[reply of the company]: I. supplementary disclosure of the reasons for the survival and division of the subject assets, whether the relevant review and registration procedures for the survival and division are complete, whether the specific arrangements for relevant creditor’s rights and debts, and whether the delivery of assets and personnel are clear (I) the reasons for the survival and division of the subject assets
The purpose of the survival and division of the underlying assets is to strip the contingent equity, ensure the clear boundary of the injected assets, and strip the real estate and other investments unrelated to the main business, as follows:
1. Divestiture of contingent equity to ensure clear boundary of injected assets
On August 26, 2020, Huajin coking coal filed a lawsuit to Shanxi Higher People’s court with Jining coal industry as the defendant and natural person shareholders Ma Qinxue, Li Haiping, Han Linchun and Li Linping as the third person, claiming that the equity proportion of Jining coal industry held by Huajin coking coal should be adjusted from 51% to 96.87%. The lawsuit has been transferred to Linfen intermediate people’s court for trial. After the transfer, Huajin coking coal changed its claim and listed Jining coal industry, Ma Qinxue, Li Linping, Han Linchun and Li Haiping as co defendants. As of the announcement date of this reply, the proportion of equity that Huajin coking coal (before division) will increase in Jining coal industry after the judgment takes effect (i.e. the final judgment share ratio deducting the 51% shareholding of Huajin coking coal in Jining coal industry, hereinafter referred to as “contingent equity of Jining Coal Industry”).
Therefore, Huajin coking coal stripped off this part of the contingent equity by means of separation, and the contingent equity was not included in the scope of injected assets and valuation in this transaction, so as to ensure that the boundary of injected assets is clear.
2. Divest real estate and other investments unrelated to the main business and focus on the main business
Before the division, Huajin coking coal also held 10% equity of coking coal real estate (now renamed as ” Shanxi Coking Coal Energy Group Co.Ltd(000983) Real Estate Co., Ltd.”) and 3.33% equity of Fenhe property in addition to its main coal business assets. In view of the fact that the real estate development business and property management business involved in coking coal real estate and Fenhe property are not the main business of Huajin coking coal, Huajin coking coal decided to separate the aforesaid equity by means of company division to further focus on the main business.
To sum up, 33% of the equity held by Jinning coal and other real estate companies will be stripped off or injected into Jiaohe Zhongji real estate company, which has no relationship with the investment of Jinning coal and other real estate companies. To sum up, 33% of the equity held by Jinning coal and other real estate companies will be divested at the same time.
