Through systematic management, the bank realizes the requirements of bill liquidity management for customers. This business can comprehensively revitalize the company’s bill assets, reduce the customer’s bill management cost, effectively improve the company’s bill income, and effectively reduce the company’s bill risk.
2. Cooperative financial institutions
The cooperative bank to carry out the bill pool business is a commercial bank with good credit standing in China. The specific authorized management of the cooperative bank is determined according to the cooperative relationship between the company and commercial banks, the bill pool service ability of commercial banks and other comprehensive factors. 3. Implementation subject

5. Business term
18 months from the date of deliberation and approval at the ninth meeting of the Fourth Board of directors of the company.
6. Guarantee method
Under the premise of controllable risk, the company and its subsidiaries within the scope of consolidated statements can adopt various guarantee methods for the establishment and use of bill pool, such as maximum amount pledge, guarantee guarantee guarantee, general pledge, certificate of deposit pledge, bill pledge, guarantee deposit pledge and so on. The specific guarantee form and amount are authorized by the company’s management according to the business needs of the company and its subsidiaries within the scope of consolidated statements and the principle of maximizing system interests.
2、 Purpose of bill pool business
In the process of collecting sales payment, the number of customers who use bills for settlement increases, and the number of bank acceptance bills received also increases. At the same time, the company often makes settlement by issuing bank acceptance bills in cooperation with suppliers.
1. After receiving bills, the company deposits the bills receivable into the agreement bank through the bill pool business for centralized management. The bank handles custody, delegated collection and other businesses on behalf of the company, which can reduce the cost of the company’s management of various valuable bills.
2. The company can use the outstanding stock of valuable bill assets in the bill pool as pledge, and issue bank acceptance bills not exceeding the pledge amount to pay the supplier’s payment for goods and other operating funds, which is conducive to reducing the occupation of monetary funds, improving the use efficiency of current assets and maximizing the shareholders’ equity.
3. Carrying out the bill pool business can manage the company’s bills receivable and bills payable to be issued as a whole, reduce the company’s capital occupation, optimize the financial structure and improve the capital utilization rate.
3、 Risk and control
(I) liquidity risk
To carry out the bill pool business, the company needs to open a special margin account for the pledge financing business of the bill pool in the cooperative bank as the entry account for the due collection of the pledged bills under the bill pool. If the due dates of notes receivable and notes payable are inconsistent, the collected funds will enter the margin account where the company applies to the cooperative bank for issuing commercial bills, which will have a certain impact on the liquidity of the company’s funds.
Risk control measures: the company can eliminate this impact by replacing the margin with newly received notes, and the capital liquidity risk is controllable.
(II) guarantee risk
The company uses the bills entering the bill pool as a pledge and applies to the cooperative bank for issuing commercial bills to pay the supplier’s payment for goods and other operating funds. With the maturity of the pledged bills, the company handles the collection and settlement. If the bills cannot be collected normally when they are due, the amount of the pledged bills is insufficient, resulting in the cooperative bank requiring the company to provide additional guarantee.
Risk control measures: after the company and its subsidiaries carry out the bill pool business with the cooperative bank, they will arrange special personnel to connect with the cooperative bank, establish the bill pool account, track and manage, timely understand the collection and settlement of expired bills, and arrange the company’s newly received bills to enter the pool, so as to ensure the safety and liquidity of bills entering the pool.

The board of directors authorizes the management to exercise the decision-making power of specific operations and sign relevant contract documents within the authorized amount and business period, including but not limited to selecting qualified commercial banks and determining the specific amount, collateral, guarantee form and amount of bill pool that can be used by the company and subsidiaries within the scope of consolidated statements.
2. The Finance Department of the company shall timely analyze and track the business progress of the bill pool. If adverse factors are found or judged, it will take corresponding measures to control risks and report to the management of the company in time.
3. The Audit Department of the company is responsible for auditing and supervising the development of bill pool business.
4. The independent directors and the board of supervisors have the right to supervise and inspect the specific conditions of the company’s bill pool business.
