All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented by adding the following:

On June 27, 2014, as contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter, Parent and Merger Sub entered into a facility agreement (the “Facility Agreement”) with the financial institutions named therein. The Facility Agreement provides for a senior secured credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of US$850 million which, subject to the conditions set forth in the Facility Agreement, will be used for the purpose of financing the consideration for the Merger and fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Merger.

On July 1, 2014, CDH LP and Hony LP each entered into an equity commitment letter with Holdco which replaced the CDH Equity Commitment Letter and the Amended Equity Commitment Letter previously provided by Hony LP in their entirety. Under the terms and subject to the conditions of these equity commitment letters, CDH LP will provide US$200 million of equity financing and Hony LP will provide US$375 million of equity financing to Holdco to consummate the Merger. The aggregate amount of equity financing committed to Holdco by Baring LP, Hony LP and CDH LP remains US$808.4 million.

The information disclosed in this Item 3 does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Facility Agreement and the equity commitment letters of CDH LP and Hony LP, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 7.29 through Exhibit 7.31, respectively, and which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

On July 1, 2014, (i) Mr. Shi, Vogel, Union Sky, Baring (12), Hony SPV, CDH SPV, Holdco, Parent and Merger Sub entered into a second amended and restated interim investors agreement (the “Second Amended and Restated Interim Investors Agreement”) which amended and restated the Amended and Restated Interim Investors Agreement in its entirety, (ii) CDH LP and Hony LP executed and delivered limited guarantees in favor of the Issuer which replaced the CDH Limited Guarantee and the Amended Limited Guarantee previously provided by Hony LP in their entirety, and (iii) Holdco, CDH Wealth Management, CDH LP, CDH SPV, Baring LP, Hony LP and Union Sky entered into a post-closing equity commitment agreement (the “Post-Closing Equity Commitment Agreement”), which, among others things, terminated the Amended and Restated Equity Commitment Agreement.

The information disclosed in this Item 4 does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Second Amended and Restated Interim Investors Agreement, the limited guarantees of CDH LP and Hony LP and the Post-Closing Equity Commitment Agreement, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 7.32 through Exhibit 7.35, respectively, and which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

Item 3 of this Amendment is incorporated herein by reference.
