CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.

Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(2) PROPOSED CHANGE IN AUDITORS

The Board announced that Deloitte has resigned as the auditors of the Company with effect from 11 August 2017. The Company wishes to appoint the same auditor as 500.com Limited, in order to align the audit arrangements between the Company and 500.com Limited with a view to enhancing the efficiency of the audit services and saving cost, which would be in the best interest of the Company as well as its Shareholders as a whole.

Deloitte has confirmed that from their perspective there are no matters that need to be brought to the attention of the Shareholders. Both the Board and the Audit Committee confirmed that there is no disagreement between the Company and Deloitte and that there are no matters or circumstances in respect of the change of the auditors which should be brought to the attention of the Shareholders.

The Board would like to take this opportunity to express its sincere gratitude to Deloitte for their professional services provided to the Company in the past years.

The Board, with the recommendation from the Audit Committee, has resolved to propose the appointment of Ernst & Young as the new auditors of the Company to fill the casual vacancy following the resignation of Deloitte and to hold office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company.
