In addition, the Company proposes to undertake to the holders of tradable shares of Shandong Aluminium: (1) not to trade or transfer any of the shares of Shandong Aluminium held by it within 12 months from the date of the completion of the Share Reform; (2) within 12 to 24 months of the implementation of the Share Reform, any disposal by way of sale through the stock exchange will not exceed 5% of the total share capital of Shandong Aluminium after the Share Reform; (3) within 12 to 36 months of the implementation of the Share Reform, any disposal by way of sale through the stock exchange will not exceed 10% of the total share capital of Shandong Aluminium after the Share Reform.
