As a result of the exercise of the Put Option by Mr. Brachmann with the consent of the Company in accordance with the terms of the Option Agreement, Lenovo Germany will purchase all 8,874,016 Option Shares from Mr. Brachmann at a purchase price of EUR13.00 per Option Share.

The issue price for each Consideration Share equals to HK$6.485, being the volume-weighted average price of the shares of the Company on the Stock Exchange for the last 5 trading days prior to the date of this announcement. The Cash Consideration payable by Lenovo Germany at closing of the transaction (the “ Closing ”) will be adjusted to reflect the difference, if any, between the issue price of HK$6.485 and the volumeweighted average price of the shares of the Company on the Stock Exchange for the last 5 trading days prior to Closing.
