China Life Insurance : ANNOUNCEMENT ON THE PROGRESS OF CONNECTED TRANSACTION IN RELATION TO A PARTNERSHIP - Form 6-K

ANNOUNCEMENT ON THE PROGRESS OF

CONNECTED TRANSACTION IN RELATION TO A PARTNERSHIP

Reference is made to the Original Announcement of the Company dated 27 October 2016 in relation to the connected transaction regarding the formation of the Partnership by the Company, CLIC and CLP&C, each as a Limited Partner, with CLCD, as the General Partner under the Partnership Agreement entered into between them.

For the purpose of optimizing the profit distribution mechanism of the Partnership, the Company, CLIC and CLP&C entered into the Supplemental Agreement to the Partnership Agreement with CLCD on 19 November 2021, pursuant to which the profit distribution mechanism adopted by the Partnership will be adjusted from the original arrangement of making distribution on the basis of the performance of individual investment projects to the new arrangement of making distribution on the basis of the performance of the Partnership as a whole. Under the new profit distribution mechanism, the performance-based bonus will be distributed to the General Partner after the assessment of the overall performance of the Partnership, which is more in line with the market practices and more favorable to the Limited Partners in the aspects of fund security and investment income recognition. Details of the new profit distribution mechanism are as follows:

The funds available for distribution by the Partnership shall be distributed among all partners in the following order:

(a)	the funds shall be distributed to all the Limited Partners in proportion to their respective paid-in capital contributions, until all the Limited Partners have recovered their respective paid-in capital contributions to the Partnership;

1

(b)	the balance (if any) shall be distributed to the General Partner, until the General Partner has recovered its paid-in capital contribution to the Partnership;

(c)	the balance (if any) shall be distributed to all the Limited Partners, until all the Limited Partners have received the profits calculated at an annualized compound rate of return of 8% in respect of their respective paid-in capital contributions;

(d)	the balance (if any) shall be distributed to the General Partner, until the amount received by the General Partner accounts for 20% of the aggregate distribution amount under item (c) above and this item (d);

(e)	any balance after the above distributions shall be distributed between all the Limited Partners and the General Partner at the ratio of 80:20 (the distributions received by the General Partner under item (d) above and this item (e) are collectively referred to as the "performance-based bonus").

Save as disclosed above, other terms of the Partnership Agreement remain unchanged.

The Company is of the view that the adjustment to the profit distribution mechanism of the Partnership under the Supplemental Agreement is on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable, and in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.
