1. Proposed final dividend distribution plan for the year 2014

On 27 March 2015, the Board approved the proposed final dividend distribution plan for the year 2014 (the “ Final Dividend ”). In accordance with the Articles, the profits attributable to Shareholders shall be the lower of the Company’s profits after taxation calculated pursuant to the PRC Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises and the International Financial Reporting Standards. For the year 2014, the total amount of the Company’s net profits attributable to Shareholders calculated pursuant to the PRC Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises shall be RMB3.454 billion. After due consideration of return to Shareholders as well as the long-term interests of the Company, the aggregate amount of the dividends to be distributed by the Company for the year 2014 in cash shall be approximately RMB1.381 billion. After deduction of the interim dividends for the year 2014 in the total amount of RMB553 million paid by the Company, the aggregate amount of the Final Dividend shall be RMB828 million. Based on 4,428,000,000 Shares, being the total share capital of the Company as at 31 December 2014, the Final Dividend of RMB0.187 (inclusive of applicable tax) per Share shall be payable to all Shareholders.

The Final Dividend will be denominated and declared in RMB. The Domestic Shareholders will be paid in RMB and the H Shareholders will be paid in Hong Kong dollars. The exchange rate for the Final Dividend to be paid in Hong Kong dollars will be the mean of the exchange rates of Hong Kong dollars to RMB as announced by the PBOC during the five business days prior to the date of declaration of the Final Dividend.

An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to consider and approve the above Final Dividend distribution plan. The payment of the Final Dividend is subject to the Shareholders’ approval at the AGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

3. Taxation

In accordance with the Enterprise Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China (中華人 民共和國企業所得稅法) and its implementation regulations which came into effect on 1 January 2008, the Company is required to withhold and pay enterprise income tax at the rate of 10% on behalf of the non-resident enterprise Shareholders whose names appear on the register of members for H Shares when distributing the cash dividends. Any H Shares not registered under the name of an individual Shareholder, including HKSCC Nominees Limited, other nominees, agents or trustees, or other organisations or groups, shall be deemed as Shares held by non-resident enterprise Shareholders. Therefore, on this basis, enterprise income tax shall be withheld from dividends payable to such Shareholders. If H Shareholders intend to change their shareholder status, they are advised to enquire about the relevant procedures with their agents or trustees. The Company will strictly comply with the law or the requirements of the relevant government authority and withhold and pay enterprise income tax on behalf of the relevant Shareholders based on the register of members for H Shares as at the Record Date.

If the individual H Shareholders are Hong Kong or Macau residents or residents of the countries which have had an agreed tax rate of 10% for the cash dividends to them with the PRC under the relevant tax agreement, the Company should withhold and pay individual income tax on behalf of the relevant Shareholders at a rate of 10%. Should the individual H Shareholders be residents of the countries which had an agreed tax rate of less than 10% with the 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 H Shareholders 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 H 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 H Shareholders be residents of the countries which had an agreed tax rate of over 10% but less than 20% with the 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. In the case that the individual H Shareholders are residents of the countries which have had an agreed tax rate of 20% with PRC, or which have not entered into any tax agreement with PRC, or otherwise, the Company shall withhold and pay the individual income tax at a rate of 20%.

Pursuant to the Notice on the Tax Policies Related to the Pilot Program of the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect (關於滬港股票市場交易互聯互通機制試點有關稅收政策的通知) (Caishui [2014] No. 81):

For domestic investors investing in the H Shares through Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect, the Company shall withhold and pay income tax at the rate of 20% on behalf of individual investors and securities investment funds. The Company will not withhold or pay the income tax of dividends for domestic enterprise investors and these domestic enterprise investors shall report and pay the relevant tax themselves.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Company will appoint a receiving agent in Hong Kong (the “ Receiving Agent ”) and will pay to such Receiving Agent the Final Dividend (after relevant deductions, if applicable) declared for payment to H Shareholders. The Final Dividend will be paid by the Receiving Agent on or before Tuesday, 30 June 2015. The cheques will be despatched to H Shareholders by ordinary post at their own risks.

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 Board.

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 summarised 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 of 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, 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 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 relevant time, result in an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share. The Directors will only exercise the Repurchase Mandate if they 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, without limitation, surplus funds and undistributed profits of the Company.

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 at 31 December 2014 as disclosed in the Company’s latest published audited accounts

— 28 —

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

contained in the annual report for the year 2014. 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 an appropriate time having taking into consideration the circumstances then prevailing which shall be 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 H Shares so cancelled.

H SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices at which the H Shares were 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$) (HK$)
2014
March 10.14 8.18
April 9.07 8.16
May 9.20 8.36

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 under appropriate circumstances 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 close associates (as defined under the Hong Kong Listing Rules), to the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, has any present intention to sell to the Company any of the Domestic Shares and/or H Shares if the Repurchase Mandate is approved at each of the AGM, the Domestic Share Class Meeting and the H Share Class Meeting.

No core connected person (as defined under the Hong Kong Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he, 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 itself and 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 issued share 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 the percentage of the Shares being held by the public being less than the relevant prescribed minimum percentage as required by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

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 did not repurchase 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.
