III. INFORMATION ON THE CAPITAL INJECTION

(I) Basic information on Pipeline Company

The Pipeline Company was established on 21 June 2016 with registered capital of RMB100 million. Currently, it is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Natural Gas Company. Its registered address located at 1-5/F, the Wuhan Control Center of the Sichuan-to-East China Gas Pipeline Project, No. 126 Guanggu Avenue, Donghu New Technology Development Zone, Wuhan City. The Pipeline Company is principally engaged in the construction and operation of natural gas pipelines and auxiliary facilities as well as technology development, technical consultancy and technical services of natural gas storage and transportation.

According to the demand for business development, Sinopec Corp. restructured the relevant assets and businesses of the Sichuan-to-East China Gas Pipeline Project in June 2016, whereby the Pipeline Company undertook relevant assets and businesses of the Sichuan-to-East China Gas Pipeline Project. Currently, the Pipeline Company is the de facto operating entity of the Sichuan-to-East China Gas Pipeline Project.

The Sichuan-to-East China Gas Pipeline Project has a designed transportation capacity of 12 billion cubic meters per year and commenced construction in late August 2007, and achieved all-line connection and commenced operation in 2009. With a total length of 2,229 kilometers, the pipeline includes one trunk line, one special line and five branch lines and covers 6 provinces and 2 directly administered municipalities, namely Sichuan, Chongqing, Hubei, Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.

According to the Pro Forma Financial Statement and Audit Report of the Sichuan-to-East China Gas Pipeline Project of China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation for the six months ended 30 June 2016 and for the years of 2015 and 2014 (the “Audit Report”) issued by PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhong Tian LLP ( “PricewaterhouseCoopers”), which has securities and futures related business qualifications, as of 30 June 2016, the Pipeline Company had total assets of approximately RMB19.633 billion, total liabilities of approximately RMB17.798 billion and net assets of RMB1.835 billion. In the first half of 2016, the operating revenue of the Pipeline Company was approximately RMB2.612 billion and net profit was approximately RMB1.169 billion.

(II) Pricing of the Capital Injection and Analysis on its Fairness and Reasonableness

The Capital Injection was implemented based on the principles of impartiality, fairness,

 
 
5

 

 
openness and transparency. The Company conducted public solicitation of investors on the equity exchange, through multiple rounds of evaluation and competitive negotiations, allowing potential investors to value the Pipeline Company independently and to submit binding offers.

Sinopec Corp. has established an evaluation committee which consisted of experts (“Evaluation Committee”). The Evaluation Committee conducted comprehensive evaluations on the offers submitted by potential investors, and selected the entrants into the next stage of competitive negotiation. After completion of competitive negotiations, the Evaluation Committee conducted a further evaluation on the entrants and selected the final investors. The most important deciding factor during the selection process of the Evaluation Committee is the pricing of the capital injection, followed by the level of recognition of the investment terms and the proposed subscription percentage. In addition, the Evaluation Committee also comprehensively considered factors such as internal and external approval decision-making efficiency and capital operation experiences. Sinopec Corp. has confirmed the list of final investors after evaluation by the Evaluation Committee.

The aggregate amount of Capital Injection is set at a premium of more than 20% above the book value of the Pipeline Company. The added value is mainly due to the comprehensive advantages of the Pipeline Company such as its resources, geographical locations, markets, management and branding, which can provide not only stable return, but also broad prospects of business development. The Investors agree with the future development plan and broad development prospect of the Pipeline Company, and are willing to actively participate in the business operation of the Pipeline Company to realise mutual benefits and win-win situation through the Capital Injection.
