The Company has aggregated the Acquisitions with the Capital Injection for the purpose of calculating the size of the Transactions in accordance with the relevant requirement of the Listing Rules as they both involve acquisition of interests in CNAF. As each of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined under the Listing Rules) calculated after such aggregation is more than 0.1% but less than 5%, the Transactions are subject to the reporting and announcement requirements, but are exempt from the independent shareholders' approval requirement under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.
