The annual financial report prepared by the CASBE and the IFRS was audited by KPMG Huazhen LLP and KPMG respectively, which issued a standard unqualified audit report to the Company. Zhou Yi, the person in charge of the Company, Shu Ben’e, the person in charge of accounting, and Fei Lei, the officer in charge of the accounting office of the Company (head of accounting department), hereby warrant and guarantee that the financial report contained in the annual report is true, accurate and complete. The profit distribution plan or the reserve capitalization plan for the Reporting Period considered by the Board: As audited by KPMG Huazhen LLP, the profit for the year of the parent company for 2017 was RMB8,482,927,105.80. According to the relevant requirements of the Company Law, Securities Law, Financial Rules for Financial Enterprises (《金融企業財務規則》) and the Articles of Association of the 3 Company, the Company had appropriated 10% statutory surplus reserve, 10% general risk reserve and 10% trading risk reserve of RMB2,544,878,131.74 in total, after which, the profit available for distribution for the year was RMB5,938,048,974.06. Plus the balance of undistributed profit of RMB10,594,696,225.20 in previous years and less the dividend of RMB3,581,384,400.00 distributed according to the profit distribution plan of the Company for 2016, the accumulated profit available for distribution to investors in cash for the year was RMB12,951,360,799.26. The Company is proceeding with the Non-Public Issuance of A Shares. As regulated in the Measures for the Administration of Securities Issuance and Underwriting of CSRC, listed companies shall only issue securities after submitting the profit distribution plan and plan for share capital increase from capital reserve to the General Meeting for resolution or putting such plans approved by the General Meeting into implementation. If the company implements the profit distribution of 2017, then before completing profit distribution, the company cannot issue any securities, which is unfavorable to the procedures for the Non-Public Issuance and even requires to re-perform the relevant internal and external procedures for non-public offering. Thus, the working capital cannot be supplemented in time, which will directly influence the company’s profit of the term and long-term development. Therefore, after comprehensive consideration of factors such as the interests of shareholders and the development of the company, the company will not make profit distribution for 2017, nor will it transfer its capital reserve to increase its share capital. The Company is intended to complete related matters for profit distribution upon the completion of the Non-Public Issuance of A Shares as soon as required by relevant regulatory authorities and the Articles of Association. All independent non-executive Directors of the Company gave the following independent opinions on this profit distribution proposal: The profit distribution proposal of the company in 2017 is in line with the interests of all shareholders. All independent non-executive Directors approve this proposal and agree to submit it to the Annual General Meeting of 2017 for resolution. This profit distribution proposal was already considered and approved by the twelfth meeting of the fourth session of the Board and is to be submitted to the Annual General Meeting for 2017 for resolution. Forward-looking statements including future plans and development strategies involved in this annual report do not constitute the Company’s substantive commitments to investors. The investors are advised to pay attention to investment risks. There is no non-operating misappropriation of funds of the Company by any controlling shareholders and their related parties during the Reporting Period. 4 The Company has not provided any guarantees in favor of others in violation of the decision-making procedures during the Reporting Period. The announcement of the Company is prepared in both Chinese and English. In the event of any inconsistency, the Chinese version should prevail.
