                      CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS


COAL PURCHASE FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT 

On 13 June 2012, Yuncheng Power Generation Company entered into the Coal 
Purchase Framework Agreement with each of Datang Fuel Company and Datang 
Shaanxi Fuel Company, respectively, pursuant to which Yuncheng Power 
Generation Company agreed to purchase coal for production purposes from Datang 
Fuel Company and Datang Shaanxi Fuel Company, respectively, for the year 
ending 31 December 2012. 


CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS

As at the date of this announcement, CDC is the controlling Shareholder of the 
Company, which together with its subsidiaries hold approximately 34.71% of the 
issued share capital of the Company. Since Datang Fuel Company and Datang 
Shaanxi Fuel Company are subsidiaries of CDC, Datang Fuel Company and Datang 
Shaanxi Fuel Company are therefore connected persons of the Company under 
Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. The entering into the Coal Purchase Framework 
Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder constitute continuing 
connected transactions of the Company.

Since each of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined under Rule 14.07 of 
the Listing Rules) in respect of the aggregated transaction amount under the 
Coal Purchase Framework Agreement is higher than 0.1% but lower than 5%, the 
Coal Purchase Framework Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder 
are only subject to the reporting and announcement requirements, but are 
exempt from the approval by the independent Shareholders of the Company under 
the requirements of Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. 


COAL PURCHASE FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT

Date and parties: 

Yuncheng Power Generation Company entered into two Coal Purchase Framework 
Agreements with each of (i) Datang Fuel Company; and (ii) Datang Shaanxi Fuel 
Company on 13 June 2012.


Major terms:

The terms of the two Coal Purchase Framework Agreements are materially the 
same , the material terms of which are summarised as follows:

(1)   Subject matter: Yuncheng Power Generation Company agreed to purchase coal
      for production purposes from Datang Fuel Company and Datang Shaanxi Fuel 
      Company, respectively, during the term of the agreements;

      The parties may, from time to time during the term of the agreement, 
      enter into specific purchase and sales contracts in respect of the 
      purchase of coal by Yuncheng Power Generation Company provided that such 
      specific purchase and sales contracts shall be subject to the terms of 
      the Coal Purchase Framework Agreement.

(2)   Quantity and quality: the actual quantity of coal to be purchased shall
      be based on the weighing of the coal by Yuncheng Power Generation Company
      on the spot; and the quality of coal shall be based on the results of 
      laboratory tests conducted by Yuncheng Power Generation Company on the 
      spot.

(3)   Consideration: the prices with respect to the supply of coal in specific
      batches shall be determined by the relevant parties in the ordinary 
      course of business on normal commercial terms on the basis of arm's 
      length negotiation according to the prevailing market conditions. 

(4)   Settlement and payment: Yuncheng Power Generation Company shall settle 
      payment for coal on a monthly basis, based on the effective invoices for
      measurement and laboratory tests results on quality.

(5)   Term: One year, commencing from 1 January 2012 to 31 December 2012.

      The Company confirms that each of the applicable percentage ratios (as
      defined under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) in respect of the 
      transaction amount under  the Coal Purchase Framework Agreement for the 
      period from 1 January 2012 to the date of this announcement did not 
      exceed the de minimis threshold set out under Chapter 14A of the Listing
      Rules.

(6)   The Coal Purchase Framework Agreement will become effective upon the 
      signing of the agreement by the relevant parties.


ANNUAL CAP

It is expected that the maximum aggregate transaction amount in respect of the 
Coal Purchase Framework Agreement for the year ending 31 December 2012 will not 
exceed RMB484 million, which is determined with reference to (i) the 
anticipated quantity of coal to be purchased by Yuncheng Power Generation 
Company from Datang Fuel Company and Datang Shaanxi Fuel Company for the year 
ending 31 December 2012; and (ii) the estimated market price of coal.


HISTORICAL TRANSACTION AMOUNTS

Yuncheng Power Generation Company did not conduct any transactions relating to 
the purchase of coal with Datang Fuel Company for the three years ended 
31 December 2009, 31 December 2010 and 31 December 2011. 

The total amount for the purchase of coal by Yuncheng Power Generation Company 
from Datang Shaanxi Fuel Company for the two years ended 31 December 2009 and 
31 December 2010 amounted to RMB27.50 million and RMB6.01 million, respectively. 
No purchase of coal was conducted between Yuncheng Power Generation Company and 
Datang Shaanxi Fuel Company in 2011.


LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS FOR THE COAL PURCHASE FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT 

As at the date of this announcement, CDC is the controlling Shareholder of the 
Company, which together with its subsidiaries hold approximately 34.71% of the 
issued share capital of the Company. Since Datang Fuel Company and Datang 
Shaanxi Fuel Company are subsidiaries of CDC, Datang Fuel Company and Datang 
Shaanxi Fuel Company are therefore connected persons of the Company under 
Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. The entering into the Coal Purchase Framework 
Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder constitute continuing 
connected transactions of the Company.

Since each of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined under Rule 14.07 of 
the Listing Rules) in respect of the aggregated transaction amount under the 
Coal Purchase Framework Agreement is higher than 0.1% but lower than 5%, the 
Coal Purchase Framework Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder
are only subject to the reporting and announcement requirements, but are exempt 
from the approval by the independent Shareholders of the Company under the 
requirements of Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. 

None of the Directors have any material interest in the transactions. Those 
connected Directors, including Liu Shunda, Hu Shengmu and Fang Qinghai, who are 
the principal management staff of CDC, have abstained from voting on the 
approval of the relevant transactions at the Board meeting in accordance with 
the requirements of the listing rules of the Shanghai Stock Exchange.


REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF ENTERING INTO THE COAL PURCHASE FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT

Since the quantity of coal to be distributed by Datang Fuel Company and Datang 
Shaanxi Fuel Company can be assured, the entering into the Coal Purchase 
Framework Agreement is able to, to a certain extent, mitigate the tension of 
Yuncheng Power Generation Company in securing the supply of thermal coal due to 
the lack of local resources. Moreover, the transaction prices for the supply of 
coal under the Coal Purchase Framework Agreement are determined by the parties 
after negotiations according to the prevailing market conditions and the 
transactions are fair. 

Directors (including independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that 
the relevant terms of the Coal Purchase Framework Agreement are fair, 
reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.
