V. Purpose of this RPT and its impact on the company
(I) Purpose of this RPT
Since 2010, CBRC kept in line with global financial regulation reform and
strengthened prudent regulation with successive unveiling of new regulatory
standards. On Apr 27, 2011, CBRC officially released Guidelines on Implementing
New Regulatory Standards in the Banking Industry [2011] No. 44 on Apr 27, 2011,
which raised minimum CAR requirement for non-systematically important banks
from 8.0% to 10.5%. The new standard will be implemented from Jan 1, 2012, and
non-systematically important banks are required to reach target by end of 2016.
Depending on CAR level, CBRC classify capital status of commercial banks into
three types: adequate capital, inadequate capital and severely inadequate capital; and
adopt classified regulatory measures in respect of business access, scale expansion
                                           6
and outlet establishment, etc. based on that. Therefore, it will be of strategic
significance to keep meeting CAR regulatory requirement and adapt to hard capital
restraint.
As a listed bank in China’s A-share market, the company gradually increased CAR via
accumulated capitals and various financing channels since 2004 in order to cope with
constantly changing economic, financial and regulatory environment at home and
abroad. In 2007 and 2008, the company supplemented about 5.7bn Yuan core capitals
through exercise of warrant. In 2008, it issued 8bn Yuan subordinated debt in total in
2008, 1.5bn hybrid debt in 2009, 6.93bn Yuan new shares to PA Life via non-public
offering, and 3.65bn Yuan hybrid debt in Apr 2011. As of Jun 30, 2011, the company’s
core CAR and CAR is 7.01% and 10.58%, respectively.
To meet capital requirements on steady and sustainable development of business and
proper expansion of the asset scale and to reach CBRC’s new regulatory standard as
soon as possible, the company needs to further issue shares to raise capital,
supplement core capital and improve CAR so that it can cope with rapid change and
challenge in domestic an foreign economy, achieve stable business, improve risk
prevention capabilities and bring more return to all shareholders.
(II) Impact on the company
This non-public offering will be helpful to raise the company’s CAR, thus increasing
risk preventing capabilities, boosting competitiveness and obtaining more business
development opportunities. Below is impact of this non-public offering on the
company’s business management and financial position:
1. Impact on net asset, net asset per share and net asset yield
Through this non-public offering, the net asset scale of the company will increase.
The issuing price this time is higher than the company’s net asset per share of Jun 30,
2011, so the net asset per share will increase accordingly. This offering will dilute the
company’s net asset yield in the short run, but it will be positive to increase the net
asset yield as raised funds begin to produce return in the long run.
2. Impact on the CAR
With funds raised through this non-public offering, the company’s CAR and core
CAR will further increase, thus boosting the risk-resisting capability.
3. Impact on the profitability
This non-public offering will promote rapid development of various business and
further improve the company’s profitability.
