As a result of the merger, the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, which was approved by the Company’s shareholders at an extraordinary general meeting held on December 9, 2025, each outstanding ordinary share of the Company ("Share") has been cancelled in exchange for the right to receive US$0.20 per Share and each American depositary share ("ADS"), each representing ten Shares, has been cancelled in exchange for the right to receive US$2.00 per ADS (less a US$0.05 per ADS cancellation fee pursuant to the terms of the deposit agreement), in each case, in cash, without interest and net of any applicable withholding taxes, except for the Shares (including Shares represented by ADSs): (a) held by the Company as treasury shares or owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any other affiliate thereof (the "Cancelled Shares"), (b) as to which appraisal rights have been properly exercised in accordance with Section 179 of the BVI Business Companies Act, as amended (the "BVI Companies Act") (the "Dissenting Shares") and (c) held by any Rollover Securityholder (as defined in the Merger Agreement) (the "Rollover Shares," and together with the Cancelled Shares and the Dissenting Shares, the "Excluded Shares").

Payment of the merger consideration will be made to surrendering ADS holders and holders of ADSs in uncertificated form as soon as practicable after The Bank of New York Mellon, a New York banking corporation (the "Depositary") receives the merger consideration.

The Company also announced today that it requested that trading of its ADSs on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") be suspended beginning on December 15, 2025. The Company requested that the NYSE file a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") notifying the SEC of the delisting of the Company’s ADSs on the NYSE and the deregistration of the Company’s registered securities. The Company intends to terminate its reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), by filing a Form 15 with the SEC in ten days. The Company’s obligation to furnish to or file with the SEC certain reports and forms, including Form 10-K and Form 8-K, will be suspended immediately as of the filing date of the Form 15 and will cease once the deregistration becomes effective.
