DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL<br />

We are a Cayman Islands company and our affairs are governed by our memorandum and articles of<br />

association and the Cayman <strong>Co</strong>mpanies Law (2004 Revision) of the Cayman Islands, or the Cayman<br />

<strong>Co</strong>mpanies Law. We have filed copies of our current third amended and restated memorandum and articles of<br />

association and our fourth amended and restated memorandum and articles of association that will become<br />

effective upon consummation of this offering as exhibits to our registration statement on Form F-1, of which<br />

this prospectus forms a part.<br />

As of the date of this prospectus, our authorized share capital consists of 134,000,000 ordinary shares, par<br />

value of $0.10 each, and 16,000,000 preferred shares, par value of $0.10 each. As of the date of this prospectus,<br />

an aggregate of 75,000,000 ordinary shares and 15,580,000 preferred shares were issued and outstanding. All of<br />

our issued and outstanding preferred shares will automatically convert into ordinary shares at a conversion rate<br />

of one preferred share to one ordinary share, immediately prior to closing of this offering.<br />

Upon consummation of this offering, our authorized share capital will consist of 499,580,000 ordinary<br />

shares, par value of $0.10 each, and 420,000 shares of such class or designation as our board of directors may<br />

The following are summaries of material provisions of our fourth amended and restated memorandum<br />

and articles of association that will become effective upon consummation of this offering and the Cayman<br />

<strong>Co</strong>mpanies Law insofar as they relate to our ordinary shares. You, as holder of our ADSs, will not be treated<br />

as our shareholders and you must surrender your ADSs for cancellation and withdraw from the depositary<br />

facility in which the ordinary shares are held in order to exercise shareholders' rights as holders of our ordinary<br />

shares in respect of the ordinary shares underlying your ADSs. Under the terms of the deposit agreement, the<br />

depositary has agreed, subject to certain legal and contractual limitations, to exercise certain shareholder<br />

rights on your behalf and on behalf of other holders of our ADSs. See ""Description of American Depositary<br />

Shares'' for more information.<br />

Ordinary Shares<br />

All of our outstanding ordinary shares are fully paid and non-assessable. We issue certificates representing<br />

our ordinary shares in registered form. Our shareholders who are non-residents of the Cayman Islands may<br />

freely hold and vote their shares.<br />

The holders of our ordinary shares are entitled to such dividends as may be declared by our board of<br />

directors subject to the Cayman <strong>Co</strong>mpanies Law.<br />

Voting rights<br />

Each of our ordinary shares is entitled to one vote on all matters upon which our ordinary shares are<br />

entitled to vote. Voting at any meeting of our shareholders is by show of hands unless a poll is demanded or<br />
