The transaction value of public securities accounted for 83.8% of the total volume this quarter,demonstrating our continued commitment to distributing more standardized products to our clients. In this quarter,the outstanding amount of onshore mutual funds distributed on our mobile APP Fund Smile exceeded RMB10 billion,and our parallel offshore mutual fund mobile APP iNoah was launched,which jointly form the formation of Noah's global mutual funds platform. We are confident that the momentum we've seen in the past four quarters since our transformation will continue."

UPDATE ON CREDIT FUNDS

As the Company previously disclosed on July 8,August 29,2019 and April 24,in connection with certain credit funds managed by an affiliate of Gopher Asset Management ("Gopher") providing supply chain financing involving companies related to Camsing International Holding Limited ("Camsing"),it is suspected that fraud has been committed by third parties related to those financings. A criminal investigation in China is ongoing,and Gopher is assisting PRC government authorities in their investigation,as well as pursuing all available actions,including filing civil litigations against the relevant parties,to protect investors ("Investor(s)") of the credit funds involved in Camsing incidents ("Camsing Products") who have outstanding economic interests in such products and to recover their assets.

Furthermore,in order to share the growth of the Company with the Investors,to prevent distraction or diversion of its management resources from existing or potential claims,as well as to protect the best interests of its shareholders,the Company has decided to propose a settlement offer to the Investors.

Under the settlement plan,each Investor will be granted a certain number of restricted share units ("RSUs") of the Company,typically over a period of up to ten years,the vesting of which is subject to certain conditions and a schedule not exceeding fifteen years. An investor accepting the offer shall agree to give up all his or her outstanding legal rights associated with Camsing Products and irrevocably release the Company and all its affiliated entities and individuals from any and all claims,known or unknown,that relate to the Camsing Products. Upon vesting of the RSUs,the Investor will receive Class A ordinary shares of the Company. On August 24,this settlement plan was approved by the board of directors (the "Board") of the Company and a total number of new Class A ordinary shares not exceeding 1.6% of the share capital of the Company has been authorized to be issued each year for a consecutive ten years.

As of the date hereof,there are only claims initiated in China by several Investors against Gopher or its affiliates. These claims are at early stages and their impact on the Company remains unclear.

[1] Noah's Non-GAAP financial measures are its corresponding GAAP financial measures excluding the effects of all forms of share-based compensation,fair value changes of equity securities (unrealized),adjustment for sale of equity securities and net of relevant tax impact,if any. See "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Results" at the end of this press release.

[2] "Active clients" for a given period refers to registered high net worth clients who purchase financial products distributed or provided by Noah during that given period,excluding clients who transacted on our online mutual fund platform.

[3] The asset distribution/redemption of public securities also includes market appreciation or depreciation.

2020 FORECAST

The Company revises its non-GAAP net income attributable to Noah shareholders for the full year 2020 from the range of RMB800 million to RMB900 million,to the range of RMB900 million to RMB1billion. The revision is based on stronger than expected transaction value and performance income of public securities,improved operation efficiency and optimistic business estimation of the second half of 2020,despite the impact on overseas new insurance transactions from COVID-19 travel bans. This estimate reflects management's current business outlook and is subject to change.

See "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Results" at the end of this press release.

The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The financial results reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP and reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results should be carefully evaluated.
