Specifically, the Company plans to utilize its "SaaS + Fintech" model as a total solution in order to accelerate the digitization of SMEs, encompassing technology-based credit services and solutions to the manufacturing process and operations of the SMEs. Part of this decision requires strategic review of the Company's existing operations in order to optimize resource and talent deployment.

Ltd. ("FT") at nil consideration (the "Deconsolidation"). Upon the completion of this deconsolidation, the financial results of FT will no longer be included in the Company's consolidated financial statements, therefore eliminating its negative financial impacts to the Company. Going forward, the Company will be focused on offering of comprehensive technology-based credit services and solutions to SMEs. As a leading developer for credit services, PINTEC initiated a technology-based credit assessment system for SMEs as early as 2016.
