Limited (the “Purchaser”), at the request of the Purchaser in connection with its tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase all of the issued and outstanding class A ordinary shares of the Issuer (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), including all Class A Ordinary Shares represented by American depositary shares of the Issuer (“ADSs”).

Pursuant to Rule 13d-5(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”), the Reporting Persons may, by reason of the entry into the Standstill Agreement, be deemed collectively to beneficially own the total of 12,323,424 Class A Ordinary Shares as a “group” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b) under the Act), which constitute approximately 19.9% of the outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares (and 5.9% of the total outstanding shares of the Issuer).  However, each Reporting Person expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of any Class A Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the other Associates and the Purchaser, and does not affirm membership in a “group” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b) under the Act) with the other Associates and the Purchaser, and this Schedule 13D should not be construed as acknowledging that any of the Reporting Persons beneficially owns any Class A Ordinary Shares directly or indirectly held by the other Associates and the Purchaser or is a member of a group with the other Associates and the Purchaser.
