Entrusted construction service fee and the basis for determining such fee

The entrusted construction service fee to be received by Investment Company under the Entrusted Construction Management Agreement shall comprise the followings:

  1. Project construction fee

    1. The entrusted construction management service fee shall comprise the construction unit management fee and the construction unit supervision fee. During the effective term of the Entrusted Construction Management Agreement, the construction unit management fee and the construction unit supervision fee shall be RMB1.60 million and RMB2.10 million, respectively, which shall be received by Investment Company on a lump-sum basis.

    2. The lump-sum service fee shall cover the environmental impact consultation service fee, design papers vetting fee, tender agency service fee, indoor environment monitoring fee, planning delineation fee, completion surveying fee, property drawing and surveying fee with an aggregate amount of RMB0.70 million, which shall be received by Investment Company; other expenses not covered in the above shall be borne by SZ International Logistics on an as-incurred basis.

    3. The earthwork fee shall be determined by the controlled construction costs prepared by SZ International Logistics according to the drawings plans, for Investment Company to receive such lump-sum fee. If Investment Company accepts the aforesaid controlled construction costs, it shall arrange qualified construction unit to commence the construction works and determine the construction costs. Investment Company is entitled to receive or obliged to bear (as the case may be) the difference between the amount of the controlled construction costs and the actual construction costs. If Investment Company does not accept the aforesaid controlled construction costs, SZ International Logistics shall contract out such earthwork by tender, and Investment Company shall provide any assistance as may be required in such case.

      The aggregate amount of the aforesaid entrusted construction management service fee and lump-sum service fee is estimated at approximately RMB4.40 million, which shall be settled by SZ International Logistics in cash in the following manner:

      1. Payment of RMB0.88 million within 15 working days after the execution of the Entrusted Construction Management Agreement;

      2. Payment of RMB1.32 million within 15 working days after obtaining the construction permit for Logistics Hub Phase I;

      3. Payment of RMB1.32 million within 15 working days after the topping-out of the logistics facilities of Logistics Hub Phase I;

      4. Payment of RMB0.44 million within 15 working days after the inspection and acceptance upon completion of Logistics Hub Phase I;

      5. Settlement in full of the outstanding entrusted construction management service fee within 15 working days after finalising the financial accounts upon completion.

      6. If Investment Company agrees to the controlled earthwork costs prepared by SZ International Logistics and accepts that the lump-sum fee shall be based on such controlled value, SZ International Logistics shall pay the construction costs to the construction unit directly, and should the controlled earthwork costs exceed the construction costs, SZ International Logistics shall pay the difference to Investment Company within 15 working days after the settlement of the actual construction costs.

        The Company expects the controlled construction costs of the earthwork to be approximately RMB18.00 million.

      7. Performance-based bonuses or penalties (if any)

      8. The performance-based bonuses or penalties include work progress bonus of RMB100,000, safety management penalty of RMB50,000 per incident, and quality management penalty of RMB50,000. The company does not anticipate the aforesaid bonuses or penalties to have a material effect on the total amount of the entrusted construction service fee.

        After due conclusion of the inspection and acceptance process following completion of Logistics Hub Phase I, SZ International Logistics shall conduct appraisal of the work progress, safety and quality management of Logistics Hub Phase I in accordance with provisions relating to performance-based bonuses or penalties for entrusted construction projects, and shall, base on the outcome of such appraisal, grant the relevant bonus(es) to be paid to Investment Company or impose the relevant penalty(ies) to be deducted from amounts payable to Investment Company within 15 working days.

        The entrusted construction service fee has been arrived at through arm's length negotiations between Shenzhen Expressway (including Investment Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary) and SZ International Logistics. In arriving at the terms of the Entrusted Construction Management Agreement, Shenzhen Expressway has taken into account the scale of Logistics Hub Phase I and its past experience in the construction management sector.

        The entrusted construction service fee under the Entrusted Construction Management Agreement may be increased or reduced as a result of various factors, such as work modifications, delayed work schedules and Investment Company's performance of the Entrusted Construction Management Agreement. Based on reasonable judgement taking into account the terms of the Entrusted Construction Management Agreement and the scale of the entrusted construction management, the Company expects the total amount of entrusted construction service fee to be no more than RMB25.0 million (approximately HK$29.1 million). In the event that the total amount of project construction fee is expected to exceed RMB25.0 million (approximately HK$29.1 million), the Company will comply with the provisions of the Listing Rules in due course.
