On July 31, 2014, Sound Treasure Limited, the Company’s largest shareholder and an affiliate of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, entered into a three party agreement (the “Novation”) with the financial institution that originated the foreign currency transaction agreements and the Company. Under the Novation, Sound Treasure Limited assumed these agreements and all assets (mainly deposits placed with the financial institution) and all existing and future liabilities arising under these agreements, and the Company was released from the liabilities arising under the foreign currency transaction agreements. As a result, after July 31, 2014, the Company is no longer required to fund any losses related to these agreements, and the Company will neither suffer any future liabilities arising under those agreements nor enjoy any benefit arising under those agreements. At the time that each of the foreign currency transaction agreements was established with the financial institution, the Company was required to deposit monies with the financial institution. RMB 6.7 million of a total of RMB 15.6 million in deposits were funded on behalf of the Company by Wong Kung Tok (who is the brother-in-law of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer) at the request of the Chief Executive Officer, and were included in a total of RMB 40.2 million in loans owed by the Company to Wong Kung Tok as of July 9, 2014. In connection with the Novation discussed above, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Sound Treasure Limited and Wong Kung Tok entered into an agreement with the Company (the “Offset Agreement”) pursuant to which loans totaling RMB 20.7 million owed by the Company to Wong Kung Tok as of the date of the Offset Agreement were transferred to Sound Treasure Limited and then were forgiven by Sound Treasure Limited; and in return the Company agreed to forego any claim to RMB 15.6 million in deposits under the foreign currency transaction agreements which were transferred to Sound Treasure Limited pursuant to the Novation. As a result of these transactions, Sound Treasure Limited released the Company from liabilities aggregating RMB 76.8 million and the Company transferred ownership of RMB 15.6 million in deposits held at the financial institution from the Company to Sound Treasure Limited. Except as disclosed above, neither the Company’s Chief Executive Officer nor any affiliate of the Chief Executive Officer received any remuneration for agreeing to assume the foreign currency transaction agreements. The material terms of the Novation and the Sound Treasure Agreement were reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee of the Company. As a result of the Novation and the Offset Agreement, approximately RMB 76.8 million in liabilities on the Company’s books were extinguished in 2014 and the Capital Reserve account was increased by approximately RMB 61.3 million.
