FURTHER INFORMATION ON THE STRUCTURE OF THE FUND AND THE MASTER FUND

The Fund is organised as a feeder fund and is an exempted company incorporated with limited liability in the Cayman Islands. It was incorporated on 16 July 2014. It has been structured as an open-ended investment company. All the assets of the Fund will be invested in the Class A Master Fund Shares although initially, the Fund will make investments into assets other than the Master Fund. Such investments will be in pursuit of the investment objective of the Master Fund and such assets will be used to subscribe, in-kind, for Class A Master Fund Shares in due course. The Fund has an authorised share capital of US$50,000 divided into 100 Founder Shares of US$0.01 par value each and 4,999,900 participating shares of US$0.01 par value each which may be issued as Shares of the Fund.

The Master Fund is also an exempted company incorporated with limited liability in the Cayman Islands. It was incorporated on 16 April 2015. It is not expected that any direct investments will be made in the Master Fund other than by feeder funds, save for direct investments by strategic investors and/or connected persons which directors of the Fund and/or the Master Fund may in their sole discretion permit. The Master Fund has an authorised share capital of US$50,000 divided into 100 Founder Shares of US$0.01 par value each and 4,999,900 participating shares of US$0.01 par value each.

The Founder Shares, which are the voting shares, are held by the Manager. Class A Shares, Class M Shares, Class A Master Fund Shares and Class M Master Fund Shares are non-voting shares.

Class A Shares are available for subscription by new investors. Class M Shares are closed to new investors (except as the directors of the Fund and/or the Master Fund may in their sole discretion permit) and are only available for subscription by the directors of the Fund and/or the Master Fund, the Manager, its shareholders or any of its directors or employees, the Investment Manager, its shareholders or any of its directors or employees, any person connected with any such person, any company, partnership or other person or entity controlled by or which is the controller of any such persons and any nominee of any of the foregoing. For Class A Master Fund Shares, only the Fund may invest in it. Class M Master Fund Shares are also closed to new investors and may only be issued to strategic investors and/or connected persons which the directors of the Fund and/or the Master Fund may in their sole discretion permit. Given that only Class A Shares are available for subscription by new investors, the Subscriber may only invest in the Fund and, indirectly, in the Master Fund by subscribing Class A Shares.

Shares of the Fund and the Master Fund (i.e. Class A Shares, Class M Shares, Class A Master Shares and Class M Master Shares) carry an equal right to dividends and other distributions as the directors of the Fund and/or the Master Fund may declare.

On a winding-up, Shares of the Fund and the Master Fund are entitled, in priority to the Founder Shares, to the return of the capital paid up thereon. The surplus assets of the Fund attributable to each class of shares will be distributed among the holders of shares of that class according to the number of shares held by each of them.

In relation to Special Situation Shares, they are non-voting shares issued by the Fund with respect to a Special Situation Investment (subject to the approval of the directors of the Fund and/or the Master Fund) in exchange for Shares of the Fund. The Fund (through investments made by the Master Fund) may make investments which are considered to be illiquid and/or lacking a readily available market value. Each such investment will be designated as a Special Situation Investment. At any time that the Fund (through investments made by the Master Fund) makes a Special Situation Investment, a portion of the shares of the Fund held by a shareholder will automatically be converted into the number of Special Situation Shares corresponding to the proportional interest of such shareholder of

the Fund in the relevant Special Situation Investment. The Master Fund will further create corresponding shares on terms correspond to the Special Situation Shares of the Fund, so that each time there is an exchange of Shares of the Fund for a class of Special Situation Shares with respect to any Special Situation Investment, an exchange of the corresponding class of shares of the Master Fund will be effected. Special Situation Shares will participate only in the gains and losses arising from the relevant Special Situation Investment (in which other classes of Special Situation Shares and Shares of the Fund will not participate). It is the intention of the Fund that participation in Special Situation Investments by any class of shares would be restricted to no more than 50% of the net asset value of the relevant class of shares.

FURTHER INFORMATION ON THE REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE SUBSCRIPTION

One of the principal business activities of the Group is investment in financial instruments. The Group is committed to seeking for different investment opportunities that would diversify its investment portfolio and would enhance the value of the Group.

Firstly, taking into account that the Master Fund will invest in a wide range of instruments worldwide, the Directors believe that the Subscription helps broadening and diversifying the investment portfolio of the Group and enhances the value of the Group.

Secondly, with the background and experience of Mr. Liu and Ms. Zhang as mentioned above, the Directors are of the view that the Subscription provides the benefits of seeking investment returns through the Fund operated by professionals specialised in the financial market.

Thirdly, the Directors are of the view that the Subscription is intended for capital appreciation. Notwithstanding the dividend policy of the Fund, the Directors considered that the flexibility of the redemption mechanism of the Subscription allows the Group to maintain liquidity position in case of financial needs arise. And the Subscription can offer a better return to the Group when compared to the deposit interest rates offered by banks in Hong Kong.

Fourthly, the Subscription Amount of US$15 million will not affect the business operations of the Group as the Subscription Amount has taken into account the Group's cash flows. The funding of the Subscription Amount of US$15 million accounts for approximately 13% of the cash and bank balance of the Group and the Group still has a substantive cash reserve after the Subscription.
