3、 Reasons for terminating this major asset restructuring
Since the preparation of this major asset restructuring, the company has actively organized relevant parties to promote this transaction in strict accordance with the requirements of relevant laws and regulations. This transaction involves the spin off of Beikong clean energy group, a company listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange. In accordance with the application guidelines of item 15 of the rules governing the listing of securities on the stock exchange of Hong Kong Limited (hereinafter referred to as “pn15”) and the relevant laws and regulations of Hong Kong, Beikong clean energy group needs to obtain the approval of the stock exchange of Hong Kong for the spin off under pn15 (hereinafter referred to as “this spin off”), And obtain its consent to exempt Beikong clean energy group from the applicable provisions of guaranteed quota under pn15.
On January 21, 2022, Beikong clean energy group received an email from the stock exchange of Hong Kong, believing that Beikong clean energy group did not comply with the relevant provisions on asset spin off and listing in the Securities Listing Rules of the stock exchange of Hong Kong Limited. This email does not constitute a formal decision under the Listing Rules of the stock exchange of Hong Kong.
On January 25, 2022, the company received the notification letter from the target company, It informs: “After discussing with the relevant intermediaries of the pn15 spin off, it is believed that according to the written reply of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the general audit habits of the Hong Kong stock exchange, in case of non-compliance with the relevant rules, the written reply of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange will be deemed that the spin off has not been approved, and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange will not make further reply / reply to the approval opinions.”
In view of the fact that the examination and approval results of pn15 spin off directly affect the progress of the company’s major asset restructuring, on February 10, 2022, the company sent an inquiry letter to the target company, asking the target company to introduce in detail the specific process of the examination and approval communication between Beikong clean energy group and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange under pn15 spin off and the plan and arrangement of subsequent communication, Specify the specific reasons for Beikong clean energy group’s non-compliance with the asset spin off rules of the Hong Kong stock exchange, and explain the plan for the follow-up work of this major asset restructuring.
On February 16, 2022, the company received the communication letter from the target company. The communication letter explained the communication process between Beikong clean energy group and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on the pn15 spin off, and said that due to changes in the market environment, the financial data of the retained assets in 2021 failed to meet the relevant provisions on the profit indicators of the retained assets in Chapter 8 of the rules for the listing of securities on the stock exchange of Hong Kong Limited. According to the prudent judgment of intermediaries, “The proposed spin off will not be approved if it does not comply with the relevant rules,” he said. Accordingly, Beikong clean energy group has no plans or arrangements for further communication with the Hong Kong stock exchange. According to the agreement on Sec Electric Machinery Co.Ltd(603988) major asset replacement and issuance of shares to purchase assets signed by all parties to the transaction, one of the preconditions for the implementation of this transaction is to obtain the approval of the Hong Kong stock exchange. The failure to obtain the approval of the Hong Kong stock exchange for this spin off will lead to the failure to reach the preconditions of this transaction and the inability to continue the implementation of this transaction. Based on the review of the Hong Kong stock exchange, it is suggested to further negotiate on the matters related to the proposed termination of this transaction, communicate with other transaction participants for confirmation as soon as possible, and jointly reach a termination agreement on this transaction.
