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 Institutional Investors ("NAFMII") for registering the issue 
limit of the super short-term debentures with a principal amount of not 
exceeding RMB10 billion within 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 NAFMII confirming the 
acceptance of registration of the Company's super short-term debentures. Since 
the acceptance of registration of the Company's super short-term debentures by 
NAFMII, as at the date of this announcement, the Company issued three tranches 
of super short-term debentures, major details of which are as follows:
 
    (1)   The Company completed the issuance of "The First Tranche of Datang 
          International Power Generation Co., Ltd.'s Super Short-term 
          Debentures in 2013" (the "Current Tranche Super Short-term 
          Debentures") on 18 January 2013. The issuance amount for the Current
          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 3.98%. Industrial & Commercial Bank of China 
          Limited and Agricultural Bank of China Limited act as the joint lead
          underwriters for the Current Tranche Super Short-term Debentures. The
          proceeds from the Current Tranche Super Short-Term Debentures will be
          used for replacement of part of the bank borrowings of the Company in
          order to adjust debt structure and lower financing costs, and will 
          also be used to replenish the working capital of the Company.

    (2)   The Company completed the issuance of "The Second Tranche of Datang 
          International Power Generation Co., Ltd.'s Super Short-term 
          Debentures in 2012" (the "Second Tranche Super Short-term Debentures 
          in 2012") on 12 October 2012. The issuance amount for the Second 
          Tranche Super Short-term Debentures in 2012 was RMB3 billion with a 
          maturity of 270 days. The unit nominal value is RMB100 and the 
          issuance interest rate is at 4.15%. Bank of China Limited and China
          Minsheng Banking Corp., Ltd. acted as the joint lead underwriters for
          the Second Tranche Super Short-term Debentures in 2012. The proceeds 
          from such tranche of super short-term debentures were used 
          principally to replenish the working capital of the Company.

    (3)   The Company 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 
          in 2012") on 18 July 2012. The issuance amount for the First Tranche
          Super Short-term Debentures in 2012 was RMB3 billion with a maturity
          of 90 days. The unit nominal value is RMB100 and the issuance 
          interest rate is at 3.26%. China Development Bank Corporation and 
          Agricultural Bank of China Limited acted as the joint lead 
          underwriters for the First Tranche Super Short-term Debentures in 
          2012. The proceeds from the First Tranche Super Short-term Debentures
          in 2012 were used principally to replenish the working capital
          of the Company. Such tranche of super short-term debentures matured 
          on 16 October 2012, and the Company repaid the principal as well as 
          the interests in one-off settlement.


The super short-term debentures issued by the Company are principally used for
replenishment of working capital of the Company or replacement of bank 
borrowings, which are beneficial for supporting the 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.
