(The existing purchased financial products invested before the effectiveness of this Agreement shall be subject to the rates agreed in the Asset Management Agreement signed by both parties on July 1, 2020.)

9.2.2 Calculation of fixed investment management fees

Fixed investment management fees shall be calculated based on the net asset value of total assets at the end of any given day on a daily basis. The calculation formula shall be as follows:

F = (V x R) ÷ 360 (“F” stands for daily service fee for investment assets; “V” stands for net value of investment assets at the end of any given day; and “R” stands for the basic annual rate applicable to investment categories.)

9.2.3 For investment assets not specified in section 9.2.1 above which come into existence from time to time in the future as permitted and approved by applicable laws, regulations and the insurance regulatory authority, Party A and Party B shall timely negotiate with each other to determine the annual rates and net value calculation methods and establish the same in writing within 3 months after such investments are made. On the premise that the conditions for calculating the net value of investment assets on a daily basis are met, Party A and Party B shall reach a written agreement through consultation on the daily valuation method for determining the net value of investment assets.

9.3 Payment of Fixed Investment Management Fee.

9.3.1 Payment of fixed investment management fee shall be made on a quarterly basis.

9.3.2 Party B shall complete verification of the management fee for the previous month with the Custodian within the first 10 business days of any given month, and send the list and calculation basis for the fee payable for the previous month that has been verified with the Custodian to Party A by email; Party B shall send to Party A hard copies (affixed with its official seal) of lists and calculation basis for the fee payable for the previous quarter within 10 business days after the end of each quarter. If Party A has not raised any objection, it shall issue a formal confirmation affixed with its official seal to the Custodian within 10 business days after receipt of the aforesaid hard copies, and require the Custodian to pay the fee out of the Entrusted Assets in accordance with the confirmation.

15

9.3.3 The calculation, confirmation, objection handling and payment procedures of the management fees for the entrusted assets are the same as those mentioned above, but the Custodian shall perform the calculation of management fees and sending the calculation results, submit the same to to Party A for review after reconciliation by Party B and the Custodian.

9.4 Calculation and Payment of Floating Investment Management Fee.

Calculation and payment of floating fee shall be made on a yearly basis. Party A shall review and evaluate the investment status of the Entrusted Assets and related services provided by Party B for the current year, and determine the rate of the floating fee for that year based on the performance score given in connection with such review. Floating management fee for the current year equals to the product of the base of annual floating management fee multiplied by the payment ratio. The base of the floating management fee equals to 7.5% of the fixed management fee for the current year. Payment ratio for the floating management fee for the current year equals to the result of a formula: [max (performance score, 60) – 80]/20. In case of a positive floating investment management fee, generally it shall be paid before September 1 of the next year; in case of a negative floating investment management fee, the corresponding amount shall be deducted from the fixed management fee payable in the following year. The method of performance review shall be reflected in the Investment Guidelines by assessing Party B’s absolute investment performance, relative investment performance and management efficiency, wherein the setting of the absolute investment performance assessment target is mainly based on Party A’s asset allocation plan and the requirements of profit and income; the setting of the relative investment performance assessment target is based on the market-oriented benchmark requirements of various types of investment return level; the management efficiency mainly assesses the implementation of Investment Guidelines, agreement related service quality and internal control compliance, etc.
