The implementation of the project can speed up the industrialization rhythm of the company in rail transit medium speed magnetic levitation traction system, rail transit high-efficiency permanent magnet traction system and rail transit energy-saving energy storage system, form a rail transit industrial production mode with high starting point and complete supporting facilities, so that the company can adapt to the rapid changes and personalized needs of the market and form the core competitiveness of “mechatronics”, Meet the needs of scientific and sustainable development, refinement, strength and expansion of the company.

Project 3: acquire the remaining 29.98% equity of Xiangdian power, and wholly control 100% of Xiangdian power after the transaction is completed. Xiangdian power is the main military product subsidiary of the listed company. Its main business includes military products and civil products. Military products business mainly covers special launch, ship integrated electric propulsion system, etc; Civil products business mainly covers ship power, electric motor control, wind turbine, etc. In 2020, Xiangdian power achieved a revenue of 1.616 billion yuan and a net profit of 119 million yuan; From January to September 2021, the company achieved a revenue of 1.256 billion yuan and a net profit of 107 million yuan. The asset evaluation of Xiangdian power is 2.964 billion yuan, which is 24.90x relative to the net profit PE in 2020, which is beneficial to the existing shareholders relative to its position as the core asset of military industry. After asset injection, it will help to further improve the net profit level of listed companies, strengthen the integration of internal resources and improve the overall quality of assets of listed companies. The general manager of Xiangdian power and the chairman of Tongda electromagnetic energy have become the general manager of listed companies, which may indicate that the company is more focused on military industry. Xiangdian focused military industry is ready to meet the surging industrial trends of all electric ships and electromagnetic launch systems.

Item 4: replenishing working capital can greatly reduce the financial burden of the company. By the end of the third quarter report of 2021, the company’s asset liability ratio was 63.87%, and the short-term loan was 2.987 billion yuan, facing great short-term debt repayment pressure. This replenishment of 898 million yuan can significantly reduce the company’s financial expenses, improve the net profit level and further revitalize the enterprise’s operation.

II. Mechanism level:

The medium and long-term incentive management measures (for Trial Implementation) were issued, the management mechanism was further rationalized, and the performance could be released continuously. We see that the performance of state-owned enterprises such as China Zhenhua (Group) Science & Technology Co.Ltd(000733) , Avic Heavy Machinery Co.Ltd(600765) continues to exceed expectations after equity incentive and improvement of management mechanism, Xiangtan Electric Manufacturing Co.Ltd(600416) is expected to embark on the process of double inflection point of fundamentals and mechanism improvement. The company has established a sound incentive and restraint mechanism and issued medium and long-term incentive management measures, including:

The reward objects cover a wide range: Directors (excluding independent directors), supervisors and senior managers of the company, middle-level and above leaders of all departments (departments, offices and centers) and units (branches, business divisions, wholly-owned subsidiaries and absolute holding subsidiaries).

The reward target is based on the best performance in history: the net profit achieved in the highest year in history (217 million yuan) is used as the reference base for the first implementation of the reward. When the actual annual profit exceeds the base, the medium and long-term reward can be implemented.

Reward proportion: the company determines the growth proportion of the net profit target of the current year according to the specific situation of the market and industry every year, and then determines the reward proportion of excess profit on this basis.

Reward cashing: the company’s medium and long-term rewards will be cashed in cash at one time before the end of June of the next year, and the reward object will purchase shares through the secondary market. The exercise period is 3 years, the lock period is 1 year and the unlock period is 2 years. The unlock ratio is 50% and 50% respectively.
