To the Shareholders
Dear Sir or Madam,
PROPOSALS FOR ISSUE OF CONVERTIBLE BONDS, AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION AND APPOINTMENT OF NEW DIRECTORS
On 10th August, 2004, the Board convened a meeting at which it was resolved that according to the relevant laws and regulations, and the Articles of Association of the Company, the Company should convene an EGM and Class Meetings for its shareholders to consider and approve the following matters.
I. PROPOSED RESOLUTIONS
1. PROPOSED ISSUE OF CONVERTIBLE BONDS
Information about the Covertible Bonds
The Company proposes to issue up to US$300 million in principal amount of Convertible Bonds which will be convertible into new H Shares. The Convertible Bonds are proposed to be in the form of US dollar denominated convertible bonds. Application will be made to list the Convertible Bonds
— 3 —
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
on an internationally recognised stock exchange. The issue size, interest rate, conversion price, exchange rate structure and timing of the issue of Convertible Bonds will be determined by the Board after careful consideration and taking into account the prevailing market conditions and all other relevant factors at that time. Other terms and conditions of the Convertible Bonds will also be determined by the Board prior to the proposed issue of Convertible Bonds. The Convertible Bonds are expected to be offered only to professional and institutional investors, and shareholders of the Company will not be entitled to subscribe for the Convertible Bonds solely by virtue of their shareholdings in the Company. There will not be a public offering of the Convertible Bonds.
The proposed issue of Convertible Bonds will be conditional on, among other things, the following:
-
(a) the obtaining of the approvals by way of special resolutions at:
-
(1) the EGM;
-
(2) the H Shares Class Meeting; and
-
(3) the Domestic Shares Class Meeting;
-
(b) the obtaining of the approvals or consents from the relevant PRC regulatory authorities including:
-
(1) the SDRC; and
-
(2) the CSRC;
-
(c) the granting by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange of approval for the listing of and permission to deal in the new H Shares to be issued upon conversion (if any) of the Convertible Bonds; and
-
(d) the granting of approval for the listing of the Convertible Bonds by an internationally recognised stock exchange on which the Convertible Bonds are to be listed.
The authority granted to the Directors by way of special resolutions passed at the EGM, H Shares Class Meeting and Domestic Shares Class Meeting with regard to the proposed issue of Convertible Bonds will expire twelve months after the date of such resolutions passed at the aforesaid general meetings.
Proposed Use of Proceeds
The net proceeds of the proposed issue of Convertible Bonds are expected to be used to meet the Company’s foreign currency needs for the following:
-
(a) the purchase of major imported equipment for new power plants and for expanding existing power plants;
-
(b) acquisition of power plants in operation; and
— 4 —
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
- (c) the remaining balance (if any) will be used for the Company’s working capital.
Should the actual use of proceeds have to meet any disclosure and/or shareholders’ approval requirement under the Listing Rules, the Company shall comply with the relevant provisions of the Listing Rules to make the necessary disclosure and to seek the appropriate approvals as required.
Reasons for the issue of convertible bonds
The Company has not conducted any fund raising activities in the preceding twelve months. The Board has carefully considered different financing options for the funding needs of the Company as set out above and believes the proposed issue of Convertible Bonds to be the most appropriate arrangement for the Company for the following reasons:
-
(a) a convertible bond issue would allow the Company to take advantage of the current favourable low interest rate environment, thereby lowering the Company’s overall funding cost;
-
(b) a convertible bond issue would generally allow the issuer to pay a lower interest coupon payment than would be the case for a straight bond issue; and
-
(c) the proposed issue of Convertible Bonds would not lead to any immediate dilution on the Company’s basic earnings per Share which would arise in the case of a new issue of H Shares.
Impact on Shareholders
Upon conversion of the Convertible Bonds to be issued, there would be an increase in the number of H Shares held by the public. The exact size of the increase will depend upon the final terms of the Convertible Bonds, including, among other terms, the size of the issue and the conversion price at which the Convertible Bonds will be converted into H Shares. It is currently contemplated that the initial conversion price will be determined with reference to a premium over the closing price of H Shares for a certain period of trading days immediately prior to the pricing date. The final terms of the Convertible Bonds are expected to be determined only after the completion of a roadshow (if any) and “book-building” offering process. Shareholders’ equity interest in the Company will be diluted as a result of the exercise of the conversion rights attached to the Convertible Bonds. Further announcements will be made once the terms and conditions of the Convertible Bonds are determined.
Amendments to the articles of association
At the EGM, the H Shares Class Meeting and the Domestic Shares Class Meeting, special resolutions will be proposed to authorise the Board to make amendments to the Articles of Association to reflect the increase of the registered capital of the Company to comprise the Shares in issue and the new H Shares to be issued upon conversion of the Convertible Bonds.
New H Shares
Any new H Shares to be issued upon conversion of the Convertible Bonds will rank pari passu with, and within the same class as, the H Shares in issue on the relevant conversion date in all respects, save in respect of entitlements to dividends and other distributions which will depend on the conversion date(s) for the Convertible Bonds and the date for the payment of dividends or other distribution with respect to the Shares.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
2. PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION
The Company proposes to make certain amendments to its Articles of Association to meet the Company’s development. The Proposed Amendments to the Articles are set out in Appendix to this circular. According to the Articles of Association and the relevant laws and regulations, the Proposed Amendments to the Articles are subject to the approval of the shareholders of the Company by way of a special resolution at the EGM.
The Board believes that the Proposed Amendments to Articles do not cause any substantive changes to the content of the original Articles of Association in terms of their adherence to the “Mandatory Provisions for Companies Listed Overseas” (“Mandatory Provisions”) issued on 27th August, 1994 by the then State Council Securities Comission and the State Commission for Restructuring Economic System. Therefore, both the Directors of the Company and the Company’s PRC legal advisor confirm that the amended Articles of Association will still satisfy the requirements of the Mandatory Provisions.
