Ratings (&#147;S&amp;P&#148;) with stable outlook, which reflects S&amp;P&#146;s belief that Noah will be able to maintain its market position, prudent risk management practices, and limited financial liabilities in the next <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">12-24</FONT> months. Upon receipt of this rating, Noah has become the first Chinese wealth management company to be rated investment grade by S&amp;P. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;The investment grade rating received by Noah is evidence of our commitment to financial stability and risk management prudence at a time when the
Company is growing rapidly. S&amp;P&#146;s review further validated our pledge to only distribute and manage products with no guaranteed returns or undue leverage, which differentiates Noah from many of its peers, and we also believe this effort
supports the long-term development of the broader wealth management and asset management industries in China,&#148; said Kenny Lam, Group President of Noah. &#147;We see this as an excellent step forward for Noah.&#148; </P>
