plan on authorization of the board of directors to the president, the authorization limit of the board and the
president for external donations is CNY 100 million. If such limit is exceeded, it needs to be submitted to the board

This year, in order to continuously and comprehensively implement the national strategic arrangements on
comprehensively promoting rural revitalization, firmly perform material duties such as rural development, improve
rural infrastructure and rural governance and proactively fulfil the social responsibilities and commitments of a
major state-owned bank, application is made to increase the temporary authorization limit for external donations
by CNY 45 million, based on the bank's existing authorization amount (i.e. the limit for total external donations for
2023 be increased to CNY 145 million).
