China Power International Development Limited 中国电力国际发展有限公司(incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability) (Stock Code: 2380) CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTION Renewal of a Property Lease Agreement The Board announces that on
31 August 2015, the Company has entered into the Property Lease Agreement with CPI Holding in relation to a renewal of tenancy for the Premises. As at the date of this announcement, CPI Holding owns approximately 55.55% of the issued share capital of the Company. As CPI Holding is the controlling shareholder of the Company, CPI Holding is a connected person of the Company within the meaning of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Property Lease Agreement constitutes a continuing connected transaction of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Pursuant to the Property Lease Agreement, the maximum annual rental payable by the Company to CPI Holding amounts to RMB20,908,800 (equivalent to approximately HK$25,498,500). As the applicable percentage ratios as defined under Chapter
14 of the Listing Rules in relation to the maximum annual rental exceed 0.1% but fall below 5%, therefore the transaction is subject to the announcement, reporting and annual review requirements but is exempt from the independent shareholders' approval under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that as far as the shareholders of the Company are concerned, the Property Lease Agreement is entered into in the ordinary course of the Company's business, on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole. The Board announces that the Company entered into the Property Lease Agreement on
31 August
2015 with CPI Holding in relation to a renewal of tenancy for the Premises.
