THE ADDITIONAL NOTES ISSUE

Introduction

Reference is made to the Announcements in respect of the Original Notes. Unless otherwise defined, terms defined in this announcement shall have the same meanings as defined in the Announcements.

The Company proposes to conduct a further international offering of US$-denominated senior notes on terms and conditions of the Original Notes, save for the issue date and the offer price.

Details of the Additional Notes Issue, including the aggregate principal amount and the offer price for the Additional Notes, will be determined through a book building exercise to be conducted by BNP PARIBAS, BOC International, BOCOM International, CEB International, China International Capital Corporation, CMB International, Guotai Junan International, HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank and UBS.

The completion of the Additional Notes Issue is subject to market conditions and investors' interest.

The Company will make a further announcement in respect of the Additional Notes Issue upon the signing of the Purchase Agreement.

The Additional Notes may only be offered, sold or delivered to non-U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act) outside the United States in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. None of the Additional Notes will be offered to the public in Hong Kong and none of the Additional Notes will be placed with any connected person of the Company. The Additional Notes will not be the subject of a public offering in any jurisdiction.
