Explanatory Note
Aluminum Corporation of China Limited (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 20-F (this “Amendment No. 1”) to our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 25, 2023 (the “Original Filing”), to address certain comments from the Staff of the SEC in relation to the Original Filing. Accordingly, we are restating in their entirety the following sections of the Original Filing: (i) Part II – “Item 16I. Disclosure Regarding Foreign Jurisdictions that Prevent Inspections”; and (ii) Part III – “Item 19. Exhibits”. As required by Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, new certifications by our president and chief financial officer are being filed as exhibits to this Amendment No. 1.
No attempt has been made in this Amendment No. 1 to modify or update in any way the financial statements or any other items or disclosures in the Original Filing except as required to reflect the amendments discussed above. Except as otherwise noted herein, this Amendment No. 1 continues to describe conditions as of the date of the Original Filing, and the disclosures contained herein have not been updated to reflect events, results or developments that occurred after the date of the Original Filing, or to modify or update those disclosures affected by subsequent events. Among other things, forward-looking statements made in the Original Filing have not been revised to reflect events, results or developments that occurred or facts that became known to us after the date of the Original Filing. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing and the Company’s other filings with the SEC subsequent to April 25, 2023.
PART II
| Item 16I. | Disclosure Regarding Foreign Jurisdictions that Prevent Inspections |
In May 2022, the SEC conclusively listed us as a Commission-Identified Issuer under the HFCA Act following the filing of the annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. Our auditor, a registered public accounting firm headquartered in mainland China which the PCAOB was unable to inspect or investigate completely in 2021 because of a position taken by authorities in China, issued the audit report for us for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB issued a report that vacated its December 16, 2021 determination and removed mainland China and Hong Kong from the list of jurisdictions where it is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms. For this reason, we do not expect to be identified as a Commission-Identified Issuer under the HFCA Act after we file this annual report on Form 20-F.
Our controlling shareholder, Chinalco, directly and indirectly owns 31.90% of our outstanding ordinary Shares as of March 31, 2023, among which 29.43% was directly owned by itself, and 2.47% was indirectly owned via its wholly-owned entities, including Baotou Aluminum, Chinalco Asset Operation and Management Co., Ltd. and Aluminum Corporation of China Overseas Holdings Limited. Chinalco is a company incorporated and domiciled in the PRC and is wholly owned by the SASAC, a special commission directly under the State Council of China, which is the executive body of the supreme organ of state power of the PRC. Therefore, Chinese governmental entity has controlling financial interest in the Company by virtue of the SASAC’s 31.90% indirect equity ownership in the Company through Chinalco.
As of December 31, 2022, we have 30 consolidated foreign operating entities (the “CFOEs”), including 16 wholly-owned subsidiaries and 14 subsidiaries not wholly owned by us (the “Partially-Owned Subsidiaries”). Out of these CFOEs, 22 subsidiaries were disclosed as the principal subsidiaries in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements, including 14 of our wholly-owned subsidiaries and 8 of our Partially-Owned Subsidiaries. See Note 1 to our audited consolidated financial statements contained in this annual report for information about our principal subsidiaries. For each of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, given that Chinalco, a company controlled by the SASAC, beneficially owns 31.90% of our outstanding ordinary Shares as the controlling shareholder, Chinese governmental entity has a controlling financial interest in the Company and each such wholly-owned subsidiary, and owns, indirectly through the Company, 31.90% equity interests in each such wholly-owned subsidiary. In addition, the following table sets forth the information as of the date of this annual report with respect to the shareholding structure of each of our Partially-Owned Subsidiaries. Accordingly, the Chinese government entities, through the Company and/or other entities controlled by Chinese government entities, have controlling financial interests in each of the Partially-Owned Subsidiaries.
Partially-Owned Subsidiaries | | Shareholding by the Company (%) | | | Shareholding by Other Entities Controlled by Chinese Governmental Entities (%) | | | Shareholding by Other Entities (%) | |

| (1) | Mr. Liu Jianping resigned from all positions in the Company on July 19, 2023 due to work arrangement, as disclosed in the Form 6-K furnished to the Commission by the Company on July 19, 2023. Additionally, Mr. Liu Jianping resigned from the secretary position in the Company’s Primary-level Party Organization in June 2023. The new secretary of the Company’s Primary-level Party Organization does not hold director, supervisor or any other position with the Company. |
| (2) | Mr. Dong Jianxiong was elected as the Company’s executive director and the chairman of the Board of Directors at the Company’s extraordinary general meeting on September 19, 2023, as disclosed in the Form 6-K furnished to the Commission by the Company on the same day. |

As of the date of this annual report, although eight members of our Board are the members of the CCP, none of them is considered by the Company as an “official” of the CCP because (i) they serve only internal leadership or managerial roles within the Company, without any public extension of these roles; (ii) they are not engaged in public duties akin to civil servants in the PRC nor hold positions in any governmental authority or public institution; (iii) their compensation does not come from the PRC national or local treasury as they are not part of the government administrative staffing system; and (iv) they do not receive any form of compensation from government authorities or public institutions. As of the date of this annual report and to our best knowledge, none of the members of the board of directors of each of our CFOEs is an official of the CCP. However, the Company acknowledges the lack of a clear, specific definition of a CCP “official” in both the HFCA Act and the charter of the CCP (the “CCP Charter”), and the Company acknowledges the SEC’s authority to interpret the term “CCP official” and will respect any such interpretation by the SEC, even though it may differ from the Company’s own understanding.
