<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are offering 8,000,000 American depositary shares, or ADSs, in this offering and the selling shareholders identified in this prospectus
supplement are offering 1,500,000 ADSs. Each ADS represents eight of our Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares, par value US$0.00005 per share. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the ADSs to
be offered by the selling shareholders. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
ADSs are listed on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol "GDS." On January 22, 2018, the last reported sale price of the ADSs on the Nasdaq Global Market was
US$26.97&nbsp;per&nbsp;ADS. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
outstanding share capital consists of Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares and Class&nbsp;B ordinary shares. The rights of the holders of our Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares and our
Class&nbsp;B ordinary shares are virtually identical other than with respect to voting, conversion and director nomination rights. Each of our Class&nbsp;A and Class&nbsp;B ordinary shares is
entitled to one vote per share except that each Class&nbsp;B ordinary share is entitled to 20&nbsp;votes with respect to (i)&nbsp;the election of a simple majority of our directors and
(ii)&nbsp;any change to our articles of association that would adversely affect the rights of the holders of Class&nbsp;B ordinary shares at general meetings of our shareholders. Each
Class&nbsp;B ordinary share is convertible at any time into one Class&nbsp;A ordinary share. For so long as there are Class&nbsp;B ordinary shares outstanding, the holders of Class&nbsp;B
ordinary shares will also have the right to nominate one less than a simple majority, or five, of the directors to our board of directors, which directors shall be subject to the voting arrangements
described above. See "Description of Share&nbsp;Capital." </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are a leading developer and operator of high-performance data centers in China. Our facilities are strategically located in China's primary
economic hubs where demand for high-performance data center services is concentrated. Our data centers have large net floor area, high power capacity, density and efficiency, and multiple redundancy
across all critical systems. We are carrier and cloud neutral, which enables our customers to connect to all major PRC telecommunications carriers, and to access a number of the largest PRC cloud
service providers, whom we host in our facilities. We offer colocation and managed services, including direct private connection to major cloud platforms. We have a 17-year track record of service
delivery, successfully fulfilling the requirements of some of the largest and most demanding customers for outsourced data center services in China. Our base of approximately 500&nbsp;customers
consists predominantly of hyper-scale cloud service providers, large Internet companies, financial institutions, telecommunications and IT service providers, and large domestic private sector and
multinational corporations. As of September&nbsp;30, 2017, we had an aggregate net floor area of 77,832&nbsp;sqm in service, 89.8% of which was committed, and an aggregate net floor area of
37,478&nbsp;sqm under construction, 34.6% of which was pre-committed. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
believe the market for high-performance data center services in China is experiencing strong growth. Demand is driven by the confluence of several secular economic and industry
trends, including: rapid growth of the Internet, e-commerce, e-payments and big data; rising adoption of cloud computing and server virtualization, which requires data centers with higher power
capacity, density and efficiency; increasing criticality of information technology and data in the enterprise environment which requires data centers with higher reliability; and growing reliance by
enterprises on outsourcing as a solution to the increasing complexity and cost of managing mission-critical IT infrastructure. We believe that, as a result of this strong demand and the challenges of
sourcing, developing and operating new facilities that meet the required standard, there is a relative scarcity of high-performance data center capacity in China. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
portfolio of data centers and secured expansion capacity are strategically located to address this growing demand. We operate our data centers to service our customers predominantly
in Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Chengdu and Hong Kong, the primary financial, commercial, industrial and communications hubs in each region of China. Our data centers are located in close
proximity to the corporate headquarters and key operation centers of many large enterprises, providing convenient access for our customers. Furthermore, the extensive multi-carrier telecommunications
networks in these markets enable our customers to enhance the performance and lower the cost of connectivity to our&nbsp;facilities. In addition to our core markets, we have recently commenced
construction of build-to-suit data centers for one of our largest customers, Alibaba, at a low-cost location in North&nbsp;China. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
data centers are large-scale, highly reliable and highly efficient facilities that provide a flexible, modular and secure operating environment in which our customers can house,
power and cool the computer systems and networking equipment that support their mission-critical IT infrastructure. We install large power capacity and optimize power usage efficiency, which enables
our customers to deploy </FONT></P>

IT infrastructure more efficiently and reduce their operating and capital costs. As a result of our advanced data center design, high technical specifications and robust operating procedures, we
are able to make service level commitments related to service availability and other key metrics that meet our customers' required standards. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
currently serve approximately 500&nbsp;customers, including large Internet companies, a diverse community of approximately 250&nbsp;financial institutions, telecommunications and
IT service providers and large domestic private sector and multinational corporations, many of which are leaders in their respective industries. Within our customer base, we host a number of major
cloud platforms, including Ali Cloud and Tencent Cloud, which are each present in several of our data centers. Contracts with our large Internet and hyper-scale cloud customers have terms of three to
ten years, while contracts with our enterprise customers typically have terms of one to five years. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
of September&nbsp;30, 2017, we operated twelve self-developed data centers with an aggregate net floor area of 66,261&nbsp;sqm in service. We also operated capacity at
approximately twenty third-party data centers with an aggregate net floor area of 11,571&nbsp;sqm in service, which we lease on a wholesale basis
and use to provide colocation and managed services to our customers. As of the same date, we had a further six new self-developed data centers and one phase of an existing data center with an
aggregate net floor area of 37,478&nbsp;sqm under construction. In the three months ended December 31, 2017, we commenced operations of an additional four self-developed data centers and had one
additional new data center under construction. In addition, since January 1, 2018 through the date of this prospectus, we had a further three data centers under construction, with an aggregate area
under construction of approximately 15,000 sqm. In addition, we had an estimated aggregate developable net floor area of approximately 41,000&nbsp;sqm held for future development and had entered
into four memoranda of understanding for leasing up to eight data center shell buildings that we expect to provide us with additional net floor area of approximately 46,000&nbsp;sqm. Our net revenue
and results of operations are largely determined by the degree to which data center space is committed or pre-committed as well as its utilization. We had commitment rates of 87.5% and 89.0% as of
December&nbsp;31, 2015 and 2016, respectively. Our commitment rate of area in service was 89.8% at the end of the third quarter of 2017, compared with 93.8% at the end of the third quarter of 2016.
We had utilization rates of 59.1% and 60.8% as of December&nbsp;31, 2015 and 2016, respectively. Our utilization rate of area in service was 65.0% at the end of the third quarter of 2017, compared
with 70.4% at the end of the third quarter of 2016. The difference between our commitment rate and our utilization rate is primarily attributable to customers who have entered into agreements but have
not yet started to use revenue generating services. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In April 2017, we entered into a strategic partnership agreement with Tencent Cloud Computing (Beijing)&nbsp;Co.,&nbsp;Ltd., or Tencent
Cloud, pursuant to which we agreed to provide secure and continuous data center resources to Tencent Cloud to support their demand, which agreement was supplemented in May 2017. We and Tencent Cloud
agreed to cooperate on cloud computing and related professional solution services. We and Tencent Cloud will also cooperate on data center design and high-quality operating standards, and closely
collaborate on technology development, joint marketing activities and attracting customers, so as to drive and promote cloud-computing services in China. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Since
September&nbsp;30, 2017, we have had several developments in our business activities, particularly in the areas of strategic partnerships and resource acquisitions. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
October&nbsp;2017, as part of our efforts to explore various financing options, we received from the National Development and Reform Commission, or the NDRC, the </FONT> <FONT SIZE=2><I>Registration Certificate of the Filing of Foreign Debt Borrowed
by Enterprises</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, or the Foreign Debt Registration Certificate, which allows us to issue
foreign currency denominated bonds of up to US$300&nbsp;million subject to certain conditions. We are in the process of applying to the NDRC for certain amendments to the conditions of the Foreign
Debt Registration Certificate, which, upon the approval by the NDRC, would provide us more flexibility in our foreign currency denominated debt financing in the&nbsp;future. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
October&nbsp;2017, we formed a new strategic partnership with CyrusOne&nbsp;Inc., or CyrusOne, a premier global data center REIT company, through the execution of a commercial
agreement, and the issuance to CyrusOne of 64,257,028&nbsp;Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares, equivalent to approximately 8.0&nbsp;million ADSs, at a purchase price of $1.55625 per ordinary share, or
US$12.45 per ADS, for a total consideration of US$100&nbsp;million. Pursuant to the commercial agreement, the parties intend to exchange best practices as to sales and marketing, data center design
and construction, supply chain management, customer relationship management, as well as operations, leveraging the core </FONT></P>

of both companies in order to deliver data center solutions to their respective customers and assist in their global expansion. In connection with its investment, CyrusOne president and
chief executive officer Gary Wojtaszek joined our board of directors as an observer and will be elected as a director in future. In October&nbsp;2017, we also agreed to grant to STT GDC and SBCVC,
two of our major shareholders, preemptive rights with respect to future private issuances of equity or equity-linked securities we conduct anytime in the eighteen months following CyrusOne's
investment, whereby STT GDC and SBCVC will have the right to subscribe for pro&nbsp;rata portions of any such future offerings based on their shareholdings at the time of the agreement. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
November&nbsp;2017, our outstanding convertible bonds in an aggregate principal amount of US$150.0&nbsp;million were voluntarily converted into approximately 97.9&nbsp;million
additional Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares, representing 10.4% of our enlarged issued share capital immediately after completion of the&nbsp;conversion. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
November&nbsp;2017, we entered into an agreement for a new data center campus development project for Alibaba Group, or Alibaba. The new campus is to be located in Hebei province
and is expected to be developed in several phases, with the first phase of approximately 5,000&nbsp;sqm of IT capacity already under construction. Alibaba has committed to 100% of the capacity in
this new data&nbsp;center. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
November&nbsp;2017, we entered into a 20-year lease with a property owner with respect to the lease of a shell building located in the Shanghai Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone with a net
floor area of approximately 5,000&nbsp;sqm. This lease represents our first step towards acquiring the net floor area of approximately 46,000&nbsp;sqm covered by the four memoranda of
understanding that we had entered into as of September&nbsp;30,&nbsp;2017. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
November&nbsp;2017, we entered into a letter of intent with a third party in respect of a potential acquisition of a company which is in the process of developing a data center
located in Beijing. The execution of the definitive agreement for the acquisition is subject to the satisfactory completion of our due diligence. We expect that the completion of the foregoing
acquisition would provide us with additional net floor area of approximately 4,500&nbsp;sqm. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
December&nbsp;22, 2017, we convened an extraordinary general meeting of our shareholders, or the EGM, at which our shareholders passed ordinary resolutions authorizing our board of
directors to allot or issue, in the 12-month period from the date of the EGM, ordinary shares or other equity-linked securities up to an aggregate twenty per&nbsp;cent (20%) of our existing issued
share capital at the date of the EGM, whether in a single transaction or a series of transactions (other than any allotment or issues of shares on the exercise of any options that have been granted
by&nbsp;us). </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
of December&nbsp;31,&nbsp;2017, we had received the approvals from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, or the MIIT, to expand the scope of our Internet data
center licenses, or IDC licenses, to cover internet resources collaboration services, fixed network domestic data transmission services and domestic internet virtual private networks service which,
among other things, enable us to provide connectivity services over our own network to cloud and enterprise customers colocated in all of our data&nbsp;centers. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
January&nbsp;2018, we entered into a non-binding letter of intent with State Development Investment Corporation, or SDIC, the largest state-owned investment holding company in
China, China United Network Communications Corporation Limited, or China Unicom, and China Telecommunications Corporation Limited, or China Telecom, for the joint development of data centers in
selected upcoming markets in China. We believe that this positions us to capture a growing market opportunity outside our core geographic markets. The parties intend to prioritize an initial pilot
project in the Tianjin&nbsp;market. </FONT></P>

Recent Regulatory Developments  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On July&nbsp;3, 2017, the MIIT amended the </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Administrative Measures for Telecommunications Business Operating
License</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> which amendment was promulgated on March&nbsp;1, 2009 and took effect on September&nbsp;1, 2017. The amendment mainly includes, among others, (i)&nbsp;the
establishment of a telecommunications business integrated management online platform; (ii)&nbsp;provisions allowing the holder of a telecommunications business license (including the IDC license) to
authorize a company, of which such license holder holds at least 51% of the equity interests indirectly, to engage in the relevant telecommunications business; and (iii)&nbsp;the cancellation of the
requirement of an annual inspection of telecommunications business licenses, instead requiring license holders to complete an annual&nbsp;report. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
2015, the MIIT updated the </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Telecom Catalogue</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> which took effect on March&nbsp;1, 2016. According to the </FONT> <FONT SIZE=2><I>Telecom Catalogue</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, "fixed network domestic data
transmission services" is categorized as a basic telecommunications business and is defined under the </FONT> <FONT SIZE=2><I>Telecom Catalogue</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> as "a domestic end-to-end data transfer business by wired mode under fixed-net,
except for the internet data transfer business." The
"domestic internet virtual private networks service" is categorized as a value-added telecommunications business and is defined under the </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Telecom
Catalogue</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> as "a customization business of internet closed user group network for domestic users by self-owned or leased internet network resources of the operators and adopting
TCP/IP agreement." GDS Beijing expanded its IDC license to cover fixed network domestic data transmission services and domestic internet virtual private networks services in September&nbsp;2017. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
MIIT replaced the </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Administrative Measures on China Internet Domain Names</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> with the </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Administration Measures of
Internet Domain Names</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> which took effect on November&nbsp;1,&nbsp;2017. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The </FONT> <FONT SIZE=2><I>Provisional Regulations on Value-Added Tax of the PRC</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> was amended on November&nbsp;19, 2017 according to which any entity or
individual engaged in the sales of goods, provision of processing, repairs and replacement services, sales of services, intangible assets and real properties, and importation of goods are generally
required to pay a value-added&nbsp;tax. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Land Registration Measures</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> promulgated by the Ministry of Land and Resources, or the MLR, was annulled by the </FONT> <FONT SIZE=2><I>Decisions on Amending and Annulling Certain Rules</I></FONT><FONT
SIZE=2> by the MLR on December&nbsp;29,&nbsp;2017. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
March&nbsp;12, 1984, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress promulgated the </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Patent Law</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, which was amended in 1992,
2000 and 2008. On June&nbsp;15, 2001, the State Council promulgated the </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Implementation Regulation for the Patent Law</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, which was amended in
January&nbsp;9, 2010. According to these laws and regulations, the State Intellectual Property Office is responsible for administering patents in the PRC. The Chinese patent system adopts a "first
to file" principle, which means that where more than one person files&nbsp;a patent application for the same invention, a patent will be granted to the person who filed the application first. To be
patentable, invention or utility models must meet three conditions: novelty, inventiveness and practical applicability. A patent is valid for 20&nbsp;years in the case of an invention and
10&nbsp;years in the case of utility models and designs. A third-party user must obtain consent or a proper license from the patent owner to use the patent. One of our consolidated VIEs obtained
three utility models in&nbsp;2016. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
a foreign private issuer, we are exempt under the Exchange Act from, among other things, the rules prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and our executive
officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section&nbsp;16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, we will not be
required under the Exchange Act to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S.&nbsp;companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange
Act. However, we intend to furnish the depositary with our annual reports, which will include a review of operations and annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United&nbsp;States, and all notices of shareholders' meeting and other reports and communications that are made generally available to our
shareholders. The depositary will make such notices, reports and communications available to holders of ADSs and will mail to all record holders of ADSs the information contained in any notice of a
shareholders' meeting received by the depositary from&nbsp;us. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
a company with less than US$1.07&nbsp;billion in revenue for the last fiscal year, we qualify as an "emerging growth company" pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of
2012, or the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions
include exemption from the auditor attestation requirement under Section&nbsp;404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or Section&nbsp;404, in the assessment of the emerging growth company's
internal control over financial reporting. The JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company does not need to comply with any new or revised financial accounting standards until such date
that a private company is otherwise required to comply with such new or revised accounting standards. However, we have elected to "opt out" of this provision and, as a result, we will comply with new
or revised accounting standards as required when they are adopted for public companies. This decision to opt out of the extended transition period under the JOBS Act is&nbsp;irrevocable. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (a)&nbsp;the last day of our fiscal year during which we have total annual gross revenues of at least
US$1.07&nbsp;billion; (b)&nbsp;December&nbsp;31, 2021; (c)&nbsp;the date on which we have, during the previous three year period, issued more than US$1.0&nbsp;billion in non-convertible
debt; or (d)&nbsp;the date on which we are deemed to be a "large accelerated filer" under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value
of our ADSs that are held by non-affiliates exceeds US$700&nbsp;million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter. Once we cease to be an emerging growth
company, we will not be entitled to the exemptions provided in the JOBS Act discussed above. </FONT></P>

 <P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
management and board of directors use adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net operating income, or adjusted NOI, and adjusted NOI margin, which are non-GAAP financial
measures, to evaluate our operating performance, establish budgets and develop operational goals for managing our business. In particular, we believe that the exclusion of the income and expenses
eliminated in calculating adjusted EBITDA and adjusted NOI can provide a useful measure of our core operating performance. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
also present these non-GAAP measures because we believe these non-GAAP measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as measures of the
financial performance of companies in our&nbsp;industry. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;These
non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S.&nbsp;GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S.&nbsp;GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as
analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, cash flows or our liquidity, investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for net income (loss), cash flows
provided by operating activities or other consolidated statements of operations and cash flow data prepared in accordance with U.S.&nbsp;GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of
these non-GAAP financial measures instead of their nearest GAAP equivalent. First, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted NOI, and adjusted NOI margin are not substitutes for gross profit,
net income (loss), cash flows provided by operating activities or other consolidated statements of operation and cash flow data prepared in accordance with U.S.&nbsp;GAAP. Second, other companies
may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of these non-GAAP financial measures as
tools for comparison. Finally, these non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect the impact of net interest expenses, incomes tax benefits, depreciation and amortization, accretion expenses for asset
retirement costs, share-based compensation expenses, and gain on remeasurement of equity investment, each of which have been and may continue to be incurred in our&nbsp;business. </FONT></P>

the reader. Unless otherwise noted, all translations from Renminbi to U.S.&nbsp;dollars and from U.S.&nbsp;dollars to Renminbi in this prospectus supplement were made at the rate of RMB6.6533 to
US$1.00, the noon buying rate in effect on September&nbsp;29, 2017 in the H.10&nbsp;statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board. We make no representation that the Renminbi or
U.S.&nbsp;dollar amounts referred to in this prospectus supplement could have been or could be converted into U.S.&nbsp;dollars or Renminbi, as the case may be, at any particular rate or at all.
The Chinese government imposes control over its foreign currency reserves in part through direct regulation of the conversion of Renminbi into foreign exchange and through restrictions on foreign
trade. On January&nbsp;19, 2018, the noon buying rate for Renminbi was RMB6.3990 to&nbsp;US$1.00. </FONT></P>

either on a stand-alone basis or bundled in a managed service contract arrangement and provide consulting services. Our net revenues for colocation were RMB500.9&nbsp;million,

We face risks associated with having a long selling and implementation cycle for our services that requires
us to make significant capital expenditures and resource commitments prior to recognizing revenue for those&nbsp;services.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have a long selling cycle for our services, which typically requires significant investment of capital, human resources and time by both our
customers and us. Constructing, developing and operating our data centers require significant capital expenditures. A customer's decision to utilize our colocation services, our managed solutions or
our other services typically involves time-consuming contract negotiations regarding the service level commitments and other terms, and substantial due diligence on the part of the customer regarding
the adequacy of our infrastructure and attractiveness of our resources and services. Furthermore, we may expend significant time and resources in pursuing a particular sale or customer, and we do not
recognize revenue for our services until such time as the services are provided under the terms of the applicable contract. Our efforts in pursuing a particular sale or customer may not be successful,
and we may not always have sufficient capital on hand to satisfy our working capital needs between the date on which we sign an agreement with a new customer and when we first receive revenue for
services delivered to the customer. If our efforts in pursuing sales and customers are unsuccessful, or our cash on hand is insufficient to cover our working
capital needs over the course of our long selling cycle, our financial condition could be negatively affected. </FONT></P>

The data center business is capital-intensive, and we expect our capacity to generate capital in the short

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
costs of constructing, developing and operating data centers are substantial. Further, we may encounter development delays, excess development costs, or delays in
developing space for our customers to utilize. We also may not be able to identify suitable land or facilities for new data centers or at a cost on terms acceptable to us. We are required to fund the
costs of constructing, developing and operating our data centers with cash retained from operations, as well as from financings from bank and other borrowings. Moreover, the costs of constructing,
developing and operating data centers have increased in recent years, and may further increase in the future, which may make it more difficult for us to expand our business and to operate our data
centers profitably. Based on our current expansion plans, we do not expect that our net revenue in the short term will be sufficient to offset increases in these costs, or that our business operations
in the short term will generate capital sufficient to meet our anticipated capital requirements. If we cannot generate sufficient capital to meet our anticipated capital requirements, our financial
condition, business expansion and future prospects could be materially and adversely affected. </FONT></P>

a result of covenants and restrictions, we are limited in how we conduct our business, and we may be unable to raise additional debt or equity financing to compete effectively or to
take advantage of new business opportunities. Our current or future borrowings could increase the level of financial risk to us and, to the extent that the interest rates are not fixed and rise, or
that borrowings are refinanced at higher rates, our available cash flow and results of operations could be adversely affected. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have financing arrangements in place with various lenders to support specific data center construction projects. Certain of these financing arrangements are secured by our accounts
receivable, property and equipment and land use rights. The terms of these financing arrangements may impose covenants and obligations on the part of both the borrowing subsidiary of ours and us as
guarantor. For example, some of these agreements contain requirements to maintain a specified minimum cash balance at all times or require that the borrower's outstanding loans stay within a
"borrowing range." A subsidiary of ours in the past failed to meet the borrowing range requirement and although the subsidiary obtained a waiver letter from the creditor that waived the covenant
violations, we cannot provide any assurances that we will always be able to meet any covenant tests under our financing arrangements. In addition, other loan facility agreements of ours require that
STT GDC, one of our major shareholders, maintain a ownership percentage in our company of at least 25% or, in some cases, 30%. If STT GDC's ownership in our company were to decrease below either of
these percentages, pursuant to the terms of relevant facility agreements we could be obligated to notify the lender or repay any loans outstanding immediately or on an accelerated repayment schedule. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
terms of any future indebtedness we may incur could include more restrictive covenants. A breach of any of these covenants could result in a default with respect to the related
indebtedness. If a default occurs, the relevant lenders could elect to declare the indebtedness, together with accrued interest and other fees, to be due and payable immediately. This, in turn, could
cause our other debt, to become due and payable as a result of cross-default or acceleration provisions contained in the agreements
governing such other debt. In the event that some or all of our debt is accelerated and becomes immediately due and payable, we may not have the funds to repay, or the ability to refinance,
such&nbsp;debt. </FONT></P>

We will likely require additional capital to meet our future capital needs, which may adversely affect our
financial position and result in additional shareholder dilution.</I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To
grow our operations, we will be required to commit a substantial amount of operating and financial resources. Our planned capital expenditures, together with our
ongoing operating expenses, will cause substantial cash outflows. In the near term, we will likely be unable to fund our expansion plans solely through our operating cash flows. Accordingly, we will
likely need to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings in the future in order to meet our operating and capital needs. In this regard, our shareholders recently passed ordinary
resolutions authorizing our board of directors to allot or issue, before December&nbsp;22, 2018, ordinary shares or other equity-linked securities up to an aggregate twenty per&nbsp;cent (20%) of
our existing issued share capital at December&nbsp;22, 2017, whether in a single transaction or a series of transactions (other than any allotment or issues of shares on the exercise of any options
that have been granted by us). Additional debt or equity financing may not be available when needed or, if available, may not be available on satisfactory terms. Our inability to obtain additional
debt and/or equity financing or to generate sufficient cash from operations may require us to prioritize projects or curtail capital expenditures and could adversely affect our results
of&nbsp;operations. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity or equity-linked securities, our existing shareholders could suffer significant dilution in their percentage ownership of
our company, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of holders of our ordinary shares. In addition, any debt financing that we may obtain
in the future could have restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional
capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. </FONT></P>

Increased power costs and limited availability of power resources may adversely affect our results
of&nbsp;operations.</I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
are a large consumer of power and costs of power account for a significant portion of our cost of revenue. We require power supply to provide many services we offer,
such as
powering and cooling our customers' servers and network equipment and operating critical data center plant and equipment infrastructure. Since we rely on two centralized power utility suppliers, State
Grid and Southern Grid, to provide our data centers with power, our data centers could have limited or inadequate access to&nbsp;power. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;New
requirements from local authorities as to energy conversation may also limit our ability to obtain power supply. For example, the Development and Reform Commission of Shenzhen
Municipality, or Shenzhen DRC, issued regulations in the first half of 2017 to tighten the requirements for energy conservation review of fixed-asset investment projects for data centers by requiring
all such projects to obtain an energy conservation review opinion from Shenzhen DRC regardless of the amount of their energy consumption and conditioning its approval of power supply applications on
the receipt of such energy conservation review opinion. We plan to conduct relevant energy conservation examinations of our data center construction projects to meet the requirements under relevant
laws and regulations (including requirements of local authorities). However, we may incur additional costs in order to fulfill such requirements, and we cannot assure you that our data centers will
meet all the requirements and that we will obtain all relevant approvals, the lack of which could have a material and adverse effect on our business and expected growth. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
amount of power required by our customers may increase as they adopt new technologies, for example, for virtualization of hardware resources. As a result, the average amount of power
utilized per server is increasing, which in turn increases power consumption required to cool the data center facilities. Pursuant to our colocation service contracts, we provide our customers with a

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We

backup generators and battery power. However, these protections may not limit our exposure to power shortages or outages entirely. Any system downtime resulting from insufficient power resources or
power outages could damage our reputation and lead us to lose current and potential customers, which would harm our financial condition and results of&nbsp;operations. </FONT></P>

expand our operations, primarily including costs and expenses associated with owning and leasing data center space, increasing our headcount and utility expenses. Our ability to achieve and maintain
profitability depends on the continued growth and maintenance of our customer base, our ability to control our costs and expenses, the expansion of our service offerings and our ability to provide our

have in the past experienced, and may in the future experience, interruptions in service due to power outages or other technical failures or for reasons outside of our control,
including a service interruption that caused system downtime to certain banking and financial institution customers and other customers. These interruptions in service, regardless of whether they
result in breaches of the service level agreements we have with customers, may negatively affect our relationships with customers, including resulting in customers terminating their agreements with us
or seeking damages from us or other compensatory actions. Interruptions in service may also have consequences for customers, such as banking and financial institutions, that are under the oversight of
industry regulators, including the China Banking Regulatory Commission, or CBRC, and other PRC regulatory agencies. In response to such interruptions in service, industry regulators have taken, and
may in the future take, various regulatory actions, including notifications or citations to our customers, over which they have oversight. Such regulatory actions with respect to our customers,
including banking and financial institutions, could negatively impact our relationships with such customers, lead to audits of our services, inspections of our facilities, place restrictions or

third parties before the commencement of the lease. If such third parties claim their rights on the mortgaged properties in case of default or breach under the principal debt by the lessors or other
relevant parties, we may not be able to protect our leasehold interest and may be ordered to vacate the affected premises. Any relocation could also affect our ability to provide continuous

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Furthermore,
certain portions of our data center operations are located in third-party data centers that we lease from wholesale data center providers. Our agreements with third parties
are typically three years but may also be up to ten years. Under some of such agreements, we have the right of first refusal to renew the agreements subject to mutual agreement with the third parties.
Some of such agreements allow the third parties to terminate the agreements early, subject to a notification period requirement and the payment of a pre-determined termination fee, which in some cases
may not be sufficient to cover any direct and indirect losses we might incur as a result. Although historically we have successfully renewed all agreements we wanted to renew, and we do not believe
that any of our agreements will be terminated early in the future, there can be no assurance that the counterparties
will not terminate any of our agreements prior to its expiration date. We plan to renew our existing agreements with third parties upon expiration or migrate our operations to the data centers leased
or owned by our company. However, we may not be able to renew these agreements on commercially acceptable terms, if at all, or the space in data centers that we lease or own may not be adequate for us
to relocate such operations, and we may experience an increase in our payments under such agreements. Any adverse change to our ability to exert operational control over any of the data center
facilities we operate could have a material adverse effect on our ability to operate these data center facilities at the standards required for us to meet our service level commitments to

December&nbsp;31, 2016. We have in the past derived, and believe that we will continue to derive, a significant portion of our net revenue from a limited number of customers. We had two end user

25.7% of our total net revenue in the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2017. No other end user customer accounted for 10% or more of our total net revenue during those periods. We
expect
our net revenue will continue to be highly dependent on a limited number of end user customers who account for a large percentage of our total area committed. As of September&nbsp;30, 2017, we had
two end user customers who accounted for 30.7% and 22.4%, respectively, of our total area committed. No other end user customer accounted for 10% or more of total area committed. Moreover, for several
of our data centers, a limited number of end user customers accounted for a substantial majority of area committed or area utilized. If there are delays in the move in, whereby the net floor area they
are committed to are not utilized as expected, or there is contract termination in relation to these customers, then our net revenue and results of operations would be materially and adversely
affected. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There
are a number of factors that could cause us to lose major customers. Because many of our contracts involve services that are mission-critical to our customers, any failure by us to
meet a customer's expectations could result in cancellation or non-renewal of the contract. Our service agreements usually allow our customers to terminate their agreements with us before the end of
the contract period under certain specified circumstances, including our failure to deliver services as required under such agreements, and in some cases without cause as long as sufficient notice is
given. In addition, our customers may decide to reduce spending on our services due to a challenging economic environment or other factors, both internal and external, relating to their business such
as corporate restructuring or changing their outsourcing strategy by moving more facilities in-house or outsourcing to other service providers. Furthermore, our customers, some of who have experienced
rapid changes in their business, substantial price competition and pressures on their profitability, may demand price reductions or reduce the scope of services to be provided by us, any of which
could reduce our profitability. In addition, our reliance on any individual customer for a significant portion of our net revenue may give that customer a degree of pricing leverage against us when
negotiating contracts and terms of services with&nbsp;us. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
loss of any of our major customers, or a significant decrease in the extent of the services that they outsource to us or the price at which we sell our services to them, could
materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of&nbsp;operations. </FONT></P>

that this trend will continue. In addition, if we fail to offer services that are cost-competitive and operationally advantageous as compared with services provided in-house by our customers, we may

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We seek to renew customer contracts when those contracts are due for renewal. We endeavor to provide high levels of customer service, support,
and satisfaction to maintain long-term customer relationships and to secure high rates of contract renewals for our services. Nevertheless, we cannot assure you that we will be able to renew service
contracts with our existing customers or re-commit space relating to expired service contracts to new customers if our current customers do not renew their contracts. In the event of a customer's
termination or non-renewal of expired contracts, or a renewal of an expired contract for fewer services or less area than it had previously utilized, our ability to enter into services contracts so
that new or other existing customers utilize the expired existing space in a timely manner will impact our results of operations. If such expired existing space is not utilized by new or other
existing customers in a timely manner, our service revenue and results of operations may be negatively impacted. Our quarterly churn rate, which we define as the ratio of quarterly service revenue
from contracts which terminated or expired without renewal during the quarter to the total quarterly service revenue for the preceding quarter, averaged 1.0%, 1.6% and 2.0% in 2015, 2016 and the nine
months ended September&nbsp;30, 2017, respectively. Between September&nbsp;30, 2017 and December&nbsp;31, 2017 and during full year 2018, data center service agreements with our customers with
respect to 3.5% and 7.2% of our total area committed as of September&nbsp;30, 2017 will become due for renewal, respectively. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have been expanding our customer base to cover a range of industry verticals, particularly Cloud service providers. Our ability to attract

service expectations may damage our reputation and could consequently limit our ability to retain existing customers and attract new customers, which would adversely affect our ability to generate

Our failure to comply with regulations applicable to our leased data centers may materially and adversely
affect our ability to use such data&nbsp;centers.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Among the data centers that we lease, including those under construction, a majority of the lease agreements have not been registered or filed
with relevant authorities in
accordance with the applicable PRC laws and regulations. The enforcement of this legal requirement varies depending on local practices. In case of failure to register or file&nbsp;a lease, the
parties to the unregistered lease may be ordered to make rectifications (which would involve registering such leases with the relevant authority) before being subject to penalties. The penalty ranges
from RMB1,000 to RMB10,000&nbsp;for each unregistered lease, at the discretion of the relevant authority. The law is not clear as to which of the parties, the lessor or the lessee, is liable for the
failure to register the lease, and the lease agreements of several of our data centers provide that the lessor is responsible for processing the registration and must compensate us for losses caused
by any breach of the obligation. Although we have proactively requested that the applicable lessors complete or cooperate with us to complete the registration in a timely manner, we are unable to
control whether and when such lessors will do so. In the event that a fine is imposed on both the lessor and lessee, and if we are unable to recover from the lessor any fine paid by us in accordance
with the terms of the lease agreement, such fine will be borne by us. In respect to one data center in Beijing, a portion of the property has been constructed without obtaining the building ownership
certificate, and the part of the lease in relation to such portion may be deemed invalid if the construction has not been duly approved by the government, in which event we would not be able to use
that portion of property. In respect of some data centers, the usage of leased properties for data center purposes may be deemed to be inconsistent with the designated usage as stated under the
building ownership certificates. If the owners fail to obtain the necessary consents and/or to comply with the applicable legal requirements for the change of usage of these premises, and the relevant
authority or the court orders us to use the relevant leased properties for the designated usage only, we may not be able to continue to use these properties for data center purposes and we may need
relocate our operation there to other suitable premises. We may also be subject to administrative penalties for lack of fire safety approvals for renovation of the leased premises, and we may be
ordered to suspend operations at applicable premises if we fail to timely cure any such defect. Construction or renovation of certain other of our data centers was carried out without obtaining
construction (including zoning) related permits, and certain leased premises were put into use without fulfillment of construction inspection and acceptance procedures, which may cause administrative
penalties to be imposed on us in the case of renovation, and may cause the use of the leased premises to be deemed illegal, and we may be forced to suspend our operations as a result. See also

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our managed cloud services involve providing services to the customers of cloud service providers. If we do not maintain good relationships with
cloud service providers, our business could be negatively affected. If these cloud service providers fail to perform as required under our agreements for any reason or suffer service level

Our data center infrastructure may become obsolete or unmarketable and we may not be able to upgrade our
power, cooling, security or connectivity systems cost-effectively or at&nbsp;all.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The markets for the data centers we own and operate, as well as certain of the industries in which our customers operate, are characterized by
rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, frequent new service introductions, shifting distribution channels and changing customer demands. As a result, the infrastructure at our data
centers may become obsolete or unmarketable due to demand for new processes and/or technologies, including, without limitation: (i)&nbsp;new processes to deliver power to, or eliminate heat from,
computer systems; (ii)&nbsp;customer demand for additional redundancy capacity; (iii)&nbsp;new technology that permits higher levels of critical load and heat removal than our data centers are
currently designed to provide; and (iv)&nbsp;an inability of the power supply to support new, updated or upgraded technology. In addition, the systems that connect our self-developed data centers,
and in particular, our third-party data centers, to the Internet and other external networks may become outdated, including with respect to latency, reliability and diversity of connectivity. When
customers demand new processes or technologies, we may not be able to upgrade our data centers on a cost-effective basis, or at all, due to, among other things, increased expenses to us that cannot be
passed on to customers or insufficient revenue to fund the necessary capital expenditures. The obsolescence of our power and cooling systems and/or our inability to upgrade our data centers, including
associated connectivity, could reduce revenue at our data centers and could have a material adverse effect on us. Furthermore, potential future regulations that apply to industries we serve may
require customers in those industries to seek specific requirements from their data centers that we are unable to provide. If such regulations were adopted, we could lose customers or be unable to
attract new customers in certain industries, which could have a material adverse effect on&nbsp;us. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our success depends in part upon our proprietary intellectual property rights, including certain methodologies, practices, tools and technical

and other intellectual property laws, non-disclosure agreements with our employees, customers and other relevant persons and other measures to protect our intellectual property, including our brand
identity. Nevertheless, it may be possible for third parties to obtain and use our intellectual property without authorization. The
unauthorized use of intellectual property is common in China and enforcement of intellectual property rights by PRC regulatory agencies is inconsistent. As a result, litigation may be necessary to
enforce our intellectual property rights. Litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of our management's attention and resources, and could disrupt our business, as well as have a
material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Given the relative unpredictability of China's legal system and potential difficulties in enforcing a court judgment in
China, there is no guarantee that we would be able to halt any unauthorized use of our intellectual property in China through litigation. </FONT></P>

register the figure trademark in China in certain additional categories. We have also registered the pure text of "GDS" as a trademark in several categories that cover our services areas, however, a
third party has also registered the pure text of "GDS" as a trademark in certain IT-related services. As the services for which the third-party trademark is registered are also IT-related and could be
construed as similar to ours in some respects, infringement claims may be asserted against us, and we cannot assure you that a government authority or a court will hold the view that such similarity
will not cause confusion in the market. In this case, if we use the pure text of GDS (which we have not registered as a trademark with respect to all services we provide) as our trademark, we may be
required to explore the possibility of acquiring this trademark, or entering into an exclusive licensing agreement with the third party, which will cause us to incur additional costs. In addition, we
may be unaware of intellectual property registrations or applications that purport to relate to our services, which could give rise to potential infringement claims against us. Parties making
infringement claims may be able to obtain an injunction to prevent us from delivering our services or using trademark or technology containing the allegedly intellectual property. If we become liable
to third parties for infringing upon their intellectual property rights, we could be required to pay a substantial damage award. We may also be subject to injunctions that require us to alter our
processes or methodologies so as not to infringe upon a third party's intellectual property, which may not be technically or commercially feasible and may cause us to expend significant resources. Any
claims or litigation in this area, whether we ultimately win or lose, could be time-consuming and costly, could cause the diversion of management's attention and resources away from the operations of

We may experience impairment of goodwill in connection with our acquisition of entities or
other&nbsp;assets.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are required to perform an annual goodwill impairment test. For example, in connection with acquiring EDC Holding in June&nbsp;2014, we
recorded a substantial amount of goodwill in our consolidated financial statements. As of September&nbsp;30, 2017, we carried RMB1,497.8&nbsp;million (US$225.1&nbsp;million) of goodwill on our
balance sheet. However, goodwill can become impaired. We test goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate possible impairment, but the fair value
estimates involved require a significant amount of difficult judgment and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from our projections, which may result in the need to recognize
impairment of some or all of the goodwill we&nbsp;recorded. </FONT></P>

We are subject to anti-corruption laws of China and Hong Kong as well as the U.S.&nbsp;Foreign Corrupt
Practices Act. Our failure to comply with these laws could result in penalties, which could harm our reputation and have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial
condition.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We operate our business in China and Hong Kong and are thus subject to PRC and Hong Kong laws and regulations related to anti-corruption, which
prohibit bribery to government agencies, state or government owned or controlled enterprises or entities, to government officials or officials that work for state or government owned enterprises or
entities, as well as bribery to non-government entities or individuals. We are also subject to the U.S.&nbsp;Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or the FCPA, which generally prohibits companies and any
individuals or entities acting on their behalf from offering or making improper payments or providing benefits to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or keeping business, along with various
other anti-corruption laws. Our existing policies prohibit any such conduct and we have implemented and conducted additional policies and procedures designed, and providing training, to ensure that
we, our employees, business partners and other third parties comply with PRC anti-corruption laws and regulations, the FCPA and other anti-corruption laws to which we are subject. There is, however,
no assurance that such policies or procedures will work effectively all the time or protect us against liability under the FCPA or other anti-corruption laws. There is no assurance that our employees,
business partners and other third parties would always obey our policies and procedures. Further, there is discretion and interpretation in connection with the implementation of PRC anti-corruption
laws. We could be held liable for actions taken by our employees, business partners and other third parties with respect to our business or any businesses that we may acquire. We operate in the data
center services industry in China and generally purchase our colocation facilities and telecommunications resources from state or government-owned enterprises and sell our services domestically to
customers that include state or government-owned enterprises or government ministries, departments and agencies. This puts us in frequent contact with persons who may be considered "foreign officials"
under the FCPA, resulting in an elevated risk of potential FCPA violations. If we are found not to be in compliance with PRC anti-corruption laws, the FCPA and other applicable anti-corruption laws
governing the conduct of business with government entities, officials or other business counterparties, we may be subject to criminal, administrative, and civil penalties and other remedial measures,
which could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Any investigation of any potential violations of the FCPA or other anti-corruption laws by
U.S.,Chinese or Hong Kong authorities or the authorities of any other foreign jurisdictions, could adversely impact our reputation, cause us to lose customer sales and access to colocation facilities
and telecommunications resources, and lead to other adverse impacts on our business, financial condition and results of&nbsp;operations. </FONT></P>

earthquakes, if a similar disaster were to occur in the future that affected Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Chengdu or another city where we have
data centers or are in the process of developing data centers, our operations could be materially and adversely affected due to loss of personnel and damages to property. In addition, a similar
disaster affecting a larger, more developed area could also cause an increase in our costs resulting from the efforts to resurvey the affected area. Even if we are not directly affected, such a
disaster could affect the operations or financial condition of our customers and suppliers, which could harm our results of&nbsp;operations. </FONT></P>

If we fail to maintain proper and effective internal controls, our ability to produce accurate financial
statements on a timely basis could be&nbsp;impaired.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are subject to the reporting requirements of the U.S.&nbsp;Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and the rules and regulations of Nasdaq. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and
procedures and internal controls over financial reporting. Commencing with our year ended December&nbsp;31, 2017, we must perform system and process evaluation and testing of our internal controls
over financial reporting to allow management to report on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting in our Form&nbsp;20-F filing for that year, as required by
Section&nbsp;404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. In addition, once we cease to be an "emerging growth company" as the term is defined in the JOBS Act, our independent registered public accounting firm
must attest to and report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Our management may conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective.
Moreover, even if our management concludes that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, our independent registered public accounting firm, after conducting its own independent
testing, may issue a report that is qualified if it is not satisfied with our internal controls or the level at which our controls are documented, designed, operated or reviewed, or if it interprets
the relevant requirements differently from us. This will require that we incur substantial additional professional fees and internal costs to expand our accounting and finance functions and that we
expend significant management
efforts. We may experience difficulty in meeting these reporting requirements in a timely manner. Also, we are in the process of enhancing our accounting personnel and other resources to address our
internal controls and procedures. Our management has not completed an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and our independent registered public accounting
firm has not conducted an audit of our internal control over financial reporting. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
addition, our internal control over financial reporting will not prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide
only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute
assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud will be&nbsp;detected. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
we are not able to comply with the requirements of Section&nbsp;404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in a timely manner, or if we are unable to maintain proper and effective internal
controls, we may not be able to produce timely and accurate financial statements. If that were to happen, the market price of our ADSs could decline and we could be subject to sanctions or
investigations by the SEC, Nasdaq, or other regulatory authorities. </FONT></P>

Compliance with rules and requirements applicable to public companies has caused us to incur increased costs,
which may negatively affect our results of&nbsp;operations.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As a public company, we have incurred significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. In addition,
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as rules subsequently implemented by the SEC and Nasdaq, have required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. These rules and regulations have
increased our legal, accounting and financial compliance costs and made certain corporate activities more time-consuming and costly. Complying with these rules and requirements may be especially
difficult and costly for us because we may have difficulty locating sufficient personnel in China with experience and expertise relating to U.S.&nbsp;GAAP and U.S.&nbsp;public company reporting
requirements, and such personnel may command higher salaries relative to what similarly experienced personnel would command in the United&nbsp;States. If we cannot employ sufficient personnel to
ensure compliance with these rules and regulations, we may need to rely more on outside legal, accounting and financial experts, which may be expensive. In addition, we have incurred additional costs
associated with our public company reporting
requirements. We continuously evaluate and monitor developments with respect to these rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of
such&nbsp;costs. </FONT></P>

If the PRC government deems that the contractual arrangements in relation to our consolidated variable
interest entities do not comply with PRC regulatory restrictions on foreign investment in the relevant industries, or if these regulations or the interpretation of existing regulations change in the

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The PRC government regulates telecommunications-related businesses through strict business licensing requirements and other government
regulations. These laws and regulations also include limitations on foreign ownership of PRC companies that engage in telecommunications-related businesses. Specifically, foreign investors are not
allowed to own more than a 50% equity interest in any PRC company engaging in value-added telecommunications businesses, with certain exceptions relating to e-commerce which does not apply to us. Any
such foreign investor must also have experience and a good track record in providing value-added telecommunications services overseas. </FONT></P>

We rely on contractual arrangements with our consolidated VIEs and their shareholders for our China
operations, which may not be as effective as direct ownership in providing operational control and otherwise have a material adverse effect as to our&nbsp;business.  </I></B></FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We rely on contractual arrangements with our consolidated VIEs and their shareholders to operate our business in China. For a description of
these contractual arrangements, see "Item&nbsp;4. Information on the Company&#151;C. Organizational Structure&#151;Contractual Arrangements with Our Affiliated Consolidated Entities"
of our annual report on Form&nbsp;20-F for the fiscal year ended December&nbsp;31, 2016. In 2015 and 2016, 4.3% and 80.1%, of our total net revenue, respectively, were attributed to our
consolidated VIEs. We expect this proportion to increase going forward as we shift the revenue-generating aspects of our business to our consolidated VIEs in connection with the restructuring
described in our annual report on Form&nbsp;20-F for the fiscal year ended December&nbsp;31, 2016. See "Item&nbsp;4. Information on the Company&#151;A. History and Development of the
Company" of our annual report on Form&nbsp;20-F for the fiscal year ended December&nbsp;31, 2016. These contractual arrangements may not be as effective as direct ownership in providing us with
control over our consolidated VIEs. If our consolidated VIEs or their shareholders fail to perform their respective obligations under these contractual arrangements, our recourse to the assets held by
our consolidated VIEs is indirect and we may have to incur substantial costs and expend significant resources to enforce such arrangements in reliance on legal remedies under PRC law. These remedies
may not always be effective, particularly in light of uncertainties in the PRC legal system. Furthermore, in connection with litigation, arbitration or other judicial or dispute resolution
proceedings, assets under the name of any of record holder of equity interest in our consolidated VIEs, including such equity interest, may be put under court custody. As a consequence, we cannot be
certain that the equity interest will be disposed pursuant to the contractual arrangement or ownership by the record holder of the equity interest. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In connection with our operations in China, we rely on the shareholders of our consolidated VIEs to abide by the obligations under such
contractual arrangements. In particular, Shanghai Shu'an Data Services&nbsp;Co.,&nbsp;Ltd., or GDS Shanghai, is 99.90% owned by William Wei Huang, our chairman and chief executive officer, and
0.10% owned by Qiuping Huang, and Beijing Wanguo Chang'an Science&nbsp;&amp; Technology&nbsp;Co.,&nbsp;Ltd., or GDS Beijing, is approximately 99.97% owned by William Wei Huang, and approximately
0.03% owned by Qiuping Huang. The interests of William Wei Huang and Qiuping Huang in their individual capacities as the shareholders of GDS Shanghai and GDS Beijing may differ from the interests of
our company as a whole, as what is in the best interests of GDS Shanghai and GDS Beijing, including matters such as whether to distribute dividends or to make other distributions to fund our offshore
requirement, may not be in the best interests of our company. There can be no assurance that when conflicts of interest arise, any or all of these individuals will act in the best interests of our
company or that conflicts of interest will be resolved in our favor. In addition, these individuals may breach or cause our consolidated VIEs and their subsidiaries to breach or refuse to renew the
existing contractual arrangements with&nbsp;us. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Currently,
we do not have arrangements to address potential conflicts of interest the shareholders of GDS Shanghai and GDS Beijing may encounter, on one hand, and as a beneficial owner
of our company, on the other hand; provided that we could, at all times, exercise our option under the exclusive call option agreements to cause them to transfer all of their equity ownership in GDS
Shanghai and GDS Beijing to a PRC entity or individual designated by us as permitted by the then applicable PRC laws. In addition, if such conflicts of interest arise, we could also, in the capacity
of attorney-in-fact of the then existing shareholders of GDS Shanghai and GDS Beijing as provided under the shareholder voting rights proxy agreements, directly appoint new directors of GDS Shanghai
and GDS Beijing. We rely on the shareholders of our consolidated VIEs to comply with PRC laws and regulations, which protect contracts and provide that directors and executive officers owe a duty of
loyalty to our company and require them to avoid conflicts of interest and not to take advantage of their positions for personal gains, and the laws of the Cayman Islands, which provide that directors
have a duty of care and a duty of loyalty to act honestly in good faith with a view to our best interests. However, the legal frameworks of China and Cayman Islands do not provide guidance on
resolving conflicts in the event of a conflict with another corporate governance regime. If we cannot resolve any conflicts of interest or disputes between us and the shareholders of our consolidated
VIEs, we would have to rely on legal proceedings, which could result in disruption of our business and subject us to substantial uncertainty as to the outcome of any such legal proceedings. </FONT></P>

order to maintain the physical security of our chops, we generally have them stored in secured locations accessible only to the designated key employees of our legal, administrative

designated legal representatives of our subsidiaries and consolidated VIEs, the procedures may not be sufficient to prevent all instances of abuse or negligence. There is a risk that our key employees
or designated legal representatives could abuse their authority, for example, by binding our subsidiaries and consolidated VIEs with contracts against our interests, as we would be obligated to honor
these contracts if the other contracting party acts in good faith in reliance on the apparent authority of our chops or signatures of our legal representatives. If any designated legal representative
obtains control of the chop in an effort to obtain control over the relevant entity, we would need to have a shareholder or board resolution to designate a new legal representative and to take legal
action to seek the return of the chop, apply for a new chop with the relevant authorities, or otherwise seek legal remedies for the legal representative's misconduct. If any of the designated legal
representatives obtains and misuses or misappropriates our chops and seals or other controlling intangible assets for whatever reason, we could experience disruption to our normal business operations.

Substantial uncertainties exist with respect to the enactment timetable, interpretation and implementation of
the draft PRC Foreign Investment Law, and its enactment may materially and adversely affect our business and financial condition.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The MOFCOM published a discussion draft of the proposed Foreign Investment Law in January&nbsp;2015 aiming to, upon its enactment, replace the
major existing laws and regulations governing foreign investment in China. While the MOFCOM solicited comments on this draft, substantial uncertainties exist with respect to the enactment timetable,
interpretation and implementation of the proposed legislation and the extent of revision to the currently proposed draft. The draft Foreign Investment Law, if enacted as proposed, may materially
impact the entire legal framework regulating foreign investments in&nbsp;China. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Among
other things, the draft Foreign Investment Law purports to introduce the principle of "actual control" in determining whether a company is considered a foreign invested enterprise,
or an FIE. The draft Foreign Investment Law specifically provides that entities established in China but "controlled" by foreign investors will be treated as FIEs, whereas an entity organized in a
foreign jurisdiction, but cleared by the MOFCOM as "controlled" by PRC entities and/or citizens, would nonetheless be treated as a PRC domestic entity for investment in the "restriction category" or
similar category that could appear on any such "negative list." In this connection, "control" is broadly defined in the draft law to cover any of the following summarized
categories:</FONT></P>

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Once
an entity is determined to be an FIE, and its investment amount exceeds certain thresholds or its business operation falls within a "negative list" purported to be separately issued
by the State Council in the future, market entry clearance by the MOFCOM or its local counterparts would be&nbsp;required. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
"variable interest entity" structure, or VIE structure, has been adopted by many PRC-based companies, including us, to obtain necessary licenses and permits in the industries that
are currently subject to foreign investment restrictions in China. Under the draft Foreign Investment Law, VIEs that are controlled via contractual arrangements would also be deemed as FIEs, if they
are ultimately "controlled" by foreign investors. For any companies with a VIE structure in an industry category that is in the "restriction category" or similar category that could appear on any such
"negative list," the existing VIE structure may be deemed legitimate only if the ultimate controlling person(s) is/are of PRC nationality (either PRC state owned enterprises or agencies, or PRC
citizens). Conversely, if the actual controlling person(s) is/are of foreign nationalities, then the VIEs will be treated as FIE, in which case, the existing VIE structures will likely to be
scrutinized and subject to foreign investment restrictions and approval from the MOFCOM and other supervising authorities such as MIIT. Any operation in the industry category on the "negative list"
without market entry clearance may be considered as&nbsp;illegal. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;However,
there are significant uncertainties as to how the control status of our company, our consolidated VIEs would be determined under the enacted version of the Foreign Investment
Law. In addition, it is uncertain whether any of the businesses that we currently operate or plan to operate in the future through our consolidated VIEs and the businesses operated by our equity
investees with a VIE structure would be on the to-be-issued "negative list" and therefore be subject to any foreign investment restrictions or prohibitions. We also face uncertainties as to whether
the enacted version of the Foreign Investment Law and the final "negative list" would mandate further actions, such as MOFCOM market entry clearance, to be completed by companies with existing VIE
structure and whether such clearance can be timely obtained, or at all. If we or our equity investees with a VIE structure were not considered as ultimately controlled by PRC domestic investors under
the enacted version of the Foreign Investment Law, further actions required to be taken by us or such equity investees under the enacted Foreign Investment Law may materially and adversely affect our
business and financial condition. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
addition, our corporate governance practice may be materially impacted and our compliance costs could increase if we were not considered as ultimately controlled by PRC domestic
investors under the Foreign Investment Law, if enacted as currently proposed. For instance, the draft Foreign Investment Law as proposed purports to impose stringent ad hoc and periodic information
reporting requirements on foreign investors and the applicable FIEs. Aside from investment implementation report and investment amendment report that would be required for each investment and
alteration of investment specifics, an annual report would be mandatory, and large foreign investors meeting certain criteria would be required to report on a quarterly basis. Any company found to be
non-compliant with these
information reporting obligations could potentially be subject to fines and/or administrative or criminal liabilities, and the persons directly responsible could be subject to criminal liabilities. </FONT></P>

effect on April&nbsp;10, 2009 and was amended on September&nbsp;1, 2017, set forth the types of licenses required to provide telecommunications services in China and the procedures and
requirements for obtaining such&nbsp;licenses. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Before
2013, the definition of the IDC services was subject to interpretation as to whether our services would fall within its scope. In addition, authorities in different localities had
different interpretations.
According to the Telecom Catalogue publicized in February&nbsp;2003 by the Ministry of Information Industry, or MII, the predecessor of the MIIT, which took effect in April&nbsp;2003, and our
consultations with the MIIT, IDC services should be rendered through the connection with the Internet or other public telecommunications networks. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
May&nbsp;6, 2013, the "Q&amp;A on the Application of IDC/ISP Business", the Q&amp;A, was published on the website of China Academy of Telecom Research, an affiliate of the MIIT. The Q&amp;A was
issued together with the draft revised Telecom Catalogue of the 2013 version, which although not an official law or regulation, reflected the evolving attitude of the MIIT towards the legal
requirements as to applications for IDC licenses. A national consulting body and certain telephone numbers, the Designated Numbers, are provided in the Q&amp;A to answer any questions arising from the
application of IDC licenses. Since then, even though the definition of IDC services under the Q&amp;A is identical to that under the Telecom Catalogue, whether a business model should be deemed to be IDC
services is subject to the unified clarifications under the Q&amp;A and replies obtained from such Designated Numbers, rather than different replies which may be obtained from different officials from
MIIT or its local branches. The draft revised Telecom Catalogue did not come into effect until March&nbsp;2016, when it was further revised to adapt to developments in the telecommunications
industry. During such period, we closely followed legislative developments and conducted feasibility studies for restructuring our business. Based on the Q&amp;A and our consultation with both the
Designated Numbers and MIIT officials in 2014 and 2015, IDC services which did not utilize public telecommunication networks would also require an IDC license and that IDC services could only be
provided by a holder of an IDC license, or a subsidiary of such holder, with the authorization of the&nbsp;holder. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;GDS
Beijing obtained a cross-regional IDC license in November&nbsp;2013, the scope of which now includes Shanghai, Suzhou, Beijing, Shenzhen, Chengdu and Guangzhou. In order to adapt
to the new regulatory requirements and address pre-existing customer contracts, we converted Global Data Solutions&nbsp;Co.,&nbsp;Ltd., or GDS Suzhou, into a domestic company wholly owned by GDS
Beijing by acquiring all of the equity interests in GDS Suzhou from Further Success Limited, or FSL, a limited liability company established in the British Virgin Islands, in order to enable GDS
Suzhou to provide IDC services with the authorization of GDS Beijing, and under the auspices of an IDC license held by GDS Beijing. MIIT has approved GDS Beijing's application to expand its IDC
license coverage to include GDS Suzhou and Kunshan Wanyu Data Service&nbsp;Co.,&nbsp;Ltd., or Kunshan Wanyu, so that they are now authorized to provide IDC services. See "Item&nbsp;4.

there can be no assurance that our contracts signed before the completion of the VIE restructuring with any of our WFOEs as the service provider will not be deemed as historical
non-compliance. If the MIIT regards us as existing in a state of non-compliance, penalties could potentially be assessed against us. It is possible that the amount of any such penalties may be several
times more than the net revenue generated from these services. Our business, financial condition, expected growth and prospects would be materially and adversely affected if such penalties were to be
assessed upon us. It is also possible that the PRC government may prohibit a non-compliant entity from continuing to carry on its business, which would materially and adversely affect our results of

Some of our consolidated VIEs may be regarded as being non-compliant with the regulations on VATS, due to
operating beyond the permitted scope of their IDC licenses.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;One of our consolidated VIEs, GDS Shanghai, obtained a regional IDC license for the Shanghai area in January 2012. Nevertheless, GDS Shanghai
provided IDC services in cities outside of Shanghai, which were beyond the scope of its then-effective IDC license. GDS Shanghai upgraded its IDC license to a cross-regional license in April 2016,
according to which GDS Shanghai is allowed to provide IDC services in Beijing, Shanghai, Suzhou, Shenzhen and Chengdu. Another one of our consolidated VIEs, GDS Suzhou, is authorized to provide
general IDC services under the auspices of an IDC license held by GDS Beijing but such authorization approved by MIIT does not include internet resources collaboration services. However, GDS Suzhou
has signed contracts with clients to provide internet resources collaboration services, and we are in the process of applying to further expand GDS Beijing's authorization to GDS Suzhou so that GDS
Suzhou also is allowed to provide internet resources collaboration services. In addition, in 2016 and 2017, GDS Beijing and GDS Suzhou entered into an IDC service agreement with relevant customers
respectively, according to which GDS Beijing and GDS Suzhou have been providing IDC services to their respective customers through third-party data centers in Tianjin. As GDS Beijing's IDC license and
its authorization granted to GDS Suzhou do not include the Tianjin area, GDS Beijing and GDS Suzhou may be regarded as being non-compliant with the regulations on VATS due to operating beyond the
permitted geographic scope of their IDC licenses. GDS Beijing intends to apply to expand its IDC license to cover the Tianjin area. Once GDS Beijing has upgraded its IDC license to cover a broader
geographic scope, we will then apply to further expand GDS Beijing's authorization to GDS Suzhou so that GDS Suzhou also will be allowed to provide IDC services in Tianjin. We cannot assure you that
GDS Beijing and GDS Suzhou will be able to obtain approvals from the MIIT for the foregoing expanded permitted geographic scope and authorizations, and even if such approvals are obtained, any
agreements signed before GDS Beijing and GDS Suzhou obtained such approvals could be deemed as historical non-compliance. If the MIIT regards GDS Shanghai, GDS Suzhou and GDS Beijing as being
historically non-compliant, penalties which could be several times more than the net revenue generated from these services, could potentially be assessed against us, and as a result, our business,
financial condition, expected growth
and prospects would be materially and adversely affected. It is also possible that the PRC government may prohibit a </FONT></P>

China, which may be regarded as non-compliance with the regulations on foreign investment restriction and value added telecommunications services, by providing IDC service without qualification.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In 2015 and 2016, GDS (HK) Limited, or GDS HK, which is one of our Hong Kong&#151;incorporated subsidiaries, entered into IDC service
agreements with a few customers outside China, while the actual service provider was intended to be GDS Beijing or EDC Shanghai Waigaoqiao. These IDC service agreements may be regarded as

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
are in the process of amending the IDC service agreements so that GDS Beijing or its subsidiary is the contracted service provider. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, we
have amended most of such IDC service agreements. However, we cannot assure you that our agreements as they were in effect prior to such amendment will not be found to have been non-compliant. If the

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our existing licenses or permits necessary to provide our current IDC services in the
PRC, renew any of them when their current term expires, or update existing licenses or obtain additional licenses necessary for our future business expansion. The failure to obtain, retain, renew or
update any license or permit generally, and
our IDC licenses in particular, could materially and adversely disrupt our business and future expansion plans. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For
example, the revised Telecom Catalogue came into effect in March&nbsp;2016 in which the definition of the IDC business also covers the internet resources collaboration services
business to reflect the developments in the telecommunications industry in China and covers cloud-based services. Also, in January&nbsp;2017, the MIIT issued </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Circular of the
Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on Clearing up and Regulating the Internet Access Service Market</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, or the 2017 MIIT Circular, according to which an enterprise
that obtained its IDC license prior to the implementation of the revised Telecom Catalogue and has actually carried out internet resources collaboration services shall make a written commitment to its
original license issuing authority before March&nbsp;31, 2017 to meet the relevant requirements for business licensing and obtain the corresponding telecommunication business license by the end of
2017. The 2017 MIIT Circular also requires that companies providing IDC services shall not construct communication transmission facilities without permission. Although we have successfully expanded
the scope of our IDC licenses to cover internet resources collaboration services, fixed network domestic data transmission services and domestic internet virtual private network services as required
under the 2017 MIIT Circular, changes in the regulatory environment of this kind can be disruptive to our business as they may require us to modify the way we conduct our business in order to receive
licenses or otherwise comply with such requirements. We may also be deemed in non-compliance for failure to update our operation licenses in a timely manner according to such new regulatory
requirements. Any such changes could increase our compliance costs, divert management's attention or interfere with our ability to serve customers, any of which could harm our results of operations
and lower the price of our&nbsp;ADSs. </FONT></P>

Changes in the political and economic policies of the PRC government may materially and adversely affect our
business, financial condition and results of operations and may result in our inability to sustain our growth and expansion strategies.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Substantially all of our operations are conducted in the PRC and a substantial majority of our net revenue is sourced from the PRC. Accordingly,
our financial condition and results of operations are affected to a significant extent by economic, political and legal developments in the&nbsp;PRC. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
PRC economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including the extent of government involvement, level of development, growth rate, and control of
foreign exchange and allocation of resources. Although the PRC government has implemented measures emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reform, the reduction of state ownership of
productive assets, and the establishment of improved corporate governance in business enterprises, a substantial portion of productive assets in China is still owned by the government. In addition,
the PRC government continues to play a significant role in regulating industry development by imposing industrial policies. The PRC government also exercises significant control over China's economic
growth by allocating resources, controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy, regulating financial services and institutions and providing preferential
treatment to particular industries or&nbsp;companies. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;While
the PRC economy has experienced significant growth in the past three decades, growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy. The PRC
government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures may benefit the overall PRC economy, but may also have a negative
effect on us. Our financial condition and results of operation could be materially and adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations that are
applicable to us. In addition, the PRC government has implemented in the past certain measures to control the pace of economic growth. These measures may cause decreased economic activity, which in
turn could lead to a reduction in demand for our services and consequently have a material adverse effect on our businesses, financial condition and results of&nbsp;operations. </FONT></P>

There are uncertainties regarding the interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws, rules and regulations.  </I></B></FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Substantially all of our operations are conducted in the PRC, and are governed by PRC laws, rules and regulations. Our PRC subsidiaries and
consolidated VIEs are subject to laws, rules and regulations applicable to foreign investment in China. The PRC legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes. Unlike the common law
system, prior court decisions may be cited for reference but have limited precedential value. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
1979, the PRC government began to promulgate a comprehensive system of laws, rules and regulations governing economic matters in general. The overall effect of legislation over the
past three decades has significantly enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investment in China. However, China has not developed a fully integrated legal system, and recently
enacted laws, rules and regulations may not sufficiently cover all aspects of economic activities in China or may be subject to significant degrees of interpretation by PRC regulatory agencies. In
particular, because these laws, rules and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited number of published decisions
and the nonbinding nature of such decisions, and because the laws, rules and regulations often give the relevant regulator significant discretion in how to enforce them, the interpretation and
enforcement of these laws, rules and regulations involve uncertainties and can be inconsistent and unpredictable. In addition, the PRC legal system is based in part on government policies and internal
rules, some of which are not published on a timely basis or at all, and which may have a retroactive effect. As a result, we may not be aware of our violation of these policies and rules until after
the occurrence of the&nbsp;violation. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any
administrative and court proceedings in China may be protracted, resulting in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. Since PRC administrative and
court authorities have significant discretion in interpreting and implementing statutory and contractual terms, it may be more difficult to evaluate the outcome of administrative and court proceedings
and the level of legal protection we enjoy than in more developed legal systems. These uncertainties may impede our ability to enforce the contracts we have entered into and could materially and
adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of&nbsp;operations. </FONT></P>

and thus adversely and materially affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, there can be no assurance that the relevant government agencies will not
change such laws or regulations or impose additional or more stringent laws or regulations. For example, see "Item&nbsp;4. Information on the Company&#151;B. Business
Overview&#151;Regulatory Matters&#151;Regulations Related to Information Technology Outsourcing Services Provided to Banking Financial Institutions" of our annual report on
Form&nbsp;20-F for the fiscal year ended December&nbsp;31, 2016 for information regarding regulations of banking and financial institutions that outsource their data center services to us, and

Compliance with such laws or regulations may require us to incur material capital expenditures or other obligations or&nbsp;liabilities. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Additionally,
the Cyber Security Law came into effect on June&nbsp;1, 2017, which provides certain rules and requirements applicable to network service providers in China. The Cyber
Security Law requires network operators to perform certain functions related to cyber security protection and the strengthening of network information management through taking technical and other
necessary measures as required by laws and regulations to safeguard the operation of networks, responding to network security effectively, preventing illegal and criminal activities, and maintaining
the integrity and confidentiality and usability of network data. In addition, the Cyber Security Law imposes certain requirements on network operators of key information infrastructure, for example,
network operators of key information infrastructure generally shall, during their operations in the PRC, store the personal information and important data collected and produced within the territory
of PRC, and shall perform certain security obligations as required under the Cyber Security Law. However, the Cyber Security Law still leaves a series of gaps to be filled due to the complex and
sensitive nature of this regulatory area. While the Cyber Security law sets out a broad set of principles, certain key terms and clauses are uncertain and ambiguous, which appear intended to be
clarified through a series of implementing regulations and guidelines to be issued by relevant authorities. For example, implementing regulations dealing with "personal information protection",
"security assessment of cross-border transfer of personal information and important data" and "protection of critical information infrastructure (CII)" are being formulated. Currently, the Cyber
Security Law has not directly impacted our operations, but in light of rapid advances in its implementation, we believe the implementation of the Cyber Security Law involves potential risks to our
business because we may be deemed as the network operator of key information infrastructure thereunder. We plan to further strengthen our information management and the operational security of our
data center infrastructure. However, we cannot assure you that the measures we have taken or will take are adequate under the Cyber Security Law. If further changes in our business practices are
required under China's evolving regulatory framework for the protection of information in cyberspace, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected. </FONT></P>

Administration for Industry and Commerce, or the SAIC, the CSRC, and the SAFE, jointly adopted the Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors, or the
M&amp;A Rules, which came into effect on September&nbsp;8, 2006 and were amended on June&nbsp;22, 2009. The M&amp;A Rules include, among other things, provisions that purport to require that an offshore
special purpose vehicle formed for the purpose of an overseas listing of securities in a PRC company obtain the approval of the CSRC prior to the listing and trading of such special purpose vehicle's

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;While
the application of the M&amp;A Rules remains unclear, we believe, based on the advice of our PRC counsel, King&nbsp;&amp; Wood Mallesons, that the CSRC approval was not required in the
context of our initial public offering or this offering because we had not acquired any equity interests or assets of a PRC company owned by its controlling shareholders or beneficial owners who are
PRC companies or individuals, as such terms are defined under the M&amp;A Rules. There can be no assurance that the relevant PRC government agencies, including the CSRC, would reach the same conclusion as
our PRC counsel. If the CSRC or another PRC regulatory body subsequently determines that its approval was needed for our initial public offering or this offering or such approval is needed for any

enterprise, or
that the approval from the MOFCOM be obtained in circumstances where overseas companies established or controlled by PRC enterprises or residents acquire affiliated domestic companies. We may grow our
business in part by acquiring other companies operating in our industry. Complying with the requirements of the new regulations to complete such transactions could be time-consuming, and any required

respect to the special purpose vehicle, such as increase or decrease of capital contributed by PRC individuals, share transfer or exchange, merger, division or other material event. In the event that
a PRC shareholder holding interests in a special purpose vehicle fails to fulfill the required SAFE registration, the PRC subsidiaries of that special purpose vehicle may be prohibited from making

The enforcement of the Labor Contract Law of the People's Republic of China, or the PRC Labor Contract Law,
and other labor-related regulations in the PRC may increase our labor costs, impose limitations on our labor practices and adversely affect our business and our results of&nbsp;operations.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On June&nbsp;29, 2007, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress of China enacted the </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>PRC Labor
Contract Law</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, which became effective on January&nbsp;1, 2008 and was amended on December&nbsp;28, 2012. The PRC Labor Contract Law introduces specific provisions related to
fixed-term employment contracts, part-time employment, probation, consultation with labor unions and employee assemblies, employment without a written contract, dismissal of employees, severance, and
collective bargaining, which together represent enhanced enforcement of labor laws and regulations. According to the PRC Labor Contract Law, an employer is obliged to sign an unfixed-term labor
contract with any employee who has worked for the employer for 10&nbsp;consecutive years. Further, if an employee requests or agrees to renew a fixed-term labor contract that has already been
entered into twice consecutively, the resulting contract must have an unfixed term, with certain exceptions. The employer must pay economic compensation to an employee where a labor contract is
terminated or expires in accordance with the PRC Labor Contract Law, except for certain situations which are specifically regulated. In addition, the government has issued various labor-related
regulations to further protect the rights of employees. According to such laws and regulations, employees are entitled to annual leave ranging from five to 15&nbsp;days and are able to be
compensated for any untaken annual leave days in the amount of three times their daily salary, subject to certain exceptions. In the event that we decide to change our employment or labor practices,
the PRC Labor Contract Law and its implementation rules may also limit our ability to effect those changes in a manner that we believe to be cost-effective. In addition, as the interpretation and
implementation of these new regulations are still evolving, our employment practices may not be at all times deemed in compliance with the new regulations. If we are subject to severe penalties or
incur significant liabilities in connection with labor disputes or investigations, our business and financial conditions may be adversely affected. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> and its implementing rules, enterprises established
under the laws of jurisdictions outside of China with "de facto management bodies" located in China may be considered PRC tax resident enterprises for tax purposes and may be subject to the PRC
enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on their global income. "De facto management body" refers to a managing body that exercises substantive and overall management and control over the production
and business, personnel, accounting books and assets of an enterprise. The State Administration of Taxation issued the </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Notice Regarding the Determination of Chinese-Controlled
Offshore-Incorporated Enterprises as PRC Tax Resident Enterprises on the Basis of De Facto Management Bodies</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, or Circular&nbsp;82, on April&nbsp;22, 2009.
Circular&nbsp;82 provides certain specific criteria for determining whether the "de facto management body" of a Chinese-controlled offshore-incorporated enterprise is located in China. Although
Circular&nbsp;82 only applies to offshore enterprises controlled by PRC enterprises, not those controlled by foreign enterprises or individuals, the determining criteria set forth in
Circular&nbsp;82 may reflect the State Administration of Taxation's general position on how the "de facto management body" test should be applied in determining the tax resident status of offshore
enterprises, regardless of whether they are controlled by PRC enterprises. If we were to be considered a PRC resident enterprise, we would be subject to PRC enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on
our global income. In such case, our profitability and cash flow may be materially reduced as a result of our global income being taxed under the Enterprise Income Tax Law. We believe that none of our
entities outside of China is a PRC resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes. However, the tax resident status of an enterprise is subject to determination by the PRC tax authorities and uncertainties
remain with respect to the interpretation of the term "de facto management body." </FONT></P>

such establishment or place of business but the dividends are not effectively connected with such establishment or place of business, to the extent such dividends are derived from sources within the

set forth in applicable tax treaties or under applicable tax arrangements between jurisdictions, if such gain is regarded as income derived from sources within the PRC. If we are deemed a PRC resident
enterprise, dividends paid on our Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares or ADSs, and any gain realized from the transfer of our Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares or ADSs, would be treated as income derived from
sources within the PRC and would as a result be subject to PRC taxation. Furthermore, if we are deemed a PRC resident enterprise, dividends payable to individual investors who are non-PRC residents
and any gain realized on the transfer of ADSs or Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares by such investors may be subject to PRC tax at a current rate of 20%, subject to any reduction or exemption set forth in

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>by
the State Administration of Taxation, on December&nbsp;10, 2009. Pursuant to Bulletin 7, an "indirect transfer" of assets, including equity interests in a PRC resident enterprise, by non-PRC
resident enterprises may be recharacterized and treated as a direct transfer of PRC taxable assets, if such arrangement does not have a reasonable commercial purpose and was established for the
purpose of avoiding payment of PRC enterprise income tax. As a result, gains derived from such indirect transfer may be subject to PRC enterprise income tax. According to Bulletin 7, "PRC taxable
assets" include assets attributed to an establishment in China, immoveable properties located in China, and equity investments in PRC resident enterprises, in respect of which gains from their
transfer by a direct holder, being a non-PRC resident enterprise, would be subject to PRC enterprise income taxes. When determining whether there is a "reasonable commercial purpose" of the
transaction arrangement, features to be taken into consideration include: whether the main value of the equity interest of the relevant offshore enterprise derives from PRC taxable assets; whether the
assets of the relevant offshore enterprise mainly consists of direct or indirect investment in China or if its income mainly derives from China; whether the offshore enterprise and its subsidiaries
directly or indirectly holding PRC taxable assets have real commercial nature which is evidenced by their actual function and risk exposure; the duration of existence of the business model and
organizational structure; the replicability of the transaction by direct transfer of PRC taxable assets; and the tax situation of such indirect transfer and applicable tax treaties or similar
arrangements. In respect of an indirect offshore transfer of assets of a PRC establishment, the resulting gain is to be included with the enterprise income tax filing of the PRC establishment or place
of business being transferred, and would consequently be subject to PRC enterprise income tax at a rate of 25%. Where the underlying transfer relates to the immoveable properties located in China or
to equity investments in a PRC resident enterprise, which is not related to a PRC establishment or place of business of a non-resident enterprise, a PRC enterprise income tax of 10% would apply,
subject to available preferential tax treatment under applicable tax treaties or similar arrangements, and the party who is obligated to make the transfer payments has the withholding obligation.
Where the payor fails to withhold any or sufficient tax, the transferor shall declare and pay such tax to the tax authority by itself within the statutory time limit. Late payment of applicable tax
will subject the transferor to default interest. Bulletin 7&nbsp;does not apply to transactions of sale of shares by investors through a public stock exchange where such shares were acquired from a
transaction through a public stock&nbsp;exchange. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
October&nbsp;17, 2017, the State Administration of Taxation issued the Announcement on Issues Relating to Withholding at Source of Income Tax of Non-resident Enterprises, or SAT
Circular&nbsp;37. SAT Circular&nbsp;37 supersedes Circular&nbsp;698 in its entirety, and amends certain provisions in Bulletin 7, but does not touch upon other provisions of Bulletin 7, which
remain in full force. SAT Circular&nbsp;37 purports to clarify certain issues in the implementation of the above regime, by providing, among others, the definitions of equity transfer income and tax
basis, the foreign exchange rate to be used in the calculation of withholding amounts and the date of occurrence of the withholding obligation. Specially, SAT Circular&nbsp;37 provides that where
the transfer income subject to withholding at its source is derived by a non-PRC resident enterprise by way of instalments, the instalments may first be treated as recovery of costs of previous
investments; upon recovery of all costs, the tax amount to be withheld shall then be computed and&nbsp;withheld. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There
is uncertainty as to the application of Bulletin 7 and SAT Circular&nbsp;37. Bulletin 7 and SAT Circular&nbsp;37 may be determined by the tax authorities to be applicable to
our historical or future offshore restructuring transactions or sale of our shares or ADSs or those of our offshore subsidiaries with non-resident enterprises being the transferors. We may be subject
to filing obligations or taxed as the transferor, or subject to withholding obligations as the transferee, in such transactions. For transfer of our shares or ADSs by investors that are non-PRC
resident enterprises, our PRC subsidiaries may be requested to assist with filings under Bulletin 7 and SAT Circular&nbsp;37. For example, in the past, we acquired EDC Holding by issuing shares of
GDS Holdings Limited, or GDS Holdings, to its shareholders in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of EDC Holding that were not held by us </FONT></P>

Restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to utilize our net revenue effectively.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Substantially all of our net revenue is denominated in Renminbi. The Renminbi is currently convertible under the "current account," which
includes dividends, trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, but not under the "capital account," which includes foreign direct
investment and loans, including loans we may secure from our onshore subsidiaries or consolidated VIEs. Currently, certain of our PRC subsidiaries, may purchase foreign currency for settlement of
"current account transactions," including payment of dividends to us, without the approval of SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, the relevant PRC governmental authorities
may limit or eliminate our ability to purchase foreign currencies in the future for current account transactions. Foreign exchange transactions under the capital account remain subject to limitations
and require approvals from, or registration with, SAFE and other relevant PRC governmental authorities. Since a significant amount of our future net revenue will be denominated in Renminbi, any
existing and future restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to utilize net revenue generated in Renminbi to fund our business activities outside of the PRC or pay dividends in foreign
currencies to our shareholders, including holders of our ADSs, and may limit our ability to obtain foreign currency through debt or equity financing for our subsidiaries and consolidated&nbsp;VIEs. </FONT></P>

Fluctuations in exchange rates could result in foreign currency exchange losses and could materially reduce
the value of your investment.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The value of the Renminbi against the U.S.&nbsp;dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in
political and economic conditions and the foreign exchange policy adopted by the PRC government. On July&nbsp;21, 2005, the PRC government changed its policy of pegging the value of the Renminbi to
the U.S.&nbsp;dollar. Following the removal of the U.S.&nbsp;dollar peg, the Renminbi appreciated more than 20% against the U.S.&nbsp;dollar over the following three years. Between
July&nbsp;2008 and June&nbsp;2010, this appreciation halted and the exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S.&nbsp;dollar remained within a narrow band. Since June&nbsp;2010, the RMB has
started to appreciate slowly against the U.S.&nbsp;dollar, though there have been periods when the U.S.&nbsp;dollar has appreciated against the RMB. On August&nbsp;11, 2015, the People's Bank of
China, or the PBOC, allowed the RMB to depreciate by approximately 2% against the U.S.&nbsp;dollar. Since then and until the end of 2016, the RMB has depreciated against the U.S.&nbsp;dollar by
approximately 10%. It is difficult to predict how long such depreciation of RMB against the U.S.&nbsp;dollar may last and when and how the relationship between the RMB and the U.S.&nbsp;dollar may
change&nbsp;again. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Substantially
all of our net revenue and costs are denominated in Renminbi. We are a holding company and we rely on dividends paid by our operating subsidiaries in China for our cash
needs. Any significant revaluation of the Renminbi may materially reduce any dividends payable on, our ADSs in U.S.&nbsp;dollars. To the extent that we need to convert U.S.&nbsp;dollars we
received from our initial public offering into Renminbi for our operations, appreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S.&nbsp;dollar would have an adverse effect on the Renminbi amount we would
receive. Conversely, if we decide to convert our Renminbi into U.S.&nbsp;dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our Class&nbsp;A </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our independent registered public accounting firm that issues the audit report incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement filed
with the SEC, as auditors of companies that are traded publicly in the United&nbsp;States and a firm registered with the U.S.&nbsp;Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or the PCAOB, is
required by the laws of the United&nbsp;States to undergo regular inspections by the PCAOB to assess its compliance with the laws of the United&nbsp;States and professional standards. Because our
auditors are located in the Peoples' Republic of China, a jurisdiction where the PCAOB is currently unable to conduct inspections without the approval of the Chinese authorities, our auditors are not
currently inspected by the&nbsp;PCAOB. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Inspections
of other firms that the PCAOB has conducted outside China have identified deficiencies in those firms' audit procedures and quality control procedures, which may be addressed
as part of the inspection process to improve future audit quality. This lack of PCAOB inspections in China prevents the PCAOB from regularly evaluating our auditor's audits and its quality control
procedures. As a result, investors may be deprived of the benefits of PCAOB inspections. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
inability of the PCAOB to conduct inspections of auditors in China makes it more difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of our auditor's audit procedures or quality control

If additional remedial measures are imposed on the "big four" PRC-based accounting firms, including our
independent registered public accounting firm, in administrative proceedings brought by the SEC alleging such firms' failure to meet specific criteria set by the SEC with respect to requests for the
production of documents, we could be unable to timely file future financial statements in compliance with the requirements of the Exchange&nbsp;Act.  </I></B></FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Starting in 2011 the Chinese affiliates of the "big four" accounting firms, including our independent registered public accounting firm, were
affected by a conflict between U.S. and Chinese law. Specifically, for certain U.S.&nbsp;listed companies operating and audited in mainland China, the SEC and the PCAOB sought to obtain from the
Chinese accounting firms access to their audit work papers and related documents. The firms were, however, advised and directed that under Chinese law they could not respond directly to the
U.S.&nbsp;regulators on those requests, and that requests by foreign regulators for access to such papers in China had to be channeled through the&nbsp;CSRC. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
late 2012 this impasse led the SEC to commence administrative proceedings under Rule&nbsp;102(e) of its Rules of Practice and also under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act against the Chinese
accounting firms, including our independent registered public accounting firm. In January&nbsp;2014, the administrative law judge reached an initial decision to impose penalties on the firms
including a temporary suspension of their right to practice before the SEC. The accounting firms filed a petition for review of the initial decision. On February&nbsp;6, 2015, before a review by the
commissioners of the SEC had taken place, the firms reached a settlement with the SEC. Under the settlement, the SEC accepts that future requests by the SEC for the production of documents will
normally be made to the CSRC. The firms will receive matching Section&nbsp;106 requests, and&nbsp;are required to abide by a detailed set of procedures with respect to such requests, which in
substance require them to facilitate production via the CSRC. If they fail to meet specified criteria, the SEC retains authority to impose a variety of additional remedial measures on the firms
depending on the nature of the failure. Remedies for any future noncompliance </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The trading prices of our ADSs have been, and are likely to continue to be, volatile and could fluctuate widely due to factors beyond our
control. This may happen because of broad market and industry factors, like the performance and fluctuation in the market prices or the underperformance or deteriorating financial results of other
listed companies based in China. The securities of some of these companies have experienced significant volatility since their initial public offerings, including, in some cases, substantial price
declines in the trading prices of their securities. The trading performances of other Chinese companies' securities after their offerings, including Internet and e-commerce companies, may affect the
attitudes of investors toward Chinese companies listed in the United&nbsp;States, which consequently may impact the trading performance of our ADSs, regardless of our actual operating performance.
In addition, any negative news or perceptions about inadequate corporate governance practices or fraudulent accounting, corporate structure or matters of other Chinese companies may also negatively
affect the attitudes of investors towards Chinese companies in general, including us, regardless of whether we have conducted any inappropriate activities. In addition, securities markets may from
time to time experience significant price and volume fluctuations that are not related to our operating performance, such as the large decline in share prices in the United&nbsp;States, China and
other jurisdictions in late 2008, early 2009, the second half of 2011 and in 2015, which may have a material and adverse effect on the trading price of our&nbsp;ADSs. </FONT></P>

Techniques employed by short sellers may drive down the market price of our&nbsp;ADSs.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Short selling is the practice of selling securities that the seller does not own but rather has borrowed from a third party with the intention
of buying identical securities back at a later date to return to the lender. The short seller hopes to profit from a decline in the value of the securities between the sale of the borrowed securities
and the purchase of the replacement shares, as the short seller expects to pay less in that purchase than it received in the sale. As it is in the short seller's best interests for the price of the
stock to decline, many short sellers publish, or arrange for the publication of, negative opinions regarding the relevant issuer and its business prospects in order to create negative market momentum
and generate profits for themselves after selling a stock short. These short attacks have, in the past, led to selling of shares in the&nbsp;market. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Public
companies that have substantially all of their operations in China have been the subject of short selling. Much of the scrutiny and negative publicity has centered on allegations
of a lack of effective internal control over financial reporting resulting in financial and accounting irregularities and mistakes, inadequate corporate governance policies or a lack of adherence
thereto and, in many cases, allegations of fraud. As a result, many of these companies are now conducting internal and external investigations into the allegations and, in the interim, are subject to
shareholder lawsuits and/or SEC enforcement actions. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It
is not clear what effect such negative publicity could have on us. If we were to become the subject of any unfavorable allegations, whether such allegations are proven to be true or
untrue, we could have to expend a significant amount of resources to investigate such allegations and/or defend ourselves. While we would strongly defend against any such short seller attacks, we may
be constrained in the manner in which it can proceed against the relevant short seller by principles of freedom of speech, applicable state law or issues of commercial confidentiality. Such a
situation could be costly and time-consuming, and could distract our management from growing our business. Even if such allegations are ultimately proven to be groundless, allegations against us could
severely impact its business operations and stockholders equity, and any investment in our ADSs could be greatly reduced or rendered worthless. </FONT></P>

that STT GDC has indicated an interest to purchase) after this offering will be restricted as a result of lock-up agreements described elsewhere in this prospectus supplement but will become eligible
to be sold at various times beginning 90&nbsp;days after this offering. An additional 64,257,028&nbsp;Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares are restricted as a result of a market stand-off agreement

this prospectus, subject to volume and other restrictions as applicable under Rules&nbsp;144 and&nbsp;701 under the Securities Act. Any or all of these ordinary shares may be released prior to the
expiration of the applicable lock-up period or market stand-off period at the discretion of the RBC Capital Markets,&nbsp;LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities&nbsp;LLC and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., or
our board of directors, respectively. To the extent shares are released before the expiration of the applicable lock-up period and sold into the market, the market price of our ADSs could decline

major holders of our Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares have the right to cause us to register under the Securities Act the sale of their shares, subject to the applicable lock-up
periods in connection with our initial public offering. Registration of these shares under the Securities Act would result in ADSs representing these shares becoming freely tradable without
restriction under the Securities Act immediately upon the effectiveness of the registration. Sales of these registered shares in the form of ADSs in the public market could cause the price of our ADSs
to decline significantly. </FONT></P>

have adopted share incentive plans, under which we have the discretion to grant a broad range of equity-based awards to eligible participants. See "Management&#151;Share
Incentive Plans.". We intend to register all ordinary shares that we may issue under these share incentive plans. Once we register these ordinary shares, they can be freely sold in the public market
in the form of ADSs upon issuance, subject to volume limitations applicable to affiliates and the lock-up agreements described in the "Underwriting" section of this prospectus supplement. If a large
number of our ordinary shares or securities convertible into our ordinary shares are sold in the public market in the form of ADSs after they become eligible for sale, the sales could reduce the
trading price of our ADSs and impede our ability to raise future capital. In addition, any ordinary shares that we issue under our share incentive plans would dilute the percentage ownership held by
the investors who purchase ADSs in this&nbsp;offering. </FONT></P>

GDC, one of our major shareholders which is affiliated with, and has the right to appoint, certain of our directors, has indicated an interest in purchasing up to
an aggregate of approximately 2,927,520 ADSs in this offering at the public offering price. However, because indications of interest are not binding agreements or commitments to purchase, the
underwriters could determine to sell more, less or no shares to STT GDC and STT GDC could determine to purchase more, less or no ADSs in this offering. The underwriters will receive the same
underwriting discounts and commissions on any ADSs purchased by STT GDC as they will on any other ADSs sold to the public in this offering. If STT GDC was to purchase all of these ADSs, it, together
with our executive officers, directors and other owners of 5% or more of our outstanding Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares and their respective affiliates would own, in the aggregate, approximately 65.6%
of our outstanding ordinary shares after this offering, based on the number of ordinary outstanding as of December&nbsp;31,&nbsp;2017. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
STT GDC is allocated all or a portion of the ADSs for which it has indicated an interest in purchasing in this offering and has in fact purchased such ADSs, such purchases would
reduce the available public float for our Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares because STT GDC would be restricted from selling the ADSs that it has so acquired in this offering by a lock-up agreement STT
GDC entered into with the underwriters and by restrictions under applicable securities laws. As a result, any purchase of ADSs by STT GDC in this offering may reduce the liquidity of our ADSs relative
to what it would have been had these ADSs been purchased by investors that were not affiliated with&nbsp;us. </FONT></P>

cast or for the effect of any such vote. As a result, you may not be able to exercise your right to vote and you may lack recourse if your ADSs are not voted as you requested. In addition, in your

distributions in proportion to the number of Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares your ADSs represent. However, the depositary may, at its discretion, decide that it is inequitable or impractical to make a
distribution available to any holders of ADSs. For example, the depositary may determine that it is not practicable to distribute certain property through the mail, or that the value of certain

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
are an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Our corporate affairs are governed by our memorandum and articles of
association, the Companies Law (2016 Revision) of the Cayman Islands and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take action against the directors, actions by minority
shareholders and the fiduciary duties of our directors to us under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is
derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from the common law of England, the decisions of whose courts are of persuasive authority, but are not
binding,
on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary duties of our directors under Cayman Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes or
judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United&nbsp;States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a less developed body of securities laws than the United&nbsp;States. Some
U.S.&nbsp;states, such as Delaware, have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law than the Cayman Islands. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing
to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United&nbsp;States. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have adopted amended and restated articles of association that contain provisions to limit the ability of others to acquire control of our company or cause us to
engage in change-of-control transactions. These provisions could have the effect of depriving our shareholders of an opportunity to sell their shares at a premium over prevailing market prices by
discouraging third parties from seeking to obtain control of our company in a tender offer or similar transaction. For example, our board of directors has the authority, without further action by our
shareholders, to issue preferred shares in one or more series and to fix their designations, powers, preferences, privileges, and relative participating, optional or special rights and the
qualifications, limitations or restrictions, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption and liquidation preferences, any or all of which may be greater than the
rights associated with our ordinary shares, in the form of ADS or otherwise. Preferred shares could be issued quickly with terms calculated to delay
or prevent a change in control of our company or make removal of management more difficult. If our board of directors decides to issue preferred shares, the price of our ADSs may fall and the voting
and other rights of the holders of our ordinary shares and ADSs may be materially and adversely affected. In addition, our amended articles of association contain other provisions that could limit the
ability of third parties to acquire control of our company or cause us to engage in a transaction resulting in a change of control, as defined in our amended articles of association, including: a
provision that entitles Class&nbsp;B ordinary shares to 20&nbsp;votes per share at general meetings of our shareholders with respect to the election of a simple majority of our directors; a
provision that entitles Class&nbsp;B shareholders to nominate one less than a simple majority, or five of our directors; a provision that allows one of our principal shareholders to appoint up to
three directors to our board of directors for so long as they beneficially own certain percentages of our issued share capital; and a classified board with staggered terms for our directors, which
will prevent the replacement of a majority of directors at one&nbsp;time. </FONT></P>

if either (i)&nbsp;75% or more of our gross income in that taxable year is passive income or (ii)&nbsp;the average percentage of our assets (which includes cash) by value in that taxable year
which produce, or are held for the production of, passive income is at least 50%. The calculation of the value of our assets will be based, in part, on the quarterly market value of our ADSs, which is
subject to change. See "Taxation&#151;Material United&nbsp;States Federal Income Tax Considerations&#151;Passive Foreign Investment Company." </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
addition, there is uncertainty as to the treatment of our corporate structure and ownership of our consolidated VIEs for United&nbsp;States federal income tax purposes. For
United&nbsp;States federal income tax purposes, we consider ourselves to own the stock of our consolidated VIEs. If it is determined, contrary to our view, that we do not own the stock of our
consolidated VIEs for United&nbsp;States federal income tax purposes (for&nbsp;instance, because the relevant PRC authorities do not respect these arrangements), we may be treated as
a&nbsp;PFIC. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which you hold our ADSs or Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares, our PFIC status could result in adverse United&nbsp;States federal income tax
consequences to you if you are a United&nbsp;States Holder, as defined under "Taxation&#151;Material United&nbsp;States Federal Income Tax Considerations." For example, if we are or become
a PFIC, you may become subject to increased tax liabilities under United&nbsp;States federal income tax laws and regulations, and will become subject to burdensome reporting requirements. See
"Taxation&#151;Material United&nbsp;States Federal Income Tax Considerations&#151;Passive Foreign Investment Company". There can be no assurance that we will not be a PFIC for 2018 or
any future taxable year. Simpson Thacher&nbsp;&amp; Bartlett&nbsp;LLP, our United&nbsp;States counsel, does not express any opinion about our status as a PFIC in any taxable&nbsp;year. </FONT></P>

We will continue to incur increased costs as a result of being a public company, particularly after we cease
to qualify as an "emerging growth company."  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Since the completion of our initial public offering, we have incurred significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as
a private company. The Sarbanes-Oxley
Act, as well as rules subsequently implemented by the SEC and Nasdaq, impose various requirements on the corporate governance practices of public companies. As a company with less than
US$1.07&nbsp;billion in net revenue for our last fiscal year, we qualify as an "emerging growth company" pursuant to the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced
reporting and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include exemption from the auditor attestation requirement under Section&nbsp;404 of
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in the assessment of the emerging growth company's internal control over financial reporting and permission to delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time
as those standards apply to private companies. However, we have elected to "opt out" of the provision that allow us to delay adopting new or revised accounting standards and, as a result, we will
comply with new or revised accounting standards as required when they are adopted for public companies. This decision to opt out of the extended transition period under the JOBS Act
is&nbsp;irrevocable. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;These
rules and regulations have increased our legal and financial compliance costs and made some corporate activities more time-consuming and costly. After we are no longer an "emerging

compliance with the requirements of Section&nbsp;404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the other rules and regulations of the SEC. Operating as a public company has also made it more difficult
and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same
or similar coverage. In addition, we have incurred additional costs associated with our public company reporting requirements. It may also be more difficult for us to find qualified persons to serve

the past, shareholders of a public company often brought securities class action suits against the company following periods of instability in the market price of that company's

results of operations and require us to incur significant expenses to defend the suit. Any such class action suit, whether or not successful, could harm our reputation and restrict our ability to
raise capital in the future. In addition, if a claim is successfully made against us, we may be required to pay significant damages, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial

Overview  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are a leading developer and operator of high-performance data centers in China. Our facilities are strategically located in China's primary
economic hubs where demand for high-performance data center services is concentrated. Our data centers have large net floor area, high power capacity, density and efficiency, and multiple redundancy
across all critical systems. We are carrier and cloud neutral, which enables our customers to connect to all major PRC telecommunications carriers, and to access a number of the largest PRC cloud
service providers, whom we host in our facilities. We offer colocation and managed services, including direct private connection to major cloud platforms. We have a 17-year track record of service
delivery, successfully fulfilling the requirements of some of the largest and most demanding customers for outsourced data center services in China. Our base of approximately 500&nbsp;customers
consists predominantly of hyper-scale cloud service providers, large Internet companies, financial institutions, telecommunications and IT service providers, and large domestic private sector and
multinational corporations. As of September&nbsp;30, 2017, we had an aggregate net floor area of 77,832&nbsp;sqm in service, 89.8% of which was committed, and an aggregate net floor area of
37,478&nbsp;sqm under construction, 34.6% of which was pre-committed. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have experienced significant growth in recent years. Our net revenue grew RMB 352.4&nbsp;million from RMB703.6&nbsp;million in 2015 to RMB1,056.0&nbsp;million
(US$158.7&nbsp;million) in 2016, representing an increase of 50.1%, and increased RMB366.4&nbsp;million from RMB744.3&nbsp;million in the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2016 to
RMB1,110.7&nbsp;million (US$166.9&nbsp;million) in the same period in 2017, representing an increase of 49.2%. We derive net revenue primarily from colocation services and, to a lesser extent,
managed services. In addition, we also sell IT equipment either on a stand-alone basis or bundled in a managed service contract arrangement and provide consulting services. Our adjusted EBITDA
increased from RMB164.7&nbsp;million in 2015 to RMB270.5&nbsp;million (US$40.7&nbsp;million) in 2016, representing an increase of 64.2%, and increased from RMB178.5&nbsp;million in the nine
months ended September&nbsp;30, 2016 to RMB357.5&nbsp;million (US$53.7&nbsp;million) in the same period in 2017, representing an increase of 100.3%. See a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to
net loss in "Summary Historical Consolidated Financial Data&#151;Non-GAAP Measures." We suffered net loss of RMB98.6&nbsp;million in 2015, RMB276.4&nbsp;million (US$41.5&nbsp;million) in
2016 and RMB210.4&nbsp;million (US$31.6&nbsp;million) in the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2017. As of September&nbsp;30, 2017, our accumulated deficit was RMB1,069.0&nbsp;million
(US$160.7&nbsp;million). </FONT></P>

Key Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our business and results of operations are generally affected by the development of China's data center services market. We have benefited from
rapid growth in this market during recent years and any adverse changes in the data center services market in China may harm our business and results of operations. In addition, we believe that our
results of operations are directly affected by the following key&nbsp;factors. </FONT></P>

Ability to Source and Develop Data Centers  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our revenue growth depends on our ability to source and develop additional data centers. As it typically takes a minimum of twelve to eighteen
months to develop a data center together with racks and equipment installed, we must commit to development in advance of realizing a benefit from our investment. We endeavor to ensure continuous
availability of data center capacity to satisfy customer demand by maintaining a supply of high-performance data centers in various stages of development&#151;from identified sites, to data
centers under construction to available net floor areas in existing data centers. We expand our sourcing of new data center area by (1)&nbsp;acquiring or leasing property which we develop for use as
data center facilities, whether through constructing on greenfield sites or converting existing industrial buildings, (2)&nbsp;leasing existing data center capacity from third-party wholesale
providers, and (3)&nbsp;acquiring high-performance data centers from other companies. Our ability to maintain a growing supply of data center assets directly affects our revenue growth potential. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
we are unable to identify suitable land or facilities for new data centers or to do so at an acceptable cost to us or experience delays or increased costs during the data center
design and construction development process, our ability to grow our revenue and improve our results of operations would be negatively affected. Additionally, if demand slows unexpectedly or we source
and develop data centers too rapidly, the resulting overcapacity would adversely affect our results of&nbsp;operations. </FONT></P>

Ability to Secure Commitments for Data Center Services from Our Customers and Minimize
Move-in&nbsp;Periods  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Due to the lengthy time period required to build data centers and the long-term nature of these investments, if we overestimate market demand
for data center resources, our
utilization rate, which is the ratio of area utilized to area in service would be reduced, which would adversely affect our results of operations. Our revenue growth depends on our ability to secure
commitments for our data center services. We focus on obtaining these commitments during the construction phase by entering into pre-commitment agreements with customers and endeavor to maximize total
area committed. While providing flexibility to customers, we also aim to minimize move-in period so as to provide billable services and to start generating revenue. Accordingly, our results of
operations are highly influenced by our ability to maintain a high utilization rate. Our total area committed increased from 35,918&nbsp;sqm as of December&nbsp;31, 2015, to 61,043&nbsp;sqm as
of December&nbsp;31, 2016, and further to 82,850&nbsp;sqm. as of September&nbsp;30, 2017, while area utilized increased from 22,365&nbsp;sqm as of December&nbsp;31, 2015, to
37,082&nbsp;sqm as of December&nbsp;31, 2016, and further to 50,579&nbsp;sqm as of September&nbsp;30, 2017. Move-in periods, and minimum commitments over the move-in period, vary significantly
from customer to customer. We strive to optimize our customer mix to achieve high commitment rates and utilization rates and a high proportion of long-term relationships. </FONT></P>

Pricing Structure and Power Costs  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our results of operations will be affected by our ability to operate our data centers efficiently in terms of power consumption. Our data
centers require significant levels of power supply to support their operations. Depending on the contract, we agree with our customer to either charge them for actual power consumed or we factor it
into a fixed price. The majority of our customers select pricing </FONT></P>

Utilization of Existing Capacity  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our ability to maximize profitability depends on attaining high utilization of data center net floor area and power capacity. A substantial
majority of our cost of revenue and operating expenses are fixed in nature. Such costs increase with each new data center and entail additional power commitment costs, depreciation from new property
plant and equipment, rental costs on leased
facilities, personnel costs and start-up costs. By adopting a modular development approach, we aim to optimize resource utilization and maximize capital efficiency to improve profitability. </FONT></P>

Cost Structure Depending on Data Center Tenure and Location  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We hold our data centers through a mix of those that we own or lease. The leases typically range from three years for third-party data centers
to twenty years for self-developed data centers, all with different renewal periods. The tenure of the leases and the periods during which the amount are fixed or capped under the leases will affect
our cost structure in the future. In addition, if many of our data centers continue to be located close to central business districts, where rental costs are generally higher, our cost structure will
also be&nbsp;affected. </FONT></P>

Data Center Development and Financing Costs  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our revenue growth depends on our ability to develop data centers at commercially acceptable terms. We have historically funded data center
development through additional equity or debt financing. We expect to continue to fund future developments through debt financing or through the issuance of additional equity securities if necessary
and when market conditions permit. Such additional financing may not be available, may not be on commercially acceptable terms or may result in an increase to our financing costs. In addition, we may
encounter development delays, excess development costs, or challenges in attracting or retaining customers to use our data center services. We also may not be able to identify suitable land or
facilities for new data centers or at a cost or terms acceptable to&nbsp;us. </FONT></P>

Key Performance Indicators  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our net revenue and results of operations are largely determined by the amount of data center area in service, the degree to which data center
space is committed or pre-committed as well as its utilization. Accordingly, our management uses the following key performance indicators as measures to evaluate our performance: </FONT></P>

Net Revenue  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We derive net revenue primarily from colocation services and, to a lesser extent, managed services, including managed hosting and managed cloud
services. In addition, from time to time, we also sell IT equipment on a stand-alone basis or bundled in a managed service contract arrangement to customers and provide consulting services.
Substantially all of our service revenue is recognized on a recurring basis. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
colocation services primarily comprise the provision of space, power and cooling to our customers for housing servers and related IT equipment. Our customers have several choices for </FONT></P>

their networking, server and storage equipment. They can place the equipment in a shared or private space that can be customized to their requirements. We offer power options customized to a
customer's individual power requirement. Colocation services are provided to customers for a fixed amount over the contract service period. Revenue from colocation services is recognized ratably over
the term of the contractual service&nbsp;period. </FONT></P>

managed services include managed hosting and managed cloud services. Our managed hosting offering comprises a broad range of value-added services, covering each layer of the data
center IT value chain. Our suite of managed hosting services includes technical services, network management services, data storage services, system security services, database services and server
middleware services. The majority of our managed hosting services revenue is provided to customers for a fixed amount over the contract service period and billed on a monthly or quarterly basis.
Revenue from managed hosting services is recognized ratably over the term of the contractual service period. Our suite of managed cloud services includes direct private connection to major cloud
platforms, the provision of cloud infrastructure, and solutions to assist our customers in managing their hybrid&nbsp;clouds. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
are subject to VAT at a rate of 6% on the IDC services we provide, less any deductible VAT we have already paid or borne. We are also subject to surcharges on VAT payments in
accordance with PRC law. During the periods presented, we were not subject to business tax on the services we&nbsp;provide. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
consider our customer to be the end user of our data center services. We may enter into contracts directly with the end user customer or through an intermediate contracting party. We
have in the past derived, and believe that we will continue to derive, a significant portion of our total net revenue from a limited number of customers. We had two end user customers that generated
20.1% and 10.3% of our total net revenue in 2015 and 18.6% and 14.6% of our total net revenue in 2016, respectively. We had one customer that generated 25.7% of our total net revenue in the nine
months ended September&nbsp;30, 2017. No other end user customer accounted for 10% or more of our total net revenue during those periods. We expect our net revenue will continue to be highly
dependent on a limited number of end user customers who account for a large percentage of our total area committed. As of September&nbsp;30, 2017, we had two end user customers who accounted for
30.7% and 22.4%, respectively, of our total area committed. No other end user customer accounted for 10% or more of total area&nbsp;committed. </FONT></P>

Cost of Revenue  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our cost of revenue consists primarily of utility costs, depreciation of property and equipment, rental costs, labor costs and others. Utility
costs refer primarily to the cost of power needed to carry out our data center services. Depreciation of property and equipment primarily relates to depreciation of data center property and equipment,
such as assets acquired under capital leases, leasehold improvements to data centers and other long-lived assets. Rental costs relate to the data center space we lease and use in providing services to
our customers. Labor costs refer to compensation and benefit expenses for our engineering and operations personnel. These costs are largely fixed costs other than utility costs, for which there is a
portion that varies proportionally to each customer's power and utility consumption and a fixed portion consisting of a monthly power commitment fee. When a new data center comes into service, we
mainly incur a level of fixed utility costs that are not directly correlated with net&nbsp;revenue. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
expect that our cost of revenue will continue to increase as our business expands and we expect that utility costs, depreciation and amortization and rental costs will continue to
comprise the largest portion of our cost of revenue. In addition, in any given period, the increase in our cost of revenue may also outpace the growth of our net revenue depending on the timing of the
development of our data centers, our ability to secure customer contracts and the utilization rate of our data centers during the period. While we strive to both secure customer commitments to our
data center services so </FONT></P>

incurred lower share-based compensation expenses in the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 which was due to us granting shares in May

and incur further share-based compensation expenses in future&nbsp;periods. </FONT></P>

Effect of Acquisition of Shenzhen 5  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On June&nbsp;29, 2017, we consummated an acquisition of all the equity interests in a target group from a third party for an aggregate
contingent purchase price of RMB312.0&nbsp;million (US$46.9&nbsp;million), of which RMB42.7 (US$6.4&nbsp;million) was paid as of September&nbsp;30, 2017. As of September&nbsp;30, 2017, we
expected that all specified conditions would be met and we would be obligated to settle the full amount of the purchase price under the share purchase agreement of RMB312.0&nbsp;million
(US$46.9&nbsp;million). </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
target group owns a data center project in Shenzhen, China. As of the date of acquisition, the data center had just commenced its&nbsp;operations. </FONT></P>

Net Revenue  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our net revenue increased by 49.2% to RMB1,110.7&nbsp;million (US$166.9&nbsp;million) in the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2017
from RMB744.3&nbsp;million in the same period in 2016. This increase was due to an increase in service revenue of RMB394.9&nbsp;million, partially offset by a decrease in IT equipment sales of
RMB28.5&nbsp;million. The increase in service revenue consisted of an increase in revenue from colocation services of RMB321.7&nbsp;million, an increase in revenue from managed services of
RMB72.7&nbsp;million and an increase in revenue from consulting services of RMB0.5&nbsp;million. These increases in service revenue were mainly due to (i)&nbsp;an increase in area utilized from
34,369&nbsp;sqm as of September&nbsp;30, 2016 to 50,579&nbsp;sqm as of September&nbsp;30, 2017 as customers with commitments moved into the data center area, (ii)&nbsp;the signing of new
service contracts by customers who commenced utilizing services during the period, (iii)&nbsp;the commencement of operations of new data centers since September&nbsp;30, 2016 and (iv)&nbsp;the
acquisition of one data center in Guangzhou in 2016 and one data center in Shenzhen in the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2017, respectively. </FONT></P>

Cost of Revenue  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our cost of revenue increased by 47.9% to RMB820.4&nbsp;million (US$123.3&nbsp;million) in the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2017
from RMB554.5&nbsp;million in the same period in 2016. This increase was primarily due to an increase of 57.3% in utility costs to RMB246.6&nbsp;million (US$37.1&nbsp;million) in the nine months
ended September&nbsp;30, 2017 from RMB156.8&nbsp;million in the same period in 2016, and an increase of 67.6% in depreciation and amortization costs to RMB239.3&nbsp;million
(US$36.0&nbsp;million) in the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2017 from RMB142.7&nbsp;million in the same period in 2016. Increases in both utility costs and depreciation and amortization
costs were largely a result of an increase in new data center facilities. In addition, the increase in cost of revenue was due to (i)&nbsp;an increase of RMB24.5&nbsp;million in rental expense for
operating lease, (ii)&nbsp;an increase in personnel costs of RMB11.9&nbsp;million in connection with more data centers coming into service, (iii)&nbsp;an increase of RMB13.4&nbsp;million for
network cost, and (iv)&nbsp;an increase of RMB55.0&nbsp;million for maintenance and other costs. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in cost of equipment sold of
RMB25.3&nbsp;million. Cost of revenue as percentage of net revenue slightly decreased to 73.9% in the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2017 from 74.5% in the same period in&nbsp;2016. </FONT></P>

2017 as compared to RMB233.4&nbsp;million in the same period in 2016, as increases in personnel costs of RMB13.2&nbsp;million and in office and traveling expenses of RMB11.4&nbsp;million were
partially offset by a decrease in share-based compensation expenses of RMB22.0&nbsp;million. Our total operating expenses as a percentage of our net revenue decreased to 20.9% in the nine months
ended September&nbsp;30, 2017 from 31.4% in the same period in&nbsp;2016. </FONT></P>

the nine
months ended September&nbsp;30, 2017 from RMB51.7&nbsp;million in the same period in 2016. This increase was primarily attributable to (i)&nbsp;an increase in share-based compensation expenses
of RMB7.6&nbsp;million, and (ii)&nbsp;an increase in personnel costs of RMB10.8&nbsp;million, related to bonuses and the hiring of sales personnel. </FONT></P>

expenses of RMB30.0&nbsp;million and (ii)&nbsp;a decrease in directors' fees of RMB6.5&nbsp;million. The decrease was partially offset by (i)&nbsp;an increase in personnel costs of
RMB5.9&nbsp;million, (ii)&nbsp;an increase in office and traveling expenses of RMB10.1&nbsp;million, and (iii)&nbsp;an increase in depreciation and amortization expenses of
RMB8.1&nbsp;million due to the expansion of our&nbsp;business. </FONT></P>

Liquidity and Capital Resources  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our primary sources of liquidity have been cash flow from short-term and long-term borrowings, including borrowings from related parties, and
issuance of debt and equity securities, including in our initial public offering, and convertible bonds, which have historically been sufficient to meet our working capital and substantially all of
our capital expenditure requirements. Historically, we also have had capital lease and other financing obligations. As of September&nbsp;30, 2017, we had cash of approximately
RMB1,174.1&nbsp;million (US$176.5&nbsp;million). In addition, as of September&nbsp;30, 2017, total short-term debt was RMB991.3&nbsp;million (US$149.0&nbsp;million), comprised of short-term
borrowings and the current portion of long-term borrowings of RMB952.7&nbsp;million (US$143.2&nbsp;million) and the current portion of capital lease and other financing obligations of
RMB38.6&nbsp;million (US$5.8&nbsp;million). As of the same date, total long-term debt was RMB4,950.7&nbsp;million (US$744.1&nbsp;million), comprised of long-term borrowings (excluding current
portion) of RMB2,241.9&nbsp;million (US$337.0&nbsp;million), convertible bonds of RMB995.5&nbsp;million (US$149.6&nbsp;million) and the non-current portion of capital lease and other financing
obligations of RMB1,713.3&nbsp;million (US$257.5&nbsp;million). Our WFOEs provided outsourcing and other services to the VIEs within our company with revenues being recognized by the WFOEs, and
costs being recognized by the VIEs, of RMB189.7&nbsp;million and RMB548.9&nbsp;million (US$82.5&nbsp;million) during the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2016 and 2017, respectively. These
inter-company transactions are eliminated on a consolidated basis. </FONT></P>

ratios, such as the interest coverage ratio and gross leverage ratio, during the relevant period, as defined in the facilities. In addition, the loan facility includes a cross default provision which
would be triggered if we fail to repay any financial indebtedness in an aggregate amount of RMB50.0&nbsp;million or more when due or within any originally applicable grace period. As of
September&nbsp;30, 2017, the outstanding loans under such facilities were RMB255.3&nbsp;million (US$38.4&nbsp;million) with a weighted average effective interest rate of 6.16% per annum, not
taking issuance cost into consideration. Such loan facility has been fully refinanced as mentioned below. </FONT></P>

borrower's outstanding debts (except for the outstanding shareholder's loans) and supplement of working capital. The initial interest rate agreed under the facility agreement is 7.35% per annum
(if&nbsp;the benchmark interest rate for loan of PBOC is revised upwards during the term of the facility, the interest rate under the agreement will be adjusted accordingly), with a term of
eighty-four (84)&nbsp;months from the first utilization date of the facility. The security for the loan includes, among others, the pledge of the real estates and the land use right in relation to
the borrower's Chengdu data center project, pledge of all equity interests of the borrower,

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If you invest in our ADSs, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per ADS and our as
adjusted net tangible book value per ADS after this offering. Dilution results from the fact that the public offering price per Class&nbsp;A ordinary share is substantially in excess of the net
tangible book value per ordinary share attributable to the existing shareholders for our presently outstanding ordinary shares. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
net tangible book value as of September&nbsp;30, 2017 was approximately RMB1,067.1&nbsp;million (US$160.4&nbsp;million), or RMB1.3997 (US$0.2104) per ordinary share as of that
date, and RMB11.1972 (US$1.6830) per ADS. Net tangible book value represents the amount of our total consolidated assets, less the amount of our intangible assets, goodwill and total consolidated
liabilities. Dilution is determined by subtracting as adjusted net tangible book value per ordinary share, after giving effect to the issuance and sale by us of shares in the form of ADSs in this
offering at an assumed public offering price of US$26.97 per ADS, which was the last reported closing price of our ADSs on January 22, 2018, after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and
commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us from the public offering price per Class&nbsp;A ordinary&nbsp;share. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Without
taking into account any other changes in net tangible book value after September&nbsp;30, 2017, other than to give effect to the issuance and sale by us of Class&nbsp;A
ordinary shares in the form of ADSs in this offering at an assumed public offering price of US$26.97 per ADS, which was the last reported closing price of our ADSs on January 22, 2018, and after
deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of September&nbsp;30, 2017 would have been
RMB2,427.9 million (US$364.9 million), or RMB2.9379 (US$0.4416) per outstanding ordinary share and RMB23.5032 (US$3.5326) per ADS. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of
US$0.2312 per ordinary share and US$1.8496 per ADS to the existing shareholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value
of US$2.9297 per ordinary share and US$23.4374 per ADS to investors purchasing ADSs in this&nbsp;offering. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our equity incentive plan adopted in 2014, the 2014 share incentive plan, provides for the grant of options, share appreciation rights or other
share-based awards, which we refer to collectively as equity awards. Up to 29,240,000&nbsp;ordinary shares upon exercise of equity awards may be granted under the 2014 share incentive plan. We
believe that the plan will aid us in recruiting, retaining and motivating key employees, directors and consultants of outstanding ability through the granting of equity&nbsp;awards. </FONT></P>

completion of our initial public offering), the compensation committee, or any subcommittee thereof to whom the board or the compensation committee shall delegate the authority to grant or amend
equity awards. The plan administrator is authorized to interpret the plan, to establish, amend and rescind any rules and regulations relating to the plan, and to make any other determinations that it
deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the plan, as well as determine the provisions, terms and conditions of each award consistent with the provisions of the&nbsp;plan. </FONT></P>

Change in Control  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the event of a change in control (as&nbsp;defined below), if determined by the plan administrator in an award agreement or otherwise, any
outstanding equity awards that are unexercisable or otherwise unvested or subject to lapse restrictions, will automatically be deemed exercisable or otherwise vested or no longer subject to lapse
restrictions, as the case may be, immediately prior to such change in control. The plan administrator may also, in its sole discretion, decide to cancel such equity awards for fair value, provide for
the issuance of substitute awards that will substantially preserve the otherwise applicable terms of any affected awards previously granted or provide that affected share options or share appreciation
rights will be exercisable for a period of at least 15&nbsp;days prior to the change in control and terminated upon the change in control if not previously exercised. A "change in control" under the
2016 share incentive plan is generally defined as (1)&nbsp;the sale of all or substantially all of our assets to any person or group (other than certain permitted holders), unless the primary
purpose of the sale is to create a holding entity for us that will be directly or indirectly owned in substantially the same proportions by the same persons that held our shares immediately prior to
the consummation of such sale, or (2)&nbsp;one or more related transactions whereby any person or group (other than certain permitted holders) becomes the beneficial owner of more than 50% of the
total voting power of our voting shares and controls the composition of a majority of our board of directors, unless the primary purpose of such transaction or transactions, as applicable, is to
create a holding entity for us that will be directly or indirectly owned in substantially the same proportions by the same persons that held our shares immediately prior to the consummation of such
transaction. </FONT></P>

Award Agreements  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Generally, equity awards granted under the 2016 share incentive plan are evidenced by an award agreement providing for the number of ordinary
shares subject to the award, and the terms and conditions of the award, which must be consistent with the 2016 share incentive&nbsp;plan. </FONT></P>

Vesting Schedule  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The plan administrator determines the vesting schedule of each equity award granted under the 2016 share incentive plan, which vesting schedule
will be set forth in the award agreement for such equity&nbsp;award. </FONT></P>

Granted Restricted Shares  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The total number of shares that may be issued under the 2016 share incentive plan is 56,707,560. In August&nbsp;2016, we granted
877,400&nbsp;restricted shares to directors pursuant to equity awards under the 2016 share incentive plan. These restricted shares were fully vested upon the date of grant in lieu of cash to our
directors to settle a portion of their remuneration for services provided by the directors in the&nbsp;past. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
December&nbsp;2016, we granted 12,910,080&nbsp;non-vested restricted shares to employees, officers and directors. The restricted share awards were granted subject to service and
market conditions, or service and performance conditions, which are tied to our financial performance. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
May, August and November&nbsp;2017, we issued an aggregate of 502,000&nbsp;restricted shares to directors pursuant to equity awards under the 2016 share incentive plan. These
restricted shares were fully vested upon the date of grant, and were granted to our directors in lieu of cash to settle a portion of remuneration for their services previously rendered. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our ordinary shares are divided into Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares and Class&nbsp;B ordinary shares. Holders of Class&nbsp;A ordinary
shares are entitled to one vote per share, while holders of Class&nbsp;B ordinary shares are entitled to 20&nbsp;votes per share with respect to the following matters: (i)&nbsp;the election of a
simple majority, or six, of our directors; and (ii)&nbsp;any change to our articles of association that would adversely affect the rights of Class&nbsp;B shareholders. As of the date of this
prospectus supplement, we had 873,679,337&nbsp;Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares (including 16,187,696 Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares held by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as depositary, which are
reserved for future delivery upon exercise or vesting of share awards granted under our share incentive plans) and 67,590,336&nbsp;Class&nbsp;B ordinary shares issued and outstanding. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Beneficial
ownership is determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership
of that person, we have included shares that the person has the right to acquire within 60&nbsp;days after December&nbsp;31, 2017, the most recent practicable date, including through the exercise
of any option, warrant, or other right or the conversion of any other security. These shares, however, are not included in the computation of the percentage ownership of any other person. The
percentages before and after this offering are calculated excluding the 16,187,696 Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares that are held by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as depositary, and reserved for future
delivery in respect of share awards. The percentages after this offering are calculated after giving effect to the sale by us and the selling shareholders of 76,000,000 Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares
in the form of ADSs pursuant to this prospectus supplement, at an assumed offering price of US$26.97 per ADS, which was the last reported closing price of our ADSs on January&nbsp;22, 2018, assuming
the underwriters do not exercise their option to purchase additional&nbsp;ADSs. </FONT></P>

following table does not reflect any Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares in the form of ADSs that may be purchased in this offering by STT GDC, which has indicated an interest in
purchasing up to an aggregate of 2,927,520 ADSs, representing 23,420,160 Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares, in this offering at the public offering price. </FONT></P>

interest are not binding agreements or commitments to purchase, the underwriters could determine to sell more, less or no ADSs to STT GDC, and STT GDC could determine to purchase more, less or no ADSs
in this offering. The underwriters will receive the same underwriting discounts and commissions on any ADSs purchased by STT GDC as they will on any other ADSs sold to the public in this offering. If

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Since our inception, we have not declared or paid any dividends on our shares. We do not have any present plan to pay any dividends on our
Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares or ADSs in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain most, if not all, of our available funds and any future earnings to operate and expand our&nbsp;business. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any
future determination to pay dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and may be based on a number of factors, including our future operations and earnings,
capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that the board of directors may deem relevant. If we pay any dividends, we will pay our ADS
holders to the same extent as holders of our Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares, subject to the terms of the deposit agreement, including the fees and expenses payable thereunder. Cash dividends on our
ordinary shares, if any, will be paid in U.S.&nbsp;dollars. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
are an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. In order for us to distribute any dividends to our shareholders and ADS holders, we may rely on dividends distributed by
our PRC subsidiaries. Certain payments from our PRC subsidiaries to us may be subject to PRC withholding income tax. In addition, regulations in the PRC currently permit payment of dividends of a PRC
company only out of accumulated distributable after-tax profits as determined in accordance with its articles of association and the accounting standards and regulations in China. Each of our PRC
subsidiaries is required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profit based on PRC accounting standards every year to a statutory common reserve fund until the aggregate amount of such reserve
fund reaches 50% of the registered capital of such subsidiary. Such statutory reserves are not distributable as loans, advances or cash&nbsp;dividends. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All of our ordinary shares issued prior to our initial public offering are "restricted shares" as that term is defined in Rule&nbsp;144 under

registration requirement such as those provided by Rule&nbsp;144 and Rule&nbsp;701 promulgated under the Securities Act. In general, under Rule&nbsp;144 as currently in effect, a person who has
beneficially owned our restricted securities for at least six months is entitled to sell the restricted securities without registration under the Securities Act, subject to certain restrictions.
Persons who are our affiliates (including persons beneficially owning 10% or more of our outstanding shares) may sell within any three-month period a number of restricted securities that does not

securities to be sold either in "brokers' transactions" as such term is defined under the Securities Act, through transactions directly with a market maker as such term is defined under the Exchange
Act or through a riskless principal transaction as described in Rule&nbsp;144. In addition, the manner-of-sale provisions require the person selling the securities not to solicit or arrange for the
solicitation of orders to buy the securities in anticipation of or in connection with such transaction or make any payment in connection with the offer or sale of the securities to any person other
than the broker or dealer who executes the order to sell the securities. If the amount of securities to be sold in reliance upon Rule&nbsp;144 during any period of three months exceeds
5,000&nbsp;shares or other units or has an aggregate sale price in excess of US$50,000, three copies of a notice on Form&nbsp;144 should be filed with the SEC. If such securities are admitted to
trading on any national securities exchange, one copy of such notice also must be transmitted to the principal exchange on which such securities are admitted. The Form&nbsp;144 should be signed by
the person for whose account the securities are to be sold and should be transmitted for filing concurrently with either the placing with a broker of an order to execute a sale of securities or the
execution directly with a market maker of such a&nbsp;sale. </FONT></P>

Stabilization, Short Positions and Penalty Bids  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In connection with this offering, the underwriters may engage in stabilizing transactions, which involves making bids for, purchasing and
selling ADSs in the open market for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the ADSs while this offering is in progress. These stabilizing transactions may include
making short sales of ADSs, which involves the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of ADSs than they are required to purchase in this offering, and purchasing ADSs on the open market to cover
positions created by short sales. Short sales may be "covered" shorts, which are short positions in an amount not greater than the underwriters' option to purchase additional ADSs referred to above,
or may be "naked" shorts, which are short positions in excess of that amount. The underwriters may close out any covered short position either by exercising their option to purchase additional ADSs,
in whole or in part, or by purchasing ADSs in the open market. In making this determination, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of ADSs available for purchase in the open
market compared to the price at which the underwriters may purchase ADSs through the option to purchase additional ADSs. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are
concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the ADSs in the open market that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering. To the extent that the underwriters
create a naked short position, they will purchase ADSs in the open market to cover the&nbsp;position. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
underwriters have advised us that, pursuant to Regulation&nbsp;M of the Securities Act, they may also engage in other activities that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the
price of the ADSs, including the imposition of penalty bids. This means that if the representatives of the underwriters purchase ADSs in the open market in stabilizing transactions or to cover short
sales, the representatives can require the underwriters that sold those ADSs as part of this offering to repay the underwriting discount received by&nbsp;them. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;These
activities may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of the ADSs or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the ADSs, and, as a result, the
price of the ADSs may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If the underwriters commence these activities, they may discontinue them at any time. The underwriters may
carry out these transactions on the Nasdaq Global Market, in the over the counter market or&nbsp;otherwise. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
addition, in connection with this offering certain of the underwriters (and&nbsp;selling group members) may engage in passive market making transactions in our common stock on The
Nasdaq Stock Market prior to the pricing and completion of this offering. Passive market making consists of displaying bids on The Nasdaq Stock Market no higher than the bid prices of independent
market makers and making purchases at prices no higher than these independent bids and effected in response to order flow. Net purchases by a passive market maker on each day are generally limited to
a specified percentage of the passive market maker's average daily trading volume in the common stock during a specified period and must be discontinued when such limit is reached. Passive market
making may cause the price of our common stock to be higher than the price that otherwise would exist in the open market in the absence of these transactions. If passive market making is commenced, it
may be discontinued at any&nbsp;time. </FONT></P>

Cayman Islands Taxation  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Cayman Islands currently levies no taxes on individuals or corporations based upon profits, income, gains or appreciation and there is no
taxation in the nature of inheritance tax or estate duty or withholding tax applicable to us or to any holder of our ADSs and ordinary shares. There are no other taxes likely to be material to us
levied by the Government of the Cayman Islands except for stamp duties which may be applicable on instruments executed in, or after execution brought within the jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands. No
stamp duty is payable in the Cayman Islands on transfers of shares of Cayman Islands companies except those which hold interests in land in the Cayman Islands. The Cayman Islands is a party to a
double tax treaty entered with the United&nbsp;Kingdom in 2010 but is otherwise not party to any double tax treaties. There are no exchange control regulations or currency restrictions in the
Cayman&nbsp;Islands. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pursuant
to Section&nbsp;6 of the Tax Concessions Law (1999 Revision) of the Cayman Islands, we have obtained an undertaking from the Governor-in-Council: </FONT></P>

PRC Taxation  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In March&nbsp;2007, the National People's Congress of China enacted the Enterprise Income Tax Law, which became effective on January&nbsp;1,
2008, and was amended on February&nbsp;24, 2017. The Enterprise Income Tax Law provides that enterprises organized under the laws of jurisdictions outside China with their "de facto management
bodies" located within China may be considered PRC
resident enterprises and therefore subject to PRC enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on their worldwide income. The Implementing Rules of the Enterprise Income Tax Law further defines the term
"de facto management body" as the management body that exercises substantial and overall management and control over the business, personnel, accounts and properties of an enterprise. While we do not
currently consider our company or any of our overseas subsidiaries to be a PRC resident enterprise, there is a risk that the PRC tax authorities may deem our company or any of our overseas
subsidiaries as a PRC resident enterprise since a substantial majority of the members of our management team as well as the management team of some of our overseas subsidiaries are located in China,
in which case we or the overseas subsidiaries, as the case may be, would be subject to the PRC enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on worldwide income. If the PRC tax authorities determine that
our Cayman Islands holding company is a "resident enterprise" for PRC enterprise income tax purposes, a number of unfavorable PRC tax consequences could follow. One example is a 10% withholding tax
would be imposed on dividends we pay to our non-PRC enterprise shareholders and with respect to gains derived </FONT></P>

Taxation of Dividends  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subject to the discussion under "&#151;Passive Foreign Investment Company" below, the gross amount of any distributions on the ADSs or
ordinary shares (including any amounts withheld to reflect PRC withholding taxes) will be taxable as dividends, to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined
under United&nbsp;States federal income tax principles. Such income (including withheld taxes) will be includable in your gross income as ordinary income on the day actually or constructively
received by you, in the case of the ordinary shares, or by the depositary, in the case of ADSs. Such dividends will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction allowed to corporations under
the&nbsp;Code. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;With
respect to non-corporate United&nbsp;States Holders, certain dividends received from a qualified foreign corporation may be subject to reduced rates of taxation. A foreign
corporation is treated as a qualified foreign corporation with respect to dividends received from that corporation on ordinary shares (or&nbsp;ADSs backed by such shares) that are readily tradable
on an established securities market in the United&nbsp;States. Our ADSs are listed on the Nasdaq. As a result, United&nbsp;States Treasury Department guidance indicates that our ADSs are readily
tradable on an established securities market in the United&nbsp;States. Thus, subject to the discussion under "&#151;Passive Foreign Investment Company" below, we believe that dividends we
pay on our ADSs will meet the conditions required for the reduced tax rate. Since we do not expect that our ordinary shares will be listed on an established securities market, we do not believe that
dividends that we pay on our ordinary shares that are not represented by ADSs will meet the conditions required for these reduced tax rates. There also can be no assurance that our ADSs will continue
to be readily tradable on an established securities market in later years. Consequently, there can be no assurance that our ADSs will continue to be afforded the reduced tax rates. A qualified foreign
corporation also includes a foreign corporation that is eligible for the benefits of certain income tax treaties with the United&nbsp;States. In the event that we are deemed to be a PRC resident
enterprise under the PRC tax law (see "Taxation&#151;People's Republic of China Taxation" above), we may be eligible for the benefits of the income tax treaty between the United&nbsp;States
and the PRC, or the Treaty. In that case, dividends we pay on our ordinary shares would be eligible for the </FONT></P>

Non-corporate United&nbsp;States Holders that do not meet a minimum holding period requirement during which they are not protected from the risk of loss or that elect to treat the dividend income as
"investment income" pursuant to Section&nbsp;163(d)(4) of the Code will not be eligible for the reduced rates of taxation regardless of our status as a qualified foreign corporation. In addition,
the rate reduction will not apply to dividends if the recipient of a dividend is obligated to make related payments with respect to positions in substantially similar or related property. This
disallowance applies even if the minimum
holding period has been met. You should consult your own tax advisors regarding the application of these rules given your particular circumstances. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Non-corporate

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
the event that we are deemed to be a PRC resident enterprise under the PRC tax law, you may be subject to PRC withholding taxes on dividends paid to you with respect to the ADSs or
ordinary shares. See "Taxation&#151;People's Republic of China Taxation." In that case, subject to certain conditions and limitations (including a minimum holding period requirement), PRC
withholding taxes on dividends may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against your United&nbsp;States federal income tax liability. For purposes of calculating the foreign tax credit,
dividends paid on the ADSs or ordinary shares will be treated as foreign-source income and will generally constitute passive category income. The rules governing the foreign tax credit are complex.
You are urged to consult your tax advisor regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under your particular circumstances. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To
the extent that the amount of any distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under United&nbsp;States federal income tax principles, the
distribution ordinarily would be treated, first, as a tax-free return of capital, causing a reduction in the adjusted basis of the ADSs or ordinary shares (thereby increasing the amount of gain, or
decreasing the amount of loss, to be recognized by you on a subsequent disposition of the ADSs or ordinary shares), and, second, the balance in excess of adjusted basis ordinarily would be taxed as
capital gain recognized on a sale or exchange. However, we do not expect to determine our earnings and profits in accordance with United&nbsp;States federal income tax principles. Therefore, you
should expect that distributions will generally be reported to the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, and taxed to you as dividends (as&nbsp;discussed above), even if they might ordinarily be treated
as a tax-free return of capital or as capital&nbsp;gain. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are in the process of finalizing our 2017 financial statements. However, based on the past and projected composition of our income and
assets, and the valuation of our assets, including goodwill, we do not believe we were a PFIC for our taxable year ended December&nbsp;31, 2017 and we do not expect to be a PFIC for our taxable year
ending December&nbsp;31, 2018 or in future taxable years, although there can be no assurance in this regard, since the determination of our PFIC status cannot be made until the end of a taxable year
and depends significantly on the composition of our assets and income throughout the&nbsp;year. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For
this purpose, passive income generally includes dividends, interest, royalties and rents (other than royalties and rents derived in the active conduct of a trade or business and not
derived from a related person), as well as gains from the sale of assets (such as stock) that produce passive income, foreign currency gains, and certain other categories of income. If we own at least
25% (by&nbsp;value) of the stock of another corporation, we will be treated, for purposes of determining whether we are a PFIC, as owning our proportionate share of the other corporation's assets
and receiving our proportionate share of the other corporation's income. However, it is not entirely clear how the contractual arrangements between us and our consolidated VIEs will be treated for
purposes of the PFIC rules. For United&nbsp;States federal income tax purposes, we consider ourselves to own the stock of our consolidated VIEs. If it is determined, contrary to our view, that we do
not own the stock of our consolidated VIEs for United&nbsp;States federal income tax purposes (for&nbsp;instance, because the relevant PRC authorities do not respect these arrangements), that
would alter the composition of our income and assets for purposes of testing our PFIC status, and may cause us to be treated as a&nbsp;PFIC. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
determination of whether we are a PFIC is made annually. Accordingly, it is possible that we may become a PFIC in the current or any future taxable year due to changes in our asset
or income composition. The calculation of the value of our assets will be based, in part, on the quarterly market value of our ADSs, which is subject to change. The composition of our income and our
assets will also be affected by how, and how quickly, we spend the cash raised in this offering. If the cash is not deployed for active purposes, our risk of becoming a PFIC may&nbsp;increase. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which you hold our ADSs or ordinary shares and you do not make a timely mark-to-market election, as described below, you will be subject to
special&#151;and generally very unfavourable&#151;tax rules with respect to any
"excess distribution" received and any gain realized from a sale or other disposition, including a pledge, of ADSs or ordinary shares. Distributions received in a taxable year that are greater than
125% of the average annual distributions received during the shorter of the three preceding taxable years or your holding period for the ADSs or ordinary shares will be treated as excess
distributions. Under these special tax&nbsp;rules:</FONT></P>

<DT style='font-family:times;margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2>&#149;</FONT></DT><DD style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2> the excess distribution or gain will be allocated ratably over your holding period for the ADSs or ordinary shares, </FONT> <FONT SIZE=2>

generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the resulting tax attributable to each such&nbsp;year. </FONT></DD></DL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Although
the determination of whether we are a PFIC is made annually, if we are a PFIC for any taxable year in which you hold our ADSs or ordinary shares, you will generally be subject
to the special tax rules described above for that year and for each subsequent year in which you hold the ADSs or ordinary shares (even if we do not qualify as a PFIC in any subsequent years).
However, if we cease to be a PFIC, you can avoid the continuing impact of the PFIC rules by making a special election to recognize gain as if your ADSs or ordinary shares had been sold on the last day
of the last taxable year during which we were a PFIC. You are urged to consult your own tax advisor about this&nbsp;election. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
certain circumstances, in lieu of being subject to the special tax rules discussed above, you may make a mark-to-market election with respect to your ADSs or ordinary shares provided
such ADSs or ordinary shares are treated as "marketable stock." The ADSs or ordinary shares generally will be treated as marketable stock if the ADSs or ordinary shares are "regularly traded" on a
"qualified exchange or other market" (within the meaning of the applicable Treasury regulations). Under current law, the mark-to-market election may be available to holders of ADSs if the ADSs are
listed on Nasdaq, which constitutes a qualified exchange, although there can be no assurance that the ADSs will </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
you make an effective mark-to-market election, for each taxable year that we are a PFIC, you will include as ordinary income the excess of the fair market value of your ADSs at the
end of the year over your adjusted basis in the ADSs. You will be entitled to deduct as an ordinary loss in each such year the excess of your adjusted basis in the ADSs over their fair market value at
the end of the year, but only to the extent of the net amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election. If you make an effective mark-to-market election, any gain you

net amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Your
adjusted basis in the ADSs will be increased by the amount of any income inclusion and decreased by the amount of any deductions under the mark-to-market rules. If you make a
mark-to-market election it will be effective for the taxable year for which the election is made and all subsequent taxable years unless the ADSs are no longer regularly traded on a qualified exchange
or other market, or the IRS consents to the revocation of the election. You are urged to consult your tax advisor about the availability of the mark-to-market election, and whether making the election
would be advisable in your particular circumstances. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A
different election, known as the "qualified electing fund" or "QEF" election is generally available to holders of PFIC stock, but requires that the corporation provide the holders with
a "PFIC Annual Information Statement" containing certain information necessary for the election, including the holder's pro&nbsp;rata share of the corporation's earnings and profits and net capital
gains for each taxable year, computed according to United&nbsp;States federal income tax principles. We do not intend, however, to determine our earnings and profits or net capital gain under
United&nbsp;States federal income tax principles, nor do we intend to provide United&nbsp;States Holders with a PFIC Annual Information Statement. Therefore, you should not expect to be eligible
to make this&nbsp;election. </FONT></P>

we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which you hold our ADSs or ordinary shares and any of our non-United&nbsp;States subsidiaries is also a PFIC, you will be treated as owning
a proportionate amount (by&nbsp;value) of the shares of the lower-tier PFIC for purposes of the application of these rules. You are urged to consult your tax advisors about the application of the
PFIC rules to any of our subsidiaries. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You
will generally be required to file IRS Form&nbsp;8621 if you hold our ADSs or ordinary shares in any year in which we are classified as a PFIC. You are urged to consult your tax

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For United&nbsp;States federal income tax purposes, you will recognize taxable gain or loss on any sale or exchange of ADSs or ordinary shares
in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized for the ADSs or ordinary shares and your adjusted basis in the ADSs or ordinary shares. Subject to the discussion under
"&#151;Passive Foreign Investment Company" above, such gain or loss will generally be capital gain or loss and will generally be long-term capital gain or loss if you have held the ADSs or
ordinary shares for more than one year. Long-term capital gains of non-corporate United&nbsp;States Holders (including individuals) are eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of
capital losses is subject to limitations. Any gain or loss recognized by you will generally be treated as United&nbsp;States source gain or loss. However, if we are treated as a PRC resident </FONT></P>

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In general, information reporting will apply to dividends in respect of our ADSs or ordinary shares and the proceeds from the sale, exchange or
other disposition of our ADSs or ordinary shares that are paid to you within the United&nbsp;States (and&nbsp;in certain cases, outside the United&nbsp;States), unless you are an exempt
recipient such as a corporation. A backup withholding tax may
apply to such payments if you fail to provide a taxpayer identification number or certification of other exempt status or fail to report in full dividend and interest income. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Backup
withholding is not an additional tax and any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against your United&nbsp;States federal

officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section&nbsp;16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, we will not be

a company with less than US$1.07&nbsp;billion in revenue for the last fiscal year, we qualify as an "emerging growth company" pursuant to the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company

requirement under Section&nbsp;404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 in the assessment of the emerging growth company's internal control over financial reporting. The JOBS Act also provides that an
emerging growth company does not need to comply with any new or revised financial accounting standards until such date that a private company is otherwise required to comply with such new or revised
accounting standards. However, we have elected to "opt out" of this provision and, as a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards as required when they are adopted for public

1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("US&nbsp;GAAP"). Certain information
and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US&nbsp;GAAP have been condensed or omitted as permitted by rules and regulations of the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December&nbsp;31, 2016 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of GDS Holdings
Limited ("GDS Holdings") and its subsidiaries (collectively, "the Company"). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
balance sheet of the Company as of December&nbsp;31, 2016 and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the
year then ended and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements, included in the Annual Report on Form&nbsp;20-F for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2016, filed with the SEC on
April&nbsp;19, 2017. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
condensed consolidated financial statement are presented in Renminbi ("RMB"), rounded to the nearest thousand. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the financial position as of September&nbsp;30,
2017, and the results of operations and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September&nbsp;30, 2016 and 2017, have been made. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US&nbsp;GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the useful lives of long-lived assets,
the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the consideration transferred in a business combination, the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, the realization of deferred
income tax assets, the fair value of share- based compensation awards, the recoverability of long-lived assets and the fair value of the asset retirement obligation. Changes in facts and circumstances
may result in revised estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and as such, differences may be material to the condensed consolidated financial statements. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contemplate the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The realization
of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business are dependent on, among other things, the Company's ability to operate profitably, to generate cash flows from
operations, and to pursue financing arrangements, including obtaining new bank borrowings or renewing its existing bank borrowings. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Historically,
the Company relied on short-term and long-term borrowings, including borrowings from related parties, and issuance of debt and equity securities, including the Company's
initial public offering, and convertible bonds to fund its working capital and capital expenditure requirements and to meet its obligations and commitments when they become due. </FONT></P>

2 PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of GDS Holdings Limited, its subsidiaries and consolidated variable interest entities
("VIEs") and their subsidiaries for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The VIEs are Beijing Wanguo Chang'an Science and Technology&nbsp;Co.,&nbsp;Ltd. ("GDS Beijing") and Shanghai
Shu'an Data Services&nbsp;Co.,&nbsp;Ltd. ("GDS Shanghai"). </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
certain regions of the People's Republic of China ("PRC"), the Company's operations are conducted through VIEs to comply with the PRC laws and regulations, which prohibit foreign
investments in companies that are engaged in data center related business in those regions. Individuals acting as nominee equity holders hold the legal equity interests of the VIEs on behalf of the
Company. The equity holders of the VIEs are the CEO of the Company and his relative. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under
the terms of the VIE Agreements, the Company has (i)&nbsp;the right to receive service fees on a yearly basis at an amount equivalent to all of the net profits of the VIEs under
the exclusive technology license and services agreements when such services are provided; (ii)&nbsp;the right to receive all dividends declared by the VIEs and the right to all undistributed
earnings of the VIEs; (iii)&nbsp;the right to receive the residual benefits of the VIEs through its exclusive option to acquire 100% of the equity interests in the VIEs, to the extent permitted
under PRC law; and (iv)&nbsp;the right to require each of the shareholder of the VIEs to appoint the PRC citizen(s) as designated by Shanghai Free Trade Zone GDS Management&nbsp;Co.,&nbsp;Ltd.
("GDS Management Company"), a subsidiary of the Company, to act as such shareholder's exclusive attorney-in-fact to exercise all shareholder rights, including, but not limited to, voting on all
matters of the VIEs requiring shareholder approval, disposing of all or part of the shareholder's equity interest in the VIEs, and appointing directors and executive officers. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 810-10-25-38A, the Company has a controlling financial interest in the VIEs because the Company has (i)&nbsp;the power to
direct activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIEs; and (ii)&nbsp;the obligation to absorb the expected losses and the right to receive expected
residual return of the VIEs that could potentially be significant to the VIEs. The terms of the VIE Agreements and the Company's financial
support to the VIEs were considered in determining that the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs. Accordingly, the financial statements of the VIEs are consolidated in the Company's
consolidated financial statements. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under
the terms of the VIE Agreements, the VIEs' equity holders have no rights to the net assets nor have the obligations to fund the deficit, and such rights and obligations have been
vested to the Company. All of the equity (net assets) or deficits (net liabilities) and net income (loss) of the VIEs are attributed to the Company. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company has been advised by its PRC legal counsel that each of the VIE agreements is valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with its terms and applicable PRC laws and the
ownership structure of the VIEs does not violate applicable PRC Laws. However, there are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and future PRC laws and
regulations. There can be no assurance that the PRC authorities will take a view that is not contrary to or otherwise different. If the current ownership structure of the Company and the VIE
Agreements are </FONT></P>

imposition of any of these government actions could result in the termination of the VIE agreements, which would result in the Company losing the (i)&nbsp;ability to direct the

affects any entity that changes the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. This ASU provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award
require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. This ASU is effective for annual or any interim reporting periods beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2017 with early adoption
permitted. The adoption of ASU 2017-09 is not expected to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
January 2017, FASB issued ASU No.&nbsp;2017-04 Intangibles&#151;Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This ASU is to simplify the
subsequent measurement of goodwill. The ASU eliminates step 2 from the goodwill impairment test and the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a
qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting
unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. This ASU should be applied on a prospective basis. This ASU is effective for the Company for its annual or any interim goodwill
impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after
January&nbsp;1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
January 2017, FASB issued ASU No.&nbsp;2017-03, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (Topic 250). The ASU adds SEC disclosure requirements for both the quantitative and
qualitative impacts that certain recently issued accounting standards will have on the financial statements of a registrant when such standards are adopted in a future period. Specially, these
disclosure requirements apply to the adoption of ASU No.&nbsp;2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606); ASU&nbsp;No.&nbsp;2016-02, Leases (Topic 842); and ASU
No.&nbsp;2016-13, Financial Instruments&#151;Credit Losses (Topic&nbsp;326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU is effective immediately. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
January 2017, FASB issued ASU No.&nbsp;2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The ASU affects all companies and other reporting
organizations that must determine whether they have acquired or sold a business. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and
consolidation. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods with early adoption being permitted. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and expects to adopt the standard prospectively on January&nbsp;1, 2018. </FONT></P>

November 2016, FASB issued ASU No.&nbsp;2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. This ASU applies to all entities that have restricted cash or restricted cash
equivalents and are required to present a statement of cash flows. The ASU requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and
amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. This ASU is effective for the Company for its fiscal years beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2017, and interim periods
within those fiscal years with early adoption being permitted. The adoption of ASU 2016-18 is not expected to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements. </FONT></P>

3 RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (Continued) </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
October 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. This ASU requires the recognition of the income tax
consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. This ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim period within those fiscal years, beginning after
December&nbsp;15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
August 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This ASU provides guidance on the classification
of eight cash flow issues to reduce the existing diversification in practice, including (a)&nbsp;debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; (b)&nbsp;settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments
or other debt instruments with
coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; (c)&nbsp;contingent consideration payments made after a business combination;
(d)&nbsp;proceeds from settlement of insurance claims; (e)&nbsp;proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies;
(f)&nbsp;distributions received from equity method investees; (g)&nbsp;beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and (h)&nbsp;separately identifiable cash flows and application of the
predominance principle. The ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim period within those fiscal years, beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASU 2016-02"). Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize the following for all leases (with the
exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: (1)&nbsp;a lease liability, which is a lessee's obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and
(2)&nbsp;a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee's right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is
largely unchanged. Certain targeted improvements were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new
lease guidance simplified the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and
lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest
comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period
presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2018, including interim periods
within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. While the Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements,
the Company believes this standard will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements due, in part, to the substantial amount of leases it has. </FONT></P>

3 RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (Continued)  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU&nbsp;2014-09") Topic 606 and issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance in August 2015,
March 2016, April 2016 and May 2016 within ASU 2015-14, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-12 and ASU 2016-20, respectively (ASU 2014-09, ASU 2015-14, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU&nbsp;2016-11, ASU
2016-12 and ASU 2016-20 collectively, Topic 606). Topic 606 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S.&nbsp;GAAP. The core principle of Topic 606 is that an entity should
recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount that it expects to be entitled to receive for those goods or services. Topic 606 requires additional disclosure about the
nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Topic
606 allows entities to adopt with one of these two methods: full retrospective, which applies retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented, or modified retrospective,
which recognizes the cumulative effect of initially applying the revenue standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of initial application. The Company
currently anticipates adopting the standard using the modified retrospective method. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Topic
606, as amended, is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2017, including interim reporting periods therein (i.e.,&nbsp;January&nbsp;1,
2018, for a calendar year entity). Early application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that
reporting period. The Company will adopt the standard on January&nbsp;1, 2018. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;While
the Company is continuing to evaluate all potential impacts of the standard, the Company does not believe the adoption of Topic 606 is going to have a significant impact on its
consolidated financial statements. </FONT></P>

12 SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION (Continued) </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
of December&nbsp;31, 2016 and September&nbsp;30, 2017, 600,000 and 433,333 forfeitable and unvested non-employee options, respectively, were treated as unissued for accounting
purposes and were not included in the table above. As of September&nbsp;30, 2017, there were no unvested employee stock options. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
July 2017, the Company granted 13,475,060 non-vested restricted shares to employees, officers and directors. The restricted share awards contained service and market conditions, or
service and
performance conditions which are tied to the financial performance of the Company. The value of the restricted shares is determined based on the fair value as of the acquisition date, on which all
criteria for establishing the grant dates were satisfied. The value of restricted shares with service condition attached is recognized as compensation expense using the graded-vesting method. The
value of the restricted shares with performance conditions attached is recognized as compensation expense using the graded-vesting method only when the achievement of performance conditions becomes
probable. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
May and August 2017, the Company issued 396,800 fully vested restricted shares to its directors to settle a portion of their remuneration for services provided by the directors, which
had been recorded in general and administrative expenses. The number of restricted shares issued was determined by the fair value of the restricted shares on the date of settlement and the
share-settled portion of the liability of RMB2,913. Upon issuance of the shares to settle the obligation, equity is increased by the amount of the liability settled in shares and no additional
share-based compensation expense was recorded. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A
summary of the restricted share activity is as follows: </FONT></P>

any of the securities offered&nbsp;hereby. </FONT></P>

prospectus supplement. For a more complete description of the plan of distribution of these securities, see the section entitled "Plan of Distribution" beginning on page&nbsp;35 of this prospectus. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are a leading developer and operator of high-performance data centers in China. Our facilities are strategically located in China's primary
economic hubs where demand for high-performance data center services is concentrated. Our data centers have large net floor area, high power capacity, density and efficiency, and multiple redundancy
across all critical systems. We are carrier and cloud neutral, which enables our customers to connect to all major PRC telecommunications carriers, and to access a number of the largest PRC cloud
service providers, whom we host in our facilities. We offer colocation and managed services, including direct private connection to major cloud platforms. We have a 17-year track record of service
delivery, successfully fulfilling the requirements of some of the largest and most demanding customers for outsourced data center services in China. Our base of approximately 500&nbsp;customers
consists predominantly of hyper-scale Cloud service providers, large Internet companies, financial institutions, telecommunications and IT service providers, and large domestic private sector and
multinational corporations. As of September&nbsp;30, 2017, we had an aggregate net floor area of 77,832&nbsp;sqm in service, 89.8% of which was committed, and an aggregate net floor area of
37,478&nbsp;sqm under construction, 34.6% of which was pre-committed. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
believe the market for high-performance data center services in China is experiencing strong growth. Demand is driven by the confluence of several secular economic and industry
trends, including: rapid growth of the Internet, e-commerce, e-payments and big data; rising adoption of Cloud computing and server virtualization, which requires data centers with higher power
capacity, density and efficiency; increasing criticality of information technology and data in the enterprise environment which requires data centers with higher reliability; and growing reliance by
enterprises on outsourcing as a solution to the increasing complexity and cost of managing mission-critical IT infrastructure. We believe that, as a result of this strong demand and the challenges of
sourcing, developing and operating new facilities that meet the required standard, there is a relative scarcity of high-performance data center capacity in China. In addition to our core markets, we
have recently commenced construction of build-to-suit data centers for one of our largest customers, Alibaba, at a low-cost location in North&nbsp;China. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
portfolio of data centers and secured expansion capacity are strategically located to address this growing demand. We operate our data centers to service our customers predominantly
in Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Chengdu and Hong Kong, the primary financial, commercial, industrial and communications hubs in each region of China. Our data centers are located in close
proximity to the corporate headquarters and key operation centers of many large enterprises, providing convenient access for our customers. Furthermore, the extensive multi-carrier telecommunications
networks in these markets enable our customers to enhance the performance and lower the cost of connectivity to our&nbsp;facilities. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
data centers are large-scale, highly reliable and highly efficient facilities that provide a flexible, modular and secure operating environment in which our customers can house,
power and cool the computer systems and networking equipment that support their mission-critical IT infrastructure. We install large power capacity and optimize power usage efficiency, which enables
our customers to deploy
their IT infrastructure more efficiently and reduce their operating and capital costs. As a result of our advanced data center design, high technical specifications and robust operating procedures, we
are able to make service level commitments related to service availability and other key metrics that meet our customers' required standards. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
currently serve approximately 500&nbsp;customers, including large Internet companies, a diverse community of approximately 250&nbsp;financial institutions, telecommunications and
IT service providers and large domestic private sector and multinational corporations, many of which are leaders in their respective industries. Within our customer base, we host a number of major
cloud platforms, including Ali Cloud and Tencent Cloud, which are each present in several of our data centers. Contracts with our large Internet and hyper-scale cloud customers have terms of three to
ten years, while contracts with our enterprise customers typically have terms of one to five years. </FONT></P>

a foreign private issuer, we are exempt under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, from, among other things, the rules prescribing the furnishing and content of
proxy statements, and our executive officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section&nbsp;16 of the
Exchange Act. In addition, we will not be required under the Exchange Act to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S.&nbsp;companies whose
securities are registered under the Exchange Act. However, we intend to furnish the depositary with our annual reports, which will include a review of operations and annual audited consolidated
financial statements prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United&nbsp;States, and all notices of shareholders' meeting and other reports and communications
that are made generally available to our shareholders. The depositary will make such notices, reports and communications available to holders of ADSs and will mail to all record holders of ADSs the
information contained in any notice of a shareholders' meeting received by the depositary from&nbsp;us. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
a company with less than US$1.07&nbsp;billion in revenue for the last fiscal year, we qualify as an "emerging growth company" pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of
2012, or the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions
include exemption from the auditor attestation requirement under Section&nbsp;404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, in the assessment of the emerging growth company's internal control over
financial reporting. The JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company does not need to comply with any new or revised financial accounting standards until such date that a private company is
otherwise required to comply with such new or revised accounting standards. However, we have elected to "opt out" of this provision and, as a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting
standards as required when they are adopted for public companies. This decision to opt out of the extended transition period under the JOBS Act is&nbsp;irrevocable. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (a)&nbsp;the last day of our fiscal year during which we have total annual gross revenues of at least
US$1.07&nbsp;billion; (b)&nbsp;December&nbsp;31, 2021; (c)&nbsp;the date on which we have, during the previous three year period, issued more than US$1.0&nbsp;billion in non-convertible
debt; or (d)&nbsp;the date on which we are deemed to be a "large accelerated filer" under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our ADSs that are held by non-affiliates exceeds
US$700&nbsp;million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter. Once we cease to be an emerging growth company, we will not be entitled to the exemptions
provided in the JOBS Act discussed above. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As

or six, of our directors; and (ii)&nbsp;any change to our articles of association that would adversely affect the rights of Class&nbsp;B shareholders. With respect to any other matters
at general meetings of our shareholders, each Class&nbsp;A ordinary share is entitled to one vote, and each Class&nbsp;B ordinary share is entitled to one vote. Class&nbsp;B ordinary shares are
convertible into Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares, and will automatically convert into Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares under certain circumstances. Any Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares which Class&nbsp;B
shareholders acquire will be converted into Class&nbsp;B ordinary shares. See "Description of Share Capital&#151;Ordinary Shares&#151;Conversion" of our Registration Statement on
Form&nbsp;F-1 originally filed with the SEC on October&nbsp;4, 2016, as amended (File No.&nbsp;333-213951). </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Voting
at any meeting of shareholders is by way of a poll, unless the chairman allows a vote by show of hands on a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative
matter. Procedural and administrative matters are those that are not on the agenda of the general meeting and relate to the chairman's duties to maintain the orderly conduct of the meeting or allow
the business of the meeting to be properly and effectively dealt with, while affording all shareholders a reasonable opportunity to express their&nbsp;views. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pursuant
to our amended articles of association the following matters will be subject to ordinary resolution of the shareholders, with Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares and Class&nbsp;B
ordinary shares each being entitled to one vote per share: (i)&nbsp;the election of two independent directors nominated by our nominating and corporate governance committee; (ii)&nbsp;any
allotment or issuance of any of our shares or securities (in&nbsp;any 12-month period, whether in a single transaction or a series of transactions) equal to 10% or more of our share capital, or 10%
or more of our voting power, prior to such allotment or issuance (without regard to any exemption from shareholder approval available under the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules); and (iii)&nbsp;any
disposition of all, or 10% or more, of our undertakings or assets, as defined in our amended articles of&nbsp;association. </FONT></P>

to the abovementioned matters at general meetings of shareholders with respect to which Class&nbsp;B ordinary shares are entitled to 20&nbsp;votes per share, an ordinary
resolution to be passed by the shareholders requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of votes attached to the ordinary shares cast in a general meeting, while a special resolution requires
the affirmative vote of no less than 75% of votes cast attached to the ordinary shares. A special resolution will be required for important matters such as a change of name or making changes to our
memorandum and articles of&nbsp;association. </FONT></P>

the businesses carried out, or contemplated to be carried out, by us in the PRC, be owned or controlled by PRC nationals or entities; (iv)&nbsp;the promulgation of the Foreign Investment Law as it
relates to VIE entities is abandoned by the relevant authorities in the PRC; or (v)&nbsp;the relevant authorities in the PRC approve our VIE structure without the need for our VIE entities to be

applicable foreign ownership restrictions under PRC law. Class&nbsp;B shareholders may elect to convert any or all of their Class&nbsp;B ordinary shares into Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares. Each

General Meetings of Shareholders  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Shareholders' meetings may be convened by a majority of our board of directors or our chairman. Advance notice of at least ten clear days is
required for the convening of our annual general shareholders' meeting and any other general meeting of our shareholders. A quorum required for a meeting of shareholders consists of at least two
shareholders present or by proxy, representing not less than one-third in nominal value of the total issued voting shares in our&nbsp;company. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cayman
Islands law provides shareholders with only limited rights to requisition a general meeting, and does not provide shareholders with any right to put any proposal before a general
meeting. However, these rights may be provided in a company's articles of association. Our memorandum and articles of association allows our Class&nbsp;A shareholders (excluding STT GDC and its
controlled affiliates) holding shares representing in aggregate not less than one-third of the issued and outstanding Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares of our company (calculated excluding Class&nbsp;A
ordinary shares beneficially owned by STT GDC or its controlled affiliates), to requisition an extraordinary general meeting of our shareholders, in which case our directors are obliged to call such
meeting and to put the resolutions so requisitioned to a vote at such meeting; however, our memorandum and articles of association does not provide our shareholders with any right to put any proposals
before annual general meetings or extraordinary
general meetings not called by such shareholders. When STT GDC no longer has any director appointment right as described herein, STT GDC will be eligible for the same right to requisition a
shareholder meeting described above on the same terms as other Class&nbsp;A ordinary shareholders, where the one-third of the Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares will then be calculated based upon all
Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares issued and outstanding. STT GDC and the Class&nbsp;B shareholders also have the right to requisition a general meeting insofar as is necessary to exercise and protect
their respective nomination and appointment rights. </FONT></P>

Mergers and Similar Arrangements.  </I></B></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A merger of two or more constituent companies under Cayman Islands law requires a plan of merger or consolidation to be approved by the
directors of each constituent company and authorization by a special resolution of the members of each constituent company. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A
merger between a Cayman parent company and its Cayman subsidiary or subsidiaries does not require authorization by a resolution of shareholders. For this purpose a subsidiary is a
company of which at least ninety percent (90%) of the issued shares entitled to vote are owned by the parent&nbsp;company. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
consent of each holder of a fixed or floating security interest over a constituent company is required unless this requirement is waived by a court in the Cayman&nbsp;Islands. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Save
in certain circumstances, a dissentient shareholder of a Cayman constituent company is entitled to payment of the fair value of his shares upon dissenting to a merger or
consolidation. The exercise of appraisal rights will preclude the exercise of any other rights save for the right to seek relief on the grounds that the merger or consolidation is void
or&nbsp;unlawful. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
addition, there are statutory provisions that facilitate the reconstruction and amalgamation of companies, provided that the arrangement is approved by a majority in number of each
class of shareholders and creditors (representing 75% by value) with whom the arrangement is to be made, and who must, in addition, represent three-fourths in value of each such class of shareholders
or creditors, as the case may be, that are present and voting either in person or by proxy at a meeting, or meetings, convened for that purpose. The convening of the meetings and subsequently the
arrangement must be sanctioned by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands. While a dissenting shareholder has the right to express to the court the view that the transaction ought not to be approved,

Indemnification of Directors and Executive Officers and Limitation of Liability.  </I></B></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company's articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and
directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences
of committing a crime. Our memorandum and articles of association permit indemnification of officers and directors for losses, damages, costs and expenses incurred in their capacities as such unless
such losses or damages arise from dishonesty or fraud which may attach to such directors or officers. This standard of conduct is generally the same as permitted under the Delaware General Corporation
Law for a Delaware corporation. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and senior executive officers that provide such persons with additional indemnification
beyond that provided in our memorandum and articles of&nbsp;association. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or persons controlling us under the foregoing provisions, we have
been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. </FONT></P>

Directors' Fiduciary Duties.  </I></B></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its shareholders. This duty has
two components: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent person would exercise under similar
circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to shareholders, all material information reasonably available regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty
requires that a director act in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation. He or she must not use his or her corporate position for personal gain or
advantage. This duty prohibits self-dealing by a director and mandates that the best interest of the corporation and its shareholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer
or controlling shareholder and not shared by the shareholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief
that the action taken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should such evidence be presented
concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fair value to the corporation. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
a matter of Cayman Islands law, a director of a Cayman Islands company is in the position of a fiduciary with respect to the company and therefore it is considered that he owes the
following duties to the company&#151;a duty to act bona&nbsp;fide in the best interests of the company, a duty not to make a profit based on his or her position as director (unless the
company permits him to do so) and a duty not to put himself in a position where the interests of the company conflict with his or her personal interest or his or her duty to a third party. A director
of a Cayman Islands company owes 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 or her duties a greater
degree of skill than may reasonably be expected from a person of his or her knowledge and experience. However, English 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&nbsp;Islands. </FONT></P>

to cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled on a single director, which increases the shareholder's voting power with respect to electing such director. As permitted under Cayman
Islands law, our articles of association do not provide for cumulative voting. As a result, our shareholders are not afforded any less protections or rights on this issue than shareholders of a

Transactions with Interested Shareholders.  </I></B></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Delaware General Corporation Law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware corporations whereby, unless the corporation
has specifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation, it is prohibited from engaging in certain business combinations with an "interested
shareholder" for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholder generally is a person or a group who or which owns or owned 15% or more of
the target's outstanding voting stock within the past three years. This has the effect of limiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a two-tiered bid for the target in which all shareholders
would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if, among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the board of directors approves either
the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquirer of a Delaware corporation to negotiate the terms of
any acquisition transaction with the target's board of&nbsp;directors. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cayman
Islands law has no comparable statute. As a result, we cannot avail ourselves of the types of protections afforded by the Delaware business combination statute. However, although
Cayman Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, it does provide that such transactions must be entered into bona&nbsp;fide in the best interests
of the company and for a proper corporate purpose and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on the minority shareholders. </FONT></P>

Dissolution; Winding Up.  </I></B></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by
shareholders holding 100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of the corporation's
outstanding shares. Delaware law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority voting requirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board.
Under Cayman Islands law, a company may be wound up by either an order of the courts of the Cayman Islands or by a special resolution of its members or, if the company is unable to pay its debts as
they fall due, by an ordinary resolution of its members. The court has authority to order winding up in a number of specified circumstances including where it is, in the opinion of the court, just and
equitable to do&nbsp;so. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under
the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands and our articles of association, our company may be dissolved, liquidated or wound up by the vote of holders of two-thirds of our shares
voting at a meeting or the unanimous written resolution of all shareholders. </FONT></P>

one class of shares, we may vary the rights attached to any class only with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a general meeting of the holders of the shares of that&nbsp;class. </FONT></P>

American Depositary Receipts  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as depositary will issue the ADSs which you will be entitled to receive in this offering. Each ADS will represent an
ownership interest a designated number of Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares which we will deposit with the custodian, as agent of the depositary, under the deposit agreement among ourselves, the
depositary and yourself as a holder of American depository receipts, or ADRs. In the future, each ADS will also represent any securities, cash or other property
deposited with the depositary but which they have not distributed directly to you. Unless certificated ADRs are specifically requested by you, all ADSs will be issued on the books of our depositary in
book-entry form and periodic statements will be mailed to you which reflect your ownership interest in such ADSs. In our description, references to American depositary receipts or ADRs shall include
the statements you will receive which reflect your ownership of&nbsp;ADSs. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
depositary's office is located at 4&nbsp;New&nbsp;York Plaza, Floor 12, New&nbsp;York, NY,&nbsp;10004. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You
may hold ADSs either directly or indirectly through your broker or other financial institution. If you hold ADSs directly, by having an ADS registered in your name on the books of
the depositary, you are an ADR holder. This description assumes you hold your ADSs directly. If you hold the ADSs through your broker or financial institution nominee, you must rely on the procedures
of such broker or financial institution to assert the rights of an ADR holder described in this section. You should consult with your broker or financial institution to find out what those
procedures&nbsp;are. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
an ADR holder, we will not treat you as a shareholder of ours and you will not have any shareholder rights. Cayman Island law governs shareholder rights. Because the depositary or its
nominee will be the shareholder of record for the Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares represented by all outstanding ADSs, shareholder rights rest with such record holder. Your rights are those of an ADR
holder. Such rights derive from the terms of the deposit agreement to be entered into among us, the depositary and all registered holders from time to time of ADSs issued under the deposit agreement.
The obligations of the depositary and its agents are also set out in the deposit agreement. Because the depositary or its nominee will actually be the registered owner of the Class&nbsp;A ordinary
shares, you must rely on it to exercise the rights of a shareholder on your behalf. The deposit agreement and the ADSs are governed by New&nbsp;York law. Under the deposit agreement, as an ADR
holder, you agree that any legal suit, action or proceeding against or involving us or the depositary, arising out of or based upon the deposit agreement, the ADSs or the transactions contemplated
thereby, may only be instituted in a state or federal court in New&nbsp;York, New&nbsp;York, and you irrevocably waive any objection which you may have to the laying of venue of any such
proceeding and irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or&nbsp;proceeding. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
following is a summary of what we believe to be the material terms of the deposit agreement. Notwithstanding this, because it is a summary, it may not contain all the information
that you may otherwise deem important. For more complete information, you should read the entire deposit agreement and the form of ADR which contains the terms of your ADSs. You can read a copy of the
deposit agreement which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms&nbsp;a part. You may also obtain a copy of the deposit agreement at the SEC's Public
Reference Room which is located at 100&nbsp;F Street, NE, Washington, DC 20549. You may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-732-0330. You may
also find the registration statement and the attached deposit agreement on the SEC's website at </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>http://www.sec.gov</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>. </FONT></P>

my&nbsp;ADSs?  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We may make various types of distributions with respect to our securities. The depositary has agreed that, to the extent practicable, it will
pay to you the cash dividends or other distributions it or the custodian receives on shares or other deposited securities, after converting any cash received into U.S.&nbsp;dollars (if&nbsp;it
determines such conversion may be made on a reasonable basis) and, in all cases, making any necessary deductions provided for in the deposit agreement. The depositary may utilize a division, branch or
affiliate of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. to direct, manage and/or execute any public and/or private sale of securities under the deposit agreement. Such division, branch and/or affiliate may charge the
depositary a fee in connection with such sales, which fee is considered an expense of the depositary. You will receive these distributions in proportion to the number of underlying securities that
your ADSs&nbsp;represent. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Except

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The depositary will issue ADSs if you or your broker deposit Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares or evidence of rights to receive Class&nbsp;A
ordinary shares with the custodian and pay the fees and expenses owing to the depositary in connection with such issuance. In the case of the ADSs to be issued under this prospectus, we will arrange

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Class&nbsp;A
ordinary shares deposited in the future with the custodian must be accompanied by certain delivery documentation and shall, at the time of such deposit, be registered in

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
custodian will hold all deposited shares (including those being deposited by or on our behalf in connection with the offering to which this prospectus relates) for the account and to
the order of the depositary. ADR holders thus have no direct ownership interest in the Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares and only have such rights as are contained in the deposit agreement. The custodian
will also hold any additional securities, property and cash received on or in substitution for the deposited Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares. The deposited Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares and any such
additional items are referred to as "deposited securities". </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Upon

shares or other deposited securities, to vote or to have its agents vote the Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares or other deposited securities as you instruct. The depositary will only vote or attempt to

as the ADR department responsible for proxies and voting has received such instructions notwithstanding that such instructions may have been physically received by the depositary prior to such time.
The depositary will not itself exercise any voting discretion. Furthermore, neither the depositary nor its agents are responsible for any failure to carry out any voting instructions, for the manner
in which any vote is cast or for the effect of any vote. Notwithstanding anything contained in the deposit agreement or any ADR, the depositary may, to the extent not prohibited by law or regulations,
or by the requirements of the stock exchange on which the ADSs are listed, in lieu of distribution of the materials provided to the depositary in connection with any meeting of, or solicitation of
consents or proxies from, holders of deposited securities, distribute to the registered holders of ADRs a notice that provides such holders with, or otherwise publicizes to such holders, instructions
on how to retrieve such materials or receive such materials upon request (i.e.,&nbsp;by reference to a website containing the materials for retrieval or a contact for requesting copies of

shareholders is by show of hands unless a poll is (before or on the declaration of the results of the show of hands)
demanded. In the event that voting on any resolution or matter is conducted on a show of hands basis in accordance with our constituent documents, the depositary will refrain from voting and the
voting instructions received by the depositary from holders shall lapse. The depositary will not demand a poll or join in demanding a poll, whether or not requested to do so by holders of ADSs. There
is no guarantee that you will receive voting materials in time to instruct the depositary to vote and it is possible that you, or persons who hold their ADSs through brokers, dealers or other third
parties, will not have the opportunity to exercise a right to&nbsp;vote. </FONT></P>

any registration, registration of transfer, split-up or combination of deposited securities or withdrawal of deposited securities until such payment is made. If any tax or governmental charge is
required to be withheld on any cash distribution, the depositary may deduct the amount required to be withheld from any cash distribution or, in the case of a non-cash distribution, sell the
distributed property or securities (by&nbsp;public or private sale) in such amounts and in such manner as the depositary deems necessary and practicable to pay such taxes and distribute any

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We may agree with the depositary to amend the deposit agreement and the ADSs without your consent for any reason. ADR holders must be given at
least 30&nbsp;days notice of any amendment that imposes or increases any fees or charges (other than stock transfer or other taxes and other governmental charges, transfer or registration fees,
SWIFT, cable, telex or facsimile transmission costs, delivery costs or other such expenses), or otherwise prejudices any substantial existing right of ADR holders. Such notice need not describe in
detail the specific amendments effectuated thereby, but must identify to ADR holders a means to access the text of such amendment. If an ADR holder continues to hold an ADR or ADRs after being so
notified, such ADR holder is deemed to agree to such amendment and to be bound by the deposit agreement as so amended. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any governmental body or regulatory body should
adopt new laws, rules or regulations which would require amendment or supplement of the deposit agreement or the form of ADR to ensure compliance therewith, we and the depositary may amend or
supplement the deposit agreement and the ADR at any time in accordance with such changed laws, rules or regulations, which amendment or supplement may take effect before a notice is given or within
any other period of time as required for compliance. No amendment, however, will impair your right to surrender your ADSs and receive the underlying securities, except in order to comply with

were issued under (i)&nbsp;above but for which shares may not have been received (each such transaction a "pre-release"). The depositary may receive ADSs in lieu of Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares
under (i)&nbsp;above (which ADSs will promptly be canceled by the depositary upon receipt by the depositary) and receive Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares in lieu of ADSs under (ii)&nbsp;above. Each
such pre-release will be subject to a written agreement whereby the person or entity (the&nbsp;"applicant") to whom ADSs or Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares are to be delivered (a)&nbsp;represents
that at the time of the pre-release the applicant or its customer owns the Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares or ADSs that are to be delivered by the applicant under such pre-release, (b)&nbsp;agrees to
indicate the depositary as owner of such Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares or ADSs in its records and to hold such Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares or ADSs in trust for the depositary until such
Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares or ADSs are delivered to the depositary or the custodian, (c)&nbsp;unconditionally guarantees to deliver to the depositary or the custodian, as applicable, such
Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares or ADSs, and (d)&nbsp;agrees to any additional restrictions or requirements that the depositary deems appropriate. Each such pre-release will be at all times fully
collateralized with cash, U.S.&nbsp;government securities or such other collateral as the depositary deems appropriate, terminable by the depositary on not more than five (5)&nbsp;business days'
notice and subject to such further indemnities and credit regulations as the depositary deems appropriate. The depositary will normally
limit the number of ADSs and Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares involved in such pre-release at any one time to thirty percent (30%) of the ADSs outstanding (without giving effect to ADSs outstanding
under (i)&nbsp;above), provided, however, that the depositary reserves the right to change or disregard such limit from time to time as it deems appropriate. The depositary may also set limits with
respect to the number of ADSs and Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares involved in pre-release with any one person on a case-by-case basis as it deems appropriate. The depositary may retain for its own
account any compensation received by it in conjunction with the foregoing. Collateral provided in connection with pre-release transactions, but not the earnings thereon, shall be held for the benefit
of the ADR holders (other than the&nbsp;applicant). </FONT></P>

(i)&nbsp;any action based on the deposit agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby may be instituted by the depositary in any competent court in the Cayman Islands, Hong Kong, the People's

controversy, claim, dispute, legal suit or proceeding brought against the depositary by any party or parties to the deposit agreement (including, without limitation, by ADR holders and owners of

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability. We are incorporated in the Cayman
Islands because of certain benefits associated with being a Cayman Islands corporation, such as political and economic stability, an effective judicial system, a favorable tax system, the absence of
foreign exchange control or currency restrictions and the availability of professional and support services. However, the Cayman Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to the
United&nbsp;States and provides protections for investors to a lesser extent. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to sue before the federal courts of the
United&nbsp;States. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Substantially
all of our operations are conducted in China, and substantially all of our assets are located in China. In addition, most of our directors and officers are residents of
jurisdictions other than the United&nbsp;States and all or a substantial portion of their assets are located outside the United&nbsp;States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to
effect service of process within the United&nbsp;States upon us
or these persons, or to enforce against us or them judgments obtained in United&nbsp;States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the
United&nbsp;States or any state in the United&nbsp;States. It may also be difficult for you to enforce in United&nbsp;States courts judgments obtained in United&nbsp;States courts based on the
civil liability provisions of the United&nbsp;States federal securities laws against us and our officers and&nbsp;directors. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have appointed Law Debenture Corporate Services&nbsp;Inc. as our agent to receive service of process with respect to any action brought against us in the United&nbsp;States
District Court for the Southern District of New&nbsp;York under the federal securities laws of the United&nbsp;States or of any state in the United&nbsp;States or any action brought against us
in the Supreme Court of the State of New&nbsp;York in the County of New&nbsp;York under the securities laws of the State of New&nbsp;York. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Conyers
Dill&nbsp;&amp; Pearman, our counsel as to Cayman Islands law, and King&nbsp;&amp; Wood Mallesons, our counsel as to PRC law, have advised us that there is uncertainty as to whether
the courts of the Cayman Islands or the PRC would, respectively, (1)&nbsp;recognize or enforce judgments of United&nbsp;States courts obtained against us or our directors or officers predicated
upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United&nbsp;States or any state in the United&nbsp;States and (2)&nbsp;entertain original actions brought in the Cayman Islands
or the PRC against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the securities laws of the United&nbsp;States or any state in the United&nbsp;States. </FONT></P>

Dill&nbsp;&amp; Pearman has informed us that the uncertainty with regard to Cayman Islands law relates to whether a judgment obtained from the United&nbsp;States courts under the
civil liability provisions of the securities laws will be determined by the courts of the Cayman Islands as penal or punitive in nature. If such a determination is made, the courts of the Cayman
Islands will not recognize or enforce the judgment against a Cayman company. Because the courts of the Cayman Islands have yet to rule on whether such judgments are penal or punitive in nature, it is
uncertain whether they would be enforceable in the Cayman Islands. Conyers Dill&nbsp;&amp; Pearman has further advised us that a final and conclusive judgment in the federal or state courts of the
United&nbsp;States under which a sum of money is payable, other than a sum payable in respect of taxes, fines, penalties or similar charges, may be subject to enforcement proceedings as a debt in
the courts of the Cayman Islands under the common law doctrine of&nbsp;obligation. </FONT></P>

Cayman Islands will generally recognize as a valid judgment, a final and conclusive judgment in personam obtained in the federal or state courts in the United&nbsp;States under which a sum of money
is payable (other than a sum of money payable in respect of multiple damages, taxes or other charges of a like nature or in respect of a fine or other penalty) and would give a judgment based thereon

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;King&nbsp;&amp;
Wood Mallesons has advised us that the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments are provided for under the PRC Civil Procedure Law. PRC courts may recognize and
enforce foreign judgments in accordance with the requirements of the PRC Civil Procedure Law based either on treaties between China and the country where the judgment is made or on principles of
reciprocity between jurisdictions. King&nbsp;&amp; Wood Mallesons has advised us further that under PRC law, a foreign judgment, which does not otherwise violate basic legal principles, state
sovereignty, safety or social public interest, may be recognized and enforced by a PRC court, based either on treaties between China and the country where the judgment is made or on principles of
reciprocity between jurisdictions. As there exists no treaty or other form of reciprocal arrangement between China and the United&nbsp;States governing the recognition and enforcement of judgments
as of the date of this registration statement, including those predicated upon the liability provisions of the United&nbsp;States federal securities laws, there is uncertainty on whether and on what
basis a PRC court will recognize or enforce a judgment ruled by a United&nbsp;States&nbsp;court. </FONT></P>

Sale through underwriters or dealers  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If underwriters are used in the sale, the underwriters will acquire the securities for their own account, including through underwriting,
purchase, security lending or repurchase agreements. The underwriters may resell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions. Underwriters may sell
the securities in order to facilitate transactions in any of our other securities (described in this prospectus or otherwise), including other public or private transactions and short sales.
Underwriters may offer securities to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more firms acting as underwriters. Unless
otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to certain conditions, and the underwriters will be obligated to
purchase all the offered securities if they purchase any of them. The underwriters may change from time to time any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid
to dealers. The prospectus supplement will include the names of the principal underwriters the respective amount of securities underwritten, the nature of the obligation of the underwriters to take
the securities and the nature of any material relationship between an underwriter and&nbsp;us. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
dealers are used in the sale of securities offered through this prospectus, we will sell the securities to them as principals. They may then resell those securities to the public at

Market making, stabilization and other transactions  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Unless the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise or the shares are offered by the selling shareholders, each series of offered
securities will be a new issue and will have no established trading market. We may elect to list any series of offered securities on an exchange. Any underwriters that we and the selling shareholders
use in the sale of offered securities may make a market in such securities, but may discontinue such market making at any time without notice. Therefore, we cannot assure you that the securities will
have a liquid trading&nbsp;market. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any
underwriter may also engage in stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Rule&nbsp;104 under the Exchange Act. Stabilizing
transactions involve bids to purchase the underlying security in the open market for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the securities. Syndicate covering transactions involve
purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Penalty
bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the securities originally sold by the syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate
covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions. Stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would be
in the absence of the transactions. The underwriters may, if they commence these transactions, discontinue them at any&nbsp;time. </FONT></P>

Derivative transactions and hedging  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We, the selling shareholders, the underwriters or other agents may engage in derivative transactions involving the securities. These derivatives
may consist of short sale transactions and other hedging activities. The underwriters or agents may acquire a long or short position in the securities, hold or resell securities acquired and purchase
options or futures on the securities and other derivative instruments with returns linked to or related to changes in the price of the securities. In order to facilitate these derivative transactions,
we may enter into security lending or repurchase agreements with the underwriters or agents. The underwriters or agents may effect the derivative transactions through sales of the securities to the
public, including short sales, or by lending the securities in order to facilitate short sale transactions by others. The underwriters or agents may also use the securities purchased or borrowed from
us, the selling shareholders or others (or, in the case of derivatives, securities received from us or the selling shareholders in settlement of those derivatives) to directly or indirectly settle
sales of the securities or close out any related open borrowings of the&nbsp;securities. </FONT></P>

Electronic auctions  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We and the selling shareholders may also make sales through the Internet or through other electronic means. Since we and the selling
shareholders may from time to time elect to offer securities directly to the public, with or without the involvement of agents, underwriters or dealers, utilizing the Internet or other forms of
electronic bidding or ordering systems for the pricing and allocation of such securities, you should pay particular attention to the description of that system we will provide in a prospectus
supplement. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Such
electronic system may allow bidders to directly participate, through electronic access to an auction site, by submitting conditional offers to buy that are subject to acceptance by
us, and which may directly affect the price or other terms and conditions at which such securities are sold. These bidding or ordering systems may present to each bidder, on a so-called "real-time"
basis, relevant information to assist in making a bid, such as the clearing spread at which the offering would be sold, based on the bids submitted, and whether a bidder's individual bids would be
accepted, prorated or rejected. Of course, many pricing methods can and may also be&nbsp;used. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Upon
completion of such an electronic auction process, securities will be allocated based on prices bid, terms of bid or other factors. The final offering price at which securities would
