Dear Sir or Madam,

(3) NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

1. INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this letter is to provide you the information regarding the proposals in respect of (i) the proposed adoption of the KIS Scheme; and (ii) the proposed adoption of the Kingsoft Japan Scheme, which will be considered at the EGM as set out in the EGM Notice.

2. ADOPTION OF THE KIS SCHEME

Background

KIS is a non-wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company holds 53.09% KIS Ordinary Shares and 1% preferred shares of KIS. On the assumption that all the preferred shares of KIS are fully converted into the KIS Ordinary Shares based on the initial conversion ratio of 1:1, KIS is owned as to 54.09% by the Company. The total number of the KIS Ordinary Shares in issue is 1,000,551,482 and no share option scheme has been adopted by KIS.

— 4 —

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

The KIS Scheme is an equity incentive plan, which involves the granting of the KIS Options, share appreciation right or other share-based award to the KIS Participants. As the KIS Scheme involves the grant of options, the KIS Scheme must comply with the relevant requirements of Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules. In addition, the grant of the share appreciation right or other share-based award to a KIS Participant who is a connected person of the Company (if any) shall comply with the relevant requirements of Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

The Company will, where applicable, comply with the relevant requirements of Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules in connection with the deemed disposal as a result of the exercise of the KIS Options or the grant of other share-based award under the KIS Scheme, which may reduce the percentage equity interest of the Company in KIS.

Purpose of the KIS Scheme

The purpose of the KIS Scheme is to aid KIS and KIS Affi liates in recruiting and retaining key employees, directors or consultants of outstanding ability and to motivate such employees, directors or consultants to exert their best efforts on behalf of KIS and KIS Affi liates by providing incentives through the granting of awards, including but not limited to, the KIS Options.

Source and number of the KIS Ordinary Shares subject to the KIS Options to be granted

The maximum number of the KIS Ordinary Shares which may be issued under the KIS Scheme is 64,497,718 KIS Ordinary Shares, representing 6.44% of the total number of the KIS Ordinary Shares in issue as at the KIS Adoption Date, unless otherwise (i) approved by the shareholders of the Company and KIS, or (ii) in case KIS ceases being a subsidiary of the Company, approved by the shareholders of KIS.

Conditions precedent to the KIS Scheme becoming effective

The adoption of the KIS Scheme is conditional upon the passing of the necessary resolutions by the directors and shareholders of KIS and the Company.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the KIS Scheme has been approved by the shareholders of KIS. Subject to the approval of the Shareholders for the adoption of the KIS Scheme at the EGM, the KIS Scheme will take effect on the KIS Adoption Date.

Documents available for inspection

A copy of the KIS Scheme will be available for inspection during normal business hours at the principal place of business of the Company in Hong Kong at Unit 1309A, 13/F, Cable TV Tower, No. 9 Hoi Shing Road, Tsuen Wan, N.T., Hong Kong during the 14-day period immediately preceding the EGM (including the date of the EGM).

General information

Upon adoption of the KIS Scheme, the Company will disclose the required information in relation to the KIS Scheme in its subsequent annual report and interim report in accordance with the disclosure requirements under 17.07 of the Listing Rules.

— 5 —

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

In order to ensure that the purpose of the KIS Scheme is achieved and subject to the relevant requirements of Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules (where applicable), the KIS Committee will have the power, authority and discretion to determine, among other things, the terms and conditions of any award (including KIS Option(s)) to be granted pursuant to the KIS Scheme, including but not limited to, the exercise price, grant price, or purchase price, any minimum period for which the award must be held for before it can be exercised, any performance targets which must be achieved before an award can be exercised.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the directors of the Company or KIS are appointed as trustees of the KIS Scheme or have a direct or indirect interest in the trustees of the KIS Scheme.

A summary of all principal terms of the KIS Scheme in relation to the KIS Options is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

3. ADOPTION OF THE KINGSOFT JAPAN SCHEME

Background

Kingsoft Japan is a non-wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, in which the Company carries 51% voting rights. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of the Kingsoft Japan Ordinary Shares in issue is 36,120.

Pursuant to the shareholders resolutions of Kingsoft Japan dated 2 November 2006 and 31 July 2007, Kingsoft Japan adopted the share option schemes, pursuant to which the maximum number of the Kingsoft Japan Ordinary Shares to be issued upon exercise of all options amounted to 1,000 Kingsoft Japan Ordinary Shares. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the options, representing 225 Kingsoft Japan Ordinary Shares to be issued upon exercise, have been forfeited and no further options under such schemes are to be granted. The exercise of all such options is conditional upon a successful initial public offering of Kingsoft Japan. Save as disclosed above, there is no other option scheme adopted by Kingsoft Japan as at the Latest Practicable Date.

The Company will, where applicable, comply with the relevant requirements of Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules in connection with the deemed disposal as a result of the exercise of the Kingsoft Japan Options under the Kingsoft Japan Scheme, which may reduce the percentage equity interest of the Company in Kingsoft Japan.

Purpose of the Kingsoft Japan Scheme

The purpose of the Kingsoft Japan Scheme is to provide incentives or rewards to Kingsoft Japan Participants thereunder for their contribution to Kingsoft Japan and its subsidiaries and/or to enable Kingsoft Japan to recruit and retain high-calibre employees and attract human resources that are valuable to Kingsoft Japan, its subsidiaries and Kingsoft Japan Invested Entities.

Source and number of the Kingsoft Japan Ordinary Shares subject to the Kingsoft Japan Options to be granted

The maximum number of the Kingsoft Japan Ordinary Shares to be issued upon exercise of all options to be granted under the Kingsoft Japan Scheme may not in aggregate exceed 2,837 Kingsoft Japan Ordinary Shares (representing approximately 7.85% of the total number of the Kingsoft Japan Ordinary Shares in issue as at the Kingsoft Japan Adoption Date) which is lower than 10% of the

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Kingsoft Japan Ordinary Shares in issue as at the Kingsoft Japan Adoption Date, i.e. 3,612 Kingsoft Japan Options and assuming that no Kingsoft Japan Ordinary Shares will be issued or repurchased by Kingsoft Japan from the Latest Practicable Date to the Kingsoft Japan Adoption Date.

Unless otherwise approved by the Kingsoft Japan Board and expressly stated in the Kingsoft Japan Offer, the Kingsoft Japan Options may be exercised by the Kingsoft Japan Grantee only after the initial public offering of Kingsoft Japan in accordance with the vesting period applicable to the Kingsoft Japan Options at the time as determined by the Kingsoft Japan Board during the Kingsoft Japan Option Period. Subject to the Kingsoft Japan Scheme, any Kingsoft Japan Option shall be deemed unvested before the initial public offering of Kingsoft Japan.

Conditions precedent to the Kingsoft Japan Scheme becoming effective

The adoption of the Kingsoft Japan Scheme is conditional upon the passing of the resolutions by shareholders of Kingsoft Japan and the Company.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, subject to the approvals of the Shareholders at the EGM and the shareholders of Kingsoft Japan in general meeting for the adoption of the Kingsoft Japan Scheme, the Kingsoft Japan Scheme will take effect on the Kingsoft Japan Adoption Date.

Adjustment to the exercise price and number of the Kingsoft Japan Ordinary Shares subject to

the Kingsoft Japan Options

The Kingsoft Japan Scheme has a mechanism for adjustment of the Kingsoft Japan Subscription Price and/or the number of the Kingsoft Japan Ordinary Shares subject to the Kingsoft Japan Options and to the Kingsoft Japan Scheme in the event of a capitalization issue (including a bonus issue), rights issue, sub-division or consolidation of the Kingsoft Japan Ordinary Shares or reduction of capital. The details of such adjustments are set out under paragraph 12 of Appendix II to this circular.

The Company further confi rms that it will comply with the relevant requirements of the Listing Rules in all future adjustments to be made to the Kingsoft Japan Subscription Price and/or the number of the Kingsoft Japan Ordinary Shares subject to the Kingsoft Japan Options and to the Kingsoft Japan Scheme.

It does not form part of, nor is it intended to be part of, the terms of the KIS Scheme and it should not be taken as affecting the interpretation of the terms of the KIS Scheme:

1. PURPOSE OF THE SCHEME

The purpose of the KIS Scheme is to aid KIS and KIS Affi liates in recruiting and retaining key employees, directors or consultants of outstanding ability and to motivate such employees, directors or consultants to exert their best efforts on behalf of KIS and KIS Affi liates by providing incentives through the granting of awards, including but not limited to, the KIS Options.

— 11 —

SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE KIS SCHEME

APPENDIX I

  • (ii) There is no general requirement on the minimum period for which a KIS Option must be held or the performance targets which must be achieved before it can be exercised under the terms of the KIS Scheme. However, at the time of granting any KIS Options, the KIS Committee may, on a case by case basis, make such grant subject to such conditions, restrictions or limitations including (without limitation) those in relation to the minimum period of the KIS Options to be held and/or the performance targets to be achieved as the KIS Committee may determine in its absolute discretion.

4. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE

The KIS Subscription Price in respect of any particular KIS Option shall be such price as determined by the KIS Committee in its absolute discretion but in any case shall be in compliance with the Listing Rules from time to time unless KIS ceases to be a subsidiary of the Company.

In the event that the Company resolves to seek a separate listing of KIS on the Main Board or GEM of the Stock Exchange or an overseas stock exchange, the KIS Subscription Price determined pursuant to the above paragraph granted after the Company resolves to seek such listing and up to the listing date of KIS must be adjusted to not lower than the new issue price of KIS upon such listing. In particular, any KIS Options granted during the period commencing six months before the lodgement of Form A1 (or its equivalent for listing on GEM or the overseas stock exchange) and up to the listing date of KIS are subject to the requirement set out in this paragraph. Such grant of KIS Options during such period shall also comply with the then applicable Listing Rules (or GEM Listing Rules).

5. EXERCISE OF OPTIONS

The KIS Committee may seek shareholders’ approval of the Company and KIS in general meeting for refreshing the 10% limit under the KIS Scheme save that the total number of the KIS Ordinary Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all options to be granted under the KIS Scheme and any other share option schemes of KIS under the limit as “refreshed” shall not exceed 10% of the total number of the KIS Ordinary Shares in issue as at the date of approval of the limit as “refreshed”. The KIS Options previously granted under the KIS Scheme or any other share option schemes of KIS (including the options outstanding, cancelled, lapsed or exercised in accordance with the terms of the KIS Scheme or any other share option schemes of KIS) will not be counted for the purpose of calculating the limit as “refreshed”. For the purpose of seeking the approval of the shareholders of the

The KIS Committee may seek separate approval of the shareholders of the Company and KIS in general meeting for granting the KIS Options beyond the 10% limit provided that the KIS Options in excess of the limit are granted only to the KIS Participants specifi cally identifi ed by the Company before such approval is sought.

APPENDIX I

If the KIS Committee determines to offer to grant the KIS Options to a substantial shareholder or an independent non-executive Director of the Company, or any of their respective associates, and that grant would result in the KIS Ordinary Shares issued and to be issued upon exercise of all KIS Options already granted and to be granted (including the KIS Options exercised, cancelled and outstanding) to such person under the KIS Scheme and any other share option schemes of KIS in the 12-month period up to and including the KIS Offer Date (i) representing in aggregate over 0.1%, or such other percentage as may be from time to time provided under the Listing Rules, of the KIS Ordinary Shares in issue on the KIS Offer Date; and (ii) (where the KIS Ordinary Shares are listed on the Stock Exchange), having an aggregate value, based on the closing price of the securities on the KIS Offer Date, in excess of HK$5 million. Such grant shall be subject to, in addition to the approval of the independent non-executive Director of the Company, the issue of a circular to the shareholders of the Company and KIS and separate approval of the shareholders of the Company and KIS by way of poll convened and held in accordance with the relevant memorandum of association and articles of association at which all connected persons of the Company or KIS shall abstain from voting in favor of the resolution concerning the grant of such KIS Options at the general meeting, and/or such other requirements prescribed under the Listing Rules from time to time. Unless provided otherwise under the Listing Rules, the date of the board meeting of KIS at which such KIS Board proposes to grant the proposed KIS Options to that eligible KIS Participant shall be taken as the KIS Offer Date for the purpose of calculating the KIS Subscription Price. Any change in the terms of the KIS Options granted to a substantial Shareholder or an independent non-executive Director, or any of their respective associates must be approved by the shareholders of the Company and KIS in their respective general meetings.

The circular to be issued to the shareholders of the Company and KIS shall contain the following information:

  • (a) the details of the number and terms (including the KIS Subscription Price) of the KIS Options to be granted to each such eligible KIS Participant, which must be fi xed before the shareholders’ meeting and the KIS Offer Date (which shall be the date of board meeting at which the KIS Committee proposes to grant the proposed KIS Options to that eligible KIS Participant);

  • (b) a recommendation from the independent non-executive Directors of the Company (excluding one who is the relevant KIS Participant) to the independent Shareholders of the Company as to voting;

Where KIS cancels the KIS Options to a KIS Participant and issues new ones to the same KIS Participant, the issue of such new KIS Options may only be made under the KIS Scheme with available unissued options (excluding the cancelled options) within the limited approved by the shareholders of the Company and KIS.

11. REORGANISATION OF CAPITAL STRUCTURE

In the event of a capitalization issue, rights issue, sub-division or consolidation of the KIS Ordinary Shares or reduction of capital of KIS (other than an issue of the KIS Ordinary Shares as consideration in respect of a transaction to which KIS is a party), the KIS Committee in its sole discretion and without liability to any person shall make such substitution or adjustment in the KIS Subscription Price or the number of the KIS Ordinary Shares subject to the KIS Options already granted and to the KIS Scheme in accordance with the requirement under Rule 17.03 (13) of the Listing Rules. Any adjustments shall be made on the basis that the proportion of the issued share capital of KIS to which a KIS Participant is entitled after such adjustments shall remain the same as that to which he/she was entitled before the occurrence of the event giving rise to such adjustments and no such adjustments shall be made the effect of which would be to enable any KIS Ordinary Share to be issued at less than its nominal value. The issue of securities of KIS as consideration in a transaction may not be regarded as a circumstance requiring an adjustment. An independent fi nancial adviser or auditors of KIS (acting as experts and not as arbitrators) must certify in writing to the KIS Committee and the Board that the adjustments satisfy the requirements of Rule 17.03(13) of the Listing Rules in respect of any such adjustments.

12. ALTERATION OR TERMINATION

The KIS Board may amend or alter the KIS Scheme, but no amendment or alteration shall be made, (a) without the approval of the shareholders of the KIS, if such action would (except as is provided in the section headed “11. Reorganisation of Capital Structure” in this appendix), increase the total number of the KIS Ordinary Shares reserved for the purposes of the KIS Scheme or change the maximum number of KIS Ordinary Shares for which KIS Options may be granted to any KIS Participant, in each case only to the extent such approval is required by the principal national securities exchange on which the KIS Ordinary Shares are listed or admitted to trading, or (b) without the consent of a KIS Participant, if such action would diminish any of the rights of the KIS Participant under any KIS Option theretofore granted to such KIS Participant under the KIS Scheme; provided, however, that the KIS Committee may amend the KIS Scheme in such manner as it deems necessary to permit the granting of the KIS Options meeting the requirements of any applicable laws. For the purpose of this paragraph, unless KIS ceases being a subsidiary of the Company, the abovementioned applicable laws shall include, but not be limited to, (a) the provisions relating to the matters set out in Rule 17.03 of the Listing Rules cannot be altered to the advantage of KIS Participants without the prior approval of the shareholders of the Company and KIS; (b) any alteration to the terms and conditions of the KIS Scheme which are of a material nature or any change to the terms of the KIS Options granted must be approved by the shareholders of the Company and KIS, except where the alterations take effect automatically under the existing terms of the KIS Scheme; (c) the amended terms of this KIS Scheme or the KIS Options shall remain in compliance with Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules, unless waived by the Stock Exchange; and (d) any change to the authority of the directors or the administrator of the KIS Scheme in relation to any alteration to the terms of the KIS Scheme must be separately approved by the shareholders of the Company and KIS.

Except with respect to amendments made pursuant to the above paragraph, no amendment or modifi cation of the KIS Scheme shall adversely affect in any material way any KIS Options previously granted pursuant to the KIS Scheme without the prior written consent of the KIS Participant.

KIS may by resolution in general meeting at any time terminate the operation of the KIS Scheme and in such event no further KIS Options will be offered, but the provisions of the KIS Scheme shall remain in full force and effect to the extent necessary to give effect to the exercise of any KIS Options (to the extent not already exercised) granted prior to the termination. The KIS Options (to the extent not already exercised) granted prior to such termination shall continue to be valid and exercisable in accordance with the KIS Scheme.

The Kingsoft Japan Ordinary Shares to be allotted upon the exercise of a Kingsoft Japan Option (i) shall not, prior to Kingsoft Japan’s initial public offering, be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, mortgaged, encumbered or otherwise disposed through one or a series of transactions, directly or indirectly, by any Kingsoft Japan Grantee (or his or her legal representative(s)) to any third party unless otherwise approved by the Kingsoft Japan Board in writing; and (ii) will be subject to all the provisions of the articles of association of Kingsoft Japan for the time being in force and will rank pari passu in all respects with and shall have the same voting, dividend, transfer and other rights, including those arising on liquidation of Kingsoft Japan as attached to the other fully paid Kingsoft Japan Ordinary Shares in issue as from the day when the name of the Kingsoft Japan Grantee is registered on the register of members of Kingsoft Japan and accordingly will entitle the holders to participate in all dividends or other distributions paid or made on or after the date when the name of the Kingsoft Japan Grantee is registered on the register of members of Kingsoft Japan other than any dividend or other distribution previously declared or recommended or resolved to be paid or made with respect to a record date which shall be before the date when the name of the Kingsoft Japan Grantee is registered on the register of members of Kingsoft Japan, provided always that when the date of exercise of the Kingsoft Japan Option falls on a day upon which the register of members of Kingsoft Japan is closed then the exercise of the Kingsoft Japan Option shall become effective on the fi rst Business Day on which the register of members of Kingsoft Japan is re-opened. A Kingsoft Japan Ordinary Share allotted upon the exercise of a Kingsoft Japan Option shall not carry voting rights until the completion of the registration of the Kingsoft Japan Grantee as the holder thereof.

The Kingsoft Japan Grantee shall, unless otherwise approved by the Kingsoft Japan Board in writing, irrevocably and unconditionally constitute and appoint Mr. Yongbiao Weng (翁永飆) or any other director of Kingsoft Japan serving as an eligible employee of Kingsoft Japan as determined by the Kingsoft Japan Board from time to time with full power of substitution as the Kingsoft Japan Grantee’s true and lawful attorney and irrevocable proxy, for and on behalf of the Kingsoft Japan Grantee, to vote each of the Kingsoft Japan Ordinary Shares allotted to him/her upon the exercise of a Kingsoft Japan Option as the Kingsoft Japan Grantee’s proxy, at every meeting of the shareholders of Kingsoft Japan or any adjournment thereof or in connection with any written consent of Kingsoft Japan’s shareholders. The foregoing proxy shall be irrevocable and coupled with an interest prior to Kingsoft Japan’s initial public offering, and shall automatically terminate upon Kingsoft Japan’s initial public offering.

Mr. Yongbiao Weng (翁永飆) is the director of Kingsoft Japan. The main reason why Mr. Yongbiao Weng (翁永飆) is appointed to be the Kingsoft Japan Grantee’s proxy is to manage voting process more effi ciently. Since there will be many Kingsoft Japan Grantees, each of the Kingsoft Japan Grantee will hold very small percentage of voting power. While the Kingsoft Japan Grantee is still entitle to economic benefi t of the Kingsoft Japan Ordinary Shares he/she holds, the voting power of the Kingsoft Japan Ordinary Shares has little effect on the Kingsoft Japan Grantee. It is easier for the Kingsoft Japan Grantees to appoint one person to be their proxy who is also a trustworthy person in Kingsoft Japan. If there is not such appointment in place, the voting at Kingsoft Japan shareholders’ meeting would be scattered and diffi cult to manage.

Kingsoft Japan Options previously granted under this Kingsoft Japan Scheme or any other share option schemes of Kingsoft Japan (including Kingsoft Japan Options outstanding, cancelled, lapsed or exercised in accordance with the terms of this Kingsoft Japan Scheme or any other share option schemes of Kingsoft Japan) will not be counted for the purpose of calculating the limit as “refreshed”. For the purpose of seeking the approval of shareholders of the Company and Kingsoft Japan under this paragraph, a circular containing the information as required under the Listing Rules must be sent to the shareholders of the Company and Kingsoft Japan.

A circular must be sent to the shareholders of the Company and Kingsoft Japan and the circular must disclose the identity of the Kingsoft Japan Participant, the number and terms of the Kingsoft Japan Options to be granted and Kingsoft Japan Options previously granted to such Kingsoft Japan Participant and the information as required under the Listing Rules and the disclaimer required under Rule 17.02(4) of the Listing Rules.

11. CANCELLATION OF OPTIONS

Any cancellation of Kingsoft Japan Options granted but not exercised shall require approval of the Kingsoft Japan Board with the relevant Kingsoft Japan Grantees and their associates abstaining from voting.

Any vote taken at the meeting to approve such cancellation must be taken by poll.

For the avoidance of doubt, Kingsoft Japan Options which have been exercised shall not be included as cancelled Kingsoft Japan Options.

12. REORGANISATION OF CAPITAL STRUCTURE

In the event of a capitalization issue, (including a bonus issue), rights issue, consolidation or sub-division of shares or reduction of capital (other than an issue of Kingsoft Japan Ordinary Shares as consideration in respect of a transaction to which Kingsoft Japan is a party), such corresponding adjustments (if any) shall be made in:

  • (i) the number of Kingsoft Japan Ordinary Shares subject to the Kingsoft Japan Options so far as unexercised; and/or

  • (a) In the event of a sub-division of shares, capitalization issue, (including a bonus issue), or consolidation of shares, the number of shares to be issued upon exercising each Kingsoft Japan Option that remains unexercised, shall be adjusted according to the following formula, with any fraction less than one percent of a share resulting from this adjustment rounded down, and without any cash compensation. For the purpose of these terms, (i) subdivision ratio shall mean a fraction of which the denominator is the total number of shares issued and outstanding before the sub-division and the numerator is the total number of shares issued and outstanding after the sub-division, (ii) capitalization ratio shall mean a fraction of which the denominator is the total number of shares issued and outstanding before the capitalization issue (including a bonus issue) and the numerator is the total number of shares issued and outstanding after the capitalization issue (including a bonus issue), and (iii) consolidation ratio shall mean a fraction of which the denominator is the total number of shares issued and outstanding before the consolidation and the numerator is the total number of shares issued and outstanding after the consolidation (the same shall apply hereinafter). The number of shares adjusted this way shall apply, (i) in cases of a subdivision of shares, on and after the date following the base allotment date under Section 183(2)(i) of the Japanese Company Law, (ii) in cases of a capitalization issue (including a bonus issue), on and after the date following the base date for allotment if such a base date is fi xed, or on and after the date following that effective date of the capitalization issue (including a bonus issue) if a base date is not fi xed, and (iii) in cases of a consolidation of shares, on and after the date following this effective date.

Number of shares subject to the Kingsoft Japan Options after adjustment = Number of shares subject to the Kingsoft Japan Options before adjustment × Ratio of the sub-division, capitalization or consolidation (as the case may be)

APPENDIX II SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE KINGSOFT JAPAN SCHEME

  • (b) Kingsoft Japan may adjust the number of shares to be issued upon exercise of each Kingsoft Japan Option, in cases of a rights issue reasonably and in compliance with all applicable Listing Rules and other laws and regulations.

  • (a) In the event of a sub-division of shares, capitalization issue, (including a bonus issue), or consolidation of shares, the Kingsoft Japan Subscription Price for each Kingsoft Japan Option that remains unexercised shall be adjusted according to the following formula, with any fraction less than one yen resulting from this adjustment counted as one yen. With respect to the time of application, paragraph 12(i)(a) which refers to the adjusted number of shares to be issued upon exercise of each Kingsoft Japan Option shall also mutatis mutandis apply to that of this adjusted Kingsoft Japan Subscription Price.

Kingsoft Japan Subscription Price after adjustment = Kingsoft Japan Subscription Price before adjustment × 1/Ratio of sub-division, capitalization or consolidation (as the case may be)

  • (b) The Kingsoft Japan Options that remain unexercised shall be adjusted according to the following formula, with any fraction less than one yen resulting from this adjustment counted as one yen, in the event of a rights issue involving (1) any new shares to be issued or (2) any treasury shares to be disposed of by Kingsoft Japan, with the rights issue price per share less than the current value (current value approximately mean (1) until Kingsoft Japan’s initial public offering, the Kingsoft Japan Subscription Price immediately prior to the adjustment, and (2) after the Kingsoft Japan’s initial public offering, the market price of the Kingsoft Japan Ordinary Shares on the date before the base date for the rights issue, or if there is no such base date, on the date before the last date on which the shareholders of Kingsoft Japan may be eligible to participate in the rights issue, or, in the event that Kingsoft Japan Ordinary Shares are listed on the Stock Exchange, the closing price as shown in the daily quotation sheet of the Stock Exchange on the last day of trading before going ex-entitlement).

The Kingsoft Japan Subscription Price adjusted in this way shall be applicable (1) on and after the date following the base date for offerings or allotment if such a base date is fi xed, or (2) on and after the date following that effective date (or the end of the period specifi ed under Item 2 of Article 209 of the Japanese Company Law) of the issuance of shares if a

APPENDIX II SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE KINGSOFT JAPAN SCHEME

“Number of shares to be issued” shall, in the case a rights issue in the form of disposition of treasury shares by Kingsoft Japan, be read as “number of treasury shares to be disposed of” with regard to the treasury shares to be disposed of by Kingsoft Japan in the event of adjustment due to any such disposition.

  • (iii) the maximum number of Kingsoft Japan Ordinary Shares referred to in paragraph 9,

provided that any adjustments referred to in the paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) above shall be made on the basis that the proportion of the issued and outstanding share capital of Kingsoft Japan to which a Kingsoft Japan Grantee is entitled after such adjustments shall remain the same as or be less than that to which he/ she was entitled before the occurrence of the event giving rise to such adjustments and no such adjustments will be required in circumstances where there is an issue of Kingsoft Japan Ordinary Shares or other securities of Kingsoft Japan and its subsidiaries as consideration in a transaction.

In addition, in respect of any such adjustments as provided in this paragraph, other than any made on a capitalization issue (including a bonus issue), an independent fi nancial adviser or the auditors of Kingsoft Japan must confi rm in writing to the Board and the Kingsoft Japan Board that the adjustment satisfy the requirements of the relevant provision of the Listing Rules.

The capacity of the independent fi nancial adviser or the auditors of Kingsoft Japan in this paragraph is that of experts and not of arbitrators and their certifi cation shall be fi nal and binding on Kingsoft Japan and the Kingsoft Japan Grantees.

The costs of the independent fi nancial advisers or the auditors of Kingsoft Japan shall be borne by Kingsoft Japan.

Kingsoft Japan must provide to all Kingsoft Japan Grantees all details relating to changes in the terms of the Kingsoft Japan Scheme during the life of the Kingsoft Japan Scheme.

14. TERMINATION

Kingsoft Japan may by resolution in general meeting at any time terminate the operation of the Kingsoft Japan Scheme and in such event no further Kingsoft Japan Options will be offered but the provisions of the Kingsoft Japan Scheme shall remain in full force and effect to the extent necessary to give effect to the exercise of any Kingsoft Japan Options (to the extent not already exercised) granted prior to the termination.
