However, according to the calculation of free float after the acquisition of BTSC ordinary shares and the Entire Business Transfer consisting of BTSC ordinary shares using BTSC's shareholder information as of 31 December 2010 and the Company's shareholder information as of 7 April 2010, the Company will have free float of 13.61% (Free float includes shareholders holding less than 5% in the Company but excludes 1) Directors and management, including related persons and 2) Shareholders with controlling power) The Company has the plan to increase the free float by: The Company plans to issue new shares through the Right Offerings in the amount not exceeding 20,446,441,022 shares. In case there are unsubscribed rights, the Company will offer the remaining shares through a Private Placement to the group of financial institution investors or the group of clients of securities companies who are the Company's underwriters, which will help to increase the free float. The Company expects the allocation of such shares to be completed within June 2010. In addition, the Company also plans to purchase BTSC shares from the remaining BTSC shareholders (approximately 500 people, holding 5.39% of total paid up shares of BTSC) by offering newly issued shares of the Company in the amount not exceeding 3,802,867,837 shares as the payment consideration. This will result in the increase in the free float. The Company expects the allocation of such shares to be completed within December 2010. The Company's free float will become 19.08% if a) the Right Offering is fully subscribed and b) the remaining shareholders of BTSC, holding 5.39% of total paid up shares of BTSC, sell their BTSC shares to the Company.
