3. In accordance with the provisions of the Company Law of the People’s Republic of China and the Civil Code of the People’s Republic of China, the parties reached the following agreement on the transfer of equity after negotiation:

 

I. Purchase Price and Payment Method

 

1. The Company’s fiscal year 2021 (January 1 to December 31, 2021) achieved revenues of about RMB 131.79 million and net loss of about RMB 1.83 million, and the Company expects to achieve revenues of more than RMB 190 million and net profit of more than RMB 9.5 million in fiscal year 2022 (January 1 to December 31, 2022). Based on a valuation report issued by Beijing Ningbanghonghe Assets Valuation Firm on April 18, 2022, the Company’s valuation is RMB 160,298,650 (Report No. Ningbanghonghe [2022] AL414).

 

2. Party A will transfer 20% of the Company’s equity (corresponding to the Target Company’s subscribed capital of RMB 20 million, paid-up capital of RMB 5.43 million) to Party B and ensure that Party B appoints a new executive director.

Parties A and B agreed that the per share issuance price shall be equal to 115% of the Nasdaq closing price of the ordinary shares of Party C (Nasdaq: EJH) for trading day on Dec 14, 2022, which is $0.52, and therefore, the per share issuance price should be $0.598. As a result, Party C will issue a total of 4,660,129 ordinary shares to Party A (the exchange rate between RMB and USD used hereby was 7.1768 by reference to People’s Republic of China’s foreign exchange trading RMB/USD mid rate on Dec 15, 2022).

The Transferor and its designated party(ies) also understand that at the time the Transferor or its designated party(ies) wishes to sell the Shares, there may be no public market upon which to make such a sale, and that, even if such a public market then exists, Party C may not be satisfying the current public information requirements of Rule 144, and that, in such event, the Transferor or its designated party(ies) may be precluded from selling the Shares under Rule 144 even if the minimum holding period requirement has been satisfied. The Transferor and its designated party(ies) understand that these Shares are being offered and sold in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of U.S. federal and state securities laws under Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act and Party C is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the Transferor’s and its designated party(ies)’s representations and warranties set forth herein in order to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of the Transferor and its designated party(ies) to acquire the Shares. The transferor and its designated party(ies) represent, warrant and agree that each of them complies with the provisions of Regulation S of the Securities Act, each of them is not a U.S. person as such term is defined under Regulation S, the Shares are not acquired in the United States at the time of acquisition, and the Shares are not acquired for the account or benefit of a U.S. person.
