Announcement on the Resolutions of the 22nd Meeting of the 4th Session BOD
2008-11-4
6) Interest rate
Both fixed and floating interest rates are adapted to the bonds in agreement between the issuer and subscribers. The interest will be paid once a year.
7) Deferred interest
Before the maturity of the bonds, the issuer may choose to make deferred interest payment on the basis of a core CAR less than 4% calculated in the latest audited financial report; the issuer must make deferred interest payment when the total of surplus reserves plus retained earnings appears to be minus in the latest audited balance sheet, and cash dividends haven’t been distributed to common share holders in the last 12 months (the distribution date of cash dividend to common share holders is subject to the date approved in the relevant resolution by the shareholders meeting of the issuer). The interest paid in the deferred payment by the issuer becomes overdue interest, which will be calculated on the basis of the interest rate for the bonds as mentioned above.
The deferred interest payment made by the issuer should be approved by the CBRC in advance. When the issuer is not qualified with the conditions to defer interest, the overdue interest and interest incurred for the overdue interest should be immediately due and be paid off.
8) Suspension of claim rights
Upon maturity of the bonds, if (1) the issuer is incapable of paying the debts of repayment order prior to the bonds, or (2) the issuer’s repayment of the bonds will cause its incapability in paying the debts of repayment order prior to the bonds, the bond holders should suspend their rights to claim. Under this circumstance, the issuer has the right to make deferred payment of the principals and all interests payable.
