Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., the Company's depositary (the "ADS depositary") that are reserved (but not yet allocated) by the Company for settlement upon exercise of any Company equity awards, (Shares described under (i) through (ii) above are collectively referred to herein as the "Excluded Shares"), and (iii) Shares represented by ADSs, has been cancelled in exchange for the right to receive US$0.1884 in cash without interest, and (b) each issued and outstanding ADS together with the Shares underlying such ADS (other than any ADS representing Excluded Shares) has been cancelled in exchange for the right to receive US$3.767 in cash per ADS without interest (less $0.05 per ADS cancellation fees pursuant to the terms of the deposit agreement, dated as of June 8, 2011, by and among the Company, the ADS depositary and the holders from time to time of ADSs issued thereunder), in each case, net of any applicable withholding taxes described in the Merger Agreement. Each Rollover Shares has been cancelled for no consideration. The Company did not receive any notice of objection from any shareholder prior to vote to approve the Merger, which is required for exercising any dissenting rights.

        In addition, at the Effective Time,

    (a) vesting of each option (the "Company Option") to purchase Shares granted under the Company's 2009 Stock Option Plan, 2010 Share Incentive Plan and 2012 Share Incentive Plan, each as amended (collectively, the "Share Incentive Plans") outstanding as of the Effective Time and having an exercise price per Share less than US$0.1884 has been accelerated by 12 months, (b) vesting of each Company Option outstanding as of the Effective Time and having an exercise price per Share equal to or greater than US$0.1884 has been accelerated as to all of the covered Shares, and (c) vesting of each Company restricted share award issued under the Share Incentive Plans (the "Company Restricted Share", and together with the Company Option, the "Company Equity Award") outstanding as of the effective time of the Merger has been accelerated by 12 months, except for certain awards that has been accelerated by three months or vest immediately prior to the Effective Time;

    each unvested and outstanding Company Option as of the Effective Time has been assumed by Parent and converted into an option to purchase that number of ordinary shares of Parent equal to the number of Shares subject to such option multiplied by the ratio of (a) US$0.1884 divided by (b) the fair market value of one ordinary share of Parent at the Effective Time, and rounded down to the nearest whole share, with a per share exercise price determined by dividing the per Share exercise price of such option by the ratio of (x) US$0.1884 divided by (y) the fair market value of one ordinary share of Parent at the Effective Time, and rounding up to the nearest whole cent; and the terms and conditions of the assumed option, including vesting conditions, shall otherwise remain unmodified;

    each Company Restricted Share vested and outstanding as of the effective time of the Merger (after application of any acceleration) has been cancelled and converted into the right to receive US$0.1884 per Share, in cash, without interest and net of any applicable withholding taxes; and

    each unvested and outstanding Company Restricted Share has been assumed by Parent and would cover that number of ordinary shares of Parent equal to the number of Shares covered thereby multiplied by the ratio of (a) US$0.1884 divided by (b) the fair market value of one ordinary share of Parent at the Effective Time, rounded down to the nearest whole share; the terms and conditions of the assumed Company Restricted Share, including vesting conditions, shall otherwise remain unmodified.

        As a result of the Merger, the ADSs will no longer be listed on any securities exchange or quotation system, including the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), and the Company will cease to be a publicly traded Company.

The deregistration will become effective in 90 days after the filing of Form 25 or such shorter period as may be determined by the SEC.
