Pursuant to a deed of acting in concert, each of the ultimate controlling shareholders of the Company, i.e. Mr. Zhao Weihao, Mr. Zhao Bin, being the father of Mr. Zhao Weihao and Ms. Wu Hong, being the spouse of Mr. Zhao Bin, had confirmed, among other things, the existence of their acting in concert arrangements in the past and their intention to continue act in concert.
