As resolved at the 2011 fourth extraordinary general meeting (the "EGM") of Datang
International Power Generation Co., Ltd. (the "Company") held on 6 December 2011, 
the Company was approved to apply to the National Association of Financial Market

debentures with a principal amount of not exceeding RMB10 billion within a period 
of 12 months from the date of approval at the EGM and to be issued in tranches 
within the effective period of the registration. On 24 May 2012, the Company 
received a "Notification on Acceptance of Registration" (Zhong Shi Xie Zhu [2012] 
SCP No.6) from the National Association of Financial Market Institutional Investors 
confirming the acceptance of registration of the Company's super short-term 
debentures.

The Company has completed the issuance of "The First Tranche of Datang International 
Power Generation Co., Ltd.'s Super Short-term Debentures in 2012" (the "First 
Tranche Super Short-term Debentures") on 18 July 2012. The issuance amount for the 
First Tranche Super Short-term Debentures was RMB3 billion with a maturity of 90 days. 
The unit nominal value is RMB100 and the issuance interest rate is at 3.26%.

Company's rapid development and to lower its financing costs and thus further 
adjusting its debt structure so as to strengthen the Company's competitiveness.
