Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 2 have the meanings ascribed to them in the Original Schedule 13D, as amended. Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by the following: On December 16, 2025, the Issuer and Merger Sub filed with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands a plan of merger, pursuant to which the Merger became effective on December 16, 2025 (the "Effective Time"). As a result of the Merger, the Issuer, as the surviving company of the Merger, became a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. At the Effective Time, (a) each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the Excluded Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement), Shares represented by ADSs and Dissenting Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement)) was cancelled in exchange for the right to receive US$0.575 in cash per Share without interest and net of any applicable withholding taxes; (b) each ADS issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than ADSs representing the Excluded Shares), together with the underlying Shares represented by such ADSs, was cancelled in exchange for the right to receive US$2.30 in cash per ADS (less US$5.00 for each 100 ADSs (or portion thereof) cancellation fees pursuant to the terms of the deposit agreement) without interest and net of any applicable withholding taxes; (c) except as otherwise consented to by the holder of such option, each option to purchase Shares granted under the Company Equity Plan (as defined in the Merger Agreement) in accordance with the terms thereof (each, a "Company Option," and collectively, the "Company Options") that was vested, outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled in exchange for an amount of cash equal to (i) the excess, if any, of (A) the Per Share Merger Consideration over (B) the exercise price per Share of such Company Option, multiplied by (ii) the number of Shares underlying such Company Option (assuming such holder exercised such vested Company Option in full immediately prior to the Effective Time); (d) Each Company Option unvested or otherwise not exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled for nil consideration; (e) each of the Dissenting Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and cease to exist in accordance with Section 3.6 of the Merger Agreement and thereafter represent only the right to receive the applicable payments set forth in Section 3.6 the Merger Agreement.
