Shares represented by American depositary shares (the “ADSs,” with every two ADSs represent three Class A ordinary
shares), at a purchase price of $1.70 per Class A Ordinary Share or $2.55 per ADS, without interest (the “Offer”),
upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated December 23, 2020 (together with any amendments
or supplements thereto, the “Offer to Purchase”), and in the related Letters of Transmittal (which, as amended
or supplemented from time to time, together constitute the “Offer”).
The information contained in the Offer to
Purchase, as well as the tender offer statement on Schedule TO filed by Purchaser and Parent with the SEC on December 23, 2020
(as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Schedule TO”) and the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement

Item 15.
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 15 is hereby amended and supplemented
to include the following as a new paragraph at the end of “(c) Other Material Information”:
“The Offer and
withdrawal rights expired as scheduled at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 29, 2021. The Tender Agent has advised that,
as of the Expiration Date, a total of 36,471,813.5 Class A Ordinary Shares (including Class A Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs)
were validly tendered (and not properly withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer, representing approximately 73% of the outstanding
Class A Ordinary Shares (including Class
A Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs), excluding 8,215,616 ADSs held by Associates subject to the Standstill Agreement. The foregoing
include a total of 17,529,697 ADSs tendered, representing approximately 88% of the outstanding ADSs, excluding the ADSs held by
the Associates. Purchaser has accepted for payment, and expects to promptly pay for, all Class A Ordinary Shares and ADSs validly
tendered (and not validly withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer.
On January 29, 2021,
both the Deposit Agreement Termination and, following the Company’s filing of Form 25 with the SEC on January 19, 2021,
the Delisting became effective. As a result of the completion of the Deposit Agreement Termination/Delisting, the ADSs are no
longer tradeable and there is no longer any listing of any securities of the Company on any stock exchange in the United States
or elsewhere.
In accordance with
the right expressly reserved in the Offer to Purchase, Purchaser has commenced a subsequent offering period as of 9:00 am New
York City time, on February 1, 2021, during which tenders of Class A Ordinary Shares and ADSs will be accepted. The subsequent
offering period will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on February 26, 2021, unless extended. Any Class A Ordinary Shares
and/or ADSs properly tendered during the subsequent offering period will be immediately accepted for payment, and the holders
of such Class A Ordinary Shares and/or ADSs will be promptly paid the same price per Class A Ordinary Share and ADS, as applicable,
that was paid in the initial offer period of the Offer. The application of cancellation fees payable to the Depositary and/or
stamp duty on transfer of Class A Ordinary Shares during the initial offer period will apply likewise to the subsequent offering
period. Class A Ordinary Shares and/or ADSs tendered during the subsequent offering period may not be withdrawn. In addition,
no Class A Ordinary Shares and/or ADSs validly tendered during the initial offer period may be withdrawn during the subsequent
offering period.
On February 1, 2020,
Purchaser issued a press release announcing the expiration and results of the initial Offer. The full text of the press release
is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(5)(iii) and is incorporated herein by reference.”
