(a)(b) The responses of the Reporting Persons to Rows (7) through (13) of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D are hereby incorporated by reference in this Item 5.

 

As of the Closing Date, High-Gold holds 19,853,538 Ordinary Shares of the Issuer, which represent approximately 10.0% of the total issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares. After the Acquisition, Fortune Altas acquired 100% issued and outstanding shares of High-Gold, and may be deemed to beneficially own 19,853,538 Ordinary Shares though High-Gold. As Mr. Ni remained the sole director and shareholder of Fortune Altas following the Acquisition, Mr. Ni may be deemed to have acquired beneficial ownership of 19,853,538 Ordinary Shares of the Issuer that are held by High-Gold. As a result, Mr. Ni and Fortune Altas may be deemed to have beneficial ownership and shared voting power to vote or direct the vote of 19,853,538 Ordinary Shares held by High-Gold.

 

As of the Closing Date, 666,666 Ordinary Shares are issuable to Mr. Ni upon his exercise of options or vesting of restricted shares within 60 days after the Closing Date.  Therefore, Mr. Nis beneficial ownership in the Issuer equaled 21,027,138 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 10.6% of the total issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares. 21,027,138 Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by Mr. Ni comprise (i) 666,666 Ordinary Shares issuable to Mr. Ni upon exercise of options or vesting of restricted shares within 60 days after January 17, 2018, (ii) 506,934 Ordinary Shares held by Mr. Ni, and (iii) 19,853,538 Ordinary Shares held by High-Gold, which may be deemed beneficially owned by Mr. Ni.

 

The percentage of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by each Reporting Person is based on 198,165,311 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding as of January 17, 2018 (excluding 10,086,306 ordinary shares issued by the Issuer to the depositary bank for bulk issuance of ADSs reserved under the Issuers share incentive plan and 593,466 unvested restricted shares), together with 666,666 Ordinary Shares issuable to the Reporting Persons upon exercise of options or vesting of restricted shares within 60 days after January 17, 2018.
