Insofar as the Bank is aware, certain individual Shareholders have pledged 50% or more of his/her equity interests in the Bank, the voting rights of such Shareholders at the EGM shall therefore be subject to restrictions pursuant to the Articles of Association, resulting in a total of 593,352,284 Shares (comprising 297,622,284 Domestic Shares and 295,730,000 H Shares) subject to such restrictions.

There was no Share entitling the Shareholders to attend and vote only against the proposed resolutions at the EGM. No party has stated its intention in the Circular that it would vote against the proposed resolutions or that it would abstain from voting at the EGM.

Shareholders and authorised proxies holding an aggregate of 2,779,964,815 Shares carrying voting rights, being approximately 68.49% of the entire issued Shares of the Bank as at the date of the EGM, were present at the EGM. The holding of the EGM was in compliance with the Company Law of the PRC and the Articles of Association. The EGM was chaired by Mr. Guo Shaoquan, the chairman of the Bank. King & Wood Mallesons (Beijing), the Bank's PRC legal adviser, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, the Bank's H share registrar and transfer office, 2 representatives of Shareholders and 1 representative of supervisors were appointed as the vote counters and scrutineers at the EGM for the purpose of vote-taking.

The poll results in respect of the resolutions proposed at the EGM were as follows:
