THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

The Company's existing mandate to repurchase Shares was approved by ordinary resolutions at the annual general meeting held on 21 May 2020. Unless otherwise renewed, the existing mandate to repurchase Shares will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM.

At the AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed that the Directors be granted the Repurchase Mandate to exercise all powers of the Company to purchase Shares on the Stock Exchange, or on any other stock exchange on which the Shares may be listed, up to a maximum of 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution.

An explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to be sent to the Shareholders in connection with the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular. The explanatory statement contains all information reasonably necessary to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to approve the proposed granting of the Repurchase Mandate at the AGM.

THE ISSUE MANDATE

The Company's existing mandate to issue Shares was approved by ordinary resolutions at the annual general meeting held on 21 May 2020. Unless otherwise renewed, the existing mandate to issue Shares will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM.

An ordinary resolution will also be proposed at the AGM that the Directors be granted the Issue Mandate to issue, allot and deal with unissued Shares up to a maximum of 20% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there was a total of 3,956,638,000 Shares in issue. Subject to the passing of the resolution granting the Issue Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased before the AGM, the Company will be allowed to issue up to a maximum of 791,327,600 Shares.

In addition, an ordinary resolution will further be proposed at the AGM adding any Shares repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate to the Issue Mandate. The Repurchase Mandate and the Issue Mandate would continue in force until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company unless they are renewed at such meeting or until revoked or varied by ordinary resolutions of the Shareholders in a general meeting held prior to the next annual general meeting of the Company.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

EXTENSION OF ISSUE MANDATE

In addition, subject to the passing of the resolutions to grant the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to authorise the Directors to extend the Issue Mandate to allot and issue Shares by an amount of shares representing the aggregate nominal value of Shares purchased or repurchased by the Company pursuant to the authority granted to the Directors under the Repurchase Mandate provided that such extended amount shall not exceed 10% of the aggregate number of the issued Shares as at the date of passing the resolution for approving the Repurchase Mandate.

An explanatory statement required to be sent to the Shareholders under the Listing Rules is set out in Appendix I to this circular to provide the requisite information regarding the Repurchase Mandate to the Shareholders.

RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

In accordance with article 116 of the Articles of Association, Mr. Yang Dong, Ms. Liu Zhijun and Mr. Li Wai Keung ("Mr. Li") shall retire by rotation at the AGM.

The Company has in place a nomination policy which sets out, inter alia, the selection criteria (the "Criteria") and the evaluation procedures in nominating candidates to be appointed or re-appointed as Directors. The re-appointment of each of Mr. Yang Dong, Ms. Liu Zhijun and Mr. Li was recommended by the nomination committee of the Company (the "Nomination Committee"), and the Board has accepted the recommendations following a review of their overall contribution and service to the Company including their attendance of Board meetings and general meeting, the level of participation and performance on the Board, and whether they continue to satisfy the Criteria.

Biographical details of the above retiring Directors proposed for re-election at the AGM, which are required to be disclosed pursuant to the Listing Rules, are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

Further, pursuant to Appendix 14 to the Listing Rules, it is recommended that serving more than nine years could be relevant to the determination of a non-executive Director 's independence. If an independent non-executive Director serves more than nine years, any further appointment of such independent non-executive Director should be subject to a separate resolution to be approved by Shareholders.

Mr. Li has served on the Board for more than nine years but he has not held any executive or management position in the Group nor has he throughout such period been under the employment of any member of the Group. The Nomination Committee had reviewed the independence of Mr. Li, and Mr. Li also submitted annual confirmation to the Company on his fulfillment of the independence guidelines set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. The Nomination Committee has assessed by the selection criteria and the evaluation procedures set out in the nomination policy of the Company and is satisfied with the independence of Mr. Li. Moreover, based on the biographical information

- 6 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

disclosed to the Company, Mr. Li does not hold 7 or more listed company directorships and he continues to demonstrate his commitment to his role with the Company. The Directors noted the positive contributions of Mr. Li to the development of the Company's strategy and policies through independent, constructive and informed contributions supported by his skill, expertise and qualification and from his active participation at meetings. Hence, the Board considers that the long service of Mr. Li would not affect his exercise of independent judgment, and therefore considers Mr. Li to be independent and recommends Mr. Li to be re-elected. Mr. Li had abstained from deliberation and decision in respect of assessment of his own independence.

GRANT OF OPTIONS

Options granted to him in a particular grant under the

Share Option Scheme (the "One-thirdLimit"), except

for (i) approval by the Board to waive the One-third

Limit to Mr. An; (ii) subject to the compliance of the

applicable laws, rules and regulations, repurchase of

the Shares by the Company from Mr. An at market

price upon exercise by Mr. An of the Options granted;

In respect of the Options granted to Mr. An, the

The Shares to be issued and allotted upon the exercise of the Options will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares in issue as of the date when the name of Mr. An is registered on the register of members of the Company and accordingly will entitle the holder the same rights in relation to voting, dividends, transfers and other rights (including those arising on liquidation of the Company) as attached to the fully-paid Shares in issue in accordance with the Articles of Association.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had granted 379,263,800 Options carrying the rights to subscribe for an aggregate of 379,263,800 Shares (including the grant of Options to Mr. Woo on 14 April 2021), representing approximately 9.59% of the Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Other than the Share Option Scheme, the Company had no other share option scheme as at the Latest Practicable Date.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Upon exercise of the 392,663,800 Options granted to Mr. An under the Share Option Scheme, 392,663,800 new Shares will be issued by the Company, representing approximately 9.92% of the Shares in issue and having an aggregate value, based on the closing price of the Shares at the Date of Grant, of HK$133,505,692.

None of the Directors is a trustee of the Share Option Scheme nor has a direct or indirect interest in the trustee(s) of the Share Option Scheme.

Reasons for the Grant of Options to Mr. An

The Proposed Grant is to recognise the contributions of Mr. An to the business performance of the Group and as incentives for his continuing commitment and contribution to the Group in the future.

Mr. An has been appointed as the chairman of the Board and executive Director since July 2002. He has many years of experience in China business particularly in the provision and trading of petroleum products and petrochemicals, properties investments and developments in China. He is responsible for the overall strategic planning and business development of the Group.

The Group is principally engaged in providing integrated facilities of jetties, storage tanks, warehousing and logistic services in south China for petroleum and liquid chemicals products, offering value-added services in its own ports and storage tank farms, trading of oil and petrochemical products and operating a filling station business. As disclosed in the Company's annual results announcement dated 29 March 2021 for the year ended 31 December 2020, the Group's operating revenue has substantially increased by nearly 7 times in 2020 as compared to that of 2019, with the gross profit increased by nearly 60%. The results are primarily attributable to continuing performance in its traditional terminal storage business with expansion in the trading of oil and petrochemical products and filling station businesses that the Company embarked on under Mr. An's decision and leadership as the chairman of the Board. Mr. An has promptly established business relationship with major domestic and foreign business acquaintance by leveraging his accumulated clientele and market reputation through his years of experience in petroleum trading business, which has brought about domestic sales volume of oil and petrochemical products of approximately 500,000 metric tons from January 2020 to March 2021 as contributed by the PRC Subsidiary and overseas sales volume of oil and petrochemical products of approximately 150,000 metric tons for the 5-month period from November 2020 to March 2021 as contributed by the Hong Kong-based Subsidiary. The Directors are of the view that Mr. An is the main contributor for the Company being able to achieve remarkable results while the global economy suffered a severe blow from COVID-19, and therefore propose to grant the Options to Mr. An in recognition of his contribution and to encourage Mr. An to continue making contribution to the Company's business and financial performance. The Board considers that given Mr. An's expertise and management skills, his continued contribution to the Group will be of critical importance to the development and growth of the Group, and therefore it is appropriate to grant the Options as proposed as a reward in recognition of his significant efforts and contribution to the development of the Company.

- 9 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Having considered all the above factors, the Directors (including independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the conditional grant of 392,663,800 Options to Mr. An is fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders is concerned and is in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

Listing Rules Implications

Pursuant to Rule 17.03(4) of the Listing Rules and the Share Option Scheme, where the total number of Shares issued and to be issued upon exercise of the Options granted to a person (including exercised and outstanding Options) in any 12-month period exceeds 1% of the relevant class of Shares in issue, such grant must be approved by shareholders in general meeting. The grantee and his associates must abstain from voting at the general meeting.

In addition, pursuant to Rule 17.04(1) of the Listing Rules and the Share Option Scheme, any grant of Options to a substantial shareholder of the Company would result in the Shares issued and to be issued upon exercise of all Options already granted and to be granted (including Options exercised, cancelled and outstanding) under the Share Option Scheme or any other schemes of the Company to such person in the 12-month period up to and including the date of such grant (i) representing in aggregate over 0.1% of the Shares in issue; and (ii) having an aggregate value, based on the closing price of the Shares at the date of each grant, in excess of HK$5 million, such further grant of options must be approved by Shareholders in general meeting.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. An personally held 218,390,000 Shares, representing approximately 5.52% of the issued share capital of the Company, and was the holder of 243,763,800 Options carrying rights to subscribe for 243,763,800 Shares, representing approximately 6.16% of the issued share capital of the Company. Also, Mr. An was deemed to be interested in 2,548,203,980 Shares, representing approximately 64.4% of the issued share capital of the Company, by virtue of being a founder of a discretionary trust under the SFO. The trustee of such discretionary trust is Julius Baer Family Office & Trust Ltd. which wholly owns Extreme Wise Investments Ltd. and Vand Petro-Chemicals (BVI) Company Ltd. Extreme Wise Investments Ltd. held 209,773,980 Shares and Vand Petro-Chemicals (BVI) Company Ltd. held 2,338,430,000 Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date.

As (i) the total number of Shares issued and to be issued upon exercise of the Options proposed to be granted to Mr. An would in a 12-month period exceed 1% of the Shares in issue, and (ii) such grant would in a 12-month period represent over 0.1% of the Shares in issue, and has an aggregate value, based on the closing price of the Shares on 14 April 2021, in excess of HK$5 million, the Proposed Grant is subject to the approval by the Independent Shareholders where Mr. An and his associates and all core connected persons of the Company shall abstain from voting in favour of such resolution at the AGM pursuant to the Listing Rules. The Proposed Grant shall not take effect or be exercisable until such approval is obtained in proper compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

On 14 April 2021, the grant of Options to Mr. An was approved by the independent non-executive Directors, in accordance with Rule 17.04(1) of the Listing Rules.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REFRESHMENT OF SCHEME MANDATE LIMIT

The Share Option Scheme was approved and adopted by the Company on 28 December 2012. The purpose of the Share Option Scheme is, among other things, to attract, retain and motivate the Directors, the employees and senior management of the Group, to provide a means of compensating them through the grant of Options for their contribution to the benefit and success of the Group, and to allow them to participate in the growth and profitability of the Group. Apart from the Share Option Scheme, the Company has no other share option scheme currently in force. Pursuant to Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules and the Share Option Scheme, the total number of securities which may be issued upon exercise of all options to be granted under a share option scheme and any other schemes of a listed issuer must not in aggregate exceed 10% of the relevant class of securities of the listed issuer in issue as at the date of approval of the scheme. The listed issuer may seek approval by its shareholders in general meeting for "refreshing" the 10% limit under the scheme. However, the total number of securities which may be issued upon exercise of all options to be granted under all of the schemes of the listed issuer under the limit as "refreshed" must not exceed 10% of the relevant class of securities in issue as at the date of approval of the refreshed limit. Options previously granted under the schemes (including those outstanding, cancelled, lapsed in accordance with the scheme or exercised options) will not be counted for the purpose of calculating the limit as "refreshed". The Listing Rules also provide that the limit on the number of securities which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding options granted and yet to be exercised under the scheme must not exceed 30% of the relevant class of securities of the listed issuer in issue from time to time.

On 30 August 2018, the Company had granted 127,500,000 Options carrying the rights to subscribe for an aggregate of 127,500,000 Shares, of which 3,000,000 Options had lapsed, 2,000,000 Options had been forfeited, 49,000,000 Options have been exercised by the relevant grantees on 30 October 2020 respectively, with remaining balance of 73,500,000 Options remain outstanding. On 23 December 2020, the Company had granted 248,763,800 Options carrying the rights to subscribe for an aggregate of 248,763,800 Shares to Mr. An and Mr. Zhang Lei, an executive Director.

Subsequent to the adoption of the Share Option Scheme, the Scheme Mandate Limit was refreshed by an ordinary resolution passed on 25 January 2021 (the "Last Refreshment"). As at 25 January 2021, the total number of issued Shares was 3,956,638,000 Shares. The total number of Shares which may fall to be issued upon exercise of all Options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme was 395,663,800 Shares, representing 10% of the then total number of issued Shares as at 25 January 2021. For details of the Last Refreshment, please refer to the Company's circular dated 6 January 2021.

On 14 April 2021, the Company granted 3,000,000 Options carrying the rights to subscribe for 3,000,000 Shares to Mr. Woo, and 392,663,800 Options carrying the rights to subscribe for 392,663,800 Shares to Mr. An. Such grant of Options to Mr. An is subject to the conditions as set out in this circular, including the Independent Shareholders' approval. Upon completion of the Proposed Grant, the Company had utilised 100% of the existing maximum number of Shares which may be allotted and issued upon exercise of all share options granted and to be granted under the Share Option Scheme.

- 11 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Directors therefore consider that the refreshment of the existing Scheme Mandate Limit is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole as this will enable the Company to grant further share options to relevant participants to the Share Option Scheme, including Directors, employees and senior management of the Group.

Proposal

It is therefore proposed that subject to (i) the approval of the Shareholders at the AGM and (ii) the Stock Exchange granting the approval of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the new Shares to be allotted and issued upon exercise of any Options that may be granted under the refreshed Scheme Mandate Limit, the limit on the grant of Options under the Share Option Scheme will be refreshed to 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of the approval by the Shareholders at the AGM, and the Options previously granted under the Share Option Scheme (including those outstanding, cancelled, lapsed in accordance with such scheme(s) or exercised share options) will not be counted for the purpose of calculating the Scheme Mandate Limit.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 3,956,638,000 Shares in issue. Assuming that no further Shares will be issued prior to the AGM and the said refreshment is approved at the AGM, then the maximum number of Shares that can be allotted and issued upon the exercise of Options which may be granted by the Company pursuant to the Share Option Scheme under the refreshed Scheme Mandate Limit would be 395,663,800, being 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing the resolution approving the said refreshment at the AGM.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of Shares which might be issued upon exercise of all outstanding Options granted and yet to be exercised (taking no account of the Proposed Grant ) was 325,263,800 Shares (including the exercise of the Options granted to Mr. Woo on 14 April 2021), representing approximately 8.22% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date. Assuming that the Proposed Grant is approved by the Independent Shareholders at the AGM and that no Options granted under the Share Option Scheme are exercised from the Latest Practicable Date to the date of the AGM, immediately after the AGM, the Company will have 717,927,600 Options outstanding carrying the rights to subscribe for 717,927,600 Shares, representing approximately 18.14% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Accordingly, the grant of the Options to the Grantees will not exceed the overall limit of 30% of the Shares in issue from time to time as required under the Listing Rules.

Conditions

As required by the Share Option Scheme and the Listing Rules, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to approve the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit. The refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit is conditional upon:

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR

THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

The following is as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide certain information to the Shareholders for their consideration of the Repurchase Mandate.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 3,956,638,000 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased before the AGM, the Company will be allowed to repurchase up to a maximum of 395,663,800 Shares, being 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution for granting the Repurchase Mandate.

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders to seek a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to purchase its Shares on the Stock Exchange. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value and/or earnings per share of the Company and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Repurchases made pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate would be funded out of funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Company's memorandum and articles of association and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

4. IMPACT OF REPURCHASES

There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse impact on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing levels of the Company.

GENERAL

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules), have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will only exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands, and in accordance with the regulations set out in the memorandum and articles of association of the Company.

The Company has not been notified by any core connected person of the Company that such a person has a present intention to sell, or has undertaken not to sell, any Shares to the Company, if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR

THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

7. TAKEOVERS CODE

If, as a result of a repurchase of Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, a Shareholder 's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the Shareholders' interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Company, Mr. An, chairman of the Company, was interested in 2,766,593,980 Shares representing approximately 69.92% of the issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares which is proposed to be granted pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, the interest of Mr. An in the Company would be increased to approximately 77.69% of the total issued share capital of the Company. The Directors consider that such increase would not give rise to an obligation on Mr. An to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code but would reduce the percentage of Shares held by the public to less than 25% of the Company's total issued share capital. The Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as may result in the public shareholding falling below the minimum public float requirement.

Save as disclosed above, the Directors are currently not aware of any consequences which will arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any purchase made under the Repurchase Mandate.

8. DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS OF DIRECTORS, THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND CORE CONNECTED PERSON

As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the Directors nor, to the best of their respective knowledge and belief and having made all reasonable enquiries, their close associates (as defined under the Listing Rules), have any present intention, if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders and is exercised, to sell any Shares to the Company or any of its subsidiaries under the Repurchase Mandate.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, no core connected person of the Company (i) has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell any Shares; (ii) has undertaken to the Company that he/she/it will not sell any Shares held by him/her/it to the Company, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR

THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

9. MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE

As compared with the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2020 (being the date to which the latest audited accounts of the Company have been made up), the Directors consider that there would not be a material adverse impact on the working capital and on the gearing position of the Company in the event that the proposed repurchases were to be carried out in full during the proposed repurchase period.

The Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital of the Company or the gearing position which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

10. REPURCHASE OF SHARES MADE BY THE COMPANY

No Shares had been repurchased by the Company, whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise, in the last six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
