CDC issued the Guarantee Letter on 16 September 2014 in favour of the Company  
in respect of the Corporate Bonds with an aggregate amount of RMB3.0 billion to
cover the principal and interest, default and damages, and fees incurred in    
realising the recourse in relation to the Corporate Bonds. Given that the      
guarantee provided by CDC exceeds its shareholding ratio of the Company (i.e., 
34.71%), pursuant to the requirement under the "China Datang Corporation       
Management Procedures on Guarantee", the Company shall issue the Counter       
Guarantee Undertaking Letter in favour of CDC to counter guarantee the         
guarantee portion provided by CDC which is in excess of its shareholding ratio 
in the Company (i.e., 65.29%).

On 30 October 2014, the Company issued the Counter Guarantee Undertaking Letter
in favour of CDC to counter guarantee the guarantee portion provided by CDC in 
excess of its shareholding ratio in the Company (i.e. 65.29%), and the counter 
guarantee limit amounted to approximately RMB1,959 million.

As at the date of this announcement, CDC together with its subsidiaries hold   
approximately 34.71% of the issued share capital of the Company. CDC is        
therefore a connected person of the Company and the issuance of Counter        
Guarantee Undertaking Letter by the Company in favour of CDC constitutes a     
connected transaction of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.   
                                                                               
As all applicable percentage ratios (as defined in Rule 14.07 of the Listing   
Rules) for the amount involved in the Counter Guarantee Undertaking Letter are 
more than 0.1% but less than 5%, the Counter Guarantee Undertaking Letter is   
subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under Chapter 14A of the
Listing Rules, but is exempted from the approval by the independent            
Shareholders of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.            

BACKGROUND

CDC issued the Guarantee Letter on 16 September 2014 in favour of the Company
in respect of the Corporate Bonds with an aggregate amount of RMB3.0 billion to
cover the principal and interest, default and damages, and fees incurred in
realising the recourse in relation to the Corporate Bonds. Given that the
guarantee provided by CDC exceeds its shareholding ratio of the Company (i.e.,
34.71%), pursuant to the requirement under the "China Datang Corporation
Management Procedures on Guarantee", the Company shall issue the Counter
Guarantee Undertaking Letter in favour of CDC to counter guarantee the
guarantee portion provided by CDC which is in excess of its shareholding ratio
(i.e., 65.29%).

THE COUNTER GUARANTEE UNDERTAKING LETTER

Parties:

1. The Company, as the counter guarantor; and
   
2. CDC, as the guaranteed.
   
Material Terms of the Counter Guarantee Undertaking Letter

On 30 October 2014, the Company issued the Counter Guarantee Undertaking Letter
in favour of CDC to counter guarantee the guarantee portion provided by CDC
which is in excess of its shareholding ratio in the Company (i.e., 65.29%). The
major content of the Counter Guarantee Undertaking Letter includes:

1. Scope of the counter guarantee: including all fees settled by CDC on behalf
   of the debtor based on the Guarantee Letter as well as the fees incurred in
   realising the recourse, which shall be fully borne by the Company based on
   the portion which is in excess of CDC's shareholding ratio in the Company
   (i.e., 65.29%). All fees include, but not limited to, all fees liable to be
   borne under the Guarantee Letter, such as principal, interests, default and
   damages; fees incurred in realising the recourse, including, but not
   limited to, litigation fees, legal fees, notary fees and travelling
   expenses, etc.;
   
2. The counter guarantee limit amounted to approximately RMB1,959 million;
   
3. Term of counter guarantee obligation: commencing from the effective date of
   the Counter Guarantee Undertaking Letter to two years after expiration of
   the term of the guarantee provided by CDC under the Guarantee Letter;
   
4. Mean of counter guarantee: guarantee on a joint-liability basis;
   
5. Effective date: effective from the date when the counter guarantor signs
   the Counter Guarantee Undertaking Letter under hand or under seal.
   
REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF ENTERING INTO THE COUNTER GUARANTEE UNDERTAKING
LETTER

Pursuant to the "China Datang Corporation Management Procedures on Guarantee",
the Company agreed to provide the counter guarantee in favour of CDC for the
guarantee portion in excess of its shareholding ratio in the Company.
Meanwhile, through the issuance of the Guarantee Letter by CDC in respect of
the Corporate Bonds as well as the issuance of the Counter Guarantee
Undertaking Letter by the Company to CDC, the smooth issuance of the Corporate
Bonds could be facilitated and thus securing a stable financing source for the
Company.

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the
view that the Company's issuance of the Counter Guarantee Undertaking Letter is
fair and reasonable, and is entered into upon arm's length negotiation among
all parties based on normal commercial terms, and is in line with the best
interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

The Counter Guarantee Arrangement and the Counter Guarantee Undertaking Letter
were considered and approved in the fifteenth meeting of the eighth session of
the Board of the Company on 30 October 2014. The Directors of the Company have
no material interests in the Counter Guarantee Arrangement and the Counter
Guarantee Undertaking Letter, and connected Directors, namely Chen Jinhang, Hu
Shengmu and Liang Yongpan, have abstained from voting for the abovementioned
resolution pursuant to the listing rules of the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
