According to this proposal, after deduction of the interim dividends in the total amount of RMB594 million paid by the Company, the aggregate amount of the Final Dividend shall be RMB841 million. Based on the total share capital of the Company of 4,428,000,000 shares as at 31 December 2013, a Final Dividend of RMB0.190 (inclusive of applicable tax) per Share shall be payable to all Shareholders.

Should the individual holders of the H Shares be residents of the countries which had an agreed tax rate of less than 10% with PRC under the relevant tax agreement, the Company shall withhold and pay individual income tax on behalf of the relevant shareholders at a rate of 10%. In that case, if the relevant individual holders of the H Shares wish to reclaim the extra amount withheld (the “ Extra Amount ”) due to the application of 10% tax rate, the Company can apply for the relevant agreed preferential tax treatment provided that the relevant shareholders submit the evidence required by the notice of the tax agreement to the share register of the Company within the timeline set out below. The Company will assist with the tax refund after the approval of the competent tax authority. Should the individual holders of the H Shares be residents of the countries which had an agreed tax rate of over 10% but less than 20% with PRC under the tax agreement, the Company shall withhold and pay the individual income tax at the agreed actual rate in accordance with the relevant tax agreement.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX II

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Hong Kong Listing Rules, to provide the requisite information to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the special resolution to approve the grant of the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors.

Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited and The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited take no responsibility for the contents of this document, make no representation as to its accuracy or completeness and expressly disclaim any liability whatsoever for any loss however arising from or in reliance upon the whole or any part of the contents of this document.

LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE REPURCHASE OF SECURITIES

The Hong Kong Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listing is on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to repurchase their securities on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions, the most important of which are summarized below. The Company is empowered by the Articles to repurchase its own securities.

REGISTERED CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the registered capital of the Company was RMB4,428,000,000, comprising 2,967,200,000 Domestic Shares and 1,460,800,000 H Shares. Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution for the grant of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no Domestic Shares and/or H Shares will be allotted and issued or repurchased by the Company on or prior to the date of the AGM, Domestic Share Class Meeting and the H Share Class Meeting, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 296,720,000 Domestic Shares and/or 146,080,000 H Shares, being the maximum of 10% of the respective aggregate nominal values of Domestic Shares or H Shares in issue as at the date of passing the relevant resolution.

REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders. An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made if the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing the Domestic Shares and/or H Shares, the Company may only apply funds from the Company’s internal resources legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles, the Hong Kong Listing Rules and the applicable laws, rules and regulations of the PRC, including but not limited to surplus funds and undistributed profits of the Company.

— 26 —

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX II

Taking into account the current good working capital position of the Company, the Directors consider that, if the Repurchase Mandate were to be exercised in full, it would not have a material adverse effect on the working capital and/or the gearing position of the Company as compared with its position as 31 December 2013 as disclosed in the Company’s latest published audited accounts contained in the annual report for the year ended 31 December 2013. However, the Directors do not intend to make any repurchases to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or the gearing position of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company. The number of Domestic Shares and/or H Shares to be repurchased on any occasion and the price and other terms upon which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time having considered to the circumstances then prevailing, in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

STATUS OF REPURCHASED DOMESTIC SHARES AND H SHARES

The Hong Kong Listing Rules provide that the listing of all the H Shares repurchased by the Company shall automatically be cancelled and the relevant share certificates of such repurchased H Shares shall be cancelled and destroyed. Under the PRC laws, the Domestic Shares repurchased by the Company will also be cancelled. The Company’s registered capital will be reduced by an amount equivalent to the aggregate nominal value of the Domestic Shares and/or H Shares so cancelled.

H SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices at which the H Shares have traded on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange during each of the previous twelve months preceding the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

H Shares
Month Highest Lowest
(HK$) (HK$)
2013
May 10.160 9.880
June 10.460 9.820
July 10.380 9.980
August 10.200 9.870
September 9.660 8.980
October 11.340 9.410
November 12.360 11.240
December 11.620 11.080
2014
January 11.520 9.730
February 10.800 9.440

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX II

DIRECTORS’ UNDERTAKING

The Directors have undertaken to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the power of the Company to make purchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Hong Kong Listing Rules, the Articles and the applicable laws, rules and regulations of the PRC.

DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS

None of the Directors or their associates, to the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, have any present intention to sell to the Company any of the Domestic Shares and/or H Shares in the Company if the Repurchase Mandate is approved at the AGM, the Domestic Share Class Meeting and the H Share Class Meeting.

No connected person, as defined in the Hong Kong Listing Rules, has notified the Company that he or she or it has a present intention to sell any Domestic Shares and/or H Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, if the Repurchase Mandate is exercised.

If a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases on the Company exercising its powers to repurchase securities pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, Sinopec Group, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, SAMC, was the controlling shareholder (as defined under the Hong Kong Listing Rules) of the Company and held 2,967,200,000 Domestic Shares (representing approximately 100% of the total issued Domestic Shares of the Company), representing approximately 67.01% of the registered capital of the Company. On the basis that 4,428,000,000 Shares was in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that no other Shares will be issued or repurchased by the Company on or prior to the date of the AGM, the Domestic Share Class Meeting and the H Share Class Meeting, the percentage shareholdings of Sinopec Group before and after such repurchase would be as follows:

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX II

On the basis of the shareholdings held by Sinopec Group above, the exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full will not have any implications for Sinopec Group under the Takeovers Code. Assuming that there is no issue of Shares between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of a repurchase, an exercise of the Repurchase Mandate whether in whole or in part will not result in less than the relevant prescribed minimum percentage of the Shares being held by the public as required by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

The Directors are not aware of any consequences which will arise under either or both of the Takeovers Code and any similar applicable law as a result of any repurchases to be made under the Repurchase Mandate. Moreover, the Directors will not make share repurchase on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange if such repurchase would result in the requirements under Rule 8.08 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules not being complied with.

SECURITIES REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company had not purchased any Domestic Shares and/or H Shares (whether on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange or otherwise) during the six months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
