　　Article 1: Eligible Recipients

　　An investment intermediary (hereinafter referred to as the “Intermediary”) refers to a key entity or individual that directly introduces and facilitates the investment of high-quality industrial projects in the High-Tech Zone; has been confirmed by the investor as having established contact with the principal investment promotion department; and has played a substantive facilitating role in project negotiations, ultimately leading to the project’s signing, establishment, operation, and tax payment. An Intermediary may be a natural person, a legal entity, or another organization, and shall be jointly determined by the investor and the principal investment promotion department.

　　Article 2: Requirements for Introduced Projects

　　Projects introduced by intermediaries refer to new manufacturing projects or headquarters economy projects established or relocated within the jurisdiction of the High-Tech Zone by investment entities outside Xiangtan City (excluding capital increase and expansion projects, as well as equity investment projects).Additionally, the following conditions must be met: (1) The project must align with the High-Tech Zone’s “Two Main, One Special” industrial positioning and meet the basic requirements for establishing a “Five-Good” industrial park; (2) The investor must sign a project entry agreement with the High-Tech Zone; (3) The intermediary must complete the investment promotion intermediary registration procedures prior to the signing of the introduced project; (4) The project must meet at least one of the reward standards specified in Article 3 of these Measures.

　　Article 3: Reward Standards

　　(1) Foreign Capital Target Achievement Reward.If an introduced project signs an entry agreement with the High-Tech Zone and, within one year (12 months) from the date the project company completes registration (or relocation) in the High-Tech Zone, the paid-in foreign capital portion of the registered capital reaches RMB 30 million or more (including), the High-Tech Zone shall reward the intermediary at a rate of one-thousandth of the paid-in registered capital (excluding municipal, district fiscal, and state-owned capital contributions) within the corresponding period, with the total reward amount not exceeding RMB 500,000.

　　(2) Fixed Asset Investment Threshold Incentive. Where an introduced project signs an entry agreement with the High-Tech Zone, and the project company’s fixed asset investment (limited to buildings on land, factory renovations, and production equipment) reaches RMB 100 million or more within two years (24 months) from the date of completion of registration (or relocation) in the High-Tech Zone, the High-Tech Zone shall award the intermediary 0.1% of the fixed asset investment amount, with the total incentive not exceeding RMB 1 million.

　　(3) Economic Contribution Incentive. For introduced projects that sign an entry agreement with the High-Tech Zone, and where the project company’s economic contribution exceeds 2 million yuan (inclusive) within one year (12 months) from the date of completion of registration (or relocation) in the High-Tech Zone, the High-Tech Zone shall award the intermediary 10% of the actual fiscal revenue collected by the district-level government during the corresponding period.

　　(4) Other Reward Standards. If a single introduced project meets all three of the above reward criteria, the rewards may be stacked. For newly introduced landmark projects that have a significant impact on the economic and social development of the High-Tech Zone, rewards for intermediaries may be determined on a case-by-case basis, with specific decisions made by the Party Working Committee and Administrative Committee of the High-Tech Zone.
