Lock-up restriction. Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement,  Windcreek has agreed not to, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of any of its Subscription Shares or any economic interest therein, or enter into a transaction which would have the same effect, or enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Subscription Shares, until two years after the Closing Date.  Tencent is subject to the same lock-up restriction pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement.

 

Standstill restriction. Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, Windcreek has agreed that, without the Issuer’s prior written consent, neither Windcreek nor any of its affiliates will, directly or indirectly, (i) in any way acquire, offer or propose to acquire or agree to acquire legal title to or beneficial ownership of any securities of the Issuer to the extent the ownership percentage of Windcreek will exceed 8% as a result of such acquisition; (ii) make any public announcement with respect to or submit any proposal for, the acquisition of a majority of the securities of the Issuer (including through tender offer,  merger, consolidation, or recapitalization of the Issuer); (iii) seek or propose to influence, advise, change or control the management, the board of directors, governing instruments or policies or affairs of the Issuer by way of any public communication or communication with any person other than the Issuer, or make, or in any way participate in, any “solicitation” of “proxies” (as such terms are defined or used in Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act); (iv) form, join or in any way participate in a “group”  (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) in connection with any action contemplated by any of the foregoing; (v) enter into any negotiations or arrangements with any third party, or finance any third party, with respect to any of the foregoing; (vi) make any public disclosure inconsistent with clauses (i) through (v), or knowingly take any action with the intent of requiring the Issuer to make any public disclosure with respect to the matters set forth in clauses (i) through (v) until two years after the Closing Date; or (vii) make a request to amend or waive any of the provisions in the Investor Rights Agreement related to the foregoing standstill provision.

However, Windcreek will not be deemed to breach the standstill restriction if Windcreek or its affiliates (i) purchase or subscribe for from any person including the Issuer (in the open market, through block trades, or otherwise), any number of the Issuer’s securities that would not result in Windcreek’s ownership percentage as of immediately after such purchase or subscription exceeding 8% (such right, the “Investor Purchase Right”), or if Windcreek’s ownership percentage exceeds 8% solely as a result of the Issuer’s repurchasing, redeeming or cancelling any of its outstanding shares; (ii) acquire additional securities of the Issuer pursuant to a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reclassification or similar transaction of the Issuer (or of the depositary for the ADSs) made in respect of any securities of the Issuer purchased pursuant to the Investor Purchase Right; (iii) discuss any matter confidentially with the Issuer, board of directors or any of its members or the Issuer’s management or exercise voting rights with respect to ADSs or Ordinary Shares on any matter brought before the shareholders of the Issuer (or the holders of ADSs) in any manner they choose.  The standstill restriction will be suspended if (i) any person or “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act): (1) executes a definitive agreement with the Issuer providing for or approving a transaction or series of related transactions involving a change of control; (2) commences, or announces an intention to commence, a tender offer or exchange offer that, if consummated, would result in the acquisition of beneficial ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the Issuer’s issued and outstanding voting securities; or (3) commences any “solicitation” of “proxies” (as such terms are defined in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) to elect and/or remove either the director appointed by Tencent or a majority of the board of the directors.

 

Tencent is subject to the same standstill restriction pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, except the cap of its ownership percentage is 12%.

 

Director or observer appointment rights. Windcreek is entitled to appoint one observer to the board of directors of the Issuer or any such committee of the board, as long as Windcreek holds 3,955,473 Class A Ordinary Shares during the lockup period and maintains its ownership percentage at 8% after the lockup period or as otherwise mutually agreed by the Issuer and Windcreek. The observer appointed by Windcreek is entitled to attend all meetings of, observe all deliberations of, and receive copies of materials provided to, the board of directors of the Issuer or any such committee at the same time and in the same manner as the same are provided to the directors.

 

Tencent is entitled to appoint a director to the board of directors, as long as Tencent holds 9,229,437 Class A Ordinary Shares during the lockup period and maintains its ownership percentage at 12% after the lockup period or as otherwise mutually agreed by the Issuer and Tencent. The director appointed by Tencent is entitled to serve on any committee of the board of the Issuer, unless a majority of the board determines in good faith that such service on the committee would violate any applicable law or result in the Issuer not be in full compliance with the applicable stock exchange requirements without seeking exemptions. If at any time the director appointed by Tencent is not a member of such committee, the director appointed by Tencent has the right, as a non-voting observer, to attend all meetings of, observe all deliberations of, and receive copies of materials provided to any such committee at the same time and in the same manner as the same are provided to other members of such committee.

 

Preemptive Rights. Windcreek has the preemptive rights to subscribe for the shares of the Issuer, as long as Windcreek holds 3,955,473 Class A Ordinary Shares during the lockup period and maintains its ownership percentage at 8% after the lockup period, provided that the ownership percentage of Windcreek shall not exceed 8% immediately after such subscription and purchase.

 

Tencent is also entitled to the same preemptive rights except the cap of its ownership percentage is 12%, as long as Tencent holds 9,229,437 Class A Ordinary Shares during the lockup period and maintains its ownership percentage at 12% after the lockup period.

However, the Issuer is not obligated to effect any demand registration if it has already effected a registration within the two-year period preceding the demand. The Issuer is obligated to effect only two demand registrations for each of Windcreek and Tencent. The demand registration rights in the Investor Rights Agreement are subject to customary restrictions, such as limitations on the number of securities to be included in any underwritten offering imposed by the underwriter.

 

Piggyback registration rights. If the Issuer proposes to file a registration statement for a public offering of its securities other than a registration statement relating to any employee benefit plan or a corporate reorganization, the Issuer must offer holders of its registrable securities an opportunity to include in the registration all or any part of their registrable securities. The piggyback registration rights in the Investor Rights Agreement are subject to customary restrictions, such as limitations on the number of securities to be included in any underwritten offering imposed by the underwriter.
