The Guidelines is used to regulate the internal statistical work within the securities and futures regulatory system. All entities and departments within the regulatory system shall prepare, report and publish any statistic data in the field of securities and futures in accordance with the uniform criteria specified by the Guidelines. Except that other market participants shall comply with the requirements of the Guidelines in submitting statistical data to regulators, they may apply the Guidelines on a voluntary basis and are not compelled to use it. 3. The statistical indicators contained in the Guidelines fall into the following five categories: stock market indicators, bond market indicators, fund market indicators, futures market indicators and securities and futures dealer indicators. 4. The structure of an indicator consists of such parts as "name of indicator", "basic definition", "statistical attributes", "category of indicator", "notes", and "relevant Rules and Regulations". 5. Financial indicators referred to in the Guidelines are generally used for the purpose of summary statistics. 6. While trading volume and value referred to in the Guidelines are calculated on a one-way basis, transaction volume and value referred to herein are calculated on a two-way basis. Positions in futures contracts and value of positions referred to herein are calculated on a one-way basis. 7. With regard to market-wide indicators referred to in the Guidelines, their calculation results are made publicly available and published by the statistical administration department of the CSRC. 8. The 9 indicators, including dividend yield ratio, which are referred to in the Guidelines Regarding the Standards for Statistical Indicators in the Securities and Futures Industry No.1 (Trial Implementation) issued by the CSRC in June 2012 have been incorporated into the Guidelines and are subject to the provisions of the Guidelines. 5 9.

If any conflict or ambiguity in the calculation of a statistical indicator arises as a result of any regime or product innovation or a change in regulations, the statistical administration department of the CSRC shall negotiate a provisional solution with the relevant reporting entity. 11. The statistical administration department of the CSRC shall revise the Guidelines on a periodic basis. 12. The CSRC shall be responsible for the interpretation of the Guidelines. 6 Stock Market SK-I: Market Size SK-I-1: Number of Listed Companies I.

For the convenience of statistical calculation, the share capital of listed companies herein only refers to the quantity of shares issued by listed companies in China, including the share capital of A shares, B shares and other non-tradable domestic shares.

For an IPO attached with the over-allotment option, proceeds raised through the IPO shall be retrospectively adjusted based on the actual exercise of the over-allotment option. (2) Proceeds raised through subsequent offerings The term “proceeds raised through subsequent offerings” refers to the aggregate amount of funds raised through such means as follow-on offerings (public offerings and private placements), rights issues and exercise during the statistical calculation period. 1.

Proceeds raised through follow-on offerings =∑ (follow-on offering price per share* quantity of shares being issued). Based on different subscribers of shares being issued, proceeds raised through follow-on offerings can be divided into proceeds raised through public follow-on offerings and proceeds raised through private placements. Depending on whether shares being issued are subscribed to in cash, proceeds raised through follow-on offerings can be divided into proceeds (via subscription made in cash)and those (via subscription made in non-cash assets) . 2. Proceeds raised through rights issues The term “proceeds raised through rights issues” refers to the aggregate amount of funds raised by listed companies through placing shares to their original shareholders during the statistical calculation period.

Proceeds raised through exercise 13 Proceeds raised through exercise include proceeds raised through exercise of warrants (options) and proceeds raised through conversion of convertible bonds. Proceeds raised through exercise=∑ (exercise price* quantity of shares subscribed to by exercise) ++∑(conversion price * quantity of convertible bonds being converted). IV.

(4) Free-float market capitalization The term “free-float market capitalization” refers to the total value of equity calculated based on the price of A-shares issued by listed companies and the share capital of their freely tradable A-shares. IV. Notes (1) In the absence of a trading price on the day, the closing price of the final trading day shall be adopted; the price of shares issued by a suspended listed company shall be treated as zero.

Pclose,i,adj—closing price of the final trading day after the rights restoration process within the statistical calculation period; and Ppreclose,1,adj—closing price of the first trading day before the rights restoration process within the statistical calculation period The rights restoration process for a single stock is as follows: Pclose,i ,adj Pclose,i AFi 89 Ppreclose,i,adj Ppreclose,i AFi In which: AFi Pclose,i 1 Ppreclose,i AFi 1 In which: AF0—the initial value of rights restoration factor of on the first day of IPO is 1, i.e. AF0 1 ;
