Highly Effective Marketing Strategy Strong Syndicate Structure Comprehensive Pre-marketing Effective Roadshow Program BOCI was the sole bookrunner tightly coordinating the entire marketing process Supplemented with a syndicate of 7 domestic financial institutions to maximize investor reach and achieve a broad and stable investor base Comprehensive pre-marketing since beginning of the deal Full pre-deal research piece (which is an international practice, and in compliance with PRC regulations) Market soundings by our research analyst and salespeople The first-ever formal roadshow program used in conjunction with a domestic bond offering Investor group meetings in Beijing and Shanghai allowed over 50 institutional investors to meet with ADB management over the marketing period

Highly Efficient Time Table Form syndicate Distribute pre-deal research One-on-One meetings with potential anchor investors Formal feedback from investors Bookbuilding Roadshow Deal Launched Re-priced pricing range Pricing and Allocation Within a short time frame of two months, BOCI successfully completed ADB’s inaugural Panda bonds in China via an extremely efficient execution process

Fully Leveraging the Syndicate Structure Selection of syndicate members to complement BOCI’s strengths The syndicate consistent with domestic practice, and syndicate members “stand by underwrite” their commitments at the beginning of the deal However, as an innovation to satisfy ADB’s desire to achieve a balanced investor base, BOCI as bookrunner allocated the syndicate’s demand according to quality of demand. This is more common in international debt offerings In order to maximize the syndicate’s efficiency in communicating ADB’s investment merits and pricing rationale, BOCI invested much time and effort to educate and familiarize the syndicate members with the credit story of ADB As the sole bookrunner, BOCI was able to manage the investment story and generate demand tension ICBC ABC CCB Everbright Guo Tai & JunAn Shenyin &WanGuo Changjiang BNP Paribas Syndicate Members – 5% Stand-by underwriting each Sole Lead Manager and Bookrunner – 65% underwriting

Comprehensive Pre-marketing Effort BOCI’s top-ranked fixed income research team produced a full report on ADB in Chinese a few days prior to the offering As the domestic investor base did not previously have much exposure to ADB, this was important in their credit assessment and pricing considerations Following issuance of the research report, our research analyst and sales team met with potential investors to assess their preferences, concerns and demand levels prior to the official launch of the deal BOCI has conducted pre-marketing one-on-one meeting with over institutional 14 investors Only large size potential anchor investors were approached at this stage The feedback was important in allowing us to recommend and set an accurate price range for the offering Pre-marketing effort enhanced understanding of ADB by potential anchor investors
