The transfer of control planned by Liu Menglong, the controlling shareholder of the company, and the loan provided by Lin Qingde for the company are two independent transactions, which do not constitute a package deal. The specific reasons are as follows:

Liu Menglong, the controlling shareholder of the company, and Lin Qingde, the shareholder holding more than 5% of the company, planned to transfer part of their equity, mainly based on the strategic planning evaluation and personal capital needs of the controlling shareholder; As a shareholder holding more than 5% of the company’s shares, Lin Qingde has always supported the rapid development of the company’s business. The company’s borrowing from Lin Qingde is based on the needs of production and operation and recent bank repayment arrangements, which is conducive to supplementing the company’s working capital and expanding the company’s production and operation development. Compared with financial institutions, this borrowing has higher financing efficiency and similar interest rates. The background and purpose of the two transactions are different, and there is no mutual influence.
2. The two trading decisions are independent of each other
According to the equity transfer agreement signed by both parties, the above two matters are not related and are not preconditions and conditions for each other. The equity transfer planned by Liu Menglong, the controlling shareholder of the company, is based on personal capital needs. The decision-making and price and other details of the transfer are determined by both parties through independent negotiation, and does not involve the plan and arrangement for Lin Qingde to provide loans for the company.

The loan strictly followed the decision-making procedures of the listed company, and did not involve the plans and arrangements for the transfer of the company’s control.
To sum up, the background and purpose of the above two transactions are different, the transaction decisions are independent of each other, the decision-making procedures are completely different, there is no relationship of mutual conditions and preconditions, and they are not carried out at the same time or under the consideration of mutual influence. Therefore, the transaction between the controlling shareholder planning the transfer of control and Lin Qingde providing loans to the company does not constitute a package deal.
