In the Offering, the Company issued Pre-Funded warrants to purchase 53,600,000 shares of Class A ordinary shares that were immediately exercisable and had a termination date in June 2022, at a price of US$4.89751 less a norminal exercise price of US$0.00001 per Pre-Funded warrant. The Pre-Funded Warrants were equity classified because they were immediately exercisable, did not embody an obligation for the Company to repurchase its shares, and permitted the holders to receive a fixed number of common shares upon exercise. In addition, such warrants did not provide any guarantee of value or return. As of December 31, 2020, the investment firm did not exercise these warrants.
