Asia Investments is controlled, in respect of its authority over SB Investments, by SB Singapore. Softbank is the sole shareholder of SB Singapore. Mr. Fisher is the sole director of SB Investments.

The Share Purchase Agreement included conditions to the obligation of the parties to consummate the Sale, including the approval of the Sale by the Issuer’s board of directors. As a condition to, and in connection with, the closing of the Sale, Andrew Yan, a Managing Partner of the Fund, resigned as a director of the Issuer. The Fund is obligated to use its best efforts to cause the Issuer to appoint a person nominated by China International Fund SPC to fill the vacancy on the Issuer’s board of directors caused by Mr. Yan’s resignation.
