Item 15 Additional Information

Item 15(c) is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

On November 1, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. (China Standard Time), an extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders of the Company was held at No.1666 North Sichuan Road, Gaobao Building, Hongkou District, Shanghai, China. At the extraordinary general meeting, the shareholders of the Company authorized and approved the Merger Agreement, the plan of merger required to be filed with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A to the Merger Agreement (the “Plan of Merger”) and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Plan of Merger, including the Merger.

On November 15, 2023, 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 November 15, 2023, pursuant to which the Merger became effective on November 15, 2023 (the “Effective Time”). As a result of the Merger, the Company has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.

At the Effective Time, (a) each Ordinary Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than (i) Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) owned by the Company as treasury shares, Parent, or any of their respective direct or indirect subsidiaries of the Company or the Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time, including the Founder Shares and Ordinary Shares (including ADSs corresponding to such Ordinary Shares) held by entities set forth in Section 2.1(c) of the Parent Disclosure Letter (as defined in the Merger Agreement) (collectively the “Cancelled Shares”); (ii) Ordinary Shares (including ADSs corresponding to such Ordinary Shares) held by Citibank, N.A. (the “ADS Depositary”) and reserved for issuance and allocation pursuant to the Company Share Plans (Ordinary Shares described under (i) and (ii) above are collectively referred to herein as the “Excluded Shares”); (iii) Ordinary Shares owned by holders of Ordinary Shares who have validly exercised and have not effectively withdrawn or lost their rights to dissent from the Merger pursuant to

1

Section 238 of the Cayman Islands Companies Act (“Dissenting Shares”) and (iv) Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs, was cancelled and ceased to exist in exchange for the right to receive $0.0077778 (representing $0.56 divided by seventy-two) per Ordinary Share in cash without interest (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”), and (b) each ADS issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any ADS representing the Excluded Shares), together with the Ordinary Shares underlying such ADSs, was cancelled and ceased to exist in exchange for the right to receive $0.56 per ADS in cash without interest (less $0.05 per ADS cancellation fees pursuant to the terms of the deposit agreement by and among the Company, the ADS Depositary and the holders and beneficial owners from time to time of ADSs issued thereunder, dated as of June 10, 2021, as amended from time to time) pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, in each case, net of any applicable withholding taxes.

At the Effective Time, each Excluded Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled and ceased to exist for no consideration in accordance with the provisions of the Cayman Islands Companies Act. Each Dissenting Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time has been cancelled and ceased to exist in exchange for the right to receive payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares as determined in accordance with Section 238 of the Cayman Islands Companies Act, except where any Dissenting Shareholder has effectively withdrawn in accordance with the Cayman Islands Companies Act or lost the right to dissent, then in each case, as of the later of the Effective Time or the occurrence of such event, the Dissenting Shareholder shall, in respect of its Dissenting Shares cancelled and having ceased to exist in accordance with the provisions of the Cayman Islands Companies Act at the Effective Time, be entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration without interest.

In addition, at the Effective Time, (a) each Vested Company Option that was outstanding, unexercised and not yet expired as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, except as otherwise agreed to between a holder of such Vested Company Options and Parent, was cancelled and ceased to exist in exchange for the right to receive, at or promptly after the Effective Time, in full satisfaction of the rights of such holder with respect thereto, an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the excess of (A) Per Share Merger Consideration over (B) the exercise price of such Vested Company Option, multiplied by the number of Ordinary Shares underlying such Vested Company Option, less applicable taxes required to be withheld pursuant to the Merger Agreement (if any), except for any Vested Company Option that had an exercise price per Ordinary Share greater than or equal to the Per Share Merger Consideration which was cancelled and ceased to exist without consideration, (b) each Unvested Company Option that was outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled as of the Effective Time automatically and without action by the holder of such Unvested Company Options, (c) each Vested Company Restricted Share Award that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, except as otherwise agreed to between a holder of such Vested Restricted Share Award and Parent, was cancelled and ceased to exist in exchange for the right to receive, at or promptly after the Effective Time, in full satisfaction of the rights of such holder with respect thereto, an amount in cash, without interest, equal to Per Share Merger Consideration multiplied by the number of Ordinary Shares underlying such Vested Company Restricted Share Awards, less applicable taxes required to be withheld pursuant to the Merger Agreement (if any), and (d) each Unvested Company Restricted Share Award that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled as of the Effective Time, automatically and without action by the holder of such Unvested Company Restricted Share Awards.

As a result of the Merger, the Company’s ADS program will terminate and the ADSs will no longer be listed on any securities exchange or quotation system, including the OTC Market. The Company intends to file with the SEC a Form 15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), requesting the deregistration of the Company’s registered securities, under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and the suspension of the Company’s reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Company’s obligations to file with or furnish to 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 of the Company’s registered securities becomes effective.
