2 C LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS TieTong is currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of CMCC, the ultimate controlling shareholder of the Company. Thereby, TieTong is a connected person of the Company pursuant to Rule 14A.07 of the Listing Rules. Therefore, the entering into the Acquisition Agreement by CM TieTong and the Acquisition itself constitute a connected transaction for the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. As at least one relevant percentage ratio applicable to the Acquisition is or exceeds 0.1% but is less than 5%, the Acquisition is subject to the reporting and announcement requirements but exempt from the independent shareholders'
approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. WARNING: The completion of the Acquisition is subject to the satisfaction (or, if applicable, waiver) of certain conditions set forth in the section headed Conditions Precedent in this announcement, and hence the completion of the Acquisition may or may not happen. Shareholders, holders of ADSs and potential investors of the Company should therefore exercise caution when dealing in the Shares, ADSs or other securities of the Company. Persons who are in doubt as to the action they should take should consult their stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor or other professional advisers. INTRODUCTION On
