        The following information supplements and updates the information contained in the Company's preliminary prospectus dated September 12, 2018. This free writing prospectus reflects the following amendments that were made in Amendment No. 3. All references to page numbers are to page numbers in Amendment No. 3.

(1)   Amended the second paragraph on page 86 as follows:

        Our net tangible book value was approximately $299.7 million, or $1.07 per ordinary share and $2.14 per ADS as of June 30, 2018. Our net tangible book value represents the amount of our total consolidated tangible assets (which is calculated by subtracting net intangible assets, deferred tax assets, and prepaid IPO expenses of US$1.9 million from our total consolidated assets), less the amount of our total consolidated liabilities and non-controlling interest. Dilution is determined by subtracting net tangible book value per ordinary share, after giving effect to the proceeds we will receive from this offering, from the assumed initial public offering price per Class A ordinary share, which is the midpoint of the estimated initial public offering price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

(2)   Amended the pro forma net tangible book value as of June 30, 2018 in the third paragraph on page 86 as follows:

        Without taking into account any other changes in net tangible book value after June 30, 2018, other than to give effect to our sale of the ADSs offered in this offering, the midpoint of the estimated range of the initial public offering price, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma net tangible book value as


of June 30, 2018 would have been $396.2 million, or $1.31 per outstanding ordinary share, and $2.62 per ADS.

(3)   Amended the last paragraph on page 86 and the table on page 87 as follows:

        The following table summarizes, as of June 30, 2018, the differences between the shareholders as of June 30, 2018 and the new investors with respect to the number of ordinary shares purchased from us in this offering, the total consideration paid and the average price per ADS paid at the initial public offering price of $10.00 per ADS before deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. The total number of ordinary shares does not include ordinary shares underlying the ADSs issuable upon the exercise of the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters.
