ARRANGEMENTS

   The Company will send the Actionable Corporate Communications to the Shareholders individually in electronic form by email.

   The Company will make the Corporate Communications available on its website (www.irasia.com/listco/hk/chinanetcom) and the Stock Exchange's website (www.hkexnews.hk).
   
   A notice of publication of the Website Version⁶ of Corporate Communications, in both English and Chinese, will be sent by the Company to Shareholders by email or by post (only if the Company does not possess the functional email address of a Shareholder) on the publication date of the Corporate Communications. It is the responsibility of the Shareholders to provide email address that is functional.
