Date of establishment: February 21, 2003
Business term: February 21, 2003 to February 20, 2053
Celanese is a wholly-owned business entity of Celanese Corporation in China. Located in Nanjing Chemical Industrial Park, Celanese mainly produces acetic acid, vinyl acetate, acetic anhydride and other chemical products. Celanese Corporation, headquartered in Dallas, Texas, is a manufacturer of chemical and special materials. It mainly produces high-performance engineering polymers. It is one of the world's leading manufacturers of acetyl products. It has business sites in North America, Europe and Asia. Celanese Corporation was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 2005 with the stock code CE. According to public information disclosure, Celanese Corporation had total assets of US $11.975 billion as of December 31, 2021, operating revenue of US $8.537 billion and net profit of US $1.890 billion in 2021. (2) Main terms of this renewal of phase II contract
1) Price terms and calculation basis of estimated income reduction
The business contract fee signed between Nanjing Longxiang and Celanese mainly includes fixed fee and operation fee. Among them, the fixed fee is mainly the charge corresponding to the storage tank capacity reserved by Nanjing Longxiang for Celanese to provide wharf storage services, which will remain unchanged in each year within the validity of the contract; The operation fee is mainly the charge corresponding to the loading and unloading service provided by Nanjing Longxiang for Celanese, which is mainly charged according to the throughput and the loading and unloading unit price of each operation type.
For the fixed expenses, according to the amount directly listed in the phase I contract, the total annual fixed expenses paid by Celanese for various storage varieties during the validity of the phase I contract is 103.4859 million yuan; According to the amount directly listed in the phase II contract, the total annual fixed fee paid by Celanese for various storage varieties during the validity of the phase II contract is 64.4859 million yuan.
The decline in fixed costs is mainly the result of commercial negotiations between the two sides. During the pricing of phase I contract, both parties considered the depreciation of production equipment invested by Nanjing Longxiang based on negotiation, and the fixed cost is relatively high. As a large proportion of the corresponding production equipment has been depreciated during the term of phase I contract, Celanese took this factor into account in the negotiation during the pricing of phase II contract, so the amount of fixed expenses in phase II contract after negotiation has been reduced. Therefore, assuming that all other factors remain unchanged, the amount of fixed fees paid by Celanese to Nanjing Longxiang will decrease by 39 million yuan compared with the phase I contract after the phase II contract comes into force.
For the part of operating expenses, the pricing of operating expenses in phase I and phase II of Celanese contract shall be consistent in principle, and the actual amount of charges will be determined according to the actual throughput after the execution of phase II contract.

Other main contract terms of the second phase contract renewed between Nanjing Longxiang and Celanese also include service scope, payment arrangement, order processing, inventory management, measurement method, contract term, termination and renewal arrangement, confidentiality clause, indemnity clause, etc.

3) Preemptive right of assignment: if the phase II contract is terminated for any reason and Nanjing Longxiang plans to sell the storage tank facilities providing services for Celanese to an independent third party in the open market, Celanese may submit a written notice to Nanjing Longxiang to purchase such assets at the same price within 14 days after the final price is determined, and give priority to the assignment of relevant assets at that price.

Meanwhile, Celanese shall pay a certain proportion of termination fee to Nanjing Longxiang according to the contract every month during the remaining term of phase II contract.
