Based on current estimates, the total purchase price for the new equipment will be approximately RMB 278 million (or US$42.8 million), including approximately RMB 254 million (or US$39.1 million) for the 20 production lines and their auxiliary equipment and approximately RMB 24 million (or US$3.69 million) for the 77 sets of Research & Development ("R&D") and inspection equipment.

Mr. Jie Han, Chairman and CEO of China XD Plastics, said, "The approval of our plan to purchase an additional 20 production lines and new R&D testing equipment will enable the Company to achieve its production capacity target one year ahead of our original schedule, as well as upgrading the efficiency and effectiveness of our equipment. In addition, the new production lines will allow us to increase production of higher-value-added and higher-margin products and maintain our leading position among our domestic peers, which is a key element of our long-term production capacity expansion strategy. The underlying fundamentals of our industry remain strong, and we are confident that we will be able to maintain on our strong growth track record to continuously and steadily maximize shareholder value."
