Item 15 Additional Information
Item 15(c) is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
On September 24, 2026 at 10:30 a.m. (Beijing Time), an extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders of the Company was held at 16/F, Tower A, Fairmont Tower, 33 Guangshun North Main Street, 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 required to be registered with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands in connection with the Merger, the Limited Guarantees and the consummation of the Transactions, including the Merger, the Variation of Capital and the Adoption of Amended M&A.
On October 28, 2026, the Company and Merger Sub filed the Plan of Merger with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands, which was registered by the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands as of October 28, 2026, pursuant to which the Merger became effective on October 28, 2026 (the “Effective Time”). As a result of the Merger, the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo.
At the Effective Time, (a) each Share (other than Excluded Shares, the Dissenting Shares and the Class A Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled and ceased to exist in exchange for the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration in cash per Share without interest and net of any applicable withholding taxes, and (b) each ADS (other than ADSs representing Excluded Shares) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, together with the underlying Class A Ordinary Shares represented by such ADSs, was cancelled in exchange for the right to receive the Per ADS Merger Consideration in cash per ADS (less US$5.00 per 100 ADSs (or portion thereof) cancellation fee and the ADS Depositary’s servicing fee of US$0.05 per ADS, payable pursuant to the terms of the Deposit Agreement, and any expenses, taxes and other governmental charges), without interest.
At the Effective Time, the Excluded Shares (including Excluded Shares represented by ADSs) were cancelled and ceased to exist for no cash consideration or distribution therefor.
At the Effective Time, the Dissenting Shares were cancelled and ceased to exist in exchange for the right to receive the payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares as determined in accordance with Section 238 of the Cayman Islands Companies Act.
In addition to the foregoing, at the Effective Time, the Company terminated the Company Share Plans and any relevant award agreements entered into under the Company Share Plans. In addition, at the Effective Time, each Company Option that was then outstanding and unexercised, whether or not vested or exercisable, and each Company RSU that was then outstanding, whether or not vested, was treated as described below.
In connection with the Merger, each Company Equity Award that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was treated as follows: (a) each Company Equity Award held by certain key employees or the Rollover Shareholders was cancelled and treated as follows: (i) a portion of such holder’s Company Equity Awards vested as of April 30, 2026 equal to the Cash-out Percentage was converted into the right to receive a cash amount (without interest and net of any applicable withholding taxes), from the Surviving Company or one of its subsidiaries as soon as practicable following the Effective Time (and in any event no later than the next regularly scheduled employee payroll date) pursuant to the Company’s ordinary payroll practices, equal to (A) in the case of a Vested Company Option, the product of the excess, if any, of the Per Share Merger Consideration over the exercise price of such Vested Company Option and the number of Shares underlying the portion being cashed out (provided that if the exercise price equals or exceeds the Per Share Merger Consideration, such portion was cancelled without payment), and (B) in the case of a Vested Company RSU, the product of the Per Share Merger Consideration and the number of Shares underlying the portion being cashed out; (ii) the remaining vested portion (after deducting the cash-out portion) was cancelled and replaced with a vested award comprised of other rights or property, subject to substantially equivalent terms and conditions, as reasonably determined by both HoldCo and the Company; and (iii) each Company Equity Award unvested as of April 30, 2026 held by such holder was cancelled and replaced with an award comprised of other rights or property, subject to substantially equivalent terms and conditions, as reasonably determined by both HoldCo and the Company; (b) each Company Equity Award vested as of April 30, 2026 held by any holder other than a Rollover Shareholder or certain key employees was cancelled and converted into the right to receive a cash payment (without interest and net of any applicable withholding taxes), payable by the Surviving Company or one of its subsidiaries as soon as practicable following the Effective Time (and in any event no later than the next regularly scheduled employee payroll date) pursuant to the Company’s ordinary payroll practices, equal to (i) in the case of a Vested Company Option, the product of the excess, if any, of the Per Share Merger Consideration over the exercise price of such Vested Company Option and the number of Shares underlying such Vested Company Option (provided that if the exercise price equals or exceeds the Per Share Merger Consideration, such Vested Company Option was cancelled without payment), and (ii) in the case of any Vested Company RSUs, the product of the Per Share Merger Consideration and the number of Shares underlying such award; and (c) each Company Equity Award unvested as of April 30, 2026 held by any holder other than a Rollover Shareholder or certain key employees was cancelled and ceased to exist without payment of any consideration or distribution therefor.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) was notified about the Merger prior to its effectiveness, and is expected to remove the Company’s trading symbols on or after the date hereof, and as a result the ADSs will cease to be quoted on the OTC Markets. Accordingly, concurrently with the filing of this Final Amendment, the Company will file a certification and notice of termination of registration on Form 15 with the SEC to terminate the registration of its Class A Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs and suspend its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act. The Company’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act will be suspended immediately as of the filing date of the Form 15 and will terminate once the deregistration becomes effective.
