Total investment and shareholder capital Graphic overview Total investment On-shoredebtunlimited Registered capital Off-shoredebt On-shore debt Company ForeignDebtQuota Additional on-shore external financing from banks in China Shareholder’sequityat inception • The registered capital is a function of the WOFE’s total investment size (see table above) • The remainder between the total investment and the shareholder capital is the company’s Foreign Debt Quota “FDQ”. This quota defines the maximum amount of off-shore debt a company can borrow • A company’s FDQ can be used for short-term and long-term loans • Note that usage of long-term loans will “eat up” the FDQ for good

  10. Entrustment loans Process overview Comments • In China corporations can distribute and transfer funds within the group by means of entrustment loans • For RMB transfers there is no need to have locally incorporated holding companies • The transaction is based on a three-party lending agreement between the two sister companies and the Agent Bank • How it works • Cash rich Company A provide funds of RMB 5m to sister Company B through the Agent Bank • The Agent Bank collects interest of [x]% p.a. from sister Company B and transfer it back to Company A • The interest rate should be based on the arm’s length principle • If the loan is still needed at the time of repayment a new agreement will be established between the two parties • Company A pays a commission fee to the Agent bank RMB 5m RMB 5m Collects Interest Return Interest Loanagreement: RMB 5mTenor: 6 monthsFixed interest rate: [x]% p.a.

  12. Forward exchangecontract Process flow overview • A company know that they will pay-out a dividend to its parent company in USD three months from now • By using a forward contract the company can lock in the CNY/USD exchange rate today 3 months FX forward 01 Apr Buying USD 01Jan Fixing price for buying USD and selling local currency • A forward exchange contract or a “FX forward” is a binding contract to buy or sell a certain amount of foreign currency at a pre-agreed rate and on a certain future date • A forward contract is the easiest way of covering exchange risk because it locks in the exchange rate. This strategy mitigates one of the problems that customer experience when importing or exporting in foreign currency • In order to carry out a FX forward the customer need to advise the agent bank the amount, the currencies, the expiry date and whether customer would like to buy or sell the currency • Our minimum transaction amount is USD 10,000
