Proposed issue of Bonds under General Mandate
On 10 September, 2025 (after trading hours), China Pacific Insurance (Group)
Co., Ltd. (the "Company" or "CPIC") and the Managers entered into the
Subscription Agreement. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, among other
things, the Company has agreed to issue to the Managers or as they may direct,
and the Managers have severally and not jointly agreed to subscribe and pay
for, or to procure subscribers to subscribe and pay for, the Bonds, subject to
certain conditions set out in the Subscription Agreement.
A book-building exercise has been conducted by the Managers, after which the
terms of the Bonds, including but not limited to, the principal amount and the
initial Conversion Price, have been determined.
The Bonds, to be issued by the Company in the aggregate principal amount of
HK$15,556,000,000 are, in the circumstances set out in the Terms and
Conditions, convertible into H Shares. The initial Conversion Price is
HK$39.04 per H Share (subject to adjustments).
Assuming full conversion of the Bonds at the initial Conversion Price of
HK$39.04 per H Share and no further Shares are issued, the Bonds will be
convertible into 398,463,114 Conversion Shares, representing approximately
14.36% of the number of existing issued H Shares and approximately 4.14% of
the existing issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this
announcement; and approximately 12.55% of the number of issued H Shares and
approximately 3.98% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by
the issue of the Conversion Shares upon the full conversion of the Bonds (also
assuming that the Company's share capital has not changed due to any reason).
The Conversion Shares will be fully-paid and rank pari passu in all respects
with the H Shares then in issue on the relevant registration date.
Subject to completion of the issue of the Bonds, the Company intends to apply
the net proceeds from the issue of the Bonds for (i) development of insurance
business; (ii) implementation of strategic development initiatives in health
service & elderly care, AI+, internationalization; and (iii) general
corporate purpose, including supplementing working capital.
The Conversion Shares will be allotted and issued pursuant to the general
mandate granted to the Board by the Shareholders at the 2024 annual general
meeting of the Company held on 11 June 2025. The issue and subscription of the
Bonds and the issue of the Conversion Shares by the Company are not subject to
further Shareholders' approval.
The Registration Certificate of Foreign Debt Borrowed by Enterprise
(企業借用外債審核登記證明) in relation to the issuance of the
Bonds has been obtained from the NDRC. The Company will apply to the Hong Kong
Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Bonds and
the Conversion Shares to be allotted and issued upon conversion of the Bonds.
Completion of the issue and subscription of the Bonds is subject to the
satisfaction and/or waiver of the conditions precedent set out in the
Subscription Agreement. In addition, the Subscription Agreement may be
terminated in certain circumstances.
As the issue and subscription of the Bonds under the Subscription Agreement
may or may not proceed to completion, and the Bonds and/or the Conversion
Shares may or may not be issued or listed, Shareholders and potential
investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the securities of
the Company.
