This presentation does not constitute an offering of securities or otherwise constitute an invitation or inducement to any person to underwrite, subscribe for or otherwise acquire securities in any company within the Group. Promotional material used in this presentation that is based on pricing or service offering may no longer be applicable. This presentation contains certain non-GAAP financial information which has not been reviewed or reported on by the Group's auditors.
