Approximately 75.99% of the Company’s total outstanding shares voted in person or by proxy at today’s extraordinary general meeting (“EGM”). Of these ordinary shares voted in person or by proxy at the EGM, approximately 99.84% were voted in favor of the proposal to authorize and approve the Merger Agreement, the Plan of Merger and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger.

The Company will work with various other parties to the Merger Agreement to satisfy all other conditions precedent to the Merger set forth in the Merger Agreement and complete the Merger as quickly as possible. If and when completed, the Merger would result in the Company becoming a privately held company wholly owned by Parent, and its American depositary shares, each representing thirty-five ordinary shares of the Company, would no longer be listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market.
