ADJUSTMENT TO THE CONVERSION RATE OF THE CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES DUE 2031
Reference is made to: (i) our announcements dated May 23, 2024, May 24, 2024 and May 30, 2024 (collectively, the “2024 Notes Announcements”) in relation to our offering of convertible senior notes due 2031 (the “2024 Notes”); (ii) our announcement dated August 15, 2024 in relation to the adjustment to the conversion rates of the 2024 Notes; and (iii) the announcement of our March quarter 2025 and fiscal year 2025 results dated May 15, 2025 in relation to, among other things, the declaration of an annual regular cash dividend for fiscal year 2025 in the amount of US$0.13125 per ordinary share or US$1.05 per ADS and a one-time extraordinary cash dividend as a distribution of proceeds from disposition of certain businesses and financial investments in the amount of US$0.11875 per ordinary share or US$0.95 per ADS (collectively, the “2025 Dividends”). Unless otherwise defined, all capitalized terms used in this announcement shall have the same meanings as defined in the 2024 Notes Announcements.
We hereby announce that as a result of the declaration of the 2025 Dividends and pursuant to the terms and conditions of the 2024 Notes, the conversion rate of the 2024 Notes was adjusted from 9.7271 ADSs per US$1,000 principal amount of the 2024 Notes to 9.8915 ADSs per US$1,000 principal amount of the 2024 Notes and the maximum conversion rate of the 2024 Notes (taking into account the make-whole adjustments in the event of certain corporate events as disclosed in the 2024 Notes Announcements) was adjusted from 12.6452 ADSs per US$1,000 principal amount of the 2024 Notes to 12.8589 ADSs per US$1,000 principal amount of the 2024 Notes, with effect from June 12, 2025.

Following the above adjustment, the maximum number of ordinary shares (including in the form of ADS) that we may issue upon full conversion of the 2024 Notes and taking into account the make-whole adjustments in the event of certain corporate events as disclosed in the 2024 Notes Announcements increased from 505,808,000 ordinary shares to 514,360,000 ordinary shares. An application has been made to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, such additional ordinary shares.
For the avoidance of doubt, the terms and conditions of the 2024 Notes otherwise remain unchanged.
