(a)First, each Preferred Share shall entitle its holder, on a pari passu basis as between all Preferred Shares but in preference to the holders of Ordinary A Shares and the Ordinary Shares, to a per Preferred Share distribution in an amount equal to the higher of: (i) the applicable Original Issue Price therefore plus interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to twelve percent (12%) compounded annually, from the respective Original Issue Date of such share and until the date of the Liquidation Event plus all declared but unpaid dividends thereon, less any amount paid (or value of asset distributed) as dividends in respect of such share in preference over the Ordinary A Shares and Ordinary Shares pursuant to the provisions of Article ‎8.2.3 (the “Preferred A Preference”) and (ii) the amount that each holder of such Preferred Share would have received had it converted such Preferred Share into an Ordinary Share, in accordance with the mechanism of conversion described in these Articles, minus any amounts paid (or value of asset distributed) in preference in prior distributions in consideration of the Preferred A Preference, if any, and participated in the distribution of assets pro rata with all the holders of Ordinary Shares. In the event that the Distribution Proceeds available for distribution shall be insufficient to make such per share distributions, the holders of Preferred Shares shall share ratably in any distribution in connection with such Liquidation Event, in proportion to the full respective preferential amounts to which they are otherwise entitled to pursuant to this Article.

(b)Second, after payment in full of all amounts payable and distributable pursuant to Article 8.2.1(a) in respect of the Preferred Shares, each Ordinary A Share shall entitle its holder, on a pari passu basis as between all Ordinary A Shares but in preference to the holders of Ordinary Shares, to a per Ordinary A Share distribution in an amount equal to the higher of: (i) the applicable Original Issue Price therefore, from the respective Original Issue Date of such share and until the date of the Liquidation Event plus all declared but unpaid dividends thereon, less any amount paid (or value of asset distributed) as dividends in respect of such share in preference over the Ordinary Shares pursuant to the provisions of Article ‎8.2.3 (the “Ordinary A Preference”) and (ii) the amount that each holder of Ordinary A Shares would have received had it converted its Ordinary A Shares into Ordinary Shares, in accordance with the mechanism of conversion described in these Articles, minus any amounts paid (or value of asset distributed) in preference in prior distributions in consideration of the Ordinary A Preference, if any, and participated in the distribution of assets pro rata with all the holders of Ordinary Shares. In the event that the Distribution Proceeds available for distribution after payment in full of the Preferred A Preference shall be insufficient to make such per share distributions, the holders of Ordinary A Shares shall share ratably in any distribution in connection with such Liquidation Event, in proportion to the full respective preferential amounts to which they are otherwise entitled to pursuant to this Article.

 

(c)after payment in full of all amounts payable and distributable pursuant to Article 8.2.1(a) and Article 8.2.1(b) in respect of the Preferred Shares and Ordinary A Shares, any remaining proceeds or assets of the Company, if any, shall be distributed pro-rata to the holders of Ordinary Shares in proportion to their respective holdings in the Company’s issued share capital on an as-converted basis.

 

8.2.2.The amount deemed paid or distributed to the shareholders of the Company upon any Liquidation Event shall be the cash or the value of the property, rights or securities paid or distributed to such holders by the Company or the acquiring person, firm or other entity. The value of such property, rights or securities shall be as follows: With respect to securities, (1) if traded on a securities exchange the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the securities on such exchange over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days prior to the closing; and (2) if actively traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid or sale prices (whichever is applicable) over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days prior to the closing. With respect to securities with respect to which there is no active public market and other property and rights, the value shall be as determined in good faith by the Board, including the Fosun Director, in writing, with reasoning, and in the absence of such determination, based upon the assessment of an independent third party assessor, unrelated to the Company or any Shareholder, to be appointed by the Board with the approval of the Fosun Director.

 

8.2.3.The entitlement of the holders of the Preferred Shares and the Ordinary A Shares to the Preferred A Preference and the Ordinary A Preference, as applicable, shall not be diminished in the event that any portion of the consideration in a Liquidation Event is subject to any earn-out or similar contingency features (the “Escrow Amounts”), and such Escrow Amounts shall not - until actually available for distribution - be deemed part of the distributable proceeds resulting from the foregoing.

 

8.2.4.Dividend Preference. Subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, each holder of Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive, on a pari passu basis as between all Preferred Shares but in preference to the holders of the Ordinary A Shares and the Ordinary Shares, a non-cumulative dividend, if and when declared by the Board, in an amount equal to 8% of the applicable Original Issue Price paid for such Preferred Share held thereby (with respect to each Preferred Share, the “Preferred Dividend Preference”).

 

7

 

 

The Company shall not declare or pay any dividends in respect of any shares or other securities unless the Company first pays, in respect of each Preferred Share, an amount equal to the Preferred Dividend Preference. If the amount declared or distributed shall be insufficient to pay such preferential dividends in respect of the Preferred Shares in full, the holders of Preferred Shares shall share ratably in any distribution or dividend payment in proportion to the full respective preferential dividend amounts to which they are otherwise entitled under this Article ‎8.2.3.

 

After the Preferred Dividend Preference has been paid in full, the holders of Preferred Shares shall participate with all other holders of any class of shares in the receipt of any additional dividends distributed, pro rata and pari passu in accordance with their respective shareholdings in the Company (treating the Preferred Shares on an as-converted basis for purpose thereof). For the avoidance of doubt, all dividends distributed as aforesaid shall be deemed on account of the amounts due upon a Liquidation Event, to the extent set forth in Article 8.2.1. It is further clarified that the preference amounts set forth under Articles 8.2.1 and 8.2.3 are alternative and not cumulative (i.e. in case the preference amounts under Article 8.2.1 are paid to the applicable Shareholders in full, such Shareholders shall not be entitled to receive any dividend preference amounts).

 

8.2.5.Conversion

 

(a)Right to Convert. Each Preferred Share and Ordinary A Share shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable Ordinary Shares as is determined by dividing the applicable Original Issue Price of such share by the Conversion Price of such share, in effect at the time of conversion. The initial Conversion Price of a Preferred Share or an Ordinary A Share shall be the applicable Original Issue Price thereof; provided, however, that each such Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in this Article ‎8.2.4 (the “Conversion Price”).

 

(b)Automatic Conversion. The Preferred A Shares, Preferred A-1 Shares, Preferred A-2 Shares and Ordinary A Shares shall respectively automatically be converted into Ordinary Shares as provided in sub-Article (a) to this Article ‎8.2.4, upon the earlier of: (i) the date, or the occurrence of an event, specified by vote or written consent of the holders of more than fifty percent (50%) of the then issued and outstanding (w) Preferred A Shares including Fosun, (x) Preferred A-1 Shares, (y) Preferred A-2 Shares, or (z) Ordinary A Shares, as applicable; or (ii) immediately prior to the closing of an underwritten IPO on a recognized major international stock exchange reflecting a pre-money valuation of the Company of at least US$ 369.089 per share with gross proceeds to the Company of at least US$ 16,000,000) (“QIPO”), subject to the consummation of such QIPO.

 

(c)Mechanism of Conversion

 

i.Conversion pursuant to the election of the holder thereof, shall be made by the surrender of the applicable certificate or certificates for such Share(s), at the principal office of the Company, together with written notice of the election to convert all or any number of the shares represented by such certificate or certificates and, if applicable, any event on which such conversion is contingent. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the certificate representing the shares to be converted, and the person(s) entitled to receive the Ordinary Shares into which the shares are convertible shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder(s) of such Ordinary Shares as of such date.

 

ii.If the conversion is in connection with an IPO, the conversion, unless otherwise designated by the holder, will be conditioned upon the closing with the underwriters of the sale of securities pursuant to such offering, in which event the person(s) entitled to receive the Ordinary Shares, into which the shares are convertible, shall not be deemed to have converted such shares until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities.

 

8

 

 

iii.If the conversion is an automatic conversion, then the conversion shall be deemed to have taken place automatically regardless of whether the certificates representing such shares have been tendered to the Company, but from and after such conversion any such certificates not tendered to the Company shall be deemed to evidence solely the Ordinary Shares received upon such conversion and the right to receive a certificate for such Ordinary Shares.

 

iv.The Company shall, as soon as practicable after the conversion and tender of the certificates for the shares converted, issue and deliver to the holder(s) of such shares, a certificate or certificates for the number of Ordinary Shares into which such shares are then convertible.

 

v.To the extent required, each conversion shall be made by converting or reclassifying the applicable Share into 1 fully paid and non-assessable Ordinary Share and the Company shall, at such time, issue to the holder thereof, for no additional charge (a portion of the premium paid for such Share being attributed as payment on account of the nominal value of such additional Ordinary Shares), such additional number of fully paid and non-assessable Ordinary Shares as is required so that the total number of Ordinary Shares so issued together with the one Ordinary Share into which the Share was converted or reclassified will equal such number of Ordinary Shares into which such Share is then convertible.

 

(d)Adjustment of Conversion Price for Certain Splits, Dividends and Combinations

 

i.Adjustments for Splits and Combinations.
   
  If the Company shall subdivide its Ordinary Shares or in the event of any other Recapitalization Event in which bonus Ordinary Shares or the equivalent are issued, the applicable Conversion Price shall be proportionately decreased, so that the number of Ordinary Shares into which the Preferred Shares and Ordinary A Shares are convertible shall be increased in proportion to such increase in the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares. If the Company shall combine its Ordinary Shares, the applicable Conversion Price shall be proportionately increased, so that the number of Ordinary Shares into which the Preferred Shares and Ordinary A Shares are convertible shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares. Any adjustment under this subsection shall become effective as of the earlier of (i) the date such subdivision or combination becomes effective; or (ii) if the Company shall fix a record date for the purpose of so subdividing or combining, such record date.

 

ii.Recapitalizations.
   
  If at any time or from time to time the Ordinary Shares shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or series of shares of the Company, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares provided for elsewhere in this Article 8.2.4 or a merger or other reorganization referred to in Article 8.2.2), provision shall be made, concurrently with the effectiveness of such reorganization or reclassification, so that the holders of Preferred Shares and Ordinary A Shares shall thereafter be entitled to receive, upon conversion of their Preferred Shares and Ordinary A Shares (as applicable) and in lieu of the Ordinary Shares into which such Preferred Shares and/or Ordinary A Shares are convertible, such number of other class or series of shares of the Company, which a holder of such number of Ordinary Shares deliverable upon conversion immediately prior to such change would have been entitled to receive upon such change. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Article 8.2.4 with respect to the rights of the holders of the Preferred Shares and/or Ordinary A Shares after the recapitalization, to the end that the provisions of this Article 8.2.4 (including adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares into which the Preferred Shares and/or Ordinary A Shares are convertible) shall be applicable after that event in a manner as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.

 

9

 

 

(e)Adjustments of Conversion Price upon Certain Dilutive Issuances
   
  In addition to the adjustments specified herein, the Conversion Price shall be subject to further adjustments from time to time as follows:

 

i.In the event that at any time prior to the occurrence of a QIPO New Securities (as defined below) of the Company are issued at an effective price per share lower than the applicable Conversion Price of any Preferred Share and/or Ordinary A Share in effect immediately prior to such issuance (the “Dilutive Issuance”), then concurrently with such issuance, the then Conversion Price of such shares shall be reduced to a new Conversion Price to be calculated based on a “broad-based weighted average anti-dilution protection”, according to the following formula:

 

  NCP =  (N x P)+(n x p)  
  N + n  

 

Where:

 

NCP =the new adjusted Conversion Price for each such Preferred Share or Ordinary A Share (following Dilutive Issuance).

 

N =The aggregate number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance on a fully diluted as converted basis (assuming, without limitation, full conversion of the Preferred Shares and Ordinary A Shares and exercise of all the convertible or exercisable equity Securities and full allocation of any option pool reserved by the Company, but not including in such calculation any additional Ordinary Shares issuable solely as a result of the adjustment of the Conversion Price of the Preferred Shares and/or Ordinary Shares resulting from the adjustment caused by such issuance) immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance.

 

P =the Conversion Price applicable to such Preferred Share or Ordinary A Share in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance.

 

n =the number of New Securities issued in the Dilutive Issuance.

 

p =the price per share of the New Securities issued in the framework of the Dilutive Issuance.

 

ii.Subject to Article ‎8.2.4(e)(iv) below, no adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Article ‎8.2.4(e) shall be made if it has the effect of increasing the Conversion Price above the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

 

iii.In the case of the issuance of New Securities for cash, the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash received therefor, after giving effect to any and all discounts, commissions or other expenses, paid or due by the Company for any underwriting or otherwise in connection with the issuance and sale thereof, and shall not include consideration other than in cash. In the case of the issuance of New Securities for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair value thereof, as shall be determined in good faith by the Board in writing, which shall include reasoning. For purposes of this Article ‎8.2.4(e), the consideration for any New Securities shall be taken into account at the U.S. Dollar equivalent thereof, on the day such New Securities are issued or deemed to be issued pursuant to Article ‎8.2.4(e)(i).

 

10

 

 

 

iv.In the case of the issuance of warrants or options to purchase, or rights to subscribe for, New Securities, or securities which by their terms are convertible into or exchangeable for New Securities or options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities (collectively, “Options”), the New Securities deliverable upon exercise (assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, including without limitation the passage of time), conversion or exchange, as the case may be, of such Options, shall be deemed to have been issued at the time of issuance of such Options at a consideration equal to the consideration (determined in the manner provided in Article ‎8.2.4(e)(i)), if any, received by the Company for such Options upon the issuance of such Options plus any additional consideration payable to the Company pursuant to the terms of such Options for the New Securities covered thereby; provided, however, that if any such Options by their terms provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Company, or decrease or increase in the number of New Securities issuable, upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, the applicable Conversion Price computed upon the original issue thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon any such increase or decrease becoming effective, be recomputed to reflect such increase or decrease insofar as it affects such Options, and provided, further, that if any such Options as to which an adjustment to the Conversion Price has been made pursuant to this Section expire without having been exercised, then the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such Options had not been issued (without any effect, however, on adjustments to the Conversion Price as a result of other events described in this Article).

 

(f)No Fractional Shares and Certificates as to Adjustments

 

i.No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and Ordinary A Shares, and the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole share. All Ordinary Shares (including fractions thereof) issuable upon conversion of more than 1 Preferred Share and Ordinary A Share by a holder thereof shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the conversion would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after the aforementioned aggregation, the conversion would result in the issuance of a fraction of an Ordinary Share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional share, pay the holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the fair market value of such fraction on the date of conversion (as determined in good faith by the Board).

 

ii.Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price of the Preferred Shares and Ordinary A Shares pursuant to this Article 8.2.4, the Company, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each holder of Preferred Shares and Ordinary A Shares a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of Preferred Shares or Ordinary A Shares furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (a) such adjustment or readjustment, (b) the Conversion Price of the Preferred Shares or Ordinary A Shares (as applicable) at the time in effect, and (c) the number of Ordinary Shares and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of a Preferred Shares or Ordinary A Shares (as applicable) held by such holder.

 

(g)Notices of Record Date
   
  In the event of any taking by the Company of a record date for the purpose of determining the holders of any class of securities who are entitled to receive any dividend (including a cash dividend) or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, the Company shall notify each Shareholder prior to the record date specified therein, a notice specifying the record date for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right.

(h)Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion
   
  The Company shall at all times keep available out of its authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Preferred Shares and Ordinary A Shares, such number of its Ordinary Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all issued Preferred Shares and Ordinary A Shares. Without derogating from the aforesaid, in the event that in the opinion of the Company’s legal counsel, any conversion of Preferred Shares and/or Ordinary A Shares shall require additional Shareholders’ resolutions or consents, each Shareholder shall execute any such document and/or resolutions reasonably necessary to effectuate such conversion.
   
  If applicable, conversion of the Preferred Shares and/or Ordinary A Shares may be effected by way of reclassification of the Preferred Shares and/or Ordinary A Shares into Ordinary Shares or issuance of additional Ordinary Shares, as shall be required by the conversion at the then existing conversion rate determined pursuant to Article ‎8.2.4. To the extent that any corporate action shall be required to effect the above, all Shareholders shall provide their affirmative vote to any such corporate action and execute any such document and/or resolutions reasonably necessary to effectuate the same.

  

8.2.6.Voting Rights
   
  Each of the Preferred Shares and Ordinary A Shares shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote for each Ordinary Share into which such Preferred Shares/Ordinary A Shares could then be converted and with respect to such vote, such holder shall have full voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the holders of Ordinary Shares, and shall be entitled to notice of any General Meeting in accordance with these Articles, and shall be entitled to vote, together with holders of Ordinary Shares, with respect to any question upon which holders of Ordinary Shares have the right to vote.

9.4.1.determine, as to the holder of shares so consolidated, which issued shares shall be consolidated into each share of larger nominal value;
