This Transaction Statement relates to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated April 10, 2017 (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”) among the Company and the Purchaser Parties.

The board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) (other than Messrs. Qisen Huang, Heping Feng and Tao Zhang, who recused themselves from the vote of the Board), acting upon the recommendation of a special committee of independent and disinterested directors previously appointed (the “Special Committee”), has unanimously (a) determined that the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (together with the Merger, the “Contemplated Transactions”) are advisable and in the best interests of the Company and the Company’s stockholders (other than the Purchaser Parties and any “affiliate” (within the meaning of Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) of any of the Purchaser Parties, or affiliates of Alliance, including its officers and directors), (b) approved the Merger Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions, including the Merger, and (c) resolved to recommend that the stockholders of the Company approve the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the Merger.

Concurrently with the filing of this Transaction Statement, the Company is filing with the SEC a definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act. The Board will solicit proxies from the stockholders of the Company in connection with the Merger pursuant to the definitive version of the Proxy Statement.
