Exhibit 1
The Report
On
the Offer to Acquire A Shares
Of
Jilin Chemical Industrial Company Limited
Name of the Offeror: PetroChina Company Limited
Legal
Address of the Offeror: World Tower, 16 Andelu Dongcheng District, Beijing
Dated: 28 October 2005
Jilin A Share Tender Offer Report
Cautionary Language
1. The Offeror hereby reminds investors that the Offeror intends to acquire Jilin Chemical
Industrial Company Limited (Jilin) through the Offers (as defined herein below) for the purpose
of terminating the listing of Jilin.
2. Following the delisting of the Jilin A Shares, any Jilin A Shares that are not tendered for
acceptance pursuant to the A Share Offer will not able to be traded on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange
and the liquidity of and the convenience of the trading in such Jilin A Shares will be seriously
reduced compared with the same before. However, such Jilin A Shares not so tendered will be able
to be sold to the Offeror, and the Offeror shall by itself or through a securities company
designated by it purchase such Jilin A Shares, at the A Share Offer Consideration (as defined
herein below). Once the Offers become effective, the Offeror will make a separate announcement
with respect to the specific processes and operational procedures for such further purchase
(including but without limitation to formalities such as right confirmation, registration and the
applicable verifications, which need to be dealt with by the shareholders themselves), prior to the
delisting of the Subject Company.
3. In consideration of any impact that the forthcoming Spring Festival may have on the Offers (as
defined herein below), the valid term of the A Share Offer has been adjusted to 35 days, commencing
from the first day on which both the Jilin A Shares and the Jilin H Shares are traded, immediately
after all of the conditions to the H Share Offer are satisfied. As of the date on which this
Report on the Offer to Acquire A Shares of Jilin Chemical Industrial Company Limited (this Offer
Report) is published, the A Share Offer (as defined herein below) has not become effective, thus
holders of Jilin A Shares cannot declare their preliminary acceptance of the A Share Offer.
The date on which the commencement of the valid term of the A Share Offer may occur at the
earliest is 9 January 2006. If all of the conditions to the H Share Offer are satisfied on such
date, PetroChina will publish a reminder announcement about the commencement of the valid term of
the A Share Offer. Based on our reasonable judgment, it is unlikely that the date for the
commencement of the valid term of the A Share Offer will be earlier than 9 January 2006. However,
we cannot exclude the possibility that the conditions to the effectiveness of the H Share Offer may
be satisfied ahead of the schedule. If all of the conditions to the H Share Offer are satisfied
ahead of the schedule, PetroChina will publish a reminder announcement about the commencement of
the valid term of the A Share Offer ahead of the schedule accordingly. If the date on which all of
the conditions to the effectiveness of the H Share Offer are satisfied is postponed, both the date
for the commencement of the valid term of the A Share Offer and the
2
Jilin A Share Tender Offer Report
one for the expiry of the valid term of the A Share Offer will be postponed accordingly.
Therefore, we hereby strongly recommend investors to pay close attention to any and all of the
announcements published by PetroChina as from 4 January 2006.
4. The condition to the effectiveness of the A Share Offer (the A Share Offer Condition) is: the
satisfaction of all of the conditions to H Share Offer. Upon the satisfaction of all of the
conditions to the effectiveness of the H Share Offer, the A Share Offer shall become effective and
the Jilin A Shares shall be delisted; if any of the conditions to the effectiveness of the H Share
Offer are not satisfied, the A Share Offer shall be void from the very beginning.
The H Share Offer is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions (the H Share
Offer Conditions):
|
(1) |
|
the passing of a resolution approving the voluntary withdrawal of the listing of H
Shares from the SEHK (as defined herein below) at a class meeting of the shareholders of
Jilin to be convened for this purpose by the holders of Jilin H Share, other than
PetroChina and persons acting in concert with PetroChina, subject to (A) approval by at
least 75% of the votes attaching to the H Shares held by persons other than PetroChina
and persons acting in concert with PetroChina (the Disinterested Shares) that
are cast either in person or by proxy and (B) the number of votes cast against the
resolution being not more than 10% of the votes attaching to all Disinterested Shares;
and |
|
(2) |
|
minimum valid acceptances of the H Share Offer being received in respect of not
less than 66.67% of the Jilin H Shares, including the Jilin H Shares represented by the
Jilin ADSs, carrying voting rights then exercisable at a general meeting of holders of
Jilin H Share. |
|
|
|
|
The H Share Offer shall become effective upon the satisfaction of all of the above
conditions and shall not become effective from the very beginning if any of the above
conditions is not satisfied. |
After the completion of the Offers subject to the effectiveness of the H Share Offer, the
Offeror will hold at least 85.35% of Jilins total share capital. Pursuant to the currently
effective Company Law (as defined herein below), Jilins equity structure will not qualify Jilin
for a listed company and so Jilin will carry out relevant procedures for delisting Jilin A Shares.
5. Both the A Share Offer Consideration and the H Share Offer Consideration in the Offers are
determined on the following bases: the A Share Offer Consideration and the H Share Offer
Consideration represent appropriate premiums over the average closing price of Jilin A Shares
3
Jilin A Share Tender Offer Report
and the average closing price of Jilin H Shares, in each case, over the six months as of the
publication of the applicable Summary of the Offer Report, and such premiums should be comparable
to each other.
The A Share Offer Consideration under the A Share Offer is RMB5.25 per Jilin A Share, which
represents a premium of approximately 41.9% over the arithmetic average closing price of
approximately RMB3.70 per Jilin A Share, based on the daily arithmetic closing prices over the six
months prior to and including the date on which the applicable Summary of the Offer Report is
publicly announced.
The H Share Offer Consideration (as defined herein below) under the H Share Offer is HK$2.80
per Jilin H Share, which represents a premium of approximately 41.4% over the arithmetic average
closing price of approximately HK$1.98 per Jilin H Share, based on the daily arithmetic closing
prices as quoted on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange Limited over the six months prior to and including
the date on which the applicable Summary of the Offer Report is publicly announced.

Notes: The valid term of the A Share Offer will be 35 days. Based on our
reasonable judgment, it is unlikely that the date for the commencement of the
valid term for the A Share Offer will be earlier than 9 January 2006. However,
we cannot exclude the possibility that the H Share Offer Conditions may be
satisfied ahead of the schedule. If all of the conditions to the H Share Offer
are satisfied ahead of the schedule, PetroChina will publish a reminder
announcement about the commencement of the valid term of the A Share Offer
ahead of the schedule accordingly. If the date on which all of the H

Information related to the source of the funds for the purchase of all of the Jilin A Shares |
The total amount of the funds required by PetroChina to purchase all of the Jilin A Shares is
RMB1.05 billion. PetroChina has already deposited a performance guarantee in the amount of RMB 210
million representing 20% of the total funds required to purchase all of the Jilin A Shares into a
bank account opened with the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) designated by the
Depositary. According to the Certificate of Deposit issued by Beijing Branch of ICBC dated 28
October 2005, as of 27 October 2005, PetroChina has RMB 4 billion deposited with Dianmen Subbranch
of Beijing Branch of ICBC. The Company undertakes that RMB 840 million (representing 80% of the
aggregate of the funds required to purchase all of the Jilin A Shares in the Offers) from the above
RMB 4 billion deposit will be earmarked for the payment of the remaining consideration for the
acquisition of all of the Jilin A Shares in the Offers and guarantees that no person shall have
recourse to such amount.
7. |
|
Term of the A Share Offer |
In consideration of any impact that the forthcoming Spring Festival may have on the Offers,
the term of the A Share Offer has been adjusted to 35 days, commencing from the first trading day
for both the Jilin A Shares and the Jilin H Shares following the satisfaction of all of H Share
Offer Conditions.
As of the date on which this Offer Report is published, the A Share Offer has not become
effective, so holders of Jilin A Shares cannot declare their preliminary acceptance of the A Share
Offer. The date on which the commencement of the valid term of the A Share Offer may occur at the
earliest will be 9 January 2006. If all of the H Share Offer Conditions are satisfied on this
8
Jilin A Share Tender Offer Report
date, the Offeror will publish a reminder announcement about the commencement of the valid
term of the A Share Offer.
Based on our reasonable judgment, it is unlikely that the date for the commencement of the
valid term of the A Share Offer will be earlier than 9 January 2006. However, we cannot exclude
the possibility that H Share Offer Conditions may be satisfied ahead of the schedule. If all H
Share Offer Conditions are satisfied ahead of the schedule, PetroChina will publish a reminder
announcement about the commencement of the valid term of the A Share Offer ahead of the schedule
accordingly. If the date on which all of the H Share Offer Conditions are satisfied is postponed,
both the date for the commencement of the valid term of the A Share Offer and the one for the
expiry of the valid term of the A Share Offer will be postponed accordingly. Therefore, we hereby
strongly recommend investors to pay close attention to any and all of the announcements published
by PetroChina as from 4 January 2006.
8. All of the Preconditions to the Offers Have Been Satisfied or Waived
As provided in the Summary of the Offer Report dated 28 October 2005, the making of the H
Share Offer and the A Share Offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the preconditions as
set out below:
(a) the requisite approvals from the CSRC to the Offers under the PRC Securities Law and the

satisfactory to PetroChina (other than such authorizations and approvals that, if not obtained,

Company on 27 January 2000, the Offeror remains to be the controlling shareholder of the Subject
Company, holding approximately 67.29% of the Subject Companys total issued capital.

services to the Subject Company and vise versa. The Subject Company and the Offeror entered into a
Master Product and Service Agreement on November 30, 2004 (the Master Product and Service

Business Integration: The complete integration of Jilins business and operations
into PetroChina is expected to deliver cost savings and help Jilin better leverage on
PetroChinas integrated upstream, midstream and downstream operations. Following the
successful completion of the Offer, cost savings are expected to result from, among other
things, the rationalization of management and corporate functions, the removal of
processes and costs associated with Jilins current status and increased operational
efficiencies. The Offeror will also be able to include Jilin in its overall domestic
product optimization plans leading to increased operational efficiencies. |
|
|

|
Capital Allocation: Consolidating the operations of Jilin within the PetroChina
Group is intended to provide us the opportunity to derive full benefit across Jilins
value chain and to better plan group-wide capital expenditure in order to optimise
capital allocation across our whole asset base rather than on a more limited plant by
plant basis. |

Jilin A Share Tender Offer Report
During the six months prior to the date on which the applicable Summary of the Offer Report is
publicly announced, the Offeror did not conduct any purchase or sale of any listed Jilin A Shares.
The arithmetic average of the daily volume-weighted average price per Jilin A Share is RMB4.59 over
the 30 trading days prior to the date on which the applicable Summary of the Offer Report is
publicly announced and 90% of such arithmetic average of the daily volume-weighted average price
per Jilin A Share is RMB4.13. Based on the foregoing, pursuant to Article 34 of the Takeover
Regulations, the consideration offered by the Offeror for the acquisition of Jilin A Shares shall
not be lower than RMB4.13 per Jilin A Share.
Pursuant to the Codes on Takeovers and Mergers and Share Repurchases of the SFC, In order to
achieve comparability, this Rule 14 may require an offeror acquiring a particular class of shares
to pay a price higher than the highest price paid by such offeror in the preceding 6 months for the
purchase of shares of that class.
During the six months prior to the date on which the applicable Summary of the Offer Report,
the Offeror did not conduct any purchase or sale of any listed Jilin H Shares either.
Based on the above-referenced relevant provisions of both the PRC and Hong Kong regulatory
authorities, the Offeror has determined the A Share Offer Consideration and the H Share Offer
Consideration on the following bases: the A Share Offer Consideration and the H Share Offer
Consideration should represent appropriate premiums over the average closing price of Jilin A
Shares and the average closing price of Jilin H Shares, in each case, over the six months as of the
publication of the applicable Summary of the Offer Report, and such premiums are comparable to each
other.
The Offeror intends to acquire listed Jilin A Shares at the A Share Consideration of RMB5.25
per Jilin A Share in the A Share Offer, which represents a premium of approximately 41.9% over the
arithmetic average closing price of approximately RMB3.70 per Jilin A Share, which is based on the
daily arithmetic closing prices over the six months prior to and including the date on which the
applicable Summary of the Offer Report is publicly announced.
The Offeror intends to acquire listed Jilin H Shares at the H Share Consideration of HK$2.80
per Jilin H Share in the H Share Offer, which represents a premium of approximately 41.4% over the
average closing price of approximately HK$1.98 per Jilin H Share, which is based on the daily
closing prices as quoted on the SEHK over the six months prior to and including the date on which
the applicable Summary of the Offer Report is publicly announced.

|
a premium of 27.12%, over the lowest price allowed for each Jilin A Share equal to
RMB4.13; |
|
|

|
a premium of 6.92%, over the closing price of RMB4.91 per Jilin A Share on the last

the date on which the applicable Summary of the Offer Report is publicly announced. |
In addition, the H Share Offer Consideration of HK$2.80 per Jilin H Share under the H Share
Offer represents a premium of approximately 15.5% over the closing price of HK$2.425 per Jilin H
Share, as quoted on the SEHK on the last trading day for Jilin H Shares prior to the date on which
the applicable Summary of the Offer Report is publicly announced; and a premium of approximately
17.3% over the daily volume weighted average price of HK$2.388 per share for Jilin H Shares, as

27
Jilin A Share Tender Offer Report
including the last trading day for Jilin H Shares immediately before the date on which the

5. Aggregate of the Consideration for all of the Jilin A Shares in the A Share Offer and the Form
of the Payment of A Share Consideration
The consideration required for the acquisition of all of the Jilin A Shares in the A Share
Offer in aggregate is RMB1.05 billion and will entirely be paid in cash.
6. Valid Term of the A Share Offer and Schedule
In consideration of any impact that the forthcoming Spring Festival may have on the Offers,
the term of the A Share Offer has been adjusted to 35 days, commencing from the first trading date
for both the Jilin A Shares and the Jilin H Shares following the satisfaction of all of H Share
Offer Conditions.
As of the date on which this Offer Report is published, the A Share Offer has not become
effective, thus holders of Jilin A Shares cannot declare their preliminary acceptance of the valid
term of the A Share Offer. The date on which the commencement of the A Share Offer may occur at
the earliest will be 9 January 2006. If all of the H Share Offer Conditions are satisfied on this
date, the Offeror will publish a reminder announcement about the commencement of the valid term of
the A Share Offer.
Based on our reasonable judgment, it is unlikely that the date for the commencement of the
valid term for the A Share Offer will be earlier than 9 January 2006. However, we cannot exclude
the possibility that the H Share Offer Conditions may be satisfied ahead of the schedule. If all
of the conditions to the H Share Offer are satisfied ahead of the schedule, PetroChina will publish
a reminder announcement about the commencement of the valid term of the A Share Offer ahead of the
schedule accordingly. If the date on which all of the H Share Offer Conditions are satisfied is
postponed, both the date for the commencement of the valid term of the A Share Offer and the one
for the expiry of the valid term of the A Share Offer will be postponed accordingly. Therefore, we
hereby strongly recommend investors to pay close attention to any and all of the announcements
published by PetroChina as from 4 January 2006.
The schedule for significant events in the A Share Offer is as follows:
|

16 November 2005 |

Notes: The valid term of the A Share Offer will be 35 days. Based on our reasonable
judgment, it is unlikely that the date for the commencement of the valid term for the A
Share Offer will be earlier than 9 January 2006. However, we cannot exclude the
possibility that the H Share Offer Conditions may be satisfied ahead of the schedule. If
all of the conditions to the H Share Offer are satisfied ahead of the schedule,
PetroChina will publish a reminder announcement about the commencement of the valid term
of the A Share Offer ahead of the schedule accordingly. If the date on which
all of the H Share Offer Conditions are satisfied is postponed, both the date for the
commencement of the valid term of the A Share Offer and the one for the expiry of the
valid term of the A Share Offer will be postponed accordingly.
7. Conditions to the Effectiveness of the Offers

8. No Right of Compulsory Acquisition
The Offeror has no rights under the laws of the PRC or the articles of association of Jilin to
compulsorily acquire the Jilin A Shares and the Jilin H Shares, including the Jilin H Shares
represented by the Jilin ADSs that are not tendered for acceptance pursuant to the A Share Offer or
the H Share Offer (as applicable). Accordingly, the Jilin A Shareholders are reminded that if they
do not accept the A Share Offer and the H Share Offer or the A Share Offer (as applicable)
subsequently becomes unconditional in all respects, and the Jilin H Shares, the Jilin ADSs and the
Jilin A Shares are delisted from the SEHK, the NYSE and the SSE, respectively, this will result in
such Jilin A Shareholders holding securities that are not listed or quoted on the SSE. The
liquidity of and the convenience of the trading in any Jilin A Shares that are not tendered for
acceptance pursuant to the A Share Offer will be seriously reduced compared with the same before.
However, such Jilin A Shares not so tendered will be able to be sold to the Offeror, and the
Offeror shall by itself or through a securities company designated by it purchase such Jilin A
Shares, at the A Share Offer Consideration. Once the Offers become effective, the Offeror will
make a separate announcement with respect to the specific processes and operational procedures for
such further purchases (including but without limitation to formalities such as right confirmation,
registration and the applicable verifications, which need to be dealt with by the shareholders
themselves), prior to the delisting of the Subject Company.

13. Certain Effects of the Offers
Completion of the Offers will terminate the interests in the equity interest held in Jilin by
those Jilin shareholders who will file for acceptances of the Offers. Also as a result of the
Offers, the shares owned by PetroChina in Jilin will increase from its current level, approximately
67.29% of the outstanding share capital, to a higher level caused by shares acquired through
acceptance to the Offers. The H Share Offer is conditioned upon a minimum of 66.67% in nominal
value of the Jilin H Shares, including the Jilin H Shares represented by the Jilin ADSs, being
tendered in the H Share Offer.
Upon the satisfaction of all of the H Share Offer Conditions, the A Share Offer shall become
effective. Upon the Offers becoming or being declared unconditional in all aspects, the listings
of the Jilin A Shares on the SSE, the Jilin H Shares on the SEHK and the Jilin ADSs on the NYSE
will be terminated. The Offeror shall have no rights under the laws of the PRC or the Articles of
Association of Jilin to compulsorily acquire the Jilin A Shares and the Jilin H Shares, including
the Jilin H Shares represented by the Jilin ADSs, that are not tendered for acceptance pursuant to
the Offers. Accordingly, the Jilin A Shareholders, the Jilin H Shareholders and the Jilin ADS
holders are hereby reminded that if they do not accept the Offers and the Offers subsequently
become unconditional in all respects, and the Jilin A Shares, the Jilin H Shares and the Jilin ADSs
are delisted from the SSE, the SEHK and the NYSE, respectively, the result will be that such Jilin
A Shareholders, Jilin H Shareholders and Jilin ADS holders hold securities that are not listed or
quoted on any stock exchange.
The primary benefits of the Offers to Jilin include: because substantially all of its equity
securities will be held by PetroChina, Jilin will enjoy certain efficiencies, such as a reduction
of the time devoted by its management and many other employees to comply with the reporting
requirements associated with the operation of a public company. Specifically, Jilin will no longer
be subject to the SSE, SEHK and NYSE listing and reporting requirements.
The primary benefits that may be provided through the Offers to those Jilin shareholders who
will file for acceptance of the Offers include the following:
The A Share Offer Consideration and the H Share Offer Consideration represent premiums of
approximately 6.9% and 15.5% over the closing trading prices of Jilin A Shares and
34
Jilin A Share Tender Offer Report
Jilin H Shares, respectively, on the SSE and the SEHK on 26 October 2005, the last trading day
for Jilin shares prior to the announcement of the Offers; and
The avoidance of the risk associated with any decrease in the future earnings, growth or
value of Jilin following the Offers.
The primary detriments that may be caused by the Offers to those Jilin shareholders who will
file for acceptance of the Offers include the following:
Jilins shareholders (other than PetroChina) will cease to have an interest in Jilin and
therefore will no longer benefit from increases in the future earnings, growth or value of Jilin or
payment of dividends on the Jilin shares, if any; and
The cash received from the acceptance to the H Share Offer and the A Share Offer will be a
taxable subject under certain PRC, Hong Kong and U.S. tax regimes and may also be taxable upon
under other applicable state, local, foreign and other tax laws. Each Jilin shareholder is
recommended to consult his/her/its own PRC, Hong Kong and US tax advisors regarding tax-related
particulars.
An equity investment in Jilin following the H Share Offer and the A Share Offer will involve
substantial risk resulting from the limited liquidity of such an investment. Nonetheless, if Jilin
successfully carries out its business strategies, the value of PetroChinas equity investment could
be greater than the original cost due to the benefits accruing from increases in the future
earnings, growth or value of Jilin or payment of dividends.
The primary detriments that may be caused by the Offers to PetroChina include the following:
Following the Offers, there will be no market for the exchange of Jilins shares through
public trading.
All of the risk of any decrease in the earnings, growth or value of Jilin following the
Offers, which could be significant, will be borne by PetroChina.

Section 7 The Subsequent Plan for the Post-Tender-Offer
The Offers were made on 16 November, 2005 by the Offeror, thus the conditions that the

National Peoples Congress on 29 December 1993, and amended at the 13th session of the Standing
Committee of the 9th National Peoples Congress on 25 December 1999.
If the conditions to each A Share Offer and H Share Offer are satisfied upon the expiry of the
term of each A Share Offer and the H Share Offer, the Offeror will hold at least 85.35% of Jilins
total share capital. Pursuant to the Company Law, Jilins equity structure will not qualify Jilin

Upon the delisting of the A shares of the Subject Company, any Jilin A Shares that are not
tendered for acceptance pursuant to the A Share Offer will not able to be traded on the SSE and the
liquidity of and the convenience of the trading in such Jilin A Shares will be seriously reduced

such as right confirmation, registration and the applicable verifications, which need to be dealt
with by the shareholders themselves), prior to the delisting of the Subject Company.

current business of production of basic chemicals and chemical raw materials. In addition, the
Offeror will conduct a review of the financial position and operations of Jilin in due course, with
a view to strengthening its operations and future development. The Offeror does not currently have
any plan for redeploying the principal business, assets, liabilities or organizational structure
of Jilin and the Offeror does not have any intention to transfer, mortgage or pledge to any other

|
The Consideration Offered for Each Jilin A Share in the A Share Offer and the Calculation
Basis Thereof |
|
|
|
As required by the Takeover Regulations of the CSRC, the price offered by an offeror
for the acquisition of each of the subject listed shares falling under a certain class of the
subject company shall not be lower than the higher between the following two: |
|
1. |
|
the highest price paid by the offeror for purchasing each of the subject
listed shares of the subject company within the six months prior to the relevant
reminder announcement; |
|
|
2. |
|
90% of the arithmetic average of the daily volume-weighted average price for
each of the subject listed shares of the subject company within the 30 trading days
prior to such relevant reminder announcement. |
During the six months prior to the date on which the Summary of the Offer Report is
published, the Offeror did not conduct any purchase or sale of any listed Jilin A Shares.
The arithmetic average of the daily volume-weighted average price per Jilin A Share is
RMB4.59 over the 30 trading days prior to the Announcement Date and 90% of such arithmetic
average of the daily volume-weighted average price per Jilin A Share is RMB4.13. Based on
the foregoing, pursuant to Article 34 of the Takeover Regulations, the consideration offered
by the Offeror for the acquisition of Jilin A Shares shall not be lower than RMB4.13 per
Jilin A Share.
Pursuant to the Codes on Takeovers and Mergers and Share Repurchases of the SFC, In order to
achieve comparability, this Rule 14 may require an offeror
acquiring a particular class of shares to pay a price higher than the highest price paid by such offeror in the preceding 6

Financial Advisory Report on the Offer of PetroChina to Acquire A Shares of Jilin by China Galaxy Securities
During the six months prior to the date on which the Summary of the Offer Report is
published, the Offeror did not conduct any purchase or sale of any listed Jilin H Shares
either.
Based on the above-referenced relevant provisions of both the PRC and Hong Kong regulatory
authorities, the Offeror has determined the consideration offered for each Jilin A Share (the
A Share Offer Consideration) and the consideration offered for each Jilin H Share (the H
Share Offer Consideration) under the Offers on the following bases: the A Share Offer
Consideration and the H Share Offer Consideration should represent appropriate premiums over
the average closing price of Jilin A Shares and the average closing price of Jilin H Shares,
in each case, over the six months as of the publication of the applicable Summary of the
Offer Report, and such premiums should be comparable to each other.
The Offeror intends to acquire listed Jilin A Shares at the A Share Consideration of RMB5.25
per Jilin A Share in the A Share Offer, which represents a premium of approximately 41.9%
over the arithmetic average closing price of approximately RMB3.70 per Jilin A Share, which
is based on the daily arithmetic closing prices over the six months prior to and including
the date on which the applicable Summary of the Offer Report is publicly announced.
The Offeror intends to acquire listed Jilin H Shares for a consideration of HK$2.80 per Jilin
H Share (the H Share Offer Consideration) in the H Share Offer, which represents a premium
of approximately 41.4% over the average closing price of approximately HK$1.98 per Jilin H
Share, which is based on the daily closing prices as quoted on the SEHK over the six months
prior to and including the date on which the applicable Summary of the Offer Report is
publicly announced.
The A Share Offer Consideration under the A Share Offer represents:
|
(i) |
|
a premium of 27.12%, over the lowest price allowed for each Jilin A Share equal
to RMB4.13; |
|
(ii) |
|
a premium of 6.92%, over the closing price of RMB4.91 per Jilin A Share on the
last trading day for Jilin A Shares prior to the date on which the applicable Summary of
the Offer Report is publicly announced; |

prior to the date on which the applicable Summary of the Offer Report is publicly
announced; |
|
(vi) |

announced; and |
|
(vii) |
|
a premium of 24.11%, over the arithmetic average of RMB4.23 per Jilin A Share of
the daily arithmetic average closing price for Jilin A Shares over the 3 months prior to
the date on which the applicable Summary of the Offer Report is publicly announced. |
(IV) |
|
Aggregate of the Consideration for all of the Jilin A Shares in the A Share Offer and the
Form of the Payment of A Share Consideration |
|
|

The Offeror intends to acquire listed Jilin A Shares for a consideration of RMB1.05
billion, all of which will be paid in cash. Upon the expiration of the term of the Offer,
once the A Share Offer Condition is satisfied, after completing the confirmation procedure

Financial Advisory Report on the Offer of PetroChina to Acquire A Shares of Jilin by China Galaxy Securities

effective, thus holders of Jilin A Shares cannot declare their
preliminary acceptance of the valid term of the A Share Offer. The date on which the
commencement of the A Share Offer may occur at the earliest will be 9 January 2006. If all

of the H Share Offer Conditions are satisfied is postponed, both the date for the
commencement of the valid term of the A Share Offer and the one for the expiry of the valid
