SUPPLEMENTAL ANNOUNCEMENT
CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS
Reference is made to the announcement of Freetech Road Recycling Technology (Holdings) Limited dated 28 October 2019 in relation to the continuing connected transactions involving certain service agreements entered into between Tianjin Expressway Maintenance (an indirect non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) and the Contract Parties (the "Announcement"). Unless otherwise stated, terms used in this announcement shall have the same meanings as defined in the Announcement.
In addition to the information disclosed in the Announcement, the Company wishes to provide its shareholders and public with additional information in relation to the Continuing Connected Transactions.
BASIS FOR DETERMINING THE CONSIDERATION
As mentioned in the Announcement, the consideration of the Continuing Connected Transactions (including both daily maintenance and renovation maintenance services) was determined with reference to (i) the pricing guidelines issued by the local government of Tianjin, the People's Republic of China (the "PRC"); (ii) the consideration of historical transactions; (iii) the market price of raw materials costs; (iv) similar services rendered by Tianjin Expressway Maintenance, and (v) the duration and location of the projects. Further details relating to the pricing guidelines and the amount of the historical transactions are set out below:
The Company referred to the supplemental requirement on budget preparation and estimate for highway construction projects (天津市執行交通部《公路基本建設工程概算、預算編制辦法》 的補充規定) issued by Tianjin local government and the budget for highway construction (公路工 程預算定額) issued by the Ministry of Transport of the PRC on 1 December 2018 (with effect from 1 May 2019) (the "Pricing Guidelines"). The Pricing Guidelines apply to all highway construction and maintenance projects in the PRC and provide price reference for highway construction and maintenance contracts, including the range of labour costs per day, the range of the cost per meter for
1
certain raw materials and the range of the cost per machines used. The Pricing Guidelines are for reference purpose only and there is no requirement for Tianjin Expressway Maintenance to strictly follow these Pricing Guidelines. As the price references set out in the Pricing Guidelines are not up- to-date, Tianjin Expressway Maintenance would adjust the labour costs and estimate the raw material costs set out in the Pricing Guidelines upward or downward by comparing them with the prevailing market prices of labour costs and raw material costs and taking into account any recent or anticipated changes in the market based on the Group's knowledge. As mentioned in the Announcement, the prevailing market prices of the raw materials were determined by the purchasing team of Tianjin Expressway Maintenance through conducting market research and obtaining 15 quotes from different raw material suppliers in Tianjin.
Tianjin Expressway Maintenance has entered into transactions with Tianjin Expressway Group (including its subsidiaries and associated companies) from time to time since August 2015. Tianjin Expressway Maintenance has made reference to the consideration of certain historical transactions for similar services provided to Tianjin Expressway Group (including its subsidiaries and associated companies) as set out below when determining the consideration of the Continuing Connected Transactions. Tianjin Expressway Maintenance used the aggregate consideration, the consideration per kilometres and per square meters as reference point and made appropriate adjustments based on the factors mentioned above, including the prices set out in the Pricing Guidelines, the prevailing market prices of relevant raw materials, the duration and location of the projects.
