ISSUE OF SUPER SHORT-TERM NOTES
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"), the Company has been given a mandate to apply to the National Association of Financial Market Institutional Investors for quota of the issue of super short-term notes with a principal amount of not exceeding RMB30 billion to be issued within the effective period on a rolling basis. On 9 May 2012, the Company received a Notification on Acceptance of Registration (Zhong Shi Xie Zhu [2012] No.SCP5) from the National Association of Financial Market Institutional Investors, accepting the registration of the super short﹣term notes.
The Company has completed the issue of the third tranche of the Company’s super short-term notes for 2013 on 15 May 2013 (the "Notes"). The total issuing amount was RMB5 billion with a maturity period of 270 days whereas the unit face value is RMB100 and the interest rate is 3.8%.
China Construction Bank Limited and China Merchants Bank Co., Ltd act as the joint lead underwriters to form the underwriting syndicate for the Notes, which will be placed through book-building and issued in the domestic bond market among banks. The proceeds from the Notes will be used principally to settle part of the bank loans so as to improve its debt structure and to supplement short term operational working capital.
The relevant documents in respect of the Notes are posted on China Money and Shanghai Clearing House at websites of www.chinamoney.com.cn and www.shclearing.com, respectively.
The Notes do not constitute any transaction under Chapter 14 and Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.
