DESIGNATED DEALERS’ DESIGNATED DEALER IDENTITY NUMBERS

As disclosed in the section headed “Listings, Registration, Dealings and Settlement — Liquidity Arrangements” in the Listing Document, upon the Listing and during the Liquidity Period (being the 30-day period from and including the Listing Date), the Designated Dealers, Credit Suisse Securities (Hong Kong) Limited and Deutsche Securities Asia Limited, on their own account, will seek to undertake certain trading activities in circumstances as described in that section. Such trading activities are expected to contribute to the liquidity of trading in the Shares on the Hong Kong market upon Listing.

Each of the Designated Dealers has set up a designated dealer identity number solely for the purposes of carrying out liquidity trades under the liquidity arrangements in Hong Kong, in order to ensure identification and thereby enhance transparency of such trades on the Hong Kong market.

Each of the Designated Dealers has also set up another designated dealer identity number which can be used in emergency and unforeseen situations if the aforesaid identity number for each of the Designated Dealers in respect of the liquidity trades cannot be used. Specifically, Credit Suisse Securities (Hong Kong) Limited has set up a designated dealer identity number 7688 and Deutsche Securities Asia Limited has set up a designated dealer identity number 7690 for this purpose. Any change in such designated dealer identity numbers will be disclosed as soon as practicable by way of announcement on both the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ Global Select Market and will be posted by the Company on the Company’s website.
