ANNOUNCEMENT
DECLARATION OF BUY-BACK ALTERNATIVE
Reference
is made to the announcement of China Eastern Airlines Corporation Limited (the
“Company”) dated 10 July
2009 in relation to, inter alia, the absorption of Shanghai Airlines and the
circular of the Company dated 25 August 2009 in relation to the absorption of
Shanghai Airlines (the ‘‘Circular’’). Terms used
herein shall have the same meanings as ascribed to them in the
Circular.
The
Company announces that, in order to be entitled to exercise the Buy-back
Alternative, a CEA Dissenting Shareholder shall continuously hold the Shares
representing the Effective Dissenting Votes until Monday, 11 January 2010. Any
CEA Dissenting Shareholder who intends to exercise the Buy-back Alternative
should declare the election during the period from Tuesday, 12 January 2010 to

or by fax to the board secretariat department of the Company at fax no: +86 21
6268 6116.
As stated
in the Circular, any investor whose H Shares are held by nominee or trustee (for
example, any H Shares held through CCASS operated by Hong Kong Securities
Clearing Company Limited by any CCASS broker/custodian participant) and has
requested such nominee or trustee to vote against the Absorption Proposal at the
EGM and desire to exercise the Buy-back Alternative, such investor should give
instructions and arrange with its nominee or trustee so that such nominee or
trustee can declare the election of the Buy-back Alternative during the
Declaring Period.
For those
CEA Dissenting Shareholders who, during the Declaring Period, fail to declare
the election or provide the necessary evidence to the satisfactory of the
Company evidencing that it is a CEA Dissenting Shareholder (including but not
limited to, share certificate evidencing that it holds the Shares representing
the Effective Dissenting Votes on the date of the EGM and the Buy-back
Alternative Exercise Day), the Buy-Back Alternative will not be available to
those Shareholders.
