(1)

These shares may be represented by the Registrant’s American depositary shares (“ADSs”), each of which represents 25 Class A ordinary shares. The Registrant’s ADSs issuable upon deposit of the Class A ordinary shares registered hereby have been registered under a separate registration statement on Form F-6 (333-228527).

(2)

Represents Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of options and pursuant to other awards granted under the Amended and Restated Global Share Plan (the “Plan”). Pursuant to Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), this registration statement also covers an indeterminate number of additional shares which may be offered and issued to prevent dilution from share splits, share dividends or similar transactions as provided in the Plan. Any Class A ordinary shares covered by an award granted under the Plan (or portion of an award) that terminates, expires, lapses or repurchased for any reason will be deemed not to have been issued for purposes of determining the maximum aggregate number of Class A ordinary shares that may be issued under the Plan.

(3)

These shares represent Class A ordinary shares that that are reserved for future award grants under the Plan pursuant to the Plan’s evergreen provisions, which were not previously registered under the registration statements on Form S-8 (File No. 333-229419), as filed with the Commission on January 30, 2019 (the “Prior Registration Statement”). The corresponding proposed maximum offering price per share is estimated solely for the purposes of calculating the registration fee in accordance with Rule 457(h) and Rule 457(c) under the Securities Act, is based on US$1.93 per ADS, the average of the high and low prices for the Registrant’s ADSs as quoted on The New York Stock Exchange on March 9, 2021, adjusted for ADS to ordinary shares ratio.
