The issue price per A Share will not be less than 90% of the average trading price of the A Shares in the 20 trading days immediately preceding the pricing base date (the average trading price of the A Shares in the 20 trading days immediately preceding the pricing base date = the total amount of A Shares traded in the 20 trading days immediately preceding the pricing base date of the A Shares/the total volume of A Shares traded in the 20 trading days immediately preceding the pricing base date of the A Shares).
