Subject: AG CHINA DRAFT
Draft to General Counsel of Informa. Total loan from Informa US$16m plus =0% compounded interest p.a.
Dear Rupert,
I urgently need your feedback please.
I informed you on 13 October that the we are out of funds and described =hat I want to proceed in a fully transparent
and mutual process with =nforma.
I am obliged as Director to take steps of closing based on the current =isastrous situation and at the same time I can not
be in breach of the =greements between the Company and Informa which requires Informa =onsent for a wind-down of
any business.
As this is a matter of highest urgency I summarise the current =ituation.
This is my view only and based on legal advice I received.
1. In absence of the ability to fund this November and beyond, and in =bsence of Informa responding to the request for
solvent liquidation, =he Directors will trigger an insolvency in Hong Kong for CM0S HK. This =ould be a waste, especially
since there are no meaningful assets to be =ecovered (you have received the relevant information). In addition, I
=uggested that Informa can buy the business for US$ 1 if preferred in =rder to handle the solvent liquidation yourself to
ensure the fact that =here are no assets of meaningful value.
The HK insolvency means the HK liquidator will deal with the Chinese =usiness liquidation which is very tedious and not
straightforward. Most =ikely bankruptcy will not be be permitted by the PRC court (see =ttached legal memo from a
leading Chinese law firm addressed to me).
2. Solvent liquidation in HK is an option once Informa agrees to waive =he loan. In this case a HK law firm will be
appointed by the Company to =roceed with the liquidation of the business, once the PRC business went =hrough a
voluntary liquidation process. This is a preferred, cleaner =nd better process while also not straight forward due to costs
and =rocess in PRC. Once Informa makes it position clear re loan waiver I =an explain this process and whether/how we
can do this.
3. As we discussed I am continuously trying all avenues to keep the =usiness afloat and find investors - the business
model of AG remains =ound and we have first revenues coming in. This week we signed our =irst hospital contract for
our solution which pays a yearly maintenance =ee of RMB 30k.
There appears to be one possible source of funding: a Russian investor =ased in Moscow who is looking at us as
distressed high risk case.
There is a chance that they invest US$ 5 million but they require the =ancellation of the data rights agreement with
Informa (since they see =ur history as too messy and complicated, the agreement too ambiguous) =nd a US$ 10million
haircut of the loan. I am trying to move them to a =ore logical loan haircut which is Informa reduces the current loan by
=S$ 6.2 million in return for the Company also giving up its right to =he additional total of US$ 6.2 million that is still due
from Informa =fter we are in four cities (i.e. US$ 200k per additional city).
I am in discussions and need your position asap on this option - if =nforma rejects this then I will cease discussions
which requires trips =& associated costs) to Moscow.

I kindly urge you to reply to me on the points by latest tomorrow =vening - I am also always available for a call or
meeting.
Thanks
