  (1) For the individual shareholders (including securities investment funds) holding the Company’s unrestricted A shares, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Circular on Issues Concerning Implementing Differentiated Individual Income Tax Policies for Dividends and Bonuses from Stocks of Listing Companies (Cai Shui [2012] No. 85), a cash dividend of RMB0.0393 per share will be distributed after an individual income tax is withheld at a 5% tax rate first; for a shareholder whose actual shareholding period (which means a continuous period from the date when an individual shareholder acquires a listed company’s stocks from public offering or the transfer market to the date before the date when the stocks are transferred and settled) is within one month (inclusive), the actual tax rate will be 20%; if the shareholding period is more than one month but less than one year (inclusive), the actual tax rate will be 10%; and if the shareholding period is more than one year, the actual tax rate will be 5%. In the event of share transfer by an individual (including securities investment funds), CSDCC Shanghai will calculate the actual tax payable according to such individual’s shareholding period; the part in excess of the tax already withheld will be withheld from the capital account of such individual (including securities investment funds) and paid to CSDCC Shanghai by share depositary such as securities company; CSDCC Shanghai will transfer such part of tax to the Company within five business days of the next month; and the Company will declare and pay such part of tax to the competent tax authority within the statutory declaration period in the month of the Company’s receipt of the tax.

 

  (2) For the restricted A shareholders, in accordance with provisions of the Circular on Issues Concerning Implementing Differentiated Individual Income Tax Policies for Dividends and Bonuses from Stocks of Listing Companies (Cai Shui [2012] No. 85), a cash dividend of RMB0.0286 per share will be distributed after individual income tax is withheld at a 10% tax rate.

 

  (3) For the qualified foreign institutional investors (QFIIs) holding the Company’s unrestricted A shares, in accordance with the Circular on Issues Concerning the Withholding of Enterprise Income Tax on Dividends, Bonuses and Interests Paid to QFIIs by Chinese Resident Enterprises (Guo Shui Han [2009] No. 47) (the “Circular”), a cash dividend of RMB0.0286 per share will be distributed after enterprise income tax is withheld at a 10% tax rate; and if the relevant shareholders think the dividend incomes received by them are entitled to the treatment under any tax treaty (arrangement), such shareholders may apply to the competent tax authority for such treatment in accordance with the Circular after receiving the dividends.

The fractional shares resulting from the conversion will be arranged by CSDCC Shanghai in the order of the sizes of such fractional shares of investors; the fractional shares with the same size will be arranged by the electronic settlement system in a random order; and each of such shares will be registered as one share in their proper order until the share allotment is fully completed.
