Item 15
Additional Information
The disclosure under Item 15 required by Item 1011(c) of Regulation M-A is as follows:
On June 6, 2016, an extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders of the Company was held at 9:00 a.m. (Beijing time) at
Mingyang Industry Park, 22 Torch Road, Torch Development Zone, Zhongshan, Guangdong, People’s Republic of China. At the
extraordinary general meeting, the shareholders of the Company authorized and approved the Merger Agreement, the plan of merger
required to be filed with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands (the “Cayman Registrar”) in connection with the Merger
(the “Plan of Merger”) and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Plan of Merger (collectively, the
“Transactions”), including the Merger.
On June 22, 2016 (Cayman Islands time), the Company and Merger Sub filed the Plan of Merger with the Cayman Registrar, which
was registered by the Cayman Registrar as of June 22, 2016, pursuant to which the Merger became effective on June 22, 2016. As a
result of the Merger, the Company will continue its operations as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.
At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each Share, including Shares represented by ADSs, issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than (a) Shares beneficially owned by the Rollover Shareholders (the “Rollover
Shares”), (b) Shares owned by shareholders who have validly exercised and have not effectively withdrawn or lost their dissenters’
rights under the Companies Law (2013 Revision) of the Cayman Islands (the “Cayman Islands Companies Law”) (the “Dissenting
Shares”), (c) Shares owned by any of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group Companies”) (if any) and (d) Shares (including
Shares held by the ADS Depositary (as defined below) in respect of ADSs) reserved (but not yet allocated) by the Company,
immediately prior to the Effective Time, for issuance and allocation upon exercise or settlement of each outstanding option award
issued by the Company pursuant to the Company’s 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended on September 1, 2013) (the “Share
Incentive Plan”) that entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Share upon the vesting of such award (Shares described under (a)
through (d) above are collectively referred to herein as the “Excluded Shares”), was cancelled and ceased to exist in exchange for the
right to receive US$2.51 (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”) and each ADS issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time (other than ADSs that represent Excluded Shares) was cancelled in exchange for the right to receive US$2.51 (the “Per
ADS Merger Consideration”) (less an ADS cancellation fee of US$0.05 per ADS), in each case, in cash, without interest and net of
any applicable withholding taxes. Each Rollover Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted
into one ordinary share of the Surviving Company at the Effective Time and holders thereof were not entitled to receive the
consideration described in the immediately preceding sentence. The Excluded Shares (other than the Dissenting Shares), including
Excluded Shares represented by ADSs (other than ADSs that represent the Dissenting Shares), issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time, were cancelled and ceased to exist without payment of any consideration or distribution therefor. The
Dissenting Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time were cancelled and the former holders thereof shall
have the right to receive only the payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares as determined in accordance with the Cayman
Islands Companies Law.
At the Effective Time, each option to purchase Shares (the “Company Option”) under the Share Incentive Plan that is then vested,
outstanding and unexercised was cancelled and the former holder thereof shall have the right to receive as soon as practicable
following the Effective Time an amount in cash equal to the excess of US$2.51 over the applicable per share exercise price of such
Company Option multiplied by the number of Shares underlying such Company Option, without interest and net of any applicable
withholding taxes. If consented to by the holder of such unvested Company Option, each Company Option under the Share Incentive
Plan that was unvested and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled without any payment therefor with
such cancellation effective as of the Effective Time. In consideration for the cancellation of the unvested Company Options , each
former holder has the opportunity to purchase (the “Purchase Opportunity”), as soon as is practicable following the Effective Time,
that number of the Surviving Company’s ordinary shares that is equal to the aggregate spread value of his or her cancelled unvested
Company Options immediately prior to the Merger by paying US$0.001 per ordinary share of the Surviving Company (which amount
represents the par value of an ordinary share of the Surviving Company). The “spread value” of an unvested Company Option will be
calculated as US$2.51 minus the per share exercise price of the unvested Company Option multiplied by the number of the
Company’s Shares that were subject to the unvested Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time. If a holder of an
unvested Company Option did not consent to the treatment described above, such holder’s Company Options were treated as vested
Company Options.
As a result of the Merger, the ADSs of the Company will no longer be listed on any securities exchange or quotation system, including
the New York Stock Exchange. In addition, 90 days after the filing of Form 25 in connection with the Transactions, or such shorter
period as may be determined by the SEC, the deregistration of the ADSs of the Company and the Shares underlying them will become
effective and the reporting obligations of the Company under the Exchange Act will be terminated. The Company intends to suspend
its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act by filing a certification and notice on Form 15 with the SEC. The Company’s
reporting obligations under the Exchange Act will be suspended immediately as of the filing date of the Form 15 and will terminate
once the deregistration becomes effective.
On June 22, 2016, Mr. Zhang, First Windy Investment Corp., Ms. Ling Wu and Rich Wind Energy Three Corp, together with the
Rollover Shareholders, entered into an amended and restated rollover agreement with Parent (the “Amended Rollover Agreement”),
pursuant to which the Rollover Shareholders agreed to convert, for nil consideration, 71,250,555 Ordinary Shares beneficially owned
by them, into newly issued ordinary shares of the Surviving Company at the effective time of the Merger. The description of the
Amended Rollover Agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit (d)-(9), which Exhibit is
incorporated herein by reference.
On June 22, 2016, the members of the Buyer Group entered into an amended and restated consortium agreement (the “Amended
Consortium Agreement”) relating to the Proposed Transaction to reflect, among other things, the change in the number of rollover
shares and the consequential changes to the capitalization of the Surviving Company. The description of the Amended Consortium
Agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit (d)-(10), which Exhibit is incorporated herein by
reference.

(e) Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreement to the extent
referred to in this Agreement) constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and
supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter
hereof.
(f) Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any
Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns any legal or equitable right, benefit or
remedy of any nature under or by reason of this Agreement, except as specifically set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, that
the Company is an express third-party beneficiary of this Agreement and shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof,
including an injunction, temporary restraining order or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement by the parties
hereto, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity.
(g) Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of New York, without regard to any applicable conflicts of law principles that would cause the application of the laws of
any other jurisdiction. The parties agree that any Action brought by any party to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter
arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought in any State of New
York or United States Federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York. Each of the parties submits to the
jurisdiction of any such court in any Action seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of, or in connection
with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and hereby irrevocably waives the benefit of jurisdiction derived from
present or future domicile or otherwise in such Action. Each party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any
objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such Proceeding in any such court or that any such
Proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
7
(h) Remedies; Specific Performance.
(i) The parties hereto agree that this Agreement shall be enforceable by all available remedies at law or in equity
(including, without limitation, specific performance). In the event any breach of this Agreement by any Rollover Shareholder
(including, without limitation, any failure by such Rollover Shareholder to deliver the Rollover Shares for cancellation or to convert
its Rollover Shares into Surviving Company Shares) which causes, directly or indirectly, either a failure of any closing condition
applicable to Parent and Merger Sub in the Merger Agreement or a termination right of the Company under the Merger Agreement,
such Rollover Shareholder agrees to (A) indemnify and hold harmless Parent, the Sponsors and the Sponsor Guarantors from the
aggregate out-of-pocket damages (including all costs and expenses) incurred by any of them in connection therewith, including the
amount of any termination fee paid or payable by Parent to the Company under the Merger Agreement and, without duplication, all
amounts paid or payable under any Limited Guarantees by the Sponsor Guarantors, provided that, none of Parent, the Sponsors and
any Sponsor Guarantor shall have the right to recover lost profits or benefit of the bargain damages from such Rollover Shareholder;
and (B) reimburse all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any of them in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement and this Agreement, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of lawyers,
accountants, consultants and other advisors retained by any of them in connection therewith, together with any costs of enforcement
incurred by any of them in seeking to enforce such remedy against such Rollover Shareholder. Each Rollover Shareholder further
agrees to pay or reimburse Parent, the Sponsors and/or the Sponsor Guarantors, as applicable, within ten (10) Business Days following
receipt of a written notice from any of them setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of any losses, damages, liabilities or expenses
incurred by any of them which are indemnifiable or reimbursable hereunder. The parties hereto agree that the Sponsors and the
Sponsor Guarantors shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 11(h).
(ii) Each Rollover Shareholder further acknowledges and agrees that monetary damages would not be an adequate
remedy in the event that any covenant or agreement of such Rollover Shareholder in this Agreement is not performed in accordance
with its terms, and therefore agrees that Parent and the Company will have the right to an injunction, temporary restraining order or
other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining any such breach and enforcing specifically the terms and
provisions hereof. Such Rollover Shareholder agrees not to oppose the granting of such relief in the event a court determines that such
a breach has occurred, and to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. All
rights, powers, and remedies provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity shall be
cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise of any thereof by Parent shall not preclude the
simultaneous or later exercise of any other such right, power or remedy by Parent.
(j) Assignment; Binding Effect. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be
assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties
and the Company, except that Parent may assign this Agreement (in whole but not in part) in connection with a permitted assignment
of the Merger Agreement by Parent, as applicable. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
8
(k) Severability. Whenever possible, each provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision or portion of any provision
of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any
jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or portion of any provision in
such jurisdiction, and this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provision or portion of any provision had never been contained herein.
(l) Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENTS OR
INSTRUMENTS REFERRED TO IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY,
OR THE ACTIONS OF EACH OF THE PARTIES IN NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND
ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT.
(m) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, and by facsimile or, pdf format, all of
which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by
each of the parties and delivered to the other party.
(n) No Presumption Against Drafting Party. Each of the parties to this Agreement acknowledges that it has been
represented by independent counsel in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Accordingly, any rule of law or any legal decision that would require interpretation of any claimed ambiguities in this Agreement
against the drafting party has no application and is expressly waived.
(o) Expenses. Each of the parties to this Agreement shall bear the fees and expenses incurred by such party in the
preparation, negotiation and implementation of this Agreement.
(p) Existing Rollover Agreement. The Existing Rollover Agreement shall be amended and restated with immediate effect
upon the execution of this Agreement. Each of the parties to the Existing Rollover Agreement hereby releases and discharges all
obligations and liabilities of the other parties thereunder, effective as of the date of this Agreement. Such amendment and restatement
under this Section 11(p) shall be without prejudice to any claims for damages or other remedies that the parties may have under the
Existing Rollover Agreement or applicable law.

association of Holdco, BVI I, Parent and Merger Sub, and the memorandum and articles of association of Merger Sub shall become
the memorandum and articles of association of the Surviving Company upon the Closing.
(b) The relative ownership of the equity interest in Holdco (“Holdco Shares”) among the Founder and the Sponsors shall
be based on their relative capital contributions to Holdco to be made in accordance with a subscription agreement to be entered into by
and among Holdco and the Sponsors (“ Subscription Agreement ”).
(c) In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, each of the Rollover Shareholders are currently
contemplated to enter into a rollover agreement in customary form, pursuant to which they agree that, at the Closing, at least

Agreement, shall be converted into such number of Common Shares (as defined below) at the effective time of the Merger as
calculated in accordance with Section 1.05.
SECTION 1.05. Post-Closing Ownership. Subject to the finalization of the rollover arrangements with the Rollover
Shareholders in accordance with Section 1.04(c), the Rollover Shareholders are currently contemplated to convert their respective
Rollover Shares into newly issued common shares of the Surviving Company (the “ Common Shares ”) at the effective time of the
Merger and upon such conversion and issuance of the Common Shares, each Rollover Shareholder shall pledge all the Common
Shares owned by such Rollover Shareholder as part of the collateral to the Debt Financing as prescribed in Section 1.03(b)(iii). A
capitalization table of the Surviving Company immediately after the Closing as currently contemplated is attached hereto as
Schedule B , which reflects the Parties’ and the Rollover Shareholders’ relative direct or indirect ownership of Common Shares (based
on their relative direct or indirect capital contributions to the Surviving Company, as adjusted for their relative collateral contribution
to the Debt Financing); provided , that (i) each Rollover Share shall be valued at the Merger Consideration, (ii) the Sponsor’s capital
contribution to the Surviving Company shall be deemed to be the amount of its equity contribution to Holdco and (iii) the capital
contribution to the Surviving Company by each of the Founder Parties, shall be deemed to be the sum of (A) the value of the Rollover
Shares held by each of them (valued at the Merger Consideration) and (B) the amount of the equity contribution to Holdco by each of
them (if applicable). For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that the obligation of the Parties and the Rollover Shareholders to
purchase and pay for any Common Shares to be purchased by them shall be subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the various
conditions to the obligations of Parent and Merger Sub to be set forth in the Merger Agreement.
