Important Shareholder Information & Potential Price Sensitivity

- Associate Status: CITIC Securities International Capital Management Limited is a Class (5) associate connected with the Offeror, and is ultimately owned by CITIC Securities Company Limited. Its dealings are for its own account, which may be interpreted as proprietary trading rather than client-driven trading, potentially reflecting its direct view on the company’s prospects surrounding the privatisation.
- Currency Impact: All transactions were conducted in RMB, and the underlying derivatives relate to A shares, which may be relevant for both local and international investors considering currency and market segment exposure.
