EWP.-Hyflux has been awarded a concession by the Government of Zunyi City pursuant to an open bid to develop a wastewater treatment plant to treat up 150,000m3 of domestic wastewater per day for Zunyi City in north Guizhou province, China.

Hyflux, through its subsidiary in China, will develop the project on a Build-Own-Transfer ("BOT") arrangement. Besides undertaking the design and engineering, procurement and construction works, Hyflux will operate and maintain the plant on a 30-year concession. The Project is scheduled to complete construction in the second half of 2012.

The project's investment cost is estimated at approximately RMB 200 million. Hyflux will fund the investment through internal resources. The plant will be located in southern Zunyi City. The two main districts of Zunyi City have a combined population of about 800,000 people, and the whole region has a population of approximately seven million.

China remains a key market for Hyflux. China's water sector faces the significant challenges of pollution and water shortage and Hyflux will continue to pursue suitable investment opportunities in China.
