The announcement is as follows:
1、 The announcement disclosed that after Guoxin Huaxia coordinated and arranged the listed company to complete the introduction of strategic resources, Furun group entrusted Guoxin Huaxia with the voting right of no less than 5.24% of the total shares of the listed company according to the project situation. The company is requested to: (1) clarify the specific meaning of "coordinating and arranging listed companies to complete the introduction of strategic resources", the standards for the completion and the time limit requirements( 2) Clarify the time limit of voting right entrustment, whether it can be revoked and the conditions for revocation( 3) State whether there is consideration arrangement for voting right entrustment. If so, please disclose the specific agreement( 4) Combined with the relevant arrangements of voting power entrustment, the risk is fully indicated.
(1) To clarify the specific meaning of "coordinating and arranging listed companies to complete the introduction of strategic resources", the standards for determining the completion and the time limit requirements;
reply:
According to the framework agreement on share transfer signed by the controlling shareholder Furun group and Guoxin Huaxia, Furun group will entrust part of the voting rights of its shares to Guoxin Huaxia after Guoxin Huaxia coordinates and arranges the listed company to complete the introduction of strategic resources. The transferee will coordinate and arrange the listed companies to complete the introduction of strategic resources, mainly to coordinate the listed companies and the resource parties related to the existing big data business for project contact and docking, and complete the project implementation.
In 2020, the listed companies have completed the stripping of traditional business such as printing and dyeing, and are committed to concentrating resources to develop emerging businesses with internet marketing and data analysis as the core. Guoxin Huaxia, the transferee, is a wholly-owned enterprise under China Guoxin Information Corporation. China Guoxin Information Corporation is subordinate to the National Information Center. The business scope of Guoxin Huaxia's subsidiary holding companies covers aviation logistics, high-tech, information technology, property management, supply chain management and other fields. As of December 31, 2020, the total assets of Guoxin Huaxia are 2.990 billion yuan, the net assets are 613 million yuan, and the asset liability ratio is 79.46%; In 2020, the operating revenue is 589 million yuan, and the net profit is 10 0235 million yuan( The above financial data are taken from Guoxin Huaxia's audited consolidated financial statements in 2020). Guoxin Huaxia and its controlling shareholders have no plans to inject assets into listed companies.
At present, Guoxin Huaxia and China Guoxin Information Corporation have reached investment agreements or cooperation intentions with several local governments on IDC (Data Center) construction projects. After Guoxin Huaxia becomes a shareholder of the listed company, it will actively coordinate and arrange the listed company to become the main participant of IDC projects in various regions. According to the further communication between the two sides of the transaction, it is clear that the content of introducing strategic resources is not less than 10000 cabinets or IDC projects with an investment scale of 1 billion yuan; The completion standard is to realize the formal contract signing of the project and obtain the approval approval from the competent government departments; The completion time is within 6 months after the completion of 9% share transfer. At present, the transferor has not signed a formal agreement on the specific content, completion standard and time cycle of the above strategic resources introduction
In the agreement.
In this transaction, Guoxin Huaxia coordinated the introduction of strategic resources by listed companies as the precondition of voting power entrustment, mainly considering that IDC projects need to be approved by government departments, which has certain uncertainty. Guoxin Huaxia's transfer of 9% shares is mainly based on the judgment of the long-term value of the listed company and the recognition of the existing business development potential of the listed company. If it fails to introduce the project of continuously improving the company's value for the listed company, it is willing to be the strategic shareholder of the listed company for a long time and jointly promote the business development of the listed company with the controlling shareholder.
(2) Clarify the time limit of voting right entrustment, whether it can be revoked and the conditions for revocation;
reply:
According to the framework agreement on share transfer, voting power entrustment is subject to preconditions, and the two parties have not set a time limit for voting right entrustment. On the basis of ensuring the stability of the control right of the listed company, both parties will agree on the entrustment period when signing the voting power entrustment agreement. Up to now, the preconditions of voting right entrustment have not been met, the two parties have not signed the voting right entrustment agreement, and the control right has not been changed. Investors should pay attention to the risks.
If the trustee violates laws and regulations and damages the interests of listed companies and shareholders and is subject to administrative punishment, the authorization of voting rights can be revoked. If the transferee continues to increase the shares of the listed company in the future and can meet the identification standard of the actual controller without considering the entrustment of voting rights, the voting right will be automatically revoked.
(3) State whether there is consideration arrangement for voting right entrustment. If so, please disclose the specific agreement;
reply:
There is no consideration arrangement for voting right entrustment.
(4) Combined with the relevant arrangements of voting power entrustment, the risk is fully indicated.
reply:
1. The premise of the delegation of the voting right is that the transferee coordinates the introduction of strategic resources for the listed company, whether it can be introduced or not, and the introduction time are uncertain;
2. Guoxin Huaxia becoming a shareholder of the company is a long-term cooperation arrangement based on the common values and the consensus of the future development goals of listed companies. Controlling shareholders set up the preconditions of voting rights entrustment, in order to better protect the interests of listed companies and shareholders. If the preconditions are satisfied, the controlling shareholders are willing to transfer more decision-making power of listed companies to Guoxin Huaxia. But at present, the preconditions of voting right entrustment are not satisfied, the voting power entrustment agreement has not been signed, and the transfer parties have not yet agreed on the term and method of voting right entrustment. In this process, there is a risk of disagreement between the two sides. Both sides promise to perform their respective rights and obligations in strict accordance with the requirements of laws and regulations. Please pay attention to the investment risks.

The prerequisite for the above equity transfer is that Guoxin Huaxia has completed due diligence and is satisfied with the results, and has been approved by the competent authorities of both parties.

By the end of May 2021, the stock pledge rate of Furun group reached 48.98%. The main purpose of the share transfer funds of Furun group is to repay bank loans and reduce debts and burdens.

(2) The approval procedures, due diligence schedule, expected due diligence result issuing time, etc. of the above equity transaction shall be fully indicated in combination with the actual situation.

Therefore, it is believed that the company's control right will change. Please explain whether the company's determination of the actual controller complies with the relevant provisions such as the administrative measures for the acquisition of listed companies and other relevant provisions, and whether the relevant transaction arrangements are conducive to maintaining the stability of the company's control power in combination with the shareholding ratio of all subsequent parties, the seats of the board of directors, personnel arrangement, and daily business decisions.
