EXPECTED TIMETABLE

Notes:

  1. The H Share Offer is made on Thursday, 21 November 2019, the date of posting of the Composite Document, and is capable of being accepted on and from this date.
  2. The reply slip should be duly completed and returned to the Registrar, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wan Chai, Hong Kong on Monday, 16 December 2019 (i.e. 20 clear days prior to the date of convening of the Extraordinary General Meeting and the H Share Class Meeting). Failure to return the reply slip will not affect the Independent H Shareholders' right to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting and the H Share Class Meeting.
  3. The proxy form should be deposited with the Registrar, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wan Chai, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event by the time stated above, in order to be valid. Completion and return of a proxy form for the Extraordinary General Meeting and/or the H Share Class Meeting will not preclude an Independent H Shareholder from attending the Extraordinary General Meeting and/or the H Share Class Meeting and, as the case may be, voting in person if he/she/it so wishes and if such Independent H Shareholder has notified Huaneng Renewables not less than 24 hours in writing before the time appointed for any adjournment of the Extraordinary General Meeting and the H Share Class Meeting. In such event, the returned proxy form will be deemed to have been revoked.
  4. It is assumed that the H Share Offer has not become unconditional as to acceptances or in all respects prior to the First Closing Date. In accordance with the Takeovers Code, the H Share Offer must initially be opened for acceptance for at least 21 days following the date on which the Composite Document was posted. Pursuant to Rule 15.5 of the Takeovers Code, except with the consent of the Executive, the H Share Offer may not become or be declared unconditional as to acceptance after 7:00 p.m. on the 60th day after the posting of the Composite Document.
  5. Unless the H Share Offer has previously become or been declared unconditional, revised or extended, the latest time and date for acceptance of the H Share Offer is 4:00 p.m. on the First Closing Date. Please refer to Appendix I to the Composite Document for additional information on how to accept the H Share Offer.
  6. Pursuant to Rule 20.1 of the Takeovers Code, settlement in cash in respect of acceptances of the H Share Offer will be made within 7 business days (as defined under the Takeovers Code) of the later of the date on which the H Share Offer has become or is declared unconditional and the date on which the H Shares are tendered for acceptance of the H Share Offer. Relevant documents of title must be received by the Registrar to render each acceptance of the H Share Offer complete and valid. Remittances in respect of the H Shares tendered for acceptance and taken up by China Huaneng under the H Share Offer (after, if applicable, deducting the seller's ad valorem stamp duty arising therefrom) will be posted to the H Shareholders by ordinary post at their own risk.
  7. Pursuant to Rule 15.5 of the Takeovers Code, except with the consent of the Executive, the H Share Offer (whether revised or not) may not become or be declared unconditional as to acceptances after 7:00 p.m. on the 60th date after the Composite Document was posted. China Huaneng may further apply to extend the latest date to declare the H Share Offer unconditional as to acceptances beyond Monday, 20 January 2020 and the Executive may or may not grant such consent.
  8. In compliance with the note to Rule 2.2 and Rule 15.3 of the Takeovers Code, where the H Share Offer becomes or is declared unconditional in all respects, it should remain open for acceptance for not less than 28 days thereafter. At least 14 days' notice in writing must be given before the H Share Offer is closed to the H Shareholders who have not accepted the H Share Offer if the announcement to extend the H Share Offer does not state the next closing date. China Huaneng reserves the right to extend the H Share Offer beyond this 28-day period.
  9. It is currently expected that the voluntary withdrawal of listing of the H Shares from the Stock Exchange would happen at 4:00 p.m. on Monday, 24 February 2020, subject to the satisfaction of any conditions for delisting such securities from the Stock Exchange, and receipt of any regulatory approvals required for such delisting.

  2. The latest time and date for acceptance of the H Share Offer, the latest date for posting of remittances for the amounts due under the H Share Offer in respect of valid acceptances, the last day of trading of H Shares and voluntary withdrawal of listing of the H Shares will not take effect if there is a tropical cyclone warning signal number 8 above, or a "black" rainstorm warning, in force in Hong Kong at any local time between 12:00 noon and 4:00 p.m. on the such relevant date.

Based on the H Share Offer Price of HK$3.17 per H Share and 5,031,220,992 H Shares in issue as at the date of this Composite Document, the maximum value of the H Share Offer (assuming the H Share Offer is accepted in full and there is no change in the share capital of Huaneng Renewables) is approximately HK$15,948,970,545. The consideration will be paid in cash.

Settlement of consideration in respect of acceptance of the H Share Offer will be made as soon as possible but in any event within seven (7) Business Days of (i) the date of receipt of a complete and valid acceptance in respect of the H Share Offer or (ii) the Unconditional Date, whichever is later.

LETTER FROM CLSA LIMITED

  1. the passing of a resolution by the Independent H Shareholders approving the Delisting at the Extraordinary General Meeting to be convened for this purpose, provided that:
    1. approval is given by at least 75% of the votes attaching to the Shares held by the Independent H Shareholders that are cast either in person or by proxy; and
    2. the number of votes cast (by way of poll) against the resolution is not more than 10% of the votes attaching to all the Shares held by the Independent H Shareholders;
  2. minimum valid acceptances of the H Share Offer being received (and not, where permitted, withdrawn) by 4:00 p.m. on the Closing Date (or such later time or date as China Huaneng may, subject to the Takeovers Code, decide) amounting to at least 90% of the H Shares held by the Independent H Shareholders;
  3. all necessary authorisations, consents and approvals (including approval in-principle) of any governmental or regulatory body in relation to the H Share Offer (including its implementation) (if applicable) having been obtained and remaining in full force and effect pursuant to the provision of any laws or regulations in the PRC and other relevant jurisdictions;
  4. no action, decision, order, proceeding, enquiry or investigation having been taken or made by any relevant government, governmental, quasi-governmental, regulatory body, court or agent that has the effect of making unlawful, void or unenforceable or otherwise prohibiting or restricting the H Share Offer (including its implementation) or imposing any material conditions or obligations with respect to the H Share Offer (including its implementation) (other than such action, decision, order, proceeding, enquiry or investigation as would not have a material adverse effect on the legal ability of China Huaneng to proceed with or consummate the H Share Offer);

  6. the filing of NDRC and MOFCOM and the registration of SAFE, in relation to the H Share Offer having been completed and remaining in full force and effect pursuant to the provisions of relevant laws and regulations in the PRC.

All the issued Domestic Shares are held by China Huaneng and Huaneng Capital (being a party acting in concert with China Huaneng), and therefore no class meeting of Domestic Shareholders will be convened for the purpose of approving the Delisting and the Domestic Shareholders are not entitled to vote in the Extraordinary General Meeting to be convened for approving the Delisting.

The 33,268,000 H Shares held by Huaneng No. 1 Fund and the 904,000 H Shares held by members of the CLSA Group will not be considered as H Shares held by the Independent H Shareholders for the purpose of Condition (c) set out above.

- 14 -

LETTER FROM CLSA LIMITED

All Conditions are incapable of being waived. After consulting its legal advisors, China Huaneng is not aware of any necessary authorisations, consents and approvals of any governmental or regulatory body required in relation to the H Share Offer at the date of this Composite Document, save as disclosed in Conditions (f) and (g) above. China Huaneng has submitted the application for the filing of NDRC and MOFCOM and will submit the application for SAFE registration after the filing of NDRC and MOFCOM is completed. Save for Condition (e) above, no Conditions have been satisfied at the date of this Composite Document.

According to the applicable PRC laws and regulations, the H Share Offer requires the filing of NDRC and MOFCOM and the registration of SAFE, and such regulatory requirements shall be complied with, irrespective of the funding arrangement mentioned in the paragraph headed "Confirmation of financial resources in respect of the H Share Offer" of this Composite Document. According to the applicable PRC laws and regulations, each of the filing of NDRC and MOFCOM and the registration of SAFE is required to be completed prior to the completion of the H Share Offer.

Pursuant to Note 2 to Rule 30.1 of the Takeovers Code, China Huaneng will not invoke any of the conditions above so as to cause the H Share Offer to lapse unless the circumstances which give rise to a right to invoke the condition are of material significance to China Huaneng in the context of the H Share Offer. Except with the consent of the Executive, if any of the Conditions is not satisfied within 21 days of the First Closing Date or the date the H Share Offer becomes or is declared unconditional as to acceptances, whichever is the later, the H Share Offer will lapse.

The Huaneng Renewables Board confirms that as at the Latest Practicable Date, no third party consent in relation to the H Share Offer is required pursuant to any agreement to which any member of the Huaneng Renewables Group is a party.

In addition to the Conditions set out above, the H Share Offer is made on the basis that acceptance of the H Share Offer by any person will constitute a warranty by such person or persons to China Huaneng that the H Shares acquired under the H Share Offer are sold by such person or persons free from all third party rights, liens, charges, equities, adverse interests and encumbrances whatsoever and together with all rights attaching thereto as at the date of the Rule 3.5 Announcement or subsequently becoming attached to them, and including the right to receive all dividends (whether final or interim) and other distributions, if any, declared, and where the record date for such entitlement is on or after the date of the Rule 3.5 Announcement.

As of the Latest Practicable Date, Huaneng Renewables has not declared any dividends, the record date of which falls on or after the date of the Rule 3.5 Announcement. Huaneng Renewables does not have any intention to declare, make or pay any future dividends or make other distributions until the Closing Date.

The H Share Offer will be made in compliance with the Takeovers Code, which is administered by the Executive.

The latest time on which China Huaneng can declare the H Share Offer unconditional as to acceptances is 7:00 p.m. on the 60th day after the posting of the Composite Document (or such later date to which the Executive may consent). If the H Share Offer becomes or is declared unconditional in all respects,

- 15 -

LETTER FROM CLSA LIMITED

the H Share Offer should remain open for acceptance for not less than 28 days in compliance with the note to Rule 2.2 and Rule 15.3 of the Takeovers Code, and H Shareholders will be notified as soon as possible by way of an announcement in accordance with the Takeovers Code and the Listing Rules.

Completion of the H Share Offer

Except with the consent of the Executive, if any of the Conditions is not satisfied within 21 days of the First Closing Date or the date the H Share Offer becomes or is declared unconditional as to acceptances, whichever is the later, the H Share Offer will lapse.

China Huaneng and Huaneng Renewables will issue an announcement in relation to the extension or lapse of the H Share Offer or the fulfilment of the Conditions in accordance with the Takeovers Code and the Listing Rules. The latest time on which China Huaneng can declare the H Share Offer unconditional as to acceptance is 7:00 p.m. on the 60th day after the posting of the Composite Document (or such later date to which the Executive may consent).

WARNING

The Independent H Shareholders are reminded that if they do not accept the H Share Offer and the H Share Offer subsequently becomes unconditional in all respects and the H Shares are delisted from the Stock Exchange, this will result in the Independent H Shareholders holding securities that are not listed on the Stock Exchange and the liquidity of the H Shares may be severely reduced.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE H SHARE OFFER AND THE DELISTING

For Huaneng Renewables to deliver long-term growth and remain competitive, continuous equity fund raising is crucial. Since and including its initial public offering in 2011, Huaneng Renewables has conducted equity fund raising for a total of HK$12.131 billion. But pursuant to Opinions on Standardisation of the Work Relating to the Reconstructing of Statement-owned Enterprises (關於規範國有企業改制工作的意見) imposed by SASAC, Huaneng Renewables has not been able to raise additional funds in the equity capital markets since August 2018 when its Price-to-Book ratio fell below one. Given the loss of the ability to raise funds in the equity capital market, Huaneng Renewables being a public entity could no longer offer a viable source of funding to develop its businesses.

China Huaneng considers that the privatisation of Huaneng Renewables will assist business integration between China Huaneng and Huaneng Renewables, which will provide China Huaneng with greater flexibility and efficiency to support the future business development of Huaneng Renewables and to withstand any potential uncertainties from the perspectives of market competition, macro environment and sector regulation.

During the Disclosure Period, the highest closing price of the H Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange was HK$3.01 on 24 October 2019, 30 October 2019 and 5 November 2019, and the lowest closing price of the H Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange was HK$1.92 on 20 May 2019 and 14 August 2019. In addition, the historically highest closing price of the H Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange from 30 August 2018 to 29 August 2019 (being the last trading day prior to the publication of the Rule 3.7 Announcement) was HK$2.55 per H Share on 12 March 2019. China Huaneng believes that the

- 16 -

LETTER FROM CLSA LIMITED

price for the H Share Offer represents a premium to the price at which the market had valued Huaneng Renewables and had reflected the potential value of the development of the business of Huaneng Renewables in the next few years under its current state and provides an opportunity for the H Shareholders to immediately realise their investments. The H Share Offer therefore allows the H Shareholders to redeploy capital from accepting the H Share Offer into other investment opportunities that they may consider more attractive in the current market environment.

INTENTION IN RELATION TO HUANENG RENEWABLES

If the H Share Offer is completed, China Huaneng intends that Huaneng Renewables will continue to carry on its existing business and, save for transactions in the ordinary course of business, does not expect there to be a redeployment of the fixed assets of Huaneng Renewables. Under current market conditions, China Huaneng has no plans to effect any redundancies in respect of the employees of Huaneng Renewables Group (other than in the ordinary course of business).

Delisting

Upon the H Share Offer becoming unconditional, Huaneng Renewables will make an application for the Delisting in accordance with Rule 6.12 of the Listing Rules. The H Shareholders will be notified by way of an announcement of the dates of the last day for dealing in the H Shares and on which the Delisting will become effective.

Voluntary Withdrawal of Listing of the H Shares

China Huaneng has no right under the laws of the PRC and Huaneng Renewables' Articles to compulsorily acquire the H Shares that are not tendered for acceptance pursuant to the H Share Offer. China Huaneng has applied to the Executive for, and the Executive has granted, a waiver from the requirements under Rule 2.2(c) of the Takeovers Code, which requires a resolution of the independent shareholders to approve a delisting to be made subject to the offeror(s) being entitled to exercise, and exercising, its/their rights of compulsory acquisition requirements.

Accordingly, the Independent H Shareholders are reminded that if they do not accept the H Share Offer and the H Share Offer subsequently becomes unconditional in all respects and the H Shares are delisted from the Stock Exchange, this will result in the Independent H Shareholders holding securities that are not listed on the Stock Exchange and the liquidity of the H Shares may be severely reduced. In addition, Huaneng Renewables may or may not continue to be subject to the Takeovers Code after the completion of the H Share Offer depending on whether Huaneng Renewables remains as a public company thereafter.

Once all of the Conditions have been satisfied, the H Share Offer will be declared unconditional in all respects and the H Share Offer should remain open for acceptance for not less than 28 days in compliance with the note to Rule 2.2 and Rule 15.3 of the Takeovers Code before the H Share Offer is closed in order to allow sufficient time for those H Shareholders who have not initially accepted the H Share Offer to accept the H Share Offer or to process the transfer of their H Shares.

CONFIRMATION OF FINANCIAL RESOURCES IN RESPECT OF THE H SHARE OFFER

China Huaneng intends to satisfy the consideration required and the buyer's ad valorem stamp duty for the H Share Offer by cash from a loan facility in a maximum amount of up to HK$17.2 billion provided by the Bank of China (Hong Kong) Limited and Bank of China Limited Macau Branch to China Huaneng's wholly-owned subsidiary.

Your attention is drawn to Appendices II and V to this Composite Document which contain further financial and general information of the Huaneng Renewables Group.

INFORMATION OF CHINA HUANENG

Your attention is drawn to the section headed "Information and Principal Business of China Huaneng" in the "Letter from CLSA Limited" as set out in this Composite Document.

CHINA HUANENG'S INTENTION IN RELATION TO HUANENG RENEWABLES

Please refer to the section headed "Intention in relation to Huaneng Renewables" in the "Letter from CLSA Limited" as set out in this Composite Document for detailed information on China Huaneng's intention on the business and management of the Huaneng Renewables Group. The Huaneng Renewables Board acknowledged and accepted such intention, and is willing to render reasonable cooperation with China Huaneng.

Voluntary Withdrawal of Listing of the H Shares

China Huaneng has no rights under the laws of the PRC and Huaneng Renewables' Articles to compulsorily acquire the H Shares that are not tendered for acceptance pursuant to the H Share Offer. China Huaneng has applied to the Executive for, and the Executive has granted, a waiver from the requirements under Rule 2.2(c) of the Takeovers Code, which requires a resolution of the independent shareholders to approve a delisting to be made subject to the offeror(s) being entitled to exercise, and exercising, its/their rights of compulsory acquisition requirements.

Upon the H Share Offer becoming unconditional, Huaneng Renewables will make an application for the voluntary withdrawal of the listing of the H Shares on the Stock Exchange in accordance with Rule 6.12 of the Listing Rules.

Accordingly, the Independent H Shareholders are reminded that if they do not accept the H Share Offer and the H Share Offer subsequently becomes unconditional in all respects and the H Shares are delisted from the Stock Exchange, this will result in the Independent H Shareholders holding securities that are not listed on the Stock Exchange and the liquidity of the H Shares may be severely reduced. In addition, Huaneng Renewables may or may not continue to be subject to the Takeovers Code after the completion of the H Share Offer depending on whether Huaneng Renewables remains as a public company thereafter.

The Shareholders will be notified by way of an announcement of the dates of the last day for dealing in the H Shares and on which the voluntary withdrawal of the listing of the H Shares on the Stock Exchange will become effective.

- 28 -

LETTER FROM THE HUANENG RENEWABLES BOARD

Once all of the Conditions have been satisfied, the H Share Offer will be declared unconditional in all respects and the H Share Offer should remain open for acceptance for not less than 28 days in compliance with the note to Rule 2.2 and Rule 15.3 of the Takeovers Code before the H Share Offer is closed in order to allow sufficient time for those H Shareholders who have not initially accepted the H Share Offer to accept the H Share Offer or to process the transfer of their H Shares.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST

Mr. Wang Kui, Mr. Dai Xinmin and Mr. Zhai Ji, who are all non-executive directors of Huaneng Renewables, hold certain positions in China Huaneng. Save for their positions in China Huaneng, they were not interested in any shares in Huaneng Renewables or any convertible securities, warrants, options or derivatives in respect of the shares in Huaneng Renewables. Accordingly, they were not considered to have any conflict of interest in respect of the H Share Offer and the Delisting.

THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING AND THE H SHARE CLASS MEETING

The Extraordinary General Meeting will be convened to approve the Delisting at 9:30 a.m. on Monday, 6 January 2020 and the H Share Class Meeting will be convened to approve the Delisting at 10:00 a.m. on Monday, 6 January 2020, respectively. A notice of the Extraordinary General Meeting is set out in Appendix VI to this Composite Document. A notice of the H Share Class Meeting is set out in Appendix VII to this Composite Document.

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In arriving at our opinion in respect of the H Share Offer and the Delisting, we have taken into consideration the following principal factors and reasons:

  1. Background and terms of the H Share Offer and the Delisting

In addition to the Conditions set out under the section headed "Conditions of the H Share Offer" in the "Letter from CLSA Limited" in the Composite Document, the H Share Offer is made on the basis that acceptance of the H Share Offer by any person will constitute a warranty by such person or persons to China Huaneng that the H Shares acquired under the H Share Offer are sold by such person or persons free from all third party rights, liens, charges, equities, adverse interests and encumbrances whatsoever and together with all rights attaching thereto as at the date of the Rule 3.5 Announcement or subsequently becoming attached to them, and including the right to receive all dividends (whether final or interim) and other distributions, if any, declared and where the record date for such entitlement is on or after the date of the Rule 3.5 Announcement.

As illustrated in the above table, the Huaneng Renewables Group's revenue and net profit attributable to equity shareholders of Huaneng Renewables for the year ended 31 December 2018 ("FY2018") increased by approximately 10.38% and 2.48% as compared to those for the year ended 31 December 2017 ("FY2017") respectively. With reference to the 2018 Annual Report and as confirmed by the Directors, the change in the Huaneng Renewables Group's revenue was primarily due to the fact that the power sold by the Huaneng Renewables Group (in volume) in FY2018 increased by approximately 11.2% as compared to that in FY2017, slightly offset by a decrease of approximately 1.2% in the on-grid tariff (tax inclusive) of the Huaneng Renewables Group in FY2018 as compared to that in FY2017.

The Huaneng Renewables Group recorded operating profit of approximately RMB5.90 billion for FY2018, representing an increase of approximately 4.33% as compared to that for FY2017. The operating profit margin (i.e. operating profit/revenue) was approximately 50.6%, representing a decrease from approximately 53.5% for FY2017.

As illustrated in the above table, the Huaneng Renewables Group's revenue and profit attributable to owners of Huaneng Renewables for the six months ended 30 June 2019 ("1H2019") also increased by approximately 13.00% and 31.70% as compared to the corresponding period in 2018 ("1H2018"). With reference to the 2019 Interim Report and as confirmed by the Directors, the change in the Huaneng Renewables Group's revenue was primarily due to the fact that the power sold by the Huaneng Renewables Group (in volume) for 1H2019 increased by approximately 11.5% as compared to that for 1H2018, slightly offset by a decrease of approximately 0.5% in the on-grid tariff (tax inclusive) of the Huaneng Renewables Group in 1H2019 as compared to that in 1H2018.

We noted that the Huaneng Renewables Group's revenue increased by approximately 89.40% from the year ended 31 December 2014 ("FY2014") to FY2018 (or approximately 19.60%, 25.58%, 14.24% and 10.38% for each financial year during FY2014 to FY2018, which were mainly due to the increase in power sold by Huaneng Renewables Group (in volume) for the year as compared to that for the previous year) and Huaneng Renewables Group's net profit attributable to equity shareholders of Huaneng Renewables increased by approximately 175.32% from FY2014 to FY2018 (or approximately 65.88%, 42.98%, 13.27% and 2.48% for each financial year during FY2014 to FY2018, which were mainly due to the increase in revenue for the year as compared to that for the previous year).

Based on 4,192,684,992 H Shares in issue, 5,535,311,200 Domestic Shares in issue and the closing price of HK$2.51 as at 31 December 2014, Huaneng Renewables had a market capitalization of HK$24.42 billion. Based on 5,031,220,992 H Shares in issue, 5,535,311,200 Domestic Shares in issue and the closing price of HK$2.67 as at the Last Trading Day, Huaneng Renewables had a market capitalization of HK$28.21 billion. Despite the growth in the Huaneng Renewables Group's business (in terms of increase in revenue and net profit attributable to equity shareholders of Huaneng Renewables) from FY2014 to FY2018, the market value of Huaneng Renewables (in terms of Huaneng Renewables' market capitalization) only increased by approximately 15.52% (the "Historical Market Value Increase") (or approximately -7.58%, 8.60%, 14.24% and -20.75% by comparing Huaneng Renewables' market capitalization as at the last trading day of the year with that as at the last trading day of the previous year during FY2014 to FY2018) from 31 December 2014 to the Last Trading Day. The Historical Market Value Increase could not reflect Huaneng Renewables Group's business growth from FY2014 to FY2018. Based on the closing price of HK$2.51 per H Share as at 31 December 2014 and the dividend entitlements for FY2014 to FY2018, the total dividend yield for the period was approximately 8.37% (the "Historical Total Dividend Yield"). The Historical Market Value Increase, together with the Historical Total Dividend Yield, were much lower than the growth rates of the Huaneng Renewables Group's revenue and net profit attributable to equity shareholders of Huaneng Renewables.

Under this circumstance, the Directors advised us that based on their

- 40 -

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

understanding of capital market and communications with institutional investors and research analysts, the following factors might cause the Historical Market Value Increase not reflecting Huaneng Renewables Group's business growth from FY2014 to FY2018:

  1. concern on increase in outstanding tariff premium (i.e. subsidy) to be received for the wind power business in recent years (Huaneng Renewables' trade debtors and bills receivable amounted to approximately RMB3.2 billion as at 31 December 2014, RMB2.9 billion as at 31 December 2015, RMB4.6 billion as at 31 December 2016, RMB7.2 billion as at 31 December 2017, RMB10.0 billion as at 31 December 2018 and RMB13.8 billion as at 30 June 2019, including receivables of approximately RMB2.4 billion as at 31 December 2014, RMB2.3 billion as at 31 December 2015, RMB3.9 billion as at 31 December 2016, RMB6.2 billion as at 31 December 2017, RMB8.7 billion as at 31 December 2018 and RMB12.3 billion as at 30 June 2019 arising from outstanding tariff premium. Days of sales outstanding (calculated by average receivables arising from outstanding tariff premium / revenue x 365) were approximately 116 days for 2015, 123 days for 2016, 174 days for 2017 and 232 days for 2018. The settlement period of outstanding tariff premium became much longer since 2015); and
  2. concern on issue/possible issue of wind power policies by relevant PRC government authorities (e.g. NDRC and National Energy Administration) for the purpose of wind power industry's improvement and continuous development, which (e. g. the adjustment of on-grid tariff and the adjustment of subsidy mechanism) may affect the Huaneng Renewables Group's operation.

Save as the above mentioned factors (the "Factors"), the Directors could not identify any specific factor which caused the Historical Market Value Increase not reflecting Huaneng Renewables Group's business growth from FY2014 to FY2018.

As further advised by the Directors, it is uncertain as to whether and when the influence of the Factors will end given that (i) the settlement of outstanding tariff premium (i.e. subsidy) is subject to the schedule of relevant PRC government authorities (e. g. NDRC, National Energy Administration and Ministry of Finance of the PRC); and (ii) relevant PRC government authorities may issue new or adjust existing wind power policies from time to time and corresponding investors' perception on the same may vary from one another.

With reference to the section headed "MATERIAL CHANGE" in Appendix II to the Composite Document, the Huaneng Renewables Group's profit attributable to owners of Huaneng Renewables for the nine months ended 30 September 2019 substantially increased as compared to that for the corresponding period in 2018. The abovementioned increase was mainly due to the increase in the Huaneng Renewables Group's revenue for the nine months ended 30 September 2019 as the result of the increase in power sold of the Huaneng Renewables Group during the same period. Despite the said growth of the Huaneng Renewables Group's profit attributable to owners of Huaneng Renewables for the nine months ended 30 September 2019 and Huaneng Renewables Group's full-year net profit attributable to equity shareholders of Huaneng Renewables from FY2014 to FY2018 as mentioned in above paragraph, it is uncertain as to whether such growth will be reflected in the future market price of the H Shares in view of the historical price performance of the H Shares (i.e. Huaneng Renewables' market capitalization only increased by approximately 15.52% from 31 December 2014 to the Last Trading Day).

- 41 -

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

In summary:

    1. Under the circumstance that there was no significant variation between (a) the trend of Hang Seng Index (which reflected the general market trend of Hong Kong stock market) and the trend of H Share closing prices; and (b) the trend of Hang Seng Composite MidCap Index (Huaneng Renewables is a constituent of this index) and the trend of H Share closing prices during most of the period from 1 January 2014 up to the Latest Practicable Date, the Historical Market Value Increase could not reflect Huaneng Renewables Group's business growth from FY2014 to FY2018. Save as the Factors, the Directors could not identify any specific factor which caused the above circumstance and it is uncertain as to whether and when the influence of the Factors will end.
    2. The H Shares' investment return (through share price appreciation and/or dividend entitlement) was at a rate much lower than the Huaneng Renewables Group's business growth from FY2014 to FY2018.
  1. Information on China Huaneng

Set out below are information on China Huaneng as extracted from "Letter from CLSA Limited" in the Composite Document:

China Huaneng is a key state-owned enterprise established with the approval of the State Council. Established in 1985, China Huaneng is an integrated energy company primarily focused on power generation. China Huaneng had total installed capacity of over 176GW by the end of 2018, with over 59GW of clean and low-carbon installed capacity. China Huaneng is also engaged in the sectors of coal production, finance, technology research and development, transportation and technical retrofit engineering service, etc. that support the core business of power generation. China Huaneng was the first Chinese power producer to join the ranks of Fortune 500 Companies, ranking 289th in 2018.

  1. Intention in relation to Huaneng Renewables

Set out below are China Huaneng's intention in relation to Huaneng Renewables as extracted from "Letter from CLSA Limited" in the Composite Document:

If the H Share Offer is completed, China Huaneng intends that Huaneng Renewables will continue to carry on its existing business and, save for transactions in the ordinary course of business, does not expect there to be a redeployment of the fixed assets of Huaneng Renewables. Under current market conditions, China Huaneng has no plans to effect any redundancies in respect of the employees of Huaneng Renewables Group (other than in the ordinary course of business).

Delisting

Upon the H Share Offer becoming unconditional, Huaneng Renewables will make an application for the Delisting in accordance with Rule 6.12 of the Listing Rules.

- 42 -

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

No Right of Compulsory Acquisition

China Huaneng has no rights under the laws of the PRC and Huaneng Renewables' Articles to compulsorily acquire the H Shares that are not tendered for acceptance pursuant to the H Share Offer. Accordingly, Independent H Shareholders are reminded that if they do not accept the H Share Offer and the H Share Offer subsequently becomes unconditional in all respects and the H Shares are delisted from the Stock Exchange, this will result in the Independent H Shareholders holding securities that are not listed on the Stock Exchange and the liquidity of the H Shares may be severely reduced. In addition, Huaneng Renewables may or may not continue to be subject to the Takeovers Code after the completion of the H Share Offer depending on whether Huaneng Renewables remains as a public company thereafter.

  1. Reasons for and benefits of the H Share Offer and the Delisting
    1. A good opportunity for Independent H Shareholders to realise their investment for a premium

With reference to "Letter from CLSA Limited" in the Composite Document, China Huaneng believes that the H Share Offer provides an opportunity for the H Shareholders to immediately realise their investments.

For Independent H Shareholders' information purpose, the H Share Offer Price of HK$3.17 represents premiums over recent closing prices of H Share, details of which are disclosed under the section headed "The H Share Offer Price comparison" in this letter.

  1. Difficulty for Huaneng Renewables to raise funds

Pursuant to《關於規範國有企業改制工作的意見》(Opinions on Standardization of the Work Relating to the Reconstructing of State-owned Enterprises*issued by SASAC in November 2003, the determination of transfer price of state-owned shares of listed companies should be subject to the listed companies' profitability and market performance and such price should not be less than the net asset value per share. Based on the Directors' understanding, if Huaneng Renewables (being a listed subsidiary of China Huaneng (a state-owned enterprise)) conducted fund raising activity by way of issuing new H Shares at an issue price being lower than its net asset value per share, the shareholding interest of China Huaneng (a state-owned enterprise) in Huaneng Renewables would be diluted at a price lower than the net asset value per Share of Huaneng Renewables, violating the Opinions on Standardization of the Work Relating to the Reconstructing of State-owned Enterprises.

Having considered that (i) Price-to-Book ratio of Huaneng Renewables fell below one, indicating that the market price of H Share being less than net asset value per Share; (ii) Huaneng Renewables could only issue new H Shares with the issue price higher than its net asset value per Share; and (iii) it would normally be unattractive to investors if the issue price of new H Shares being higher than the market price of H Share, the Directors are of the view that it would be impracticable for Huaneng Renewables to raise additional funds by way of issuing new H Shares under the current circumstances (i.e. Price-to-Book ratio fell below one since August 2018).

- 43 -

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

We noted that Huaneng Renewables' historical Price-to-Book ratio (calculated based on Huaneng Renewables' consolidated net asset value per Share as at corresponding year end/period end and H Share daily closing price) was above one in 1,470 trading days out of 1,758 trading days during the period from the date of its listing (i.e. 10 June 2011) to 31 July 2018. After August 2018, Huaneng Renewables' historical Price-to-Book ratio had been below one up to the Latest Practicable Date.

  1. To facilitate a shift in strategy towards possible risks

According to data published by China Electricity Council (which was founded in 1988 with the approval of the State Council of the PRC and is a non-profit and self-disciplinary national trade association joined by the PRC's power enterprises and institutions on a voluntary basis), the PRC's national power consumption for the first eight months of 2019 increased by approximately 4.4% as compared to that for the corresponding period in 2018. The growth rate of national power consumption for the first eight months of 2019 (i.e. approximately 4.4%) was approximately 4.6 percentage points lower than that of the corresponding period in 2018.

The power generation by power plants above designated size in the PRC for the first eight months of 2019 increased by approximately 2.8% as compared to that for the corresponding period in 2018. Such growth rate was approximately 4.9 percentage points lower than that of the corresponding period in 2018. The nationwide wind power generation amounted to 265.1 billion kWh for the first eight months of 2019, representing a year-on-year increase of 10.4%, but such growth rate represented approximately 15.3 percentage points lower than that of the same period last year. The national average utilization hours of wind power reached 1,388 hours for the first eight months of 2019, representing a year-on-year decrease of 24 hours.

As advised by the Directors:

  • The development of wind power and solar power companies closely relates to the state policy, regulations and the incentive schemes. Considering the recent policies released by government to speed up the reduction of subsidies (e.g.《關於積極推進風電、光伏 發電無補貼平價上網有關工作的通知》(the Notice on Active Promotion of the Work on Grid Parity of Wind Power and Photovoltaic Power without Subsidies*) and《關於完 善風電上網電價政策的通知》(the Notice on Improving Wind Power On-grid Tariff Policies*), there will be certain changes in the profit model of future projects of Huaneng Renewables (e.g. currently Huaneng Renewables are entitled to subsidies from sale of wind power; while from 1 January 2021, the newly approved onshore wind power projects will fully achieve grid parity and the State will no longer provide subsidies, therefore, the Huaneng Renewables Group may pay more attention to cost control, project selection, technology improvement, etc. for new wind power projects).
    As the State's requirements on eco-environmental protection becomes increasingly stringent, the difficulties in obtaining renewable power project approval and commencement of construction consequently increase (e.g. new red-lined ecological zones may overlap with project site and stringent approval procedures may also prolong project commencement).

- 44 -

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

  • Wind power and solar power generation are sensitive to climate changes. The total wind power and solar power resources in an area change every year, which is the key factor affecting the power generation in the area. Furthermore, wind farms are usually located in remote areas with adverse environment conditions and frequently occurring natural disasters. Extreme weather like freeze, typhoons, strong thunderstorm, tornadoes, poses great risks to the operation safety of the wind farm.
    For instance, during September 2019, the Huaneng Renewables Group recorded increase in power generation for 11 regions and decrease in power generation for five regions, as compared to those as recorded during August 2019. As advised by the Directors, the aforesaid changes were mainly due to the variation of wind resources.

With regard to the above-mentioned risk, Huaneng Renewables adopted various measures, such as adapting to the new situation and new requirements (e.g. Huaneng Renewables optimised the layout constantly, reducing the impact of variation of wind or solar resources, meanwhile, Huaneng Renewables shifted the focus of project development to regions with better grid access conditions), closely following the policy changes, innovating profit model for new situation through strengthening the leading role of science and technology (e.g. Huaneng Renewables Group promoted the implementation of a number of perspective scientific and technological projects and obtained intellectual properties during 1H2019) and cost controlling (e.g. Huaneng Renewables strengthened project cost control in the phases of design, tendering and construction during 1H2019), grasping market dynamics in real time, intensifying ecological protection, enhancing corporate competitiveness, striving all efforts for high-quality development, optimizing the layout of the Huaneng Renewables Group's projects, etc..

However, above-mentioned measures may affect Huaneng Renewables' short-term growth profile and result in the divergence between Huaneng Renewables' view on its long-term value on one hand, and investors' views on Huaneng Renewables' share price on the other hand. Following the implementation of the privatisation, Huaneng Renewables can make strategic decisions focused on long-term benefits, free from the pressure of market expectations, profit visibility and share price fluctuation associated with being a publicly listed company.

  1. Low liquidity of H Shares may continue to cause abnormal share price fluctuation

Based on our understanding, a low trading liquidity of the shares may normally make it difficult for listed issuer's shareholders to execute substantial on-market disposals without adversely affecting the price of the shares.

We therefore performed a trading liquidity analysis of the H Shares for the period from 1 September 2018, being approximately one year prior to the date of Rule 3.7 Announcement, up to and including the Latest Practicable Date (the "Review Period"). The number of trading days per month, the average daily number of the H Shares traded per month, and the respective percentages of the H

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

4. Trading in H Shares was halted with effect from 9:00 a.m. on 27 September 2019 and resumed at 9:00 a.m. on 4 October 2019.

As illustrated from the table above, the monthly average daily trading volume of the H Shares was thin during the Review Period. Before the publication of Rule 3.7 Announcement, the Average Volume of H Shares traded in each month during the entire Review Period was not higher than 0.5% of (i) the total number of existing H Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date; and (ii) the total number of issued H Shares held by the Independent H Shareholders as at the Latest Practicable Date.

In light of the above, we also consider that the trading liquidity of the H Shares is low and disposal of a large number of H Shares by Independent H Shareholders in the open market may have adverse impact on the price of H Shares.

  1. Cost reduction from the saving of cost of listing and cost of investor relations

As advised by the Directors, the Delisting would reduce the costs and management resources associated with the maintenance of Huaneng Renewables' listing status on the Stock Exchange, therefore the Delisting is expected to result in a more efficient and cost effective group structure and create more flexibility for the Huaneng Renewables Group to manage its business in an efficient and sustainable manner.

  1. The H Share Offer Price
    The H Share Offer Price comparison (Note)
    The H Share Offer Price of HK$3.17 per H Share represents:
    1. a premium of approximately 6.38% over the closing price of HK$2.98 per H Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date;
    2. a premium of approximately 46.08% over the closing price of HK$2.17 per H Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the last trading day prior to the publication of the Rule 3.7 Announcement (the "Initial Premium");
    3. a premium of approximately 18.73% over the closing price of HK$2.67 per H Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;
    4. a premium of approximately 50.95% over the average closing price of approximately HK$2.10 per H Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last 5 trading days immediately prior to and including the last trading day prior to the publication of the Rule 3.7 Announcement;
    5. a premium of approximately 55.39% over the average closing price of approximately HK$2.04 per H Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last 30 trading days immediately prior to and including the last trading day prior to the publication of the Rule 3.7 Announcement (the "30-daysPremium");

  1. a premium of approximately 50.95% over the average closing price of approximately HK$2.10 per H Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last 60 trading days immediately prior to and including the last trading day prior to the publication of the Rule 3.7 Announcement;
  2. a premium of approximately 50.95% over the average closing price of approximately HK$2.10 per H Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last 90 trading days immediately prior to and including the last trading day prior to the publication of the Rule 3.7 Announcement;
  3. a premium of approximately 1.28% to the unaudited consolidated net asset value per Share attributable to equity shareholders of Huaneng Renewables as at 30 June 2019 of approximately HK$3.13 based on the exchange rate of RMB1:HK$1.10;
  4. a discount of approximately 1.55% (the "NAV Discount") to the unaudited consolidated net asset value per Share in Huaneng Renewables as at 30 June 2019 of approximately HK$3.22 based on the exchange rate of RMB1:HK$1.10; and
  5. a premium of approximately 7.82% over the audited consolidated net asset value per Share in Huaneng Renewables as at 31 December 2018 of approximately HK$2.94 based on the exchange rate of RMB1: HK$1.10.

Note: The percentages may be different to those set out in the section headed "Comparison of value" in the "Letter From CLSA Limited" due to rounding of numbers.

Save as the NAV Discount, the H Share Offer Price represents premiums to recent closing prices of H Shares and audited consolidated net asset value per Share in Huaneng Renewables as at 31 December 2018 and the unaudited consolidated net asset value per Share attributable to equity shareholders of Huaneng Renewables as at 30 June 2019.

Having considered that the closing prices per H Share during the Review Period were below (i) the H Share Offer Price; and (ii) the net asset value per Share of RMB2.92 (equivalent to approximately HK$3.22) as at 30 June 2019 (i.e. as compared with the NAV Discount, the closing prices per H Share during the Review Period represented deeper discount to the unaudited consolidated net asset value per Share as at 30 June 2019), we consider the NAV Discount to be acceptable.

Notes:

  1. Trading in H Shares was halted with effect from 9:00 a.m. on 30 August 2019 and resumed at 9:00 a.m. on 2 September 2019.
  2. Trading in H Shares was halted with effect from 9:00 a.m. on 27 September 2019 and resumed at 9:00 a.m. on 4 October 2019.

During the Review Period, the lowest and highest closing prices of the H Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange were HK$1.90 per H Share recorded on 29 October 2018 and 3 January 2019 and HK$3.01 per H Share recorded on 24 October 2019, 30 October 2019 and 5 November 2019. The H Share Offer Price is above the closing price of the H Shares during the whole Review Period.

After the closing price of H Share reached the highest point on 12 March 2019 during the period from 1 September 2018 to the last trading day prior to the date of Rule 3.7 Announcement, the closing price of H Share moved towards a slight decreasing trend. The closing price of H Shares increased substantially after its trading resumption on 2 September 2019. Thereafter, from the commencement of the Offer Period on 2 September 2019 to the Last Trading Day (the last full trading day in the H Shares immediately before the publication of the Rule 3.5 Announcement), the closing price of the H Shares fluctuated between HK$2.63 and HK$2.74.

- 49 -

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

After resumption of trading in H Shares on 4 October 2019 following the publication of the Rule 3.5 Announcement, the closing price of the H Shares increased substantially and stayed below H Share Offer Price up to the Latest Practicable Date.

As confirmed by the Directors, save for the release of the Rule 3.7 Announcement and the Rule 3.5 Announcement, the Directors are not aware of any specific event that caused the substantial increases in H Share closing prices immediately after the publication of Rule 3.7 Announcement and the Rule 3.5 Announcement respectively. Hence, we consider that the aforesaid increases in H Share closing prices reflected the market's reaction to the H Share Offer.

Comparison with other comparable companies

To further assess the fairness and reasonableness of the H Share offer Price, we performed the trading multiple analysis, including the price to earnings ratio ("PER") and price to book ratio ("PBR") as below, which are commonly used for trading price analysis. Given that property, plant and equipment, which are important for Huaneng Renewables Group's operation, forms substantial part of Huaneng Renewables Group's total assets, we also consider the PBR analysis to be appropriate. We searched for listed companies in Hong Kong (i) which are engaged in similar line of business as the Huaneng Renewables Group, being wind power generation and related businesses in the PRC (more than 50% of their turnover was derived from such continuing business based on their respective latest published financial information) for comparison; (ii) trading of shares of such listed companies were not halted/suspended for more than three months; and (iii) which recorded at least one full financial year figures after its listing. We consider that the comparability and relevancy are weak for companies which did not derive more than 50% of their turnover from wind power generation and related businesses in the PRC. We found five companies listed in Hong Kong which meet our selection criteria (the "Comparable Companies"), which are exhaustive.

Notes:

  1. The PERs of the Comparable Companies were calculated based on their respective latest published annual results and their respective closing prices as quoted on the Stock Exchange and total issued shares as at the Latest Practicable Date.
  2. The PBRs of the Comparable Companies were calculated based on their respective latest published annual results or interim results and their respective closing prices as quoted on the Stock Exchange and total issued shares as at the Latest Practicable Date.
  3. The company recorded loss for the year ended 31 December 2018.
  4. The implied PER of the H Share Offer was calculated based on the H Share Offer Price and the Huaneng Renewables Group's audited profit attributable to equity shareholders of Huaneng Renewables for 31 December 2018.
  5. The implied PBR of the H Share Offer was calculated based on the H Share offer Price and the Huaneng Renewables Group's net asset value attributable to equity shareholders of Huaneng Renewables as at 30 June 2019.

As depicted from the above table, the PERs of the Comparable Companies ranged from approximately 4.84 times to 7.82 times, with an average of approximately 6.39 times.

As also depicted from the above table, the PBRs of the Comparables Companies ranged from approximately 0.26 times to 0.83 times, with an average of approximately 0.52 times.

Given that the implied PER and PBR of the H Share Offer is approximately 9.91 times and

1.01 times, the implied PER and implied PBR of the H Share Offer are above the said PER range and PBR range of the Comparable Companies. Based on the above analysis, the H Share Offer Price is not under-priced as compared to the Comparable Companies from PER/PBR perspective.

Comparison with other privatisation transactions

To further assess the fairness and reasonableness of the H Share Offer Price, we searched for privatisation transactions (for our analysis purpose, we excluded privatisation proposals without cash consideration) as announced by Hong Kong mainboard listed companies from 1 September 2017 (being approximately two years prior to the Rule 3.7 Announcement date) up to the Latest Practicable Date. We found 16 privatisation cases which meet the aforesaid criteria for comparison (the "Privatisation Cases"), which are exhaustive.

Notes:

  1. The cancellation price was adjusted for dividend according to the scheme document dated 14 September 2018.
  2. The initial announcement was made pursuant to Rule 3.7 of the Takeovers Code.
  • The stock code was used before privatisation.

As depicted from the above table, the Initial Premium and the 30-days Premium fall within the relevant ranges of the Privatisation Cases and above the respective average. Therefore, we consider that the Initial Premium and the 30-days Premium are in line with market practice.

Conclusion on the H Share Offer Price

Taking into account that:

  1. the H Share offer Price is above the closing prices of the H Shares during the whole Review Period;
  2. the H Share Offer Price represents premiums over the consolidated net asset value per Share attributable to equity shareholders of Huaneng Renewables as at 30 June 2019 and as at 31 December 2018; and
  3. the trading liquidity of the H Shares is low and disposal of a large number of H Shares by Independent H Shareholders in the open market may have adverse impact on the price of H Shares,

we consider the H Share offer Price to be fair and reasonable and we are of the view that the H Share Offer provides an exit alternative for the Independent H Shareholders who would like to realise their investments in the H Shares.

RECOMMENDATION

In relation to the H Share Offer and the Delisting, having taken into consideration the principal factors and reasons as discussed above, in particular:

  1. Under the circumstance that there was no significant variation between (a) the trend of Hang Seng Index (which reflected the general market trend of Hong Kong stock market) and the trend of H Share closing prices; and (b) the trend of Hang Seng Composite MidCap Index (Huaneng Renewables is a constituent of this index) and the trend of H Share closing prices during most of the period from 1 January 2014 up to the Latest Practicable Date, the Historical Market Value Increase could not reflect Huaneng Renewables Group's business growth from FY2014 to FY2018. Save as the Factors, the Directors could not identify any specific factor which caused the above circumstance and it is uncertain as to whether and when the influence of the Factors will end. The H Shares' investment return (through share price appreciation and/

- 54 -

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

or dividend entitlement) was also at a rate much lower than the Huaneng Renewables Group's business growth from FY2014 to FY2018. In other words, the H Shares' investment return may not be satisfactory to the Independent H Shareholders before the Offer Period;

  1. the H Share Offer Price represents premiums over recent closing prices of H Share as disclosed under the section headed "The H Share Offer Price comparison" in this letter. As aforementioned, the substantial increases in H Share closing prices immediately after the publication of Rule 3.7 Announcement and the Rule 3.5 Announcement reflected the market's reaction to the H Share Offer. After considering the trend of the H Share closing prices before the Offer Period, there is no guarantee that the H Share price will sustain at a level close to the H Share Offer Price should the H Share Offer lapse. Having considered the aforesaid and taking into account factors (i) above, the H Share Offer represents a good opportunity for Independent H Shareholders to realise their investment for a premium;
  2. the low trading liquidity of the H Shares, which may normally make it difficult for listed issuer's shareholders to execute substantial on-market disposals without adversely affecting the price of the shares and also make it difficult for listed issuer's shareholders to dispose of a large number of shares when any event that has an adverse impact on the listed issuer's share price occurs. The H Share Offer (which is conditional upon, among other things, the passing of a resolution by the Independent H Shareholders approving the Delisting at the Extraordinary General Meeting and the H Share Class Meeting) provides an exit alternative for the Independent H Shareholders who would like to realise their investments in the H Shares;
  3. the H Share Offer Price being fair and reasonable as analysed under the section headed "The H Share Offer Price" above, summarised below are extracted from the aforesaid section for the Independent H Shareholders' easy reference;
    • the H Share offer Price is above the closing prices of the H Shares during the whole Review Period;
    • the H Share Offer Price represents premiums over the consolidated net asset value per Share attributable to equity shareholders of Huaneng Renewables as at 30 June 2019 and as at 31 December 2018; and
    • the trading liquidity of the H Shares is low and disposal of a large number of H Shares by Independent H Shareholders in the open market may have adverse impact on the price of H Shares,

we consider that the terms of the H Share Offer (including the H Share Offer Price) and the Delisting are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent H Shareholders are concerned. Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent H Shareholders to (i) accept the H Share Offer; and (ii) vote in favour of the Delisting resolutions at the H Share Class Meeting and the Extraordinary General Meeting respectively.

Those Independent H Shareholders may, having regard to their own circumstances, consider retaining all or any part of their H Shares (the "Retaining Shareholders").

- 55 -

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

China Huaneng has no rights under the laws of the PRC and Huaneng Renewables's Articles to compulsorily acquire the H Shares that are not tendered for the acceptance pursuant to the H Share Offer.

In the event that the Retaining Shareholders do not accept the H Share Offer and given that the Delisting shall take effect following the end of the Offer Period, (i) this will result in the Retaining Shareholders holding unlisted H Shares and the liquidity of the H Shares may be severely reduced; (ii) the rights/interests of the Retaining Shareholders will no longer be protected by the Listing Rules; and

  1. Huaneng Renewables may not continue to be subject to the Takeovers Code after the completion of the H Share Offer depending on whether it remains as a public company in Hong Kong and the rights/interests of the Retaining Shareholders may no longer be protected by the Takeovers Code.

The Independent H Shareholders should also monitor the H Share price closely, if the Independent H Shareholders decide to accept the H Share Offer but the proceeds of selling in the market (net of costs) would be higher than the net proceeds receivable under the H Share Offer, they should sell in the market instead. They should also keep in mind that, if applicable, dealings in the H Shares will be suspended from the day following the Final Closing Date up to the withdrawal of listing of the H Shares (if approved) from the Stock Exchange.

As different Independent H Shareholders would have different investment criteria, objectives and/or circumstances, we would recommend any Independent H Shareholders who may require advice in relation to any aspect of the Composite Document, or as to the action to be taken, to consult a licensed securities dealer, bank manager, solicitor, professional accountant, tax adviser or other professional adviser.

Yours faithfully,

For and on behalf of

Gram Capital Limited

Save as and except for the below, there was no material change in the financial or trading position or outlook of the Huaneng Renewables Group since 31 December 2018, being the date to which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Huaneng Renewables Group were made up, up to and including the Latest Practicable Date:

  1. the Huaneng Renewables Group's profit attributable to owners of Huaneng Renewables for the nine months ended 30 September 2019 (i.e. the Profit Estimate as defined on page II-5 of the Composite Document) substantially increased as compared to that for the corresponding period in 2018.
    The abovementioned increase was mainly due to the increase in the Huaneng Renewables Group's revenue for the nine months ended 30 September 2019 as the result of the increase in power sold of the Huaneng Renewables Group during the same period;
  2. the Huaneng Renewables Group's trade debtors and bills receivables as at 30 September 2019 substantially increased as compared to that as at 31 December 2018, which was mainly attributable to the outstanding tariff premium to be received for the wind power business; and
  3. the Huaneng Renewables shall carry out demolition of Company's Yuntai mountain wind farm and related vegetation restoration, details of which are set out in the Huaneng Renewables' announcement dated 30 September 2019.
    Huaneng Renewables expects the aforesaid demolition and related vegetation restoration might cause additional expenses to the Huaneng Renewables Group.

6. BASES OF PREPARATION

The Profit Estimate as referred to in this Composite Document was prepared based on the unaudited consolidated management accounts of Huaneng Renewables Group for the nine months ended 30 September 2019, which has been prepared on a basis consistent in all material respects with the accounting policies normally adopted by Huaneng Renewables Group as set out in the published annual report of Huaneng Renewables for the year ended 31 December 2018, except for certain new and amendments to IFRSs issued by the IASB which are applicable for Huaneng Renewables Group's annual period beginning on 1 January 2019.

No. 23A Fuxing Road

Haidian District, Beijing, the People's Republic of China

Dear Sirs,

Huaneng Renewables Corporation Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Group").

UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED NET PROFIT OF THE GROUP AND UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED PROFIT OF THE GROUP ATTRIBUTABLE TO OWNERS OF THE COMPANY FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2019 (COLLECTIVELY REFERRED TO AS THE "PROFIT ESTIMATE")

We refer to the Profit Estimate as set out in Appendix II.3 in the composite document jointly issued by China Huaneng Group Co., Ltd. ("China Huaneng") and the Company dated 21 November 2019 (the "Composite Document") in relation to the voluntary conditional offer to be made by CLSA Limited on behalf of China Huaneng to acquire all of the issued H Shares (as defined in the Composite Document) of the Company.

We have been advised by the directors of the Company that the Profit Estimate was prepared based on the unaudited consolidated management accounts of the Group for the nine months ended 30 September 2019, which had been prepared on a basis consistent in all material respects with the accounting policies normally adopted by the Group as set out in the published annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2018, except for certain new and amendments to International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the "IASB") which are applicable for the Group's annual period beginning on 1 January 2019.

The Profit Estimate is prepared by the directors of the Company and constitutes a profit forecast under Rule 10 of the Code on Takeovers and Mergers issued by The Securities and Futures Commission.

DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITY

The Profit Estimate has been prepared by the directors of the Company based on the unaudited consolidated management accounts of the Group for the nine months ended 30 September 2019.

APPENDIX III

REPORT FROM DELOITTE ON

THE PROFIT ESTIMATE

The directors of the Company are solely responsible for the Profit Estimate.

OUR INDEPENDENCE AND QUALITY CONTROL

We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the "Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants" issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the "HKICPA"), which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behavior.

Our firm applies Hong Kong Standard on Quality Control 1 "Quality Control for Firms that Perform Audits and Reviews of Financial Statements, and Other Assurance and Related Services Engagements" issued by the HKICPA and accordingly maintains a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS' RESPONSIBILITY

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the accounting policies and calculations of the Profit Estimate based on our procedures.

We conducted our engagement in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Investment Circular Reporting Engagements 500 "Reporting on Profit Forecasts, Statements of Sufficiency of Working Capital and Statements of Indebtedness" and with reference to Hong Kong Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000 (Revised) "Assurance Engagements Other Than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information" issued by the HKICPA. Those standards require that we plan and perform our work to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether, so far as the accounting policies and calculations are concerned, the Company's directors have properly compiled the Profit Estimate in accordance with the bases adopted by the directors of the Company and as to whether the Profit Estimate is presented on a basis consistent in all material respects with the accounting policies normally adopted by the Group. Our work is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the HKICPA. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

OPINION

In our opinion, so far as the accounting policies and calculations are concerned, the Profit Estimate has been properly compiled in accordance with the bases adopted by the directors of the Company as set out in the paragraph headed "Bases of preparation" in Appendix II.6 to the Composite Document and is presented on a basis consistent in all material respects with the accounting policies normally adopted by the Group as set out in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2018, except for certain new and amendments to IFRSs issued by the IASB which are applicable for the Group's annual period beginning on 1 January 2019.
