The Securities are not issuable in bearer form.

Title

(d) Title to the Securities will pass only by transfer and registration in the Register as described in Condition 3. The holder of any Security will (except as otherwise required by law or as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction) be treated as its absolute owner for all purposes (whether or not it is overdue and regardless of any notice of ownership, trust or any interest in it or any writing on, or the theft or loss of, the Certificate issued in respect of it) and no person will be liable for so treating the holder.

Status

(A)

Status of the Securities

(e) The Securities constitute direct, unsecured and subordinated obligations of the Issuer which rank pari passu and without any preference among themselves and with any Parity Securities of the Issuer. The rights and claims of the Securityholders in respect of the Securities are subordinated as provided in this Condition 2.

(B)

Ranking of claims

In the event of the Winding-Up of the Issuer, the rights and claims of the Securityholders in respect of the Securities (other than in relation to the Conversion Right) shall rank ahead of those persons whose claims are in respect of any Junior Securities of the Issuer, but shall be subordinated in right of payment to the claims of all other present and future senior and subordinated creditors of the Issuer, other than the claims of holders of Parity Securities of the Issuer.

(C)

Set-off

Subject to applicable law, no Securityholder may exercise, claim or plead any right of set-off, deduction, withholding or retention in respect of any amount owed to it by the Issuer in respect of, or arising under or in connection with the Securities, and each Securityholder shall, by virtue of his holding of any Securities, be deemed to have waived all such rights of set-off, deduction, withholding or retention against the Issuer. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if any of the amounts owing to any Securityholder by the Issuer in respect of, or arising under or in connection with the Securities is discharged by set-off, such Securityholder shall, subject to applicable law, immediately pay an amount equal to the amount of such discharge to the Issuer (or, in the event of its Winding-Up or administration, the liquidator or, as appropriate, administrator of the Issuer) and, until such time as payment is made, shall hold such amount in trust for the Issuer (or the liquidator or, as appropriate, administrator of the Issuer) and accordingly any such discharge shall be deemed not to have taken place.

Each Securityholder shall be entitled to receive only one Certificate in respect of its entire holding of Securities.

(E)

Transfer

(g) Securities may, subject to Conditions 3(E) and 3(F) and the terms of the Agency Agreement, be transferred in whole or in part in an Authorised Denomination by delivery of the Certificate issued in respect of that Security, with the form of transfer on the back duly completed and signed by the holder or his attorney duly authorised in writing, to the specified office of either the Registrar or any of the Transfer Agents, together with such evidence as the Registrar or such Transfer Agent may require to prove the title of the transfer and the authority of the individuals who have executed the form of transfer.

In the case of a transfer of Securities to a person who is already a holder of Securities, a new Certificate representing the enlarged holding shall only be issued against surrender of the Certificate representing the existing holding.

A Security may be registered only in the name of, and transferred only to, a named person (or persons, not exceeding four in number).

The regulations may be changed by (i) the Issuer, with the prior written approval of the Registrar and the Trustee or (ii) the Registrar, with the prior written approval of the Trustee. A copy of the current regulations will be made available by the Registrar to any Securityholder upon prior written request and satisfactory proof of holding.

·	Distributions

(J)

Accrual of Distribution

Subject to Condition 4(C), the Securities confer a right to receive distribution (each a “Distribution”) from the Issue Date at the Distribution Rate in accordance with this Condition 4. Subject to Condition 4(C), Distribution shall be payable on the Securities semi-annually in arrear on 14 June and 14 December of each year (each, a “Distribution Payment Date”), with the first Distribution Payment Date falling on 14 June 2018.

(p) Unless otherwise provided for in these Conditions, each Security will cease to confer the right to receive any Distribution (1) where the Conversion Right attached to it shall have been exercised, from and including the Distribution Payment Date immediately preceding its Conversion Date or, if none, the Issue Date (without prejudice to the provision under Condition 4(C)(v)) subject to conversion of the relevant Security in accordance with the provisions of Condition 4 or (2) where such Security is redeemed, from the due date for redemption unless, upon due presentation, payment of the full amount due is improperly withheld or refused. In such latter event, Distribution will continue to accrue at the applicable Distribution Rate (after as well as before any judgment) up to but excluding whichever is the earlier of (a) the date on which all sums due in respect of any Security are received by or on behalf of the relevant Securityholder and (b) the day which is seven days after the Trustee or the Principal Agent has notified the Securityholders that it has received all sums due in respect of the Securities up to such seventh day (except to the extent that there is a failure in the subsequent payment to the relevant Securityholders under these Conditions).

(q) Distribution in respect of any Security shall be calculated per US$250,000 in principal amount of the Securities (the “Calculation Amount”). The amount of Distribution payable per Calculation Amount for any period shall be equal to the product of the Distribution Rate, the Calculation Amount and the relevant day-count fraction for the relevant period (determined on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of 12 months of 30 days each, and in the case of an incomplete month, the number of days elapsed, rounding the resulting figure to the nearest cent (half a cent being rounded upwards).

(r) Distribution payable under this Condition will be paid in accordance with Condition 7.

Rate of Distribution

Subject to any increase pursuant to Condition 4(D), the rate of distribution (“Distribution Rate”) applicable to the Securities shall be 2.00 per cent. per annum.

Distribution Deferral

(i)

Optional Deferral: The Issuer may, at its sole discretion, elect to defer Distribution which is otherwise scheduled to be paid on a Distribution Payment Date to the next Distribution Payment Date by giving notice (an “Optional Deferral Notice”) to the Securityholders (in accordance with Condition 10) not more than 10 nor less than five Business Days prior to a scheduled Distribution Payment Date if, during the twelve months ending on the day before that scheduled Distribution Payment Date no discretionary dividend, distribution or other discretionary payment has been paid or declared by the Issuer on or in respect of its Junior Securities or its Parity Securities (an “Optional Deferral Event”).

(ii)

No obligation to pay: The Issuer shall have no obligation to pay any Distribution (including any Arrears of Distribution and any Additional Distribution Amount) on any Distribution Payment Date if it validly elects not to do so in accordance with Condition 4(C) and any failure to pay Distribution shall not constitute a default of the Issuer in respect of the Securities.

(iii)

Requirements as to Notice: Each Optional Deferral Notice shall be accompanied by a certificate in the form scheduled to the Agency Agreement signed by an Authorised Signatory (as defined in the Trust Deed) of the Issuer confirming that an Optional Deferral Event has occurred and is continuing.

(iv)

Cumulative Deferral: Any Distribution deferred pursuant to this Condition 4(C) shall constitute “Arrears of Distribution”. The Issuer may, at its sole discretion, elect to further defer any Arrears of Distribution by complying with the foregoing notice requirement applicable to any deferral of an accrued Distribution. The Issuer is not subject to any limit as to the number of times Distributions and Arrears of Distribution can or shall be deferred pursuant to this Condition 4(C) except that Condition 4(C)(v) shall be complied with until all outstanding Arrears of Distribution have been paid in full.

(a) Each amount of Arrears of Distribution shall bear distribution as if it constituted the principal of the Securities at the Distribution Rate and the amount of such distribution (the “Additional Distribution Amount”) with respect to Arrears of Distribution shall be due and payable pursuant to this Condition 4 and shall be calculated by applying the Distribution Rate to the amount of the Arrears of Distribution and otherwise mutatis mutandis as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Condition 4. The Additional Distribution Amount accrued up to any Distribution Payment Date shall be added for the purpose of calculating the Additional Distribution Amount accruing thereafter, to the amount of Arrears of Distribution remaining unpaid on such Distribution Payment Date so that it will itself become Arrears of Distribution.

(v)

Restrictions in the case of Deferral or following a Credit Event: If (a) on any Distribution Payment Date, payment of all Distribution payments scheduled to be made on such date is not made in full by reason of this Condition 4(C) or (b) a Credit Event (as defined below) has occurred and is continuing, the Issuer shall not:

declare or pay any discretionary dividends, distributions or make any other discretionary payment on, and will procure that no discretionary dividend, distribution or other discretionary payment is made on any of its Junior Securities or its Parity Securities; or

(B)

redeem, reduce, cancel, buy-back or acquire for any consideration any of its Junior Securities or its Parity Securities, provided that such restriction shall not apply to an exchange of any Parity Securities in whole for Junior Securities,

(l) The number of Shares to be issued on exercise of a Conversion Right shall be determined by dividing the principal amount of the Securities to be converted (translated into Hong Kong dollars at the fixed rate of HKD7.8034 = US$1.00) (the “Fixed Exchange Rate”) by the Conversion Price in effect on the relevant Conversion Date (as defined in Condition 5 (B)(i)). A Conversion Right may only be exercised in respect of one or more Securities. If more than one Security held by the same holder is converted at any one time by the same holder, the number of Shares to be issued upon such conversion will be calculated on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be converted.

(x)

Fractions of Shares: Fractions of Shares will not be issued on conversion and no cash payment or other adjustment will be made in lieu thereof. However, if the Conversion Right in respect of more than one Security is exercised at any one time such that Shares to be issued on conversion are to be registered in the same name, the number of such Shares to be issued in respect thereof shall be calculated on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of such Securities being so converted and rounded down to the nearest whole number of Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a consolidation or re-classification of Shares by operation of law or otherwise occurring after 28 November 2017 which reduces the number of Shares outstanding, the Issuer will upon conversion of Securities pay in cash (in US dollars) a sum equal to such portion of the principal amount of the Security or Securities evidenced by the Certificate deposited in connection with the exercise of Conversion Rights, aggregated as provided in Condition 5(A)(i), as corresponds to any fraction of a Share not issued as a result of such consolidation or re-classification aforesaid if such sum exceeds US$10. Any such sum shall be paid not later than five Stock Exchange Business Days (as defined in Condition 5(B)(i)) after the relevant Conversion Date by a US dollar denominated cheque drawn on, or by transfer to a US dollar account maintained by the payee with, a bank in New York City, in accordance with instructions given by the relevant Securityholder in the Conversion Notice.

(xi)

Revival and/or survival after Default: Notwithstanding the provisions of Condition 5(A)(i), if (a) the Issuer shall default in making payment in full in respect of any Security which shall have been called or put for redemption on the date fixed for redemption thereof; (b) any Security has become due and payable by reason of the occurrence of any of the events under Condition 9; or (c) any Security is not redeemed on the date fixed for redemption thereof in accordance with Condition 7, the Conversion Right attaching to such Security will revive and/or will continue to be exercisable up to, and including, the close of business (at the place where the Certificate evidencing such Security is deposited for conversion) on the date upon which the full amount of the moneys payable in respect of such Security has been duly received by the Principal Agent or the Trustee and notice of such receipt has been duly given to the Securityholders in accordance with Condition 10 and notwithstanding the provisions of Condition 5(A)(i), any Security in respect of which the Certificate and Conversion Notice (as defined in Condition 5(B)(i)) are deposited for conversion prior to such date shall be converted on the relevant Conversion Date (as defined in Condition 5(B)(i)) notwithstanding that the full amount of the moneys payable in respect of such Security shall have been received by the Principal Agent or the Trustee before such Conversion Date or that the Conversion Period may have expired before such Conversion Date.

(xii)

Meaning of “Shares”: As used in these Conditions, the expression “Shares” means ordinary shares of par value US$0.004 each of the Issuer or shares of any class or classes resulting from any subdivision, consolidation or re-classification of those shares, which as between themselves have no preference in respect of dividends or of amounts payable in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation or dissolution of the Issuer.

Conversion Procedure

(xiii)

Conversion Notice: To exercise the Conversion Right attaching to any Security, the holder thereof must complete, execute and deposit at his own expense during the Conversion Period at the specified office of any Conversion Agent during its usual business hours (being between 9.00 a.m. and 3.00 p.m.) a duly completed and signed notice of conversion (a “Conversion Notice”) in the form (for the time being current) obtainable from the specified office of each Conversion Agent, together with the relevant Certificate and confirmation that any amounts required to be paid by the Securityholder under Condition 5(B)(ii) have been so paid. Conversion Rights shall be exercised subject in each case to any applicable fiscal or other laws or regulations applicable in the jurisdiction in which the specified office of the Conversion Agent to whom the relevant Conversion Notice is delivered is located.

(m) If such deposit is made after the end of normal business hours (being after 3:00 p.m.) or on a day which is not a business day in the place of the specified office of the relevant Conversion Agent, such deposit shall be deemed for all purposes of these Conditions to have been made on the next following such business day. A Conversion Notice once delivered shall be irrevocable and may not be withdrawn unless the Issuer consents in writing to such withdrawal.

(n) Any determination as to whether any Conversion Notice has been duly completed and properly delivered shall be made by the relevant Conversion Agent and shall, save in the case of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Issuer, the Trustee, the Conversion Agents and the relevant Securityholder.

(o) Conversion Rights may only be exercised in respect of an Authorised Denomination.

(p) The conversion date in respect of a Security (the “Conversion Date”) shall be deemed to be the Stock Exchange Business Day (as defined below) immediately following the date of the surrender of the Certificate in respect of such Security and delivery of such Conversion Notice to the Conversion Agent and, if applicable, any payment to be made or indemnity given under these Conditions in connection with the exercise of such Conversion Right.

(q) “Stock Exchange Business Day” means any day (other than a Saturday or Sunday) on which Relevant Stock Exchange (as defined in Condition 5(F) below), as the case may be, is open for the business of dealing in securities.

(xiv)

Stamp Duty etc.: A Securityholder exercising Conversion Rights must pay directly to the relevant authorities any taxes or capital, stamp, issue and registration and transfer taxes and duties (“Duties”) arising on such exercise (other than any Duties payable in Cayman Islands and Hong Kong and, if relevant, in the place of the Alternative Stock Exchange, by the Issuer in respect of the allotment and issue of Shares and listing of the Shares on the Relevant Stock Exchange on conversion (the “Taxes”)). The Issuer will pay all other expenses arising on the issue of Shares on conversion of Securities. The Securityholder (and, if different, the person to whom the Shares are to be issued) must declare in the relevant Conversion Notice that any amounts payable to the relevant tax authorities in settlement of Taxes payable pursuant to this Condition 5(B)(ii) have been paid.

(r) If the Issuer shall fail to pay any Duties and/or Taxes payable for which it is responsible as provided above, the relevant holder shall be entitled to tender and pay the same and the Issuer as a separate and independent stipulation, covenants to reimburse and indemnify each Securityholder in respect of any payment thereof and any penalties payable in respect thereof.

(s) Such Securityholder must also pay all, if any, taxes imposed on it and arising by reference to any disposal or deemed disposal of a Security or interest therein in connection with the exercise of Conversion Rights by it.

(t) Neither the Trustee nor any of the Agents shall be responsible to Securityholders or any other person or paying any Duties, Taxes, expenses or other amounts referred to in this Condition 5(B)(ii) or for determining whether such Duties are payable or the amount thereof, and neither the Trustee nor any of the Agents shall be responsible or liable for any failure by the Issuer or any Securityholder to pay such Duties, Taxes, expenses or other amounts.

(xv)

Registration: Upon exercise by a Securityholder of its Conversion Right and compliance with Conditions 5(B)(i) and 5(B)(ii), the Issuer will, as soon as practicable, and in any event not later than five Business Days after the Conversion Date, register the person or persons designated for the purpose in the Conversion Notice as holder(s) of the relevant number of Shares in the Issuer’s share register in Hong Kong and will, if the Securityholder has also requested in the Conversion Notice and to the extent permitted under applicable law and the rules and procedures of the Central Clearing and Settlement System of Hong Kong (“CCASS”) effective from time to time, take all necessary action to procure that Shares are delivered through CCASS for so long as the Shares are listed on the HKSE; or will make such certificate or certificates available for collection at the office of the Issuer’s share registrar in Hong Kong (currently Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong) notified to Securityholders in accordance with Condition 10 or, if so requested in the relevant Conversion Notice, will cause its share registrar to mail (at the risk, and, if sent at the request of such person otherwise than by ordinary mail, at the expense, of the person to whom such certificate or certificates are sent) such certificate or certificates to the person and at the place specified in the Conversion Notice, together (in either case) with any other securities, property or cash required to be delivered upon conversion of the Securities and such assignments and other documents (if any) as may be required by law to effect the transfer thereof, in which case a single share certificate will be issued in respect of all Shares issued on conversion of Securities subject to the same Conversion Notice and which are to be registered in the same name.

(u) The crediting of the Shares to the relevant securities account of the converting Securityholder will be deemed to satisfy the Issuer’s obligation to pay the principal on such converted Securities.

(v) If the Conversion Date in relation to the conversion of any Security shall be after the record date for any issue, distribution, grant, offer or other event as gives rise to the adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to Condition 5(C), but before the relevant adjustment becomes effective under the relevant Condition (a “Retroactive Adjustment”), upon the relevant adjustment becoming effective the Issuer shall procure the issue to the converting Securityholder (or in accordance with the instructions contained in the Conversion Notice (subject to applicable exchange control or other laws or other regulations)), such additional number of Shares (“Additional Shares”) as is, together with Shares to be issued on conversion of the Security(s), equal to the number of Shares which would have been required to be issued on conversion of such Security if the relevant adjustment to the Conversion Price had been made and become effective on or immediately after the relevant record date and in such event and in respect of such Additional Shares references in this Condition 5(B)(iii) to the Conversion Date shall be deemed to refer to the date upon which the Retroactive Adjustment becomes effective (notwithstanding that the date upon which it becomes effective falls after the end of the Conversion Period).

(w) The person or persons specified for that purpose in the Conversion Notice will become the holder of record of the number of Shares issuable upon conversion with effect from the date he is or they are registered as such in the Issuer’s register of members (the “Registration Date”).

(x) The Shares issued upon exercise of Conversion Rights will be fully paid and will in all respects rank pari passu with the fully paid Shares in issue on the relevant Registration Date except for any right excluded by mandatory provisions of applicable law and except that such Shares will not rank for (or, as the case may be, the relevant holder shall not be entitled to receive) any rights, distributions or payments the record or other due date for the establishment of entitlement for which falls prior to the relevant Registration Date.

(y) If the record date for the payment of any dividend or other distribution in respect of the Shares is on or after the Conversion Date in respect of any Security, but before the Registration Date (disregarding any Retroactive Adjustment of the Conversion Price referred to in this Condition 5(B)(iii) prior to the time such Retroactive Adjustment shall have become effective), the Issuer will calculate and pay to the converting Securityholder or his designee an amount in US dollars (the “Equivalent Amount”) converted at the Prevailing Rate (as defined below) equal to the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of such dividend or other distribution to which he would have been entitled had he on that record date been such a shareholder of record and will make the payment at the same time as it makes payment of the dividend or other distribution, or as soon as practicable thereafter, but, in any event, not later than seven days thereafter. The Equivalent Amount shall be paid by a US dollar denominated cheque drawn on, or by transfer to a US dollar account maintained by the payee with, a bank in New York City, in accordance with instructions given by the relevant Securityholder in the Conversion Notice.

(xvi)

No Issue of Shares if in breach of the rules of a Relevant Stock Exchange or applicable laws and regulations: The Issuer is not obliged to issue Shares in satisfaction of the Conversion Right if by doing so it will be in breach of its obligations under any rules of a Relevant Stock Exchange or applicable laws and regulations.

(xvii)

Distribution Accrual: If a notice requiring the redemption of any Securities is given pursuant to Condition 7, during the period beginning on the fifteenth day prior to the record date in respect of any dividend or distribution payable in respect of the Shares and ending on the Distribution Payment Date next following such record date, where such notice specifies a date for redemption falling on or prior to the date which is 14 days after such next following Distribution Payment Date, Distribution shall (subject as hereinafter provided) accrue on the Securities as follows: where Certificates have been delivered for conversion and in respect of which the Conversion Date falls after such record date and on or prior to the Distribution Payment Date next following such record date; Distribution shall accrue on the Securities from the preceding Distribution Payment Date (or, if the relevant Conversion Date falls on or before the first Distribution Payment Date, from, and including, the Issue Date) to, but excluding, the relevant Conversion Date; provided that no such Distribution shall accrue on any Security in the event that the Shares issued on conversion thereof shall carry an entitlement to receive such dividend or in the event the Security carries an entitlement to receive an Equivalent Amount. Such Distribution shall be paid not later than 14 days after the relevant Conversion Date by a U.S. dollar cheque drawn on, or by transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with, a bank in New York, in accordance with instructions given by the relevant Securityholder in the relevant Conversion Notice.

Exclusion:

(bbbb) No adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price if (a) any Securities are offered, issued or granted to Datang Telecom Technology & Industry Holdings Co., Ltd., Xinxin (Hongkong) Capital Co., Ltd. 國家集成電路産業投資基金股份有限公司 (China Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund Co., Ltd.), Country Hill Limited, Shanghai Industrial Investment (Holdings) Corporation or any of their respective affiliates or any other connected persons (as defined in under the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities of the HKSE) of the Issuer and (b) such offer, issue or grant is made on substantially the same terms and conditions as the issue of the Securities.

Undertakings

(v) The Issuer has undertaken in the Trust Deed, inter alia, that so long as any Security remains outstanding, save with the approval of an Extraordinary Resolution (as defined in the Trust Deed) of the Securityholders or with the approval of the Trustee where, in the opinion of the Trustee, it is not materially prejudicial to the interests of Securityholders to give such approval:

(xviii)

it will use its best endeavours (a) to maintain a listing for all the issued Shares on the HKSE, and (b) to obtain and maintain a listing for all the Shares issued on the exercise of the Conversion Rights attaching to the Securities on the HKSE, and (c) if the Issuer is unable to obtain or maintain such listing, to use its best endeavours to obtain and maintain a listing for all the issued Shares on an Alternative Stock Exchange as the Issuer may from time to time determine (and notify in writing to the Trustee) and will forthwith give notice to the Securityholders in accordance with Condition 10 of the listing or delisting of the Shares (as a class) by any of such stock exchange;

it will use its best endeavours to maintain the listing of the Securities on the SGX-ST and if the Issuer is unable to maintain such listing or such listing is unduly onerous, to use its best endeavours to obtain and maintain a listing on another internationally recognised stock exchange as the Issuer may from time to time determine (and notify in writing to the Trustee) and will forthwith give notice to the Securityholders in accordance with Condition 10 of the listing or delisting of the Securities by any such stock exchange;

it will pay the expenses of the issue of, and all expenses of obtaining listing for, Shares arising on conversion of the Securities (save for any Taxes specified in Condition 5(B)(ii));

it will not make any reduction of its ordinary share capital or any uncalled liability in respect thereof except:

in the event of a reduction in the share premium account, capital redemption reserve fund or any other part of its share capital for the purposes of offsetting any accumulated loss or any deficit in retained earnings, where such reduction is permitted by applicable law so long as there is no change to the number of Shares in issue as a result of such reduction; or

in all other capital reductions, where the reduction is permitted by applicable law and results in (or would, but for the provision of these Conditions relating to rounding or the carry forward of adjustments, result in) an adjustment to the Conversion Price or is otherwise taken into account for the purposes of determining whether such an adjustment should be made.

In the Trust Deed, the Issuer has also undertaken with the Trustee that so long as any Security remains outstanding:

it will reserve, free from any other pre-emptive or other similar rights, out of its authorised but unissued ordinary share capital the full number of Shares liable to be issued on conversion of the Securities from time to time remaining outstanding and shall ensure that all Shares delivered on conversion of the Securities will be duly and validly issued as fully-paid; and

it will not make any offer, issue, grant or distribute or take any action the effect of which would be to reduce the Conversion Price below the par value of the Shares, provided always that the Issuer shall not be prohibited from purchasing its Shares to the extent permitted by law.

(cccc) The Issuer has also given certain other undertakings in the Trust Deed for the protection of the Conversion Rights.

Provisions Relating to Changes in Conversion Price

(xix)

Minor adjustments: On any adjustment, the resultant Conversion Price, if not an integral multiple of one Hong Kong cent, shall be rounded down to the nearest Hong Kong cent. No adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price if such adjustment (rounded down if applicable) would be less than one per cent. of the Conversion Price then in effect. Any adjustment not required to be made, and/or any amount by which the Conversion Price has been rounded down, shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment, and such subsequent adjustment shall be made on the basis that the adjustment not required to be made had been made at the relevant time and/or, as the case may be, that the relevant rounding down had not been made. Notice of any adjustment shall be given by the Issuer to Securityholders in accordance with Condition 10 and to the Trustee in writing promptly after the determination thereof.

Decision of an Independent Investment Bank: If any doubt shall arise as to whether an adjustment falls to be made to the Conversion Price or as to the appropriate adjustment to the Conversion Price, and following consultation between the Issuer and an Independent Investment Bank, a written opinion of such Independent Investment Bank in respect thereof shall be conclusive and binding on the Issuer, the Securityholders and the Trustee, save in the case of manifest error.

Minimum Conversion Price: Notwithstanding the provisions of this Condition 5 the Conversion Price shall not in any event be reduced to below the nominal or par value of the Shares as a result of any adjustment hereunder unless under applicable law then in effect the Securities may be converted at such reduced Conversion Price into legally issued, fully paid and non assessable Shares.

Reference to “fixed”: Any references herein to the date on which a consideration is “fixed” shall, where the consideration is originally expressed by reference to a formula which cannot be expressed as an actual cash amount until a later date, be construed as a reference to the first day on which such actual cash amount can be ascertained.

(dddd) Where more than one event which gives or may give rise to an adjustment to the Conversion Price occurs within such a short period of time that in the opinion of an Independent Investment Bank, the foregoing provisions would need to be operated subject to some modification in order to give the intended result, such modification shall be made to the operation of the foregoing provisions as may be advised by such Independent Investment Bank to be in its opinion appropriate in order to give such intended result.

Share Option Schemes: No adjustment will be made to the Conversion Price when Shares or other securities (including rights or options) are issued, offered, exercised, allotted, appropriated, modified or granted to, or for the benefit of, employees (including directors) of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to any employee share scheme or plan (and which employee share scheme or plan is in compliance with the listing rules of the Relevant Stock Exchange).

Upward/downward adjustment: No adjustment involving an increase in the Conversion Price will be made, except in the case of a consolidation or reclassification of the Shares as referred to in Condition 5(C)(1) above. The Issuer may at any time and for a specified period of time only, following notice being given to the Trustee in writing and to the Securityholders in accordance with Condition 10, reduce the Conversion Price, subject to Condition 5(E)(iii).

Trustee not obliged to Monitor: Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall be under any duty to monitor whether any event or circumstance has happened or exists which may require an adjustment to be made to the Conversion Price or to make any calculation (or verification thereof) in connection with the Conversion Price and will not be responsible to Securityholders for any loss arising from any failure by it to do so or for any delay by the Issuer in making a determination or any erroneous determination in connection with the Conversion Price, without prejudice to its duties owed to the Issuer.

Notice of Change in Conversion Price: The Issuer shall give notice to the Securityholders in accordance with Condition 10 and, for so long as the Securities are listed on the SGX-ST and the rules of the SGX-ST so require, the Issuer shall also give notice to the SGX-ST of any change in the Conversion Price. Any such notice relating to a change in the Conversion Price shall set forth the event giving rise to the adjustment, the Conversion Price prior to such adjustment, the adjusted Conversion Price and the effective date of such adjustment.

The Issuer may redeem all and not some only of the Securities, at its option, at any time, on giving not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice (a “Tax Redemption Notice”) to the Securityholders in accordance with Condition 10 (which notice shall be irrevocable) and to the Trustee and the Principal Agent in writing, on the date specified in the Tax Redemption Notice for redemption (the “Tax Redemption Date”) at their principal amount, together with Distribution accrued to the date fixed for redemption (including any Arrears of Distribution and any Additional Distribution Amount), if the Issuer satisfies the Trustee immediately prior to the giving of such notice that (a) it has or will become obliged to pay Additional Tax Amounts as provided or referred to in Condition 8 as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws or regulations of the Cayman Islands or Hong Kong or, in each case, any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax, or any change in the general application or official interpretation of such laws or regulations, which change or amendment becomes effective on or after 28 November 2017, and (b) such obligation cannot be avoided by the Issuer taking commercially reasonable measures available to it, provided that no Tax Redemption Notice shall be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obliged to pay such Additional Tax Amounts were a payment in respect of the Securities then due. Prior to the publication of any Tax Redemption Notice pursuant to this Condition 7(B), the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee (x) a certificate signed by two directors of the Issuer, each of whom is also an Authorised Signatory of the Issuer, stating that the obligation referred to in (a) above cannot be avoided by the Issuer taking reasonable measures available to it and (y) an opinion of independent legal or tax advisers of recognised international standing to the effect that the Issuer has or will become obligated to pay such additional amounts as a result of such change or amendment or any such change in the application or official interpretation, and the Trustee shall be entitled to accept and rely on such certificate and opinion as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the condition precedent set out in (b) above of this Condition 7(B)(i), in which event it shall be conclusive and binding on the Securityholders.

To exercise a right pursuant to this Condition 7(B)(ii), the holder of the relevant Security must complete, sign and deposit at the specified office of any Paying Agent during its usual business hours (being between 9.00 a.m. and 3.00 p.m.) a duly completed and signed notice of exercise, in the form for the time being current, obtainable from the specified office of any Paying Agent together with the Certificate evidencing the relevant Security(s) on or before the day falling 10 days prior to the Tax Redemption Date.

(ll) Prior to the publication of any notice of redemption pursuant to this Condition 7(C), the Issuer shall deliver or procure that there is delivered to the Principal Agent:

(xxi)

a certificate, signed by two directors of the Issuer, each of whom is also an Authorised Signatory of the Issuer, stating that the circumstances referred to above prevail and setting out the details of such circumstances; and

(xxii)

an opinion of the Issuer’s independent auditors stating that the circumstances referred to above prevail and the date on which the relevant change or amendment to the Relevant Accounting Standard is due to take effect, provided that the Principal Agent may accept such certificate or opinion without further investigation or enquiry, and

(mm) provided, however that no notice of redemption may be given under this Condition 7(C) earlier than 90 days prior to the date on which the relevant change or amendment to the Relevant Accounting Standard is due to take effect in relation to the Issuer.

Upon the expiry of any such notice as is referred to in this Condition 7(C), the Issuer shall be bound to redeem the Securities in accordance with this Condition 7(C) provided that such date for redemption shall be no earlier than the last day before the date on which the Securities must not or must no longer be so recorded as “equity” of the Issuer pursuant to the Relevant Accounting Standard.

A “Rating Disqualification Event” is deemed to have occurred if an amendment, clarification or change has occurred in the equity credit methodology of Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., a subsidiary of Moody’s Corporation (“Moody’s”) or S&P Global Ratings Inc. (“S&P”) and in each case, any of their respective successors to the rating business thereof, which amendment, clarification or change results in a lower equity credit for the Securities than the equity credit assigned on the Issue Date or, if equity credit is not assigned on the Issue Date, at the date when equity credit is assigned for the first time.

(nn) Prior to the publication of any notice of redemption pursuant to this Condition 7(D), the Issuer shall deliver or procure that there is delivered to the Trustee a certificate signed by two directors of the Issuer, each of whom is also an Authorised Signatory of the Issuer, stating that the circumstances referred to above in this Condition 7(D) prevail and setting out the details of such circumstances.

(oo) Upon the expiry of any such notice as is referred to in this Condition 7(D), the Issuer shall be bound to redeem the Securities in accordance with this Condition 7(D), provided that such date for redemption shall be no earlier than the last day before the date on which the Securities be assigned a lower category of equity credit.

(pp) Neither the Agents nor the Trustee shall be required to monitor or to take any steps to ascertain whether a Rating Disqualification Event or any event which could lead to a Rating Disqualification Event has occurred or may occur.

(V)

Redemption at the Option of the Issuer on a Step-Up

The Securities may be redeemed at the option of the Issuer in whole, but not in part, on giving not more than 60 nor less than 30 days’ irrevocable notice to the Trustee and the Principal Agent in writing and to the Securityholders in accordance with Condition 10 at their principal amount (together with any Distribution accrued to the date fixed for redemption (including any Arrears of Distribution and any Additional Distribution Amount)) at any time following the occurrence of a Triggering Event.

(qq) If there shall occur an event giving rise to a change in the Conversion Price during any such 30 Trading Day period as mentioned in Condition 7(F) above, appropriate adjustments for the relevant days shall be made, as determined by an Independent Investment Bank, for the purpose of calculating the Closing Price for such days.

●

Taxation

17 All payments made by or on behalf of the Issuer in respect of the Securities shall be made free from any restriction or condition and be made without deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or on behalf of the Cayman Islands, Hong Kong or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax, unless deduction or withholding of such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges is compelled by law.

18 In such event, the Issuer shall pay such additional amounts (“Additional Tax Amounts”) as will result in the receipt by the Securityholders of such amounts as would have been received by them had no such deduction or withholding been required, except that no Additional Tax Amounts shall be payable in respect of any Security:

Other connection: to a holder (or to a third party on behalf of a holder) who is liable to such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges in respect of such Security by reason of his having some connection with the Cayman Islands or Hong Kong, other than the mere holding of the Security or by the receipt of amounts in respect of the Security; or

Presentation more than 30 days after the relevant date: (in the case of a payment of principal) if the Certificate in respect of such Security is surrendered more than 30 days after the Relevant Date except to the extent that the holder of it would have been entitled to such additional amounts on surrendering the relevant Certificate for payment on the last day of such period of 30 days

19 “Relevant Date” means whichever is the later of (a) the date on which such payment first becomes due and (b) if the full amount payable has not been received by the Trustee or the Principal Agent on or prior to such due date, the date on which, the full amount having been so received, notice to that effect shall have been given to the Securityholders and cheques despatched or payment made.

20 References in these Conditions to principal, premium and Distribution (including any Arrears of Distribution and Additional Distribution Amount) shall be deemed also to refer to any Additional Tax Amounts which may be payable under this Condition 8 or any undertaking or covenant given in addition thereto or in substitution therefor pursuant to the Trust Deed.

●	Non-payment

(DD)

Non-payment when due

Notwithstanding any of the provisions below in this Condition 9, the right to institute Winding-Up proceedings is limited to circumstances where payment has become due. In the case of any Distribution, such Distribution will not be due if the Issuer has elected to, or is required to, defer that Distribution in accordance with Condition 4(C).

(EE)

Proceedings for Winding-Up

If (i) an order is made or an effective resolution is passed for the Winding-Up of the Issuer or (ii) the Issuer shall not make payment in respect of the Securities, for a period of ten days or more after the date on which such payment is due, the Issuer shall be deemed to be in default under the Trust Deed and the Securities and the Trustee may, subject to the provisions of Condition 9(C), institute proceedings for the Winding-Up of the Issuer and/or prove in the Winding-Up of the Issuer and/or claim in the liquidation of the Issuer for such payment.

(FF)

Enforcement

Without prejudice to Condition 9(B) but subject to the provisions of Condition 9(D), the Trustee may (but is not obliged to) at its discretion and without notice to the Issuer take such steps and/or actions and/or institute such proceedings against the Issuer as it may think fit to enforce any term or condition binding on the Issuer under the Trust Deed or the Securities (other than any payment obligation of the Issuer under or arising from the Securities or the Trust Deed, including, without limitation, payment of any principal or premium or satisfaction of any Distributions (including any Arrears of Distribution and any Additional Distribution Amount) in respect of the Securities, including any damages awarded for breach of any obligations) and in no event shall the Issuer, by virtue of the taking or such steps or actions and/or the institution of any such proceedings, be obliged to pay any sum or sums, in cash or otherwise, sooner than the same would otherwise have been payable by it.

(GG)

Entitlement of Trustee

The Trustee shall not, and shall not be obliged to, take any of the actions referred to in Condition 9(B) or Condition 9(C) above against the Issuer to enforce the terms of the Trust Deed or the Securities unless (a) it shall have been so directed by an Extraordinary Resolution of the Securityholders or requested in writing by the Securityholders of at least 25 per cent. in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding and (b) it shall have been indemnified and/or secured and/or pre-funded to its satisfaction.

(HH)

Right of Securityholders

No Securityholders shall be entitled to proceed directly against the Issuer or to institute proceedings for the Winding-Up of the Issuer or claim in the liquidation of the Issuer to prove in such Winding-Up unless the Trustee, having become so bound to proceed or being able to prove in such Winding-Up or claim in such liquidation, fails to do so within a reasonable period and such failure shall be continuing, in which case the Securityholders shall have only such rights against the Issuer as those which the Trustee is entitled to exercise as set out in this Condition 9, provided, however, that this Condition 9 shall not affect the rights of the Securityholders to institute proceedings against the Issuer in connection with the Conversion Right.

(II)

Extent of Securityholders’ remedy

No remedy against the Issuer, other than as referred to in this Condition 9, shall be available to the Trustee or the Securityholders, whether for the recovery of amounts owing in respect of the Securities or under the Trust Deed or in respect of any breach by the Issuer of any of its other obligations under or in respect of the Securities or under the Trust Deed, provided, however, that this Condition 9 shall not affect the rights of the Securityholders to institute proceedings against the Issuer in connection with the Conversion Right.

●

Notices

21 All notices to Securityholders shall be validly given if mailed to them at their respective addresses in the Register or published in a leading newspaper having general circulation in Hong Kong or, if such publication is not practicable, in an English language newspaper having general circulation in Asia (which is expected to be the Asian Wall Street Journal) and so long as the Securities are listed on SGX-ST and if the rules of the SGX-ST so require, published in a leading newspaper having general circulation in Singapore (which is expected to be The Business Times). Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the later of the date of such publication and the seventh day after being so mailed, as the case may be.

22 So long as the Securities are represented by the Global Certificate and the Global Certificate is held on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream or the Alternative Clearing System (as defined in the form of the Global Certificate), notices to Securityholders shall be given by delivery of the relevant notice to Euroclear or Clearstream or the Alternative Clearing System, for communication by it to entitled accountholders in substitution for notification as required by the Conditions.

●	Prescription

23 Claims in respect of amounts due in respect of the Securities shall be prescribed and become void unless made as required by Condition 7 within 10 years (in the case of principal) and five years (in the case of Distributions) from the appropriate Relevant Date.

●	Replacement of Certificates

24 If any Certificate is lost, stolen, mutilated, defaced or destroyed, it may be replaced at the specified office of the Registrar or any Transfer Agent, subject to all applicable laws and stock exchange requirements, upon payment by the claimant of the expenses incurred in connection with such replacement and on such terms as to evidence and indemnity and/or security as the Issuer and the Registrar or such Transfer Agent may require. Mutilated or defaced Certificates must be surrendered before replacements will be issued.

(JJ)

Meetings of Securityholders

(kkk) The Trust Deed contains provisions for convening meetings of Securityholders to consider matters affecting their interests, including the sanctioning by Extraordinary Resolution of a modification of any of these Conditions or any provisions of the Trust Deed. Such a meeting may be convened by the Issuer or the Trustee and shall be convened by the Trustee if it receives a written request from Securityholders holding not less than 10 per cent in principal amount of the Securities for the time being outstanding and subject to it being indemnified and/or secured and/or pre-funded to its satisfaction against all costs and expenses. The quorum for any meeting convened to consider an Extraordinary Resolution will be two or more persons holding or representing more than 50 per cent. in principal amount of the Securities for the time being outstanding or, at any adjourned such meeting, two or more persons being or representing Securityholders whatever the principal amount of the Securities held or represented, unless the business of such meeting includes consideration of proposals, inter alia, (a) to modify the Optional Redemption Date, (b) to modify the circumstances in which the Issuer or Securityholders are entitled to redeem the Securities pursuant to Condition 7(C) to reduce or cancel the principal amount, any premium payable, any Distribution payable or Equivalent Amount payable in respect of the Securities or changing the method of calculation of interest, (d) to change the currency of denomination or payment of the Securities, (e) to modify (except by a unilateral and unconditional reduction in the Conversion Price) or cancel the Conversion Rights, or (f) to modify the provisions concerning the quorum required at any meeting of the Securityholders or the majority required to pass an Extraordinary Resolution, in which case the necessary quorum will be two or more persons holding or representing not less than 66 per cent., or at any adjourned meeting not less than 33 per cent., in principal amount of the Securities for the time being outstanding. Any Extraordinary Resolution duly passed shall be binding on Securityholders (whether or not they were present at the meeting at which such resolution was passed).

(lll) The Trust Deed provides that a written resolution signed by or on behalf of the holders of not less than 90 per cent. of the principal amount of Securities for the time being outstanding shall be as valid and effective as a duly passed Extraordinary Resolution. Such a resolution in writing may be contained in one document or several documents in the same form, each signed by or on behalf of one or more Securityholders.

Modification and Waiver

(mmm) The Trustee may (but shall not be obliged to) agree, without the consent of the Securityholders, to (a) any modification of any of the provisions of the Trust Deed, any trust deed supplemental to the Trust Deed, the Agency Agreement, any agreement supplemental to the Agency Agreement, the Securities or these Conditions (together the “Documentation”) which in the Trustee’s opinion is of a formal, minor or technical nature, or is made to correct a manifest error, or is made to comply with mandatory provisions of law, and (b) any other modification to the Documentation (except as mentioned in the Trust Deed), and any waiver or authorisation of any breach or proposed breach, of any of the provisions of the Documentation which is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not materially prejudicial to the interests of the Securityholders. Any such modification, authorisation or waiver shall be binding on the Securityholders and, unless the Trustee agrees otherwise, such modification, authorisation or waiver shall be notified by the Issuer to the Securityholders promptly in accordance with Condition 10.

Substitution

(nnn) The Trustee may (but shall not be obliged to), without the consent of the Securityholders, agree to the substitution in place of the Issuer (or any previous substitute or substitutes under this Condition 13(C)) as the principal debtor under the Securities and the Trust Deed of any Subsidiary of the Issuer subject to (a) the Securities being unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by the Issuer, and (b) the Securities continuing to be convertible or exchangeable into Shares as provided in these Conditions mutatis mutandis as provided in these Conditions, with such amendments as the Trustee shall consider appropriate subject to in any such case, (x) the Trustee being satisfied that the interests of the Securityholders will not be materially prejudiced by the substitution, and (y) certain other conditions set out in the Trust Deed being complied with. In the case of such a substitution the Trustee may (but shall not be obliged to) agree, without the consent of the Securityholders, to a change of the law governing the Securities and/or the Trust Deed provided that such change would not in the opinion of the Trustee be materially prejudicial to the interests of the Securityholders. Any such substitution shall be binding on the Securityholders and shall be notified by the Issuer to the Securityholders promptly in accordance with Condition 10.

Entitlement of the Trustee

(ooo) In connection with the exercise of its functions (including but not limited to those referred to in this Condition 13(D)) the Trustee shall have regard to the interests of the Securityholders as a class and shall not have regard to the consequences of such exercise for individual Securityholders and the Trustee shall not be entitled to require, nor shall any Securityholder be entitled to claim from the Issuer, any indemnification or payment in respect of any tax consequences of any such exercise upon individual Securityholders.

(ppp) In the event of the passing of an Extraordinary Resolution in accordance with Condition 13(A), a modification, waiver or authorisation in accordance with Condition 13(B) or a substitution in accordance with Condition 13(C), the Issuer will procure that the Securityholders be notified in accordance with Condition 10.

●	Indemnification of the Trustee

25 The Trust Deed contains provisions for the indemnification of the Trustee and for its relief from responsibility including from taking proceedings unless indemnified and/or secured and/or pre-funded of its satisfaction. The Trustee is entitled to enter into business transactions with the Issuer and any entity related to the Issuer without accounting for any profit.

26 None of the Trustee or any of the Agents shall be responsible for the performance by the Issuer and any other person appointed by the Issuer in relation to the Bonds of the duties and obligations on their part expressed in respect of the same and, unless it has written notice from the Issuer to the contrary, the Trustee and each Agent shall be entitled to assume that the same are being duly performed. None of the Trustee or any Agent shall be liable to any Securityholder or any other person for any action taken by the Trustee or such Agent in accordance with the instructions, direction or request of the Securityholders. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on any instructions, direction, request or resolution of Securityholders given by holders of the requisite principal amount of Securities outstanding or passed at a meeting of Securityholders convened and held in accordance with the Trust Deed. Whenever the Trustee is required or entitled by the terms of the Trust Deed, the Agency Agreement or these Conditions to exercise any discretion or power, take any action, make any decision or give any direction or certification, the Trustee is entitled, prior to its exercising any such discretion or power, taking any such action, making any such decision, or giving any such direction or certification, to seek directions from the Securityholders by way of an Extraordinary Resolution, and shall have been indemnified and/or provided with security and/or pre-funded to its satisfaction against all action, proceedings, claims and demands to which it may be or become liable and all costs, charges, damages expenses (including but not limited to legal expenses) and liabilities which may be incurred by it in connection therewith, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any loss or liability incurred by any person as a result of any delay in it exercising such discretion or power, taking such action, making such decision, or giving such direction where the Trustee is seeking such directions or in the event that no such directions or certifications are received. The Trustee shall not be under any obligation to monitor compliance with the provisions of the Trust Deed, the Agency Agreement or these Conditions.

27 The Trustee may rely without liability to Securityholders on any report, confirmation or certificate or any opinion or advice of any accountants, lawyers, financial advisers, financial institution or any other expert, whether or not addressed to it and whether their liability in relation thereto is limited (by its terms or by any engagement letter relating thereto entered into by the Trustee or any other person or in any other manner) by reference to a monetary cap, methodology or otherwise. The Trustee may accept and shall be entitled to rely on any such report, confirmation, certificate, opinion or advice and such report, confirmation, certificate, opinion or advice shall be binding on the Issuer, the Trustee and the Securityholders.

●	Further Issues

28 The Issuer may from time to time without the consent of the Securityholders create and issue further securities either having the same terms and conditions as the Securities in all respects and so that such further issue shall be consolidated and form a single series with the Securities. References in these Conditions to the Securities include (unless the context requires otherwise) any other securities issued pursuant to this Condition 15 and forming a single series with the Securities. Any further securities forming a single series with the Securities constituted by the Trust Deed or any deed supplemental to it shall be constituted by a deed supplemental to the Trust Deed.
