civil liabilities are borne by its holding business entity.

II.

Business entities should observe provisions set forth in Articles 17 and 35 of the Regulations and related provisions in the Implementing
Rules of the Regulations of the People’s Republic of China on Business Entity Registration Administration (hereinafter referred to
as the Implementing Rules) for the establishment of affiliates without independent capacity to assume civil liabilities through applications
by the holding business entities for registration alteration and operation registration. The affiliates should operate only after
obtaining their business license. Operations in the name of affiliates without the registration approval should be punished in accordance
with Paragraph 1 of Article 30 of the Regulations and Paragraph 1 of Article 66 of the Implementing Rules.

III.

In compliance with related state laws and regulations, branches, sub-branches, small local branches, business departments and savings
houses legitimately established by commercial banks and credit unions all belong to the category of affiliates and should therefore
complete business registration procedures and claim their business license in accordance with the above-mentioned provisions prior
