The Company was recently informed by the Lender that the latest process for renewal of the Ping An Loans was as follows:

(i)due to the reasons including the adjustment of the state policy and enhancement of the supervision standard, the approval process of the renewal arrangement is still in process;

  • (ii) one of the conditions for renewal of the loans requires Mr. Ran to re-execute the personal guarantee while the Company was recently informed that Mr. Ran is now being retained by the China Chengdu Supervision Commission to cooperate with the investigation for a case which is totally not related to the Company, Mr. Ran's position and behavior(s) during his tenure as a director of the Group and the current directors and therefore it is impossible to contact him and arrange for execution of the personal guarantee by him in front of the lawyer(s) retained by the Lender and handling the relevant notarization matters at this stage;

  • (iii) as the approval process is still in progress, the Lender will inform the Company if there is any update for the renewal arrangement in the appropriate time.
