Redemption Rights

 

The holder of the Series Angel preferred shares may require that Beijing Xiangshang redeem any or all of the outstanding Series Angel preferred shares held by the holder with redemption price calculated on the agreed terms, if Beijing Xiangshang fails to complete a Qualified IPO before June 30, 2028, or under other pre-agreed redemption events.

 

The redemption price refers to the higher of the following:

(a) the result calculated by the following formula:

A*P* (1+10%^N) + B; (see Note below)

(b) the relevant value of the preferred shares to be redeemed which shall be determined by the audited net asset value of Beijing Xiangshang’s most recent quarter-end consolidated financial statements

 

Note: In the formula above, A refers to the shares to be redeemed; P refers to corresponding original purchase price per share; N refers to the result calculated by dividing the days from the date the issuance of preferred shares to the completion of the redemption by 365; B refers to the profits declared but yet to be distributed with respect to the preferred shares to be redeemed.

Accounting for redeemable non-controlling interests

 

Redeemable non-controlling interests represent preferred shares financing by a consolidated VIE’s subsidiary of the Group from preferred shareholders. As the preferred shares could be redeemed by such shareholders upon the occurrence of certain events that are not solely within the control of the Group, these preferred shares are accounted for as redeemable non-controlling interests. The Group accounts for the changes in accretion to the redemption value in accordance with ASC topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and recorded accretions on the preferred shares to the redemption value from the issuance dates to the earliest redemption dates.
