Taking 8:00 a.m. on the Closing Date as the time point for stocktaking of Pipeline Inventory, Marketing Company and PipeChina shall perform stocktaking of Pipeline Inventory, which is expected to be approximately 1.27 million tonnes. The products quality and volume of Pipeline Inventory to be delivered shall be examined and confirmed by auditor jointly appointed by Marketing Company and PipeChina.
3. Unit Price of Pipeline Inventory
Marketing Company and PipeChina agreed that the unit price of refined oil products is confirmed and calculated based on the following formula:
Unit price of refined oil products = (unit price base of refined oil products as at the Valuation Date + unit price base of refined oil products as at the Closing Date) / 2 (Unit: RMB /tonne).
Unit price base of refined oil products (distinguish gasoline and diesel product specifications): unit price base of gasoline and diesel is determined respectively by the average price of the highest retail prices of standard gasoline and diesel products in 30 provinces, municipalities and central cities across the PRC published by National Development and Reform Commission, multiplied by the quality ratios of gasoline and diesel, with RMB500 deducted per tonne.
The unit price base of refined oil products shall be tax inclusive. Price (tax exclusive) = price (tax inclusive) ÷ 1.13.
4. Total Price of Pipeline Inventory and Payment
The total price of Pipeline Inventory is determined based on the volume and the unit price of Pipeline Inventory confirmed separately in accordance with the Pipeline Inventory Disposal Agreement. It is expected that the total price of Pipeline Inventory shall be approximately RMB7.7 billion (tax exclusive). Within 5 days after the audit confirmation, Marketing Company and PipeChina shall confirm the total price of Pipeline Inventory in the Target Assets in terms of various types and locations and sign the confirmation letters regarding the price of each part of the Pipeline Inventory. PipeChina shall pay in one lump-sum the total price of the Pipeline Inventory to the designated bank account of Marketing Company before 31 October 2020 in the amounts as confirmed in all confirmation letters of the price of each part of Pipeline Inventory.
