A Heritage of Banking Our Trust with Future Annual Report Bank of Communications Co., Ltd. A Heritage of Banking Our Trust with Future Annual Report Bank of Communications Co., Ltd. No. 188, Yin Cheng Zhong Lu, Shanghai P.R. China 2007 www.bankcomm.com Annual Report 2007 Brief Introduction Bank of Communications Co., Ltd. Founded in 1908, Bank of Communications Co., Ltd. (the “Bank”) is one of the oldest banks in China and one of the earliest note-issuing banks in modern China. After 1958, while the Hong Kong branch of the Bank continued to operate, the mainland business of the Bank merged with the then People’s Bank of China and established the People’s Construction Bank of China on the foundation of the Bank. As a finance reform pilot project, the Bank was reestablished in 1986 with the approval of the State Council and began operations on 1 April 1987. The Bank became China’s first state-owned joint-stock commercial bank. In 1994, the Bank changed from a two-tiered legal structure which separated the head office from the branch offices, to a single legal entity. In 2004, the Bank implemented a program to reform its shareholding structure. Pursuant to the reform, the Bank has successfully completed its financial reorganization by issuing new shares and disposing of non- performing loans, and attracted mainland and overseas strategic investors such as HSBC, SSF and SAFE Investment. In June 2005, the Bank successfully issued H-shares and was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (under the stock name “BANKCOMM” and the stock code 3328) and became the first overseas-listed commercial bank in mainland China. In May 2007, the Bank successfully issued A shares and was listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange (under the stock name “Bank of Communications” and the stock code 601328). The legal Chinese name of the Bank is Bank of Communications Co., Ltd. (交通銀行股份有限公司) , also referred to as Bank of Communications ( 交通銀行 ); its Head Office is located at No. 188 Yin Cheng Middle Road, Pudong New District, Shanghai and it has a registered capital of RMB48.994 billion. As of the end of 2007, the Group’s total assets was RMB2,110.444 billion, an increase of RMB390.961 billion, or an increase of 22.74% over the previous year. The Bank has issued 48,994,383,703 ordinary shares, including 23,064,468,136 H-shares (representing 47.08% of the total ordinary shares), and 25,929,915,567 A shares (representing 52.92% of the total ordinary shares). The Ministry of Finance, HSBC, SSF and SAFE Investment formed the top four shareholders of the Bank, whose shareholding interests were 20.36%,19.15%,11.34% and 6.12% respectively. In 2007, the Bank saw a significant boost in its image and reputation in the marketplace. According to the ranking of the “Top 1000 World Banks 2007” published by the British magazine “The Banker”, the Bank’s total assets ranking rose to No. 69 and its Tier-1 capital ranking rose to No. 68.

  • The Confusing Identity of Pternopetalum Molle (Apiaceae)
    Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2008, 158, 274–295. With 15 figures The confusing identity of Pternopetalum molle (Apiaceae) LI-SONG WANG1,2* 1State Key Laboratory of Systematics and Evolutionary Botany, Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Xiangshan, Beijing 100093, China 2Graduate School of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100039, China Received 25 April 2006; accepted for publication 24 June 2008 The misapplication of the name Pternopetalum molle (Franch.) Hand.-Mazz. has resulted in considerable taxonomic confusion in the genus, involving 11 names belonging to seven taxa (according to a recent treatment). A supplementary taxonomic revision of P. botrychioides (Dunn) Hand.-Mazz., P. molle and P. vulgare (Dunn) Hand.-Mazz. is presented, after a detailed examination of the morphological variation. Four new synonyms, P. longicaule var. humile R.H.Shan & F.T.Pu, P. molle var. dissectum R.H.Shan & F.T.Pu, P. radiatum (W.W.Smith) P.K.Mukherjee and P. trifoliatum R.H.Shan & F.T.Pu, are proposed. Pternopetalum delicatulum (H.Wolff) Hand.- Mazz. should be reduced to P. botrychioides rather than P. radiatum. The previous taxonomic treatments of P. cuneifolium (H. Wolff) Hand.-Mazz., P. cartilagineum C.Y.Wu ex R.H.Shan & F.T.Pu and P. molle var. crenulatum R.H.Shan & F.T.Pu are reinstated. A key and distribution maps are provided for the accepted species. © 2008 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2008, 158, 274–295.
