Bank of China Limited (Bank of China) has filed for the listing of a new US$40.00 billion Medium Term Note Programme on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (HKEX), adopting a fiscal-agency structure. The listing is expected to become effective on 25 August 2026, enabling the Bank to issue debt securities to professional investors for a 12-month period ending August 2027, in accordance with Chapter 37 of HKEX Listing Rules.

All notes issued under the updated structure will be offered exclusively to professional investors and remain unregistered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, thus not for distribution within the United States except as permitted by applicable regulations.
