Pursuant to the ISDA Agreement, HTCI, which intends to participate in the Global Offering as a placee, will hold the beneficial interests of the Offer Shares on a non-discretionary basis as the single underlying holder under a back-to-back total return swap (the “Huatai Back-to-back TRS ”) to be entered by HTCI in connection with a Huatai Client TRS (as defined below) placed by and fully funded (i.e. with no financing provided by HTCI) by certain onshore independent third- party investors (the “Huatai Ultimate Clients ”), by which, HTCI will pass the full economic exposure of the Offer Shares to the Huatai Ultimate Clients, which in effect, HTCI will hold the beneficial interests of the Offer Shares on behalf of the Huatai Ultimate Clients.

Upon the termination upon maturity or early termination of the Huatai Client TRS by the Huatai Ultimate Clients, HTCI will dispose the Offer Shares on the secondary market and the Huatai Ultimate Clients will receive a final termination amount of the Huatai Back-to-back TRS which should have taken into account all the economic returns or economic loss in relation to the Offer Shares. If upon the maturity of the Huatai Client TRS, the Huatai Ultimate Clients intend to extend the investment period, subject to further agreement between Huatai Securities and the relevant Huatai Ultimate Clients, the term of the Huatai Client TRS could be extended by way of a new issuance or a tenor extension. Accordingly, Huatai Securities will extend the term of the Huatai Back-to-back TRS by way of a new issuance or a tenor extension. It is proposed that HTCI will hold the legal title and the voting right of the Offer Shares by itself, and pass through the economic exposure to the Huatai Ultimate Clients, each being an onshore client who places a Huatai Client TRS order with Huatai Securities in connection with the IPO of the Company. Due to its internal policy, HTCI will not exercise the voting right of the Offer Shares during the tenor of the Huatai Back-to-back TRS.
