China Construction Bank Corporation and China Merchants Bank Co. Ltd. act as the joint lead underwriters to form the underwriting syndicate for the Debentures, which will be placed through book-building and issued in the domestic bond market among banks. The proceeds from the Debentures will be used principally to settle part of the bank loans so as to improve its debt structure and to supplement short term operational working capital.

The relevant documents in respect of the Debentures are posted on China Money and Shanghai Clearing House on websites of www.chinamoney.com.cn and www.shclearing.com, respectively.

The Debentures do not constitute any transaction under Chapter 14 and Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.
