Proposal I
Proposal to Provide Guarantees for ICOL
Dear shareholders and shareholder representatives:
SDIC Power Holdings Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as the "Company") intends to provide a joint liability guarantee of not more than GBP 25 million and EUR 6.8 million for Inch Cape Offshore Limited (hereinafter referred to as "ICOL"), a joint venture company in which it holds a 50% indirect stake. The details are listed below:
I. Overview of the Guarantee
ICOL, a British company indirectly owned by the Company, is responsible for the construction of the offshore wind power project, and the preliminary work of the project is progressing as planned. The Project Department has determined, through the ICOL bidding process, that Siemens Energy Limited and Iemants NC (hereinafter referred to as the "S&I Consortium") have won the substation EPC contract and signed the Substation EPC Procurement Contract on June 28, 2022. According to the Contract, ICOL shall be liable for any cancellation of the Contract due to various reasons and shall pay the S&I Consortium the contract cancellation fee. For these reasons, the Company intends to provide ICOL with a parent company performance guarantee of up to GBP 25 million and EUR 6.8 million to guarantee the contractual cancellation payment obligations of ICOL.
II. Basic Information of the Guarantee
(I) Basic Information of the Guarantee
ICOL was founded on February 17, 2010. The registered office is located at 5th Floor, 40 Princes Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2BY, Scotland, United Kingdom. The Company has a registered capital of GBP 51.1 million and its main business is renewable energy production (offshore wind power development).
As of December 31, 2021, the unaudited financial data of ICOL were: the total assets were GBP 140.27 million, total liabilities were GBP 116.80 million (total bank loan was GBP 0 and total current liabilities were GBP 105.42 million) and net assets were GBP 23.47 million. In 2021, the operating revenue was 0 and the net profit was GBP 2.93 million.
As of June 30, 2022, the unaudited financial data of ICOL were: the total assets were GBP 170.77 million, total liabilities were GBP 148.24 million (total bank loan was GBP 0 and total current liabilities were GBP 136.81 million) and net assets were GBP 22.53 million. The operating revenue from January to June 2022 was 0 and the net profit was GBP -0.94 million.
(II) Correlation between the Guarantee and the Company
ICOL is a joint venture company jointly controlled by the Company and Irish Power Company.
III. Main Contents of Guarantee Agreement
Guarantee method: joint liability guarantee
Guarantee type: credit guarantee
Guarantee period: from the date of signing the guarantee to the date of financial closure of the Project
Guarantee amount: up to GBP 25 million and EUR 6.8 million
Guarantee content: ICOL and the S&I Consortium signed the Substation EPC Procurement Contract on June 28, 2022. If the contract signed with the S&I Consortium is canceled due to various reasons of ICOL, which triggers ICOL's cancellation payment liability, the Company and Ireland Power Company will guarantee the payment liability according to the project shareholding ratio. The Company will provide a 50% parent company guarantee for this liability, i.e. no more than GBP 25 million and EUR 6.8 million.
Counter-guarantee and its form: N/A
IV. Necessity and Rationality of Guarantee
The UK Offshore Wind Power Project held by ICOL is the key to implementing the Company's "14th Five-Year Plan" international strategic plan and stably deploying overseas businesses. The substation EPC contract is the first key infrastructure project site of the Project. The provision of this parent company guarantee will ensure the smooth progress of infrastructure construction.
The risk of this guarantee is controllable considering that the S&I Consortium has provided ICOL with the appropriate parent company guarantee as well as a performance guarantee, and the possibility of ICOL canceling the substation EPC contract when it has already won the UK Government Contract for Difference (CfD) is extremely low. So the guarantee to ICOL is not detrimental to the interests of the Company and its shareholders.
V. Accumulative Number of External Guarantees and Overdue Guarantees
As of the disclosure date of the announcement, the guarantee balance actually provided by the Company for ICOL Company is 20,416.7 thousand RMB. The external guarantee balance of the Company (including the guarantee provided to the controlled subsidiaries) is 1,908,204.8 thousand RMB, and the guarantee balance to the controlled subsidiaries (excluding the guarantee amount) is 1,887,788.1 thousand RMB, accounting for 3.71% and 3.67% of the Company's latest audited owner's equity attributable to the parent company respectively.
Therefore, the guarantee is submitted to the General Meeting of Shareholders for approval; The Chairman or the person authorized by the Chairman is authorized to modify, submit, report, sign, execute and other legal documents related to this guarantee within the guarantee amount; The Chairman or the person authorized by the Chairman is authorized to handle all other matters in connection with this guarantee.
The above proposal was deliberated and approved at the 49th meeting of the eleventh Board of Directors on August 19, 2022, and is hereby submitted to the shareholders and shareholders' representatives for deliberation and approval.
Please deliberate on the above proposal.
