(hereinafter referred to as "Rongsheng Holdings"), at the same time, in 2020, the related parties of Rongsheng Holdings suddenly entered the shares of Xingtong Shares, and Rongsheng Holdings indirectly acquired the equity of Xingtong Shares.

"Airborne" the first largest customer

Rongsheng Holdings holds 100% of the equity of Zhejiang Rongtong Logistics Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Rongtong Logistics") and adopts the equity of Zhejiang Rongtong Petrochemical Co., Ltd. (securities abbreviation: Rongsheng Petrochemical, stock code: 002493. SZ) controls Zhejiang Petrochemical Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Zhejiang Petrochemical").

According to the prospectus, in 2020, the sales amount of Xingtong shares to Zhejiang Petrochemical was 90.3832 million yuan, the sales amount to Rongtong Logistics was 8.956 million yuan, and the total sales amount to Rongsheng Holdings was 99.3391 million yuan, and Rongsheng Holdings became the largest customer of Xingtong shares in 2020. However, Rongsheng Holdings did not appear among the top five customers of Xingtong shares in 2018 and 2019.

Judging from the disclosed data, the fifth largest customer of Xingtong shares in 2019 is China Aviation Oil Group Haixin Shipping Co., Ltd., and the sales amount of Xingtong shares to it is 17.5587 million yuan. Considering that the sales amount of Xingtong shares to Rongsheng Holdings in 2019 should not be higher than the above amount, the sales amount of Xingtong shares to Rongsheng Holdings in 2020 will increase by at least 81.7804 million yuan compared with 2019. At the same time, the overall operating income of Xingtong Shares in 2020 increased by 94.4709 million yuan compared with 2019, according to this calculation, the increase in the sales amount of Xingtong Shares to Rongsheng Holdings contributed more than 86.57% of the increase in its operating income.

Xingtong co., Ltd. explained that in 2020, Rongsheng Holdings became its largest customer, mainly because the 40 million tons /year refining and chemical integration project (phase I) invested by Zhejiang Petrochemical was fully put into operation in December 2019, and the transportation demand of Zhejiang Petrochemical increased sharply in 2020. In order to ensure the stability of product transportation, Rongsheng Holdings is widely looking for high-quality shipowner enterprises in the industry to cooperate, and Xingtong Shares, as the industry leader, matches the transportation needs of Zhejiang Petrochemical. In 2020, Xingtong co., Ltd. invested more in ship services Rongsheng Holdings, which made the sales revenue of Rongsheng Holdings increase significantly.

With the sudden acquisition of shares by related parties, Rongsheng Holdings indirectly held shares in Xingtong Shares

Xingtong co., Ltd. submitted the prospectus for the first time in May 2021, and in the year before the filing, Xingtong Co., Ltd. implemented two capital increases in May and August 2020, respectively, at a price of 8 yuan per share and 13.5 yuan per share, respectively.

In just 3 months, the capital increase price of Xingtong shares rose by 68.75%, in this regard, Xingtong shares explained that in June 2020, the company achieved new transportation capacity with the first place, and is expected to put into operation 2 chemical tankers in the second half of 2020, with a total capacity of about 57,500 dwt, and 1 new refined oil tanker, with a total capacity of about 50,000 deadweight tons. Compared with the end of 2019, the company's total chemical ship capacity increased by 96.64%, and the total capacity of refined oil tankers increased by 568.18%, and the expected significant increase in transportation capacity significantly increased the company's market value.

Coincidentally, in 2020, in addition to "airborne" to become the largest customer of Xingtong shares, Rongsheng Holdings also indirectly obtained the equity of Xingtong shares through capital increase.

Rongsheng Holdings holds 100% of the shares of Zhejiang Rongsheng Venture Capital Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Rongsheng Venture Capital"), holds 47.17% of the shares of Hangzhou Mingcheng Zhihui Phase I Equity Investment Partnership (Limited Partnership) (hereinafter referred to as "Mingcheng Zhihui Phase I"), and holds 25% of the equity of Mingcheng Zhihui (Hangzhou) Equity Investment Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Mingcheng Investment"), the executive partner of Mingcheng Zhihui I, and Mingcheng Investment holds a 0.94% share of Mingcheng Zhihui Phase I. Rongsheng Venture Capital and Ming Cheng Zhihui Phase I both participated in the two rounds of capital increase of Xingtong shares.

In May 2020, Ming Cheng Zhihui Phase I and Rongsheng Venture Capital invested 40 million yuan and 14 million yuan respectively to obtain 3.62% and 1.27% of the equity of Xingtong shares; in August, Ming Cheng Zhihui Phase I and Rongsheng Venture Capital invested 7.29 million yuan and 2.7 million yuan respectively to increase the capital of Xingtong shares again. Prior to the offering, Rongsheng Venture Capital directly held 1.30% of the shares of Xingtong shares, and Ming Cheng Zhihui Phase I directly held 3.69% of the shares of Xingtong shares.

In short, in 2020, the related parties of Rongsheng Holdings suddenly invested in Xingtong shares and indirectly acquired the equity of Xingtong shares, and in the same year, the growth of Xingtong shares' operating income seems to be mainly due to the growth of sales to Rongsheng Holdings.
