profit and final dividend of the Company for the year of 2014.
For the year of 2014, net distributable profit to owners of the Company was
approximately RMB13,887 million which is determined based on the financial statements
prepared in accordance with China Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises and
International Financial Reporting Standards, whichever is lower. The Board has proposed a
final dividend of RMB0.17172 (including tax) per share (totaling approximately RMB2,778
million which represents approximately 20% of the abovementioned net profit attributable to
owners of the Company). The proposed dividend distribution will be distributed to all
Shareholders on the basis of the total issued share capital of 16,174,735,425 Shares.
The final dividends are expected to be paid to Shareholders whose names appear on the
register of members of the Company at the opening of business on Monday, 29 June 2015. For
purpose of ascertaining Shareholder’s entitlement to the proposed final dividend, the register
of members of the Company will be closed from Wednesday, 24 June 2015 to Monday, 29 June

–5–
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Monday, 29 June 2015 are entitled to the final dividends. The proposed final dividends will be
denominated and declared in Renminbi and will be paid to holders of A Shares in Renminbi and
to holders of H Shares in Hong Kong dollars. The relevant exchange rate is determined at
RMB0.79186 equivalent to HKD1.00 as the middle rate of Renminbi to Hong Kong dollars as
announced by the PBOC on the date when such dividends were declared. For more information,
please refer to the annual report of the Company, which was dispatched to the Shareholders on
30 April 2015.
RE-APPOINTMENT OF PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS AS THE COMPANY’S
INTERNATIONAL AUDITORS AND PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS ZHONG TIAN
LLP AS THE COMPANY’S DOMESTIC AUDITORS AND AUTHORISATION OF THE
BOARD TO DETERMINE THEIR RESPECTIVE REMUNERATION
An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to approve the re-appointment of
PricewaterhouseCoopers as the Company’s international auditor and PricewaterhouseCoopers
Zhong Tian LLP as the Company’s domestic auditor for a term ending at the next AGM of the
Company, and to approve the authorisation to the Board to determine their respective
remuneration.
ESTIMATED CAP FOR THE INTERNAL GUARANTEES OF THE GROUP IN 2015
According to the Shanghai Listing Rules, “a listed company, with the amount of
guarantees aggregated over a period of twelve consecutive months exceeding 50 percent of its
latest audited net assets and with the absolute amount exceeding RMB50 million, or when
providing guarantees to enterprises with asset-to-liability ratio exceeding 70%, shall submit the
transaction of granting guarantees to the shareholders’ general meeting for consideration and
approval, as well as make a timely disclosure.”
The Company estimated that the cap for the internal guarantees of the Company in 2015
will amount to RMB60,360 million, among which, RMB47,800 million will be provided by the
Company to its wholly-owned subsidiaries, RMB9,000 million will be provided by the
Company to its non-wholly-owned subsidiaries, RMB3,260 million will be provided by the
Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries to their respective subsidiaries and the remaining
RMB300 million will be provided by the Company to its jointly controlled entities. The
resolution in relation to the estimated cap for the internal guarantees of the Group in 2015 will
be valid from the date of passing the resolution at the AGM until the conclusion date of the next
AGM of the Company following the passing of the resolution. To the best knowledge and belief
of the Company, none of those companies receiving guarantees is a connected person of the
Company. The guarantees to be provided to its jointly controlled entities with a total amount
of RMB300 million, after aggregation, do not constitute discloseable transactions under
Chapter 14 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules.
The aforesaid resolution, which has been made at the thirteenth meeting of the third
session of the Board held on 30 March 2015, will be subject to Shareholders’ approval by way
of an ordinary resolution at the AGM. The Board also proposed to the Shareholders to authorise
the management of the Company to carry out relevant formalities when providing internal
guarantees within the approved amount.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
SPECIFIC SELF-INSPECTION REPORT ON THE REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT
PROJECTS OF THE COMPANY
Due to the Proposed Issuance of Non-public Preference Shares by the Company,
according to the requirements of the relevant laws and regulations of PRC, the Company
conducted the specific self-inspection on whether there are such violation of laws and
regulations as idle land and speculation in respect of domestic residential real estate projects
developed by the Company and all subsidiaries and branches of the Company in the scope of
consolidation, whether it is subject to administrative penalty or investigation from the
authorities of land and resources due to such violation of laws and regulations as idle land, and

from sale and raising housing prices in respect of the real estate projects publicly traded in the
domestic market by the Company and all subsidiaries and branches of the Company in the

was mainly due to force majeure such as demolition and planning adjustment or acts
of government and relevant government authorities. The Company and project
companies didn’t deliberately delay in land development and construction and there
weren’t other conditions subject to administrative penalties due to such violation of
the relative regulations as the Measures on Disposal of Idle Land. Other than the
above projects, there wasn’t circumstance of idle land in respect of other residential
real estate development projects within the Self-inspection Scope;
