IMPLICATION UNDER THE LISTING RULES

Mr. Hu, an executive Director of the Company, is a connected person of the Company. As Mr. Hu ultimately owns the entire issued share capital of Great First, Great First is an associate of a connected person of the Company. Accordingly, the entering into of the Great First Target Equity Transfer Agreement with Great First and the transactions contemplated thereunder constitute a connected transaction of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. As certain applicable percentage ratios (as defined in Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) in respect of the Great First Target Equity Transfer exceed 0.1% but all of them are less than 5%, the entering into of the Great First Target Equity Transfer Agreement with Great First is subject to the reporting and announcement requirements but is exempted from the independent Shareholders' approval requirement under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

As all of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined in Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) in respect of the Great First Target Equity Transfer, when aggregated with the Target Equity Transfers by Ningbo Junyuan and Super Bright, are less than 5%, the entering into of the Target Equity Transfer Agreements with such Existing Shareholders does not constitute a notifiable transaction under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
