UPDATED INFORMATION OF THE GROUP Overview We are a national leader in China’s real estate market engaged in property development, investment and management across the country with strong presence in the Western Region, the Pan Bohai Rim and the Yangtze River Delta. In 2010, we ranked eighth among all PRC real estate developers with annual contract sales of RMB33.3 billion according to, among others, CRIC and China Index Academy. As of December 31, 2010, we had 58 projects in 13 different cities with a total land bank of approximately 31.6 million sq.m. in GFA. We have a wide product spectrum and a broad customer base. We offer residences for the mass market, the middle class and the affluent, and our residential property development projects cover a wide range of middle-to-high end products, including high-rise apartment buildings, low-rise garden apartments, townhouses and luxury stand-alone houses. We have also built various middle to large scale shopping malls and other commercial properties. Our aim is to become one of the most respected and trusted national market leaders in the property industry in China. —4— Our business originated in Chongqing, the largest and most populous municipality in western China, in 1994. Under our “Multiple Products, Selected Regional Focus and Compounding Profit” strategy, we have first expanded our business into the Pan Bohai Rim and then the Yangtze River Delta — in 2005, we established our presence in Beijing, China’s capital and the first-tier city of the Pan Bohai Rim, and in 2007, we expanded into Shanghai, the first-tier city of the Yangtze River Delta. Within each of these geographic regions, we have strategically aimed to initially capture the region’s top-tier city, which we believe to be of strategic significance to establish our national presence and then leveraged our success in that city to expand into the next-tier cities.

ABSTRACT With the development of urbanization, more and more people live in cities and enjoy a convenient and comfortable life. But at the same time, it caused many issues such as informal settlement, air pollution and traffic congestions, which are both affecting residents and stressing the environment. To achieve intensive and diverse social activities, the demand for transportation also increased, the proportion of cars travelling is getting higher and higher. However, the trend of relying too much on private cars has caused traffic congestion, lack of parking spaces and other issues, which is against the goal of sustainable development. Transit-oriented development (TOD) aims to integrate the development of land use and transportation, which has been seen as a strategy to address some issues caused by urbanization.

    China Vanke (A-1)

    9-314-104 REV: MAY 9, 2014 L Y N N S . P A I N E JOHN MACOMBER K E I T H C H I - H O W O N G China Vanke (A-1) For me, long term is five to ten years. For Wang Shi it’s way out there—beyond imagination. Twenty years ago when Vanke was still a very small company, he already had a very grand vision that I thought was impossible to achieve. Twelve years ago when I became the general manager, we were only a two billion RMB company. He was thinking what Vanke might look like if it's a 100 billion company. I couldn’t have imagined that we’d achieve that goal in less than 10 years. — Yu Liang, President, China Vanke China Vanke president Yu Liang surveyed the densely developed expanse of land below as his plane touched down in the southern city of Shenzhen in November 2011. Yu was eager to get back to the company’s headquarters in the suburbs of Shenzhen after several days on the road meeting with subsidiary heads, construction partners, and government officials across China. Under the leadership of its founder Wang Shi, China Vanke Co. Ltd. (Vanke) had grown from a small trading firm to China’s largest homebuilder, successfully navigating the tumultuous mix of volatile markets and ever-changing government policies that characterized China’s real estate market. For 2011, Vanke expected to sell some 10.7 million square meters of floor area, or more than 120,000 homes valued at over 120 billion RMB (about US $20 billion).1 Nonetheless, the year had been a slow one for the industry, as the central government introduced successive waves of austerity measures to bring down skyrocketing prices.
