Considering the content of conversation may affect all investors, we feel it necessary to issue a public letter and make our appeal known to all investors.
PJAM has a strong track record of value investment and working with the investee companies to create long-term, fundamental value.

We welcome the constructive discussion and look forward to working with the Company amiably hereafter.
