HONG KONG, CHINA - Media OutReach - 4th May 2017 - Beijing Gas Blue Sky Holdings Limited ("the Company" or "Beijing Gas Blue Sky", together with its subsidiaries, the "Group", HKSE: 6828) is pleased to announce that, Goldlink Capital Limited ("Glodlink Capital"), a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, conditionally agreed to purchase the entire issued share capital of OctoNet Limited ("OctoNet") and August Zone Limited ("August Zone") at a total Consideration of RMB360 million (equivalent to approximately HK$419 million).

The principal business of Jilin Haoyuan is (i) supply of piped gas to residential households, commercial users and public buildings (e.g. school, restaurants, hospitals and commercial complex); and (ii) operation of two compressed natural gas refueling stations for vehicles. Jilin Haoyuan entered into a franchise operation agreement  with the Public Utility Bureau authorised by the local government of Songyuan City in Jilin Province, in which Jilin Haoyuan was granted the exclusive operation rights for a term of 30 years commencing from 1 January 2004 to 1 January 2034 for the supply of natural gas via gas pipelines within the Urban Planning Area in Songyuan City.

Mr. Tommy Cheng, Co-Chairman and Executive Director of the Group said that "The Acquisitions shall provide an excellent opportunity for the Group to extend our geographical coverage and enlarge our market share in relation to natural gas business. The Company can become an important player in the city gas sector, which can increase the revenue streams of the Group, thus generating more investment value for investors and Shareholders. We believe that, Jilin Haoyuan shall benefit from the Chinese government's "coal-to-gas" policy, pursuant to which more commercial users and public buildings in the district are considering to switch to use gas-fired boilers in replacement of old coal-fired boilers for heating and air-conditioning purpose. In addition, it is expected that there will be further new connections to residential households by Jilin Haoyuan, in view of new real estate projects to be completed in Songyuan City and the conversion to piped gas by existing residential areas."
