PRINCIPAL TERMS AND BENEFITS OF

SHORT-TERM COMMERCIAL PAPERS

 

 

B. Benefits of the short-term commercial papers

Short-term commercial papers are relatively new means of short-term fund raising in the People’s Republic of China. Given the interest rate of short-term commercial papers is more favourable than short-term bank loans and the approval procedure for issuance of short-term commercial papers is not complicated, the directors are of the view that the issue of the short-term commercial papers is in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.

Notes:

1. Please fill in the number of shares registered in your name(s) to which this form of proxy relates. Failure to fill in the number of shares will cause this form of proxy to be deemed to relate to all the shares registered in the Company in your name(s).

2. Holders of the Company’s H shares, please fill in your full name(s) and address(es) in BLOCK LETTERS; holders of the Company’s A shares, please fill in your full name(s), identity card number(s) and shareholder number(s) in BLOCK LETTERS.

3. Please fill in the total number of shares registered in your name(s).

4. Any shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the AGM is entitled to appoint more than one proxy to attend the AGM and vote on his/her behalf. If any proxy other than the Chairman of the AGM is preferred, please strike out “the Chairman of the 2012 annual general meeting of the Company” and insert the name, address and identity card number of the proxy to be appointed in the space provided. A shareholder is entitled to appoint any person of his/her own choice to be his/her proxy. A proxy may not be a shareholder of the Company but he/she must attend the AGM in person.

5. Note: If you intend to vote for any resolution, please mark “ü” in the “for” column. If you intend to vote against the resolution, please mark “ü” in the “against” column. If no instruction is given, the appointed proxy shall have the discretion to vote.

6. Please note that:

In respect of resolution 8 regarding election of directors, as required under Article 121 of the Articles of Association and Article 63 of the Rules of Procedure for Shareholders’ General Meeting, if the controlling shareholder of the Company exercises more than 30% of control over votes, when resolutions are proposed for the election of directors at a shareholders’ general meeting, the cumulative voting system shall be adopted. Thus, where two or more directors will be elected in a shareholder’s general meeting, each share held by a shareholder shall have voting rights equal to the total number of candidates proposed for election. A shareholder may either elect one candidate with all of his/her/its shares, or vote separately for several persons; currently, China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation, the Company’s controlling shareholder, has more than 30% of control over the Company, therefore as two directors shall be elected at the meeting, the cumulative voting system will be adopted when voting on the relevant resolutions and voting results will be counted.

To ensure that your voting right is adequately exercised, please refer to the following explanation on resolution 8 and fill in your intended votes:

(i) in respect of resolution 8, each share you hold has equal votes in relation to the total number of candidates for election as directors. For example, if you possess one million shares, and the total number of candidates for election as directors is two, the total number of shares for which you have the voting rights under resolution 8 will be two million shares (being one million shares x 2 = two million shares).

(ii) please state the number of votes in the column “for” and/or “against”, the voting rights of which you give to each of the candidates for election as directors. Please note that you may either vote for each candidate with equal number of votes, or all your votes as represented by the shares you hold for the election of one particular candidate as director, or a certain number of votes as represented by the shares you hold for the selection of the two candidates as director. For example, if you own one million shares, and two directors should be elected in this election, the total number of shares for which you have the voting rights under resolution 8 is two million shares. Out of the two million shares, you can either share your voting rights on average to two candidates for election as directors so that you may vote one million shares to each of the candidate (vote for or against); or, all of the two million votes may also be voted by you in relation to one particular candidate as director (either for or against), or, 1.5 million shares in relation to candidate A (either for or against), and the balance of 500,000 shares in relation to candidate B (either for or against) as director.

(iii) After you have allocated the voting rights represented by all of the shares held by you on a certain number of candidates for a director, you may not exercise your voting rights again in respect of another candidate for a director. That is, the sum of all the voting rights you voted for or against the two candidates for election as directors shall not exceed the total number of voting rights represented by the shares held by you.

(iv) Please note with particular attention that, if the total number of votes you have exercised and allocated to one of the candidates for directors exceeds the total number of voting rights represented by the shares held by you, your votes shall be become void, and you will be deemed to be abstained from voting. If the total number of votes you have exercised and allocated to the two candidates for director is less than the total number of voting rights represented by the shares held by you, your vote shall still be deemed as valid, and those votes not exercised will be deemed as being abstained from voting. For example, if you own one million shares, and two directors should be elected in this election, the total number of votes as represented by your shares under resolution 8 will be two million: (a) if you have stated “two million shares” in the column “for” (or “against”) in the cumulative voting system in favor of one particular candidate for non-independent director, then your voting rights are fully utilized, and you do not have any votes in relation to another candidate for an director. If you have stated the number of shares (other than 0 shares) in other corresponding columns under resolution 8, then all your votes in respect of the resolution 8 will be deemed to be void; or (b) if you have stated “one million shares” in the column “for” (or “against”) in the cumulative voting system in favor of candidate A, and “500,000 shares” in the column “for” (or “against”) in the cumulative voting system in favor of candidate B, then your votes as represented by such 1.5 million shares shall be valid, whilst the remaining 500,000 shares which have not been allocated shall be deemed to have been abstained from voting.

7. This form of proxy must be signed by you or your proxy duly authorized in writing or, in the case of a corporation, must be affixed with either its common seal or with the signature by handwriting by its legal representative (person-in-charge) or the authorized proxy.

If this form of proxy is signed by your authorized proxy, the power of attorney or other authorizing document authorizing your proxy’s signing must be notarized.

8. Holders of the Company’s A shares should note that: in order to be valid, this form of proxy, together with the notarially certified power of attorney or other authorizing document (if any), must be returned to the registered address of the Company (No. 48 Jinyi Road, Jinshan District, Shanghai, the PRC, postal code: 200540) attention to The Secretariat of the Board of Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limited, not less than 24 hours before the time for holding the AGM or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be).
