On March 30, 2016, the incumbent directors, Messrs. Richard Lim and Ye Yuan, resigned. On the same day, Yan and Dr. Gang Yu, who is an executive director and co-Chairman of the Board of Parent, were appointed to the board of the Issuer.

Board Rights. Further, per the IR Agreement, as long as the Investors beneficially own the Minimum Percentage, E-commerce is entitled to nominate one director for appointment or election to the Issuer's board. And, as long as the Investors beneficially own 1.5 times the Minimum Percentage, E-commerce is entitled to nominate two directors for appointment or election to the Issuer's board.

issued pursuant to the Warrant (the "Warrant Shares") until the 6 month anniversary of March 30, 2016 other than a transfer to an affiliate of E-commerce. Written notice must be provided to the Issuer's board if E-commerce proposes, directly or indirectly, to sell, transfer, or assign an amount of Subscription or Warrant Shares representing 5% or more of the Issuer's outstanding share capital to any other shareholder of the Issuer who, prior the transfer, holds 10% or more of the Issuer's outstanding share capital in an unregistered transaction under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Further, the Issuer's board must approve any transaction whereby E-commerce proposes, directly or indirectly, to sell, transfer, or assign an amount of Subscription or Warrant Shares representing 10% or more of the Issuer's outstanding share capital to any other shareholder of the Issuer who, prior to the transfer, holds 15% or more of the Issuer's outstanding share capital (calculated on a fully-diluted basis) in an unregistered transaction under the Securities Act. The Issuer's board must also approve any transaction whereby E-commerce proposes, directly or indirectly, to sell, transfer, or assign any of the Subscription or Warrant Shares in an unregistered transaction under the Securities Act to a competitor of the Issuer and E-commerce holds Ordinary Shares or ADSs (including Warrant Shares) representing 5% or more of the Issuer's outstanding share capital.
Other Restrictions. Subject to the terms of the IR Agreement and certain exceptions contained therein, neither Guo nor Wincore may directly or indirectly sell, transfer, or assign any equity securities of the Issuer held by them without the prior written consent of E-commerce for a period of 2 years from March 30, 2016.
Pre-emptive Right. E-commerce has the pre-emptive right to purchase up to E-commerce's pro-rata share of new securities of the Issuer if the Issuer proposes to undertake an allotment and issuance of new securities either for a per Ordinary Share issue price of less than US$5.40 or under certain circumstances approved by the Issuer's board.
Stand-still Arrangement. Unless otherwise permitted by the terms of the IR Agreement, E-commerce or its controlled affiliates may not, without the prior written approval of the Issuer's board, directly or indirectly, whether acting alone or as part of a group or otherwise in concert with others: (i) acquire or enter into any agreement with any third party with respect the acquisition of additional voting securities of the Issuer by E-commerce or its controlled affiliates that will result in E-commerce or its controlled affiliates holding, in the aggregate more than 45% of the Issuer's outstanding share capital calculated on a fully-diluted basis and including the Warrant Shares, (ii) advise, assist, or act as a financing source for, or otherwise invest in, any other person for the purpose described in (i), or (iii) publicly disclose any intention, plan, or arrangement with respect to any of the foregoing. Further, the Issuer's board must approve any proposed transaction whereby, after March 30, 2016, E-commerce and/or its controlled affiliates proposes to acquire any additional voting securities of the Issuer such that immediately after the acquisition E-commerce and/or its controlled affiliates shall become holder(s) of 45% or more of the Issuer's outstanding share capital calculated on a fully-diluted basis.
Registration Rights. E-commerce is entitled to customary registration rights under U.S. securities laws with respect to the Subscription Shares.
