**1.** **INTRODUCTION** 

References are made to the announcement and circular concerning the Existing Framework Agreements published by the Company on 23 October 2019 and 12 November 2019 respectively, in relation to the Existing Framework Agreements signed by the Company, Sinopec Group and Sinopec Corp.. At the 2019 EGM, the then independent shareholders of the Company approved the continuing connected transactions under the Existing Framework Agreements and the relevant annual caps for the two years ended 31 December 2020, 2021 and the year ending 31 December 2022.

**2.** **CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS UNDER THE NEW FRAMEWORK AGREEMENTS** 

**2.1** **Background** 

As the Existing Framework Agreements will expire on 31 December 2022, in order to ensure the normal operation of the Company, the Board resolved on 10 November 2022 to approve (1) the New Mutual Product Supply and Sale Services Framework Agreement and New Comprehensive Services Framework Agreement entered into by the Company, Sinopec Group and Sinopec Corp. for a term of three years expiring on 31 December 2025; and (2) the Financial Services Framework Agreement entered into by the Company and Sinopec Group for a term of one year expiring on 31 December 2023.

Due to the special nature of the industry and the Company's business needs, the Company has, since its initial public offering on 6 July 1993, been conducting various transactions with Sinopec Group, Sinopec Corp. and their associates for, among other things, the purchase of raw materials, the sale of petroleum products, the sale of petrochemical products, the provision of sales agency services for petrochemical products, etc. The Company has also from time to time obtained, in its ordinary and usual course of business, various non-core business services from service providers (including Sinopec Group and its associates) to support and supplement the Company's core business. These services include construction, installation and engineering design services, petrochemical industry insurance services, comprehensive services and financial services. As the Existing Framework Agreements will expire on 31 December 2022 and the Company intends to continue to conduct similar transactions in the future, the Board resolved on 10 November 2022 to approve the New Mutual Product Supply and Sale Services Framework Agreement and New Comprehensive Services Framework Agreement entered into by the Company, Sinopec Group and Sinopec Corp., and the Financial Services Framework Agreement entered into by the Company and Sinopec Group, so as to continue such services. The effectiveness of the transactions under the New Mutual Product Supply and Sale Services Framework Agreement and the New Comprehensive Services Framework Agreement, including the Proposed Annual Caps, is conditional upon the passing of the resolutions at the EGM. The Financial Services Framework Agreement and the transactions under it, including the Proposed Annual Cap, shall comply with the reporting and announcement requirements, but are exempt from the circular and Independent Shareholders' approval requirements.

Comprehensive services is the new category of Continuing Connected Transactions between the Group and Sinopec Group from 2023 to 2025. The historical figures of comprehensive services for each of the two years ended 31 December 2021 and six months ended 30 June 2022 were RMB28,557.4 thousand, RMB31,287.7 thousand and RMB7,158.6 thousand respectively.

**2.4** **The connected persons and their relationships** 

As at the date of this announcement, Sinopec Corp. holds 5,459,455,000 A shares of the Company, representing approximately 50.44% of the Company's issued share capital, and it is therefore the controlling Shareholder of the Company. Sinopec Group is the controlling shareholder of Sinopec Corp., directly and indirectly holding 68.98% equity interest of its issued share capital and is the de facto controller of the Company. Therefore, according to the Hong Kong Listing Rules and the Shanghai Listing Rules, Sinopec Group, Sinopec Corp. and their respective associates are all connected persons of the Company.

The relationship among Sinopec Group, Sinopec Corp. and Company, as well as the de facto controller of the Company are set out below:

![LOGO](g427534dsp005.jpg)

\* Includes 767,916,000 H shares of Sinopec Corp. held by Sinopec Century Bright Capital Investment Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sinopec Group, through HKSCC (Nominees) Limited.

In addition, an associate of Sinopec Corp. holds 22.67% equity interest in one of the Company's subsidiaries, China Jinshan Associated Trading Corporation ("**Jinshan Associated Trading**"). Therefore, Jinshan Associated Trading is a connected subsidiary of the Company pursuant to Rule 14A.16 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules.

**2.5** **Reasons for and benefits of the Continuing Connected Transactions, pricing policies and the calculation basis of the Proposed Annual Caps** 

***2.5.1 Purchase of raw materials***

***Reasons and benefits:*** The Group produces over 60 different types of products representing a broad range of synthetic fibers, resins and plastics, intermediate petrochemicals and petroleum products. Each of these products is created from the chemical processing of crude oil, naphtha, ethylene, propylene, aromatics and other intermediate petrochemicals. In order to ensure a steady, orderly, continuing and efficient operation of the Company, since the Company's initial public offering on 6 July 1993, the Company has been purchasing and will continue to purchase most of petrochemical raw materials (such as crude oil, naphtha, ethylene, etc.) and other materials and goods (such as spare parts) from or via Sinopec Corp. and its associates at market prices, for producing various types of products. The Company has also been utilising the crude oil reserves of Sinopec Group by borrowing and purchasing crude oil from Sinopec Commercial Reserve Co., Ltd. ("**Sinopec Reserve**") according to the Company's production plans, stocks of crude oil and predictions on the market.

------

As the Group does not possess reserves of crude oil and other raw materials, it is necessary for the Group to continue to purchase raw materials to ensure continuing operation of its business. The oil and petrochemical industry in the PRC has always been subject to extensive regulations by the PRC government which implements a regulation on issuing licences to qualified crude oil business operators. The Group may only purchase crude oil from licensed crude oil suppliers. Sinopec Group, Sinopec Corp. and their associates (e.g. China International United Petroleum & Chemicals Co., Ltd. and Sinopec Reserve) are licensed crude oil suppliers. In addition, Sinopec Group, Sinopec Corp. and their associates have large crude oil storage tanks and pipeline transportation facilities which are close to the Group's production site. The Company considers that using the pipelines and facilities of Sinopec Group, Sinopec Corp. and their associates to import crude oil ensures a stable and secure supply of crude oil and reduces storage and transportation costs of crude oil.

The Group has been purchasing petrochemical raw materials (such as crude oil, naphtha, ethylene, etc.) and other materials and goods at market prices from or via Sinopec Corp. and its associates (including China International United Petroleum & Chemicals Co., Ltd., Shanghai SECCO Petrochemical Company Limited, etc.). The Company considers that an interruption of raw materials supply from Sinopec Corp. would cause difficulties to and increase costs of the operation of the Group, and therefore have a material adverse impact on the Group's production of its petroleum products and petrochemical products. The Group has also been utilising the crude oil reserves of Sinopec Reserve by purchasing and borrowing crude oil from Sinopec Reserve, which allows the Group to reduce its stock of crude oil, and to adjust and optimise its stock of crude oil according to production plans, stock status of crude oil and predictions on market demand.

Accordingly, the Board is of the view that reliability and stability of supply of raw materials are crucial to the safe, steady, long-term, fully-loaded and optimised operation of the Company and it is in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole to continue the purchase and borrowing of raw materials from or via Sinopec Group, Sinopec Corp. and their associates.

***Pricing Policies:*** Pursuant to the New Mutual Product Supply and Sale Services Framework Agreement, the purchase of petrochemical raw materials (such as crude oil, naphtha, ethylene, etc.) and other materials and goods from or via Sinopec Group, Sinopec Corp. and their associates are priced in accordance with the following pricing policies:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) if there are applicable State (central and local governments) tariffs, the pricing of the Company's
purchases shall follow the State tariffs;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) if there are no State tariffs, but if there are applicable State's guidance prices, the pricing of the
Company's purchases shall follow the State's guidance prices; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) if there are no applicable State tariffs or State's guidance prices, the pricing of the Company's
purchases shall be determined in accordance with the prevailing market prices (including any bidding prices).

In particular:

As at the date of this announcement, there are no applicable State (central and local governments) tariffs or guidance prices in relation to the raw materials purchased from or via Sinopec Group, Sinopec Corp. and their associates. The price of raw materials shall therefore be determined in accordance with the prevailing market prices.

The price of crude oil purchased from Sinopec Corp. and its associates are determined on the basis of prevailing market prices at which Sinopec Corp. and its associates acquire crude oil from the open market plus an agency fee. The agency fee is determined in accordance with prevailing market commission rates for agency purchases of crude oil from the open market and the actual transaction amounts. The Company closely tracks the market and chooses the type and quantity of crude oil on its own, leaving the price to be decided by the market.

The FOB of crude oil purchased from Sinopec Group and its associates (such as Sinopec Reserve) is determined by the average import FOB of that type of crude oil one month before crude oil is planned for delivery from stocks (pricing month); the freight is determined by the average freight of Sinopec Group and its associates in the pricing month; and the exchange rate is calculated at the exchange rate on the first trading day of the month in which crude oil is planned for delivery from stocks. The fee of usage of crude oil borrowed by the Company is calculated on the basis of the costs of purchase such as CIF, miscellaneous delivery expenses, insurance expenses and taxes for the same type of the borrowed crude oil in the month of borrowing the crude oil (borrowing month), and the interest of the fee is calculated on the basis of the interest rate for a six-month loan as announced by the PBOC during the borrowing month.

The price of other petrochemical raw materials (other than crude oil) purchased from Sinopec Group, Sinopec Corp. and their associates is determined in accordance with the order price or contract price of external sales, taking into account of factors, such as freight rate and quality.

The price of other raw materials and goods (such as spare parts) is determined through price enquiry and comparison on the relevant price websites or by referring to the prices of similar transactions in surrounding markets or by tender through the e-commerce system.

The Company will settle the payment for its raw material purchases by way of cash in accordance with the payment terms set out in each of the individual contracts for the purchase of such raw materials.

------

***The calculation basis of the Proposed Annual Caps:***

The Proposed Annual Caps for the three years ending 31 December 2023, 2024 and 2025 are determined with reference to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the previous transactions' terms and amounts in respect of purchases of raw materials from or via Sinopec
Group, Sinopec Corp. and their associates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) considering the significant fluctuation of crude oil prices in the last few years, the Company's estimate
of the impact of possible price fluctuations on crude oil and other major raw materials brought by geopolitical factors, fluctuation of exchange rate and speculative funds in the international capital market;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the Company's estimate of its business growth;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) the Company's estimate that the exchange rate of RMB to USD may fluctuate in the future;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Based on the crude oil prices in recent years (the average price of Brent crude oil on the InterContinental
Exchange for 2019-2021 was USD64.18/barrel, USD43.18/barrel and USD70.52/barrel, respectively) and with reference to the projections by various professional institutions, the Proposed Annual Caps are determined on the Brent crude oil price of
USD104/barrel for the three years ending 31 December 2023, 2024 and 2025 (which are the average projections by the professional institutions) and the estimated exchange rate of USD1:RMB7.40; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The Company plans to construct Shanghai Petrochemical Thermal Power Unit Cleaning and Efficiency Improvement
Project, Shanghai Petrochemical 24,000 ton/year Precursor, 12,000 ton/year 48K Large Tow Carbon Fiber Project and other environmentally friendly and energy-saving technological upgrade projects. Construction and operation of the abovementioned
projects will further increase the Company's demand for raw materials and goods.

***2.5.2 Sale of petroleum products and petrochemical products***

***Reasons and benefits:*** Transactions involving sale and purchase of petroleum products including gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and liquefied petroleum gas, etc., are subject to regulations by the PRC government which implements a regulation on issuing licences to qualified petroleum products business operators. The Group is only allowed to sell petroleum products to companies with the licenses to sell and purchase petroleum products including gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and liquefied petroleum gas, etc.. Sinopec Corp. and its associates (e.g. Sinopec Huadong Sales Company Limited) are licensed petroleum products business operators. Hence, since the Company's initial public offering on 6 July 1993, the Company has been selling and will continue to sell petroleum products to Sinopec Corp. and its associates. In addition, Sinopec Corp. and its associates own widespread sales network for petroleum products and possess a fairly high market share in domestic petroleum product market. Therefore, selling petroleum products to Sinopec Corp. and its associates would help the Company benefit from their solid commercial network and improve the Company ' s competitiveness. In addition to sale of petroleum products, the Company had in the past in the ordinary and usual course of its business sold certain petrochemical products, including butadiene, benzene and EO etc., to Sinopec Corp. and its associates.

------

The Company is of the view that the sale of petrochemical products to Sinopec Corp. and its associates at market price reduces the needs for a prolonged storage of its petrochemical products in its inventory, optimises its operation, largely reduces impact of fluctuation of market demand and ensures stable profits. In addition, as the Company has already established an amicable customer-supplier relationship with Sinopec Corp., it believes that an alliance with a reputable international petrochemical corporation such as Sinopec Corp. can promote the retention of the existing product users and the development and market expansion for the products of the Group.

Therefore, the Board is of the view that it is in the overall interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole to continue to sell petroleum products and petrochemical products to Sinopec Corp. and its associates at market prices.

***Pricing Policies:*** Pursuant to the New Mutual Product Supply and Sale Services Framework Agreement, the sale of petroleum products and petrochemical products to Sinopec Corp. and its associates is determined in accordance with the following pricing policies:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) if there are applicable State (central and local governments) tariffs, the pricing of the Company's sales
shall follow the State tariffs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) if there are no State tariffs, but if there are applicable State's guidance prices, the pricing of the
Company's sales shall follow the State's guidance prices; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) if there are no applicable State tariffs or State's guidance prices, the pricing of the Company's
sales shall be determined in accordance with the prevailing market prices (including any bidding prices).

In particular:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(i)* *State tariffs and State's guidance prices* 

The price charged by the Company in relation to the sale of petroleum products to Sinopec Corp. and its associates are constrained by the relevant pricing requirements stipulated by the relevant government authorities, and the State tariffs and State's guidance prices provide pricing references to the price charged by the Company.

------

The government pricing for different products is determined based on the following:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Types of product with State tariffs or State's guidance prices** | **Primary basis for pricing** |
|  Petroleum products<br>(Gasoline, diesel)<br>| According to the Circular of the National Development and Reform Commission on Further Improving the Pricing Mechanism of Refined Oil (Fa Gai Jia Ge 【 2016 】 No.64) (《進一步完善成品油價格形成機制有關問 題 的 通 知 》 (發 改 價 格 【 2016 】 64 號)) issued by the National Development and Reform Commission on 13 January 2016 and the Rules for Pricing of Petroleum Management Method 《 石 油 價 格 管 理 辦 法 》 issued on the same day, and the Notice on the Implementation of Periodic Price Subsidies after the International Oil Price Reaches the Upper Control Limit (Cai Jian 【2022】No. 185) (《關於做好國際油價觸 及調控上限後實施階段性價格補貼有關工 作 的 通 知 》 (財 建 【 2022 】 185 號)) issued by the Ministry of Finance and the National Development and Reform Commission on June 14, 2022, the retail price and wholesale price of gasoline and diesel, as well as the supply price of gasoline and diesel to special users such as social wholesale enterprises, railway and transportation, etc., shall be State's guidance prices; the supply price of gasoline and diesel to the national reserve and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, shall be State tariffs. The price of gasoline and diesel may be adjusted every ten working days with reference to the changes in the international market price of crude oil. The National Development and Reform Commission publishes the information on adjustments by information release. |
| Jet fuel | According to the Circular of the National Development and Reform Commission on the Market Price of Jet Fuel (Fa Gai Jia Ge 【2015】 No.329)(《國家發展改革委關於航空煤油出廠 價格市場化改革有關問題的通知》(發改價格 【 2015 】 329 號 issued by the National Development and Reform Commission on 15 February 2015, the price of jet fuel is determined in accordance with the CIF cum tax price for jet fuel imports from the Singapore market. |

---

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(ii)* *Prevailing market prices* 

As at the date of this announcement, there are no applicable State (central and local 11 governments) tariffs or guidance prices in relation to the petrochemical products sold by the Company. The price of petrochemical products sold by the Company shall therefore be determined in accordance with the order price or contract price of external sales, taking into account of factors, such as freight rate and quality.

Sinopec Corp. and its associates will settle payment for their purchases of the petroleum products and petrochemical products by way of cash in accordance with the payment terms set out in each of the individual contracts.

***The calculation basis of the Proposed Annual Caps:***

The Proposed Annual Caps for the three years ending 31 December 2023, 2024 and 2025 are determined with reference to:

(a) the previous transactions' terms and amounts in respect of the sale of petroleum products and
petrochemical products to Sinopec Corp. and its associates; and

(b) with the significant fluctuation of crude oil prices in the last few years, the Company considers the impact of
possible price fluctuations on crude oil brought by geopolitical factors, fluctuation of exchange rate and speculative funds in the international capital market. The consequential fluctuations on the cost of petroleum products and petrochemical
products will in turn bring up the uncertainty in transaction prices.

***2.5.3***  ***Agency sale of petrochemical products*** 

***Reasons and benefits:*** In the ordinary and usual course of the Company's business, the Company has in the past entered into sale arrangements with its agents pursuant to which the agents will, on behalf of the Company, procure purchasers for the Company's petrochemical products, including resins, synthetic fiber monomers and polymers, synthetic fibers, intermediate petrochemicals, by-products of ethylene crackers and aromatics complex, as well as off-spec products related to the aforementioned five types of products, on a commission basis. Trading, distribution and marketing of the Group's products are important elements in the success of the business of the Group. Sinopec Corp. is one of the largest petrochemical companies in the world and has a strong global trading, distribution and marketing network. The Company considers that by appointing Sinopec Corp. and its associates as its sales agents, it will benefit from Sinopec Corp.'s experience, expertise and strong global network, increase the sales of its petrochemical products, avoid peer competition and further improve the Company's bargaining position with customers.

***Pricing Policies:*** Pursuant to the New Mutual Product Supply and Sale Services Framework Agreement, the commissions payable to Sinopec Corp. and its associates for the agency sale of the Company's petrochemical products are based on the number of products for agency sale with reference to the prevailing market commission rates.

The Company will pay the commissions by cash generally on a monthly basis.

------

***The calculation basis of the Proposed Annual Caps:***

The Proposed Annual Caps for the three years ending 31 December 2023, 2024 and 2025 are determined with reference to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the previous transactions' terms and amounts in respect of agency sale of petrochemical products through
Sinopec Corp. and its associates; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the Company's estimate of the change in the production volume of petrochemical products.

***2.5.4***  ***Construction, installation and engineering design services*** 

***Reasons and benefits:*** In order to upgrade and optimise existing products and processes and to develop and improve new technology, products, processes and equipment relating to its business, the Company maintains several technology development centers and research institutes. The detailed designs and implementation of such designs are carried out by external service providers. Since the Company's initial public offering on 6 July 1993, the Group has from time to time obtained, in the ordinary and usual course of its business, construction, installation and engineering design services from external service providers including Ningbo Engineering Company of Sinopec and Sinopec Shanghai Engineering Co., Ltd., most of which are subsidiaries of Sinopec Engineering (Group) Co., Ltd.

The Company is of the view that Sinopec Group and its associates have consistently been able to meet the Company's stringent demands for highly technical design as well as construction and installation specifications, and timely delivery of services. As the Company considers that having reliable and co-operative service providers is important and beneficial to the Company, obtaining services from Sinopec Group and its associates allows the Company to ensure timely completion of its future projects while maintaining the requisite quality. In addition, obtaining construction, installation and engineering design services from Sinopec Group and its associates will minimise the risk of leakage of intellectual property and trade secrets to third parties in the process of providing such services.

***Pricing Policies:*** Pursuant to the New Comprehensive Services Framework Agreement, the fees payable to Sinopec Group and its associates in relation to the provision of construction, installation and engineering design services are priced with reference to the prevailing market prices. In determining whether the consideration is in line with prevailing market prices, the Company will refer to the bidding prices quoted by at least two independent third parties providing services with comparable scale where such services were provided under normal trading conditions. Due to the unique nature of engineering design services, it may not be feasible to obtain quotations from more than two independent service providers and the Group will refer to the prices of at least two transactions of similar nature. Following receipt of the quotation, the Group will compare and negotiate the price and terms of the quotation on an arm's length basis, and select service providers by taking into account of factors such as price quotations, quality of the products and services, particular needs of the project, technical advantages of the service providers, ability of the service providers in meeting delivery schedules and to continuously provide the services, and qualifications and relevant experiences

of the service providers.

------

The Company will settle the fees by cash in accordance with the payment terms set out in each of the individual service contracts for the provision of such services.

***The calculation basis of the Proposed Annual Caps:***

The Proposed Annual Caps for the three years ending 31 December 2023, 2024 and 2025 are determined with reference to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the previous transactions' terms and amounts in respect of the provision of construction, installation and
engineering design services by Sinopec Group and its associates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the Company's estimate of the construction, installation and engineering design services costs which are
required to satisfy its existing and future development;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the Company's estimate of the increase in the market prices of construction, installation and engineering
design services based on the historical economic data and data in relation to the future economic growth in the PRC. For each of the two years ended 31 December 2020 and 2021 and for the six months ended 30 June 2022, China's GDP
growth was 2.3%, 8.1% and 2.5%, respectively, while the CPI was 2.5%, 0.9% and 1.7%. China's labor costs have increased year by year. In determining the Proposed Annual Caps for the three years ending 31 December 2023, 2024 and 2025, the
Company estimates that the market price of construction, installation and engineering design services will further increase due to the expected economic growth and inflation in China; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Company plans to construct projects on Shanghai Petrochemical Thermal Power Unit Cleaning and Efficiency
Improvement Project, Shanghai Petrochemical 24,000 ton/year Precursor, 12,000 ton/year 48K Large Tow Carbon Fiber Project and other environmentally friendly and energy-saving technological upgrade projects. According to the Company's current
project investment plan, the capital expenditure for the abovementioned projects from 2023 to 2025 are expected to be over RMB1.3 billion/year. The implementation of the abovementioned projects is subject to the approval of relevant PRC government
authorities.

***2.5.5***  ***Petrochemical industry insurance agency services*** 

***Reasons and benefits:*** Since the Company's initial public offering on 6 July 1993, the Company has been, in the ordinary and usual course of its business, using insurance services provided by Sinopec Group for the property insurance cover on the operation of the Company. Captive insurance has been widely adopted in the petrochemical industry. The Ministry of Finance has already granted approval for Sinopec Group to provide captive insurance services to its affiliates. The Company is of the view that maintaining a suitable insurance coverage for the Company's operation is important and will minimise the Company's risk exposure. Obtaining insurance services from Sinopec Group allows the Company to secure essential insurance coverage for its operation and is therefore beneficial to the Company.

------

***Pricing Policies:*** Pursuant to the New Comprehensive Services Framework Agreement, the premium payable to Sinopec Group and its associates in relation to the provision of petrochemical industry insurance services are priced according to the relevant regulations promulgated by the Ministry of Finance and Sinopec Group (including the Safety Production Insurance Fund Document jointly issued in 1997 by the Ministry of Finance and the former Sinopec Group) and based on the valuation of the fixed assets and the assets list of the Company. Under the Safety Production Insurance Fund Document, the Company pays the insurance premium twice a year by cash, representing the maximum of 0.2% of the average inventory value in the previous six months and the value of fixed assets of the Company (according to statutory requirements by the Chinese government) after deduction of certain items which are not covered by the captive insurance.

***The calculation basis of the Proposed Annual Caps:***

The Proposed Annual Caps for the three years ending 31 December 2023, 2024 and 2025 are determined with reference to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the previous transactions' terms and amounts in respect of the provision of petrochemical industry
insurance services by Sinopec Group; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the Company's estimate of the change in the value of its facilities in view of the Company's existing
and future development.

***2.5.6***  ***Property leasing*** 

***Reasons and benefits:*** In 2004, the Company purchased the property rights of the 16th to 28th floors of Huamin Empire Plaza, No. 728 Yan'an Road West, Shanghai, to be used as the Company's city office while part of the property was leased out. In 2007, the Company decided to lease the property to Sinopec Corp. and its associates considering their strong financial background.

Part of the property is leased to Sinopec Corp. and its associates. Taking into account of (i) the solid financial background and reputation of Sinopec Corp. and (ii) the fact that Sinopec Corp. has a long-term stable demand for property leasing services, the Board proposed that the Company should continue to lease the property to Sinopec Corp. and its associates in the future.

***Pricing Policies:*** Pursuant to the New Comprehensive Services Framework Agreement, the leasing of property to Sinopec Corp. and its associates is priced with reference to the then prevailing market prices and at a rate that is no less favourable than the rental of other similar or comparable spaces and/or units in Huamin Empire Plaza that the Company charges to independent third parties.

services; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) According to the Company's future development plan and project planning, the costs related to financial,
human resources and information technology sharing services are expected to increase further.

***2.5.8***  ***Financial services*** 

***Reasons and benefits:*** Sinopec Finance is a non-bank finance company approved and regulated by the PBOC and China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission ("**CBIRC**") and is an associate of Sinopec Group. The Company has been obtaining from Sinopec Finance certain financial services including settlement services, loan services, financing lease services, bill acceptance or discounting services, guarantee services, and any other services provided by Sinopec Finance as approved by the CBIRC.

The Company considers that having reliable and co-operative financial services are important to its business as the nature of the Company's business means that transactions often involve payment of large sums of money. Through this transaction, the Company is able to obtain timely financial services, such as loan facilities, discounted notes, settlement services and so forth. In addition, the customized preferential policies save financial expenses of the Company and increase the settlement efficiency among Sinopec companies, thereby ensuring fund security within the system and reducing risks posed to the fund of the Company. The financial services provided by Sinopec Finance have always been for the benefit of the Company and are, in the Company's opinion, generally on no less favourable terms as compared to the terms offered by other financial institutions.

***Pricing Policies:*** The fees payable by the Company to Sinopec Finance under the Financial Services Framework Agreement will be no less favourable than the applicable fees specified by the PBOC and the CBIRC for the relevant services from time to time. If neither the PBOC nor the CBIRC has specified a fee or charge for a particular service, the services will be provided by Sinopec Finance on terms no less favorable than terms available from the major commercial banks or financial institutions in China. In determining whether the terms offered by Sinopec Finance is no less favourable, the Company will compare the terms with at least two transactions of a similar type with, or two quotes obtained from, major commercial banks or financial institutions which are independent third parties. The Company will ensure that the Company ' s interests are fully protected by controlling and examining the cost of financial services provided to the Company.

------

The Company will settle the fees by cash in accordance with the payment terms set out in each of the individual financing agreements to be entered into with Sinopec Finance for the provision of such financial services.

***The calculation basis of the Proposed Annual Cap:***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Company's estimate of its business scale;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Company's volume of transactions involving the use of financial services;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Company obtained a number of loans (such as short-term loans and project loans) and continued to obtain
discounted notes from Sinopec Finance. Due to the increase in profits over the past two years, the Company has sufficient working capital for operation and there is little demand for external financing; and

Project, Shanghai Petrochemical 24,000 ton/year Precursor, 12,000 ton/year 48K Large Tow Carbon Fiber Project and other environmentally friendly and energy-saving technological upgrade projects. Completion of such projects will further increase the
production scale of the Company and increase demand of working capital of the Company. In addition, the Company has taken into account of the initial working capital of the projects that may be put into operation in the next year, as well as the
additional working capital required for the expansion of the Company's production scale. In determining the Proposed Annual Cap, the Company has considered its working capital and external financing to meet the funding needs. The Company
expects to obtain approximately RMB3 billions of project loans and approximately RMB3 billions of ordinary loans and discounted notes from Sinopec Finance for the year ending 31 December 2023. In determining the Proposed Annual Cap, the Company
has estimated that the interest rates on these loans are 90% of the current interest rates issued by the PBOC.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Where the pricing for Continuing Connected Transactions is determined with reference to the prevailing market
prices or market commission rates, the Company has set up a Price Management Committee that is responsible for the overall pricing management. The sales department of the Company is responsible for collecting and compiling price information. It
compares and analyses market prices for the same types of transactions in the same industry and provides a forecast on the trend of market prices. In the second half of every month, the finance department holds a meeting with sales department and
other related departments to analyse and discuss the market conditions and propose a price adjustment draft plan for the next month. This plan will be further reviewed by the sales department and submitted to the Price Management Committee of the

**Announcement in relation to Investment in the Construction of Cleanliness and Efficiency Improvement Project for Thermal Power Units** 

The board of directors and all directors of the Company guarantee that there are no false records, misleading statements or major omissions in the contents of this announcement, and assume legal liabilities for the authenticity, accuracy and integrity of its contents.

Important notes:

Name of the investment project: the cleanliness and efficiency improvement project for thermal power units of Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limited(the "**Project**").

Total investment amount: approximately RMB3.388 billion.

Reminder for special risks: the Project is subject to approval at the general meeting of the shareholders of Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limited (the "**Shanghai Petrochemical**" or "**Company**"). There may be the risks of delay in the Project due to factors such as suppliers, engineering technology, administrative licensing and force majeure.

**1.** **Introduction of the Project** 

In order to meet the national requirements on energy conservation and consumption reduction and the relevant requirements of the "14th Five-Year Plan for Energy Development in Shanghai", and taking into account the current operating condition of the Company's thermal power units, Shanghai Petrochemical proposes to invest in the construction of four sets of highly efficient coal-fired heating units to replace the existing coal-fired heating units. The investment amount of the Project is expected to be approximately RMB3.388 billion.

The Project was considered and approved at the 24th meeting of the tenth session of the board of directors of the Company on 10 November 2022 and is subject to be considered and approved at the general meeting of shareholders of the Company.

The Project does not constitute a connected transaction or major asset restructuring.

------

**2.** **Basic Information of the Project** 

(1) Project name: the cleanliness and efficiency improvement project for thermal power units of Sinopec Shanghai
Petrochemical Company Limited.

(2) Investor: Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limited.

(3) The main content of the Project: installation of four sets of 70MW highly efficient coal-fired heating units to
replace the existing 425MW coal-fired heating units.

(4) Investment amount and funding source: the Company plans to invest approximately RMB3.388 billion, which shall
be raised by the Company on its own.

(5) Project construction period: the project construction period is about 3 years.

(6) Market positioning and feasibility analysis: after the Project is put into operation, it will ensure heat
supply, alleviate power shortage, and improve the reliability of power supply of Shanghai Petrochemical and the production safety of its petrochemical plants.

The completion of the Project will help reduce pollutant emissions, carbon emissions and the maximum annual coal consumption, which are in alignment with the "dual carbon" policies of the national and Shanghai governments. The intended benefits of environmental protection and energy conservation are outstanding.

**3.** **Impact of investment in the Project on the Company** 

The Project can help the Company to significantly reduce its coal consumption and energy consumption of its thermal power units, cut carbon emissions and pollutant emissions, significantly reduce the Company's electricity and heating costs, and improve the Company's overall economic benefits. The implementation of the Project will not lead to changes in the Company's principal business.

**4.** **Analysis of Investment Risks** 

The Project may be affected by factors such as suppliers, engineering technology, administrative licensing and force majeure, so there may be risks of delay. The Company will try its best to communicate with relevant suppliers, service providers and government agencies to avoid delay. In case of delay, the Company will actively cope with the situation to minimize its loss.

**LETTER FROM THE BOARD**

**II.** **CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS UNDER THE NEW FRAMEWORK AGREEMENTS** 

**1.** **INTRODUCTION** 

References are made to the announcement and circular concerning the Existing Framework Agreements published by the Company on 23 October 2019 and 12 November 2019 respectively, in relation to the Existing Framework Agreements signed by the Company, Sinopec Group and Sinopec Corp.. At the 2019 EGM, the then independent shareholders of the Company approved the continuing connected transactions under the Existing Framework Agreements and the relevant annual caps for the two years ended 31 December 2020, 2021 and the year ending 31 December 2022.

**2.** **CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS UNDER THE NEW FRAMEWORK AGREEMENTS** 

**2.1** **Background** 

As the Existing Framework Agreements will expire on 31 December 2022, in order to ensure the normal operation of the Company, the Board resolved on 10 November 2022 to approve (1) the New Mutual Product Supply and Sale Services Framework Agreement and the New Comprehensive Services Framework Agreement entered into by the Company, Sinopec Group and Sinopec Corp. for a term of three years expiring on 31 December 2025; and (2) the Financial Services Framework Agreement entered into by the Company and Sinopec Group for a term of one year expiring on 31 December 2023.

Due to the special nature of the industry and the Company ' s business needs, the Company has, since its initial public offering on 6 July 1993, been conducting various transactions with Sinopec Group, Sinopec Corp. and their associates for, among other things, the purchase of raw materials, the sale of petroleum products, the sale of petrochemical products, the provision of sales agency services for petrochemical products, etc. The Company has also from time to time obtained, in its ordinary and usual course of business, various non-core business services from service providers (including Sinopec Group and its associates) to support and supplement the Company's core business. These services include construction, installation and engineering design services, petrochemical industry insurance services, comprehensive services and financial services. As the Existing Framework Agreements will expire on 31 December 2022 and the Company intends to continue to conduct similar transactions in the future, the Board resolved on 10 November 2022 to approve the New Mutual Product Supply and Sale Services Framework Agreement and the New Comprehensive Services Framework Agreement entered into by the Company, Sinopec Group and Sinopec Corp., and the Financial Services Framework Agreement entered into by the Company and Sinopec Group, so as to continue such services. The effectiveness of the transactions under the New Mutual Product Supply and Sale Services Framework Agreement and the New Comprehensive Services Framework Agreement, including the Proposed Annual Caps, is conditional upon the passing of the resolutions at the EGM. The Financial Services Framework Agreement and the transactions under it, including the Proposed Annual Cap, shall comply with the reporting and announcement requirements, but are exempt from the circular and Independent Shareholders' approval requirements.

**2.5** **Reasons for and benefits of the Continuing Connected Transactions, pricing policies and the calculation basis of the Proposed Annual Caps** 

***2.5.1 Purchase of raw materials***

**Reasons and benefits:** The Group produces over 60 different types of products representing a broad range of synthetic fibers, resins and plastics, intermediate petrochemicals and petroleum products. Each of these products is created from the chemical processing of crude oil, naphtha, ethylene, propylene, aromatics and other intermediate petrochemicals. In order to ensure a steady, orderly, continuing and efficient operation of the Company, since the Company's initial public offering on 6 July 1993, the Company has been purchasing and will continue to purchase most of petrochemical raw materials (such as crude oil, naphtha, ethylene, etc.) and other materials and goods (such as spare parts) from or via Sinopec Corp. and its associates at market prices, for producing various types of products. The Company has also been utilising the crude oil reserves of Sinopec Group by borrowing and purchasing crude oil from Sinopec Commercial Reserve Co., Ltd. ("**Sinopec Reserve**") according to the Company' s production plans, stocks of crude oil and predictions on the market.

As the Group does not possess reserves of crude oil and other raw materials, it is necessary for the Group to continue to purchase raw materials to ensure continuing operation of its business. The oil and petrochemical industry in the PRC has always been subject to extensive regulations by the PRC government which implements a regulation on issuing licences to the qualified crude oil business operators. The Group may only purchase crude oil from licensed crude oil suppliers. Sinopec Group, Sinopec Corp. and their associates (e.g. China International United Petroleum & Chemicals Co., Ltd. and Sinopec Reserve) are licensed crude oil suppliers. In addition, Sinopec Group, Sinopec Corp. and their associates have large crude oil storage tanks and pipeline transportation facilities which are close to the Group ' s production site. The Company considers that using the pipelines and facilities of Sinopec Group, Sinopec Corp. and their associates to import crude oil ensures a stable and secure supply of crude oil and reduces storage and transportation costs of crude oil.

The Group has been purchasing petrochemical raw materials (such as crude oil, naphtha, ethylene, etc.) and other materials and goods at market prices from or via Sinopec Corp. and its associates (including China International United Petroleum & Chemicals Co., Ltd., Shanghai SECCO Petrochemical Company Limited, etc.). The Company considers that an interruption of raw materials supply from Sinopec Corp. would cause difficulties to and increase costs of the operation of the Group, and therefore have a material adverse impact on the Group ' s production of its petroleum products and petrochemical products. The Group has also been utilising the crude oil reserves of Sinopec Reserve by purchasing and borrowing crude oil from Sinopec Reserve, which allows the Group to reduce its stock of crude oil, and to adjust and optimise its stock of crude oil according to production plans, stock status of crude oil and predictions on market demand.

Accordingly, the Board is of the view that reliability and stability of supply of raw materials are crucial to the safe, steady, long-term, fully-loaded and optimised operation of the Company and it is in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole to continue the purchase and borrowing of raw materials from or via Sinopec Group, Sinopec Corp. and their associates.

**Pricing Policies:** Pursuant to the New Mutual Product Supply and Sale Services Framework Agreement, the purchase of petrochemical raw materials (such as crude oil, naphtha, ethylene, etc.) and other materials and goods from or via Sinopec Group, Sinopec Corp. and their associates are priced in accordance with the following pricing policies:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) if there are applicable State (central and local governments) tariffs, the pricing of the Company's
purchases shall follow the State tariffs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) if there are no State tariffs, but if there are applicable State's guidance prices, the pricing of the
Company's purchases shall follow the State's guidance prices; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) if there are no applicable State tariffs or State's guidance prices, the pricing of the Company's
purchases shall be determined in accordance with the prevailing market prices (including any bidding prices).

In particular:

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there are no applicable State (central and local governments) tariffs or guidance prices in relation to the raw materials purchased from or via Sinopec Group, Sinopec Corp. and their associates. The price of raw materials shall therefore be determined in accordance with the prevailing market prices.

The price of crude oil purchased from Sinopec Corp. and its associates are determined on the basis of prevailing market prices at which Sinopec Corp. and its associates acquire crude oil from the open market plus an agency fee. In principle, the prevailing market price of crude oil is determined on the price of benchmark crude oil quoted by the international common practice on each regional market, namely of Dated Brent, Dubai, Dubai & Oman or DME Oman, etc. The agency fee is determined in accordance with prevailing market commission rates for agency purchases of crude oil from the open market and the actual transaction amounts. The Company closely tracks the market and chooses the type and quantity of crude oil on its own, leaving the price to be decided by the market. The Company has established procedures and internal control mechanisms related to the pricing and terms of Continuing Connected Transactions. For details, please refer to page 26 of this circular.

The FOB of crude oil purchased from Sinopec Group and its associates (such as Sinopec Reserve) is determined by the average import FOB of that type of crude oil one month before crude oil is planned for delivery from stocks (pricing month); the freight is determined by the average freight of Sinopec Group and its associates in the pricing month; and the exchange rate is calculated at the exchange rate on the first trading day of the month in which crude oil is planned for delivery from stocks. The fee of usage of crude oil borrowed by the Company is calculated on the basis of the costs of purchase such as CIF, miscellaneous delivery expenses, insurance expenses and taxes for the same type of the borrowed crude oil in the month of borrowing the crude oil (borrowing month), and the interest of the fee is calculated on the basis of the interest rate for a six-month loan as announced by the PBOC during the borrowing month.

The price of other petrochemical raw materials (other than crude oil) purchased from Sinopec Group, Sinopec Corp. and their associates is determined in accordance with the order price or contract price of external sales, taking into account of factors, such as freight rate and quality.

The price of other raw materials and goods (such as spare parts) is determined through price enquiry and comparison on the relevant price websites or by referring to the prices of similar transactions in surrounding markets or by tender through the e-commerce system.

The Company will settle the payment for its raw material purchases by way of cash in accordance with the payment terms set out in each of the individual contracts for the purchase of such raw materials.

**The calculation basis of the Proposed Annual Caps:** 

The Proposed Annual Caps for the three years ending 31 December 2023, 2024 and 2025 are determined with reference to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the previous transactions' terms and amounts in respect of purchases of raw materials from or via Sinopec
Group, Sinopec Corp. and their associates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) considering the significant fluctuation of crude oil prices in the last few years, the Company's estimate
of the impact of possible price fluctuations on crude oil and other major raw materials brought by geopolitical factors, fluctuation of exchange rate and speculative funds in the international capital market;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the Company's estimate of its business growth;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) the Company's estimate that the exchange rate of RMB to USD may fluctuate in the future;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Based on the crude oil prices in recent years (the average price of Brent crude oil on the InterContinental
Exchange for 2019-2021 was USD64.18/barrel, USD43.18/barrel and USD70.52/barrel, respectively) and with reference to the projections by various professional institutions, the Proposed Annual Caps are determined on the Brent crude oil price of
USD104/barrel for the three years ending 31 December 2023, 2024 and 2025 (which are the average projections by the professional institutions) and the estimated exchange rate of USD1:RMB7.40; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The Company plans to construct Shanghai Petrochemical Thermal Power Unit Cleaning and Efficiency Improvement
Project, Shanghai Petrochemical 24,000 ton/year Precursor, 12,000 ton/year 48K Large Tow Carbon Fiber Project and other environmentally friendly and energy-saving technological upgrade projects. The construction and operation of the abovementioned
projects will further increase the Company's demand for raw materials and goods.

***2.5.2 Sale of petroleum products and petrochemical products***

**Reasons and benefits:** Transactions involving sale and purchase of petroleum products including gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and liquefied petroleum gas, etc., are subject to regulations by the PRC government which implements a regulation on issuing licences to the qualified petroleum products business operators. The Group is only allowed to sell petroleum products to companies with the licenses to sell and purchase petroleum products including gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and liquefied petroleum gas, etc.. Sinopec Corp. and its associates (e.g. Sinopec Huadong Sales Company Limited) are licensed petroleum products business operators. Hence, since the Company's initial public offering on 6 July 1993, the Company has been selling and will continue to sell petroleum products to Sinopec Corp. and its associates. In addition, Sinopec Corp. and its associates own a widespread sales network for petroleum products and possess a fairly high market share in domestic petroleum product market. Therefore, selling petroleum products to Sinopec Corp. and its associates would help the Company benefit from their solid commercial network and improve the Company ' s competitiveness. In addition to sale of petroleum products, the Company had in the past in the ordinary and usual course of its business sold certain petrochemical products, including butadiene, benzene and EO, etc., to Sinopec Corp. and its associates.

The Company is of the view that the sale of petrochemical products to Sinopec Corp. and its associates at market price reduces the needs for prolonged storage of its petrochemical products in its inventory, optimises its operation, largely reduces impact of fluctuation of market demand and ensures stable profits. In addition, as the Company has already established an amicable customer-supplier relationship with Sinopec Corp., it believes that an alliance with a reputable international petrochemical corporation such as Sinopec Corp. can promote the retention of the existing product users and the development and market expansion for the products of the Group.

Therefore, the Board is of the view that it is in the overall interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole to continue to sell petroleum products and petrochemical products to Sinopec Corp. and its associates at market prices.

**Pricing Policies:** Pursuant to the New Mutual Product Supply and Sale Services Framework Agreement, the sale of petroleum products and petrochemical products to Sinopec Corp. and its associates is determined in accordance with the following pricing policies:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) if there are applicable State (central and local governments) tariffs, the pricing of the Company's sales
shall follow the State tariffs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) if there are no State tariffs, but if there are applicable State's guidance prices, the pricing of the
Company's sales shall follow the State's guidance prices; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) if there are no applicable State tariffs or State's guidance prices, the pricing of the Company's
sales shall be determined in accordance with the prevailing market prices (including any bidding prices).

In particular:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(i)* *State tariffs and State's guidance prices* 

The price charged by the Company in relation to the sale of petroleum products to Sinopec Corp. and its associates are constrained by the relevant pricing requirements stipulated by the relevant government authorities, and the State tariffs and State's guidance prices provide pricing references to the price charged by the Company.

The government pricing for different products is determined based on the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(ii)* *Prevailing market prices* 

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there are no applicable State (central and local governments) tariffs or guidance prices in relation to the petrochemical products sold by the Company. The price of petrochemical products sold by the Company shall therefore be determined in accordance with the order price or contract price of external sales, taking into account of factors, such as freight rate and quality. The Company has established procedures and internal control mechanisms related to the pricing and terms of Continuing Connected Transactions. For details, please refer to page 26 of this circular.

Sinopec Corp. and its associates will settle payment for their purchases of the petroleum products and petrochemical products by way of cash in accordance with the payment terms set out in each of the individual contracts.

**The calculation basis of the Proposed Annual Caps:** 

The Proposed Annual Caps for the three years ending 31 December 2023, 2024 and 2025 are determined with reference to:

(a) the previous transactions' terms and amounts in respect of the sale of petroleum products and
petrochemical products to Sinopec Corp. and its associates; and

(b) with the significant fluctuation of crude oil prices in the last few years, the Company considers the impact of
possible price fluctuations on crude oil brought by geopolitical factors, fluctuation of exchange rate and speculative funds in the international capital market. The consequential fluctuations on the cost of petroleum products and petrochemical
products will in turn bring up the uncertainty in transaction prices.

***2.5.3 Agency sale of petrochemical products***

**Reasons and benefits:** In the ordinary and usual course of the Company's business, the Company has in the past entered into sale arrangements with its agents pursuant to which the agents will, on behalf of the Company, procure purchasers for the Company ' s petrochemical products, including resins, synthetic fiber monomers and polymers, synthetic fibers, intermediate petrochemicals, by-products of ethylene crackers and aromatics complex, as well as off-spec products related to the aforementioned five types of products, on a commission basis. Trading, distribution and marketing of the Group ' s products are important elements in the success of the business of the Group. Sinopec Corp. is one of the largest petrochemical companies in the world and has a strong global trading, distribution and marketing network. The Company considers that by appointing Sinopec Corp. and its associates as its sales agents, it will benefit from Sinopec Corp. 's experience, expertise and strong global network, increase the sales of its petrochemical products, avoid peer competition and further improve the Company's bargaining position with customers.

**Pricing Policies:** Pursuant to the New Mutual Product Supply and Sale Services Framework Agreement, the commissions payable to Sinopec Corp. and its associates for the agency sale of the Company ' s petrochemical products are based on the number of products for agency sale with reference to the prevailing market commission rates. The market commission rate of petrochemical products generally will not exceed 0.7%. The Company has established procedures and internal control mechanisms related to the pricing and terms of Continuing Connected Transactions. For details, please refer to page 26 of this circular.

The Company will pay the commission by cash generally on a monthly basis.

**The calculation basis of the Proposed Annual Caps:** 

The Proposed Annual Caps for the three years ending 31 December 2023, 2024 and 2025 are determined with reference to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the previous transactions' terms and amounts in respect of agency sale of petrochemical products through
Sinopec Corp. and its associates; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the Company's estimate of the change in the production volume of petrochemical products.

***2.5.4 Construction, installation and engineering design services***

**Reasons and benefits:** In order to upgrade and optimise existing products and processes and to develop and improve new technology, products, processes and equipment relating to its business, the Company maintains several technology development centers and research institutes. The detailed designs and implementation of such designs are carried out by external service providers. Since the Company 's initial public offering on 6 July 1993, the Group has from time to time obtained, in the ordinary and usual course of its business, construction, installation and engineering design services from external service providers including Ningbo Engineering Company of Sinopec and Sinopec Shanghai Engineering Co., Ltd., most of which are subsidiaries of Sinopec Engineering (Group) Co., Ltd.

The Company is of the view that Sinopec Group and its associates have consistently been able to meet the Company ' s stringent demands for highly technical designs as well as construction and installation specifications, and timely delivery of services. As the Company considers that having reliable and co-operative service providers is important and beneficial to the Company, obtaining services from Sinopec Group and its associates allows the Company to ensure timely completion of its future projects while maintaining the requisite quality. In addition, obtaining construction, installation and engineering design services from Sinopec Group and its associates will minimise the risk of leakage of intellectual property and trade secrets to third parties in the process of providing such services.

**Pricing Policies:** Pursuant to the New Comprehensive Services Framework Agreement, the fees payable to Sinopec Group and its associates in relation to the provision of construction, installation and engineering design services are priced with reference to the prevailing market prices. In determining whether the consideration is in line with prevailing market prices, the Company will refer to the bidding prices quoted by at least two independent third parties providing services with comparable scale where such services were provided under normal trading conditions. Due to the unique nature of engineering design services, it may not be feasible to obtain quotations from more than two independent service providers and the Group will refer to the prices of at least two transactions of similar nature. Following receipt of the quotations, the Group will compare and negotiate the price and terms of the quotations on an arm's length basis, and select service providers by taking into account of factors such as price quotations, quality of the products and services, particular needs of the project, technical advantages of the service providers, ability of the service providers in meeting delivery schedules and to continuously provide the services, and qualifications and relevant experiences of the service providers.

The Company will settle the fees by cash in accordance with the payment terms set out in each of the individual service contracts for the provision of such services.

***2.5.5 Petrochemical industry insurance agency services***

**Reasons and benefits:** Since the Company's initial public offering on 6 July 1993, the Company has been, in the ordinary and usual course of its business, using insurance services provided by Sinopec Group for the property insurance cover on the operation of the Company. Captive insurance has been widely adopted in the petrochemical industry. The Ministry of Finance has already granted approval for Sinopec Group to provide captive insurance services to its affiliates. The Company is of the view that maintaining a suitable insurance coverage for the Company ' s operation is important and will minimise the Company ' s risk exposure. Obtaining insurance services from Sinopec Group allows the Company to secure essential insurance coverage for its operation and is therefore beneficial to the Company.

**Pricing Policies:** Pursuant to the New Comprehensive Services Framework Agreement, the premium payable to Sinopec Group and its associates in relation to the provision of petrochemical industry insurance services are priced according to the relevant regulations promulgated by the Ministry of Finance and Sinopec Group (including the Safety Production Insurance Fund Document jointly issued in 1997 by the Ministry of Finance and the former Sinopec Group) and based on the valuation of the fixed assets and the assets list of the Company. Under the Safety Production Insurance Fund Document, the Company pays the insurance premium twice a year by cash, representing the maximum of 0.2% of the average inventory value in the previous six months and the value of fixed assets of the Company (according to statutory requirements by the Chinese government) after deduction of certain items which are not covered by the captive insurance.

**The calculation basis of the Proposed Annual Caps:** 

The Proposed Annual Caps for the three years ending 31 December 2023, 2024 and 2025 are determined with reference to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the previous transactions' terms and amounts in respect of the provision of petrochemical industry
insurance services by Sinopec Group; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the Company's estimate of the change in the value of its facilities in view of the Company's existing
and future development.

***2.5.6 Property leasing***

**Reasons and benefits:** In 2004, the Company purchased the property rights of the 16th to 28th floors of Huamin Empire Plaza, No. 728 Yan'an Road West, Shanghai, to be used as the Company's city office while part of the property was leased out. In 2007, the Company decided to lease the property to Sinopec Corp. and its associates considering their strong financial background.

Part of the property is leased to Sinopec Corp. and its associates. Taking into account of (i) the solid financial background and reputation of Sinopec Corp. and (ii) the fact that Sinopec Corp. has a long-term stable demand for property leasing services, the Board proposed that the Company should continue to lease the property to Sinopec Corp. and its associates in the future.

**Pricing Policies:** Pursuant to the New Comprehensive Services Framework Agreement, the leasing of property to Sinopec Corp. and its associates is priced with reference to the then prevailing market prices and at a rate that is no less favourable than the rental of other similar or comparable spaces and/or units in Huamin Empire Plaza that the Company charges to independent third parties. Where the similar or comparable spaces and/or units are not available, the Company will refer to the rental of commercial properties that are of the same grade as and are close to Huamin Empire Plaza in the same district. The business department of the Company shall conduct market research on the rental prices of office properties around Huamin Empire Plaza by obtaining rent quotations from two or more independent third parties. The Company will ensure that the price of the property leased by the Company to Sinopec Corp. and its associates is no less favourable than the prices on which the Company will lease to independent parties.

The Company will generally receive rent by cash in accordance with the payment terms set out in the individual lease agreement.

**The calculation basis of the Proposed Annual Caps:** 

The Proposed Annual Caps for the three years ending 31 December 2023, 2024 and 2025 are determined with reference to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the market prices of similar properties in Shanghai in the past three years; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the Company's estimate of the increase in rental prices for office properties in Shanghai.

***2.5.7 Comprehensive services***

**Reasons and benefits:** Since establishment, the Company has been receiving cultural and educational training services from Sinopec Group, including training courses for vocational skills and training seminars for management skills. The Company is of the view that this will benefit the professional development of employees. Sinopec Group has a huge global supplier network and an advanced informatization platform, which is of great significance for the Company to find excellent suppliers and save procurement costs. In addition, the Company will accept professional support services related to finance, human resources and information technology sharing services provided by Sinopec Shared Services Co., Ltd., which will help the Company further improve management refinement and operational efficiency.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The agreement price is applicable to culture, education, training services and other related or similar
services; Infrastructure, application software and other information systems as well as necessary support and services related to them. The agreement price shall be determined by a reasonable cost plus a reasonable profit. The supplier shall provide
the cost list determined by the actual cost of services provided by Sinopec Group. The buyer shall negotiate and verify the reasonable cost through the comparable average cost of similar enterprises in adjacent areas to determine the price of
connected transactions. When determining the reasonable profit of any comprehensive service under this agreement, the management shall refer to at least two comparable transactions with independent third parties in the same period. Once the price of
connected transaction is signed, it shall not be changed unilaterally without authorization;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The agreement price is applicable to financial, human resources and information technology sharing services.
The agreement price is determined by a reasonable cost plus a reasonable profit. The reasonable cost is determined on the basis of FTE (full-time employment equivalent). At the current stage, the cost and taxes are taken as the benchmark, and the
profit margin is controlled within 6% to determine the price of sharing services. When determining the reasonable profit of any comprehensive service under this agreement, the management shall refer to at least two comparable transactions with
independent third parties in the same period. Once the price of connected transaction is signed, it shall not be changed unilaterally without authorization.

**The calculation basis of the Proposed Annual Caps:** 

The Proposed Annual Caps for the three years ending 31 December 2023, 2024 and 2025 are determined with reference to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The audited actual costs of culture, education and training in 2021 provided by Sinopec Group;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The annual fees to be paid for miscellaneous services such as information system services provided by Sinopec
Group, including ERP system maintenance fees, OA office system fees, contract management system fees, archives and web portal service fees, infrastructure (including servers) maintenance fees, etc. Such fees are based on the market price of such

human resources and information technology sharing services are expected to increase further.

***2.5.8 Financial services***

**Reasons and benefits:** Sinopec Finance is a non-bank finance company approved and regulated by the PBOC and China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission ("CBIRC") and is an associate of Sinopec Group. The Company has been obtaining from Sinopec Finance certain financial services including settlement services, loan services, financing lease services, bill acceptance or discounting services, guarantee services, and any other services provided by Sinopec Finance as approved by the CBIRC.

The Company considers that having reliable and co-operative financial services are important to its business as the nature of the Company ' s business means that transactions often involve payment of large sums of money. Through this transaction, the Company is able to obtain timely financial services, such as loan facilities, discounted notes, settlement services and so forth. In addition, the customized preferential policies save financial expenses of the Company and increase the settlement efficiency among Sinopec companies, thereby ensuring fund security within the system and reducing risks posed to the fund of the Company. The financial services provided by Sinopec Finance have always been for the benefit of the Company and are, in the Company's opinion, generally on no less favourable terms as compared to the terms offered by other financial institutions.

**Pricing Policies:** The fees payable by the Company to Sinopec Finance under the Financial Services Framework Agreement will be no less favourable than the applicable fees specified by the PBOC and the CBIRC for the relevant services from time to time. If neither the PBOC nor the CBIRC has specified a fee or charge for a particular service, the services will be provided by Sinopec Finance on terms no less favorable than terms available from the major commercial banks or financial institutions in China. In determining whether the terms offered by Sinopec Finance is no less favourable, the Company will compare the terms with at least two transactions of a similar type with, or two quotes obtained from, major commercial banks or financial institutions which are independent third parties. The Company will ensure that the Company's interests are fully protected by controlling and examining the cost of financial services provided to the Company.

The Company will settle the fees by cash in accordance with the payment terms set out in each of the individual financing agreements to be entered into with Sinopec Finance for the provision of such financial services.

***The calculation basis of the Proposed Annual Cap:***

*The Proposed Annual Cap for the one year ending 31 December 2023 is determined with reference to:* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The previous transactions and amounts in respect of the provision of financial services by Sinopec Finance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Company's estimate of its business scale;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Company's volume of transactions involving the use of financial services;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Company obtained a number of loans (such as short-term loans and project loans) and continued to obtain
discounted notes from Sinopec Finance. Due to the increase in profits over the past two years, the Company has sufficient working capital for operation and there is little demand for external financing; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Company plans to construct Shanghai Petrochemical Thermal Power Unit Cleaning and Efficiency Improvement
Project, Shanghai Petrochemical 24,000 ton/year Precursor, 12,000 ton/year 48K Large Tow Carbon Fiber Project and other environmentally friendly and energy-saving technological upgrade projects. Completion of such projects will further increase the
production scale of the Company and increase demand of working capital of the Company. In addition, the Company has taken into account of the initial working capital of the projects that may be put into operation in the next year, as well as the
additional working capital required for the expansion of the Company's production scale. In determining the Proposed Annual Cap, the Company has considered its working capital and external financing to meet the funding needs. The Company
expects to obtain approximately RMB3 billions of project loans and approximately RMB3 billions of ordinary loans and discounted notes from Sinopec Finance for the year ending 31 December 2023. In determining the Proposed Annual Cap, the Company
has estimated that the interest rates on these loans are 90% of the current interest rates issued by the PBOC.

**2.6** **Pricing procedures and internal control mechanisms of the Continuing Connected Transactions** 

The Company has implemented the following pricing procedures and internal control mechanisms in order to ensure that the pricing policies and terms of the Continuing Connected Transactions are fair and reasonable and no less favourable than the terms provided by any independent third party:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Where the pricing for the Continuing Connected Transactions is determined with reference to the prevailing
market prices or market commission rates, the Company has set up a Price Management Committee that is responsible for the overall pricing management. The sales department of the Company is responsible for collecting and compiling price information.
It compares and analyses market prices for the same types of transactions in the same industry and provides a forecast on the trend of market prices. The Company actively obtains market price information through various channels, such as referring
to the comparable transaction prices for the same period between the Company and independent third parties (at least two or more), the comparable transaction prices for the same period among independent third parties, conducting price research
through industry websites and other independent providers of industry information, and participating in activities organized by leading industry associations. The market price information is also provided to other departments and subsidiaries of the
Company to assist in the pricing of the Continuing Connected Transactions. In the second half of every month, the finance department holds a meeting with sales department and other related departments to analyse and discuss the market conditions and
propose a price adjustment draft plan for the next month. This plan will be further reviewed by the sales department and submitted to the Price Management Committee of the Company for review and approval. The final price shall be determined by both
parties of the agreement (i.e. the Company, Sinopec Group, Sinopec Corp. and their associates) on normal commercial terms with reference to the above price information. The finance department will be responsible for issuing and implementing the
approved plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In terms of the Company's procurement process of relevant products or services, the Company requires
suppliers, including Sinopec Group, Sinopec Corp. and their associates, to provide quotations for the required services or products. After receiving the quotation, the Company will compare the quotations and discuss the quotation terms with the
supplier. The supplier shall be determined after considering factors such as price quotations, quality of products or services, specific needs of both parties involved, professional and technical advantages of the supplier, ability of the supplier
in performing the contracts and providing subsequent services, as well as the qualifications and relevant experience of the supplier;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Company's internal control department regularly conducts internal assessments on the completeness and
effectiveness of the internal control measures of the Company in relation to the Continuing Connected Transactions throughout the year. The legal and contract management department of the Company reviews and examines the contracts in relation to the
Continuing Connected Transactions stringently, and the contract execution department monitors the transaction amounts of the Continuing Connected Transactions in a timely manner;

------

**LETTER FROM THE BOARD** 

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Company implements the Continuing Connected Transactions in accordance with its internal control measures.
The files and ledgers for the Continuing Connected Transactions are set up by designated accounting personnel. The files and ledgers are checked and verified by the relevant personnel responsible for monitoring the Continuing Connected Transactions
at least once every quarter. Such personnel review and analyse the Continuing Connected Transactions' statements and implementation of pricing policies at least once every quarter to ensure that the transactions are conducted in accordance with
the pricing policies and prepare reports on the findings regularly. The transaction prices for the Continuing Connected Transactions shall be compared with and analysed against the prevailing market prices for the same period in order to identify
and rectify any existing problems as well as providing suggestions for improvement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Board, Supervisory Committee and Audit Committee of the Company review the annual financial report, annual
report and interim financial report which contain the information on the implementation of the Continuing Connected Transactions on an annual basis. The independent non-executive Directors provide their opinions on the Continuing Connected
Transactions during the periods of the reports, mainly including whether the Continuing Connected Transactions are fair and reasonable, and whether the actual transaction amounts incurred by the Continuing Connected Transactions are within the
Proposed Annual Caps; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The external auditor of the Company conducts an annual audit each year and issues its opinions as to the
implementation of the Continuing Connected Transactions by the Company and whether the amounts incurred by the Continuing Connected Transactions are within the Proposed Annual Caps during the year pursuant to the requirements of the Hong Kong
Listing Rules.

By implementing the above pricing procedures and internal control measures and procedures, the Directors are of the view that the Company has established sufficient internal control measures to ensure the pricing basis of the New Framework Agreements will be on market terms and on normal commercial terms or better and will be fair and reasonable to the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

**LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER**

The Independent Board Committee comprising all the independent non-executive Directors, namely Dr. Li Yuanqin, Dr. Tang Song, Mr. Chen Haifeng, Mr. Yang Jun and Dr. Gao Song, has been established to advise the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Major Continuing Connected Transactions and the associated Proposed Annual Caps. We have been appointed as the independent financial adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders on the same.

**II.** **INDEPENDENCE** 

We, Shenwan Hongyuan Capital (H.K.) Limited, did not act as the independent financial adviser to the Company during the two years preceding the date hereof. Apart from normal professional fee receivable by us for opining on the Major Continuing Connected Transactions and the associated Proposed Annual Caps, no other arrangement existed or remained in existence whereby we had received or will receive any fees or benefits from the Company or any other party. Therefore, we consider that we are independent pursuant to Rule 13.84 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules.

We have also assumed that all statements of belief, opinion, expectation and intention made by the Management in the Circular were reasonably made after due enquiry and careful consideration. We have no reason to suspect that any material facts or information have been withheld or to doubt the truth, accuracy and completeness of the information and facts contained in the Circular, or the reasonableness of the opinions and representations expressed by the Company and its advisers, which have been provided to us.

The Directors have collectively and individually accepted full responsibility for the accuracy of the information contained in the Circular and have confirmed, having made all reasonable enquiries, which to the best of their knowledge and belief, that the information contained in the Circular is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement in the Circular or the Circular misleading. We, as the Independent Financial Adviser, take no responsibility for the contents of any part of the Circular, save and except for this letter of advice.

**LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER**

Having completed the abovementioned work done, we consider that we have taken sufficient and necessary steps on which to form a reasonable basis and an informed view for our opinion in compliance with Rule 13.80 of the Listing Rules. We have not, however, conducted any independent verification and in-depth investigation into the information and documents provided by the Company as well as the business and affairs of the Group or its subsidiaries or associates. Our opinion is necessarily based on the financial, economic, market and other conditions in effect and the information made available to us as at the Latest Practicable Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.** **The Major Continuing Connected Transactions contemplated under the New Mutual Product Supply and Sale Services Framework Agreement** 

The table below sets out a brief description of each category of the Major Continuing Connected Transactions contemplated under the New Mutual Product Supply and Sale Services Framework Agreement:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  **<u>Categories of Continuing Connected Transactions</u>** | **Description** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Purchase of raw materials | Purchase of crude oil, petrochemical feedstocks (e.g. naphtha, ethylene, etc.), other raw materials and goods by the Company from Sinopec Group, Sinopec Corp. and their associates |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Sale of petroleum products and petrochemical products | Sale of petroleum products (including gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, liquefied petroleum gas, etc.), petrochemical products (e.g. butadiene, benzene, ethylene oxide ("**EO**"), etc.) by the Group to Sinopec Corp. and its associates |

---

We noted that the types of products and services contemplated under the New Mutual Product Supply and Sale Services Framework Agreement are substantially the same as those in the Existing Mutual Product Supply and Sale Services Framework Agreement. Having considered the principal business of the Company and the nature of the transactions contemplated under the New Mutual Product Supply and Sale Services Framework Agreement as set out above, we are of the view that the transactions contemplated under the new Mutual Product Supply and Sale Services Framework Agreement are carried out in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(1)***  ***Purchase of raw materials*** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(i)***  ***Reasons for and benefit of the transactions*** 

According to the Letter from the Board, the Group produces over 60 different types of petroleum and petrochemical products representing a broad range of synthetic fibers, resins and plastics, intermediate petrochemicals and petroleum products. Each of these products is created from the chemical processing of crude oil, naphtha, ethylene, propylene, aromatics and other intermediate petrochemicals. In order to ensure a steady, orderly, continuing and efficient operation of the Company, the Company has been, since its initial public offering on 6 July 1993, purchasing and will continue to purchase most of petrochemical raw materials (such as crude oil, naphtha, ethylene, etc.) and other materials and goods (such as spare parts) from or via Sinopec Corp. and its associates at prevailing market prices. The Company has also been utilising the crude oil reserves of Sinopec Group by borrowing and purchasing crude oil from Sinopec Commercial Reserve Co., Ltd. ("**Sinopec Reserve**") according to the Company's own production plans, stocks of crude oil and predictions on the market trends.

------

**LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER** 

------

As the Group does not possess upstream reserves of crude oil and other raw materials, it is necessary for the Group to continue to purchase raw materials to ensure continuing operation of its business. The oil and petrochemical industry in the PRC has always been subject to extensive regulations by the PRC government which implements a regulation on issuing licences to qualified crude oil business operators. The Group may only purchase crude oil from licensed crude oil suppliers. Sinopec Group, Sinopec Corp. and their associates (e.g. China International United Petroleum & Chemicals Co., Ltd. and Sinopec Reserve) are licensed crude oil suppliers. In addition, Sinopec Group, Sinopec Corp. and their associates have large crude oil storage tanks and pipeline transportation facilities which are close to the Group ' s production site. The Company considers that using the pipelines and facilities of Sinopec Group, Sinopec Corp. and their associates to import crude oil ensures a stable and secure supply of crude oil and reduces storage and transportation costs of crude oil.

The Group has been purchasing petrochemical raw materials (such as crude oil, naphtha, ethylene, etc.) and other materials and goods at market prices from or via Sinopec Corp. and its associates (including China International United Petroleum & Chemicals Co., Ltd., Shanghai SECCO Petrochemical Company Limited, etc.). The Company considers that an interruption of raw materials supply from Sinopec Corp. would cause difficulties to and increase costs of the operation of the Group, and therefore have a material adverse impact on the Group's production of its petroleum products and petrochemical products. The Group has also been utilising the crude oil reserves of Sinopec Reserve by purchasing and borrowing crude oil from Sinopec Reserve, which allows the Group to reduce its stock of crude oil, and to adjust and optimise its stock of crude oil according to production plans, stock status of crude oil and predictions on market demand.

Having considered the above, we are of the view that the purchase and borrowing of petrochemical raw materials (such as crude oil, naphtha, ethylene, etc.) and other materials and goods (such as spare parts) from or via Sinopec Group, Sinopec Corp. and their associates as contemplated under the New Mutual Product Supply and Sale Services Framework Agreement are carried out in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company, and are beneficial to the Company as they will allow the Company to secure a stable and reliable supply of raw materials required to support its continuous production of various types of products, and thus are in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(ii)***  ***Pricing and payment terms*** 

As stated in the Letter from the Board, pursuant to the New Mutual Product Supply and Sale Services Framework Agreement, the purchase of petrochemical raw materials (such as crude oil, naphtha, ethylene, etc.) and other materials and goods from or via Sinopec Group, Sinopec Corp. and their associates are priced in accordance with the following pricing policies:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) if there are applicable state (PRC central and local governments) tariffs, the pricing of the Company's
purchases shall follow the State tariffs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) if there are no State tariffs, but if there are applicable State ' s guidance prices, the pricing of the
Company's purchases shall follow the State's guidance prices; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) if there are no applicable State tariffs or State ' s guidance prices, the pricing of the Company ' s
purchases shall be determined in accordance with the prevailing market prices (including any bidding prices).

------

**LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER** 

------

According to the above pricing policy, the purchase prices of raw materials will be set in the priority order from (a) to (c) as stated above. As set out in the Letter from the Board, as at the Latest Practicable Date, there are no applicable state (PRC central and local governments) tariffs or guidance prices in relation to the raw materials purchased from or via Sinopec Group, Sinopec Corp. and their associates. The price of raw materials shall therefore be determined in accordance with the prevailing market prices.

As advised by the Management, the price of crude oil purchased from Sinopec Corp. and its associates is determined on the basis of prevailing market prices that Sinopec Corp. and its associates acquire crude oil from the open market at the prevailing market prices plus an agency fee. In principle, the prevailing market price of crude oil is determined on the price of benchmark crude oil quoted by the international common practice on each regional market, namely Dated Brent, Dubai, Dubai & Oman, DME Oman, etc. The agency fee is determined in accordance with prevailing market commission rates for agency purchases of crude oil from the open market and the actual transaction amounts. We have obtained from the Company crude oil purchase contracts entered into with Sinopec Corp. or its associates and with other suppliers and noted that the purchase price for crude oil from the connected persons was close to the above benchmark crude oil prices and the agency fee charged by Sinopec Corp. and its associates was no less favourable than the rate charged by other suppliers.

In addition, we understand from the Management that the Group purchases crude oil from Sinopec Group and its associates (such as Sinopec Reserve) out of their inventory maintained for sale to customers, which is generally sourced over a period of time. Therefore, Sinopec Group and its associates use a pricing mechanism to determine the crude oil selling price different from that of Sinopec Corp. and its associates. The Free on Board (FOB) price of crude oil purchased from Sinopec Group and its associates (such as Sinopec Reserve) is determined by the average import FOB of that type of crude oil one month before crude oil is planned for delivery from stocks (pricing month); the freight is determined by the average freight of Sinopec Group and its associates in the pricing month; and the exchange rate is calculated at the exchange rate on the first trading day of the month in which crude oil is planned for delivery from stocks.

As confirmed by the Management, the above pricing mechanism complies with 石油價格管理辦法 (the Administrative Measures for Oil Prices\*) issued by the National Development and Reform Commission of the PRC ("**NDRC**") in January 2016 that the sale price of crude oil can be determined at the selling entity ' s discretion with reference to the prevailing international market price, and thus we are of the view that the pricing arrangements under the New Mutual Product Supply and Sale Services Framework Agreement in relation to purchases of crude oil from Sinopec Group and its associates with reference to the average market price comply with the government's administrative measures.

**LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER**

The Letter from the Board further states that the fee of usage of crude oil borrowed by the Company is calculated on the basis of the costs of purchase such as CIF (i.e. cost, insurance and freight), miscellaneous delivery expenses, insurance expenses and taxes for the same type of the borrowed crude oil in the month of borrowing the crude oil (borrowing month), and the interest of the fee is calculated on the basis of the interest rate for a six-month loan as announced by the PBOC during the borrowing month. As advised by the Management, it is crucial for the Group to borrow crude oil when there is short-term crude oil supply shortage in the market in order to ensure production continuity and safety. We have been advised by the Management that Sinopec Reserve does not serve any external customers on loan of crude oil apart from group companies of China Petrochemical Corporation. Sinopec Reserve charges the same usage fee to all these crude oil borrowers, including the Company based on the above pricing mechanism for borrowing crude oil. Therefore, we are of the view that the pricing terms offered to the Company by Sinopec Reserve on the borrowing of crude oil are comparable to those offered by Sinopec Reserve to its other customers. Furthermore, we consider that the above fee arrangement for crude oil borrowing from Sinopec Reserve is in effect similar to charging an interest on the implied principal borrowed by the Company from Sinopec Reserve based on the costs of purchase of the borrowed crude oil at the interest rate for a six-month loan published by the PBOC from time to time. Furthermore, considering the importance of crude oil borrowing to the Group's production continuity and safety and the above factors as a whole, we are of the view that such costs of borrowing is reasonable.

According to the Letter from the Board, the Company also purchases other petrochemical raw materials (other than crude oil) as well as other materials and goods (such as spare parts) from Sinopec Group, Sinopec Corp. and their respective associates. The price of other petrochemical raw materials (other than crude oil) purchased from Sinopec Group, Sinopec Corp. and their associates is determined in accordance with the order price or contract price of external sales, taking into account other factors, such as freight rate and quality. The price of other raw materials and goods (such as spare parts) is determined through price enquiry and comparison on the relevant price websites or by referring to the prices of similar transactions in surrounding markets or by tender through the e-commerce system.

As stated in the Letter from the Board, the Company will settle the payment for its raw material purchases by way of cash in accordance with the payment terms set out in each of the individual contracts for the purchase of such raw materials. We noted that the aforesaid payment terms are the same as those stipulated under the Existing Mutual Product Supply and Sale Services Framework Agreement.

Furthermore, as detailed in the paragraph headed "Pricing procedures and internal control mechanisms of the Continuing Connected Transactions" in the Letter from the Board, the Company has implemented internal control measures and procedures to ensure the pricing policies of the continuing connected transactions with Sinopec Group, Sinopec Corp. and their respective associates is properly followed.

Based on the above, we are of the view that the aforesaid terms of the purchases of raw materials contemplated under the New Mutual Product Supply and Sale Services Framework Agreement are on normal commercial basis and are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(iii)***  ***Proposed Annual Caps*** 

The table below sets forth (i) the historical transaction amount and the existing annual caps for the purchase of raw materials under the Existing Mutual Product Supply and Sale Services Framework Agreement; and (ii) the Proposed Annual Caps for the three years ending 31 December 2023, 2024 and 2025:

---

According to current estimates, the Company believes that the annual caps in 2022 will not be exceeded.

With reference to the Letter from the Board and based on our discussions with the Management, the Proposed Annual Caps are determined by the Company based mainly on expected price and quantity of purchase taking into account:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the previous transactions ' terms and amounts in respect of purchases of raw materials from or via Sinopec
Group, Sinopec Corp. and their associates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) considering the significant fluctuation of crude oil prices in the last few years, the Company ' s
estimate of the impact of possible price fluctuations on crude oil and other major raw materials brought by geopolitical factors, fluctuation of USD/RMB exchange rate and speculative funds in the international capital markets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the Company's estimate of its business growth;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) the Company's estimate that the exchange rate of RMB to USD may fluctuate in the future; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) the Company plans to construct Shanghai Petrochemical Thermal Power Unit Cleaning and Efficiency Improvement
Project, Shanghai Petrochemical 24,000 ton/year Precursor, 12,000 ton/year 48K Large Tow Carbon Fiber Project and other environmentally friendly and energy-saving technological upgrade projects (the "**Proposed Projects** "). The
construction and operation of the abovementioned projects will further increase the Company's demand for raw materials and goods.

**LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER**

To assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Proposed Annual Caps, we have obtained and reviewed the forecasts of the Proposed Annual Caps prepared by the Management to derive the Proposed Annual Caps. Based on our review of the Company's calculations, we noted that crude oil purchase constitutes approximately 87% of the Proposed Annual Caps for the purchase of raw materials, and therefore, the Proposed Annual Caps are closely linked to the purchase of crude oil.

We noted that the historical utilisation rate of the existing annual caps was approximately 51.8% and 69.5% for the two years ended 31 December 2020 and 2021. We have enquired the reasons with the Management and we are given to understand that the gap was mainly caused by the drop in actual price and processing volume of crude oil. When determining the existing annual caps, the Company adopted the Brent crude oil price of USD68/barrel (the "**Previous Estimated Oil Price**"). However, international Brent crude oil price experienced volatile fluctuations during the past three years, with bottom price of approximately USD23/barrel (representing a decrease of more than 66% comparing to the Previous Estimated Oil Price) in the second quarter of 2020 and such price did not recover to the level of USD68/barrel until March 2021. Afterwards, the Brent crude oil price fluctuated between approximately USD61/barrel and USD86/barrel during 2021, further increased at the end of 2021 and reached the highest of approximately USD128/barrel in March 2022, manly driven by the Russian-Ukraine geopolitical event. The daily average price of Brent crude oil on the InterContinental Exchange for the three years ended 31 December 2019, 2020, 2021 and for the six months ended 30 June 2022 was approximately USD64/barrel, USD44/barrel, USD70/barrel and USD103/barrel respectively.

As also advised by the Management, the Group's annual processing capacity of crude oil will remain the same at the current level of 16 million tons for the coming three years ending 31 December 2025. Based on the historical experience of the Company, the utilisation rate of the processing capacity generally exceeded 90%. Nevertheless, we noted that such utilisation rate dropped to approximately 86% for the year ended 31 December 2021 and further dropped to approximately 72% for the six months ended 30 June 2022. We discussed reasons with the Management and noted that the drop in utilisation rate above was mainly due to the implementation of the largest overhaul in the Company's history during 2021 and the reduced production affected by the supply chain congestion caused by the rebound of the pandemic during the second quarter of 2022. Therefore, the combined effect of the drop in actual price and processing volume of crude oil largely explained the underutilisation of the existing annual caps.

------

**LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER** 

------

With reference to the Letter from the Board, the Proposed Annual Caps are determined on the projected Brent crude oil price of USD104/barrel for the year ending 31 December 2023 with reference to the projections by various professional institutions, which was also close to the average price of approximately USD103/barrel for the six months ended 30 June 2022 and represented an increase of approximately 53% and 49% as compared to the Previous Estimated Oil Price and the average price of approximately USD70/barrel in 2021 respectively. The Company expects the utilisation rate of crude oil processing capacity will resume to the normal level around 90% during the three years ending 31 December 2025.

In addition, with reference to the Letter from the Board, in view of the possible future fluctuations of the exchange rate, that the Company has adopted the estimated exchange rate of USD1:RMB7.4 in determining the Proposed Annual Caps, representing an increase of approximately 4% as comparing to the exchange of USD1:RMB7.1 used in determining the existing annual caps. The estimated exchange rate also represents an increase of approximately 15% and 10% to the average exchange rate used in the Group's financial statements for the two years ended 31 December 2020 and 2021.

In addition, the Management expects that the construction and operation of the Proposed Projects are expected to increase the purchase of the raw materials.

Taking into the account the above factors, we consider that the Proposed Annual Caps of RMB121.171 billion, RMB124.513 billion and RMB119.847 billion for the purchase of raw materials and goods under the New Mutual Product Supply and Sale Services Framework Agreement for the three years ending 31 December 2025 respectively are reasonable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(2)***  ***Sale of petroleum products and petrochemical products*** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(i)***  ***Reasons for and benefit of the transactions*** 

Transactions involving sale and purchase of petroleum products including gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, liquefied petroleum gas, etc., are subject to regulations by the PRC government which implements a regulation on issuing licences to qualified petroleum products business operators. The Group is only allowed to sell petroleum products to companies with the licenses to sell and purchase petroleum products including gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, liquefied petroleum gas, etc., and Sinopec Corp. and its associates (e.g. Sinopec Huadong Sales Company Limited) are licensed petroleum products business operators. Hence, since the Company's initial public offering on 6 July 1993, it has been selling and will continue to sell petroleum products to Sinopec Corp. and its associates. In addition, Sinopec Corp. and its associates own a widespread sales network in the PRC for petroleum products and possess a fairly high market share in domestic petroleum product market. Therefore, selling petroleum products to Sinopec Corp. and its associates would help the Company benefit from their solid commercial network and improve the Company's competitiveness. In addition to sale of petroleum products, the Company had in the past in the ordinary and usual course of its business sold certain petrochemical products, including butadiene, benzene, EO, etc., to Sinopec Corp. and its associates.

Based on the above, we consider that the sale of petroleum products to Sinopec Corp. and its associates under the New Mutual Product Supply and Sale Services Framework Agreement is carried out in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company and is beneficial to the Company as it will generate revenue for the Company and thus is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

As stated in the Letter from the Board, the Company is of the view that the sale of petrochemical products to Sinopec Corp. and its associates at market price reduces the needs for prolonged storage of its petrochemical products in its inventory, optimises its operation, largely reduces impact of fluctuation of market demand and ensures stable profits. In addition, as the Company has already established an amicable customer-supplier relationship with Sinopec Corp., it believes that an alliance with a reputable international petrochemical corporation such as Sinopec Corp. can promote the retention of the existing product users and the development and market expansion for the products of the Group. Having considered the established business relationship between the Company and Sinopec Corp., we are of the view that the sale of petrochemical products under the New Mutual Product Supply and Sale Services Framework Agreement is beneficial to the Company as it will increase the overall revenue of the Company as well as assist the business development and market expansion for the Company's products, and thus is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(ii)***  ***Pricing and payment terms*** 

Pursuant to the New Mutual Product Supply and Sale Services Framework Agreement, the sale of petroleum products and petrochemical products to Sinopec Corp. and its associates is determined in accordance with the following pricing policies:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) if there are applicable state (PRC central and local governments) tariffs, the pricing of the Company's
sales shall follow the State tariffs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) if there are no State tariffs, but if there are applicable State's guidance prices, the pricing of the
Company's sales shall follow the State's guidance prices; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) if there are no applicable State tariffs or State's guidance prices, the pricing of the Company's
sales shall be determined in accordance with the prevailing market prices (including any bidding prices).

Based on the above pricing policy, the price of petroleum products and petrochemical products sold by the Company to Sinopec Corp. and its associates will be set in the priority order from (a) to (c).

The Company advised that the prices charged by the Company in relation to the sale of petroleum products to Sinopec Corp. and its associates are constrained by the relevant pricing requirements stipulated by the government authorities, details of which is set out in sub-paragraph headed "Pricing Policies" under the paragraph headed "Sale of petroleum products and petrochemical products" in the Letter from the Board. We consider that State tariffs and guidance prices provide fair pricing references as they are set by the NDRC under government directions. Based on our review of the invoices in relation to the sale of petroleum products provided to us by the Company, we noted that the sales price of the relevant petroleum products charged to the associates of Sinopec Corp. was in line with the prevailing guidance price set forth by the NDRC for the relevant products.

As for sale of the petrochemical products, the Company advised that as at the Latest Practicable Date, there are no applicable state (PRC central and local governments) tariffs or guidance prices. Hence the price of petrochemical products sold by the Company shall therefore be determined in accordance with the order price or contract price of external sales, taking into account other factors such as freight rate and quality. We have reviewed and compared the pricing terms as set out in the invoices which were provided by the Company to us in relation to the sales of petrochemical products by the Company to associates of Sinopec Corp. and to independent third parties respectively. It is noted that the selling prices of the relevant petrochemical products charged to the relevant associates of Sinopec Corp. were no less favourable than the prevailing market prices paid by independent third parties. Therefore, we are of the view that the above pricing policy is fair and reasonable as far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

**LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER** 

------

Furthermore, according to the Letter from the Board, Sinopec Corp. and its associates will settle payment for their purchases of the Company's petroleum products and petrochemical products by way of cash in accordance with the payment terms as set out in each of the individual sales contracts. We note that the payment terms remain the same as those set out in the Existing Mutual Product Supply and Sale Services Framework Agreement.

Based on the above, we are of the view that the aforesaid terms of the sale of petroleum products and petrochemical products contemplated under the New Mutual Product Supply and Sale Services Framework Agreement are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

According to current estimates, the Company believes that the annual caps in 2022 will not be exceeded.

The historical utilisation rates of the existing annual caps was approximately 68.6%, 92.3% and 42.4% for the two years ended 31 December 2020 and 2021 and for the six months ended 30 June 2022. With reference to the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020, under the influence of the global COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the petrochemical industry faced major challenges with the production and sales of petrochemical products dropped sharply in the first quarter and gradually return to normal after the second quarter in 2020. The effect due to the plunge in crude oil prices had also been transferred to the prices of petroleum products and petrochemical products, which were substantially lower than that in 2019. The Group's overall sales in 2020 also decreased by approximately 25.58% from the previous year and thus lower utilisation rate was recorded in 2020.

With reference to the Letter from the Board, the Proposed Annual Caps for the three years ending 31 December 2023, 2024 and 2025 are determined with reference to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the previous transactions' terms and amounts in respect of the sale of petroleum products and
petrochemical products to Sinopec Corp. and its associates; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) with the significant fluctuation of crude oil prices in the last few years, the Company considers the impact of
possible price fluctuations on crude oil brought by geopolitical factors, fluctuation of USD/RMB exchange rate and speculative funds in the international capital markets. The consequential fluctuations on the cost of petroleum products and
petrochemical products will in turn increase the uncertainty in transaction prices.

We have discussed with the Management on each of the above factors and their potential impacts on its sale of petroleum products and petrochemical products to Sinopec Corp. and its associates as well as on the Proposed Annual Caps. The sale of petroleum products and petrochemical products to the connected persons amounted to approximately RMB60.927 billion for the year ended 31 December 2021 and it is forecasted by the Management that such sales would reach the level close to the existing annual cap for the year ending 31 December 2022, mainly due to the increase in product prices as the cost is transferred from the increase in crude oil price. As advised by the Management, the existing annual caps were forecasted based on assumption of the Previous Estimated Oil Price of USD68/barrel and therefore the utilisation of the existing annual cap reached more than 90% in 2021 when the yearly average Brent crude oil price was approximately USD70/barrel. Although the average Brent crude oil price increased to approximately USD103/barrel for the six months ended 30 June 2022 (representing an increase of approximately 52% as compared to the Previous Estimated Oil Price of USD68/barrel), we understand from the Management that the transaction amount did not record substantial improvement mainly due to the supply chain congestion caused by the rebound of the pandemic and repair and maintenance work during the first half of 2022. Therefore, with the expected Brent crude oil price of USD104/barrel for the coming three years, the Management expects that the Proposed Annual Caps for the three years ending 31 December 2023, 2024 and 2025 will record an increase of around 50% as compared to the existing annual caps.

Taking into the account the above factors, we consider that the Proposed Annual Caps of RMB91.003 billion, RMB93.169 billion and RMB93.873 billion for the sale of petroleum products and petrochemical products under the New Mutual Product Supply and Sale Services Framework Agreement for the three years ending 31 December 2025 respectively are reasonable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.** **Construction, installation and engineering design services under the New Comprehensive Services Framework Agreement** 

The construction, installation and engineering design services under the New Comprehensive Services Framework Agreement involves construction, installation and engineering design services regarding petrochemical plant provided to the Group by Sinopec Group, Sinopec Corp. and their associates.

We noted that the construction, installation and engineering design services contemplated under the New Comprehensive Services Framework Agreement are substantially the same as those in the Existing Comprehensive Services Framework Agreement. Having considered the principal business of the Company and the nature of the transactions contemplated under the New Comprehensive Services Framework Agreement as set out above, we are of the view that the construction, installation and engineering design services contemplated under the New Comprehensive Services Framework Agreement are carried out in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(i)***  ***Reasons for and benefit of the transactions*** 

As stated in the Letter from the Board, in order to upgrade and optimise existing products and processes and to develop and improve new technology, products, processes and equipment relating to its business, the Company maintains several technology development centers and research institutes. The detailed designs and implementation of such designs are carried out by external service providers. Since the Company's initial public offering on 6 July 1993, the Group has from time to time obtained, in the ordinary and usual course of its business, construction, installation and engineering design services from external service providers including Ningbo Engineering Company of Sinopec and Sinopec Shanghai Engineering Co., Ltd., most of which are subsidiaries of Sinopec Engineering (Group) Co., Ltd.

Furthermore, the Company is of the view that Sinopec Group and its associates have consistently been able to meet the Company ' s stringent demands for highly technical design as well as construction and installation specifications, and timely delivery of services. As the Company considers that having reliable and co-operative service providers is important and beneficial to the Company, obtaining services from Sinopec Group and its associates allows the Company to ensure timely completion of its future projects while maintaining the requisite quality. In addition, obtaining construction, installation and engineering design services from Sinopec Group and its associates will minimise the risk of leakage of intellectual property and trade secrets to third parties in the process of providing such services.

Based on the above, we consider that the procurement of construction, installation and engineering design services from Sinopec Corp. and its associates under the Renewed Comprehensive Services Framework Agreement is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

**LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER** 

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(ii)***  ***Pricing and payment terms*** 

Pursuant to the New Comprehensive Services Framework Agreement, the fees payable to Sinopec Group and its associates in relation to the provision of construction, installation and engineering design services are priced with reference to the prevailing market prices. In determining whether the consideration is in line with prevailing market prices, the Company will refer to the bidding prices quoted by at least two independent third parties providing services with comparable scale where such services were provided under normal trading conditions. Due to the unique nature of engineering design services, it may not be feasible to obtain quotations from more than two independent service providers and the Group will refer to the prices of at least two transactions of similar nature. Following receipt of the quotation, the Group will compare and negotiate the price and terms of the quotation on an arm's length basis, and select service providers by taking into account of factors such as price quotations, quality of the products and services, particular needs of the project, technical advantages of the service providers, ability of the service providers in meeting delivery schedules and to continuously provide the services, and track record as well as qualifications and relevant experiences of the service providers.

As stated in the Letter from the Board, the Company will settle the fees by cash in accordance with the payment terms set out in each of the individual service contracts for the provision of such services.

In view of the above, we consider that the basis for determining the fees payable by the Company to Sinopec Group and its associates for the relevant services and terms of the transactions are on normal commercial terms and fair and reasonable so far as the Company and Independent Shareholders are concerned.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(iii)***  ***Proposed Annual Caps*** 

The table below sets forth (i) the historical transaction amount and the existing annual caps for the construction, installation and engineering design services under the New Comprehensive Services Framework Agreement; and (ii) the Proposed Annual Caps for the three years ending 31 December 2023, 2024 and 2025:

**LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER** 

------

With reference to the Letter from the Board and as advised by the Management, the Proposed Annual Caps for the three years ending 31 December 2023, 2024 and 2025 are mainly determined with reference to: (i) the Company's estimate of the construction, installation and engineering design services costs which are required to satisfy its existing and future development; and (ii) the Company plans to construct the Proposed Projects (which are subject to the approval of relevant PRC government authorities) as mentioned in the sub-section headed "2(1) Purchase of raw materials – (iii) Proposed Annual Caps" above in this letter.

We have reviewed the schedule provided by the Company for the proposed projects, associated with construction, installation and engineering design services, for each of the three years ending 31 December 2025. In the schedule, the Company has: (1) summarised all proposed projects associated with construction, installation and engineering design services, including the Proposed Projects as well as other regular works of inspection and maintenance; (2) estimated the expenditures of each of the projects by each of the next three years. Therefore, the Proposed Annual Caps for each of the three years ending 31 December 2022 is equal to the sum of the estimated expenditure of all projects in the respective year.

Among the Proposed Projects, the capital expenditure for Shanghai Petrochemical Thermal Power Unit Cleaning and Efficiency Improvement Project ("**Project A**") and Shanghai Petrochemical 24,000 ton/year Precursor, 12,000 ton/year 48K Large Tow Carbon Fiber Project ("**Project B**") are projected by the Management to be over RMB1.35 billion/year. In terms of Project A, the Company has disclosed in its announcement dated 10 November 2022 that the Company proposes to invest in the construction of four sets of highly efficient coal-fired heating units to replace the existing coal-fired heating units with expected investment amount of approximately RMB3.388 billion during the construction period of about 3 years. We have also reviewed the contract and the expected payment schedule of Project B and noted that the contract sum of approximately RMB0.65 billion are expected to be paid during the expected project period of 2 years.

As advised by the Management, the Group has from time to time obtained, in the ordinary and usual course of its business, construction, installation and engineering design services, including other possible new projects other than Project A and Project B as well as other regular works of inspection and maintenance.

Taking into the account the above factors, we consider that the Proposed Annual Caps of RMB1.548 billion, RMB1.542 billion and RMB1.549 billion for the construction, installation and engineering design services under the New Comprehensive Services Framework Agreement for the three years ending 31 December 2025 respectively are reasonable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.** **Pricing Procedures and Internal Control** 

We have discussed with the Management and reviewed the pricing procedure and internal control measures in place of the Major Continuing Connected Transactions.

To ensure that the pricing policies and terms of Continuing Connected Transactions are fair and reasonable, the Group has implemented the following internal control mechanisms:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Where the pricing for Continuing Connected Transactions is determined with reference to the prevailing market
prices or market commission rates, the Company has set up a Price Management Committee that is responsible for the overall pricing management. The sales department of the Company is responsible for collecting and compiling price information. It
compares and analyses market prices for the same types of transactions in the same industry and provides a forecast on the trend of market prices. The Company actively obtains market price information through various channels, such as referring to
the comparable transaction prices for the same period between the Company and independent third parties (at least two or more), the comparable transaction prices for the same period among independent third parties, conducting price research through
industry websites and other independent providers of industry information, and participating in activities organized by leading industry associations. The market price information is also provided to other departments and subsidiaries of the Company
to assist in the pricing of Continuing Connected Transactions. In the second half of every month, the finance department holds a meeting with sales department and other related departments to analyse and discuss the market conditions and propose a
draft price adjustment plan for the coming month. This plan, executed on a monthly basis, will be further reviewed by the sales department and submitted to the Price Management Committee of the Company for review and approval. The final price shall
be determined by both parties of the agreement (i.e. the Company, Sinopec Group, Sinopec Corp. and their associates) on normal commercial terms with reference to the above price information. The finance department will be responsible for issuing and
implementing the approved plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In terms of the Company's procurement process of relevant products or services, the Company requires
suppliers, including Sinopec Group, Sinopec Corp. and their associates, to provide quotations for the required services or products. After receiving the quotation, the Company will compare the quotations and discuss the quotation terms with the
supplier. The supplier shall be determined after considering factors such as price quotations, quality of products or services, specific needs of both parties involved, professional and technical advantages of the supplier, ability of the supplier
in performing the contracts and providing subsequent services, as well as the qualifications and relevant experience of the supplier;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Company's internal control department regularly conducts internal assessments on the completeness and
effectiveness of the internal control measures of the Company in relation to the Major Continuing Connected Transactions throughout the year. The legal and contract management department of the Company stringently reviews and examines the contracts
in relation to the Major Continuing Connected Transactions, and the contract execution department monitors the transaction amounts of the Major Continuing Connected Transactions in a timely manner;

------

**LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER** 

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Company implements Continuing Connected Transactions in accordance with its internal control measures. The
files and ledgers for Continuing Connected Transactions are set up by designated accounting personnel. The files and ledgers are checked and verified by the relevant personnel responsible for monitoring Continuing Connected Transactions at least
once every quarter. Such personnel review and analyse the Major Continuing Connected Transactions' statements and implementation of pricing policies at least once every quarter to ensure that the transactions are conducted in accordance with
the pricing policies and prepare reports on the findings regularly. The transaction prices for Continuing Connected Transactions shall be compared with and analysed against the prevailing market prices for the same period in order to identify and
rectify any existing problems as well as providing suggestions for improvement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Board, Supervisory Committee and Audit Committee of the Company review the annual financial report, annual
report and interim financial report which contain the information on the implementation of the Major Continuing Connected Transactions on an annual basis. The independent non-executive Directors provide their opinions on the Major Continuing
Connected Transactions during the periods of the reports, mainly including whether the Major Continuing Connected Transactions are fair and reasonable, and whether the actual transaction amounts incurred by the Major Continuing Connected
Transactions are within the Proposed Annual Caps; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The external auditor of the Company conducts an annual audit each year and issues its opinions as to the
implementation of the Major Continuing Connected Transactions by the Company and whether the amounts incurred by the Major Continuing Connected Transactions are within the Proposed Annual Caps during the year pursuant to the requirements of the Hong
Kong Listing Rules.

In view of the existence of the above pricing procedures and internal control policies adopted by the Company, especially (i) the overall pricing management by the Price Management Committee and it will review and approve the price adjustment draft plan for the next moth prepared by the finance department after meeting with sales department and other related departments; and (ii) the internal control department regularly conducts internal assessment on the completeness and effectiveness of the internal control measures in relation to the Major Continuing Connected Transactions throughout the year; (iii) the legal and contract management department of the Company reviews and examines the contracts in relation to the Major Continuing Connected Transactions stringently; and (iv) the contract execution department monitors the transaction amounts of the Major Continuing Connected Transactions in a timely manner, we concur with the Directors ' view that the Company has established sufficient internal control measures to ensure the pricing basis of the New Mutual Product Supply and Sale Services Framework Agreement and the New Comprehensive Services Framework Agreement will be on market terms and on normal commercial terms or better and will be fair and reasonable to the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

**LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER**
