[TD]An official of Bank of China expressed late this evening: the Bank has never defaulted on any fund payment and fulfilled all of the outbound payments on June 20 in a timely manner. Relevant media reports and market rumors seriously distorted the facts and are totally untrue. The Bank reserves its rights to pursue legal action towards those institutions and individuals who maliciously fabricate and spread rumors against BOC.
