BASIS FOR DETERMINING THE CONSIDERATION

The directors (including independent non-executive directors) confirm that, the consideration of RMB200 million for the subscription for the Structured Deposit has been determined by the Company and Chengdu No.1 Sub-branch of CCB on the basis of arm's length negotiations on commercial terms after considering the idle cash that is available to the Group for cash management purposes, the product's risks, investment terms and the annualised rate of return.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE SUBSCRIPTION

In order to enhance the capital efficiency as well as the return of the capital operation, the Group reasonably utilised its idle funds to subscribe for the Structured Deposit issued by CCB. Taking into account, among others, (i) the nature of principal-guaranteed with floating return; (ii) low risk; (iii) expected rate of return; and (iv) short term of 119 days of the Structured Deposit of CCB, the Group believes the use of idle funds to subscribe for the Structured Deposit of CCB will have higher returns on deposits than those generally available from commercial banks and is conducive to improving the efficiency of the Group's own idle funds and increasing the Group's additional income without adversely affecting its normal operations, main business development and the rights and interests of investors. The condition of the Structured Deposit will be closely and effectively monitored by the Company. The directors (including independent non-executive directors) are of the view that, the subscription for the Structured Deposit is conducted on normal commercial terms, which are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
