<ul>
<li>VeriSilicon is a rare company in the world that can provide a complete IP portfolio and one-stop services from design to production, and has a faster response to regional services.</li>
<li>The challenge is the ecological barriers of ARM and Synopsys is extremely deep, making it difficult to form substantive competition in the field of general-purpose processor IP in short term</li>
<li>Considering the differences in liquidity between SSE Star Market and HK stock market, a discount of approximately 30%-40% is more comfortable, which may leave enough “margin of safety” for investors.</li>
