 Depositing ordinary shares trading in Hong Kong for delivery of ADSs 
 An investor who holds ordinary shares registered in Hong Kong and who intends to exchange them for ADSs to trade on Nasdaq must deposit or have his or her broker deposit the ordinary shares with the depositary’s Hong Kong custodian, The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, Hong Kong, in exchange for ADSs. 
 A deposit of ordinary shares in exchange for ADSs involves the following procedures: 
 

•   If ordinary shares have been deposited with CCASS, the investor must transfer ordinary shares to the depositary’s account with the custodian within CCASS by following the CCASS procedures for transfer and submit and deliver a duly completed and signed ADS delivery form to the custodian via his or her broker.

•   If ordinary shares are held outside CCASS, the investor must arrange for the deposit of his or her ordinary shares into CCASS and then proceed as described above.

•   Upon payment of its fees and expenses and of any taxes or charges, such as stamp duties or stock transfer taxes or fees, if applicable, the depositary will register the corresponding number of ADSs in the name(s) requested by an investor and will deliver the ADSs as instructed in the ADS delivery form.

For ordinary shares held outside CCASS in physical form, the above steps may take 14 business days, or more, to complete. Temporary delays may arise. For example, the transfer books of the depositary may from time to time be closed to ADS issuances. The investor will be unable to trade the ADSs until the procedures are completed.
