The Founder Parties and Sponsor Parties are collectively referred to herein as the “Buyer Consortium.” The Buyer Consortium and the other Rollover Shareholders are collectively referred to herein as the “Buyer Group.”
On November 24, 2023, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”), which included a plan of merger required to be filed with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A to the Merger Agreement (the “Plan of Merger”). The Merger Agreement provides for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”) in accordance with the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands (the “CICA”), with the Company continuing as the surviving company (the “Surviving Company”) and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), Parent will be beneficially owned by the Buyer Group. The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Plan of Merger, including the Merger, are collectively referred to as the “Transactions.”
Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Parent and the Rollover Shareholders entered into a Support Agreement, dated as of November 24, 2023 (the “Support Agreement”), whereby, among other things, subject to the terms and conditions of the Support Agreement, each Rollover Shareholder

has agreed to (a) vote all Shares (including Shares represented by ADSs) beneficially owned by such Rollover Shareholder as of the date of the Merger Agreement, together with any Shares acquired (whether beneficially or of record) by it after the date of the Merger Agreement and prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, including any Shares or securities of the Company acquired by means of purchase, dividend or distribution, or issued upon the exercise or settlement of any Company Options, RSUs, or warrants or conversion of any convertible securities or otherwise (collectively, the “Rollover Shares”), in favor of the authorization and approval of the Merger Agreement, the Plan of Merger and the consummation of the Transactions, including the Merger, and to take certain other actions in furtherance of the Transactions, including the Merger, and (b) contribute the Rollover Shares beneficially owned by him, her or it to Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time in exchange for newly issued shares of Parent and receive no consideration for the cancellation of the Rollover Shares in accordance with the Merger Agreement.
Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Founder Parties, the Sponsor Parties, Parent and Merger Sub entered into an Interim Investors Agreement, which provides for certain terms and conditions that will govern the actions of Parent and Merger Sub and the relationship among the Founder Parties and the Sponsor Parties with respect to the Merger Agreement, the Facility Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter, the Support Agreement and the Limited Guarantee, and the transactions contemplated by each.
If the Merger is completed, the Company will continue its operations as a privately held company and will be wholly owned by Parent, and the Company’s ADSs, each representing five Class A Shares, will no longer be listed on the NASDAQ Global Market (“NASDAQ”) and the ADS program for the ADSs will terminate. In addition, if the Merger is completed, the Company’s obligations to file periodic reports under the Exchange Act will be terminated and the Company will be indirectly privately held by the Buyer Group.
If the Merger is completed, at the Effective Time, (a) each Class A Share and each Class B Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive US$0.816 per Share in cash without interest (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”) and net of any applicable withholding taxes, except for (i) the Rollover Shares, (ii) Shares held by Parent and Merger Sub, (iii) Shares held by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or held in the Company’s treasury, (iv) any Shares (including ADSs corresponding to such Shares) held by the Company or JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “ADS Depositary”) and reserved for issuance and allocation pursuant to the Company Share Plans (as defined below) (the Shares described in clauses (i) to (iv), the “Excluded Shares”), (v) Shares owned by holders who have validly exercised and not effectively withdrawn or otherwise lost their rights to dissent from the Merger pursuant to Section 238 of the CICA (such Shares, the “Dissenting Shares”), and (vi) Shares represented by ADSs; (b) each ADS issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than ADSs representing Excluded Shares and ADSs (together with each Share represented by each such ADS) as described in below (c)), together with each Share represented by such ADS, will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive US$4.08 per ADS in cash (less $0.05 per ADS cancelled and any other fees and charges payable pursuant to the terms of the deposit agreement, dated December 21, 2017 and as amended on October 31, 2022, among the Company, the ADS Depositary and all holders from time to time of ADSs issued thereunder) without interest (the “Per ADS Merger Consideration”, and together with the Per Share Merger Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”) and net of any applicable withholding taxes; (c) each ADS, together with each Share represented by each such ADS, which was issued in connection with the conversion and exercise by certain Company employees of their Vested Company RSUs (as defined below) and/or Vested Company Options (as defined below) and held by The Core Group for and on behalf of such Company employees prior to Effective Time (other than ADSs representing the Excluded Shares, where applicable), shall be cancelled and cease to exist at the Effective Time in exchange for the right to receive the Per ADS Merger Consideration without interest and net of any applicable withholding taxes, and such consideration shall be paid by the Surviving Company or one of its subsidiaries as soon as practicable after the Effective Time pursuant to the Company’s ordinary payroll practices; (d) the Excluded Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be cancelled without payment of any consideration or distribution from the Company therefor; and (e) the Dissenting Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be cancelled and will entitle the former holders thereof to receive the fair value thereon determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 238 of the CICA. “Vested Company RSU” means any restricted share unit granted under the Post-IPO Share Incentive Plan of the Company at or prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Company RSU”) that shall have become vested at or prior to the Effective Time and remains outstanding in the form of an ADS at the Effective Time in accordance with the terms of such Company RSU.

In addition, under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each option to purchase an ADS granted under the 2018 Share Incentive Plan of the Company and the Post-IPO Share Incentive Plan of the Company (collectively, the “Company Share Plans”) at or prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Company Option”) that shall have become vested at or prior to the Effective Time and remains outstanding at the Effective Time in accordance with the terms of such Company Option (each, a “Vested Company Option”) (excluding any Vested Company Option which has been converted into ADSs) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive from the Surviving Company or one of its Subsidiaries, as soon as practicable after the Effective Time pursuant to the Company’s ordinary payroll practices, an amount in cash, without interest and net of any applicable withholding taxes, equal to the excess, if any, of the Per ADS Merger Consideration over the exercise price of such Vested Company Option; provided, that if the exercise price of any such Vested Company Option is equal to or greater than the Per ADS Merger Consideration, such Vested Company Option shall be cancelled and the holder of any such Vested Company Option shall be entitled to a cash amount (without interest and net of any applicable withholding taxes) equal to US$1.9305 with respect to each such Vested Company Option. Further, under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each Company RSU that is not a Vested Company RSU (each, an “Unvested Company RSU”) will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive an employee incentive award by Parent to replace such Unvested Company RSU, pursuant to terms and conditions to be determined by Parent, which shall be substantially the same as the terms and conditions (including as to vesting) under the applicable Company Share Plans and the award agreement(s).
The Merger remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement. In order for the Merger to be completed, the Merger Agreement, the Plan of Merger and the Transactions, including the Merger, must be authorized and approved by special resolution passed by the holders of the Shares, being the affirmative vote of holders of Shares representing at least two-thirds of the voting power of the outstanding Shares present and voting in person or by proxy, or in the case of corporations, by their duly authorized representatives, as a single class at the extraordinary general meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. However, the authorization and approval of the Merger Agreement, the Plan of Merger and the Transactions, including the Merger, are not subject to the authorization and approval of holders of a majority of the Company’s outstanding Shares and ADSs unaffiliated with the Buyer Group.
As of the date of this Transaction Statement, the Buyer Group beneficially own in the aggregate 13,107,608 Class A Shares and 4,385,078 Class B Shares, which collectively represent approximately 35% of the total issued and outstanding shares in the Company and approximately 69% of the total voting power of the outstanding shares in the Company.
The Company will make available to its shareholders a proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement,” a preliminary copy of which is attached as Exhibit (a)-(1) to this Transaction Statement), relating to the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of the Company, at which the shareholders of the Company will consider and vote upon, among other proposals, a proposal to authorize and approve the Merger Agreement, the Plan of Merger and the Transactions, including the Merger. Copies of the Merger Agreement and the Plan of Merger are attached to the Proxy Statement as Annex A and Annex B and are incorporated herein by reference. As of the date hereof, the Proxy Statement is in preliminary form and is subject to completion.
