As a result of the transaction, OV Orange became a 95% owned subsidiary of the Company's WFOE subsidiary, Wuhan Aoxin Tianli Enterprise Investment Management Co., Ltd. (the "WFOE Subsidiary"). The WFOE Subsidiary also holds an 88% equity interest in Hubei Hang-ao Servo-valve Manufacturing Technology Co., Ltd.
