References are made to the announcement dated 24 August 2012 in relation to the renewal of the Financial Services Agreement with Chinalco Finance (the "Financial Services Agreement Renewal Announcement") and the announcement dated 27 August 2012 in relation to the renewal of the continuing connected transactions for the next three years expiring on 31 December 2015 (the "Renewal of Continuing Connected Transactions Announcement") of Aluminum Corporation of China Limited* (the "Company"). Unless the context requires otherwise, capitalised terms used herein shall have the same respective meanings adopted in the Financial Services Agreement Renewal Announcement and the Renewal of Continuing Connected Transactions Announcement. |
EXPECTED DATE OF DESPATCH OF THE CIRCULAR |
As the Company needs more time to confirm and compile information, the Company is unable to despatch the circular (the "Circular") in relation to the Renewed Financial Services Agreement as well as the Non-exempt Continuing Connected Transactions within 15 business days after the dates of the relevant announcements. Upon due considerations, the Company expects the Circular will be despatched on or before 12 October 2012. |
INFORMATION ON THE RENEWED FINANCIAL SERVICES AGREEMENT |
The Company signed the Renewed Financial Services Agreement with Chinalco Finance on 24 August 2012, which, subject to Shareholders' approval as to the applicable annual caps, will be valid for a term of three years from 26 August 2012 to 25 August 2015. |
The Company confirms that the deposit services with Chinalco Finance will be conducted below the threshold under Rule 14A.34(1) of the Hong Kong Listing Rules before obtaining the Shareholders' approval in relation to the Renewed Financial Services Agreement. |
It was stated in the Renewed Financial Services Agreement Announcement that estimated annual amount of the miscellaneous financial services for the next three years ending 31 December 2015 will be de minimis and exempt from the reporting, announcement and independent shareholders' approval requirements of the Hong Kong Listing Rules. According to the revised size tests, the highest percentage ratio (i.e. the consideration ratio) of the miscellaneous financial services exceeds 0.1%, and such services are subject to the reporting and announcement requirements, although it is exempt from the independent shareholders' approval. |
