(2) The Unicom A Share Company exercises indirect share-holding of China Unicom (Hong Kong) Limited (hereinafter referred to as
“the Unicom Red-chip Company”) through China Unicom (BVI) Limited (“the Unicom BVI Company”). Registered in the Hong Kong SAR, China (hereinafter referred to as “Hong Kong”), the Unicom Red-chip Company is a

(4) On May 24, 2008, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), National Development and Reform Commission
(NDRC) and Ministry of Finance jointly issued a <Circular on Deepening the Reform of China’s Telecom System>. Accordingly, the Chinese government moved to deepen the reform of the telecom system by endorsing the formation of three
leading market players that feature nationwide network resources, roughly equivalent power and size and the capacity to run fully-integrated services, as well as by encouraging China Telecom to acquire China Unicom’s CDMA facilities and the
merger of China Unicom and China Netcom. In response to the call for deepening reform and implementing restructuring in the telecom sector, the Unicom Red-chip Company and China Netcom Group Corporation (Hong Kong) Limited (a company organized as
