Reference is made to the EGM Circular and the EGM Notice of the Company dated 4 February 2016, which set out the time and venue of the EGM and contain the resolutions to be considered and approved at the EGM.

The EGM will be held as originally scheduled at Donghua Hall, 11th Floor, Beijing Minzu Hotel, No. 51 Fuxingmen Inner Street, Xicheng District, Beijing, the PRC, on Thursday, 24 March 2016 at 9:30 a.m., and in addition to the resolutions contained in the EGM Notice, the supplemental resolution in relation to the continuing connected transactions between the Company and Galaxy Fund contained in the supplemental notice as set out on pages 11 to 12 of this supplemental circular will also be considered and approved at the same meeting.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The purpose of this supplemental circular is to provide you with the supplemental notice of the EGM and the information reasonably necessary to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the proposed supplemental resolution at the EGM.

SUPPLEMENTAL ORDINARY RESOLUTION – CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND GALAXY FUND

On 24 February 2016, the Company entered into the Framework Agreement with Galaxy Fund, pursuant to which the Company will (1) subscribe for or redeem public funds and segregated accounts managed by Galaxy Fund and pay subscription fee or redemption fee in relation thereto to Galaxy Fund, and (2) conduct dealer-quoted bond repurchase transactions with Galaxy Fund in the inter-bank market and pay financing interests to Galaxy Fund, during the term of the Framework Agreement. The Company will conduct such transactions with Galaxy Fund on a voluntary and non-exclusive basis.

Galaxy Financial Holdings is the controlling shareholder of the Company holding approximately 54.71% of the issued share capital of the Company, and is therefore a connected person of the Company. Galaxy Fund is a non-wholly owned subsidiary of Galaxy Financial Holdings, and also a connected person of the Company. As such, the transactions contemplated under the Framework Agreement constitute continuing connected transactions of the Company under the Listing Rules. As the applicable percentage ratios as set out in the Listing Rules represented by the annual caps of the continuing connected transactions are more than 0.1% but less than 5%, such transactions are subject to the reporting, announcement and annual review requirements but are exempt from the independent Shareholders’ approval requirement under the Listing Rules. The Company has issued an announcement in relation to such transactions on 24 February 2016 in accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules.

Given that the aggregated amount of transactions between the Company and Galaxy Fund for the past 12 consecutive months is more than RMB30 million and represents more than 5% of the latest audited net asset of the Company, the transactions contemplated under the Framework Agreement are subject to approval by the Shareholders’ general meeting of the Company pursuant to the Administrative Measures for Connected Transactions (《關聯交 易管理辦法》)of the Company. As such, the Company proposed to seek approval from the Shareholders at the EGM in respect of the transactions contemplated under the Framework Agreement in accordance with the Administrative Measures for Connected Transactions (《關 聯交易管理辦法》)of the Company. In view of the interest of Galaxy Financial Holdings in the transactions contemplated under the Framework Agreement, Galaxy Financial Holdings will abstain from voting at the EGM to approve such transactions.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Nature of transactions

Pursuant to the Framework Agreement, the Company and Galaxy Fund will conduct (1) transactions in relation to the subscription or redemption of public funds and segregated accounts, and (2) dealer-quoted bond repurchase transactions, on normal commercial terms in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and general market practices.

Transactions in relation to the subscription or redemption of public funds and segregated accounts

The Company will subscribe for or redeem public funds and segregated accounts managed by Galaxy Fund and will pay subscription fee or redemption fee in relation thereto to Galaxy Fund.

Dealer-quoted bond repurchase transactions

Galaxy Fund will provide financing to the Company, which will be secured by the bond assets of the Company. The Company will pay financing interests to Galaxy Fund in respect of the financing provided by Galaxy Fund.

Pricing and payment

Transactions in relation to the subscription or redemption of public funds and segregated accounts

The Company will subscribe for or redeem public funds and segregated accounts managed by Galaxy Fund and will pay subscription fee or redemption fee in relation thereto to Galaxy Fund. At the time of the Company’s subscription of public funds and segregated accounts, the Company shall pay to Galaxy Fund the subscription price and the corresponding subscription fee in full; at the time of the Company’s redemption of public funds and segregated accounts, Galaxy Fund shall pay to the Company the redemption price after deduction of the redemption fee in accordance with the time frame prescribed in the relevant fund contract, asset management agreement, prospectus and investment instruction.

The subscription price or redemption price is the unit net price of the fund products on the subscription or redemption date. Such unit net price is calculated by dividing the net asset value of the fund products by the total number of the fund units. The net asset value of the fund products is determined in accordance with the China Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises (《中國企業會計準則》)and the relevant requirements of the CSRC and the Asset Management Association of China (中國證券投資基金業協會), and taking into account the fund portfolio consisting of securities, bank deposits, receivables and other investments. Pursuant to the relevant PRC laws and regulations, the unit net price of the fund products determined by fund managers, such as Galaxy Fund, shall be reviewed and examined by the relevant fund custodian bank and publicly disclosed on the relevant fund manager’s website and the designated media of the CSRC.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The subscription fee or redemption fee shall be calculated based on the rate prescribed in the relevant fund contract, asset management agreement, prospectus and investment instruction, which is based on the average market rate and equally applies to all subscribers of the fund products. In general, the average market rate is calculated by reference to the subscription fees or redemption fees of fund products of a similar type in the market within one year, as disclosed in the publicly-available fund contracts, asset management agreements, prospectuses and investment instructions. The above information may be obtained from Wind Information Co., Ltd. (上海萬得信息技術股份有限公司) (“ Wind Information ”), an independent integrated financial data service provider in the PRC, and the Company pays a fee to access such information. Pursuant to the relevant PRC laws and regulations, the fund contract, asset management agreement, prospectus and investment instruction shall be filed with the CSRC and publicly disclosed on the fund manager’s website and the designated media of the CSRC.

Dealer-quoted bond repurchase transactions

Galaxy Fund will provide financing to the Company, which will be secured by the bond assets of the Company. The Company will pay financing interests to Galaxy Fund in respect of the financing provided by Galaxy Fund.

The financing interests shall be determined by the parties through arm’s length negotiation based on the prevailing market price pursuant to the Implementing Rules for the Operation of Bond Investment Business in the Inter-Bank Market (《銀行間市場債券投資業務操 作實施細則》)of the Company. The market price is generally determined by reference to the weighted average price of financing interests of dealer-quoted bond repurchase transactions with a similar duration on the date of transaction, and having regard to the supply and demand of capital in the market at the time when such transaction is conducted. The weighted average price of the financing interests may be obtained from Wind Information, and the Company pays a fee to access such information.

Pursuant to the relevant PRC laws and regulations, details of any bond transactions with connected persons (such as the dealer-quoted bond repurchase transactions under the Framework Agreement), including the amount of financing interests, shall be filed with the China Foreign Exchange Trading System and National Interbank Funding Center(中國外匯交 易中心暨全國銀行間同業拆借中心)(“ CFETS ”) and disclosed to the market through the trading system of the CFETS. The transaction price (i.e. financing interests in the case of dealer-quoted bond repurchase transactions) shall be subject to the regulation of the CFETS. If the transaction price deviates from the market price, the transaction parties shall explain the pricing basis and the reasons for such deviation in writing to the CFETS on the date of transaction, and provide the relevant supporting materials as required by the CFETS. The CFETS shall also have the right to conduct investigations on the transaction parties in this regard and report any findings thereof to the People’s Bank of China.

Term

The Framework Agreement is for a term of three years from the date of approval by the Shareholders at the general meeting, and may be renewed for another three years subject to compliance with the relevant laws and the Listing Rules.

RMB million

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Reasons for and Benefits of the Continuing Connected Transactions

With the stable performance of its fund products, Galaxy Fund has demonstrated its satisfactory fund management capability and received favorable comments from independent professional institutions. According to the information published by Wind Information, as at the end of the third quarter of 2015, Galaxy Fund managed a total of 29 funds, including 18 mix-typed funds, 6 bond funds, 4 equity funds and 1 monetary market fund, with the size of the fund assets amounting to RMB31.82 billion. With respect to the dealer-quoted bond repurchase transactions, the provision of financing by Galaxy Fund to the Company can effectively expand the financing channels of the Company, and alleviate its demand for capital at the end of each quarter. The Company and Galaxy Fund have similar historical development and corporate culture and have established an efficient and smooth business cooperation relationship. Hence, the selection of Galaxy Fund by the Company as its counterparty to the transactions can effectively mitigate the credit risk and operational risk of its relevant businesses.

The Directors (including the Independent Non-executive Directors) consider that the continuing connected transactions contemplated under the Framework Agreement are entered into in the ordinary course of business and on normal commercial terms, and are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole, and that the annual caps of the continuing connected transactions are fair and reasonable. As Mr. Chen Youan, Mr. Gu Weiguo and Mr. Du Ping hold positions in Galaxy Financial Holdings and/or Galaxy Fund, they have abstained from voting on the resolution of the Board for the approval of the continuing connected transactions contemplated under the Framework Agreement.

General information

The Company is a leading integrated financial services provider in the PRC securities industry, providing comprehensive securities services, including brokerage, sales and trading, as well as investment banking and investment management.

Galaxy Fund is principally engaged in public offering of funds, sale of funds and asset management.

THE EGM
