  1. BACKGROUND
    Since Mr. Xing did not perform certain obligations under the Notarised Documents of Creditor's Rights arising from share pledge repurchase transactions in relation to the A Shares, the Shanghai Financial Court auctioned all the 141,600,000 A Shares (all being restricted shares) on the Judicial Execution Platform on 5 March 2021, representing 25.85% of the total issued share capital of the Company. According to the auction results displayed on the Judicial Execution Platform, all of the 141,600,000 A Shares were successfully bid, 40,000,000 and 21,600,000 of which were ordered to be transferred to Shanghai Qijin and Shanghai Wensheng respectively. The transfers were completed on 25 March 2021. Separately, the Shanghai Financial Court held that, since some of the successful bidders failed to pay their corresponding transaction balance in full within the specified period, 80,000,000 of the 141,600,000 A Shares held by Mr. Xing have not been disposed of successfully. Therefore, the Court re-commenced the disposal process in respect of these 80,000,000 A Shares and auctioned these 80,000,000 A Shares on the Judicial Execution Platform on 16 April 2021. According to the auction result displayed on the Judicial Execution Platform and the Execution Ruling received by the Company from Haitong Securities Asset Management No. 1 FOF Single
    Asset Management Plan of the Series Supporting Private Enterprises on behalf of the Securities Industry* (證券行業支持民企系列) managed by Haitong Securities Asset Management Co., Ltd.* (上海海通證券資產管理有限公司) ("Haitong Securities"), all of the 80,000,000 A Shares were successfully bid and shall be transferred to the successful bidder. For details, please refer to the Announcements.
