The mission of Xinhua Finance is to provide the best investment tools developed to the highest international standards. Our management team is equally dedicated to adhering to the highest global standards in best practice and corporate governance. As we continue to build our operations, we understand that consistent, timely and transparent communications with our shareholders and the global capital markets are paramount in the creation of a world-class financial communications program.

Our commitment to our clients is at the core of our business. Indeed, the structure of the Xinhua Finance Group and our product portfolio has been largely determined by existing and potential market demand. We work closely with clients from strategy formulation to plan execution, generating value for them throughout the process. The value we bring is created from the strengths we leverage, namely our China focus, our unique market position, our comprehensive solutions set, and our top-notch managerial expertise.

Essential to maximizing the value we provide to our shareholder is the effective allocation of our internal resources in serving our clients. We foster talent within the company, providing a structure under which our employees' individual contributions can synergize with the Group objectives as a whole, with the aim of promoting both innovation and productivity. The information resources and assets we possess also generate surplus value through product differentiation and distribution across multiple channels, tailored to diverse client groups.

Xinhua Finance has adopted a four-pronged strategy for strong, profitable growth:

• Positioning Xinhua Finance's global operations to profit from China's internationalization
• Acquiring and growing complementary financial information and media service lines
• Seizing and creating value from our first mover platforms in China
• Building China distribution capabilities to leverage the value of Xinhua Finance's content
