ISSUE OF SHORT-TERM DEBENTURES
This announcement is made by Huaneng Power International, Inc. (the “Company”) pursuant to Rule 13.09(2) of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.
As resolved at the Company’s shareholders’ meeting held on 22nd May 2007, the Company has been given a mandate to issue within the PRC short-term debentures of an aggregate principal amount not exceeding RMB5 billion during a period of 12 months from the date on which the shareholders’ approval was obtained. The short-term debentures can be issued by one tranche or by multiple tranches.
The Company has completed the issue of the first tranche of the Company’s short-term debenture on 9th August 2007 (the “Debenture”). The Debenture, at a total issuing amount of RMB5 billion, will carry interest with a maturity period of 364 days whereas the interest rate is 3.84%.
China Construction Bank Corporation Limited acts as the lead underwriter to take the lead to form the underwriting syndicate for the Debenture. The Debenture will be placed through book-building, and will be issued in the PRC interbank debenture market. The proceeds from the Debenture will be used as the Company’s working capital so as to meet the Company’s operation need, which is beneficial for improving the Company’s debt structure and reducing its financing costs.
The relevant documents in respect of the Debentures are posted on www.chinamoney.com.cn and www.chinabond.com.cn
The Debenture does not constitute any transaction under Chapter 14 and Chapter 14A of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.
