POWER DEVELOPMENT GROUP CO., LTD. ANNOUNCED THAT ITS INDIRECT WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY POWER (QINHUANGDAO) AND GUIZHOU FORCE SIGNED A SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT TO THE 2020 LOAN AGREEMENT ON FEBRUARY 9, 2024. The Supplemental Agreement further extends the original loan repayment date from 31 December 2023 to 31 December 2025 and raises the interest rate to 3.5% at the market quote rate for one-year loans. The principal amount of the loan is RMB5700 million, equivalent to approximately HK$6300 million. Since Mr. Zhang Li, the major shareholder of Guizhou Power Developed by Force, indirectly holds 100% interest, this transaction constitutes a connected transaction. Under the Listing Rules, the applicable percentage of the transaction is greater than 0.1% but less than 5% and is therefore subject to the Notice, Declaration and Annual Review requirements, but is exempt from compliance with Circulars and Independent Shareholder Approvals. The Board considers that the second supplemental agreement is fair and reasonable for the overall interests of the Company and its shareholders.
