In September 2020, the State Council issued the Notice on Accelerating Digital Transformation of State-owned Enterprises, proposing to use 5G, cloud computing and other new generation information technology to accelerate the pace of enterprises using the cloud. This helped the rapid development of Capinfo Cloud Technology’s cloud business. Furthermore, due to the impact of COVID-19 pandemic, Capinfo Cloud Technology also vigorously expanded its cloud services to meet the needs of customers under the regular epidemic prevention and control. Therefore, it is expected that the relevant business volume of Capinfo Cloud Technology will be significantly increased for the next three years ending 31 December 2023 which will require increase of its internet access bandwidth. The annual caps disclosed in the Announcement took into account Capinfo Cloud Technology’s
