The Issuer entered into separate subscription agreements with a number of investors providing for the private placement of the Company’s common shares pursuant to a private offering (“Private Offering”). Pursuant to a privately-negotiated subscription agreement between the Issuer and the Reporting Person (the “Subscription Agreement”) dated as of April 15, 2011 (the “Initial Closing Date”), the Reporting Person made a capital commitment of $150,000,000 (the “Commitment”) to purchase shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock in the Private Offering. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the Reporting Person is required to make capital contributions, in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Commitment, to purchase shares of Common Stock each time the Issuer delivers a drawdown notice, which will be delivered at least 10 business days prior to the required funding date. Additionally, at all times prior to the occurrence of a Qualified IPO (as defined below), the Issuer will reinvest all cash dividends declared by the Issuer’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) on behalf of the Reporting Person unless the Reporting Person elects to receive its dividends in cash, crediting to the Reporting Person a number of shares of Common Stock equal to cash value of the dividend payable to the Reporting Person. Upon the earlier to occur of an initial public offering of Common Stock that results in an unaffiliated public float of at least $75 million (a “Qualified IPO”), and the fourth anniversary of the Initial Closing Date, the Reporting Person will be released from any further obligation to purchase additional shares, subject to certain exceptions contained in the Subscription Agreement.
The Issuer delivered a drawdown notice on June 17, 2011, and upon receiving the drawdown notice, the Reporting Person became obligated to make a capital contribution of $7,894,000 to purchase 7,894 shares (the “Shares”) of Common Stock at a price of $1,000 per share on June 30, 2011.
The cash reserves of the occupational pension scheme was the Reporting Person’s source of the funds for the purchase. No part of the purchase price paid or amount subscribed by the Reporting Person was represented by funds or other consideration borrowed or otherwise obtained for the purpose of acquiring, holding, trading or voting the Shares.

The cash reserves of the occupational pension scheme was the Reporting Person’s source of the funds for the August 1, 2011 Purchase Price. No part of the August 1, 2011 Purchase Price paid or amount subscribed by the Reporting Person was represented by funds or other consideration borrowed or otherwise obtained for the purpose of acquiring, holding, trading or voting the Shares.
