CPI, NewQuest, NewQuest GP and NewQuest Management are referred to herein as the “Reporting Persons”.

Information concerning each executive officer, director and controlling person (the “Listed Persons”) of each of the Reporting Persons is listed on Schedule I attached hereto, and is incorporated by reference herein.

During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons, and to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the Listed Persons, have been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which such person was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws, or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Prior to the Company’s initial public offering, CPI purchased 50,000 series A and 25,000 series B convertible preferred shares of the Company in January 2008 and July 2008, respectively, with cash. The funds for the purchase of the convertible preferred shares of the Company by CPI (the “CPI Pre-IPO Shares”) were provided primarily from the working capital of CPI. Immediately prior to the closing of the Company’s initial public offering on January 28, 2010, the CPI Pre-IPO Shares, and accrued dividends thereon, were converted into an aggregate of 30,858,964 Ordinary Shares.

On February 4, 2011, NewQuest entered into two agreements, pursuant to which, (a) on April 14, 2011, NewQuest acquired, among other things, CPI, including its portfolio investment holdings of 30,858,964 Ordinary Shares of the Company, and (b) on April 15, 2011, following NewQuest’s acquisition of CPI, CPI acquired an additional 7,885,431 Ordinary Shares of the Company in exchange for $13,095,362 in cash. The source of the funds for these acquisitions was NewQuest’s working capital. As a result, CPI became a wholly owned subsidiary of NewQuest.

On December 3, 2012, CPI entered into an Agreement of Purchase and Sale (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Swiss Re Financial Products Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Swiss Re”), pursuant to which CPI has acquired 10,114,508 Ordinary Shares (represented by 3,371,502 ADSs and two Ordinary Shares) in exchange for $6,743,005.34 in cash, or approximately $0.67 per Ordinary Share. The description of the Purchase Agreement is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2, and which is incorporated herein by reference. The source of the funds for this acquisition was NewQuest’s working capital. As a result of this acquisition, CPI directly owns an aggregate of 48,858,903 Ordinary Shares of the Company.

The Reporting Persons believe that the Company is currently undervalued, and depending upon overall market conditions, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, and the availability of Ordinary Shares or ADSs at prices that would make the purchase of additional Ordinary Shares or ADSs desirable, the Reporting Persons may endeavor to increase their position in the Company through, among other things, the purchase of Ordinary Shares or ADSs on the open market or in private transactions or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable.

Amit Gupta became a member of the board of directors of the Company in September 2012. Mr. Gupta is a director of CPI, an alternate director of NewQuest GP and an alternate director of NewQuest Management. In addition, the Reporting Persons have several employees, including Mr. Gupta, currently working on a transition committee which was appointed by the board of directors of the Company to address matters relating to the transition of the new board, cost reductions, and the ongoing search for a permanent chief executive officer, among other transitional matters. The establishment of the transition committee is more fully discussed in the Report of Foreign Issuer on Form 6-K, filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 16, 2012.

Except as disclosed herein, the Reporting Persons do not have any plans or proposals which relate to or would result in:

The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Company’s Ordinary Shares and ADSs on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Company’s financial position and investment strategy, the price levels of the ADSs, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Company as they deem appropriate including, without limitation, purchasing additional Ordinary Shares or ADSs, selling some or all of their Ordinary Shares or ADSs, or changing their intention with respect to any and all matters set forth in subparagraphs (a)-(i) of this Item 4.

(a) CPI directly beneficially owns 48,858,903 Ordinary Shares (which include 10,114,506 Ordinary Shares represented by 3,371,502 ADSs and 38,744,397 Ordinary Shares), or approximately 30.2% of the Ordinary Shares. NewQuest, its sole general partner, NewQuest GP, and NewQuest Management, an investment manager of NewQuest GP, may be deemed to beneficially own, such 48,858,903 Ordinary Shares, which represents approximately 30.2% of the Ordinary Shares. The foregoing calculations of percentage ownership are based on 161,989,097 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding as represented by the Company in its Annual Report on Form 20-F filed on April 27, 2012, as amended.

CPI, by virtue of the Shareholders Agreement (as defined below), NewQuest, by virtue of its being the parent of CPI, NewQuest GP, by virtue of its control of NewQuest, and NewQuest Management, by virtue of its management of NewQuest’s securities, may be considered members of a group, within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) and Rule 13d-5(b)(1) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). As a result, each Reporting Person may be deemed, in its capacity as a member of a group, to beneficially own the Ordinary Shares attributable to the other parties to the Shareholders Agreement. Each of the Reporting Persons expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of the Company’s securities except to the extent of their own pecuniary interest.

Except as set forth in this Item 5(a), neither the Reporting Persons nor, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the Listed Persons, beneficially owns any Ordinary Shares or ADSs.

The Reporting Persons declare that neither the filing of this Statement nor anything herein shall be construed as an admission that such person is, for the purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act or any other purpose, (i) acting (or has agreed or is agreeing to act together with any other person) as a partnership, limited partnership, syndicate, or other group for the purpose of acquiring, holding or disposing of securities of the Company or otherwise with respect to the Company or any securities of the Company or (ii) a member of any group with respect to the Company or any securities of the Company.

See Item 10 on the cover page(s) hereto.

ARTICLE VI

INDEMNIFICATION

6.1 Survival. All representations and warranties of, and all covenants and agreements made or performed or to be performed or complied with by, any Person contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and all rights to bring any claims of any Indemnitee in respect of any breach of any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Purchase Agreement, shall survive for a period of eighteen (18) months following Closing; provided, however, that the representations contained in Section 3.6 (Title to Sale Shares) shall survive indefinitely.

6.2 Indemnification. As of and from Closing, the Seller will indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer and its officers, directors, and employees (each an “Indemnitee”) from and against any Losses which are directly suffered or incurred by any Indemnitee or to which any Indemnitee may otherwise become subject (regardless of whether or not such Losses relate to any Third Party Claim) and which arise from or as a result of, or are directly or indirectly connected with any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of the Seller set forth in this Purchase Agreement at Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 or 3.6.

7

6.3 Claims for Indemnification. If any Indemnitee shall believe that such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VI in respect of any Losses, such Indemnitee shall promptly give the Seller notice of such claim (a “Notice of Claim”). Any such Notice of Claim shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such claim for indemnification and, to the extent specified or otherwise known, the amount of the claim. The failure of such Indemnitee to give the Notice of Claim for indemnification promptly shall not adversely affect such Indemnitee’s right to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that the Seller is prejudiced by such failure.

6.4 Limitation on Liability. Except for Losses resulting from fraud, willful breach, or intentional breach of a representation and warranty, the maximum amount of Losses payable by the Seller shall be an amount in the aggregate equal to the Purchase Price plus all reasonable costs and expenses related to the Indemnitee exercising its rights hereunder.

6.5 Procedure for Third Party Claims.

(a) Promptly following receipt by an Indemnitee of written notice of any claim that may give rise to indemnification under this Article VI resulting from or arising out of any action, suit, proceeding or arbitration against an Indemnitee by a Person that is not a party hereto (such claim, a “Third Party Claim”) with respect to which such Indemnitee may be entitled to receive payment from the Seller for any Loss in accordance with this Purchase Agreement, such Indemnitee shall notify the Seller of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Seller shall not relieve the Seller from liability hereunder with respect to such Third Party Claim except to the extent that the Seller is prejudiced by such failure.

(b) The Seller shall have the right, by delivery of written notice to the Indemnitee, to assume (or assign to its Affiliate for assumption) the defense of such Third Party Claim; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller shall not be entitled to assume control of the defense of any Third Party Claim (unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Indemnitee), and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel retained by the Indemnitee to the extent that the Indemnitee has been advised by reputable external legal counsel, that a reasonable likelihood exists of a material conflict of interest between the Seller and the Indemnitee and that, as a result, the Seller could not represent the interests of the Indemnitee in such Third Party Claim.

(c) In any Third Party Claim for which indemnification is being sought hereunder, the Indemnitee or the Seller, whichever is not defending such action, shall have the right to participate in such matter and to retain its own counsel at such party’s own expense (subject to Section 6.5(b) above). The Seller or the Indemnitee (as the case may be) shall at all times use reasonable efforts to keep the other party reasonably apprised of the status of the defense of any matter the defense of which it is maintaining and each shall reasonably cooperate in good faith with the other with respect to the defense of any such matter.

8

(d) No Indemnitee may settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder without the prior written consent of the Seller (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Seller may not settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) results in the final resolution of such Indemnitee’s involvement in such Third Party Claim and includes a complete and unconditional release of such Indemnitee, from all liabilities and obligations arising out of such Third Party Claim, (ii) does not contain any admission or statement suggesting any wrongdoing on behalf of such Indemnitee, (iii) is paid in full by the Seller concurrently with the effectiveness of such settlement, compromise or consent and (iv) does not encumber any of the assets of any Indemnitee or subject any Indemnitee to any restrictions or conditions that would materially and adversely affect such Indemnitee; provided that, if the Indemnitee does not consent to any proposed settlement, compromise or consent, then (notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Purchase Agreement) the Indemnitee shall not be entitled to any indemnification or other payment hereunder for Losses incurred with respect to such Third Party Claim in excess of the proposed settlement, compromise or consent, whether or not the Indemnitee would otherwise be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

6.6 Limitations on Damages.

(a) Each Party hereby waives, to the extent permitted under its applicable insurance policies, any subrogation rights that its insurer may have with respect to any indemnifiable Losses.

(b) No Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover any Losses relating to any matter arising out of one provision of this Purchase Agreement to the extent that such Indemnitee has already recovered Losses with respect to such matter pursuant to another provision of this Purchase Agreement.
