(“Far EasTone”) pursuant to which, the Company agreed to, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, subscribe for 444,341,020 shares in Far EasTone (the “Share Subscription”).

In response to the development needs of the telecommunications industry in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, the Company and Far EasTone have developed a close working relationship. With technological advancement and the increasing diversified demands from customers, it is expected that there will be a growing demand for more and better telecommunication products. The Company therefore considers that it will be beneficial to the Company to continue to pursue and explore broad-based cooperation with Far EasTone in new areas, products and contents in the development of its telecommunications business and accordingly, the Company and Far EasTone have entered into a business cooperation framework agreement on 18 April 2013 to jointly explore opportunities to continue broad-based cooperation in a number of areas in mobile telecommunications businesses in the future and, upon Taiwan laws and regulations opening up the class 1 telecom services sector for investments by Mainland China funded enterprises, the parties may reconsider the possibility of equity cooperation.
