Except as amended and supplemented herein, the information set forth in the Original Schedule 13D remains unchanged. Capitalized terms used herein have meanings assigned thereto in the Original Schedule 13D unless defined herein.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented by adding the following at the end thereof:

On July 14, 2014, an extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders of the Company was held at 10:00 a.m. (Hong Kong time), at the offices of O’Melveny & Myers, 31st Floor, AIA Central, 1 Connaught Road Central, Hong Kong. At the extraordinary general meeting, the shareholders of the Company voted to approve the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, and the proposal to authorize the directors to do all things necessary to give effect to the Merger Agreement.

On July 18, 2014, the Company and Merger Sub filed a plan of merger with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies, which was registered by the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies as of July 18, 2014, pursuant to which the Merger became effective on July 18, 2014.

At the effective time of the Merger, each Ordinary Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger was cancelled and converted into the right to receive US$12.00, and because each of the ADSs represents one Ordinary Share, each issued and outstanding ADS immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger was cancelled and represents the right to surrender such ADS in exchange for US$12.00 (less US$0.05 per ADS cancellation fees pursuant to the terms of the deposit agreement, dated as of November 6, 2007, among the Company, Citibank, N.A., in its capacity as the ADS depositary, and the holders and beneficial owners of ADSs issued thereunder), in each case, in cash, without interest and net of any applicable withholding taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Ordinary Shares (including such Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) were cancelled at the effective time of the Merger but were not converted into the right to receive the consideration described in the immediately preceding sentence: (a) 58,224,305 Ordinary Shares held by Union Sky, 11,800,000 Ordinary Shares held by Baring SPV and the Ordinary Shares held by Parent, the Company or any of their subsidiaries immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, which were cancelled without payment of any consideration or distribution therefor; and (b) 37,500,000 Ordinary Shares held by Union Sky immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, which were cancelled in exchange for Union Sky’s right to receive a promissory note to be issued by the Company as the surviving company in the Merger in principal amount of US$450,000,000, which is equal to the product of (i) 37,500,000 and (ii) US$12.00, which note bears simple interest at 2.0% per annum.

In addition to the foregoing, at the effective time of the Merger, (i) each option to purchase Ordinary Shares granted under the Company’s 2007 Performance Incentive Plan and the Employee Share Option Scheme (collectively, the “Share Incentive Plans”) that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, whether vested or unvested, was cancelled and converted into the right to receive, as soon as practicable after the effective time of the Merger (and in any event no more than five business days after the effective time of the Merger), an amount equal to the product of the total number of Ordinary Shares issuable under such option immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger multiplied by the excess of US$12.00 over the exercise price payable per Ordinary Share under such option, in cash, without interest and net of any applicable withholding taxes, and (ii) each restricted share awarded under the Share Incentive Plans that was issued and outstanding (and with respect to which the restrictions had not lapsed) immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger was cancelled and converted into the right to receive, as soon as practicable after the effective time of the Merger (and in any event no more than five business days after the effective time of the Merger), an amount equal to US$12.00, in cash, without interest and net of any applicable withholding taxes.

Upon the consummation of the Merger, the Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceased. As a result of the Merger, the ADSs ceased to trade on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) following the close of trading on July 18, 2014 and became eligible for delisting from the NYSE and termination of registration pursuant to Rules 12g-4(a)(1) and 12h-3(b)(1)(i) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
