(Incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability)

(Stock code: 00560) COMPLETION OF MAJOR AND CONNECTED TRANSACTION AND CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS

Reference is made to the announcements of the Company dated 4 March 2016 and 24 March 2016 and the circular of the Company dated 29 March 2016 respectively, in which the Board announced that, among others, the Company entered into the Sun Kong Agreement with CKSE in relation to the Sun Kong Acquisition. The Board is pleased to announce that the Completion has taken place on 30 June 2016.

Prior to the Completion, Sun Kong Petroleum and its subsidiaries have been carrying out On-going Transactions with GNG Group. As GNG indirectly holds approximately 62.0% of the total number of issued shares of the Company, as at the date of this announcement, GNG is a connected person of the Company. Immediately after the Completion, Sun Kong Petroleum becomes a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As a result, the On-going Transactions carried out by Sun Kong Petroleum and its subsidiaries with GNG Group subsequent to the Completion shall constitute Continuing Connected Transactions under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. As the Directors intend to maintain existing business relationships of Sun Kong Petroleum and its subsidiaries with GNG Group after the Completion so as to increase the Group's revenue and profit and promote the market development of Sun Kong Petroleum and its subsidiaries, the Company entered into the Master Fuel Supply Agreement with GNG to govern the terms and conditions of the Continuing Connected Transactions.

As one or more of the applicable Percentage Ratios of the maximum Annual Cap is expected to be more than 0.1% but less than 5% on an annual basis, the Continuing Connected Transactions are only subject to the reporting, annual review and announcement requirements and exempt from the independent shareholders' approval requirement under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.
