 Cayman’s assets
are located outside the United States. In addition, the significant majority of CAAS Cayman’s directors and officers are nationals
or residents of jurisdictions other than the United States and all or a majority portion of their assets are located outside the United
States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon CAAS Cayman or these
persons, or to bring an action against CAAS Cayman or against these persons in the United States, in the event that you believe that your
rights have been infringed under the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States. It may also be difficult
for you to enforce in U.S. courts judgments obtained in U.S. courts based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities
laws against CAAS Cayman and its officers and directors.

of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States, or (2) entertain original actions brought in the Cayman
Islands against CAAS Cayman or its directors or officers, predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state in the
United States.

Maples and Calder (Hong Kong) LLP has informed

States (and the Cayman Islands are not a party to any treaties for the reciprocal enforcement or recognition of such judgments), a judgment
obtained in such jurisdiction will be recognized and enforced in the courts of the Cayman Islands at common law, without any re-examination
of the merits of the underlying dispute, by an action commenced on the foreign judgment debt in the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands,
provided such judgment (a) is given by a foreign court of competent jurisdiction, (b) imposes on the judgment debtor a liability
to pay a liquidated sum for which the judgment has been given, (c) is final, (d) is not in respect of taxes, a fine or a penalty,
and (e) was not obtained in a manner and is not of
