PROPOSED ISSUE OF SENIOR NOTES

THE PROPOSED NOTES ISSUE

The Company proposes to conduct an international offering of guaranteed U.S. Dollar denominated senior fixed rate notes.

Completion of the Proposed Notes Issue is subject to, among others, market conditions and investors' interest. The Notes are proposed to be guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantors. As at the date of this announcement, the principal amount, the interest rate, the payment date and certain other terms and conditions of the Proposed Notes Issue are yet to be finalised. Upon finalising the terms of the Notes, it is expected that HSBC, Credit Suisse, Guotai Junan International, UBS, CMB International, Deutsche Bank, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors will enter into the Purchase Agreement.

The Notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act. The Notes are being offered outside the United States in offshore transactions in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act, and may not be offered or sold within the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. None of the Notes will be offered to the public in Hong Kong.

The Company will seek a listing of the Notes on the Stock Exchange. A confirmation of the eligibility for the listing of the Notes has been received from the Stock Exchange for the listing of the Notes by way of debt issues to professional investors only as described in the offering memorandum. Admission of the Notes to the Stock Exchange is not to be taken as an indication of the merits of the Company or the Notes.

GENERAL
