LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. INTRODUCTION
    Reference is made to the circular of the Company dated 25 October 2019, in relation to the resolutions to be proposed at the EGM for consideration and approval.
    Reference is also made to the supplemental notice of EGM of the Company dated 25 November 2019 (the "Supplemental Notice of EGM"), in relation to (among others) the new resolution to be proposed by Chinalco, the Company's controlling Shareholder, at the EGM for consideration.

The purpose of this supplemental circular is to provide you with all reasonably necessary information in relation to, among others, the Company's proposed subscription for the A shares of Yunnan Aluminum to be issued through non-public offering, so as to enable you to make informed decisions on whether to vote for or against the resolution to be proposed at the EGM.

  1. THE COMPANY'S PROPOSED SUBSCRIPTION FOR THE A SHARES OF YUNNAN ALUMINUM TO BE ISSUED THROUGH NON-PUBLIC OFFERING
    Reference is made to the voluntary announcement of the Company dated 21 November 2019. With the approval of China Securities Regulatory Commission, Yunnan Aluminum, a subsidiary of Chinalco, the controlling Shareholder of the Company, proposes to issue new A shares through non-public offering to specific participants. The minimum issue price is 90% of the average trading price of A shares of Yunnan Aluminum in the 20 trading days immediately prior to the first day of the issuance period and the specific issue price shall be subject to the final bidding results. The Company proposes to subscribe for the A shares of Yunnan Aluminum to be issued through non- public offering. The equity interests to be subscribed for shall be no less than 5% of the total share capital of Yunnan Aluminum upon the non-public offering, which shall be subject to the shareholding proportion determined based on the finalized price and the subscription amount, and the subscription amount shall be not higher than RMB1,500 million. Upon the completion of this subscription, Yunnan Aluminum will not become a subsidiary of the Company.
    As a subsidiary of Chinalco, Yunnan Aluminum competes with the Company in the business segments of alumina and electrolytic aluminum, etc. The Company's subscription for the A shares of Yunnan Aluminum to be issued through non-public offering is conducive to resolving business competitions between the Company and Yunnan Aluminum and is in line with the corporate development strategies and in the whole interests of the Company.
