At the extraordinary general meeting, the shareholders of the Company voted to authorize and approve the merger agreement, the plan of merger substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A to the merger agreement (the “plan of merger”) and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger.

On May 31, 2016 (Cayman Islands time), the Company and Merger Sub filed the plan of merger with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies, pursuant to which the merger became effective on May 31, 2016. As a result of the merger, the Company ceased to be a publicly traded company and became wholly owned by Parent.

At the effective time of the merger (the “Effective Time”), (a) each outstanding Share, other than (i) 25,440,699 Ordinary Shares and 33,589,204 High-Vote Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Rollover Shareholders (such Shares collectively, the “Rollover Shares”), (ii) Shares (including Shares represented by ADSs) owned by Parent, the Company, or their respective direct or indirect subsidiaries, (iii) Shares (including Shares represented by ADSs) held by the ADS depositary (as defined below) reserved for the issuance, settlement and allocation upon exercise or vesting of Company Options and/or Company RSU Awards (each as defined below) under the Company Equity Plans (as defined below) (Shares described under (i) through (iii) above are collectively referred to herein as the “Excluded Shares”), (iv) Shares owned by shareholders who have validly exercised and have not effectively withdrawn or lost their dissenters’ rights under the Cayman Islands Companies Law (the “Dissenting Shares”) and (v) Shares represented by ADSs, has been cancelled in exchange for the right to receive $9.00 in cash without interest (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”), and (b) each issued and outstanding ADS together with the Shares underlying such ADS (other than any ADS representing Excluded Shares) has been cancelled in exchange for the right to receive $18.00 in cash per ADS without interest (the “Per ADS Consideration”) (less $0.05 per ADS cancellation fees pursuant to the terms of the amended and restated deposit agreement, dated as of July 15, 2014, by and among the Company, J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., (the “ADS depositary”) and the holders from time to time of ADSs issued thereunder), in each case, net of any applicable withholding taxes described in the merger agreement. Each Excluded Share has been cancelled for no consideration. Each Dissenting Share has been cancelled and each holder thereof is entitled to receive the fair value of such Dissenting Share as determined in accordance with, and subject to compliance with, the Cayman Islands Companies Law.

At the Effective Time, each outstanding fully vested option to purchase Shares (each a “Company Option”) granted under the Company’s 2009 Share and Annual Incentive Plan, as amended in September 2013, and the Stock and Annual Incentive Plan adopted in July 2004 (together, the “Company Equity Plans”), other than the vested Company Options held by the Executive Equityholders (as defined below), has been cancelled and immediately converted into the right to receive in exchange therefor an amount of cash (the “Option Consideration”) equal to (a) the excess, if any, of (i) the Per Share Merger Consideration over (ii) the exercise price per Ordinary Share subject to such Company Option, multiplied by (b) the number of Ordinary Shares underlying such Company Option, provided that if the exercise price of any such Company Option is equal to or greater than the Per Share Merger Consideration, such Company Option has been cancelled without any payment therefor.

At the Effective Time, each outstanding fully vested restricted share unit (each a “Company RSU Award”) granted under the Company Equity Plans, other than the vested Company RSU Awards held by the Executive Equityholders (as defined below), has been cancelled and immediately converted into the right to receive in exchange therefor an amount of cash (the “RSU Award Consideration”) equal to (a) the Per Share Merger Consideration multiplied by (b) the number of Ordinary Shares underlying such Company RSU Award.

At the Effective Time, each outstanding unvested Company Option granted under the Company Equity Plans, other than the unvested Company Options held by the Executive Equityholders (as defined below), has been cancelled and immediately converted into the right to receive in exchange therefor an award of options to purchase (each a “Parent Option” and collectively, the “Parent Options”) (a) the same number of Parent common shares as the total number of Ordinary Shares subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, (b) at a per-share exercise price equal to the exercise price per Ordinary Share at which such Company Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time, subject to and in accordance

with the terms of the applicable Company Equity Plan and award agreement, and subject further, if applicable, to adjustments in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement to provide substantially the same economic terms of such Company Option.

At the Effective Time, each outstanding unvested Company RSU Award granted under the Company Equity Plans, other than the unvested Company RSU Awards held by the Executive Equityholders (as defined below) and the unvested Company RSU Awards held by the Former CEO (as defined below), has been cancelled and immediately converted into the right to receive in exchange therefor an award of Parent restricted share units (each a “Parent RSU Award” and collectively, the “Parent RSU Awards”) to acquire the same number of Parent common shares as the total number of Ordinary Shares subject to such Company RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, subject to and in accordance with the terms of the applicable Company Equity Plan and award agreement, and subject further, if applicable, to adjustments in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement to provide substantially the same economic terms of such Company RSU Award.

At the Effective Time, each outstanding Company Option held by certain members of the Company’s executive management (each an “Executive Equityholder” and collectively, the “Executive Equityholders”), has been cancelled and immediately converted into the right to receive in exchange therefor, either the Option Consideration (if any) or a Parent Option, as specified in, and in accordance with, the relevant agreement among each such Executive Equityholder, Parent and Merger Sub (each an “Executive Excluded Securities Letter”). At the Effective Time, each outstanding Company RSU Award held by each Executive Equityholder, has been cancelled and immediately converted into the right to receive in exchange therefor, either the RSU Award Consideration or a Parent RSU Award, as specified in, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the relevant Executive Excluded Securities Letter of such Executive Equityholder.

At the Effective Time, each outstanding Company RSU Award held by the Company’s former chief executive officer, Guangfu Cui (the “Former CEO”), has been cancelled and immediately converted into the right to receive in exchange therefor, the RSU Award Consideration, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the merger agreement.

As a result of the merger, the ADSs will no longer be listed on any securities exchange or quotation system, including the NASDAQ Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”) and the ADS program for the Shares will terminate. The Company has requested NASDAQ to file an application on Form 25 with the SEC to remove the ADSs from listing on NASDAQ and withdraw registration of the Shares under the Exchange Act. The deregistration will become effective 90 days after the filing of the Form 25 or such shorter period as may be determined by the SEC. The Company intends to suspend its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act by filing a certification and notice on Form 15 with the SEC in approximately ten days. The Company’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act will be suspended immediately as of the filing date of the Form 15 and will terminate once the deregistration becomes effective.
