In
July 2014, SAFE promulgated the Circular on Relevant Issues Concerning Foreign Exchange Control on Domestic Residents’ Offshore
Investment and Financing and Roundtrip Investment Through Special Purpose Vehicles, or SAFE Circular 37, to replace the Notice on Relevant
Issues Concerning Foreign Exchange Administration for Domestic Residents’ Financing and Roundtrip Investment Through Offshore Special
Purpose Vehicles, or SAFE Circular 75, which ceased to be effective upon the promulgation of SAFE Circular 37.

SAFE
Circular 37 requires PRC residents (including PRC individuals and PRC corporate entities) to register with SAFE or its local branches
in connection with their direct or indirect offshore investment activities. SAFE Circular 37 applies to our shareholders who are PRC
residents and may apply to any offshore acquisitions that we make in the future.

Under
SAFE Circular 37, PRC residents who make, or have prior to the implementation of SAFE Circular 37 made, direct or indirect investments
in offshore special purpose vehicles, or SPVs, must register such investments with SAFE or its local branches. In addition, any PRC resident
who is a direct or indirect shareholder of an SPV must update its filed registration with the local branch of SAFE with respect to that
SPV, to reflect any material change.

If
our shareholders who are PRC residents or entities fail to make the required registration or to update the previously filed registration,
any PRC subsidiaries may be prohibited from distributing their profits and any proceeds from any reduction in capital, share transfer
or liquidation to us, and we may be restricted in our ability to contribute additional capital to any PRC subsidiaries. On February 13,
2015, SAFE promulgated a Notice on Further Simplifying and Improving Foreign Exchange Administration Policy on Direct Investment, or
SAFE Notice 13, which became effective on June 1, 2015.

Under
SAFE Notice 13, applications for foreign exchange registration of inbound foreign direct investments and outbound overseas direct investments,
including those required under SAFE Circular 37, will be filed with qualified banks instead of SAFE. The qualified banks will directly
examine the applications and accept registrations under the supervision of SAFE.

We
have requested PRC residents who we know hold direct or indirect interests in us to make the necessary applications, filings and registrations
as required under SAFE Circular 37. We believe that most of these shareholders have completed the initial foreign exchange registrations
