SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT

TO THE REVERSE FACTORING AGREEMENT AND

FURTHER DELAY IN DESPATCH OF CIRCULAR

Reference is made to the announcement of Yue Da International Holdings Limited (the "Company") dated 30 September 2019 (the "Announcement") in relation to the Reverse Factoring Agreement entered into among Yueda Commercial Factoring, the Project Companies and YDRE. Unless otherwise defined, capitalised terms used herein shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Announcement.

SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT

On 5 November 2019, Yueda Commercial Factoring entered into a supplemental agreement (the "Supplemental Agreement") with the Project Companies and YDRE, pursuant to which the interest rate and factoring administration fees in respect of all revolving reverse factoring loans made to the Project Companies under the Reverse Factoring Agreement shall be amended to a range of 10% to 12% of the loan principal, with the exact interest rate and factoring administration fees to be determined by the parties through arm's length negotiations taking into account: (i) the credit assessment of YDRE; (ii) the credit period; (iii) the factoring loan is guaranteed by YDRE; and (iv) the interest rates and factoring administration fees of similar services offered to the Independent Third Parties.

Save and except for the aforesaid modification to the interest rate and factoring administration fees, all other terms of the Reverse Factoring Agreement remain unchanged and continue in full force and effect.

The Directors believe that the terms of the Supplemental Agreement are fair and reasonable and are in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
