LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As at the date of this announcement, each of Shanghai Subsidiaries is a subsidiary of the Company.

As the parties of each of the Equity Transfer Agreements entered into between the Company and Mr. Zhou Qing are the same and the transactions under such Equity Transfer Agreements are identical in term of nature, such transactions shall be aggregated.
