CLARIFICATION ANNOUNCEMENT

The board of directors of the Company and all directors warrant that there are no false representations or misleading statements contained in, or material omissions from this announcement, and severally and jointly accept responsibilities for the truthfulness, accuracy and completeness of this announcement.

  1. Description on the rumour
    Recently, certain media reported that China Railway Construction Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Railway Construction Heavy Industry"), a subsidiary of the Company, has commenced its spin-off plan since last year, and has currently completed its conversion into a joint stock company. Railway Construction Heavy Industry complies with the new rules on spin-off and listing of A shares as set out by China Securities Regulatory Commission (the "CSRC"), and will in the future expedite the listing of its A shares.
  1. Clarification
    The relevant resolution in relation to the overseas listing of Railway Construction Heavy Industry has been considered and approved by the Company at the 8th meeting of the fourth session of the board of directors held in June 2018, and the relevant resolution has been subsequently approved at the 2018 first extraordinary general meeting convened in September 2018. The Company has since then been proactively promoting relevant work progresses while studying and analysing the relevant policies and requirements. There are still uncertainties about the specific scheme.
    In August 2019, the CSRC issued the Draft for Soliciting Opinions on Certain
    Provisions for the Pilot Scheme of Domestic Listing for Subsidiary Companies Derived from the Divestiture of Listed Companies( 上 市 公 司 分 拆 所 屬 子 公 司 境 內 上 市 試 點 若 干 規 定(徵 求 意 見 稿)》) (hereinafter referred to as the "Provisions") in order to seek public opinions on the Provisions, the Company has also initiated research on the relevant content of the Provisions. As of the date of this announcement, CSRC is still soliciting opinion on the Provisions and relevant conditions and provisions of spin-offlisting are not yet determined. As such, the Company is still uncertain whether it fulfils the relevant provisions required by the CSRC in relation to spin-offlisting, and the relevant matters have not yet undergone the review procedures of the board of directors and the general meeting, thus there still exists considerable uncertainties regarding the spin-offlisting of Railway Construction Heavy Industry.
