REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE TRANSACTION

The Group entered into the Deposit Agreement with Sanxiang Bank because (i) the major terms and expected annual interest rate provided by Sanxiang Bank are no less favorable than similar deposits provided by other PRC commercial banks and (ii) taking into account the relationship of the Company with Sanxiang Bank, the Company can get a well understanding and update of the operation status of Sanxiang Bank on a timely manner, which will make the potential risks arising from such structured deposits more controllable to the Company than those provided by independent financial institutions.

Accordingly, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) believe that the transaction contemplated under the Deposit Agreement is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.

None of the Directors has a material interest in the transaction contemplated under the Deposit Agreement or are required to abstain from voting on the Board resolutions for considering and approving the same.
