ANNOUNCEMENT ON ESTIMATED PROFIT INCREASE FOR THE ANNUAL RESULTS 2015


This announcement is made by China Taiping Insurance Holdings Company Limited (the "Company" and together with its subsidiaries, the "Group") pursuant to Rules 13.09(2) of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Listing Rules") and the Inside Information Provisions (as defined in the Listing Rules) under Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong) ("SFO").


The Company wishes to inform its shareholders and potential investors that based on preliminary estimation by the Company, the profit attributable to shareholders of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2015 (the "2015 Annual Period") is expected to increase by more than 50% from the same period in 2014.
