3 July 2011 About the FTSE China Index Series The FTSE China Index Series (previously named FTSE Xinhua Index Series) is the leading index series designed to access investment opportunities for the Chinese market. The series covers various share classes, including A Shares, B Shares, H Shares, Red Chips and Hong Kong stocks, sized companies, sectors and themes, enabling investors to dissect the market for analysis and benchmarking purposes and to suit any domestic or international mandate. The indices are designed for use as performance benchmarks, and as the basis for derivative trading and index-tracking funds. Leading investment companies have launched exchange traded funds (ETFs), derivatives and other index-linked products on the FTSE China Index Series, which are available to investors across North America, Europe and Asia. The table below illustrates how the index family is structured under the FTSE China Index Series umbrella. The red shaded blocks indicate the tradeable indices and the grey shaded blocks indicate the benchmark indices. The index family is underpinned by the Industry Classification Benchmark (ICB) classification system, which is explained later in this Appendix.

6 FTSE China Index Series Review July 2011 Guiding principles for the FTSE China Index Series Transparency on all issues concerning the management of and changes to the FTSE China Index Series. Strict, widely published, rules-based methodology. Rules-driven, independent committee of market practitioners who oversee the indices. Committee decisions are made public in a timely manner to aid users of the indices. Eligible securities A, B, H and Red Chip share classes of securities listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange (main board), Shenzhen Stock Exchange (main board) or the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong (SEHK), are eligible for inclusion in the FTSE China Index Series. A security must meet the following criteria: Accurate and timely data and pricing information must be available. Adequate liquidity must exist (as ranked by its mediate daily trading per month). A minimum trading record of at least three trading months prior to the date of the review. Convertible preference shares and loan stocks will be excluded until converted into eligible equity shares. Securities designated Special Treatment will be eligible for inclusion. Equity Investment Trusts (companies with ICB (Industrial Classification Benchmark) subsector code of 8985) and Non-Equity Investment instruments (ICB subsector code 8995) will not be eligible for inclusion. Constituent classification Sector classifications for all FTSE index constituents, including the FTSE China A Index Series, are defined by the ICB classification system. The ICB sector designations are listed below, with further guidance provided on the website at Index review The index series is reviewed quarterly (or annually for some indices), with advance notification given of any changes to constituents via to ensure that indices continue to reflect market reality. Details of the committees governing the FTSE China Index Series are given later in this document. A schedule of periodic reviews is provided on Rules-based methodology As with all FTSE indices, the FTSE China Index Series is strictly rules-based to ensure consistency and transparency. The Ground Rules for index series are published as widely as possible to allow anyone tracking the index to anticipate changes and accurately replicate the index. A full set of the Ground Rules for the management of the FTSE China Index Series is available on Strict governance by committees of market practitioners The FTSE China Index series is managed and maintained by independent committees of market practitioners. Committee members are responsible for deciding the treatment of complex corporate actions, as well as any necessary changes to the Ground Rules. Practitioner committees are essential in ensuring that FTSE indices reflect and deal with current issues affecting international investors. A description of the responsibilities of each committee involved in the management of the FTSE China Index series is provided later in this section. Constituent selection Inclusion screens. To ensure the FTSE China Index Series is investable, eligible securities are subject to three screens: Accurate and reliable price exists for the purposes of determining the market value of a company. Securities comprising up to 98% of China s full market capitalisation are included. Securities must have a minimum 20 day trading record when reviewed. Liquidity screens - are based on the security s median daily trading per month on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges and Stock Exchange of Hong Kong (each daily trade total is ranked and the middle ranking day is selected). Daily totals with zero trades are included. Non-constituents must have a turnover of at least 0.05% of their shares in issue, based on their median daily trade per month in ten out of twelve months prior to a full market review, to be eligible for inclusion in the index series. An existing constituent must have a turnover of at least 0.04% of its shares in issue for at least eight of the twelve months prior to the full market review, to remain in the index. New issues must have a minimum three month trading record when reviewed and a turnover of at least 0.05% of their free float adjusted shares in each month since their listing. Free float. Constituents are adjusted for free float and weighted according to how much share capital is available for public investment. This achieves the most accurate and neutral market representation possible: meaning that only shares you can own are included in the index. FTSE has chosen to apply free float restrictions in weighted bands. The bands are narrow at the lower end of the scale where greater sensitivity is required for an accurate representation. At the higher end, broader bands are applied. With this methodology, the weightings of the larger companies do not fluctuate unless a significant corporate event has occurred. This process accurately reflects the investability of a company, without subjecting the investor to frequent rebalancing transactions associated with a precise free float methodology. Please refer to the more detailed notes on free float rules later in this section. Data on FTSE indices FTSE can supply daily updated data products giving constituent lists, index values and corporate actions for the FTSE China Index Series and its sub-indices. These products are available either direct from FTSE, or via all major data vendors. More details on how to access these products are available from FTSE. Closing end of day values for the FTSE China Index Series are available on along with the updated daily constituent lists for the China A50 (A share), China 25 (H and Red Chip) and China B 35 (B share) indices.

7 July 2011 Ground rules governing free float stock weightings in the FTSE China Index Series Constituent weightings used to calculate the FTSE China Index Series are adjusted to reflect available free float including cross-holdings and foreign ownership limits. Factors used to adjust each constituent weighting are given in the stock level reports in this document. Free float adjusted constituent weightings are known as investability weights. I. Free float restrictions include: a) corporate investments in an index constituent either by a public listed, or strategic holding company, private or non-listed subsidiary of a listed company, or a private company b) holdings by company directors, their families, companies majority owned by a director, or promotors c) employee share schemes or shares held by employee unions d) government holdings are not available for public investment and include government authorities, government controlled corporations, government owned corporations or government investment companies e) Non-negotiable/non-tradable shares f) shares subject to a lock in clause II. The following are not considered as restricted free float: a) institutional investments b) nominee holdings (including those supporting ADRs / GDRs), unless they represent restricted free float as defined by rule I above c) holdings by investment companies, funds and trusts d) quasi government unless greater than 10% e) holdings by private investors unless greater than 10% III. Bands for initial weightings free float restrictions will be calculated using available published information. The initial weighting of a constituent in the index will be applied in the following bands. a) free float less than or equal to 15% = see rule (V) below b) free float greater than 15% but less than or equal to 20% = 20% c) free float greater than 20% but less than or equal to 30% = 30% d) free float greater than 30% but less than or equal to 40% = 40% e) free float greater than 40% but less than or equal to 50% = 50% f) free float greater than 50% but less than or equal to 75% = 75% g) free float greater than 75% = 100% IV. FTSE China A Share companies that have a free float of 15% or less, the following table outlines their treatment in the index series. Note for FTSE China B Share and FTSE China 25 indices, free float 5%-15% must be greater than USD $2.5bn. Company Free Float Thresholds Market Size Requirements New index entrant Greater than 3% but equal or less than 15%. Full market capitalisation is greater than CNY 17 billion. Existing index constituent Greater than 3% but equal or less than 15%. Full market capitalisation is greater than CNY 10 billion. Existing index constituent Less than or equal to 3% are excluded. N/A V. The FTSE China Indices will be periodically reviewed for changes in free float. These reviews will coincide with the quarterly reviews undertaken by the FTSE Asia Pacific Regional Committee. VI. A constituent s free float will also be reviewed and adjusted if necessary following a corporate event. If the corporate event includes a corporate action which affects the index, any change in free float will be implemented at the same time as the corporate action. If there is no corporate action, the change in free float will be applied as soon as practicable after the event. All changes in a constituent s investability weight within the index are subject to rule (VII) below. VII. Following the application of an initial free float restriction, a constituent s free float will only be changed if its actual free float moves to more than 5 percentage points above the minimum or more than 5 percentage points below the maximum of an adjacent band. This 5 percentage points threshold does not apply if the change is greater than 10 percentage points for the bands between 20% and 50% and 25 percentage points for the bands between 50% and 100% or to the 15% limit in (IV).

8 FTSE China Index Series Review July 2011 The Industry Classification Benchmark (ICB) The primary purpose of the Industry Classification Benchmark (ICB) is to provide a service to investors in quoted equity securities by grouping companies within homogenous subsectors. Subsectors are grouped into Sectors and Sectors are aggregated into Supersectors, which are further aggregated into Industries. The ICB Advisory Board provides advice in the allocation of companies to their subsectors, as well as changes to the rules for classifying companies and changes in a company s classification. The basic information used for the classification of a company is the audited accounts and directors' report. Where a company carries on two or more classes of business that differ substantially from each other, the ICB Advisory Board bases its determinations on the accounting segmentation published in the audited accounts and directors report. A company will be allocated to the subsector whose definition most closely fits the source of revenue or where it constitutes a majority of the revenue. A full copy of the Ground Rules for the Industry Classification Benchmark classification system and detailed definitions of each classification designation are available from Industry Supersector Sector Subsector 0001 Oil & Gas 0500 Oil & Gas 0530 Oil & Gas Producers 0533 Exploration & Production 0537 Integrated Oil & Gas 0570 Oil Equipment, Services & Distribution 0573 Oil Equipment & Services 0577 Pipelines 0580 Alternative Energy 0583 Renewable Energy Equipment 0587 Alternative Fuels 1000 Basic Materials 1300 Chemicals 1350 Chemicals 1353 Commodity Chemicals 1357 Specialty Chemicals 1700 Basic Resources 1730 Forestry & Paper 1733 Forestry 1737 Paper 1750 Industrial Metals & Mining 1753 Aluminum 1755 Nonferrous Metals 1757 Iron & Steel 1770 Mining 1771 Coal 1773 Diamonds & Gemstones 1775 General Mining 1777 Gold Mining 1779 Platinum & Precious Metals 2000 Industrials 2300 Construction & Materials 2350 Construction & Materials 2353 Building Materials & Fixtures 2357 Heavy Construction 2700 Industrial Goods & Services 2710 Aerospace & Defense 2713 Aerospace 2717 Defense 2720 General Industrials 2723 Containers & Packaging 2727 Diversified Industrials 2730 Electronic & Electrical Equipment 2733 Electrical Components & Equipment 2737 Electronic Equipment 2750 Industrial Engineering 2753 Commercial Vehicles & Trucks 2757 Industrial Machinery 2770 Industrial Transportation 2771 Delivery Services 2773 Marine Transportation 2775 Railroads 2777 Transportation Services 2779 Trucking 2790 Support Services 2791 Business Support Services 2793 Business Training & Employment Agencies 2795 Financial Administration 2797 Industrial Suppliers 2799 Waste & Disposal Services 3000 Consumer Goods 3300 Automobiles & Parts 3350 Automobiles & Parts 3353 Automobiles 3355 Auto Parts 3357 Tires 3500 Food & Beverage 3530 Beverages 3533 Brewers 3535 Distillers & Vintners 3537 Soft Drinks 3570 Food Producers 3573 Farming & Fishing 3577 Food Products 3700 Personal & Household Goods 3720 Household Goods & Home 3722 Durable Household Products Construction 3724 Nondurable Household Products 3726 Furnishings 3728 Home Construction 3740 Leisure Goods 3743 Consumer Electronics 3745 Recreational Products A 8

Aggregate fundamental data ratios, except aggregate ROE, are calculated based on the sum of each individual constituent s market capitalisation (adjusted for free float) divided by: the sum of the product of market capitalisation (adjusted for free float) multiplied by the reciprocal of the valuation ratio for each constituent. Aggregate ROE is the sum of weighted ROE values. Weighting is based on average equity allocated to that security based on its index market capitalisation, proportionate to total company market capitalisation.

Val (th) (mn) Yield % Price/ Earnings Price/Book Value Price/Cash Earnings Price/ Sales Return on Equity (ROE) Stock yield on the report date. Price to Earnings (P/E) is price divided by earnings per share. Earnings are based on net income from continuing operations, before amortization of goodwill and extraordinary items and after tax, minority interests, preferred dividend, at fiscal year end. Earnings is attributed across the different share classes, where common stock is comprised of more than one share type. Price to Book (P/B) is price divided by book value per share. Book value is based on common equity, excluding minority interest and preferred stock at the most recent fiscal year end. Goodwill written off may also be added back. The divisor is company market capitalisation (issued shares x price) at the review date. Common equity is attributed across different share classes, where common stock is comprised of more then one share type. Price to Cash Earnings (P/CE) is Price divided by Cash Earnings per share. Cash Earnings is earnings plus depreciation, amortisation, deferred taxes, other noncash items, extraordinary items and changes in working capital for the most recent year. If Cash Flow is not reported it is estimated based on net income plus depreciation at year end. Cash earnings are attributed across the different share classes, where common stock is comprised of more then one share type. Price to Sales (P/S) is price divided by sales per share. It is based on Sales from continuing operations for the fiscal year. It is generally as reported but occasional adjustments may be made. Sales values are also computed for banks, insurance and other financial companies based on appropriate definitions. Sales is attributed across different share classes, where Common equity is comprised of more then one share type. Return on Equity (ROE) ratio is net income (as defined in Price/Earnings above) divided by average common equity. Common Equity is averaged over the accounting year. It may be adjusted to include goodwill written-off and is attributed across different share classes, where common stock is comprised of more then one share type. ROE is expressed as a percentage and is not calculated when average common equity is negative.

Appendices A 15 Capitalisation Weighted Index An index where the constituents effect on the index is weighted according to their market capitalisation. Fiscal Year End Free Float Factor Size Indicates the company s financial year-end date and is the date of the company s annual audited financial statements. The proportion of a stock s total market capitalisation to be included in the FTSE China Index. This is also known as the investability weight. Constituent s market capitalisation ranked by size: large cap, mid cap and small cap. Market Capitalisation Of a stock A at time T: Cap(A, T) = Price(A, T) * Shares(A, T) Of an index I at time T: Cap(I, T) = SUM( Cap(A,T) * Free Float(A, T)) for all stocks in the index (also known as market capitalisation).
