Reference is made to the announcements dated 1 April 2016 and 2 June 2016 respectively (collectively, the "Announcements") and the circular dated 15 April 2016 of Anhui Conch Cement Company Limited ("Company") in relation to, among other things, the payment of the final dividend of RMB0.43 per share (tax inclusive) ("Final Dividend") by the Company for the year ended 31 December 2015.

The payment of the Final Dividend was approved by the Shareholders at the 2015 annual general meeting of the Company. The Final Dividend will be distributed on 22 June 2016 to the Shareholders whose names appear on the register of members of A shares of the Company on 21 June 2016 and will be distributed on 28 June 2016 to those whose names appear on the register of members of H shares of the Company on 13 June 2016. The Final Dividend payable to holders of H shares shall be paid in Hong Kong dollar. The exchange rate to Hong Kong dollar to be adopted shall be the average median rates of the five business days preceding the date of declaration of such dividend (i.e. 2 June 2016, excluding the date thereof) as announced by the People's Bank of China (i.e. HK$1.00 to RMB 0.84587). As such, the dividend per H share is HK$0.50835(tax inclusive).

The Company has appointed Bank of China (Hong Kong) Trustees Limited as the receiving agent in Hong Kong ("Receiving Agent") and will pay to such Receiving Agent the Final Dividend declared for payment to holders of H shares. The Final Dividend is expected to be paid by the Receiving Agent on 28 June 2016 and relevant cheques will be despatched to holders of H shares entitled to receive such dividend by ordinary post at the recipient's own risk.

For mainland investors (including enterprises and individuals) investing in the H shares of the Company through the Southbound Trading Link ("Southbound Trading Investors"), in accordance with the Agreement on Distribution of Cash Dividends of

H Shares for Southbound Trading (港股通 H 股股票現金紅利派發協議) signed

between the Company and the Shanghai Branch of China Securities Depository and Clearing Corporation Limited ("CSDC"), CSDC, as the agent of Southbound Trading Investors, will receive in full the Final Dividend distributed by the Company and distribute the Final Dividend to the relevant Southbound Trading Investors through its depositary and clearing system. CSDC is expected to complete the distribution of the Final Dividend within three business days after 28 June 2016.

For individual holders of H shares who are Hong Kong or Macau residents or whose country of domicile is a country which has entered into a tax treaty with China stipulating a dividend tax rate of 10%, the Company will withhold and pay individual income tax at the rate of 10% on behalf of the individual holders of H shares in the distribution of dividend. The applicable tax rate for mainland individual investors who hold the Company's H shares through the Southbound Trading Link is 20%. No tax is withheld from dividend for corporate investors.

For non-resident individual Shareholders (non-Hong Kong or Macau residents) whose names appear on the register of members of H shares, the Company is required to follow the applicable tax laws and regulations as well as the guidance given by the PRC tax authorities and to withhold and pay (on behalf of such individual

Shareholders) individual income tax at the rate of up to 20%, depending on factors such as the country of domicile of such individual Shareholders, whether any tax treaty is made between such country of domicile and the PRC, and whether any dividend tax is imposed on the relevant individual Shareholders.
