 enforce a foreign judgment against us if they decide that the
judgment violates the basic principles of PRC law or national sovereignty, security or public interest. As a result, it is uncertain whether and on what basis a PRC court would enforce a judgment rendered by a court in the U.S. or in the Cayman
Islands. Under the PRC Civil Procedures Law, foreign shareholders may originate actions based on PRC law against a company in the PRC for disputes if they can establish sufficient nexus to the PRC for a PRC court to have jurisdiction, and meet other
procedural requirements, including, among others, the plaintiff must have a direct interest in the case, and there must be a concrete claim, a factual basis and a cause for the suit. It may be, however, difficult for U.S. shareholders to originate

against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the U.S. or any State in the U.S., so far as the liabilities imposed by those provisions are penal in nature. In those circumstances,
although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the U.S., the courts of the Cayman Islands will recognize and enforce such judgment 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, provided such judgment (a) is given by a foreign court of competent
jurisdiction; (b) imposes upon the judgment debtor a liability to pay a liquidated sum for which the judgment has been
