REASONS FOR THE AMENDMENTS TO THE NON-PUBLIC ISSUANCE OF A SHARES

On the same date, the CSRC also promulgated the Supervision Q&A on Issuance — Regulatory Requirements relating to Guidance on Standardizing Financing Activities of Listed — Companies 《發行監管問答( 關於引導規範上市公司融資行為的監管要求》), according to which, the number of shares proposed to be issued by a listed company by way of non-public issuance shall not exceed 20% of the total number of issued shares immediately before the non-public issuance. The Amendments to the Non-public Issuance of A Shares could better conform to the relevant new requirements under the Implementation Rules for the Non-public Issue of Shares by Listed Companies (Amended in 2017) 《上市公司非公開發行股票實施( 細則(2017 修訂)》) and the Supervision Q&A on Issuance — Regulatory Requirements relating to Guidance on Standardizing Financing Activities of Listed — Companies 《發行監管問答( 關於引導規範上市公司融資行為的監管要求》).
