REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE TRANSACTION

The transaction contemplated under the Renewed Subscription Agreement is principal-guaranteed upon maturity. The Directors are of the view that (i) the transaction contemplated under the Renewed Subscription Agreement provides the Group with a better return than demand deposits generally offered by PRC commercial banks; (ii) the transaction contemplated under the Renewed Subscription Agreement is funded from the Group's temporarily idle funds, which would not affect the working capital or the operation of the Group; and (iii) the investment return in connection with the transaction contemplated under the Renewed Subscription Agreement increases the Group's earnings.

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