    2. Method of issuance: The Non-public Issuance of A Shares is undertaken by way of non-public issuance to specific subscribers. The Company will issue shares to specific subscribers at an appropriate timing within the validity period upon obtaining the approval of the CSRC.
    3. Subscribers: Juneyao Airlines, JuneYao Group, Shanghai Jidaohang and Structural Reform Fund
    4. Gross proceeds: RMB7,459,214,730.40
    5. Issue price: RMB5.35 per share

The price benchmark date of the Issuance shall be the first day of the issue period of the Non-public Issuance of A Shares, i.e. 22 August 2019.

The issue price shall be the average trading price (rounded up to the nearest two decimal places) of the A Shares of the issuer for the 20 trading days preceding the price benchmark date or the latest audited net assets per share attributable to holders of ordinary shares of the parent company of the issuer as of the price benchmark date, whichever is higher.

Specifically, the average trading price of the A Shares for the 20 trading days preceding the price benchmark date = total trading amount of A Shares of the issuer for the 20 trading days preceding the price benchmark date/total trading volume of A Shares of the issuer for the 20 trading days preceding the price benchmark date.

In the event that the issuer distributes dividends, grants bonus shares, allots shares, converts capital reserve into share capital or carries out any other ex-right or ex-dividend activities causing any adjustment in the share prices for the 20 trading days, the trading prices for the trading days before such adjustment shall be calculated on the basis of the adjusted price caused by the ex-right or ex-dividend activities.

In the event that the issuer distributes dividends, grants bonus shares, allots shares, converts capital reserve into share capital or carries out any other ex-right or ex-dividend activities during the period commencing from the balance sheet date of the latest audited financial reports as of the price benchmark date to the date of the Issuance, adjustments shall be made to the above net assets per share attributable to holders of ordinary shares of the parent company accordingly.

3

In the event that the issuer distributes dividends, grants bonus shares, allots shares, converts capital reserve into share capital or carries out any other ex-right or ex-dividend activities during the period commencing from the price benchmark date of the Issuance of A Shares to the date of the Issuance, the issue price shall be adjusted on ex-right or ex- dividend basis.

The average trading price of the A Shares of the Company for the 20 trading days preceding the price benchmark date was RMB5.35 per share. The latest audited net assets per share of the Company prior to the issuance, i.e. the net assets per share attributable to holders of ordinary shares of the parent company as at the end of 2018, was RMB3.85 per share. Therefore, the price of the Non-public Issuance was determined as RMB5.35.

  1. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
    1. Changes in Asset Structure
      Upon completion of the Issuance, the total assets and total net assets of the Company will both increase. The financial structure of the Company will be further rationalized and the capital strength of the Company will be effectively enhanced. These are beneficial for the Company to reduce its finance costs and finance expenses and further improve its debt financing capabilities, so as to support the business development of the Company.
  1. Impact on the Profitability of the Company
    Upon completion of the Issuance, the Company will enhance its capital strength and reduce its finance expenses through the proceeds raised. Such proceeds will be used for the development of the main business of the Company, so as to expand the room for revenue and profit of the Company. Meanwhile, the implementation of the investment project for the proceeds will introduce capital for the subsequent development of China Eastern Airlines to expand its fleet size and strengthen the allocation of other equipment. The implementation of the project will help China Eastern Airlines further expand its air loading and transportation capacity, increase the frequency of existing routes and launch new routes and reasonably expand the fleet size. It will help China Eastern Airlines expand its route network layout and provide customers with more convenient

and high-quality travel services. In the long run, it will help the Company improve its profit and return on net assets and further enhance its profitability. The further increase in profitability will provide a strong guarantee for the subsequent development of the Company.

At the same time, as the total share capital and net assets of the Company will significantly increase upon the appropriation of proceeds from the Non-public Issuance of A Shares, and the investment project for the proceeds will take a certain period of time before it realizes benefits, prior to the realization of benefits of the investment project for the proceeds, a significant portion of the profit and return on shareholders of the Company will still be realized through its existing business. Therefore, the Issuance may result in the dilution of current returns of the Company in the short term.

  1. Changes in Business Structure
    The gross proceeds of the Non-public Issuance of A Shares, after deducting the relevant issue expenses, will be used to introduce 14 aircraft, purchase 15 simulators and purchase 20 reserve engines. The investment project for the proceeds is in line with the relevant state industrial policies and the general strategic development direction of the Company. It has favorable market development prospects and economic benefits, and the use of proceeds is reasonable and feasible. The implementation of the investment project for the proceeds will introduce capital for the subsequent development of China Eastern Airlines to expand its fleet size and strengthen the allocation of other equipment. The implementation of the project will help China Eastern Airlines further expand its air loading and transportation capacity, increase the frequency of existing routes and launch new routes and reasonably expand the fleet size. It will help China Eastern Airlines expand its route network layout and provide customers with more convenient and high-quality travel services. In the long run, it will help the Company improve its profit and return on net assets. The completion of the project will effectively foster the development of the main business of the Company, further enhance the market influence of the Company and improve its profitability. These will lay a sound foundation for the continuous expansion of market share and influence of China Eastern Airlines, further strengthen the core competitiveness of China Eastern Airlines and continuously reinforce its position in the industry, which are in the interests of the Company and all its shareholders.
    Upon completion of the Issuance, there will be no change to the main business scope of the Company, and there will be no business and asset integration resulting from the Issuance.

(IV) Changes in Corporate Governance

Upon completion of the Issuance, the share capital of the Company will increase accordingly, and the shareholding of the original shareholders will also be diluted accordingly.
