THE PROJECTS TO BE FINANCED BY THE RAISED PROCEEDS WITH THE COMPANY’S EXISTING BUSINESSES, AND THE RESERVES IN TERMS OF PERSONNEL, TECHNOLOGY AND MARKET FOR THE PROJECTS TO BE FINANCED BY THE RAISED PROCEEDS OF THE COMPANY

(I) Relations of the project to be financed by the raised proceeds with the Company’s existing businesses

(1) Risk of periodic fluctuations of the macro-economy

The Company’s principal business focuses on the architecture engineering field, which is closely related to the operation and development of macroeconomy, of which the industry development is subject to the effects of macro-economic factors including investment scale of social fixed assets and the process of urbanization. In recent years, the national economy has kept a stable growth and the global economy has gradually come out of the shadow of financial crisis and is in the process of continuous recovering. However, the possibility of periodic fluctuations of macro-economy cannot be eliminated in the future. If the global macro-economy is in the down cycle or the national economic growth rate significantly slows down, and the Company does not reasonably expect it and make corresponding adjustment to its operation strategy, there will be a gliding risk in the operation performance of the Company.

– 123 – APPENDIX III THE DILUTION OF IMMEDIATE RETURNS BY THE PROPOSED ISSUANCE OF A SHARE CONVERTIBLE BONDS AND THE REMEDIAL MEASURES

The Company will adhere to China’s overall “13th Five-Year Plan”, leverage on the spirit of railway corps, which is centered on that “no way is impossible for railway corps by cutting paths through mountains and building bridges across rivers; there is no difficulties for the railway corps after eating and sleeping in the open air and toiling constantly under the exposure to the weather”, grasp China’s macroeconomic development trends and continue to explore the principal business of the Company. The Company will continue to enhance the advantage of technical leadership in the context of urbanization construction in China, while constantly improving the industrial structure and layout, gradually optimizing the management structure, further enhancing the comprehensive competitive advantage of the Company, so as to strive to minimize the impact of macroeconomic fluctuations on the Company.

III. INFLUENCE OF THE PROJECTS TO BE FINANCED BY THE RAISED PROCEEDS ON OPERATION AND MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE COMPANY

(i) Influence of the Projects to be Financed by the Raised Proceeds on Operation and Management of the Company

The projects to be financed by the proceeds raised from the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds, which stay in line with relevant industrial policy of the state as well as the overall future strategic development direction of the Company, have optimistic market prospect and desirable economic benefits. These projects, upon implementation, will further enhance the Company’s ability in urban rail transit and highway construction. The completion of these projects will further consolidate the Company’s market position, enhance its core competitiveness, create new profit-drivers and enhance its profit level, which will thus lay a solid foundation for the development of the Company over the coming certain period in the future.

(ii) Influence of the Projects to be Financed by the Raised Proceeds on the Financial Condition of the Company

Upon the completion of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds, both the scale of liabilities and assets of the Company will increase in the short term, which will result in an increase in the asset-liability ratio. However, upon completion of the conversion, the liabilities will decrease gradually and net assets will increase accordingly, hence finally resulting in a decrease in the asset-liability ratio. Likewise, injecting the raised proceeds into the principal businesses of the Company is expected to enhance its profitability and greatly elevate its investment and financing ability, research and development strength and development potential. Upon completion of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds, the return on equity of the Company will be adversely affected to certain extent in the short term due to that the projects to be financed by the raised proceeds require a certain period of construction. However, in the medium-long run, these projects, upon commencing to generate profit in succession, will increase the revenue and profit level of the Company and enhance its profitability and profit-making stability, and in turn help to further expand the projects of the Company and achieve further development of the Company.

In conclusion, the projects to be financed by the proceeds raised from the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds stay in line with relevant industrial policy of the state as well as the overall future strategic development direction of the Company and have optimistic market prospect and desirable economic benefits, which are essential to the improvement of the Company’s profitability and core competitiveness and the reduction of financial risks. The implementation of the projects to be financed by the proceeds raised from the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds will lay a solid foundation for the maintenance of steady development of the Company over a relatively long period, which is in the interests of the Shareholders as a whole. Therefore, the use of proceeds raised from the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds is feasible.

IV. PARTICULARS OF THE SELF-INSPECTION

(i) Self-inspection with respect to administrative penalties or filing for investigations due to idle lands

On 13 June 2014, the Ministry of Land and Resources published a report on the “Intensification of Disposal of Idle Lands in Key Areas in Hainan” on its website, which mentioned that “the staff had a thorough understanding of various reasons that obstructed the construction works during the disposal of idle lands for projects such as ‘Shuxiang Small Town’ in Wenchang. The reasons included the outstanding issues arising from land acquisition and compensation (in respect of the government), the lack of timely place of investment and the slow progress of development and construction (in respect of enterprises).”

On 13 November 2013, Bureau of Land, Environment and Resources of Wendang issued the Identification Letter on Idle Lands (Wen Guo Xian Tu Ding Zi [2013] No. 40 《閒( 置土地認定書》 (文國閒土定字[2013]40 號)), which stated that, “Based on the actual result of investigation and in accordance with the requirements of the Provision on the Identification and Disposal of Idle Land in Hainan Province《海南省閒置土地認定和 處置規定》 (Provincial Government Order No. 247), and upon review by the Municipal People’s Government of Wenchang, the above land parcel (i.e., the land used for the project of Shuxiang Small Town (Wen Guo Tu Chu [2005] No. 30-1) (文國土儲[2005]-30-1號)) was identified to be a parcel of idle land and the idling was caused by the government or government departments.”

– 171 – APPENDIX VIII SPECIAL SELF-INSPECTION REPORT ON THE REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT BUSINESS

On 25 February 2014, Wenchang Shuxiang Small Town Development Co., Ltd. received the Construction Work Implementation Permit (No.: 469005201402250101) issued by Bureau of Residential and Urban and Rural Construction of Wenchang, and the name of the project is “22 # –26 # Floor, Five High-rise Residential Buildings, Phase I of Wenchang Shuxiang Small Town”.

On 30 January 2015, Bureau of Land, Environment and Resources of Wenchang issued the Confirmation Letter to confirm that as Wenchang Shuxiang Small Town Development Co., Ltd. had commenced development and construction as scheduled and the investment amount had reached more than 25% of the total investment amount, there were no idle lands.

After obtaining the Construction Work Implementation Permit, the Company has completed the disposal of the land used for the project pursuant to the requirements of Article 19 and Article 21 of the Provision on the Identification and Disposal of Idle Land in Hainan Province. At present, the construction has fully started for the land used for the project, and the completed construction area accounts for about 70% of the total construction area of the project, with the remaining development work being carried out in order.

Based on the above, though there are identified idle lands under the project, as the idling is caused by the government or government departments and the project has legally started construction during the Reporting Period, and Bureau of Land, Environment and Resources of Wenchang has confirmed that the Company does not intentionally possess idle lands. As such, the Company believes that the above situation will not constitute a substantial obstacle to this issuance.

Save for the matters mentioned above, during the Reporting Period, Real Estate Enterprises within the Scope of the Self-inspection did not involve in any act of land idling, collection of land idling fees or land resumption identified by competent government departments by receiving the Identification Letter on Idle Lands, “Letter of Decision on the Collection of Land Idling Fees” 《徵繳土地閒置費決定書》( ) and Notification to Withdraw the State- owned Construction Land Use Right 《收回國有建設用地使用權決定書》( ), nor were subject to administrative penalties or filing for investigations by competent departments due to idle lands.
