This announcement is made pursuant to Rule 13.10B of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Listing Rules").
As resolved at the 2011 annual general meeting of Huaneng Power International, Inc. (the "Company") held on 12 June 2012, the Company has been given a mandate to apply to the National Association of Financial Market Institutional Investors for quota of the issue of private placement of financial instruments with a principal amount of not exceeding RMB15 billion within 12 months from the date of obtaining the approval at the general meeting (to be issued within the effective period on a rolling basis). On 29 May 2013, the Company received a Notification on Acceptance of Registration (Zhong Shi Xie Zhu 2013 No.PPN146) from the National Association of Financial Market Institutional Investors, accepting the registration of the private placement of financial instruments.
The Company completed the issue of the first tranche of the Company’s private placement of financial instruments for 2013 on 4 June 2013 (the "Private Placement of Financial Instruments"). The total issuing amount was RMB5 billion with a term of 3 years whereas the unit face value is RMB100 and the interest rate is 4.82%.
China Construction Bank Limited acted as the lead underwriter and Haitong Securities Co., Ltd. acted as co-lead underwriter for the Private Placement of Financial Instruments. The proceeds from the Private Placement of Financial Instruments will be used principally to supplement operational working capital so as to support the speedy development of the Company, and at
the same time lower the Company’s finance cost, further adjust its debt structure and strengthen its competitiveness.
The Private Placement of Financial Instruments do not constitute any transaction under Chapter 14 and Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.
