Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each Ordinary Share, including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be cancelled in consideration for the right to receive US$12.00 per Share or US$12.00 per ADS, in each case, in cash, without interest and net of any applicable withholding taxes, except for (a) up to 59,890,972 Ordinary Shares held by Union Sky (the “Union Sky Rollover Shares”), 11,800,000 Ordinary Shares held by Baring SPV (together with the Union Sky Rollover Shares, the “Rollover Shares”) and the Ordinary Shares held by Parent, the Company or any of their subsidiaries immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, which will be cancelled without payment of any consideration or distribution therefor, (b) Ordinary Shares held by shareholders who shall have validly exercised and not effectively withdrawn or lost their right to dissent from the Merger, which will be cancelled and will entitle the former holders thereof to receive the fair value thereon in accordance with such holder’s dissenters’ rights under the Cayman Islands Companies Law, and (c) 37,500,000 Ordinary Shares held by Union Sky immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, which will be cancelled in exchange for Union Sky’s right to receive a promissory note to be issued to Union Sky in the principal amount of US$450,000,000, being the product of 37,500,000 and US$12.00, which note will be issued by the Company and bear simple interest at two percent per annum.
