As the actual controller and controlling shareholder of the company, China National Building Materials Group Co., Ltd. and China National Building Materials Co., Ltd. made the commitment on avoiding horizontal competition with China Jushi Co.Ltd(600176) enterprises in December 2017 in order to avoid and eliminate the horizontal competition of subordinate enterprises related to glass fiber and its products business, Among them, the commitment is: “… For the horizontal competition between China National Building Materials Group and China National Material Group Co., Ltd. before the reorganization and the horizontal competition between China National Building Materials Group and China Jushi Co.Ltd(600176) (if any) caused by the aforesaid reorganization , China Building Materials Group will, within three years from the date of issuance of this commitment, strive to use a shorter time, in accordance with the requirements of relevant securities regulatory authorities, under the premise of applicable laws and regulations and relevant regulatory rules, and in line with the principle of being conducive to the development of China guojushi and safeguarding the interests of shareholders, especially the interests of small and medium-sized shareholders, and comprehensively use various methods such as entrusted management, asset restructuring, equity replacement and business adjustment, Steadily promote relevant business integration to solve the problem of horizontal competition… “.
We understand that since making the above commitments, China Building Materials Group and China Building Materials Co., Ltd. have been committed to fulfilling the above commitments, actively communicating with relevant parties, and seeking feasible solutions that will not infringe or affect the independence of listed companies, but also maximize the interests of public shareholders of two A-share listed companies ( China Jushi Co.Ltd(600176) and Sinoma Science & Technology Co.Ltd(002080) ), so as to solve the problem of horizontal competition. To this end, China Building Materials Group and China Building Materials Co., Ltd. coordinate the two A-share listed companies to plan major asset restructuring. The proposed transaction scheme is that the two A-share listed companies purchase all or part of the equity of Taishan Glass Fiber Co., Ltd. and Jiangsu Lianyungang Port Co.Ltd(601008) Zhongfu Lianzhong Composite Material Group Co., Ltd. by paying cash, asset replacement, stock exchange and other ways.

During the suspension period, although China Building Materials Group and China Building Materials Co., Ltd. have actively called on the trading parties for repeated consultation and discussion, the trading parties still failed to reach an agreement on the core terms of the proposed trading scheme. After careful study, the two A-share listed companies decided to terminate the proposed transaction on December 15, 2020 The commitments made by China Building Materials Co., Ltd. failed to be fulfilled as expected China Jushi Co.Ltd(600176) the general meeting of shareholders deliberated and approved the postponement of China Building Materials Group and China Building Materials Co., Ltd. to fulfill their commitments on horizontal competition.
