When the above conditions of mandatory conversion are met, the Company shall report the conversion of the Domestic Preference Shares to Ordinary Shares to the CBRC for approval, and shall disclose in accordance with the Securities Law and relevant provisions of the CSRC through preliminary reports, announcements and other channels.

After the Board has resolved to approve the issuance of the Domestic Preference Shares, whenever the capital of the Company is changed due to the issue of bonus shares, capitalization issue, issue of new shares at a price lower than the market price or rights issue (other than the issue of new shares upon conversion of convertible instruments issued by the Company), the Company shall adjust the conversion price according to the sequence of occurrence of the above events by using the following formulas:

For issue of bonus shares or capitalization issue: P1 = P0×N/(N+n);

For issue of new shares at a price lower than the market price or rights issue: P1 = P0×(N+k)/ (N+n); k = n×A/M;

3 The average trading price of the ordinary A Shares of the Company in 20 trading days preceding the date of the Board resolution announcement = the total trading amount of the Company’s ordinary A Shares in the 20 trading days preceding the date of the Board resolution announcement ÷ the total trading volume of the Company’s ordinary A Shares in the 20 trading days preceding the date of the Board resolution announcement.
