Notes:

1.
|
As per the annual financial statements audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhong Tian CPAs Limited
|
Company and PricewaterhouseCoopers, the net profit attributable to shareholders of the Company for the accounting year ended 31 December 2011 under PRC GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards was RMB1,268,245,238 and RMB1,180,511,443, respectively. 10% of the net profit attributable to shareholders of the Company for 2011 under PRC GAAP (i.e. RMB1,268,245,238) should be appropriated to the statutory surplus reserve fund, amounting to RMB126,824,524. There was no appropriation to discretionary surplus reserve fund. According to the applicable laws and the articles of association of the Company, dividends for distribution by the Company are based on the lower of the net profit attributable to shareholders of the Company determined in accordance with the above two accounting standards.
|
|
The Company’s proposed profit distribution plan for 2011 is a cash dividend of RMB0.05 (tax inclusive) for each ordinary share of the Company, which is on the basis of the total share capital of the Company. It was estimated that the total amount of cash to be paid as dividends will be RMB702,769,172.

Proposal regarding the extension of the general mandate for the issue of RMB-denominated debt instruments
|
Having considered at the 16th Meeting of the Sixth Session of the Board of Directors on 29th March 2011, the Proposal regarding the General Mandate for the issue of RMB-denominated Debt Instruments was passed at the 2010 annual general meeting held on 17 May 2011, pursuant to which the Company may issue either in one or multiple tranches financing instruments of RMB-denominated debt instruments, with a principal amount of up to RMB5 billion in or outside PRC within 12 months from the date the issue is approved at the general meeting, and an unconditional general mandate to be given to the Company’s Board of Directors or any two or more Directors to determine the specific terms and conditions and other relevant matters in relation to the issue of relevant debt financing instruments in accordance with the need of the Company and the market conditions as well as the supervisory provisions, including (but not limited to) the amount, interest, terms, potential investors and use of proceeds within the prescribed scope as set out above, and the production, execution and disclosure of all necessary documents.
Given that the effective period of the above mandate would expire on 16 May 2012, and to ensure that the issue of RMB-denominated debt instruments could be processed smoothly, approval is sought to extend the effective period of the above mandate for 24 months from 16 May 2012, with the authorization remains unchanged.
