of the Company, each representing one Class A ordinary share, par value US$0.0001 per share, listed below pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Offer to Purchase.

PRICE (IN DOLLARS) PER ADS AT WHICH ADSS ARE BEING TENDERED

THE UNDERSIGNED IS TENDERING SHARES AS FOLLOWS (CHECK ONLY ONE BOX):

ADSS TENDERED AT PRICE DETERMINED UNDER THE OFFER

(See Instruction 4 of The Letter of Transmittal)

By checking the box below INSTEAD OF ONE OF THE BOXES UNDER “ADSs Tendered at Price Determined by Securityholder,” the undersigned hereby tenders ADSs at the purchase price determined by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Offer.

☐ The undersigned wants to maximize the chance of having the Company purchase all ADSs the undersigned is tendering (subject to the possibility of proration). Accordingly, by checking this box instead of one of the price boxes below, the undersigned hereby tenders ADSs at, and is willing to accept, the purchase price determined by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Offer. THE UNDERSIGNED UNDERSTANDS THAT THIS ELECTION COULD RESULT IN THE TENDERED ADSS BEING PURCHASED AT THE MINIMUM PRICE OF US$2.80 PER ADS, WHICH IS THE LOW END OF THE PRICE RANGE IN THE OFFER, FOR PURPOSES OF DETERMINING THE PURCHASE PRICE. THE UNDERSIGNED ALSO UNDERSTANDS THAT THIS MAY HAVE THE EFFECT OF LOWERING THE PURCHASE PRICE AND COULD RESULT IN THE UNDERSIGNED RECEIVING A PER ADS PRICE AS LOW AS US$2.80, WHICH IS THE LOW END OF THE PRICE RANGE IN THE OFFER, LESS ANY APPLICABLE WITHHOLDING TAXES AND WITHOUT INTEREST.

ADSS TENDERED AT PRICE DETERMINED BY SECURITYHOLDER

(See Instruction 4 of The Letter of Transmittal)

By checking ONE of the following boxes below INSTEAD OF THE BOX UNDER “ADSs Tendered at Price Determined Under the Offer,” the undersigned hereby tenders ADSs at the price checked. This action could result in none of the ADSs being purchased if the purchase price determined by the Company is less than the price checked below. A SECURITYHOLDER WHO DESIRES TO TENDER ADSS AT MORE THAN ONE PRICE MUST COMPLETE A SEPARATE INSTRUCTION FORM FOR EACH PRICE AT WHICH ADSS ARE TENDERED. The same ADSs cannot be tendered at more than one price, unless previously validly withdrawn as provided in Section 4 of the Offer to Purchase.

CONDITIONAL TENDER

(See Instruction 11 of the Letter of Transmittal)

A securityholder may tender ADSs subject to the condition that a specified minimum number of the securityholder’s ADSs tendered pursuant to the Letter of Transmittal must be purchased if any ADSs tendered are purchased, all as described in the Offer to Purchase and particularly in Section 6 thereof. Unless at least that minimum number of ADSs indicated below is purchased by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Offer, none of the ADSs tendered by you will be purchased. It is the tendering securityholder’s responsibility to calculate that minimum number of ADSs that must be purchased if any are purchased, and the Company urges securityholders to consult their own financial or tax advisors before completing this section. Unless this box has been checked and a minimum specified, the tender will be deemed unconditional.

☐ The minimum number of ADSs that must be purchased, if any are purchased, is: ADSs.

If, because of proration, the minimum number of ADSs designated will not be purchased, the Company may accept conditional tenders by random lot, if necessary. However, to be eligible for purchase by random lot, the tendering shareholder must have tendered all of his or her ADSs and checked this box:

☐ The tendered ADSs represent all ADSs held by the undersigned.

ODD LOTS

(See Instruction 12 of the Letter of Transmittal)

To be completed only if ADSs are being tendered by or on behalf of a person owning, beneficially or of record, an aggregate of fewer than 100 ADSs. The undersigned either (check one box):

☐ is the beneficial owner of an aggregate of fewer than 100 ADSs, all of which are being tendered; or

☐ is a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or other nominee that (a) is tendering for the beneficial owner(s), ADSs with respect to which it is the record holder, and (b) believes, based upon representations made to it by the beneficial owner(s), that each such person is the beneficial owner of an aggregate of fewer than 100 ADSs and is tendering all of such ADSs.
