6.Why has the new bank chosen to inherit the name of original PAB?

Answer:The renaming of the bank has two important factors to consider: First, whether it meets the best interest of customers and stakeholders; second, whether it is in line with the future long-term development strategy of the bank. As to the renaming proposal, the bank started a long and widely-covering survey on multiple types of customer samples from many cities conducted by an international renowned third party brand survey consulting company from the first half of 2011, and had come to the conclusion applying scientific tools, methodology and analysis that the name of PAB is superior in customer acceptability and popularity, more favorable to leveraging the advantages of its controlling parent company Ping An Group in brand, customer, channel, product and service, and more advantageous to business development and market expansion, particularly in cross-selling and offering integrated financial products and services. In addition, the name change of the bank is only one item in the merger process and the greater significance of the merger lies in bringing real value to customers through wider-covering network, more professionals and more diversified offering.
