Therefore each of the Underwriter and the sub-underwriters will at no time hold 30% or more interests in Sino Gas upon the completion of the Open Offer as a result of taking up any unsubscribed Offer Shares. Pursuant to the Irrevocable Undertaking, CATIC, the substantial shareholder of Sino Gas, has irrevocably undertaken to procure its wholly-owned subsidiary to take up all its entitlement under the Open Offer (being 1,770,000,000 Offer Shares). The balance of the Offer Shares not taken up by the wholly-owned subsidiary of CATIC pursuant to the Irrevocable Undertaking, being not more than 5,729,033,510 Offer Shares, are underwritten by the Underwriter subject to and upon the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement. The Underwriter has indicated that it has no intention to become a substantial Sino Gas Shareholder (as defined in the Listing Rules) and in this connection, the Underwriter may take appropriate actions to dispose of the Offer Shares underwritten by it to third parties independent of the Group and connected persons (as defined under the Listing Rules) of the Group.
