Overseas
Regulatory Announcement
This
announcement is made pursuant to Rule 13.09(2) of the Rules Governing the
Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.
This
announcement is made by China Eastern Airlines Corporation Limited (the
"Company") in compliance with Rule 13.09(2) of the Rules
Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited
("Listing Rules") (which requires any issuer listed on The
Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited whose securities are also listed on other
stock exchange(s) to simultaneously inform The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong
Limited of any information released to any of such other exchange(s) and
to
ensure that such information is released to the market in Hong Kong at the
same
time as it is released to the other market(s)).
The
Company has noted the recent press coverage regarding the introduction of
strategic investors by the Company being published in some media. The following
statement is made at the request of the Shanghai Stock Exchange:
In
order
to extend opportunities for commercial collaboration and enhance the Company's
competitiveness, the Company has been approached by and is negotiating for
collaboration with a number of potential strategic investors, including the
Singapore Airlines, with a view to introduce strategic investors at an
appropriate time.
After
consultation and advised by China Eastern Air Holding Company, the Company's
controlling shareholder, in order to remove the restrictions imposed by laws
and
regulations and the state policies on the introduction of strategic investors,
the Company's controlling shareholder has recently consulted the relevant
authorities of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission
of the State Council in respect of the feasibility of introducing strategic
investors. However, the details of the final decision as to the means and
timing
for the introduction of strategic investors, if any, and the principal terms
and
conditions of the possible transactions are yet to be determined, and so
far no
relevant agreement has been reached. Once the Company has identified or
introduced a strategic investor and a formal agreement is reached and executed,
the Company will strictly comply with the requirements of the relevant Listing
Rules and make timely disclosure.
Shanghai
Securities News and China Daily are the designated press for information
disclosure by the Company
in China and Hong Kong, respectively, and any information disclosed by the
Company in the announcements published in the above designated press prevails.
Investors are advised to be cautious and be
aware
of the risk associated with the investment.
