Morgan Securities (Asia Pacific) Limited and the Royal Bank of Scotland N.V., Hong Kong Branch entered into a placing agreement with the Issuer to place 1.5 billion new shares of Common Stock of the Issuer to certain independent third parties.

The conversion price will initially be HK$0.7965 per share of Common Stock with a fixed exchange rate of HK$7.7532 =US$1.00.

On December 18, 2013, pursuant to its pre-emptive right under the 2008 SPA, Datang and the Issuer entered into a subscription agreement (the “2013 SA”), pursuant to which Datang agrees to subscribe US$54,600,000 principal amount of Convertible Bonds at a price equivalent to the issue price of the placed Convertible Bonds and on the same terms as the terms and conditions of the placed Convertible Bonds (the “2013 CB Subscription”), which is conditional on, among other things, the obtaining of the necessary governmental approvals and the approval of the independent shareholders of the Issuer. The closing date will be a date as the Issuer and Datang may agree separately, not being later than May 30, 2014.
