BACKGROUND

On 26 August 2011, the 14th meeting of seventh session of the Board considered and 
approved the provision of the entrusted loan of not more than RMB600 million to 
Lvsigang Power Generation Company. On 31 August 2011, the Company entered into the

the Entrusted Loan Arrangement, in which CCB Diao Yu Tai Branch acts as a lending agent, 
in order to satisfy Lvsigang Power Generation Company's day-to-day capital turnover.


ENTRUSTED LOAN AGREEMENT


Date and Subject Matter

On 31 August 2011, the Company entered into the Entrusted Loan Agreement with CCB Diao 
Yu Tai Branch and Lvsigang Power Generation Company in relation to the provision of the 
Entrusted Loan amounting to RMB400 million by the Company to Lvsigang Power Generation 
Company through the Entrusted Loan Arrangement, in which CCB Diao Yu Tai Branch acts as 
a lending agent.


Parties 

(1)   the Company, as the lender;
(2)   CCB Diao Yu Tai Branch, as the lending agent; and
(3)   Lvsigang Power Generation Company, as the borrower.


Major Terms of the Entrusted Loan Agreement


Entrusted Loan Arrangement

Pursuant to the Entrusted Loan Agreement, CCB Diao Yu Tai Branch is designated by the 
Company to act as a lending agent to, inter alia, release the Entrusted Loan, which is 
funded by the Company, to Lvsigang Power Generation Company and to monitor the use and 
repayment of the Entrusted Loan by Lvsigang Power Generation Company.


Principal amount of the Entrusted Loan

RMB400 million


Term

The term for the Entrusted Loan Agreement is 12 months commencing from 31 August 2011 
to 30 August 2012. 


Interest rate

At a floating interest rate, being the benchmark interest rate to be charged for the 
same level of loans in RMB by the People's Bank of China for the same period as 
announced by the People's Bank of China on the date when each batch of borrowing is 
withdrawn and to be adjusted annually. The adjustment date is 21st December of each 
year. The adjusted interest rate will be the prevailing RMB benchmark lending rate for 
the same period announced by the People's Bank of China on the adjustment date. 

Given the current difficulty in financing, such interest rate is arrived at after arm's 
length negotiation between the Company and Lvsigang Power Generation Company in 
consideration of the overall reduction in capital costs to the Group after the accounts 
of Lvsigang Power Generation Company (being the controlled subsidiary of the Company) 
are consolidated into the accounts of the Company.


Repayment schedule of the principal of the Entrusted Loan

One-off repayment of the principal by Lvsigang Power Generation Company upon maturity 
of the Entrusted Loan Agreement. 


Payment schedule of interests of the Entrusted Loan 

Interests shall be settled by Lvsigang Power Generation Company on a quarterly basis. 
The settlement date falls on the twentieth (20th) day of the last month of each quarter.


Handling charge

The annual handling charge for the Entrusted Loan under the Entrusted Loan Agreement is 
calculated at 0.025% of the principal amount of the Entrusted Loan. Lvsigang Power 
Generation Company shall pay such handling charge when the Entrusted Loan is released 
and on every year's corresponding date for the release of the loan. 


Effective Date 

The Entrusted Loan Agreement shall become effective when it is duly signed by the 
parties. 


REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF ENTERING INTO THE ENTRUSTED LOAN AGREEMENT

In order to ensure the day-to-day capital turnover of Lvsigang Power Generation Company, 
the Company intends to provide the Entrusted Loan to Lvsigang Power Generation Company. 
The Company considers that the Entrusted Loan is beneficial for the normal production 
and operation of Lvsigang Power Generation Company and to ensure its repayment of due 
borrowings. It is also considered that the overall capital costs to the Group will be 
reduced after the accounts of Lvsigang Power Generation Company (being the controlled 
subsidiary of the Company) are consolidated into the accounts of the Company.

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that 
the terms of the Entrusted Loan Agreement are fair and reasonable, have been entered 
into after arm's length negotiation between all parties thereto and determined on 
normal commercial terms and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as 
a whole.


CONNECTED TRANSACTION

As at the date of this announcement, Lvsigang Power Generation Company is owned as to 
55% and 35% by the Company and CDC, respectively. CDC is a controlling Shareholder of 
the Company, which together with its subsidiaries, hold approximately 34.71% of the 
issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this announcement. Lvsigang Power 
Generation is therefore a connected person of the Company and the Entrusted Loan 
Agreement constitutes a connected transaction of the Company under Chapter 14A of the 
Listing Rules. 

As each of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined in Rule 14.07 of the Listing 
Rules) for the principal amount of the Entrusted Loan is more than 0.1% but less than 
5%, the Entrusted Loan Agreement is only subject to the reporting and announcement 
requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules but is exempt from the requirement 
of approval by the independent Shareholders of the Company under Chapter 14A of the 
Listing Rules.

None of the Directors have any material interest in the Entrusted Loan Agreement. Those 
connected Directors, including Liu Shunda, Hu Shengmu and Fang Qinghai, who are the 
principal management staff of CDC, have abstained from voting at the relevant Board 
meeting for approval of the Entrusted Loan Agreement pursuant to the listing rules of 
the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
