The profit distribution plan of the Company for 2018

After auditing by KPMG Huazhen (Special General Partnership) and KPMG, for the financial year ended 31 December 2018, according to China’s Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises and International Financial Reporting Standards, net profits attributable to the shareholders of the Company were RMB1,438.8814 million and RMB734.435 million respectively. According to the Company Law of the People’s Republic of China and the Company’s articles of association, the Company shall appropriate 10% of the profit after tax calculated according to China’s Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises as the statutory surplus reserve. The Company has the option to cease such apportionment when the accumulated statutory surplus reserve is equal to or more than 50% of the registered share capital of the Company. As the balance of the Company’s statutory surplus reserve was more than 50% of the registered capital, statutory surplus reserve was not appropriated in year 2018. Discretionary surplus reserve was not appropriated in year 2018.

The proposed profit distribution plan of the Company for year 2018 was as follows: based on the Company’s total share capital, a cash dividend of RMB0.1 (inclusive of tax) per ordinary share will be paid to all shareholders of the Company. It is anticipated that RMB1,569.81 million will be paid as cash dividend.

On 14 October 2016, the Company and China Huaneng Group Co., Ltd. (“Huaneng Group”) entered into the Agreement for the Transfer of Equity Interests in Certain Companies Between China Huaneng Group and Huaneng Power International, Inc. (the “Transfer Agreement”), to acquire 80% equity interests of Huaneng Shandong Power Generation Limited (“Shandong Power”), 100% equity interests of Huaneng Jilin Power Generation Limited, 100% equity interests of Huaneng Heilongjiang Power Generation Limited and 90% equity interests of Huaneng Henan Zhongyuan Gas Turbine Ltd. held by Huaneng Group. On the same day, Huaneng Group and the Company entered into the Profit Forecast Compensation Agreement Between China Huaneng Group and Huaneng Power International, Inc. (the “Profit Forecast Compensation Agreement”). Huaneng Group guaranteed that the audited net profit of Huaneng Laiwu Power Generation Limited, Huaneng Jiaxiang Power Generation Limited, Huaneng Jining Canal Power Generation Limited, Huaneng Liaocheng Thermal Power Limited and Huaneng Yantai Power Generation Limited (which was changed as Yantai Power Plant of Huaneng Shandong Power Generation Limited in September 2018) (collectively, the “Profit Forecast Companies”), all subsidiaries of Shandong Power, in 2017, 2018 and 2019 (the “Actual Net Profit”) would not be less than the forecasted net profit (the “Actual Net Profit”).
