LETTER FROM THE BOARD

VIII. IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE HONG KONG LISTING RULES AND WAIVER FROM STRICT COMPLIANCE WITH NOTE 1 TO RULE 17.03(9) AND RULE 17.03(13) OF THE HONG KONG LISTING RULES

The Revised Share Option Incentive Scheme constitutes a share option scheme under Chapter 17 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules. Accordingly, any grant of Share Options under the Revised Share Option Incentive Scheme to any Participant who is a connected person of the Company will be exempted from all the reporting, announcement and independent Shareholders' approval requirements pursuant to Rule 14A.92(3)(a) of the Hong Kong Listing Rules.

Note 1 to Rule 17.03(9) of the Hong Kong Listing Rules

According to Note 1 to Rule 17.03(9) of the Hong Kong Listing Rules, the exercise price of the relevant share options must be at least the higher of (i) the closing price of the securities as stated in the daily quotations sheet of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on the date of grant, which must be a business day; and (ii) the average closing price of the securities as stated in the daily quotations sheets of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for the five business days immediately preceding the date of grant.

On the basis of the following factors, the Company has applied for, and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange has granted a waiver from strict compliance with Note 1 to Rule 17.03(9) of the Hong Kong Listing Rules in respect of the exercise price of the Share Options that may be granted under the Revised Share Option Incentive Scheme:

  1. The proposed terms of the Revised Share Option Incentive Scheme, including the proposed basis of determination of the exercise price of the Share Options, are prepared in accordance with the relevant requirements under the PRC laws and regulations.
  2. According to the PRC legal advisers to the Company, the basis of determination of the exercise price of the Share Options under the Revised Share Option Incentive Scheme is required by and in accordance with the relevant rules and regulations promulgated by the CSRC and the SASAC, which are the relevant regulatory bodies governing the market of the A Shares in the PRC and the operations of state-owned enterprises, respectively, and such method of determination is in line with the market practice in the PRC.
  3. As the shares to be issued upon the exercise of the Share Options are all A Shares, it would be inappropriate for the Company to use the closing price of the H Shares as stated in the daily quotations sheet of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange as references in determining the exercise price of the Share Options as required under Note 1 to Rule 17.03(9) of the Hong Kong Listing Rules.

- 15 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. Further, while the proposed basis of determination of the exercise price of the Share Options under the Revised Share Option Incentive Scheme deviates from the requirements under Note 1 to Rule 17.03(9) of the Hong Kong Listing Rules, the proposed exercise price of the Share Options will reflect the prevailing market price of the A Shares at the time of the proposed grant of the Share Options. As such, the mechanism for the determination of the exercise price of the Share Options is in line with the principles of Note 1 to Rule 17.03(9) of the Hong Kong Listing Rules.
  2. The proposed adoption of the Revised Share Option Incentive Scheme will be subject to the approval of the Shareholders at the EGM and the Class Meetings. The Company is of the view that the Shareholders and in particular, the holders of the H Shares, will have the opportunity to fully consider and evaluate the principal terms of the Revised Share Option Incentive Scheme.
  3. Save for the basis of determination of the exercise price of the Share Options and the Adjustment for Dividend Distribution, all other proposed terms of the Revised Share Option Incentive Scheme will be in compliance with the requirements under Chapter 17 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. The aggregate number of the underlying Shares of the Revised Share Option Incentive Scheme is 88,474,448 A Shares, comprising (i) 79,627,003 A Shares repurchased and held by the Company; and (ii) 8,847,445 A Shares to be issued by the Company. Assuming that all of the 88,474,448 Share Options are granted and fully exercised pursuant to the terms of the Revised Share Option Incentive Scheme, the number of new A Shares to be issued pursuant to the aforementioned full exercise of the Share Options is 8,847,445 A Shares, representing only approximately 0.0762% of the existing total issued share capital of the Company and 0.1115% of the existing A Share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date. The dilutive impact of the Revised Share Option Incentive Scheme (if any) is minimal. Further, according to the relevant PRC laws and regulations, the issue price of a Share shall not be below the nominal value of the Shares and therefore, the A Shares shall not be issued at less than its nominal value of RMB1 per A Share pursuant to the exercise of the Share Options.
  2. The A Shares, being the underlying Shares of the Share Options, have been trading at a premium over the H Shares. Taking into account the deviation in the trading prices of the A Shares and the H Shares, the dilutive impact on the holders of the H Shares as a result of the issue of new A Shares pursuant to the exercise of the Share Options (if any) is negligible. Further details of the prices of the A Shares and the H Shares are set out below:
    1. the closing price of the A Shares as quoted on the Shanghai Stock Exchange as at the trading day immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date is RMB2.21 per A Share;
    2. the highest and lowest trading price of the A Shares as quoted on the Shanghai Stock Exchange during the period of 52 weeks immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date is RMB3.78 per A Share and RMB1.97 per A Share, respectively;
    3. the average closing price of the A Shares as quoted on the Shanghai Stock Exchange for the period of 52 weeks immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date is approximately RMB2.72 per A Share;
    4. the closing price of the H Shares as quoted on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange as at the trading day immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date is HK$0.87 per H Share;
    5. the highest and lowest trading price of the H Shares as quoted on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange during the period of 52 weeks immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date is HK$1.20 per H Share and HK$0.80 per H Share, respectively; and

- 17 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

    1. the average closing price of the H Shares as quoted on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for the period of 52 weeks immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date is approximately HK$0.95 per H Share.
  1. In light of the premium of the trading price of the A Shares over that of the H Shares, notwithstanding the Adjustment for Dividend Distribution, the adjusted exercise price of the Share Options in the event of dividend distribution is expected to remain higher than the then prevailing trading price of the H Shares (which will also be subject to ex-entitlement adjustment). Considering (i) the insignificant number of new A Shares involved in the exercise of the Shares Options; (ii) the premium of the exercise price of the Share Options over the trading price of the H Shares; and (iii) the requirement under the relevant PRC laws and regulation that the A Shares shall not be issued at less than its nominal value of RMB1 per A Share pursuant to the exercise of the Share Options, the dilutive impact of the Adjustment for Dividend Distribution under the Revised Share Option Incentive Scheme (if any) is minimal.
  2. The proposed adoption of the Revised Share Option Incentive Scheme will be subject to the approval of the Shareholders at the EGM and the Class Meetings. The Company is of the view that the Shareholders, including both the holders of the A Shares and H Shares, will all have the opportunity to fully consider and evaluate the principal terms of the Revised Share Option Incentive Scheme, including the Adjustment for Dividend Distribution.

- I-20 -

APPENDIX I

SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPAL TERMS OF

THE REVISED SHARE OPTION INCENTIVE SCHEME

Financial Instruments" (《企業會計準則第22 - 金融工具確認和計量》), the Company shall select an appropriate valuation model to determine the fair value of the Share Options. The Company has selected the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the date of the approval by the Board of the Share Option Incentive Scheme as the benchmark date to determine the fair value of the 79,627,003 Share Options to be granted under the Revised Proposed Initial Grant.

Based on the preliminary calculation by the Company, the estimated fair value of each Share Option is RMB1.02, and the aggregate estimated value of the 79,627,003 Share Options is RMB81,219,500. Details of the relevant parameters used are set out below:

Market price of the A Shares:

RMB2.52, being the fair market price of the A Shares determined pursuant to the requirements of the CSRC and the SASAC

Exercise price of the Share

RMB2.52, being the exercise price of the Share

Options:

Options determined pursuant to the requirements of

the CSRC and the SASAC

Expected life:

Five years, being the weighted expected effective

period calculated taking into account (i) the weighted

expected effective period of the Share Options; and

(ii) the total term of exercise period of seven

years(Note 1)

Risk-free yield:

Expected volatility:

Expected rate of dividend:

Notes:

2.99%, being the five-year yield to maturity of the national bond rate

41.36%, based on the historical volatility rate of the price of the A Shares

0.00%(Note 2)

1. The expected life of the Share Options is determined in accordance with the following formula:

Expected life = 0.5 x (Weighted expected effective period of the Share Options + Total term of the exercise period of the Share Options)

where the weighted expected effective period of the Share Options is determined in accordance with the following formula:

  • Proportion of Share Options exercisable to the total number of Share Options granted x Expected effective period of such proportion of Share Options

Accordingly, the expected life of the Share Options under the Revised Share Option Incentive Scheme shall be five years, which is calculated as follows: 0.5 x {[(1/3) x 2 + (1/3) x 3 + (1/3) x 4] + 7} = 5.

APPENDIX I

SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPAL TERMS OF

THE REVISED SHARE OPTION INCENTIVE SCHEME

2. According to the applicable valuation method and relevant requirements of the SASAC, as the adjustment mechanism to the exercise price of the Share Options upon occurrence of distribution of dividend is provided in the Revised Share Option Incentive Scheme, the expected rate of dividend shall not be taken into account in the determination of fair value of the Share Options.

The preliminary calculation results of the value of the Share Options are subject to a number of assumptions of the parameters used therein and the limitation of the model adopted. Therefore, the estimated value of the Share Options may be subjective and uncertain.

  1. Amortisation and impact on the operating results of the Company

The costs of Share Options incurred under the Revised Share Option Incentive Scheme will be recorded as expenses in recurring profits and losses and will be amortised during the relevant periods in accordance with the applicable accounting standards.

Disregarding the stimulation effects of the Revised Share Option Incentive Scheme on the results of the Company, the Company is of the view that the amortisation of the costs of the Revised Share Option Incentive Scheme will have an impact on the net profits of the Company for each relevant financial year during the Validity Period, but such impact will not be significant.

11. REVISED PROPOSED INITIAL GRANT UNDER THE REVISED SHARE OPTION INCENTIVE SCHEME

Pursuant to the Revised Share Option Incentive Scheme, the Board proposed to grant Shares Options to 127 Participants, which comprises 9 Directors and senior management of the Company, 118 core management and business personnel of the Group under the Revised Proposed Initial Grant.

The total number of underlying A Shares in relation to the Share Options to be granted under the Revised Proposed Initial Grant shall be 79,627,003 A Shares, representing approximately 0.6860% of the existing total issued share capital of the Company and 1.0039% of the existing A Share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.
