or SAFE Circular 37. SAFE Circular 37 requires PRC residents (including PRC individuals and PRC corporate entities as well as foreign
individuals that are deemed as PRC residents for foreign exchange administration purpose) to register with SAFE or its local branches
in connection with their direct or indirect offshore investment activities. SAFE Circular 37 is applicable to our shareholders who are
PRC residents and may be applicable 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, will be required to register such investments with SAFE or its local branches. In addition, any PRC resident who is a direct
or indirect shareholder of an SPV, is required to update its filed registration with the local branch of SAFE with respect to that SPV,
to reflect any material change, including, among other things, any major change of a PRC resident shareholder, name or term of operation
of the SPVs, or any increase or reduction of the SPVs’ registered capital, share transfer or swap, merger or division. Moreover,
any subsidiary of such SPV in China is required to urge the PRC resident shareholders to update their registration with the local branch
of SAFE. If any PRC shareholder of such SPV fails to make the required registration or to update the previously filed registration, the
subsidiary of such SPV in China may be prohibited from distributing its profits or the proceeds from any capital reduction, share transfer
or liquidation to the SPV, and the SPV may also be prohibited from making additional capital contributions into its subsidiary in China.
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 or its branches. The qualified banks will directly examine the applications and accept
registrations under the supervision of SAFE.
