l Base Asset Formation
China Construction Bank (CCB) and China Foreign Economic & Trade Trust & Investment Co., Ltd. (CFETTI) will jointly establish and acquire the beneficiary right of a “Lishui Nancheng Construction Company Limited Loan Fund Trust” with all the subscription monies. Investors will share earnings and risks in proportion to their respective subscription amounts in this financial product.
l Operation of the Base Asset
CCB and CFETTI will jointly establish a “Lishui Nancheng Construction Company Limited Loan Fund Trust” with all the subscription monies. CFETTI will, as the nominal party, extend a trust loan to Lishui Nancheng Construction Company Limited, and will entrust CCB Lishui Branch as the custodian service provider of the trust loan.
l Participating entities
Principal of Fund Trust: China Construction Bank Corporation (CCB)
Trustee of Fund Trust and Lender of Trust Loan: China Foreign Economic and Trade Trust & Investment Company Limited (CFETTI)
Borrower of Trust Loan: Lishui Nancheng Construction Company Limited
Custodian service provider of trust credit asset: CCB Lishui Branch
3. Explanation of Earnings
l The expected earnings mentioned in this Prospectus do not represent the actual earnings obtained by investors upon maturity of the Product, nor do they constitute any promise in earnings of this Product on the part of CCB.
l Formula for earnings calculation: Earnings for an Investor = investment amount x actual annualised yield x actual days of investment/365
l Basis for the estimation of the maximum expected yield of this Product: The interest rate charged by CFETTI on the trust loan extended to Lishui Nancheng Construction Company Limited less the relevant tax rate, trust management fee rate, service provider management fee rate and product management fee rate.
l If the debtor of the base asset, Lishui Nancheng Construction Company Limited, managed to make full and timely interest payments, the maximum expected yield of this Product will be realised. If there is any default in interest payment, however, the yield of this Product may be lower than the maximum or may even be zero.
4. Payment of Principal & Earnings
l The principal of this Product is 100% guaranteed by CCB.
l The principal and earnings of this product will be paid out in one lump sum on June 24th 2009 (no interest will be accrued between the Maturity Date and the Payment Date); this payment date will be correspondingly postponed if it falls on a statutory holiday.
5. Risk warnings
Investors subscribing this Product unequivocally know that they may be exposed to the following risks and they are willing to undertake these risks voluntarily:
5.1 Credit risk: Lishui Nancheng Construction Company Limited may default on the payment of trust loan principal and interest. In such an event, the yield of this Product may be lower than the maximum expected yield and may even be 0.
5.2 Liquidity risk: The fact that investors have no right to terminate in advance would mean that liquidation of the investment is impossible at a time when cash is needed, or that opportunities to participate in other investments are lost, or that the expected yield turns out to be lower than the inflation rate due to a rise in the consumer price index, thus leading to the risk of getting a negative effective yield.
5.3 Market risk: Neither the expected yield nor the actual yield of this Product will change with changes in market interest rates.
5.4 Early termination risk: During the investment period, if the debtor of the base asset, Lishui Nancheng Construction Company Limited, fully repays its loan in advance, or circumstances have arisen that CCB deems it necessary to terminate this Product in advance, CCB will have the right to terminate this Product in advance. In such situations, investors may be exposed to the risk of not being able to obtain their entitled earnings for the expected duration.
5.5 Policy risk: The risk caused by changes in the relevant laws, rules, regulations and policies and by the promulgation and implementation of emergency measures.
5.6 Other risks: These include risks due to force majeure factors such as natural disasters, financial crisis, wars, etc and risks arising out of technical reasons, e.g. computer system failures, which can cause a delay in the paying out of principal and earnings. In addition, there is the risk that product information cannot be disclosed on time due to communication failures, system failures and other force majeure factors.
CCB will not undertake the above-mentioned risks nor the responsibilities arising thereof.
