Who is entitled to vote?

You may vote if you owned ordinary shares of the Company as of the close of business on November 14, 2025, which we refer to as the “Record Date”. Each ordinary share is entitled to one vote. As of November 14, 2025, we had 11,000,000 ordinary shares issued and outstanding.

What is the difference between holding shares as a shareholder of record and as a beneficial owner?

Certain of our Shareholders hold their shares in an account at a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee holder, rather than holding share certificates in their own name. As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and those owned beneficially.

Shareholder of Record/Registered Shareholders

If, on the Record Date, your shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, VStock Transfer LLC, you are a “Shareholder of Record” who may vote at the Annual General Meeting, and we are sending these proxy materials directly to you. As the Shareholder of Record, you have the right to direct the voting of your shares by returning the enclosed proxy card to us or to vote in person at the Annual General Meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual General Meeting, please complete, date and sign the enclosed proxy card to ensure that your vote is counted.

Beneficial Owner

If, on the Record Date, your shares were held in an account at a brokerage firm or at a bank or other nominee holder, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held “in street name,” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your broker or nominee who is considered the Shareholder of Record for purposes of voting at the Annual General Meeting. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker on how to vote your shares and to attend the Annual General Meeting. However, since you are not the Shareholder of Record, you may not vote these shares in person at the Annual General Meeting unless you receive a valid proxy from your brokerage firm, bank or other nominee holder. To obtain a valid proxy, you must make a special request of your brokerage firm, bank or other nominee holder. If you do not make this request, you can still vote by using the voting instruction card enclosed with this proxy statement; however, you will not be able to vote in person at the Annual General Meeting.

7

How do I vote before the Annual General Meeting?

If you are a registered shareholder, meaning that you hold your shares in certificate form, you have the following voting options:

(1)    by Internet, which we encourage if you have Internet access, at the address shown on your proxy card;

(2)    by mail, by completing, signing, and returning the enclosed proxy card; or

(3)    during the Annual General Meeting in person.

If you vote via the internet, your electronic vote authorizes the named proxies in the same manner as if you signed, dated, and returned your proxy card. If you vote via the internet, do not return your proxy card.

If you hold your shares through an account with a bank or broker, your ability to vote by the Internet depends on their voting procedures. Please follow the directions that your bank or broker provides.

Can I change my mind after I return my proxy?

You may change your vote at any time before the polls close at the conclusion of voting at the Annual General Meeting. You may do this by (1) signing another proxy card with a later date and returning it to us not less than forty-eight (48) hours before the time for holding the Annual General Meeting at which the person named in such instrument proposes to vote, (2) voting again over the Internet prior to the time of the Annual General Meeting if you are a registered shareholder or have followed the necessary procedures required by your bank or broker, or (3) voting at the Annual General Meeting if you are a registered shareholder or have followed the necessary procedures required by your bank or broker.

What if I return my proxy card but do not provide voting instructions?

Proxies that are signed and returned but do not contain instructions will be voted “FOR” the proposal(s) concerned in accordance with the best judgment of the named proxies on any other matters properly brought before the Annual General Meeting.

What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card or instruction form?

It indicates that your ordinary shares are registered differently and are in more than one account. To ensure that all shares are voted, please either vote each account on the Internet, or sign and return all proxy cards. We encourage you to register all your accounts in the same name and address. Those holding shares through a bank or broker should contact their bank or broker and request consolidation.

How many votes must be present to hold the Annual General Meeting?

Your shares are counted as present at the Annual General Meeting if you attend the Annual General Meeting and vote in person or if you properly return a proxy by internet or mail. In order for us to conduct our Annual General Meeting, at the commencement of the Annual General Meeting, there are two (2) registered shareholders entitled to vote and present in person (or, in the case of a registered shareholder being a corporation, by its duly authorized representative) holding not less than one-third of all votes attaching to issued and outstanding ordinary shares in the Company entitled to vote throughout the Annual General Meeting. This is referred to as a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of establishing a quorum at the Annual General Meeting. If a quorum is not present or represented, the chairman of the Annual General Meeting may adjourn the Annual General Meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the Annual General Meeting, until a quorum is present or represented.

How many votes are needed to approve the Company’s proposals?

Each ordinary share shall be entitled to one (1) vote on all matters subject to the vote at the Annual General Meeting. At the Annual General Meeting, every holder of ordinary shares present in person or by proxy may vote the fully paid ordinary shares held by such holder of ordinary shares. A resolution put to the vote of a meeting shall be decided on a poll. The approval of each of Proposals One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Eight and Nine, including the Increase in Authorized Capital, Share Capital Amendment, Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation, and 2025 Plan requires

8

an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being a resolution passed by a simple majority of the votes cast by such holders of shares of the Company as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy or, in the case of corporations, by their duly authorized representatives, at the Annual General Meeting. The approval of each of Proposals Six and Seven, including the Proposed Change of Company Name, the adoption of the Fourth Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association and Settlement of Fractional Shares requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being a resolution passed by not less than two-thirds of the votes cast by such holders of shares of the Company as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy or, in the case of corporations, by their duly authorized representatives, at the Annual General Meeting. In computing the majority, regard shall be had to the number of votes to which each holder of ordinary shares is entitled.

What are Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes?

All votes will be tabulated by the inspector of election appointed for the Annual General Meeting, who will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes. An abstention is the voluntary act of not voting by a shareholder who is present at the Annual General Meeting and entitled to vote. A broker “non-vote” occurs when a broker nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary power for that particular item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. If you hold your shares in “street name” through a broker or other nominee, your broker or nominee may not be permitted to exercise voting discretion with respect to some of the matters to be acted upon at the Annual General Meeting. If you do not give your broker or nominee specific instructions regarding such matters, your proxy will be deemed a “broker non-vote.”

The question of whether your broker or nominee may be permitted to exercise voting discretion with respect to a particular matter depends on whether the particular proposal is deemed to be a “routine” matter and how your broker or nominee exercises any discretion they may have in the voting of the shares that you beneficially own. Brokers and nominees can use their discretion to vote “uninstructed” shares with respect to matters that are considered to be “routine,” but not with respect to “non-routine” matters. Under the rules and interpretations of the Nasdaq, “non-routine” matters are matters that may substantially affect the rights or privileges of shareholder, such as mergers, shareholder proposals, elections of directors (even if not contested), executive compensation (including any advisory shareholder votes on executive compensation and on the frequency of shareholder votes on executive compensation), and certain corporate governance proposals, even if management-supported.

For any proposal that is considered a “routine” matter, your broker or nominee may vote your shares in its discretion either for or against the proposal even in the absence of your instruction. For any proposal that is considered a “non-routine” matter for which you do not give your broker instructions, the shares will be treated as broker non-votes. “Broker non-votes” occur when a beneficial owner of shares held in street name does not give instructions to the broker or nominee holding the shares as to how to vote on matters deemed “non-routine.” Broker non-votes will not be considered to be shares “entitled to vote” on any “non-routine” matter and therefore will not be counted as having been voted on the applicable proposal. Therefore, if you are a beneficial owner and want to ensure that shares you beneficially own are voted in favor or against any or all of the proposals in this proxy statement, the only way you can do so is to give your broker or nominee specific instructions as to how the shares are to be voted.

Abstentions and broker non-votes are not counted as votes cast on an item and therefore will not affect the outcome of any proposal presented in this proxy statement. Abstention and broker non-votes, if any, will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum present at the Annual General Meeting.

Note that if you are a beneficial holder and do not provide specific voting instructions to your broker, the broker that holds your shares will not be authorized to vote on Proposals Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight and Nine because they are considered a non-routine matter.

Accordingly, we encourage you to provide voting instructions to your broker, whether or not you plan to attend the Annual General Meeting.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE RE-ELECTION OF EACH OF THE CURRENT DIRECTORS NAMED ABOVE.

12

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND BOARD COMMITTEES

The Nasdaq Marketplace Rules generally require that a majority of an issuer’s board of directors must consist of independent directors. The Board currently consists of five directors, including two executive directors and three independent directors. As a result, a majority of members of the Board are independent.

A director is not required to hold any shares in the Company to qualify to serve as a director. The Board may exercise all the powers of the Company to raise or borrow money, and to mortgage or charge its undertaking, property and assets (present and future) and uncalled capital or any part thereof, to issue debentures, debenture stock, bonds or other securities, whether outright or as collateral security for any debt, liability or obligation of the Company or of any third-party.

A director who is in any way, whether directly or indirectly, interested in a contract or proposed contract with the Company is required to declare the nature of his interest at a meeting of the directors. Following a declaration being made, subject to any separate requirement for the Audit Committee’s approval under applicable law or the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq and unless disqualified by the chairman of the relevant board meeting, a director may vote in respect of any contract, proposed contract, or arrangement notwithstanding that he may be interested therein, and if he does so his vote shall be counted and he may be counted in the quorum at any meeting of the directors at which any such contract or proposed contract or arrangement is considered.

The Company has established an Audit Committee, a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and a Compensation Committee. We have adopted a charter for each of the three committees. Each of the committees of the Board shall have the composition and responsibilities described below.

Committees of the Board

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee consists of three directors, namely, Jingyan Wu, Mike Yao Zhou and Dr. Kam Leung Chan, each of whom satisfies the “independence” requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and Section 5605 of the Nasdaq Rules. Jingyan Wu is the chairperson of the Audit Committee. The Board has also determined that Jingyan Wu qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert.” The Audit Committee oversees the Company’s accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of the financial statements of the Company. The Audit Committee is responsible for, among other things:

•        appointing the independent auditors and pre-approving all auditing and non-auditing services permitted to be performed by the independent auditors;

•        reviewing with the independent auditors any audit problems or difficulties and management’s response;

•        discussing the annual audited financial statements with management and the independent auditors;

•        reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness of the Company’s accounting and internal control policies and procedures and any steps taken to monitor and control major financial risk exposures;

•        reviewing and approving all proposed related party transactions;

•        meeting separately and periodically with management and the independent auditors; and

•        monitoring compliance with the Company’s code of ethics and business conduct, including reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness of the Company’s procedures to ensure proper compliance.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee consists of three directors, namely, Jingyan Wu, Mike Yao Zhou and Dr. Kam Leung Chan, each of whom satisfies the “independence” requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and Section 5605 of the Nasdaq Rules. Mike Yao Zhou acts as the chairperson of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee assists the Board in reviewing and approving the compensation structure, including all

13

forms of compensation, relating to the Company’s directors and executive officers. The Company’s chief executive officer may not be present at any committee meeting during which his compensation is deliberated. The Compensation Committee is responsible for, among other things:

•        reviewing and approving, or recommending to the Board for its approval, the compensation for the Company’s chief executive officer and other executive officers;

•        reviewing and recommending to the Board for determination with respect to the compensation of the Company’s non-employee directors;

•        reviewing periodically and approving any incentive compensation or equity plans, programs or similar arrangements; and

•        selecting compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser only after taking into consideration all factors relevant to that person’s independence from management.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee consists of three directors, namely, Mike Yao Zhou, Jingyan Wu and Dr. Kam Leung Chan, each of whom satisfies the “independence” requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and Section 5605 of the Nasdaq Rules. Dr. Kam Leung Chan is the chairperson of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assists the Board in selecting individuals qualified to become the directors and in determining the composition of the Board and its committees. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for, among other things:

•        selecting and recommending to the Board nominees for election by the shareholders or appointment by the Board;

•        reviewing annually with the Board the current composition of the Board with regards to characteristics such as independence, knowledge, skills, experience and diversity;

•        making recommendations on the frequency and structure of Board meetings and monitoring the functioning of the committees of the Board; and

•        advising the Board periodically with regards to significant developments in the law and practice of corporate governance as well as our compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and making recommendations to the Board on all matters of corporate governance and on any remedial action to be taken.

Terms of Directors

The directors may be appointed by a resolution of the Board or by an ordinary resolution of the shareholders. In addition, the Board may, by the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the directors present and voting at a board meeting appoint any person as a director either to fill a casual vacancy on the Board or as an addition to the existing Board. The Company’s officers are elected by and serve at the discretion of the Board. The directors are not subject to a term of office and hold office until such time as they resign or otherwise are removed from office by ordinary resolution of the shareholders. A director will cease to be a director if, among other things, the director (i) becomes bankrupt or has a receiving order made against him or suspends payment or compounds with his creditors; (ii) is found to be or becomes of unsound mind or dies; (iii) resigns his office by notice in writing to the Company; (iv) without special leave of absence from the Board, is absent from three consecutive meetings of the Board and the Board resolves that his office be vacated; (v) is prohibited by law from being a director or; (vi) is removed from office pursuant to the laws of the Cayman Islands or any other provisions of the Company’s memorandum and articles of association.

Duties of Directors

Under Cayman Islands law, the Company’s directors owe fiduciary duties to the Company, including a duty of loyalty, a duty to act honestly, and a duty to act in what they consider in good faith to be in its best interests. The directors must also exercise their powers only for a proper purpose. The directors also owe to the Company a duty to act with skill and care. It was previously considered that a director need not exhibit in the performance of his duties a greater degree of skill than may reasonably be expected from a person of his knowledge and experience. However, English

14

and Commonwealth courts have moved towards an objective standard with regard to the required skill and care and these authorities are likely to be followed in the Cayman Islands. In fulfilling their duty of care to the Company, the directors must ensure compliance with the Company’s memorandum and articles of association, as amended and restated from time to time. The Company has the right to seek damages if a duty owed by the directors is breached. In limited exceptional circumstances, a shareholder may have the right to seek damages in the Company’s name if a duty owed by the directors is breached. You should refer to “Description of Share Capital — Differences in Corporate Law” in the 2025 Annual Report for additional information on the Company’s standards of corporate governance under Cayman Islands law.

The functions and powers of the Board include, among others:

•        convening shareholders’ annual general meetings and reporting its work to shareholders at such meetings;

•        declaring dividends and distributions;

•        appointing officers and determining the term of office of officers;

•        exercising the borrowing powers of the Company and mortgaging the property of the Company; and

•        approving the transfer of shares of the Company, including the registering of such shares in the register of members.

PROPOSAL TWO

APPROVAL, RATIFICATION, AND CONFIRMATION OF THE RE-APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

This proposal requires the affirmative (“FOR”) vote of a majority of votes cast by shareholders present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual General Meeting.

The Company’s Audit Committee appointed Onestop Assurance PAC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, and to authorize the Board and/or the Audit Committee to fix such independent registered public accounting firm’s annual compensation.

In the event that our shareholders fail to ratify the appointment and the authorization, the Audit Committee will reconsider its selection. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may recommend the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the Audit Committee believes that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND THE AUDIT COMMITTEE RECOMMEND A VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL, RATIFICATION, AND CONFIRMATION OF THE RE-APPOINTMENT OF ONESTOP ASSURANCE PAC AS THE COMPANY’S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING MARCH 31, 2026.

Vote Required and Board Recommendation

The affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at the Annual General Meeting is required to approve this proposal. Unless otherwise instructed on the proxy or unless authority to vote is withheld, shares represented by executed proxies will be voted “FOR” this proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will not be counted as votes cast and will not affect the outcome of this proposal, although they will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum present.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL THREE, TO APPROVE THE INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED CAPITAL AS DESCRIBED IN THIS PROPOSAL THREE.

17

PROPOSAL FOUR

TO APPROVE THE SHARE CAPITAL AMENDMENT

Proposed Amendment of Share Capital

The Board approved, and directed that there be submitted to the shareholders of the Company for approval, subject to the approval and implementation of the Increase in Authorized Capital, by an ordinary resolution, to approve the Share Capital Amendment from US$1,000,000 divided into 1,000,000,000 ordinary shares of par value of US$0.001 each, to US$1,000,000 divided into 1,000,000,000 Ordinary Shares, comprising (i) 940,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares and (ii) 60,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares by:

(a)     re-designating all issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares (being 11,000,000 Ordinary Shares) as a consequence of the resolutions above, into Class A Ordinary Shares with one (1) vote per share and with other rights attached to it in the Fourth Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association on a one for one basis;

(b)    re-designating 60,000,000 authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares into 60,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares with 50 votes per share and with other rights attached to it in the Fourth Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association on a one for one basis;

(c)     re-designating 929,000,000 authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares into Class A Ordinary Shares on a one for one basis;

(d)    as a consequence of the Share Capital Amendment, the authorized share capital of the Company will be changed from US$1,000,000 divided into 1,000,000,000 ordinary shares of par value of US$0.001 each, to US$1,000,000 divided into 1,000,000,000 Ordinary Shares, comprising (i) 940,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares and (ii) 60,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares;

(e)     to authorize the transfer agent and share registrar of the Company to update the listed register of members of the Company as may be necessary to reflect the Share Capital Amendment; and

(f)     to authorize the registered office provider of the Company to make any necessary filing with the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands in connection with the Share Capital Amendment.

Following the Share Capital Amendment, each Class A Ordinary Share would be entitled to one (1) vote and each Class B Ordinary Share would be entitled to 50 votes on all matters subject to vote at general meetings of the Company and with such other rights, preferences and privileges as set forth in the Fourth Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association.

Potential Adverse Effects of Amendment

The proposed change will not affect in any way the validity or transferability of share certificates outstanding, the capital structure of the Company or the trading of the Company’s ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market. If the amendment is passed by the shareholders, it will not be necessary for shareholders to surrender their existing share certificates. Instead, when certificates are presented for transfer, new certificates representing Class A Ordinary Share or Class B Ordinary Share, as the case may be, will be issued.

Future issuances of Class B Ordinary Shares or securities convertible into Class B Ordinary Shares could have a dilutive effect on the Company’s earnings per share, book value per share and the voting power and interest of current holders of ordinary shares which will be converted into Class A Ordinary Shares on a one for one basis. In addition, the availability of additional Class A Ordinary Shares for issuance could, under certain circumstances, discourage or make more difficult any efforts to obtain control of the Company. The Board is not aware of any attempt, or contemplated attempt, to acquire control of the Company, nor is this proposal being presented with the intent that it be used to prevent or discourage any acquisition attempt. However, nothing would prevent the Board from taking any such actions that it deems to be consistent with its fiduciary duties.

18

Effectiveness of Amendment

If the proposed amendment is adopted, it will become effective upon the approval of the shareholders meeting.

Full Text of the Resolution

“RESOLVED, subject to the approval and implementation of the Increase in Authorized Capital, by an ordinary resolution, to approve an amendment of the authorized share capital of the Company from US$1,000,000 divided into 1,000,000,000 ordinary shares of par value of US$0.001 each, to US$1,000,000 divided into 1,000,000,000 ordinary shares of par value of US$0.001 each (“Ordinary Shares”), comprising (i) 940,000,000 class A ordinary shares of par value of US$0.001 each (“Class A Ordinary Shares”) and (ii) 60,000,000 class B ordinary shares of par value of US$0.001 each (the “Class B Ordinary Shares”) by:

(a)     re-designating all issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares as a consequence of the resolutions above, into Class A Ordinary Shares with one (1) vote per share and with other rights attached to it in the Fourth Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (hereinafter defined on a one for one basis;

(b)    re-designating 60,000,000 authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares into 60,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares with 50 votes per share and with other rights attached to it in the Fourth Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association on a one for one basis;

(d)    as a consequence of the Share Capital Amendment, the authorized share capital of the Company will be changed from US$1,000,000 divided into 1,000,000,000 ordinary shares of par value of US$0.001 each, to US$1,000,000 divided into 1,000,000,000 Ordinary Shares, comprising (i) 940,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares and (ii) 60,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares;

(f)     to authorize the registered office provider of the Company to make any necessary filing with the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands in connection with the Share Capital Amendment.”

Vote Required and Board Recommendation

If a quorum is present, the approval of the Share Capital Amendment requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the ordinary shares, who, being present (either in person or by proxy) and entitled to vote at the Annual General Meeting, vote at the Annual General Meeting.

Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as a vote cast at the Annual General Meeting.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL FOUR, TO APPROVE THE SHARE CAPITAL AMENDMENT AS DESCRIBED IN THIS PROPOSAL FOUR

19

PROPOSAL FIVE

REVERSE SHARE SPLIT AND SHARE CONSOLIDATION PROPOSAL

Proposed Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation

The Board of the Company approved, and directed that there be submitted to the shareholders of the Company for approval, subject to the approval and implementation of the Increase in Authorized Capital and the Share Capital Amendment, as an ordinary resolution, a Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation of the Company’s ordinary shares at a specific ratio, of up to one-for-one hundred, but in any case at a ratio of not less than one-for-ten, on the effective date, in each case, as to be determined by the Board.

The Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation will be implemented simultaneously for all Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares, such that the number of authorized and issued Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares is decreased by the Approved Consolidation Ratio, with the par value per Class A Ordinary Share and Class B Ordinary Share increased by the Approved Consolidation Ratio. Such Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation to be effected, at the specific Approved Consolidation Ratio (subject to the above maximum), as to be determined by the Board, and in order to effect the Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation and subject to adjustment pending the Board’s determination of the precise Approved Consolidation Ratio of the Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation, the authorized share capital of the Company shall be altered from US$1,000,000 divided into 1,000,000,000 Ordinary Shares comprising (i) 940,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares, and (ii) 60,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares, to US$1,000,000 divided into (i) as low as 9,400,000 class A ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.1 each and 600,000 class B ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.1 each.

The Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation will affect all shareholders uniformly and will have no effect on the proportionate holdings of any individual shareholder, with the exception of adjustments related to the treatment of fractional shares.

Registration and Trading of our Ordinary Shares

The Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation will not affect our obligation to publicly file financial and other information with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In connection with the Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation, our CUSIP number (which is an identifier used by participants in the securities industry to identify our Class A Ordinary Shares) will change.

Fractional Shares

No fractional ordinary shares will be issued to any shareholders in connection with the Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation. Each shareholder will be entitled to receive one ordinary share in lieu of the fractional share that would have resulted from the Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation.

Reasons for the Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation

The Board deems it is of the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to complete a Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation so that it will be able to continue to meet the minimum bid price requirements set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).

In addition, the Board also believes that the increased market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares expected as a result of implementing the Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation could improve the marketability and liquidity of our Class A Ordinary Shares and may encourage interest and trading in our Class A ordinary shares upon the Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation. The Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation, if effected, could allow a broader range of institutions to invest in our Class A ordinary shares (namely, funds that are prohibited from buying stock whose price is below a certain threshold), potentially increasing the trading volume and liquidity of our Class A ordinary shares. The Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation could help increase analyst and broker interest in Class A ordinary shares, as their policies can discourage them from following or recommending companies with low stock prices. Because of the trading volatility often associated with low-priced stocks, many brokerage houses and institutional investors have internal policies and practices that either prohibit them from investing in low-priced stocks or tend to discourage individual brokers from recommending low-priced stocks to their customers. Some of those

policies and practices may make the processing of trades in low-priced stocks economically unattractive to brokers. Additionally, because brokers’ commissions on low-priced stocks generally represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher-priced stocks, a low average price per share of our Class A ordinary shares can result in individual shareholders paying transaction costs representing a higher percentage of their total share value than would be the case if the share price were higher.

Determination of the Ratio for the Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation

If Proposal Five is approved by the Company’s shareholders, the Board will have the discretion to determine whether it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to move forward with the Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation. If the Board decides to proceed with the Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation, the Approved Consolidation Ratio will be determined by the Board, in its sole discretion. However, the Approved Consolidation Ratio will not be less than a ratio of one-for-ten (1:10) or exceed a ratio of one-for-one hundred (1:100). In determining which Approved Consolidation Ratio to use, the Board will consider numerous factors, including the historical and projected performance of our ordinary shares, or subject to the approval and implementation of the Share Capital Amendment, Class A Ordinary Shares, the effect of the Approved Consolidation Ratio on the Company’s compliance with other Nasdaq listing requirements, prevailing market conditions and general economic trends, and will place emphasis on the expected closing price of the Class A Ordinary Shares in the period following the effectiveness of the Share Consolidation. The Board will also consider the impact of the Approved Consolidation Ratios on investor interest. The purpose of selecting a range is to give the Board the flexibility to meet business needs as they arise, to take advantage of favorable opportunities and to respond to a changing corporate environment. Based on the number of shares of Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately following the approval of Proposal Four, after completion of the Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation, we will have between approximately 9,400,000 and approximately 94,000,000 Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding and between approximately 600,000 and approximately 6,000,000 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding, depending on the Approved Consolidation Ratio selected by the Board.

The following table contains approximate number of issued and outstanding shares of Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares without giving effect to any adjustments for fractional shares of ordinary shares or the issuance of any derivative securities, assuming the approval of Proposal Four.

Risks Associated with the Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation

We cannot predict whether the Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation will increase the market price for the Class A Ordinary Shares. The history of similar share consolidations for companies in like circumstances is varied, and the market price of the Class A Ordinary Shares will also be based on the Company’s performance and other factors, some of which are unrelated to the number of ordinary shares outstanding. Further, there are a number of risks associated with the Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation, including:

(a)     A reverse share split and share consolidation may leave certain shareholders with one or more “odd lots,” which are share holdings in amounts of less than 100 shares of our Class A Ordinary Shares. These odd lots may be more difficult to sell than shares of our Class A Ordinary Shares in even multiples of 100.

(b)    The authorized but unissued shares of our Ordinary Shares could be issued by the Board without further shareholder approval, which could result in dilution to the current holders of our Ordinary Shares.

21

Book-Entry Shares

If the Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation is effected, shareholders who hold uncertificated shares (i.e., shares held in book-entry form and not represented by a physical share certificate), either as direct or beneficial owners, will have their holdings electronically adjusted automatically by our transfer agent (and, for beneficial owners, by their brokers or banks that hold in “street name” for their benefit, as the case may be) to give effect to the Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation. Shareholders who hold uncertificated shares as direct owners will be sent a statement of holding from our transfer agent that indicates the number of post-Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation Ordinary Shares owned in book-entry form.

Certificated Shares

As soon as practicable after the effective time of the Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation, shareholders will be notified that the Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation has been effected. We expect that the Company’s transfer agent will act as exchange agent for purposes of implementing the exchange of share certificates. Holders of pre-consolidation shares will be asked to surrender to the exchange agent certificates evidencing pre-consolidation shares in exchange for certificates evidencing post-consolidation shares in accordance with the procedures to be set forth in a letter of transmittal to be sent by us or our exchange agent. No new certificates will be issued to a shareholder until such shareholder has surrendered such shareholder’s outstanding certificate(s) together with the properly completed and executed letter of transmittal to the exchange agent. Any pre-consolidation shares submitted for transfer, whether pursuant to a sale or other disposition, or otherwise, will automatically be exchanged for post-Share Consolidation Ordinary Shares.

SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY SHARE CERTIFICATE(S) AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY CERTIFICATE(S) UNTIL REQUESTED TO DO SO.

Accounting Matters

The Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation will not affect the share capital account on the Company’s balance sheet. Depending on the size of the Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation the Board decides to implement, the stated capital component will be reduced proportionately based upon the Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation and the additional paid-in capital component will be increased with the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. Immediately after the Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation, the per share net income or loss and net book value of the Ordinary Shares will be increased because there will be fewer shares of Ordinary Shares outstanding. All historic share and per share amounts in our financial statements and related footnotes will be adjusted accordingly for the Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation.

No Going Private Transaction

Notwithstanding the decrease in the number of outstanding shares following the proposed Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation, the Board does not intend for this transaction to be the first step in a “going private transaction” within the meaning of Rule 13e-3 of the Exchange Act.

Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation

Each shareholder should consult its tax advisor as to the particular facts and circumstances which may be unique to such shareholder and also as to any estate, gift, state, local or foreign tax considerations arising out of the Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation.

Interests of Directors and Executive Officers

Our directors and executive officers have no substantial interests, directly or indirectly, in the matters set forth in this proposal except to the extent of their ownership of Ordinary Shares.

Vote Required

Proposal Five will be approved by ordinary resolution if a simple majority of the total votes properly cast in person or by proxy at the Annual General Meeting by the holders of ordinary shares entitled to vote at the Annual General Meeting vote “FOR” the proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the result of the vote.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” APPROVAL OF THE REVERSE SHARE SPLIT AND SHARE CONSOLIDATION.

The full text of the resolution to be voted upon at the Annual General Meeting in respect of Proposal Five is as follows:

“RESOLVED, subject to the approval and implementation of the Increase in Authorized Capital and the Share Capital Amendment, as an ordinary resolution that the Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation of the Company’s issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares:

(a)     to authorize the Board to effect a reverse share split (the “Reverse Share Split”) and share consolidation (the “Share Consolidation”) of the Company’s authorized and issued share capital, at a ratio of up to one-for-one hundred, but in any case at a ratio of not less than one-for-ten (the “Approved Consolidation Ratio”), at a date to be determined by the Board, with the exact ratios to be set at a whole number within this range, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, such that the number of authorized and issued Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares is decreased by the Approved Consolidation Ratio, with the par value per Class A Ordinary Share and Class B Ordinary Share increased by the Approved Consolidation Ratio. Such Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation to be effected, at the specific Approved Consolidation Ratio (subject to the above maximum), as to be determined by the Board, and in order to effect the Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation and subject to adjustment pending the Board’s determination of the precise Approved Consolidation Ratio of the Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation, the authorized share capital of the Company shall be altered from US$1,000,000 divided into 1,000,000,000 Ordinary Shares comprising (i) 940,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares, and (ii) 60,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares, to US$1,000,000 divided into (i) as low as 9,400,000 class A ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.1 each and 600,000 class B ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.1 each;

(b)    to authorize the transfer agent and share registrar of the Company to update the listed register of members of the Company as may be necessary to reflect the Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation; and

(c)     to authorize the registered office provider of the Company to make any necessary filing with the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands in connection with the Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation, be and is hereby approved in all respects.”

23

PROPOSAL SIX

CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME PROPOSAL

Background

The Board has concluded that it is in the Company’s commercial and best interests and proposed to the shareholders to approve that the English name of the Company be changed from “Hong Kong Pharma Digital Technology Holdings Limited” to “Cellyan Biotechnology Co., Ltd”, and the Chinese name of “生研生物公司” be adopted as the dual foreign name of the Company to replace its existing Chinese name of “港药数字科技控股有限公司” with effect from the date on which the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands issues a Certificate of Incorporation on Change of Name confirming that the new name has been registered, and each of the directors and the secretary and the registered office provider of the Company be and is hereby authorized severally to do all such acts and things and execute all such documents as he/she/it may consider necessary, desirable, appropriate or expedient to implement and/or give effect to the Proposed Change of Company Name and to attend to any necessary registration and/or filing for and on behalf of the Company.

Potential Effects and Reasons for the Proposal

The proposed change of the Company’s English and Chinese names is intended to better align the Company’s corporate identity with its evolving business strategy and long-term growth objectives. The new English and Chinese names, “Cellyan Biotechnology Co., Ltd” and “生研生物公司,” respectively, reflect the Company’s expansion into stem cell and clinic development beyond its existing pharmaceutical supply chain services.

The change of name will not affect any of the rights of shareholders, the Company’s share capital, or the validity of currently issued share certificates. Upon the effectiveness of the change, all existing share certificates bearing the former name of the Company will continue to be valid for all legal and trading purposes, and no exchange of share certificates will be required.

Vote Required

Proposal Six will be approved by special resolution if two-thirds (2/3) majority of the total votes properly cast in person or by proxy at the Annual General Meeting by the holders of ordinary shares entitled to vote at the Annual General Meeting vote “FOR” the proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the result of the vote.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” APPROVAL OF THECHANGE OF COMPANY NAME PROPOSAL.

The full text of the resolution to be voted upon at the Annual General Meeting in respect of Proposal Six is as follows:

“RESOLVED as a special resolution that the English name of the Company be changed from “Hong Kong Pharma Digital Technology Holdings Limited” to “Cellyan Biotechnology Co., Ltd”, and the Chinese name of “生研生物公司” be adopted as the dual foreign name of the Company to replace its existing Chinese name of “港药数字科技控股有限公司” (the “Proposed Change of Company Name”) with effect from the date on which the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands issues a Certificate of Incorporation on Change of Name confirming that the new name has been registered, and each of the directors and the secretary and the registered office provider of the Company be and is hereby authorized severally to do all such acts and things and execute all such documents as he/she/it may consider necessary, desirable, appropriate or expedient to implement and/or give effect to the Proposed Change of Company Name and to attend to any necessary registration and/or filing for and on behalf of the Company.”

24

PROPOSAL SEVEN

TO APPROVE AND ADOPT THE FOURTH AMENDED AND RESTATED MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION OF THE COMPANY AND TO APPROVE THE SETTLEMENT OF FRACTIONAL SHARES

Background

The Board deemed advisable, subject to the approval and implementation of the Proposals Three, Four, Five and Six, including the Increase in Authorized Capital, Share Capital Amendment, Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation, and the approval of the Proposed Change of Company Name, and is recommending that our shareholders pass a special resolution to approve and adopt the Fourth Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company (a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement, subject to adjustment solely in respect of the final Approved Consolidation Ratio) to reflect the alteration of the share capital as a result of the Increase in Authorized Capital, Share Capital Amendment, Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation and the Proposed Change of Company Name if and to the extent effected, in substitution for and to the exclusion of, the third amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of the Company.

The draft form of the Fourth Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company assumes that the shareholders have approved the Increase in Authorized Capital, the Share Capital Amendment, the Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation, the Proposed Change of Company Name, and remains subject to shareholders approving Proposals Three, Four, Five and Six. Upon receipt of the approval of the shareholders of the Company by a special resolution, the Fourth Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company shall be adopted as the memorandum and articles of association of the Company with immediate effect, to the exclusion of the Company’s existing third amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.

At the Annual General Meeting, you will also be asked to approve in respect of any and all fractional entitlements to the issued consolidated shares resulting from the Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation, the authorization for Board to settle as they consider expedient any difficulty which arises in relation to the Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation, including but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing: rounding up fractions of shares issued to or registered in the name of such shareholders of the Company following or as a result of the Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation to the nearest whole share, and/or capitalizing all or any part of any amount for the time being standing to the credit of any reserve or fund of the Company (including its share premium account and profit and loss account) whether or not the same is available for distribution and applying such sum in paying up unissued shares to be issued to shareholders of the Company to round up any fractions of shares issued to or registered in the name of such shareholders of the Company following or as a result of the Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation.

Procedure for Implementing the Fourth Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company

Subject to the approval of the Increase in Authorized Capital, the Share Capital Amendment and the Proposed Change of Company Name, the Fourth Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company will become effective immediately upon the approval of the shareholders of the Company by a special resolution. Filing of the final Fourth Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands in accordance with the Companies Act (as revised) of the Cayman Islands would follow.

Purpose of the Proposed Fourth Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company

The Fourth Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company will reflect the alteration of the share capital as a result of the implementation of the Share Capital Amendment, the Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation, the Proposed Change of Company Name, and will be adopted in substitution for and to the exclusion of, the third amended and restated memorandum of association and articles of association of the Company.

The adoption of the Fourth Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company will not affect shareholder rights, voting powers, or the Company’s operations and financial position. Instead, it will provide clarity, consistency, and an up-to-date governing document that accurately reflects the Company’s name and other previously approved changes.

25

Proposal Seven will be approved by special resolution if affirmative vote of a majority of not less than two-thirds of the votes cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at the Annual General Meeting by the holders of ordinary shares entitled to vote at the Annual General Meeting vote “FOR” the proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the result of the vote.

PROPOSAL EIGHT

TO REPURCHASE AND ISSUANCE OF SHARES OF CERTAIN SHAREHOLDER

General

The Board approved, and directed that there be submitted to the shareholders of the Company to approve, by an ordinary resolution, to approve the repurchase of 7,150,000 Class A Ordinary Shares registered in the name of TUTU Business Services Limited in consideration for the allotment and issuance of 7,150,000 Class B Ordinary Shares to TUTU Business Services Limited.

Potential Effects

If shareholders approve this proposal, the repurchase and issuance of shares of certain shareholder will become effective immediately upon such approval.

TUTU Business Services Limited, a BVI business company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, with its registered address at Intershore Chambers, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands, currently holds 7,150,000 ordinary shares of par value of US$0.001 each of Hong Kong Pharma Digital Technology Holdings Limited. Ms. Liying Wang is the sole shareholder and director of TUTU Business Services Limited. Consequently, she may be deemed the beneficial owner of the securities held by TUTU Business Services Limited and exercises voting and dispositive power over such securities. Following effectiveness of the proposed repurchase and issuance of shares, TUTU Business Services Limited will beneficially hold approximately 98.93% of the total voting power of the Company.

Resolution To Be Voted Upon

The full text of the resolution to be proposed is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that, the repurchase by the Company (the “Repurchase”) of 7,150,000 Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company (the “Repurchased Shares”) registered in the name of TUTU Business Services Limited (the “Shareholder”) at an amount equal to the nominal price of US$1 (the “Repurchase Price”) be approved on the following terms:

(a)     that the Repurchase Price be paid to the Shareholder upon Repurchase and the Repurchase Price be paid, out of the proceeds from a fresh issue of 7,150,000 Class B Ordinary Shares of the Company made for the purpose of the Repurchase; and

(b)    that the Repurchased Shares shall be treated as cancelled following the Repurchase; and

(c)     that, following the Repurchase and issue of Class B Ordinary Shares, the Company’s issued share capital shall remain unchanged and the Repurchase shall not be taken as reducing the Company’s authorized share capital.”

Vote Required

This proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative (“FOR”) vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Annual General Meeting, vote at the Annual General Meeting. Unless otherwise instructed on the proxy or unless authority to vote is withheld, shares represented by executed proxies will be voted “FOR” this proposal.

27

PROPOSAL NINE

TO APPROVE THE 2025 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

General

The Board has declared advisable, adopted and is submitting for shareholder approval, the Hong Kong Pharma Digital Technology Holdings Limited 2025 Equity Incentive Plan. The purpose of the 2025 Plan is to attract and retain key personnel and to provide a means for directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors to acquire and maintain an interest in the Company, which interest may be measured by reference to the value of our Ordinary Shares.

If approved by the Company’s shareholders, the 2025 Plan will be effective as of November 14, 2025 (the date that the Board approved the 2025 Plan). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Proposal Nine shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the 2025 Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto. The following description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2025 Plan.

Description of the 2025 Plan

Administration.    The Company’s Compensation Committee will administer the 2025 Plan. The Compensation Committee will have the authority to determine the terms and conditions of any agreements evidencing any Awards granted under the 2025 Plan and to adopt, alter and repeal rules, guidelines and practices relating to the 2025 Plan. The Company’s Compensation Committee will have full discretion to administer and interpret the 2025 Plan and to adopt such rules, regulations and procedures as it deems necessary or advisable.

Eligibility.    Current or prospective employees, directors, officers, advisors or consultants of the Company or its affiliates are eligible to participate in the 2025 Plan. The Company’s Compensation Committee has the sole and complete authority to determine who will be granted an award under the 2025 Plan, however, it may delegate such authority to one or more officers of the Company under the circumstances set forth in the 2025 Plan.

Number of Shares Authorized.    The 2025 Plan provides for an aggregate of 1,100,000 Ordinary Shares to be available for awards. If an award is forfeited or if any option terminates, expires or lapses without being exercised, the Ordinary Shares subject to such award will again be made available for future grant. Ordinary Shares that are used to pay the exercise price of an option or that are withheld to satisfy the Participant’s tax withholding obligation will not be available for re-grant under the 2025 Plan.

Each Ordinary Share subject to an Option or a Share Appreciation Right will reduce the number of Ordinary Shares available for issuance by one share, and each ordinary share underlying an Award of Restricted Share, Restricted Share Units, Share Bonus Awards and Performance Compensation Awards will reduce the number of Ordinary Shares available for issuance by one share.

If there is any change in our corporate capitalization, the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion may make substitutions or adjustments to the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2025 Plan, the number of shares covered by awards then outstanding under the 2025 Plan, the limitations on awards under the 2025 Plan, the exercise price of outstanding options and such other equitable substitution or adjustments as it may determine appropriate.

The 2025 Plan will have a term of ten years and no further awards may be granted under the 2025 Plan after that date.

Awards Available for Grant.    The Company’s Compensation Committee may grant awards of Non-Qualified Share Options, Incentive (qualified) Share Options, Share Appreciation Rights, Restricted Shares, Restricted Share Units, Share Bonus Awards, Performance Compensation Awards (including cash bonus awards) or any combination of the foregoing.

Options.    The Company’s Compensation Committee will be authorized to grant Options to purchase Common Shares that are either “qualified,” meaning they are intended to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 422 for incentive share options, or “non-qualified,” meaning they are not intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Code. Options granted under the 2025 Plan will be subject to the terms and conditions established by the Compensation Committee. Under the terms of the 2025 Plan, the exercise price of the Options will be set forth in the applicable Award agreement. Options granted under the Plan will be subject to such terms, including the exercise price and

28

the conditions and timing of exercise, as may be determined by the Compensation Committee and specified in the applicable Award agreement. The maximum term of an option granted under the 2025 Plan will be ten years from the date of grant (or five years in the case of a qualified option granted to a 10% shareholder).

Share Appreciation Rights.    The Company’s Compensation Committee will be authorized to award Share Appreciation Rights (or SARs) under the 2025 Plan. SARs will be subject to the terms and conditions established by the Compensation Committee. An SAR is a contractual right that allows a participant to receive, either in the form of cash, shares or any combination of cash and shares, the appreciation, if any, in the value of a share over a certain period of time. An Option granted under the 2025 Plan may include SARs and SARs may also be awarded to a participant independent of the grant of an Option. SARs granted in connection with an Option shall be subject to terms similar to the Option corresponding to such SARs. SARs shall be subject to terms established by the Compensation Committee and reflected in the Award agreement.

Restricted Shares.    The Company’s Compensation Committee will be authorized to award Restricted Shares under the 2025 Plan. The Compensation Committee will determine the terms of such Restricted Shares awards. Restricted Shares are Ordinary Shares that generally are non-transferable and subject to other restrictions determined by the Compensation Committee for a specified period. Unless the Compensation Committee determines otherwise or specifies otherwise in an Award agreement, if the participant terminates employment or services during the restricted period, then any unvested Restricted Shares are forfeited.

Restricted Share Unit Awards.    The Company’s Compensation Committee will be authorized to award Restricted Share Unit awards. The Compensation Committee will determine the terms of such Restricted Share Units. Unless the Compensation Committee determines otherwise or specifies otherwise in an Award agreement, if the participant terminates employment or services during the period of time over which all or a portion of the units are to be earned, then any unvested units will be forfeited.

Share Bonus Awards.    The Company’s Compensation Committee will be authorized to grant awards of unrestricted Ordinary Shares or other awards denominated in Ordinary Shares, either alone or in tandem with other awards, under such terms and conditions as the Compensation Committee may determine.

Performance Compensation Awards.    The Company’s Compensation Committee will be authorized to grant any award under the 2025 Plan in the form of a Performance Compensation Award by conditioning the vesting of the award on the attainment of specific levels of performance of the Company and/or one or more Affiliates, divisions or operational units, or any combination thereof, as determined by the Compensation Committee.

Transferability.    Each award may be exercised during the participant’s lifetime only by the participant or, if permissible under applicable law, by the participant’s guardian or legal representative and may not be otherwise transferred or encumbered by a participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. The Compensation Committee, however, may permit awards (other than incentive share options) to be transferred to family members, a trust for the benefit of such family members, a partnership or limited liability Company whose partners or shareholders are the participant and his or her family members or anyone else approved by it.

Amendment.    The 2025 Plan will have a term of ten years. The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the 2025 Plan at any time; however, shareholder approval to amend the 2025 Plan may be necessary if the law or the rules of the national exchange so requires. No amendment, suspension or termination will impair the rights of any participant or recipient of any Award without the consent of the participant or recipient.

Change in Control.    Except to the extent otherwise provided in an Award agreement or as determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion, in the event of a Change in Control, all outstanding options and equity awards (other than performance compensation awards) issued under the 2025 Plan will become fully vested and performance compensation awards will vest, as determined by the Compensation Committee, based on the level of attainment of the specified performance goals.

(b) Subject to the provisions of this Plan and applicable law, the Committee shall have the sole and plenary authority, in addition to other express powers and authorizations conferred on the Committee by this Plan and its charter, to: (i) designate Participants; (ii) determine the type or types of Awards to be granted to a Participant; (iii) determine the number of Class A Ordinary shares to be covered by, or with respect to which payments, rights, or other matters are to be calculated in connection with, Awards; (iv) determine the terms and conditions of any Award; (v) determine whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances Awards may be settled or exercised in cash, Class A Ordinary shares, other securities, other Awards or other property, or canceled, forfeited, or suspended and the method or methods by which Awards may be settled, exercised, canceled, forfeited, or suspended; (vi) determine whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances the delivery of cash, Class A Ordinary shares, other securities, other Awards or other property and other amounts payable with respect to an Award; (vii) interpret, administer, reconcile any inconsistency in, settle any controversy regarding, correct any defect in and/or complete any omission in this Plan and any instrument or agreement relating to, or Award granted under, this Plan; (viii) establish, amend, suspend, or waive any rules, conditions and regulations and appoint such agents as the Committee shall deem appropriate for the proper administration of this Plan; (ix) accelerate the vesting or exercisability of, payment for or lapse of restrictions on, Awards; and (x) make any other determination and take any other action that the Committee deems necessary or desirable for the administration of this Plan.

5

(c) The Committee may delegate to one or more officers of the Company or any Affiliate the authority to act on behalf of the Committee with respect to any matter, right, obligation, or election that is the responsibility of or that is allocated to the Committee herein, and that may be so delegated as a matter of law, except for grants of Awards to persons (i) subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act or (ii) who are, or who are reasonably expected to be, “covered employees” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code.

(d) Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Plan, all designations, determinations, interpretations, and other decisions under or with respect to this Plan or any Award or any documents evidencing Awards granted pursuant to this Plan shall be within the sole discretion of the Committee, may be made at any time and shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all persons or entities, including, without limitation, the Company, any Affiliate, any Participant, any holder or beneficiary of any Award, and any shareholder of the Company.

(e) No member of the Board, the Committee, delegate of the Committee or any employee, advisor or agent of the Company or the Board or the Committee (each such person, an “Indemnifiable Person”) shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken or any determination made in good faith with respect to this Plan or any Award hereunder. Each Indemnifiable Person shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from (and the Company shall pay or reimburse on demand for) any loss, cost, liability, or expense (including attorneys’ fees) that may be imposed upon or incurred by such Indemnifiable Person in connection with or resulting from any action, suit or proceeding to which such Indemnifiable Person may be a party or in which such Indemnifiable Person may be involved by reason of any action taken or omitted to be taken under this Plan or any Award agreement and against and from any and all amounts paid by such Indemnifiable Person with the Company’s approval, in settlement thereof, or paid by such Indemnifiable Person in satisfaction of any judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding against such Indemnifiable Person, provided, that the Company shall have the right, at its own expense, to assume and defend any such action, suit or proceeding and once the Company gives notice of its intent to assume the defense, the Company shall have sole control over such defense with counsel of the Company’s choice. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be available to an Indemnifiable Person to the extent that a final judgment or other final adjudication (in either case not subject to further appeal) binding upon such Indemnifiable Person determines that the acts or omissions of such Indemnifiable Person giving rise to the indemnification claim resulted from such Indemnifiable Person’s bad faith, fraud or willful criminal act or omission or that such right of indemnification is otherwise prohibited by law or by the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such Indemnifiable Persons may be entitled under the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any other power that the Company may have to indemnify such Indemnifiable Persons or hold them harmless.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Plan, the Board may, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, grant Awards and administer this Plan with respect to such Awards. In any such case, the Board shall have all the authority granted to the Committee under this Plan.

5. Grant of Awards; Shares Subject to this Plan; Limitations.

(a) The Committee may, from time to time, grant Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Stock Bonus Awards and/or Performance Compensation Awards to one or more Eligible Persons.

(b) Subject to Section 3, Section 11 and Section 12 of this Plan, the Committee is authorized to deliver under this Plan an aggregate of 1,100,000 Class A Ordinary shares. Each Class A Ordinary share subject to an Option or a Stock Appreciation Right will reduce the number of Class A Ordinary shares available for issuance by one share, and each Class A Ordinary share underlying an Award of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Stock Bonus Awards and Performance Compensation Awards will reduce the number of Class A Ordinary shares available for issuance by one shares.

(c) Class A Ordinary shares underlying Awards under this Plan that are forfeited, cancelled, expire unexercised, or are settled in cash shall be available again for Awards under this Plan at the same ratio at which they were previously granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Class A Ordinary shares shall not be available again for Awards under the Plan: (i) shares tendered or held back upon the exercise of an Option or settlement of an Award to cover the Exercise Price of an Award; (ii) shares that are used or withheld to satisfy tax obligations of the Participant; and (iii) shares subject to a Stock Appreciation Right that are not issued in connection with the stock or share settlement of the SAR upon exercise thereof.

6

(d) Class A Ordinary shares delivered by the Company in settlement of Awards may be authorized and unissued shares, shares held in the treasury of the Company, shares purchased on the open market or by private purchase, or a combination of the foregoing.

(e) Subject to compliance with Section 1.409A-3(f) of the Treasury Regulations, Awards may, in the sole discretion of the Committee, be granted under this Plan in assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by an entity acquired by the Company or with which the Company combines (“Substitute Awards”). The number of Class A Ordinary shares underlying any Substitute Awards shall be counted against the aggregate number of Class A Ordinary shares available for Awards under this Plan.

6. Eligibility. Participation shall be limited to Eligible Persons who have entered into an Award agreement or who have received written notification from the Committee, or from a person designated by the Committee, that they have been selected to participate in this Plan.

7. Options.

(a) Generally. Each Option granted under this Plan shall be evidenced by an Award agreement (whether in paper or electronic medium (including email or the posting on a web site maintained by the Company or a third party under contract with the Company)). Each Option so granted shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 7, and to such other conditions not inconsistent with this Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award agreement. All Options granted under this Plan shall be Nonqualified Stock Options unless the applicable Award agreement expressly states that the Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option. Notwithstanding any designation of an Option, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of Class A Ordinary shares with respect to which Options designated as Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company or any Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such excess Options shall be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options. Incentive Stock Options shall be granted only to Eligible Persons who are employees of the Company and its Affiliates, and no Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to any Eligible Person who is ineligible to receive an Incentive Stock Option under the Code. No Option shall be treated as an Incentive Stock Option unless this Plan has been approved by the shareholders of the Company in a manner intended to comply with the shareholder approval requirements of Section 422(b)(1) of the Code, provided that any Option intended to be an Incentive Stock Option shall not fail to be effective solely on account of a failure to obtain such approval, but rather such Option shall be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option unless and until such approval is obtained. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the terms and conditions of such grant shall be subject to and comply with such rules as may be prescribed by Section 422 of the Code. If for any reason an Option intended to be an Incentive Stock Option (or any portion thereof) shall not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, then, to the extent of such nonqualification, such Option or portion thereof shall be regarded as a Nonqualified Stock Option appropriately granted under this Plan.

(b) Exercise Price. The exercise price (“Exercise Price”) per Class A Ordinary share for each Option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of such share determined as of the Date of Grant; provided, however, that in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an employee who, at the time of the grant of such Option, owns shares representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of shares of the Company or any Affiliate, the Exercise Price per share shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per share on the Date of Grant; and, provided further, that notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Exercise Price shall not be less than the par value per Class A Ordinary share.

(c) Vesting and Expiration. Options shall vest and become exercisable in such manner and on such date or dates determined by the Committee and as set forth in the applicable Award agreement, and shall expire after such period, not to exceed ten (10) years from the Date of Grant, as may be determined by the Committee (the “Option Period”); provided, however, that the Option Period shall not exceed five (5) years from the Date of Grant in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who on the Date of Grant owns shares representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of shares of the Company or any Affiliate; and, provided, further, that notwithstanding any vesting dates set by the Committee, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the exercisability of any Option, which acceleration shall not affect the terms and conditions of such Option other than with respect to exercisability. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in an Award agreement:

(i) an Option shall vest and become exercisable with respect to 100% of the Class A Ordinary shares subject to such Option on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Date of Grant;

7

(ii) the unvested portion of an Option shall expire upon termination of employment or service of the Participant granted the Option, and the vested portion of such Option shall remain exercisable for:

(A) one year following termination of employment or service by reason of such Participant’s death or Disability (with the determination of Disability to be made by the Committee on a case by case basis), but not later than the expiration of the Option Period;

(B) for directors, officers and employees of the Company only, for the remainder of the Option Period following termination of employment or service by reason of such Participant’s Retirement (it being understood that any Incentive Stock Option held by the Participant shall be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option if exercise is not undertaken within 90 days of the date of Retirement);

(C) 90 calendar days following termination of employment or service for any reason other than such Participant’s death, Disability or Retirement, and other than such Participant’s termination of employment or service for Cause, but not later than the expiration of the Option Period; and

(iii) both the unvested and the vested portion of an Option shall immediately expire upon the termination of the Participant’s employment or service by the Company for Cause.

(d) Method of Exercise and Form of Payment. No Class A Ordinary shares shall be delivered pursuant to any exercise of an Option until payment in full of the Exercise Price therefor is received by the Company and the Participant has paid to the Company an amount equal to any federal, state, local and non-U.S. income and employment taxes required to be withheld. Options that have become exercisable may be exercised by delivery of written or electronic notice of exercise to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Award agreement accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price. The Exercise Price shall be payable (i) in cash, check (subject to collection), cash equivalent and/or vested Class A Ordinary shares valued at the Closing Price at the time the Option is exercised (including, pursuant to procedures approved by the Committee, by means of attestation of ownership of a sufficient number of Class A Ordinary shares in lieu of actual delivery of such shares to the Company); provided, however, that such Class A Ordinary shares are not subject to any pledge, charge or other security interest and are Mature Shares and; (ii) by such other method as the Committee may permit in accordance with applicable law, in its sole discretion, including without limitation: (A) in other property having a fair market value (as determined by the Committee in its discretion) on the date of exercise equal to the Exercise Price or (B) if there is a public market for the Class A Ordinary shares at such time, by means of a broker-assisted “cashless exercise” pursuant to which the Company is delivered a copy of irrevocable instructions to a stockbroker or transfer agent to sell the Class A Ordinary shares otherwise deliverable upon the exercise of the Option and to deliver promptly to the Company an amount equal to the Exercise Price or (C) by a “net exercise” method whereby the Company withholds from the delivery of the Class A Ordinary shares for which the Option was exercised that number of Class A Ordinary shares having a Closing Price equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for the Class A Ordinary shares for which the Option was exercised. Any fractional Class A Ordinary shares shall be settled in cash.

(e) Notification upon Disqualifying Disposition of an Incentive Stock Option. Each Participant awarded an Incentive Stock Option under this Plan shall notify the Company in writing immediately after the date he makes a disqualifying disposition of any Class A Ordinary shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of such Incentive Stock Option. A disqualifying disposition is any disposition (including, without limitation, any sale) of such Class A Ordinary shares before the later of (A) two years after the Date of Grant of the Incentive Stock Option or (B) one year after the date of exercise of the Incentive Stock Option. The Company may, if determined by the Committee and in accordance with procedures established by the Committee, retain possession of any Class A Ordinary shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option as agent for the applicable Participant until the end of the period described in the preceding sentence.

(f) Compliance With Laws, etc. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a Participant be permitted to exercise an Option in a manner that the Committee determines would violate the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, if applicable, or any other applicable law or the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or the applicable rules and regulations of any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the securities of the Company are listed or traded or the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association.

8. Stock Appreciation Rights.

(a) Generally. Each SAR granted under this Plan shall be evidenced by an Award agreement (whether in paper or electronic medium (including email or the posting on a web site maintained by the Company or a third party under contract with the Company)). Each SAR so granted shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 8, and to such other conditions not inconsistent with this Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award agreement. Any Option granted under this Plan may include tandem SARs. The Committee also may award SARs to Eligible Persons independent of any Option.

(b) Vesting and Expiration. A SAR granted in connection with an Option shall become exercisable and shall expire according to the same vesting schedule and expiration provisions as the corresponding Option. A SAR granted independent of an Option shall vest and become exercisable and shall expire in such manner and on such date or dates determined by the Committee and shall expire after such period, not to exceed ten years, as may be determined by the Committee (the “SAR Period”); provided, however, that notwithstanding any vesting dates set by the Committee, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the exercisability of any SAR, which acceleration shall not affect the terms and conditions of such SAR other than with respect to exercisability. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in an Award agreement:

(i) a SAR shall vest and become exercisable with respect to 100% of the Class A Ordinary shares subject to such SAR on the third anniversary of the Date of Grant;

(ii) the unvested portion of a SAR shall expire upon termination of employment or service of the Participant granted the SAR, and the vested portion of such SAR shall remain exercisable for:

(A) one year following termination of employment or service by reason of such Participant’s death or Disability (with the determination of Disability to be made by the Committee on a case by case basis), but not later than the expiration of the SAR Period;

(B) for directors, officers and employees of the Company only, for the remainder of the SAR Period following termination of employment or service by reason of such Participant’s Retirement;

(C) 90 calendar days following termination of employment or service for any reason other than such Participant’s death, Disability or Retirement, and other than such Participant’s termination of employment or service for Cause, but not later than the expiration of the SAR Period; and

(iii) both the unvested and the vested portion of a SAR shall expire immediately upon the termination of the Participant’s employment or service by the Company for Cause.

(c) Method of Exercise. SARs that have become exercisable may be exercised by delivery of written or electronic notice of exercise to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Award, specifying the number of SARs to be exercised and the date on which such SARs were awarded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on the last day of the Option Period (or in the case of a SAR independent of an option, the SAR Period), the Closing Price exceeds the Strike Price, the Participant has not exercised the SAR or the corresponding Option (if applicable), and neither the SAR nor the corresponding Option (if applicable) has expired, such SAR shall be deemed to have been exercised by the Participant on such last day and the Company shall make the appropriate payment therefor.

(d) Payment. Upon the exercise of a SAR, the Company shall pay to the Participant an amount equal to the number of shares subject to the SAR that are being exercised multiplied by the excess, if any, of the Closing Price of one Class A Ordinary share on the exercise date over the Strike Price, less an amount equal to any federal, state, local and non-U.S. income and employment taxes required to be withheld. The Company shall pay such amount in cash, in Class A Ordinary shares valued at fair market value, or any combination thereof, as determined by the Committee. Any fractional Class A Ordinary share shall be settled in cash.

9. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units.

(a) Generally. Each grant of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall be evidenced by an Award agreement (whether in paper or electronic medium (including email or the posting on a web site maintained by the Company or a third party under contract with the Company)). Each such grant shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 9, and to such other conditions not inconsistent with this Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award agreement.

9

(b) Restricted Accounts; Escrow or Similar Arrangement. Upon the grant of Restricted Stock, a book entry in a restricted account shall be established in the Participant’s name at the Company’s transfer agent and, if the Committee determines that the Restricted Stock shall be held by the Company or in escrow rather than held in such restricted account pending the release of the applicable restrictions, the Committee may require the Participant to additionally execute and deliver to the Company (i) an escrow agreement satisfactory to the Committee, if applicable, and (ii) the appropriate share power (endorsed in blank) with respect to the Restricted Stock covered by such agreement. If a Participant shall fail to execute an agreement evidencing an Award of Restricted Stock and, if applicable, an escrow agreement and blank share power within the amount of time specified by the Committee, the Award shall be null and void ab initio. Subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 9 and the applicable Award agreement, the Participant generally shall have the rights and privileges of a shareholders as to such Restricted Stock, including without limitation the right to vote such Restricted Stock and the right to receive dividends, if applicable. To the extent Restricted Stock are forfeited, any share certificates issued to the Participant evidencing such shares shall be returned to the Company, and all rights of the Participant to such shares and as a shareholder with respect thereto shall terminate without further obligation on the part of the Company.

(c) Vesting; Acceleration of Lapse of Restrictions. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in an Award agreement: (i) the Restricted Period shall lapse with respect to 100% of the Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Date of Grant; and (ii) the unvested portion of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall terminate and be forfeited upon termination of employment or service of the Participant granted the applicable Award.

(d) Delivery of Restricted Stock and Settlement of Restricted Stock Units. (i) Upon the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to any Restricted Stock, the restrictions set forth in the applicable certificate shall be of no further force or effect with respect to such shares, except as set forth in the applicable Award agreement. If an escrow arrangement is used, upon such expiration, the Company shall deliver to the Participant, or his beneficiary, without charge, the share certificate evidencing the Restricted Stock that have not then been forfeited and with respect to which the Restricted Period has expired (rounded down to the nearest full share). Dividends, if any, that may have been withheld by the Committee and attributable to any particular share of Restricted Stock shall be distributed to the Participant in cash or, at the sole discretion of the Committee, in Class A Ordinary shares having a Closing Price equal to the amount of such dividends, upon the release of restrictions on such share and, if such share is forfeited, the Participant shall have no right to such dividends (except as otherwise set forth by the Committee in the applicable Award agreement).

(ii) Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in an Award agreement, upon the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to any outstanding Restricted Stock Units, the Company shall deliver to the Participant, or his beneficiary, without charge, one Class A Ordinary share for each such outstanding Restricted Stock Unit; provided, however, that the Committee may, in its sole discretion and subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, elect to (i) pay cash or part cash and part Class A Ordinary share in lieu of delivering only Class A Ordinary shares in respect of such Restricted Stock Units or (ii) defer the delivery of Class A Ordinary shares (or cash or part Class A Ordinary shares and part cash, as the case may be) beyond the expiration of the Restricted Period if such delivery would result in a violation of applicable law or the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association until such time as is no longer the case. If a cash payment is made in lieu of delivering Class A Ordinary shares, the amount of such payment shall be equal to the Closing Price of the Class A Ordinary shares as of the date on which the Restricted Period lapsed with respect to such Restricted Stock Units, less an amount equal to any federal, state, local and non-U.S. income and employment taxes required to be withheld.

10. Stock Bonus Awards. The Committee may issue unrestricted Class A Ordinary shares, or other Awards denominated in Class A Ordinary shares, under this Plan to Eligible Persons, either alone or in tandem with other awards, in such amounts as the Committee shall from time to time in its sole discretion determine. Each Stock Bonus Award granted under this Plan shall be evidenced by an Award agreement (whether in paper or electronic medium (including email or the posting on a web site maintained by the Company or a third party under contract with the Company)). Each Stock Bonus Award so granted shall be subject to such conditions not inconsistent with this Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award agreement.

10

11. Performance Compensation Awards.

(a) Generally. The Committee shall have the authority, at the time of grant of any Award described in Sections 7 through 10 of this Plan, to designate such Award as a Performance Compensation Award intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. The Committee shall have the authority to make an award of a cash bonus to any Participant and designate such Award as a Performance Compensation Award intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code.

(b) Discretion of Committee with Respect to Performance Compensation Awards. With regard to a particular Performance Period, the Committee shall have sole discretion to select the length of such Performance Period, the type(s) of Performance Compensation Awards to be issued, the Performance Criteria that will be used to establish the Performance Goal(s), the kind(s) and/or level(s) of the Performance Goals(s) that is (are) to apply and the Performance Formula. Within the first 90 calendar days of a Performance Period (or, if longer or shorter, within the maximum period allowed under Section 162(m) of the Code, if applicable), the Committee shall, with regard to the Performance Compensation Awards to be issued for such Performance Period, exercise its discretion with respect to each of the matters enumerated in the immediately preceding sentence and record the same in writing.

(c) Performance Criteria. The Performance Criteria that will be used to establish the Performance Goal(s) shall be based on the attainment of specific levels of performance of the Company and/or one or more Affiliates, divisions or operational units, or any combination of the foregoing, as determined by the Committee. Any one or more of the Performance Criteria adopted by the Committee may be used on an absolute or relative basis to measure the performance of the Company and/or one or more Affiliates as a whole or any business unit(s) of the Company and/or one or more Affiliates or any combination thereof, as the Committee may deem appropriate, or any of the above Performance Criteria may be compared to the performance of a selected group of comparison companies, or a published or special index that the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate, or as compared to various stock market indices. The Committee also has the authority to provide for accelerated vesting of any Award based on the achievement of Performance Goals pursuant to the Performance Criteria specified in this paragraph. To the extent required under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee shall, within the first 90 calendar days of a Performance Period (or, if longer or shorter, within the maximum period allowed under Section 162(m) of the Code), define in an objective fashion the manner of calculating the Performance Criteria it selects to use for such Performance Period and thereafter promptly communicate such Performance Criteria to the Participant.

(d) Modification of Performance Goal(s). In the event that applicable tax and/or securities laws change to permit Committee discretion to alter the governing Performance Criteria without obtaining shareholder approval of such alterations, the Committee shall have sole discretion to make such alterations without obtaining shareholder approval. The Committee is authorized at any time during the first 90 calendar days of a Performance Period (or, if longer or shorter, within the maximum period allowed under Section 162(m) of the Code, if applicable), or at any time thereafter to the extent the exercise of such authority at such time would not cause the Performance Compensation Awards granted to any Participant for such Performance Period to fail to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, in its sole discretion, to adjust or modify the calculation of a Performance Goal for such Performance Period, based on and in order to appropriately reflect the following events: (i) asset write-downs; (ii) litigation or claim judgments or settlements; (iii) the effect of changes in tax laws, accounting principles, or other laws or regulatory rules affecting reported results; (iv) any reorganization and restructuring programs; (v) extraordinary nonrecurring items as described in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 (or any successor pronouncement thereto) and/or in management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations appearing in the Company’s annual report to shareholders for the applicable year; (vi) acquisitions or divestitures; (vii) any other specific unusual or nonrecurring events, or objectively determinable category thereof; (viii) foreign exchange gains and losses; and (ix) a change in the Company’s fiscal year.

(e) Payment of Performance Compensation Awards.

(i) Condition to Receipt of Payment. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award agreement, a Participant must be employed by the Company on the last day of a Performance Period to be eligible for payment in respect of a Performance Compensation Award for such Performance Period.

11

(ii) Limitation. A Participant shall be eligible to receive payment in respect of a Performance Compensation Award only to the extent that: (A) the Performance Goals for such period are achieved; and (B) all or some of the portion of such Participant’s Performance Compensation Award has been earned for the Performance Period based on the application of the Performance Formula to such achieved Performance Goals.

(iii) Certification. Following the completion of a Performance Period, the Committee shall review and certify in writing whether, and to what extent, the Performance Goals for the Performance Period have been achieved and, if so, calculate and certify in writing that amount of the Performance Compensation Awards earned for the period based upon the Performance Formula. The Committee shall then determine the amount of each Participant’s Performance Compensation Award actually payable for the Performance Period and, in so doing, may apply Negative Discretion.

(iv) Use of Negative Discretion. In determining the actual amount of an individual Participant’s Performance Compensation Award for a Performance Period, the Committee may reduce or eliminate the amount of the Performance Compensation Award earned under the Performance Formula in the Performance Period through the use of Negative Discretion if, in its sole judgment, such reduction or elimination is appropriate. The Committee shall not have the discretion, except as is otherwise provided in this Plan, to (A) grant or provide payment in respect of Performance Compensation Awards for a Performance Period if the Performance Goals for such Performance Period have not been attained; or (B) increase a Performance Compensation Award above the applicable limitations set forth in Section 5 of this Plan.

(f) Timing of Award Payments. Performance Compensation Awards granted for a Performance Period shall be paid to Participants as soon as administratively practicable following completion of the certifications required by this Section 11, but in no event later than two-and-one-half months following the end of the fiscal year during which the Performance Period is completed in order to comply with the short-term deferral rules under Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payment of a Performance Compensation Award may be delayed, as permitted by Section 1.409A-2(b)(7)(i) of the Treasury Regulations, to the extent that the Company reasonably anticipates that if such payment were made as scheduled, the Company’s tax deduction with respect to such payment would not be permitted due to the application of Section 162(m) of the Code.

12. Changes in Capital Structure and Similar Events. In the event of (a) any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Class A Ordinary shares, other securities or other property), recapitalization, share subdivision, consolidation, reorganization, merger, amalgamation, consolidation, split-up, split-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of Class A Ordinary shares or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to acquire Class A Ordinary shares or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event (including, without limitation, a Change in Control) that affects the Class A Ordinary shares, or (b) unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, a Change in Control) affecting the Company, any Affiliate, or the financial statements of the Company or any Affiliate, or changes in applicable rules, rulings, regulations or other requirements of any governmental body or securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system, accounting principles or law, such that in either case an adjustment is determined by the Committee in its sole discretion to be necessary or appropriate, then the Committee shall make any such adjustments that are equitable, including without limitation any or all of the following:

(i) adjusting any or all of (A) the number of Class A Ordinary shares or other securities of the Company (or number and kind of other securities or other property) that may be delivered in respect of Awards or with respect to which Awards may be granted under this Plan (including, without limitation, adjusting any or all of the limitations under Section 5 of this Plan) and (B) the terms of any outstanding Award, including, without limitation, (1) the number of Class A Ordinary shares or other securities of the Company (or number and kind of other securities or other property) subject to outstanding Awards or to which outstanding Awards relate, (2) the Exercise Price or Strike Price with respect to any Award or (3) any applicable performance measures (including, without limitation, Performance Criteria and Performance Goals);

(ii) providing for a substitution or assumption of Awards, accelerating the exercisability of, lapse of restrictions on, or termination of, Awards or providing for a period of time for exercise prior to the occurrence of such event; and

12

(iii) subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, canceling any one or more outstanding Awards and causing to be paid to the holders thereof, in cash, Class A Ordinary shares, other securities or other property, or any combination thereof, the value of such Awards, if any, as determined by the Committee (which if applicable may be based upon the price per Class A Ordinary share received or to be received by other shareholders of the Company in such event), including without limitation, in the case of an outstanding Option or SAR, a cash payment in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value (as of a date specified by the Committee) of the Class A Ordinary shares subject to such Option or SAR over the aggregate Exercise Price or Strike Price of such Option or SAR, respectively (it being understood that, in such event, any Option or SAR having a per share Exercise Price or Strike Price equal to, or in excess of, the fair market value of an Class A Ordinary share subject thereto may be canceled and terminated without any payment or consideration therefor);

provided, however, that in the case of any “equity restructuring” (within the meaning of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) or ASC Topic 718, or any successor thereto), the Committee shall make an equitable or proportionate adjustment to outstanding Awards to reflect such equity restructuring. Any adjustment in Incentive Stock Options under this Section 12 (other than any cancellation of Incentive Stock Options) shall be made only to the extent not constituting a “modification” within the meaning of Section 424(h)(3) of the Code, and any adjustments under this Section 12 shall be made in a manner that does not adversely affect the exemption provided pursuant to Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. The Company shall give each Participant notice of an adjustment hereunder and, upon notice, such adjustment shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes.

13. Effect of Change in Control. Except to the extent otherwise provided in an Award agreement or as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, in the event of a Change in Control, notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, with respect to all or any portion of a particular outstanding Award or Awards:

(a) all of the then outstanding Options and SARs may immediately vest and may become immediately exercisable as of a time prior to the Change in Control;

(b) the Restricted Period may expire as of a time prior to the Change in Control (including without limitation a waiver of any applicable Performance Goals);

(c) Performance Periods in effect on the date the Change in Control occurs may end on such date, and the Committee (i) shall determine the extent to which Performance Goals with respect to each such Performance Period have been met based upon such audited or unaudited financial information or other information then available as it deems relevant and (ii) may cause the Participant to receive partial or full payment of Awards for each such Performance Period based upon the Committee’s determination of the degree of attainment of the Performance Goals, or assuming that the applicable “target” levels of performance have been attained or on such other basis determined by the Committee.

To the extent practicable, any actions taken by the Committee under the immediately preceding clauses (a) through (c) shall occur in a manner and at a time which allows affected Participants the ability to participate in the Change in Control transactions with respect to the Class A Ordinary shares subject to their Awards. In the event no action is taken by the Committee to allow for the changes set forth in immediately preceding clauses (a) through (c), then no changes to the Award shall be effected.

14. Amendments and Termination.

(a) Amendment and Termination of this Plan. The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate this Plan or any portion thereof at any time; provided, that (i) no amendment to the definition of Eligible Employee in Section 2, Section 5(i), Section 11(c) or Section 14(b) (to the extent required by the proviso in such Section 14(b)) shall be made without shareholder approval and (ii) no such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation or termination shall be made without shareholder approval if such approval is necessary to comply with any tax or regulatory requirement applicable to this Plan (including, without limitation, as necessary to comply with any rules or requirements of any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the Class A Ordinary shares may be listed or quoted or to prevent the Company from being denied a tax deduction under Section 162(m) of the Code); and, provided, further, that any such amendment, alteration, suspension,

13

discontinuance or termination that would materially and adversely affect the rights of any Participant or any holder or beneficiary of any Award theretofore granted shall not to that extent be effective without the prior written consent of the affected Participant, holder or beneficiary.

(b) Amendment of Award Agreements. The Committee may, to the extent consistent with the terms of any applicable Award agreement, waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter, suspend, discontinue, cancel or terminate, any Award theretofore granted or the associated Award agreement, prospectively or retroactively; provided, however that any such waiver, amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation or termination that would materially and adversely affect the rights of any Participant with respect to any Award theretofore granted shall not to that extent be effective without the consent of the affected Participant; and, provided, further, that without shareholder approval, except as otherwise permitted under Section 12 of this Plan, (i) no amendment or modification may reduce the Exercise Price of any Option or the Strike Price of any SAR, (ii) the Committee may not cancel any outstanding Option or SAR and replace it with a new Option or SAR, another Award or cash or take any action that would have the effect of treating such Award as a new Award for tax or accounting purposes and (iii) the Committee may not take any other action that is considered a “repricing” for purposes of the shareholder approval rules of the applicable securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the Class A Ordinary shares are listed or quoted.

15. General.

(a) Award Agreements. Each Award under this Plan shall be evidenced by an Award agreement, which shall be delivered to the Participant (whether in paper or electronic medium (including email or the posting on a web site maintained by the Company or a third party under contract with the Company)) and shall specify the terms and conditions of the Award and any rules applicable thereto, including without limitation, the effect on such Award of the death, Disability or termination of employment or service of a Participant, or of such other events as may be determined by the Committee. The Company’s failure to specify any term of any Award in any particular Award agreement shall not invalidate such term, provided such terms was duly adopted by the Board or the Committee.

(b) Nontransferability; Trading Restrictions.

(i) Each Award shall be exercisable only by a Participant during the Participant’s lifetime, or, if permissible under applicable law, by the Participant’s legal guardian or representative. No Award may be assigned, alienated, pledged, charged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by a Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, charge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or an Affiliate; provided that the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge, charge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit Awards (other than Incentive Stock Options) to be transferred by a Participant, with or without consideration, subject to such rules as the Committee may adopt consistent with any applicable Award agreement to preserve the purposes of this Plan, to: (A) any person who is a “family member” of the Participant, as such term is used in the instructions to Form S-8 under the Securities Act (collectively, the “Immediate Family Members”); (B) a trust solely for the benefit of the Participant and his or her Immediate Family Members; or (C) a partnership or limited liability company whose only partners or stockholders, shareholders are the Participant and his or her Immediate Family Members; or (D) any other transferee as may be approved either (I) by the Board or the Committee in its sole discretion, or (II) as provided in the applicable Award agreement (each transferee described in clauses (A), (B) (C) and (D) above is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Transferee”); provided, that the Participant gives the Committee advance written notice describing the terms and conditions of the proposed transfer and the Committee notifies the Participant in writing that such a transfer would comply with the requirements of this Plan.

(i) The terms of any Award transferred in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall apply to the Permitted Transferee and any reference in this Plan, or in any applicable Award agreement, to a Participant shall be deemed to refer to the Permitted Transferee, except that (A) Permitted Transferees shall not be entitled to transfer any Award, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution; (B) Permitted Transferees shall not be entitled to exercise any transferred Option unless there shall be in effect a registration statement on an appropriate form covering the Class A Ordinary shares to be acquired pursuant to the exercise of such Option if the Committee determines, consistent with any applicable Award agreement, that such a registration statement is

14

necessary or appropriate; (C) the Committee or the Company shall not be required to provide any notice to a Permitted Transferee, whether or not such notice is or would otherwise have been required to be given to the Participant under this Plan or otherwise; and (D) the consequences of the termination of the Participant’s employment by, or services to, the Company or an Affiliate under the terms of this Plan and the applicable Award agreement shall continue to be applied with respect to the Participant, including, without limitation, that an Option shall be exercisable by the Permitted Transferee only to the extent, and for the periods, specified in this Plan and the applicable Award agreement.

(iii) The Committee shall have the right, either on an Award-by-Award basis or as a matter of policy for all Awards or one or more classes of Awards, to condition the delivery of vested Class A Ordinary shares received in connection with such Award on the Participant’s agreement to such restrictions as the Committee may determine.

(c) Tax Withholding.

(i) A Participant shall be required to pay to the Company or any Affiliate, or the Company or any Affiliate shall have the right and is hereby authorized to withhold, from any cash, Class A Ordinary shares1, other securities or other property deliverable under any Award or from any compensation or other amounts owing to a Participant, the amount (in cash, Class A Ordinary shares, other securities or other property) of any required withholding taxes in respect of an Award, its exercise, or any payment or transfer under an Award or under this Plan and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Committee or the Company to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such withholding and taxes.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of clause (i) above, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit a Participant to satisfy, in whole or in part, the foregoing withholding liability by (A) the delivery of Class A Ordinary shares (which are not subject to any pledge, charge or other security interest and are Mature Shares) owned by the Participant having a fair market value equal to such withholding liability or (B) having the Company withhold from the number of Class A Ordinary shares otherwise issuable or deliverable pursuant to the exercise or settlement of the Award a number of shares with a fair market value equal to such withholding liability (but no more than the minimum required statutory withholding liability).

(d) No Claim to Awards; No Rights to Continued Employment; Waiver. No employee of the Company or an Affiliate, or other person, shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award under this Plan or, having been selected for the grant of an Award, to be selected for a grant of any other Award. There is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants or holders or beneficiaries of Awards. The terms and conditions of Awards and the Committee’s determinations and interpretations with respect thereto need not be the same with respect to each Participant and may be made selectively among Participants, whether or not such Participants are similarly situated. Neither this Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any Participant any right to be retained in the employ or service of the Company or an Affiliate, nor shall it be construed as giving any Participant any rights to continued service on the Board. The Company or any of its Affiliates may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment or discontinue any consulting relationship, free from any liability or any claim under this Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in this Plan or any Award agreement. By accepting an Award under this Plan, a Participant shall thereby be deemed to have waived any claim to continued exercise or vesting of an Award or to damages or severance entitlement related to non-continuation of the Award beyond the period provided under this Plan or any Award agreement, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in any written employment contract or other agreement between the Company and its Affiliates and the Participant, whether any such agreement is executed before, on or after the Date of Grant.

(e) International Participants. With respect to Participants who reside or work outside of the United States of America and who are not (and who are not expected to be) “covered employees” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee may in its sole discretion amend the terms of this Plan or outstanding Awards (or establish a sub-plan) with respect to such Participants in order to conform such terms with the requirements of local law or to obtain more favorable tax or other treatment for a Participant, the Company or its Affiliates.

(f) Designation and Change of Beneficiary. Each Participant may file with the Committee a written designation of one or more persons as the beneficiary(ies) who shall be entitled to receive the amounts payable with respect to an Award, if any, due under this Plan upon his or her death. A Participant may, from time to time, revoke or change his or her beneficiary designation without the consent of any prior beneficiary by filing a new designation with the Committee. The last such designation filed with the Committee shall be controlling; provided, however, that no designation, or change or revocation thereof, shall be effective unless received by the Committee prior to the

15

Participant’s death, and in no event shall it be effective as of a date prior to such receipt. If no beneficiary designation is filed by a Participant, the beneficiary shall be deemed to be his or her spouse or, if the Participant is unmarried at the time of death, his or her estate. Upon the occurrence of a Participant’s divorce (as evidenced by a final order or decree of divorce), any spousal designation previously given by such Participant shall automatically terminate.

(g) Termination of Employment/Service. Unless determined otherwise by the Committee at any point following such event: (i) neither a temporary absence from employment or service due to illness, vacation or leave of absence nor a transfer from employment or service with the Company to employment or service with an Affiliate (or vice-versa) shall be considered a termination of employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate; and (ii) if a Participant’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates terminates, but such Participant continues to provide services to the Company and its Affiliates in a non-employee capacity (or vice-versa), such change in status shall not be considered a termination of employment with the Company or an Affiliate.

(h) No Rights as a Shareholder. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Plan or any Award agreement, no person shall be entitled to the privileges of ownership in respect of Class A Ordinary shares that are subject to Awards hereunder until such shares have been issued or delivered to that person.

(i) Government and Other Regulations.

(i) The obligation of the Company to settle Awards in Class A Ordinary shares or other consideration shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by governmental agencies as may be required. Notwithstanding any terms or conditions of any Award to the contrary, the Company shall be under no obligation to offer to sell or to sell, and shall be prohibited from offering to sell or selling, any Class A Ordinary shares pursuant to an Award unless such shares have been properly registered for sale pursuant to the Securities Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission or unless the Company has received an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Company, that such shares may be offered or sold without such registration pursuant to an available exemption therefrom and the terms and conditions of such exemption have been fully complied with. The Company shall be under no obligation to register for sale under the Securities Act any of the Class A Ordinary shares to be offered or sold under this Plan. The Committee shall have the authority to provide that all certificates for Class A Ordinary shares or other securities of the Company or any Affiliate delivered under this Plan shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under this Plan, the applicable Award agreement, the federal securities laws, or the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system upon which such shares or other securities are then listed or quoted and any other applicable federal, state, local or non-U.S. laws, and, without limiting the generality of Section 9 of this Plan, the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan to the contrary, the Committee reserves the right to add any additional terms or provisions to any Award granted under this Plan that it in its sole discretion deems necessary or advisable in order that such Award complies with the legal requirements of any governmental entity to whose jurisdiction the Award is subject.

(ii) The Committee may cancel an Award or any portion thereof if it determines, in its sole discretion, that legal or contractual restrictions and/or blockage and/or other market considerations would make the Company’s acquisition of Class A Ordinary shares from the public markets, the Company’s issuance of Class A Ordinary shares to the Participant, the Participant’s acquisition of Class A Ordinary shares from the Company and/or the Participant’s sale of Class A Ordinary shares to the public markets, illegal, impracticable or inadvisable. If the Committee determines to cancel all or any portion of an Award in accordance with the foregoing, unless doing so would violate Section 409A of the Code, the Company shall pay to the Participant an amount equal to the excess of (A) the aggregate fair market value of the Class A Ordinary shares subject to such Award or portion thereof canceled (determined as of the applicable exercise date, or the date that the shares would have been vested or delivered, as applicable), over (B) the aggregate Exercise Price or Strike Price (in the case of an Option or SAR, respectively) or any amount payable as a condition of delivery of Class A Ordinary shares (in the case of any other Award). Such amount shall be delivered to the Participant as soon as practicable following the cancellation of such Award or portion thereof. The Committee shall have the discretion to consider and take action to mitigate the tax consequence to the Participant in cancelling an Award in accordance with this clause.

16

(j) Payments to Persons Other Than Participants. If the Committee shall find that any person to whom any amount is payable under this Plan is unable to care for his affairs because of illness or accident, or is a minor, or has died, then any payment due to such person or his estate (unless a prior claim therefor has been made by a duly appointed legal representative) may, if the Committee so directs the Company, be paid to his spouse, child, relative, an institution maintaining or having custody of such person, or any other person deemed by the Committee to be a proper recipient on behalf of such person otherwise entitled to payment. Any such payment shall be a complete discharge of the liability of the Committee and the Company therefor.

(k) Nonexclusivity of this Plan. Neither the adoption of this Plan by the Board nor the submission of this Plan to the shareholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of stock or share options or other equity-based awards otherwise than under this Plan, and such arrangements may be either applicable generally or only in specific cases.

(l) No Trust or Fund Created. Neither this Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or any Affiliate, on the one hand, and a Participant or other person or entity, on the other hand. No provision of this Plan or any Award shall require the Company, for the purpose of satisfying any obligations under this Plan, to purchase assets or place any assets in a trust or other entity to which contributions are made or otherwise to segregate any assets, nor shall the Company maintain separate bank accounts, books, records or other evidence of the existence of a segregated or separately maintained or administered fund for such purposes. Participants shall have no rights under this Plan other than as general unsecured creditors of the Company, except that insofar as they may have become entitled to payment of additional compensation by performance of services, they shall have the same rights as other employees under general law.

(m) Reliance on Reports. Each member of the Committee and each member of the Board shall be fully justified in acting or failing to act, as the case may be, and shall not be liable for having so acted or failed to act in good faith, in reliance upon any report made by the independent public accountant of the Company and its Affiliates and/or any other information furnished in connection with this Plan by any agent of the Company or the Committee or the Board, other than himself.

(n) Relationship to Other Benefits. No payment under this Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits under any pension, retirement, profit sharing, group insurance or other benefit plan of the Company except as otherwise specifically provided in such other plan.

(o) Governing Law. The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the conflict of laws provisions.

(p) Severability. If any provision of this Plan or any Award or Award agreement is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any person or entity or Award, or would disqualify this Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable laws in the manner that most closely reflects the original intent of the Award or the Plan, or if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of this Plan or the Award, such provision shall be construed or deemed stricken as to such jurisdiction, person or entity or Award and the remainder of this Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.

(q) Obligations Binding on Successors. The obligations of the Company under this Plan shall be binding upon any successor corporation, company or organization resulting from the merger, amalgamation, consolidation or other reorganization of the Company, or upon any successor corporation, company or organization succeeding to substantially all of the assets and business of the Company.

(r) Code Section 162(m) Approval. If so determined by the Committee, the provisions of this Plan regarding Performance Compensation Awards shall be disclosed and reapproved by shareholders no later than the first general meeting that occurs in the fifth year following the year in which shareholders previously approved such provisions, in each case in order for certain Awards granted after such time to be exempt from the deduction limitations of Section 162(m) of the Code. Nothing in this clause, however, shall affect the validity of Awards granted after such time if such shareholder approval has not been obtained.

17

(s) Expenses; Gender; Titles and Headings. The expenses of administering this Plan shall be borne by the Company and its Affiliates. Masculine pronouns and other words of masculine gender shall refer to both men and women. The titles and headings of the sections in this Plan are for convenience of reference only, and in the event of any conflict, the text of this Plan, rather than such titles or headings shall control.

(t) Other Agreements. Notwithstanding the above, the Committee may require, as a condition to the grant of and/or the receipt of Class A Ordinary shares under an Award, that the Participant execute lock-up, shareholder or other agreements, as it may determine in its sole and absolute discretion.

(u) Section 409A. The Plan and all Awards granted hereunder are intended to comply with, or otherwise be exempt from, the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. The Plan and all Awards granted under this Plan shall be administered, interpreted, and construed in a manner consistent with Section 409A of the Code to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of additional taxes under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, in no event shall the Committee exercise its discretion to accelerate the payment or settlement of an Award where such payment or settlement constitutes deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code unless, and solely to the extent that, such accelerated payment or settlement is permissible under Section 1.409A-3(j)(4) of the Treasury Regulations. If a Participant is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 1.409A-1(i) of the Treasury Regulations) at any time during the twelve (12)-month period ending on the date of his termination of employment, and any Award hereunder subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code is to be satisfied on account of the Participant’s termination of employment, satisfaction of such Award shall be suspended until the date that is six (6) months after the date of such termination of employment.

(v) Payments. Participants shall be required to pay, to the extent required by applicable law, any amounts required to receive Class A Ordinary shares under any Award made under this Plan.

(w) Interpretation in this Plan:

i.       any forfeiture of Shares described herein will take effect as a surrender of shares for no consideration of such Shares as a matter of Cayman Islands law;

ii.      any share dividends described herein will take effect as share capitalizations as a matter of Cayman Islands law;

iii.     any share splits described herein will take effect as share sub-divisions as a matter of Cayman Islands law;

iv.      the allotment and issuance of Shares pursuant to the terms of this Plan following the exercise of an Option or Award shall be subject to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company; and

v.       as a matter of Cayman Islands law, Shares shall not in fact be legally issued, transferred, redeemed, repurchased or forfeited until the time at which the appropriate entries are made in Register of Members of the Company (the Register of Members being prima facie evidence of legal title to shares).

(h)    the limitations and restrictions, if any, to be effective while any preferred shares of such series are outstanding upon the payment of dividends or the making of other distributions on, and upon the purchase, redemption or other acquisition by the Company of, the existing shares or shares of any other class of shares or any other series of preferred shares;

The Company shall not issue Shares to bearer.

10.    The Company may insofar as may be permitted by law, pay a commission to any Person in consideration of his subscribing or agreeing to subscribe whether absolutely or conditionally for any Shares. Such commissions may be satisfied by the payment of cash or the lodgment of fully or partly paid-up Shares or partly in one way and partly in the other. The Company may also pay such brokerage as may be lawful on any issue of Shares.

11.    The Directors may refuse to accept any application for Shares, and may accept any application in whole or in part, for any reason or for no reason.

11A. Holders of Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares shall at all times vote together as one class on all resolutions submitted to a vote by the Members. Each Class A Ordinary Share shall entitle the holder thereof to one (1) vote on all matters subject to vote at general meetings of the Company, and each Class B Ordinary Share shall entitle the holder thereof to fifty (50) votes on all matters subject to vote at general meetings of the Company.

7

11B.  Each Class B Ordinary Share is convertible into one (1) Class A Ordinary Share at any time at the option of the holder thereof. The right to convert shall be exercisable by the holder of the Class B Ordinary Share delivering a written notice to the Company that such holder elects to convert a specified number of Class B Ordinary Shares into Class A Ordinary Shares. Save for the aforesaid, no share may be converted or redesignated from one class to another without the sanction of a special resolution.

11C. Any conversion of Class B Ordinary Shares into Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to these Articles shall be effected by means of the re-designation of each relevant Class B Ordinary Share as a Class A Ordinary Share. Such conversion shall become effective (i) in the case of any conversion effected pursuant to Article 11B, forthwith upon the receipt by the Company of the written notice delivered to the Company as described in Article 11B (or at such later date as may be specified in such notice), or (ii) in the case of any automatic conversion effected pursuant to Article 11D, forthwith upon occurrence of the event specified in Article 11D which triggers such automatic conversion, and the Company shall make entries in the Register to record the re-designation of the relevant Class B Ordinary Shares as Class A Ordinary Shares.

11D. Upon any sale, transfer, assignment or disposition of any Class B Ordinary Share by a Member to any Person who is not the Designated Person or an Affiliate of the Designated Person, or upon a change of ultimate beneficial ownership of any Class B Ordinary Share to any Person who is not the Designated Person or an Affiliate of the Designated Person, such Class B Ordinary Share shall be automatically and immediately converted into the same number of Class A Ordinary Share. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) where a sale, transfer, assignment or disposition involves a change to the legal title to Class B Ordinary Shares, it shall be effective upon the Company’s registration of such sale, transfer, assignment or disposition in its Register, and where a sale, transfer, assignment or disposition involves a change to the ultimate beneficial ownership or there is otherwise no change to the legal title to Class B Ordinary Shares, it shall be deemed effective at the time of the change, as determined in good faith by the Directors in their sole discretion; and (ii) the creation of any pledge, charge, encumbrance or other third party right of whatever description on any Class B Ordinary Shares to secure a holder’s contractual or legal obligations shall not be deemed as a sale, transfer, assignment or disposition, or a change of ultimate beneficial ownership, unless and until any such pledge, charge, encumbrance or other third party right is enforced and results in the third party holding legal title to the relevant Class B Ordinary Shares, in which case all the related Class B Ordinary Shares shall be automatically converted into the same number of Class A Ordinary Shares. For the purposes of this Article 11D, beneficial ownership shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 13d-3 under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

11E.  Save and except for voting rights and conversion rights as set out in Articles 11A to 11D (inclusive), the Class A Ordinary Shares and the Class B Ordinary Shares shall rank pari passu with one another and shall have the same rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions.

MODIFICATION OF RIGHTS

12.    Whenever the capital of the Company is divided into different Classes the rights attached to any such Class may, subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any Class, only be materially and adversely varied with the consent in writing of the holders of two-thirds of the issued Shares of that Class or with the sanction of a Special Resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the Shares of that Class. To every such separate meeting all the provisions of these Articles relating to general meetings of the Company or to the proceedings thereat shall, mutatis mutandis, apply, except that the necessary quorum shall be one or more Persons holding or representing by proxy at least one-third in nominal or par value amount of the issued Shares of the relevant Class (but so that if at any adjourned meeting of such holders a quorum as above defined is not Present, those Shareholders who are Present shall form a quorum) and that, subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to the Shares of that Class, every Shareholder of the Class shall on a poll have one vote for each Share of the Class held by him. For the purposes of this Article the Directors may treat all the Classes or any two or more Classes as forming one Class if they consider that all such Classes would be affected in the same way by the proposals under consideration, but in any other case shall treat them as separate Classes.

13.    The rights conferred upon the holders of the Shares of any Class issued with preferred or other rights shall not, subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to the Shares of that Class, be deemed to be materially and adversely varied by, inter alia, the creation, allotment or issue of further Shares ranking pari passu with or subsequent to them or the redemption or purchase of any Shares of any Class by the Company.

8

The rights of the holders of Shares shall not be deemed to be materially and adversely varied by the creation or issue of Shares with preferred or other rights including, without limitation, the creation of Shares with enhanced or weighted voting rights.

CERTIFICATES

14.    A Member may only be entitled to a share certificate if the Directors resolve that share certificates shall be issued. Share certificates representing Shares, if any, shall be in such form as the Directors may determine. Share certificates shall be signed by one or more Directors or other person authorised by the Directors. The Directors may authorise certificates to be issued with the authorised signature(s) affixed by mechanical process. All certificates for Shares shall be numbered or otherwise identified and shall specify the Shares to which they relate. All certificates surrendered to the Company for transfer shall be cancelled and, subject to these Articles, no new certificate shall be issued until the former certificate representing a like number of relevant Shares shall have been surrendered and cancelled.

15.    Every share certificate of the Company shall bear such legends as may be required under applicable laws, including the Securities Act.

16.    No certificate shall be issued representing shares of more than one class.

17.    If a share certificate shall be damaged or defaced or alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, a new certificate representing the same Shares may be issued to the relevant Member upon request, subject to delivery up of the old certificate or (if alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed) compliance with such conditions as to evidence and indemnity and the payment of out-of-pocket expenses of the Company in connection with the request as the Directors may think fit.

18.    The Company shall not be bound to issue more than one certificate for Shares held jointly by more than one person. In the event that Shares are held jointly by several Persons, any request may be made by any one of the joint holders and if so made shall be binding on all of the joint holders.

FRACTIONAL SHARES

19.    The Directors may issue fractions of a Share and, if so issued, a fraction of a Share shall be subject to and carry the corresponding fraction of liabilities (whether with respect to nominal or par value, premium, contributions, calls or otherwise), limitations, preferences, privileges, qualifications, restrictions, rights (including, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, voting and participation rights) and other attributes of a whole Share. If more than one fraction of a Share of the same Class is issued to or acquired by the same Shareholder such fractions shall be accumulated.

LIEN

20.    The Company has a first and paramount lien on every Share (whether or not fully paid) for all amounts (whether presently payable or not) payable at a fixed time or called in respect of that Share. The Company also has a first and paramount lien on every Share registered in the name of a Person indebted or under liability to the Company (whether he is the sole registered holder of a Share or one of two or more joint holders) for all amounts owing by him or his estate to the Company (whether or not presently payable). The Directors may at any time declare a Share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this Article. The Company’s lien on a Share extends to any amount payable in respect of it, including but not limited to dividends.

21.    The Company may sell, in such manner as the Directors in their absolute discretion think fit, any Share on which the Company has a lien, but no sale shall be made unless an amount in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable nor until the expiration of fourteen calendar days after a notice in writing, demanding payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable, has been given to the registered holder for the time being of the Share, or the Persons entitled thereto by reason of his death or bankruptcy.

9

22.    For giving effect to any such sale the Directors may authorise a Person to transfer the Shares sold to the purchaser thereof. The purchaser shall be registered as the holder of the Shares comprised in any such transfer and he shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall his title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the sale.

23.    The proceeds of the sale after deduction of expenses, fees and commissions incurred by the Company shall be received by the Company and applied in payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable, and the residue shall (subject to a like lien for sums not presently payable as existed upon the Shares prior to the sale) be paid to the Person entitled to the Shares immediately prior to the sale.

CALLS ON SHARES

24.    Subject to the terms of the allotment, the Directors may from time to time make calls upon the Shareholders in respect of any moneys unpaid on their Shares, and each Shareholder shall (subject to receiving at least fourteen calendar days’ notice specifying the time or times of payment) pay to the Company at the time or times so specified the amount called on such Shares. A call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the Directors authorising such call was passed.

25.    The joint holders of a Share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay calls in respect thereof.

26.    If a sum called in respect of a Share is not paid before or on the day appointed for payment thereof, the Person from whom the sum is due shall pay interest upon the sum at the rate of eight percent per annum from the day appointed for the payment thereof to the time of the actual payment, but the Directors shall be at liberty to waive payment of that interest wholly or in part.

27.    The provisions of these Articles as to the liability of joint holders and as to payment of interest shall apply in the case of non-payment of any sum which, by the terms of issue of a Share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on account of the amount of the Share, or by way of premium, as if the same had become payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

28.    The Directors may make arrangements with respect to the issue of partly paid Shares for a difference between the Shareholders, or the particular Shares, in the amount of calls to be paid and in the times of payment.

29.    The Directors may, if they think fit, receive from any Shareholder willing to advance the same all or any part of the moneys uncalled and unpaid upon any partly paid Shares held by him, and upon all or any of the moneys so advanced may (until the same would, but for such advance, become presently payable) pay interest at such rate (not exceeding without the sanction of an Ordinary Resolution, eight percent per annum) as may be agreed upon between the Shareholder paying the sum in advance and the Directors. No such sum paid in advance of calls shall entitle the Member paying such sum to any portion of a dividend declared in respect of any period prior to the date upon which such sum would, but for such payment, become presently payable.

FORFEITURE OF SHARES

30.    If a Shareholder fails to pay any call or instalment of a call in respect of partly paid Shares on the day appointed for payment, the Directors may, at any time thereafter during such time as any part of such call or instalment remains unpaid, serve a notice on him requiring payment of so much of the call or instalment as is unpaid, together with any interest which may have accrued.

31.    The notice shall name a further day (not earlier than the expiration of fourteen calendar days from the date of the notice) on or before which the payment required by the notice is to be made, and shall state that in the event of non-payment at or before the time appointed, the Shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited.

32.    If the requirements of any such notice as aforesaid are not complied with, any Share in respect of which the notice has been given may at any time thereafter, before the payment required by notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors to that effect.

10

33.    A forfeited Share may be sold or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the Directors think fit, and at any time before a sale or disposition the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors think fit.

34.    A Person whose Shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Shareholder in respect of the forfeited Shares, but shall, notwithstanding, remain liable to pay to the Company all moneys which at the date of forfeiture were payable by him to the Company in respect of the Shares forfeited, but his liability shall cease if and when the Company receives payment in full of the amount unpaid on the Shares forfeited.

35.    A certificate in writing under the hand of a Director that a Share has been duly forfeited on a date stated in the certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the facts in the declaration as against all Persons claiming to be entitled to the Share.

36.    The Company may receive the consideration, if any, given for a Share on any sale or disposition thereof pursuant to the provisions of these Articles as to forfeiture and may execute a transfer of the Share in favour of the Person to whom the Share is sold or disposed of and that Person shall be registered as the holder of the Share and shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, if any, nor shall his title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the disposition or sale.

37.    The provisions of these Articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non-payment of any sum which by the terms of issue of a Share becomes due and payable, whether on account of the amount of the Share, or by way of premium, as if the same had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

TRANSFER OF SHARES

38.    The instrument of transfer of any Share shall be in writing and in any usual or common form or such other form as the Directors may, in their absolute discretion, approve and be executed by or on behalf of the transferor and if in respect of a nil or partly paid up Share, or if so required by the Directors, shall also be executed on behalf of the transferee and shall be accompanied by the certificate (if any) of the Shares to which it relates and such other evidence as the Directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer. The transferor shall be deemed to remain a Shareholder until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register in respect of the relevant Shares. Subject to these Articles, any Member may transfer all or any of his shares by an instrument of transfer in the usual or common form or in a form prescribed by the Designated Stock Exchange or in any other form approved by the Board and may be under hand or, if the transferor or transferee is a clearing house or a central depository house or its nominee(s), by hand or by machine imprinted signature or by such other manner of execution as the Board may approve from time to time.

39.

(a)     The Directors may in their absolute discretion decline to register any transfer of Shares which is not fully paid up or on which the Company has a lien.

(b)    The Directors may also decline to register any transfer of any Share unless:

(i)     the instrument of transfer is lodged with the Company, accompanied by the certificate for the Shares to which it relates and such other evidence as the Board may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer;

(ii)    the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one Class of Shares;

(iii)   the instrument of transfer is properly stamped, if required;

(iv)   in the case of a transfer to joint holders, the number of joint holders to whom the Share is to be transferred does not exceed four; and

(v)    a fee of such maximum sum as the Designated Stock Exchange may determine to be payable, or such lesser sum as the Board of Directors may from time to time require, is paid to the Company in respect thereof.

11

40.    The registration of transfers may, after compliance with any notice required by the Designated Stock Exchange Rules, be suspended and the Register closed at such times and for such periods as the Directors may, in their absolute discretion, from time to time determine, provided always that such registration of transfer shall not be suspended nor the Register closed for more than thirty calendar days in any calendar year.

41.    All instruments of transfer that are registered shall be retained by the Company. If the Directors refuse to register a transfer of any Shares, they shall within two calendar months after the date on which the transfer was lodged with the Company send notice of the refusal to each of the transferor and the transferee.

TRANSMISSION OF SHARES

42.    The legal personal representative of a deceased sole holder of a Share shall be the only Person recognised by the Company as having any title to the Share. In the case of a Share registered in the name of two or more holders, the survivors or survivor, or the legal personal representatives of the deceased survivor, shall be the only Person recognised by the Company as having any title to the Share.

43.    Any Person becoming entitled to a Share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a Shareholder shall, upon such evidence being produced as may from time to time be required by the Directors, have the right either to be registered as a Shareholder in respect of the Share or, instead of being registered himself, to make such transfer of the Share as the deceased or bankrupt Person could have made; but the Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by the deceased or bankrupt Person before the death or bankruptcy.

44.    A Person becoming entitled to a Share by reason of the death or bankruptcy of a Shareholder shall be entitled to the same dividends and other advantages to which he would be entitled if he were the registered Shareholder, except that he shall not, before being registered as a Shareholder in respect of the Share, be entitled in respect of it to exercise any right conferred by membership in relation to meetings of the Company, provided however, that the Directors may at any time give notice requiring any such Person to elect either to be registered himself or to transfer the Share, and if the notice is not complied with within ninety calendar days, the Directors may thereafter withhold payment of all dividends, bonuses or other monies payable in respect of the Share until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.

REGISTRATION OF EMPOWERING INSTRUMENTS

45.    The Company shall be entitled to charge a fee not exceeding one dollar (US$1.00) on the registration of every probate, letters of administration, certificate of death or marriage, power of attorney, notice in lieu of distringas, or other instrument.

ALTERATION OF SHARE CAPITAL

46.    The Company may from time to time by Ordinary Resolution increase the share capital by such sum, to be divided into Shares of such Classes and amount, as the resolution shall prescribe and with such rights, priorities and privileges annexed thereto, as the Company in general meeting may determine.

47.    The Company may by Ordinary Resolution:

(a)     increase its share capital by new Shares of such amount as it thinks appropriate;

(b)    consolidate and divide all or any of its share capital into Shares of a larger amount than its existing Shares;

(c)    divide its Shares into several classes and without prejudice to any special rights previously conferred on the holders of existing Shares attach thereto respectively any preferential, deferred, qualified or special rights, privileges, conditions or such restrictions which in the absence of any such determination by the Company in general meeting, as the Directors may determine provided always that, for the avoidance of doubt, where a Class of Shares has been authorised by the Company, no resolution of the Company in general meeting is required for the issuance of Shares of that Class and the Directors may issue Shares of that Class and determine such rights, privileges, conditions or restrictions attaching thereto as aforesaid, and further provided that where the Company issues shares which do not carry voting rights, the words “non-voting”

12

shall appear in the designation of such Shares and where the equity capital includes shares with different voting rights, the designation of each Class of Shares, other than those with the most favourable voting rights, must include the words “restricted voting” or “limited voting”;

(d)    subdivide its Shares, or any of them, into Shares of an amount smaller than that fixed by the Memorandum, provided that in the subdivision the proportion between the amount paid and the amount, if any, unpaid on each reduced Share shall be the same as it was in case of the Share from which the reduced Share is derived; and

(e)     cancel any Shares that, at the date of the passing of the resolution, have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any Person and diminish the amount of its share capital by the amount of the Shares so cancelled.

48.    All new Shares created in accordance with the provisions of the preceding Article shall be subject to the same provisions of the Articles with reference to the payment of calls, Liens, transfer, transmission, forfeiture and otherwise as the Shares in the original share capital. The Board may settle as it considers expedient any difficulty which arises in relation to any consolidation and division under the preceding Article and in particular but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing may arrange for the sale of the shares representing fractions and the distribution of the net proceeds of sale (after deduction of the expenses of such sale) in due proportion amongst the Members who would have been entitled to the fractions, and for this purpose the Board may authorise some person to transfer the shares representing fractions to their purchaser or resolve that such net proceeds be paid to the Company for the Company’s benefit. Such purchaser will not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money nor will his title to the shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings relating to the sale.

(c)     make a payment in respect of the redemption or purchase of its own Shares in any manner permitted by the Companies Act, including out of capital.

(b)    in the case of an extraordinary general meeting, by holders of two-thirds of the Members having a right to attend and vote at the meeting Present or, in the case of a corporation or other non-natural person, represented by its duly authorised representative or proxy.

60.    The accidental omission to give notice of a meeting to or the non-receipt of a notice of a meeting by any Shareholder shall not invalidate the proceedings at any meeting.

PROCEEDINGS AT GENERAL MEETINGS

61.    No business except for the appointment of a chairman for the meeting shall be transacted at any general meeting unless a quorum of Shareholders is Present at the time when the meeting proceeds to business. Two Shareholders holding Shares which carry in aggregate (or representing by proxy) not less than one-third of all votes attaching to all Shares in issue and entitled to vote at such general meeting Present shall be a quorum for all purposes.

62.    If within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting a quorum is not Present, the meeting shall be dissolved.

63.    If the Directors wish to make this facility available for a specific general meeting or all general meetings of the Company, attendance and participation in any general meeting of the Company may be by means of Communication Facilities. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Directors may determine that any general meeting may be held as a Virtual Meeting. The notice of any general meeting at which Communication Facilities will be utilised (including any Virtual Meeting) must disclose the Communication Facilities that will be used, including the procedures to be followed by any Shareholder or other participant of the meeting who wishes to utilise such Communication Facilities for the purposes of attending and participating in such meeting, including attending and casting any vote thereat.

64.    The Chairman, if any, shall preside as chairman at every general meeting of the Company. If there is no such Chairman, or if at any general meeting he is not Present within fifteen minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting or is unwilling to act as chairman of the meeting, any Director or Person nominated by the Directors shall preside as chairman of that meeting, failing which the Shareholders Present shall choose any Person Present to be chairman of that meeting.

14

65.    The chairman of any general meeting shall be entitled to attend and participate at any such general meeting by means of Communication Facilities, and to act as the chairman of such general meeting, in which event the following provisions shall apply:

(a)     The chairman of the meeting shall be deemed to be Present at the meeting; and

(b)    If the Communication Facilities are interrupted or fail for any reason to enable the chairman of the meeting to hear and be heard by all other Persons participating in the meeting, then the other Directors Present at the meeting shall choose another Director Present to act as chairman of the meeting for the remainder of the meeting; provided that if no other Director is Present at the meeting, or if all the Directors Present decline to take the chair, then the meeting shall be automatically adjourned to the same day in the next week and at such time and place as shall be decided by the Board of Directors.

66.    The chairman of any general meeting at which a quorum is Present may with the consent of the meeting (and shall if so directed by the meeting) adjourn the meeting from time to time and from place to place, but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting other than the business left unfinished at the meeting from which the adjournment took place. When a meeting, or adjourned meeting, is adjourned for fourteen calendar days or more, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given as in the case of an original meeting. Save as aforesaid it shall not be necessary to give any notice of an adjournment or of the business to be transacted at an adjourned meeting.

67.    The Directors may cancel or postpone any duly convened general meeting at any time prior to such meeting, except for general meetings requisitioned by the Shareholders in accordance with these Articles, for any reason or for no reason, upon notice in writing to Shareholders. A postponement may be for a stated period of any length or indefinitely as the Directors may determine.

68.    At any general meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided by way of poll save that in the case of a physical meeting, the chairman of the meeting may decide that a vote be on a show of hands unless a poll is demanded by (i) at least three Members Present in person or by proxy or (in the case of a Member being a corporation) by its duly authorised representative for the time being entitled to vote at the meeting; (ii) Member(s) present in person or by proxy or (in the case of a Member being a corporation) by its duly authorised representative representing not less than one-tenth of the total voting rights of all Members having the right to vote at the meeting; and (iii) Member(s) present in person or by proxy or (in the case of a Member being a corporation) by its duly authorised representative and holding Shares conferring a right to vote at the meeting being Shares on which an aggregate sum has been paid up equal to not less than one-tenth of the total sum paid up on all Shares conferring that right.

69.    If a poll is duly demanded it shall be taken in such manner as the chairman of the meeting directs, and the result of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was demanded.

70.    All questions submitted to a meeting shall be decided by an Ordinary Resolution except where a greater majority is required by these Articles or by the Companies Act. In the case of an equality of votes, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, the chairman of the meeting at which the show of hands takes place or at which the poll is demanded, shall be entitled to a second or casting vote.

71.    A poll demanded on the election of a chairman of the meeting or on a question of adjournment shall be taken forthwith. A poll demanded on any other question shall be taken at such time as the chairman of the meeting directs.

VOTES OF SHAREHOLDERS

72.    Subject to any rights and restrictions for the time being attached to any Share, on a show of hands every Shareholder Present in person or represented by its duly authorised representative or proxy shall, at a general meeting of the Company, each have one (1) vote and on a poll every Shareholder Present in person or represented by its duly authorised representative or proxy shall have one (1) vote for each Class A Ordinary Share of which such Shareholder is the holder and fifty (50) votes for each Class B Ordinary Share of which such Shareholder is the holder.

15

73.    In the case of joint holders the vote of the senior who tenders a vote whether in person or by proxy (or, if a corporation or other non-natural person, by its duly authorised representative or proxy) shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders and for this purpose seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names stand in the Register.

74.    Shares carrying the right to vote that are held by a Shareholder of unsound mind, or in respect of whom an order has been made by any court having jurisdiction in lunacy, may be voted, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, by his committee, or other Person in the nature of a committee appointed by that court, and any such committee or other Person may vote in respect of such Shares by proxy.

75.    No Shareholder shall be entitled to vote at any general meeting of the Company unless all calls, if any, or other sums presently payable by him in respect of Shares carrying the right to vote held by him have been paid.

76.    On a poll votes may be given either personally or by proxy.

77.    Each Shareholder, other than a recognised clearing house (or its nominee(s)) or depositary (or its nominee(s)), may only appoint one proxy on a show of hand. The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing under the hand of the appointor or of his attorney duly authorised in writing or, if the appointor is a corporation, either under Seal or under the hand of an officer or attorney duly authorised. A proxy need not be a Shareholder.

78.    An instrument appointing a proxy may be in any usual or common form or such other form as the Directors may approve.

79.    The instrument appointing a proxy shall be deposited at the Registered Office or at such other place as is specified for that purpose in the notice convening the meeting, or in any instrument of proxy sent out by the Company:

(b)    in the case of a poll taken more than 48 hours after it is demanded, be deposited as aforesaid after the poll has been demanded and not less than 24 hours before the time appointed for the taking of the poll; or

(c)     where the poll is not taken forthwith but is taken not more than 48 hours after it was demanded be delivered at the meeting at which the poll was demanded to the chairman or to the secretary or to any director;

provided that the Directors may in the notice convening the meeting, or in an instrument of proxy sent out by the Company, direct that the instrument appointing a proxy may be deposited at such other time (no later than the time for holding the meeting or adjourned meeting) at the Registered Office or at such other place as is specified for that purpose in the notice convening the meeting, or in any instrument of proxy sent out by the Company. The chairman of the meeting may in any event at his discretion direct that an instrument of proxy shall be deemed to have been duly deposited. An instrument of proxy that is not deposited in the manner permitted shall be invalid.

80.    The instrument appointing a proxy shall be deemed to confer authority to demand or join in demanding a poll.

81.    A resolution in writing signed by all the Shareholders for the time being entitled to receive notice of and to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company (or being corporations by their duly authorised representatives) shall be as valid and effective as if the same had been passed at a general meeting of the Company duly convened and held.

CORPORATIONS ACTING BY REPRESENTATIVES AT MEETINGS

82.    Any corporation which is a Shareholder or a Director may by resolution of its directors or other governing body authorise such Person as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any meeting of the Company or of any meeting of holders of a Class or of the Directors or of a committee of Directors, and the Person so authorised shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the corporation which he represents as that corporation could exercise if it were an individual Shareholder or Director.

16

DEPOSITARY AND CLEARING HOUSES

83.    If a recognised clearing house (or its nominee(s)) or depositary (or its nominee(s)) is a Member of the Company it may, by resolution of its directors or other governing body or by power of attorney, authorise such Person(s) as it thinks fit to act as its representative(s) at any general meeting of the Company or of any Class of Shareholders provided that, if more than one Person is so authorised, the authorisation shall specify the number and Class of Shares in respect of which each such Person is so authorised. A Person so authorised pursuant to this Article shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the recognised clearing house (or its nominee(s)) or depositary (or its nominee(s)) which he represents as that recognised clearing house (or its nominee(s)) or depositary (or its nominee(s)) could exercise if it were an individual Member holding the number and Class of Shares specified in such authorisation, including the right to vote individually on a show of hands.

(b)    The Board of Directors may elect and appoint a Chairman by a majority of the Directors then in office. The period for which the Chairman will hold office (if so elected and appointed) will also be determined by a majority of all of the Directors then in office. The Chairman (if so elected and appointed) shall preside as chairman at every meeting of the Board of Directors. To the extent no Chairman has been elected and appointed or the Chairman is not present at a meeting of the Board of Directors within fifteen minutes after the time appointed for holding the same, the attending Directors may choose one of their number to be the chairman of the meeting.

Any Director whose term of office expires shall be eligible for re-election at a meeting of the Shareholders or re-appointment by the Board.

85.    A Director may be removed from office by an Ordinary Resolution, notwithstanding anything in these Articles or in any agreement between the Company and such Director (but without prejudice to any claim for damages under such agreement). A vacancy on the Board created by the removal of a Director under the previous sentence may be filled by an Ordinary Resolution or by the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the remaining Directors present and voting at a Board meeting. The notice of any meeting at which a resolution to remove a Director shall be proposed or voted upon must contain a statement of the intention to remove that Director and such notice must be served on that Director not less than ten (10) calendar days before the meeting.

ALTERNATE DIRECTOR OR PROXY

90.    Any Director may in writing appoint another Person to be his alternate and, save to the extent provided otherwise in the form of appointment, such alternate shall have authority to sign written resolutions on behalf of the appointing Director, but shall not be required to sign such written resolutions where they have been signed by the appointing director, and to act in such Director’s place at any meeting of the Directors at which the appointing Director is unable to be present. Every such alternate shall be entitled to attend and vote at meetings of the Directors as a Director when the Director appointing him is not personally present and where he is a Director to have a separate vote on behalf of the Director he is representing in addition to his own vote. A Director may at any time in writing revoke the appointment of an alternate appointed by him. Such alternate shall be deemed for all purposes to be a Director and shall not be deemed to be the agent of the Director appointing him. The remuneration of such alternate shall be payable out of the remuneration of the Director appointing him and the proportion thereof shall be agreed between them.

91.    Any Director may appoint any Person, whether or not a Director, to be the proxy of that Director to attend and vote on his behalf, in accordance with instructions given by that Director, or in the absence of such instructions at the discretion of the proxy, at a meeting or meetings of the Directors which that Director is unable to attend personally. The instrument appointing the proxy shall be in writing under the hand of the appointing Director and shall be in any usual or common form or such other form as the Directors may approve, and must be lodged with the chairman of the meeting of the Directors at which such proxy is to be used, or first used, prior to the commencement of the meeting.

Any natural person or corporation so appointed by the Directors may be removed by the Directors. The Directors may also appoint one or more of their number to the office of managing director upon like terms, but any such appointment shall ipso facto terminate if any managing director ceases for any cause to be a Director, or if the Company by Ordinary Resolution resolves that his tenure of office be terminated.

99.    The Directors from time to time and at any time may delegate to any such committee, local board, manager or agent any of the powers, authorities and discretions for the time being vested in the Directors and may authorise the members for the time being of any such local board, or any of them to fill any vacancies therein and to act notwithstanding vacancies and any such appointment or delegation may be made on such terms and subject to such conditions as the Directors may think fit and the Directors may at any time remove any natural person or corporation so appointed and may annul or vary any such delegation, but no Person dealing in good faith and without notice of any such annulment or variation shall be affected thereby.

100.  Any such delegates as aforesaid may be authorised by the Directors to sub-delegate all or any of the powers, authorities, and discretion for the time being vested in them.

BORROWING POWERS OF DIRECTORS

The Seal shall be affixed in the presence of a Director or a Secretary (or an assistant Secretary) or in the presence of any one or more Persons as the Directors may appoint for the purpose and every Person as aforesaid shall sign every instrument to which the Seal is so affixed in their presence.

103.  The Company may maintain a facsimile of the Seal in such countries or places as the Directors may appoint and such facsimile Seal shall not be affixed to any instrument except by the authority of a resolution of the Directors provided always that such authority may be given prior to or after the affixing of such facsimile Seal and if given after may be in general form confirming a number of affixing of such facsimile Seal. The facsimile Seal shall be affixed in the presence of such Person or Persons as the Directors shall for this purpose appoint and such Person or Persons as aforesaid shall sign every instrument to which the facsimile Seal is so affixed in their presence and such affixing of the facsimile Seal and signing as aforesaid shall have the same meaning and effect as if the Seal had been affixed in the presence of and the instrument signed by a Director or a Secretary (or an assistant Secretary) or in the presence of any one or more Persons as the Directors may appoint for the purpose.

19

104.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Secretary or any assistant Secretary shall have the authority to affix the Seal, or the facsimile Seal, to any instrument for the purposes of attesting authenticity of the matter contained therein but which does not create any obligation binding on the Company.

Questions arising at any meeting shall be decided by a majority of votes. At any meeting of the Directors, each Director present in person or represented by his proxy or alternate shall be entitled to one vote. In case of an equality of votes the chairman of the meeting shall have a second or casting vote. A Director may, and a Secretary or assistant Secretary on the requisition of a Director shall, at any time summon a meeting of the Directors.

107.  A Director may participate in any meeting of the Directors, or of any committee appointed by the Directors of which such Director is a member, by means of telephone or similar communication equipment by way of which all Persons participating in such meeting can communicate with each other and such participation shall be deemed to constitute presence in person at the meeting.

108.  The quorum necessary for the transaction of the business of the Board may be fixed by the Directors, and unless so fixed the presence of two (2) Directors then in office shall constitute a quorum. A Director represented by proxy or by an alternate Director at any meeting shall be deemed to be present for the purposes of determining whether or not a quorum is present.

109.  A Director who is in any way, whether directly or indirectly, interested in a contract or transaction or proposed contract or transaction with the Company shall declare the nature of his interest at a meeting of the Directors. A general notice given to the Directors by any Director to the effect that he is a member of any specified company or firm and is to be regarded as interested in any contract or transaction which may thereafter be made with that company or firm shall be deemed a sufficient declaration of interest in regard to any contract so made or transaction so consummated. Subject to the Designated Stock Exchange Rules and disqualification by the chairman of the relevant Board meeting, a Director may vote in respect of any contract or transaction or proposed contract or transaction notwithstanding that he may be interested therein and if he does so his vote shall be counted and he may be counted in the quorum at any meeting of the Directors at which any such contract or transaction or proposed contract or transaction shall come before the meeting for consideration.

110.  A Director may hold any other office or place of profit under the Company (other than the office of auditor) in conjunction with his office of Director for such period and on such terms (as to remuneration and otherwise) as the Directors may determine and no Director or intending Director shall be disqualified by his office from contracting with the Company either with regard to his tenure of any such other office or place of profit or as vendor, purchaser or otherwise, nor shall any such contract or arrangement entered into by or on behalf of the Company in which any Director is in any way interested be liable to be avoided, nor shall any Director so contracting or being so interested be liable to account to the Company for any profit realised by any such

20

contract or arrangement by reason of such Director holding that office or of the fiduciary relation thereby established. A Director, notwithstanding his interest, may be counted in the quorum present at any meeting of the Directors whereat he or any other Director is appointed to hold any such office or place of profit under the Company or whereat the terms of any such appointment are arranged and he may vote on any such appointment or arrangement.

111.  Any Director may act by himself or through his firm in a professional capacity for the Company, and he or his firm shall be entitled to remuneration for professional services as if he were not a Director; provided that nothing herein contained shall authorise a Director or his firm to act as auditor to the Company.

112.  The Directors shall cause minutes to be made for the purpose of recording:

(a)     all appointments of officers made by the Directors;

(b)    the names of the Directors present at each meeting of the Directors and of any committee of the Directors; and

(c)     all resolutions and proceedings at all meetings of the Company, and of the Directors and of committees of Directors.

113.  When the chairman of a meeting of the Directors signs the minutes of such meeting the same shall be deemed to have been duly held notwithstanding that all the Directors have not actually come together or that there may have been a technical defect in the proceedings.

114.  A resolution in writing signed by all the Directors or all the members of a committee of Directors entitled to receive notice of a meeting of Directors or committee of Directors, as the case may be (an alternate Director, subject as provided otherwise in the terms of appointment of the alternate Director, being entitled to sign such a resolution on behalf of his appointer), shall be as valid and effectual as if it had been passed at a duly called and constituted meeting of Directors or committee of Directors, as the case may be. When signed a resolution may consist of several documents each signed by one or more of the Directors or his duly appointed alternate.

115.  The continuing Directors may act notwithstanding any vacancy in their body but if and for so long as their number is reduced below the number fixed by or pursuant to these Articles as the necessary quorum of Directors, the continuing Directors may act for the purpose of increasing the number, or of summoning a general meeting of the Company, but for no other purpose.

116.  Subject to any regulations imposed on it by the Directors, a committee appointed by the Directors may elect a chairman of its meetings. If no such chairman is elected, or if at any meeting the chairman is not present within fifteen minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting, the committee members present may choose one of their number to be chairman of the meeting.

117.  A committee appointed by the Directors may meet and adjourn as it thinks proper. Subject to any regulations imposed on it by the Directors, questions arising at any meeting shall be determined by a majority of votes of the committee members present and in case of an equality of votes the chairman shall have a second or casting vote.

118.  All acts done by any meeting of the Directors or of a committee of Directors, or by any Person acting as a Director, shall notwithstanding that it be afterwards discovered that there was some defect in the appointment of any such Director or Person acting as aforesaid, or that they or any of them were disqualified, be as valid as if every such Person had been duly appointed and was qualified to be a Director.

PRESUMPTION OF ASSENT

119.  A Director who is present at a meeting of the Board of Directors at which an action on any Company matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless his dissent shall be entered in the minutes of the meeting or unless he shall file his written dissent from such action with the person acting as the chairman or secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof or shall forward such dissent by registered post to such person immediately after the adjournment of the meeting. Such right to dissent shall not apply to a Director who voted in favour of such action.

21

DIVIDENDS

120.  Subject to any rights and restrictions for the time being attached to any Shares, the Directors may from time to time declare dividends (including interim dividends) and other distributions on Shares in issue and authorise payment of the same out of the funds of the Company lawfully available therefor.

121.  Subject to any rights and restrictions for the time being attached to any Shares, the Company by Ordinary Resolution may declare dividends, but no dividend shall exceed the amount recommended by the Directors.

122.  The Directors may, before recommending or declaring any dividend, set aside out of the funds legally available for distribution such sums as they think proper as a reserve or reserves which shall, in the absolute discretion of the Directors, be applicable for meeting contingencies or for equalising dividends or for any other purpose to which those funds may be properly applied, and pending such application may in the absolute discretion of the Directors, either be employed in the business of the Company or be invested in such investments (other than Shares of the Company) as the Directors may from time to time think fit.

123.  Any dividend payable in cash to the holder of Shares may be paid in any manner determined by the Directors. If paid by cheque it will be sent by mail addressed to the holder at his address in the Register, or addressed to such person and at such addresses as the holder may direct. Every such cheque or warrant shall, unless the holder or joint holders otherwise direct, be made payable to the order of the holder or, in the case of joint holders, to the order of the holder whose name stands first on the Register in respect of such Shares, and shall be sent at his or their risk and payment of the cheque or warrant by the bank on which it is drawn shall constitute a good discharge to the Company.

124.  The Directors may determine that a dividend shall be paid wholly or partly by the distribution of specific assets (which may consist of the shares or securities of any other company) and may settle all questions concerning such distribution. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Directors may fix the value of such specific assets, may determine that cash payment shall be made to some Shareholders in lieu of specific assets and may vest any such specific assets in trustees on such terms as the Directors think fit.

125.  Subject to any rights and restrictions for the time being attached to any Shares, all dividends shall be declared and paid according to the amounts paid up on the Shares, but if and for so long as nothing is paid up on any of the Shares dividends may be declared and paid according to the par value of the Shares. No amount paid on a Share in advance of calls shall, while carrying interest, be treated for the purposes of this Article as paid on the Share.

126.  If several Persons are registered as joint holders of any Share, any of them may give effective receipts for any dividend or other moneys payable on or in respect of the Share.

127.  No dividend shall bear interest against the Company.

128.  Any dividend unclaimed after a period of six calendar years from the date of declaration of such dividend may be forfeited by the Board of Directors and, if so forfeited, shall revert to the Company.

ACCOUNTS, AUDIT AND ANNUAL RETURN AND DECLARATION

129.  The books of account relating to the Company’s affairs shall be kept in such manner as may be determined from time to time by the Directors.

130.  The books of account shall be kept at the Registered Office, or at such other place or places as the Directors think fit, and shall always be open to the inspection of the Directors.

131.  The Directors may from time to time determine whether and to what extent and at what times and places and under what conditions or regulations the accounts and books of the Company or any of them shall be open to the inspection of Shareholders not being Directors, and no Shareholder (not being a Director) shall have any right to inspect any account or book or document of the Company except as conferred by law or authorised by the Directors or by Ordinary Resolution, provided that the Shareholders may inspect the Register without charge, and receive the annual audited financial statements of the Company.

22

132.  The accounts relating to the Company’s affairs shall be audited in such manner and with such financial year end as may be determined from time to time by the Directors or failing any determination as aforesaid shall not be audited.

133.  The Directors may appoint an auditor of the Company who shall hold office until removed from office by a resolution of the Directors and may fix his or their remuneration.

134.  Every auditor of the Company shall have a right of access at all times to the books and accounts and vouchers of the Company and shall be entitled to require from the Directors and officers of the Company such information and explanation as may be necessary for the performance of the duties of the auditors.

135.  The auditors shall, if so required by the Directors, make a report on the accounts of the Company during their tenure of office at the next annual general meeting following their appointment, and at any time during their term of office, upon request of the Directors or any general meeting of the Members.

136.  The Directors in each calendar year shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, an annual return and declaration setting forth the particulars required by the Companies Act and deliver a copy thereof to the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands.

CAPITALISATION OF RESERVES

137.  Subject to the Companies Act, the Directors may:

(a)     resolve to capitalise an amount standing to the credit of reserves (including a Share Premium Account, capital redemption reserve and profit and loss account), which is available for distribution;

(b)    appropriate the sum resolved to be capitalised to the Shareholders in proportion to the nominal amount of Shares (whether or not fully paid) held by them respectively and apply that sum on their behalf in or towards:

(i)     paying up the amounts (if any) for the time being unpaid on Shares held by them respectively, or

(ii)    paying up in full unissued Shares or debentures of a nominal amount equal to that sum,

and allot the Shares or debentures, credited as fully paid, to the Shareholders (or as they may direct) in those proportions, or partly in one way and partly in the other, but the Share Premium Account, the capital redemption reserve and profits which are not available for distribution may, for the purposes of this Article, only be applied in paying up unissued Shares to be allotted to Shareholders credited as fully paid;

(c)     make any arrangements they think fit to resolve a difficulty arising in the distribution of a capitalised reserve and in particular, without limitation, where Shares or debentures become distributable in fractions the Directors may deal with the fractions as they think fit;

(d)    authorise a Person to enter (on behalf of all the Shareholders concerned) into an agreement with the Company providing for either:

(i)     the allotment to the Shareholders respectively, credited as fully paid, of Shares or debentures to which they may be entitled on the capitalisation, or

(ii)    the payment by the Company on behalf of the Shareholders (by the application of their respective proportions of the reserves resolved to be capitalised) of the amounts or part of the amounts remaining unpaid on their existing Shares,

and any such agreement made under this authority being effective and binding on all those Shareholders; and

(e)     generally do all acts and things required to give effect to the resolution.

23

138.  Notwithstanding any provisions in these Articles and subject to the Companies Act, the Directors may resolve to capitalise an amount standing to the credit of reserves (including the share premium account, capital redemption reserve and profit and loss account) or otherwise available for distribution by applying such sum in paying up in full unissued Shares to be allotted and issued to:

(a)     employees (including Directors) or service providers of the Company or its Affiliates upon exercise or vesting of any options or awards granted under any share incentive scheme or employee benefit scheme or other arrangement which relates to such persons that has been adopted or approved by the Directors or the Members; or

(b)    any trustee of any trust or administrator of any share incentive scheme or employee benefit scheme to whom shares are to be allotted and issued by the Company in connection with the operation of any share incentive scheme or employee benefit scheme or other arrangement which relates to such persons that has been adopted or approved by the Directors or Members.

SHARE PREMIUM ACCOUNT

139.  The Directors shall in accordance with the Companies Act establish a Share Premium Account and shall carry to the credit of such account from time to time a sum equal to the amount or value of the premium paid on the issue of any Share.

140.  There shall be debited to any Share Premium Account on the redemption or purchase of a Share the difference between the nominal value of such Share and the redemption or purchase price provided always that at the discretion of the Directors such sum may be paid out of the profits of the Company or, if permitted by the Companies Act, out of capital.

NOTICES

141.  Except as otherwise provided in these Articles, any notice or document may be served by the Company or by the Person entitled to give notice to any Shareholder either personally, or by posting it by airmail or a recognised courier service in a prepaid letter addressed to such Shareholder at his address as appearing in the Register, or by electronic mail to any electronic mail address such Shareholder may have specified in writing for the purpose of such service of notices, or by facsimile to any facsimile number such Shareholder may have specified in writing for the purpose of such service of notices, or by placing it on the Company’s Website should the Directors deem it appropriate. In the case of joint holders of a Share, all notices shall be given to that one of the joint holders whose name stands first in the Register in respect of the joint holding, and notice so given shall be sufficient notice to all the joint holders.

142.  Notices sent from one country to another shall be sent or forwarded by prepaid airmail or a recognised courier service.

143.  Any Shareholder Present at any meeting of the Company shall for all purposes be deemed to have received due notice of such meeting and, where requisite, of the purposes for which such meeting was convened.

144.  Any notice or other document, if served by:

(a)     post, shall be deemed to have been served five calendar days after the time when the letter containing the same is posted;

24

In proving service by post or courier service it shall be sufficient to prove that the letter containing the notice or documents was properly addressed and duly posted or delivered to the courier service.

145.  Any notice or document delivered or sent by post to or left at the registered address of any Shareholder in accordance with the terms of these Articles shall notwithstanding that such Shareholder be then dead or bankrupt, and whether or not the Company has notice of his death or bankruptcy, be deemed to have been duly served in respect of any Share registered in the name of such Shareholder as sole or joint holder, unless his name shall at the time of the service of the notice or document have been removed from the Register as the holder of the Share, and such service shall for all purposes be deemed a sufficient service of such notice or document on all Persons interested (whether jointly with or as claiming through or under him) in the Share.

146.  Notice of every general meeting of the Company shall be given to:

(a)     all Shareholders holding Shares with the right to receive notice and who have supplied to the Company an address for the giving of notices to them; and

INFORMATION

148.  Subject to due compliance with the relevant laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Company, the Board shall be entitled to release or disclose any information in its possession, custody or control regarding the Company or its affairs to any of its Members including, without limitation, information contained in the Register and transfer books of the Company.

INDEMNITY

149.  Every Director (including for the purposes of this Article any alternate Director appointed pursuant to the provisions of these Articles), Secretary, assistant Secretary, or other officer for the time being and from time to time of the Company (but not including the Company’s auditors) and the personal representatives of the same (each an “Indemnified Person”) shall be indemnified and secured harmless against all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities incurred or sustained by such Indemnified Person, other than by reason of such Indemnified Person’s own dishonesty, willful default or fraud, in or about the conduct of the Company’s business or affairs (including as a result of any mistake of judgment) or in the execution or discharge of his duties, powers, authorities or discretions, including without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, any costs, expenses, losses or liabilities incurred by such Indemnified Person in defending (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil proceedings concerning the Company or its affairs in any court whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere. To the extent permissible under applicable laws, the Members waive any claim or right of action that they may have, both individually and on the Company’s behalf, against any Director in relation to any action or failure to take action by such Director in the performance of his or her duties with or for the Company, except in respect of any dishonesty, willful default or fraud of such Director.

150.  No Indemnified Person shall be liable:

(a)     for the acts, receipts, neglects, defaults or omissions of any other Director or officer or agent of the Company; or

(b)    for any loss on account of defect of title to any property of the Company; or

(c)     on account of the insufficiency of any security in or upon which any money of the Company shall be invested; or

25

(d)    for any loss incurred through any bank, broker or other similar Person; or

(e)     for any loss occasioned by any negligence, default, breach of duty, breach of trust, error of judgement or oversight on such Indemnified Person’s part; or

(f)     for any loss, damage or misfortune whatsoever which may happen in or arise from the execution or discharge of the duties, powers, authorities, or discretions of such Indemnified Person’s office or in relation thereto;

unless the same shall happen through such Indemnified Person’s own dishonesty, willful default or fraud.

FINANCIAL YEAR

151.  Unless the Directors otherwise prescribe, the financial year of the Company shall end on 31 March in each calendar year and shall begin on 1 April in each calendar year.

NON-RECOGNITION OF TRUSTS

152.  No Person shall be recognised by the Company as holding any Share upon any trust and the Company shall not, unless required by law, be bound by or be compelled in any way to recognise (even when having notice thereof) any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any Share or (except only as otherwise provided by these Articles or as the Companies Act requires) any other right in respect of any Share except an absolute right to the entirety thereof in each Shareholder registered in the Register.

WINDING UP

153.  If the Company shall be wound up the liquidator may, with the sanction of a Special Resolution of the Company and any other sanction required by the Companies Act, divide amongst the Members in species or in kind the whole or any part of the assets of the Company (whether they shall consist of property of the same kind or not) and may for that purpose value any assets and determine how the division shall be carried out as between the Members or different classes of Members. The liquidator may, with the like sanction, vest the whole or any part of such assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the Members as the liquidator, with the like sanction, shall think fit, but so that no Member shall be compelled to accept any asset upon which there is a liability.

154.  If the Company shall be wound up, and the assets available for distribution amongst the Members shall be insufficient to repay the whole of the share capital, such assets shall be distributed so that, as nearly as may be, the losses shall be borne by the Members in proportion to the par value of the Shares held by them. If in a winding up the assets available for distribution amongst the Members shall be more than sufficient to repay the whole of the share capital at the commencement of the winding up, the surplus shall be distributed amongst the Members in proportion to the par value of the Shares held by them at the commencement of the winding up subject to a deduction from those Shares in respect of which there are monies due, of all monies payable to the Company for unpaid calls or otherwise. This Article is without prejudice to the rights of the holders of Shares issued upon special terms and conditions.

AMENDMENT OF ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

155.  Subject to the Companies Act, the Company may at any time and from time to time by Special Resolution alter or amend these Articles in whole or in part.

CLOSING OF REGISTER OR FIXING RECORD DATE

156.  For the purpose of determining those Shareholders that are entitled to receive notice of, attend or vote at any meeting of Shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or those Shareholders that are entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination as to who is a Shareholder for any other purpose, the Directors may provide that the Register shall be closed for transfers for a stated period which shall not exceed in any case thirty calendar days in any calendar year.

26

157.  In lieu of or apart from closing the Register, the Directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of those Shareholders that are entitled to receive notice of, attend or vote at a meeting of the Shareholders and for the purpose of determining those Shareholders that are entitled to receive payment of any dividend the Directors may, at or within ninety calendar days prior to the date of declaration of such dividend, fix a subsequent date as the record date for such determination.

158.  If the Register is not so closed and no record date is fixed for the determination of those Shareholders entitled to receive notice of, attend or vote at a meeting of Shareholders or those Shareholders that are entitled to receive payment of a dividend, the date on which notice of the meeting is posted or the date on which the resolution of the Directors declaring such dividend is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the record date for such determination of Shareholders. When a determination of those Shareholders that are entitled to receive notice of, attend or vote at a meeting of Shareholders has been made as provided in this Article, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof.

REGISTRATION BY WAY OF CONTINUATION

159.  The Company may by Special Resolution resolve to be registered by way of continuation in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands or such other jurisdiction in which it is for the time being incorporated, registered or existing. In furtherance of a resolution adopted pursuant to this Article, the Directors may cause an application to be made to the Registrar of Companies to deregister the Company in the Cayman Islands or such other jurisdiction in which it is for the time being incorporated, registered or existing and may cause all such further steps as they consider appropriate to be taken to effect the transfer by way of continuation of the Company.

DISCLOSURE

160.  The Directors, or any service providers (including the officers, the Secretary and the registered office provider of the Company) specifically authorised by the Directors, shall be entitled to disclose to any regulatory or judicial authority any information regarding the affairs of the Company including without limitation information contained in the Register and books of the Company.
