( the “TSD”), a limited liability corporation registered in China.

Skypeople HK incorporated Skypeople China in Shaanxi Province, China on March 13, 2012 and pursuant to the approval certificate and business license of Skypeople China, SkyPeople HK was required to contribute RMB 427,000,000 (approximately $65,698,308) and Hongke Xue, a director of the Company (“Xue”) was required to contribute RMB 1,000,000 (approximately $153,846) to Skypeople China, and Skypeople HK and Xue as a result would own 427,000,000 shares (99.78%) and 1,000,000 shares (0.22%) of Skypeople China, respectively.

Pursuant to the Agreements, TSD shall acquire 112, 809,100 shares of Skypeople China from Skypeople HK and shall make a total capital contribution RMB 131,761,028.80 (approximately $20,270,928) to Skypeople China, which is calculated based upon 8 times Skypeople China’s net profit per share for 2014 (about RMB 0.146 per share) then times 112, 809,100 shares. RMB 112,809,100 out of the RMB 131,761,028.80 (the "Capital Contributions") shall be used as payment for outstanding capital contribution due to Skypeople China by Skypeople HK and the remaining RMB 18,951,928.80 (approximately $2,915,681) shall be used as additional capital contribution to Skypeople China and shall be deposited into Skypeople China’s capital surplus account.
