Risk Disclosure: The following risk disclosure statements cannot disclose all the risks involved. This promotion material does not constitute any offer, solicitation, recommendation, comment or guarantee to the purchase, subscription or sale of any investment product or service. You should undertake your own research and study before your trade or invest. You should carefully consider whether trading or investment is suitable in light of your own financial position and investment objective. You are advised to seek independent financial and professional advice before you trade or invest. You should seek independent professional advice if you are uncertain of or have not understood any aspect of the following risk disclosure statements or the nature and risks involved in trading or investment. 1. Risk Disclosure of Securities Trading: Risk of Securities Trading The prices of securities fluctuate, sometimes dramatically. The price of a security may move up or down, and may become valueless. It is as likely that losses will be incurred rather than profit made as a result of buying and selling securities. Risk of Securities Margin Trading The risk of loss in financing a transaction by deposit of collateral is significant. You may sustain losses in excess of your cash and any other assets deposited as collateral with the licensed or registered person. Market conditions may make it impossible to execute contingent orders, such as "stop-loss" or "stop-limit" orders. You may be called upon at short notice to make additional margin or interest payments. If the required margin or interest payments are not made within the prescribed time, your collateral may be liquidated without your consent. Moreover, you will remain liable for any resulting deficit in your account and interest charged on your account. You should therefore carefully consider whether such a financing arrangement is suitable in light of your own financial position and investment objectives. 2. Risks of trading of listed RMB products: Investment / Market Risk Like any investments, RMB equity products are subject to investment risk. The price of the RMB equity products in the secondary market may move up or down. Losses may incur as a result of investing in the products even if the RMB appreciates against HKD or other currencies. Currency Risk If you are a non-mainland investor who holds a local currency other than RMB, you will be exposed to currency risk if you invest in RMB equity products. You will incur currency conversion costs, being the spread between buying and selling of RMB, at the time of conversion between your local currency and RMB for the purchase or sale of an RMB equity product. Even if the price of the RMB equity products you are holding remains unchanged, you may not receive the same amount of HKD when you sell the products due to the spread between buying and selling of RMB. RMB is a restricted currency and is subject to foreign exchange controls. Although the Central Government of the PRC has relaxed the restrictions by allowing banks in Hong Kong to conduct RMB business in a specified scope, RMB is still not freely convertible in Hong Kong. You may not be able to convert RMB at your preferred time and/or in
your preferred amount or conversion cannot be made, which may lead to investment losses. The policies of the Central Government of the PRC on foreign exchange control are subject to change, and your investment may be adversely affected. Exchange Rate Risk RMB equity products that are traded and settled in RMB are exposed to exchange rate risk. The fluctuation in the exchange rate of RMB may result in losses in the event that the customer converts RMB into HKD or other foreign currencies. Moreover there is no guarantee that RMB will not depreciate. Any devaluation of RMB could adversely affect the value of your investment in the RMB equity products. RMB equity products are not an investment instrument for speculating on RMB/HKD exchange rate movements. Default Risk & Credit Risk In general, RMB equity products are exposed to the usual kind of default risks that might be associated with equity products denominated in other currencies. The performance of RMB equity products is affected by the underlying business performance and a variety of other factors in connection with the issuers, and is subject to the credit risks associated with the special profile or special business strategy that the issuers may have. Emerging Market Risk RMB equity products associating with the market of the Mainland of China are particularly subject to risks that may arise from the relevant market/industry/sector and other factors such as change in government policies, taxation and political development in the Mainland. RMB Conversion Limitation Risk RMB investments are subject to exchange rate fluctuations which may provide both opportunities and risks. The fluctuation in the exchange rate of RMB may result in losses in the event that the customer converts RMB into HKD or other foreign currencies. RMB is currently not fully freely convertible. Individual customers can be offered CNH rate to conduct conversion of RMB through bank accounts and may occasionally not be able to do so fully or immediately, for which it is subject to the RMB position of BOCHKs and their commercial decisions at that moment. Customers should consider and understand the possible impact on their liquidity of RMB funds in advance. 3. Risk of trading A shares via Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect: Not protected by Investor Compensation Fund Investors should note that any Northbound trading under Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect will not be covered by Hong Kong s Investor Compensation Fund. Also, China Securities Investor Protection Fund will not protect any Northbound trading as well. Quotas used up When the respective aggregate quota balance for Northbound trading is less than the daily quota, the corresponding buy orders will be suspended on the next trading day (sell orders will still be accepted) until
the aggregate quota balance returns to the daily quota level. Once the daily quota is used up, acceptance of the corresponding buy orders will also be immediately suspended and no further buy orders will be accepted for the remainder of the day. Buy orders which have been accepted will not be affected by the using up of the daily quota, while sell orders will be continued to be accepted. Depending on the aggregate quota balance situation, buying services will be resumed on the following trading day. Trading day difference As mentioned above, Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect will only operate on days when both markets are open for trading and when banks in both markets are open on the corresponding settlement days. So it is possible that there are occasions when it is a normal trading day for the Mainland market but Hong Kong investors cannot carry out any A shares trading. Investors should take note of the days Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect is open for business and decide according to their own risk tolerance capability whether or not to take on the risk of price fluctuations in A shares during the time when Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect is not trading. Restrictions on selling imposed by front-end monitoring For investors who usually keep their A shares outside of their brokers, if they want to sell certain A shares they hold, they must transfer those A shares to the respective accounts of their brokers before the market opens on the day of selling (T day). If they fail to meet this deadline, they will not be able to sell those A shares on T day. The recalling of eligible stocks When a stock is recalled from the scope of eligible stocks for trading via Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect for above-mentioned reasons, the stock can only be sold but restricted from being bought. This may affect the investment portfolio or strategies of investors. Investors should therefore pay close attention to the list of eligible stocks as provided and renewed from time to time by both Exchange. Risks of client assets received or held outside Hong Kong Client assets received or held by the licensed or registered person outside Hong Kong are subject to the applicable laws and regulations of the relevant overseas jurisdiction which may be different from the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap.571) and the rules made thereunder. Consequently, such client assets may not enjoy the same protection as that conferred on client assets received or held in Hong Kong. You are advised to understand the relevant details, charges and important notes before investing in Shanghai A shares. For details, please visit website of BOCHK www.bochk.com (Securities Trading Services and "Important Notice of Trading Shanghai A Shares and A Shares Margin Trading via Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect") or contact BOCHK s staff. 4. Risk of Foreign Currency Trading: Foreign currency investments are subject to exchange rate fluctuations which may provide both opportunities and risks. The fluctuation in the exchange rate of foreign currency may result in losses in the
event that customer converts the foreign currency into Hong Kong dollar or other foreign currencies. RMB is currently not fully freely convertible. Individual customers can be offered CNH rate to conduct conversion of RMB through bank accounts and may occasionally not be able to do so fully or immediately, for which it is subject to the RMB position of BOCHKs and their commercial decisions at that moment. Customers should consider and understand the possible impact on their liquidity of RMB funds in advance. 5.
