5 XIDELANG HOLDINGS LTD (Bermuda Company Registration No ) (Incorporated as an exempted company in Bermuda under the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda) (Malaysian Foreign Company Registration No W) (Registered as a foreign company in Malaysia under the Companies Act, 1965 of Malaysia) Board of Directors Registered office in Malaysia Unit 30-01, Level 30, Tower A Vertical Business Suite Avenue 3, Bangsar South No. 8, Jalan Kerinchi Kuala Lumpur Wilayah Persekutuan Malaysia 1 July 2016 Ding LiHong (Executive Chairman) Dato Mohamed Nazim Bin Abdul Razak (Deputy Chairman / Independent Non-Executive Director) Ding PengPeng (Managing Director / Chief Executive Officer) Ding PengWan (Executive Director / Deputy Chief Executive Officer cum Chief Operating Officer) Lin YingYu (Executive Director) Zhu GuoHe (Senior Independent Non-Executive Director) Wong Yoke Nyen (Independent Non-Executive Director) Woon Yeow Thong (Independent Non-Executive Director) To: The Existing Warrant B Holders Dear Sir / Madam, ADJUSTMENT TO THE EXERCISE PRICE OF WARRANTS B IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE DEED POLL B AS A CONSEQUENCE OF THE PAR VALUE REDUCTION 1. INTRODUCTION On 27 April 2016, Mercury Securities had, on behalf of XDL, announced that the Company proposes to undertake the Par Value Reduction. The Shareholders had approved the Par Value Reduction at the SGM held on 16 June On 23 June 2016, it was announced that the Par Value Reduction takes effect on 23 June 2016, being the Effective Date. Pursuant to the Par Value Reduction, the Company has decided to adjust the exercise price of the Warrants B in the manner as detailed in Section 2 of this Notice. THE PURPOSE OF THIS NOTICE IS TO PROVIDE YOU WITH INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE ADJUSTMENT ARISING FROM THE PAR VALUE REDUCTION. THIS NOTICE SETS OUT PARTICULARS OF THE EVENTS GIVING RISE TO THE ADJUSTMENT, TOGETHER WITH THE COMPUTATION AND THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE ADJUSTMENT. NO ACTION IS REQUIRED TO BE TAKEN ON YOUR PART. 1

6 2. DETAILS OF THE ADJUSTMENT In accordance with the terms of the Deed Poll B and after taking into consideration the adjustment to exercise price of Warrants B made on 28 January 2016 pursuant to the bonus issue of 1,347,738,911 new XDL Shares which was completed on even date, each Warrant B entitles the holder to subscribe for one (1) new XDL Share at the exercise price of RM0.18 per Share (or such other varied or adjusted price as may result from subsequent adjustments under the terms of the Deed Poll B, if any) during the exercise period of the Warrants B. Under the terms of the Deed Poll B, there are no specific provisions or adjustment formula which cater for adjustments to the exercise price and number of Warrants B as a result of the Par Value Reduction. Condition 5.4 of Schedule 3 of the Deed Poll B stipulates that, in any circumstances where the Directors consider that adjustments to the exercise price and/or number of Warrants B should be made notwithstanding that no adjustment is required under the provisions of Condition 5 of Schedule 3 of the Deed Poll B, the Company may appoint an Approved Adviser and Auditors (who shall act as experts) to consider whether for any reasons whatsoever the adjustment, calculation or determination to be made is appropriate or inappropriate, as the case may be. If such appointed Approved Adviser and Auditors shall consider the adjustment, calculation or determination to be inappropriate and the Directors decide accordingly, the adjustments shall be modified or nullified or an adjustment, calculation or determination made (even though not required to be made) in such manner as may be considered by such Approved Adviser and Auditors to be in their opinion appropriate as agreed by the Directors. The Board, in consultation with Mercury Securities, has adopted the following formula for the Adjustment as a consequence of the Par Value Reduction:- New exercise price of Warrants B = Revised par value of each XDL Share Original par value of each XDL Share x Existing exercise price of Warrants B = USD0.01 USD0.03 x RM0.18 = RM0.06 The Board has resolved not to adjust the number of Warrants B as a result of the Par Value Reduction as the Par Value Reduction is not expected to result in any dilutive effects on the Warrant B Holders since the number of XDL Shares in issue remains unchanged after the Par Value Reduction. In summary, the details of the Adjustment are set out below:- Before the Adjustment After the Adjustment Exercise price of Warrants B (RM) Number of Warrants B 362,998, ,998,424 The Adjustment was made by the Directors in consultation with Mercury Securities and certified by the Auditors, in accordance with the provisions of the Deed Poll B. For the purpose of this Section 2, the term Approved Adviser has been defined in the Deed Poll B to refer to a person who is eligible to act as a principal adviser under guidelines issued by the Securities Commission Malaysia from time to time, and approved by the Directors for the purposes of the Deed Poll B, whilst the term Auditors has been defined in the Deed Poll B to refer to the auditors, from time to time, of the Company. 2

7 3. RATIONALE FOR THE ADJUSTMENT In arriving at the Adjustment, the Board has considered that the Warrants B were out-of-themoney in view of their exercise price of RM0.18 compared to the last transacted market price of XDL Shares of RM0.055 as at the last market day immediately prior to the announcement of the Par Value Reduction. Hence, the Adjustment would benefit the Warrants B Holders as their exercise price will be adjusted to a level that is closer to the prevailing market prices of XDL Shares. The proceeds arising from the exercise of Warrants B by Warrant B Holders in the future will also benefit the Company as the Company will further increase its cash reserves for its working capital requirements. 4. EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE ADJUSTMENT The Adjustment took effect on 24 June 2016, being the next Market Day following the Effective Date of the Par Value Reduction. 5. CONSENTS Mercury Securities and the Auditors have given and have not subsequently withdrawn their written consents to the inclusion of their names in this Notice. 6. DIRECTORS RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT This Notice has been seen and approved by the Directors who individually and collectively accept full responsibility for the completeness and accuracy of the information contained in this Notice and confirm that, after making all reasonable enquiries and to the best of their knowledge and belief, that there are no other facts, the omission of which would make any statement in this Notice false or misleading.
