Explanatory Note

This current report on Form 6-K is being filed to clarify the home country rule exemption disclosure included in our Form 20-F for fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 to specifically reference NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635.

Corporate Governance

Pursuant to the home country rule exemption set forth under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5615, we elected to be exempt from the requirement under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635 to obtain shareholder approval for a business combination, and NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635 to obtain shareholder approval for the issuance of 20% or more of our outstanding ordinary shares. In addition, we also elected to be exempted from NASDAQ Listing Rules 5605 with respect to the composition requirement of the Board of Directors, audit committee, compensation committee and nominating committee. Under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605, a U.S. domestic listed company is required to have a board of directors of a majority of independent directors and an audit committee, compensation committee and nominating committee, each composed entirely of independent directors, which are not required under the Business Companies Act of British Virgin Islands, our home country.

Except for the foregoing, there are no material differences in the Company’s corporate governance practices from those of U.S. domestic companies under the listing standards of the NASDAQ.
