THE PRIVATIZATION PROPOSAL

On 15 September 2020, the Company submitted the Proposal Letter to Ossen Innovation in connection with a proposal for the privatization of Ossen Innovation, a subsidiary of the Company which has its ADSs listed on NASDAQ (stock code: OSN). Pursuant to the Proposal Letter, the Company proposed to acquire all the outstanding shares in Ossen Innovation not already owned by the Group or its affiliates, at the price of US$5.00 in cash per ADS, or US$1.667 in cash per Ossen Share. Each ADSs represents three Ossen Shares. As at the date of this announcement, the Company, through Acme Innovation holds approximately 65.9% of the issued share capital of Ossen Innovation.

If the Privatization Proposal proceeds and base on the indicative offer price in the Proposal Letter, it is expected that the total amount to be expended by the Company under the Privatization Proposal will be approximately US$11.2 million (approximately RMB76.1 million based on an exchange rate of US$1:RMB6.77) and the amount will be funded by the Company's internal resources and bank financing. In addition, it is expected that Ossen Innovation will be delisted from NASDAQ and become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group.
