Qunar Transactions

In October 2015, Ctrip completed a share exchange transaction with Baidu. Upon completion of the exchange, Ctrip beneficially owned ordinary shares of Qunar Cayman Islands Limited ("Qunar") representing approximately 45% of Qunar's aggregate voting interests. Subsequent to the transaction with Baidu, Ctrip issued ordinary shares to certain special purpose vehicles for exchange transactions solely for the benefit of Qunar employees and made certain investments in investment entities managed or owned by parties unaffiliated with each other and unaffiliated with Ctrip that acquired a significant minority stake of Qunar. From accounting perspective, Ctrip has consolidated Qunar's financial results since December 31, 2015.

Investment in MakeMyTrip

In January, 2016, Ctrip made an investment of US$180 million in MakeMyTrip Limited ("MakeMyTrip"), India's largest online travel company, via convertible bonds. In addition, MakeMyTrip has granted Ctrip permission to acquire MakeMyTrip shares in the open market, so that combined with shares convertible under the convertible bonds, Ctrip may beneficially own up to 26.6% of MakeMyTrip's outstanding shares. Following the completion of the investment in January, 2016, Ctrip appointed a director to the MakeMyTrip board of directors.
