Jiuding Group appears in the list of Easystar shareholders
It is worth mentioning that the famous equity investment institution Jiuding Group (holding 14.8% of Easystar’s equity) appears in Easystar’s shareholder list. Before listing on the New Third Board, Easystar had a gambling agreement with the Jiuding Group (Zhongshan Jiuding and Zhanlu Jiuding).
During the capital increase in Easystar in 2012, the Jiuding Department signed an agreement with Easystar and its shareholders Duan Wujie and Zhou Jike: Easystar’s net profit from 2011 to 2013 shall not be less than 25 million yuan and 33 million yuan respectively. million and 43 million yuan.

However, the two parties signed a supplementary agreement at the end of 2013, which relaxed the relevant conditions: as long as Easystar can submit the application and listing materials to the New Third Board, the Jiuding Department will exempt Easystar from all responsibilities and obligations in the gambling agreement.
It is worth mentioning that in this plan for Lianjian Optoelectronics to acquire Easystar, the two Jiuding companies, Zhongshan Jiuding and Zhanlu Jiuding, will not bear the responsibility for profit compensation.
