Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, other than (a) the Excluded Shares (as defined below) and (b) the Shares held by shareholders who have validly exercised and not effectively withdrawn or lost their rights to dissent from the Merger in accordance with Section 238 of the Cayman Islands Companies Law, will be cancelled in consideration for the right to receive US$0.18875 in cash per Share without interest.

If the Merger is consummated, the Issuer’s ADSs would be delisted from the NASDAQ Global Select Market, and the Issuer’s obligation to file periodic reports under the Act would terminate. In addition, consummation of the Merger could result in one or more of the actions specified in clauses (a)-(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, including the acquisition or disposition of securities of the Issuer, a merger or other extraordinary transaction involving the Issuer, a change to the board of directors of the Issuer (as the surviving company in the Merger), and a change in the Issuer’s memorandum and articles of association to reflect that the Issuer would become a privately held company.
