large scale industrial users. Zhejiang Bo Xin’s major sales network covers

with developed local economy and numerous industrial and commercial
enterprises. This area has a strong market demand and the LNG consumption is
expected to have considerable growth potential in the future. Xin Te is
principally engaged in direct supply of LNG to industrial users.

strategic layout of full LNG industry chain and replenished the market share
and influence of the Group in the midstream and downstream market of the LNG
business in the Yangtze River Delta region, enhancing the overall LNG
distribution capacity and sales capacity of the Group. It will be easier to
achieve economies of scale through increasing the total trade volume, thereby
improving the bargaining power of the Group in the upstream market.

 

The Acquisition
will help the Group to achieve cooperation in the Yangtze River Delta region
with upstream gas suppliers and terminals, coupled with the Group’s established
distribution advantages in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and other markets,
the Group will achieve its strategic planning of importing gas from overseas sources
independently in the future and capture more revenue under the great
opportunity of the fast-growing market of imported LNG.”

 

In the past two
years, the Group was committed to develop LNG business in the PRC, and has preliminarily
established its full LNG industrial chain advantage in terms of scale in the
country.

In order to
implement the Group’s market layout strategy of “connecting the south and the
north” along the coast, the Group also focuses on the development of the market
in the Yangtze River Delta. The Group has established good cooperative
relationship with various upstream gas suppliers with a stable gas supply, and
has a direct supply business with large scale industrial users, forming a good
LNG sales capacity.

 

Meanwhile, the
Group also proactively develops overseas gas source and cooperates with
strategic investors to ensure a stable supply with favourable gas sourcing
price. As of the end of 2018, the business of the Group covers 22 provinces and
cities across the country with an end distribution advantage of over 3 million
