INTRODUCTION

        This Rule 13e-3 transaction statement on Schedule 13E-3, together with the exhibits hereto (this "Transaction Statement"), is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), jointly by the following persons (each, a "Filing Person," and collectively, the "Filing Persons"): (a) China Hydroelectric Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability (the "Company"), the issuer of the registered ordinary shares, par value $0.001 per share (each, a "Share" and, collectively, the "Shares"), including the Shares represented by the American depositary shares, each representing three Shares ("ADSs"), that is subject to the transaction pursuant to Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act; (b) CPT Wyndham Holdings Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability ("Parent"); (c) CPT Wyndham Sub Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability ("Merger Sub"); (d) CPI Ballpark Investments Ltd, a Mauritius limited liability company ("CPI Ballpark"); (e) NewQuest Asia Fund I, L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership; (f) NewQuest Asia Fund II, L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (together with NewQuest Asia Fund I, L.P., the "NewQuest Funds" or the "Sponsors" and, together, with CPI Ballpark, "NewQuest"); and (g) China Environment Fund III, L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership ("CEF"). NewQuest, CEF, Parent and Merger Sub are collectively referred to herein as the "Buyer Group".

        On January 13, 2014, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (as may be amended form time to time, the "merger agreement"), which included a plan of merger required to be filed with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands, substantially in the form attached as Annex A to the merger agreement (the "plan of merger"). If the merger agreement is approved and authorized by the Company's shareholders and the other conditions to the closing of the merger (as described below) are satisfied, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the "merger"), with the Company continuing as the surviving company after the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

        Under the terms of the merger agreement, at the effective time of the merger (the "effective time"), each outstanding Share (including Shares represented by ADSs) other than Excluded Shares (as defined below) will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive $1.17 per Share or $3.51 per ADS (less $0.05 per ADS cancellation fees pursuant to the terms of the deposit agreement dated January 25, 2010, by and among the Company, the ADS depositary and the holders and beneficial owners of ADSs issued thereunder), in each case, in cash and without interest, and net of any applicable withholding taxes. "Excluded Shares" are (i) Shares and ADSs beneficially owned (as determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act by Parent or any wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (including Merger Sub) immediately prior to the effective time, including each Share or ADS to be contributed to Parent by the Rollover Shareholders (as defined below) in connection with the rollover and support agreement dated as of January 13, 2014 (as may be amended form time to time, the "rollover agreement") entered into by Parent and the Rollover Shareholders and each Share or ADS which may be contributed to Parent by certain other shareholders of the Company in accordance with certain additional rollover agreements, if any, which are entered into, with the prior consent of the special committee, by such shareholders and Parent from the date of the merger agreement until the closing date of the merger, and (ii) Shares ("Dissenting Shares") owned by holders of Shares who have validly exercised and not effectively withdrawn or lost their dissenters' rights pursuant to Section 238 of the Companies Law (2013 Revision) of the Cayman Islands (the "Cayman Companies Law") ("Dissenting Shareholders"). At the effective time, the Excluded Shares (other than Dissenting Shares) will be cancelled for no consideration.

        In addition, at the effective time, each outstanding vested and unexercised option to purchase Shares granted under the Company's 2008 Share Incentive Plan (the "Company Incentive Plan") will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive, as soon as practicable after the effective time, a

cash amount equal to the number of Shares underlying such vested option immediately prior to the effective time of the merger multiplied by the amount by which $1.17 exceeds the exercise price per Share of such vested option. At the effective time, each outstanding unvested option to purchase Shares granted under the Company Incentive Plan will be cancelled for no consideration.

        Furthermore, concurrently with the execution and delivery of the merger agreement, certain existing shareholders of the Company, namely CPI Ballpark and CEF (collectively, the "Rollover Shareholders"), have entered into a rollover and support agreement with Parent, pursuant to which they have agreed with Parent, among other things, that (a) they will vote all of their Shares in favor of the proposal to approve and authorize the merger agreement, the plan of merger and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger, and (b) the Shares (including Shares represented by ADSs) held by them will be contributed to Parent and cancelled for no consideration in the merger and that they will subscribe for newly issued ordinary shares of Parent immediately prior to the closing of the merger. Each Dissenting Share will be cancelled for the right to receive the fair value of such Dissenting Share as determined in accordance with Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Law.

        The merger remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the merger agreement, including obtaining the requisite authorization and approval of the shareholders of the Company. In order for the merger to be completed, the merger agreement, the plan of merger and the merger must be authorized and approved by a special resolution of the Company passed by an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of such shareholders of the Company entitled to do so, voting in person or by proxy as a single class at the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of the Company.

        The Company will make available to its shareholders a proxy statement (the "proxy statement," a preliminary copy of which is attached as Exhibit (a)(1) to this Transaction Statement), relating to the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of the Company, at which the shareholders of the Company will consider and vote upon, among other proposals, a proposal to authorize and approve the merger agreement, the plan of merger and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger. A copy of the merger agreement is attached to the proxy statement as Annex A and is incorporated herein by reference. As of the date hereof, the proxy statement is in preliminary form and is subject to completion.
