The board of CITIC Resources Holdings Ltd. informed that the group is expected to record a material decrease in its net profit for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared with that for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The expected decrease in net profit is principally attributable to weak selling prices of commodities due to the slowdown in the global economy; and an expense of HKD 91,498,000 arising from the cash tender offer made by the group to repurchase part of its $1,000,000,000 6.75% senior notes due 2014.
