Item 15 Additional Information

Item 15(c) is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

On December 4, 2023, at 10:30 a.m. (Beijing time), an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of the Company was held at the Company’s office at No. 47 Laiguangying East Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing, People’s Republic of China. At the extraordinary general meeting, the shareholders of the Company authorized and approved the Merger Agreement, the Plan of Merger and the Transactions, including the Merger.

On December 18, 2023, the Company and Merger Sub filed the Plan of Merger with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands, pursuant to which the Merger became effective on December 18, 2023 (the “Effective Time”). As a result of the Merger, the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

 

2


The Merger was consummated after each of Parent and Merger Sub waived the closing condition set forth in Section 7.2(e) of the Merger Agreement that shareholders of the Company holding less than twelve percent (12%) of the total issued and outstanding Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time shall have validly served and not withdrawn a notice of objection under section 238(2) of the CICA.

At the Effective Time of the Merger, (a) each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled in exchange for the right to receive US$4.30 per Share in cash (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”) without interest and net of any applicable withholding taxes, except for (i) the Shares deemed contributed to Topco by the Rollover Shareholders (the “Rollover Shares”), (ii) Shares (including Shares represented by ADSs) held by Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any of their subsidiaries, (iii) Shares (including ADSs representing such Shares) held by the Company or The Bank of New York Mellon (the “ADS Depositary”) and reserved for issuance and allocation pursuant to the 2020 Share Option Plan adopted by the Company and effective as of January 1, 2020 (as amended from time to time, the “Company Share Plan”) (the Shares described in clauses (i) through (iii), the “Excluded Shares”), (iv) Shares owned by holders who have validly exercised and not effectively withdrawn or otherwise lost their rights to dissent from the Merger pursuant to Section 238 of the CICA (the “Dissenting Shares”), and (v) Shares represented by ADSs, (b) each ADS issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than ADSs representing Excluded Shares) was cancelled in exchange for the right to receive US$8.60 per ADS in cash (less any fees, including ADS cancellation or termination fees, payable by ADS holders pursuant to the deposit agreement, dated September 29, 2020, among the Company, the ADS Depositary and all holders from time to time of ADSs issued thereunder) without interest and net of any applicable withholding taxes, (c) the Excluded Shares were cancelled without payment of any consideration from the Company therefor, and (d) the Dissenting Shares were cancelled and will entitle the former holders thereof to receive the fair value thereon determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 238 of the CICA.

In addition, at the Effective Time, (a) each option to purchase Shares issued pursuant to the Company Share Plan (each, a “Company Option”) that was outstanding, unexercised, vested and not yet expired as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Vested Company Option”) was cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest and net of any applicable withholding taxes, equal to (i) the excess of the Per Share Merger Consideration of US$4.30 over the exercise price of such Vested Company Option, multiplied by (ii) the number of Shares underlying such Vested Company Option, and (b) each Company Option that was outstanding, unexercised, unvested and not yet expired immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, an “Unvested Company Option”) was cancelled in exchange for the right to receive an employee incentive award to replace such Unvested Company Option, pursuant to terms and conditions to be determined by Topco and in accordance with the Company Share Plan and the award agreement with respect to such Unvested Company Option.

As a result of the Merger, the Company’s ADSs will no longer be listed on any securities exchange or quotation system, including NASDAQ, and the Company will cease to be a publicly traded company. The Company has requested NASDAQ to file a Form 25 with the SEC notifying the SEC of the delisting of the Company’s ADSs on NASDAQ and the deregistration of the Company’s registered securities. The deregistration will become effective 90 days after the filing of the Form 25 or such shorter period as may be determined by the SEC. The Company intends to suspend its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act, by filing a Form 15 with the SEC in approximately 10 days following the filing of the Form 25. The Company’s obligations to file with the SEC certain reports and forms, including Form 20-F and Form 6-K, will be suspended immediately as of the filing date of the Form 15 and will terminate once the deregistration becomes effective.
