ITEM 3.

SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

 

The information set forth in Item 4 hereof is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3, as applicable.

 

In September 2006, DCM IV and Affiliates IV (along with DT Ventures China Fund II, L.P. (“DT”)) lent loans with an aggregate amount of $600,000 to the Company. The loans assumed an interest rate of 7.04% per annum.

 

In November 2006, DCM IV, Affiliates IV and DT respectively, entered into a Share Subscription Agreement with the Company to subscribe for 83,477 shares, 2,123 shares and 36,400 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Shares (in aggregate of 122,000 shares, “Series A Preferred Shares”), at US$50 per share with total cash consideration of US$6,100,000. On the same day, DCM IV, Affiliates IV and DT converted the loans and accrued interest, with total amount of US$610,000, into 8,322 shares, 211 shares and 3,657 shares of Series A Preferred Shares, respectively, (12,190 shares in aggregate), at US$50 per share. All of the preferred shares held by DCM IV and Affiliates IV were converted, in connection with the Company’s initial public offering on August 18, 2022, as Class A ordinary shares on the basis of one preferred share for each Class A ordinary share.

 

 

In February 2009, DCM IV and Affiliates IV (along with DT) lent loans with an aggregate amount of $2,500,000 to the Company. The loans did not bear an interest rate.

 

In February 2013, DCM IV, Affiliates IV and DT respectively entered into a Share Subscription Agreement with the Company to subscribe for to 4,462,264, 113,478 and 1,708,431 of Series B Convertible Preferred Shares (in aggregate of 6,284,173 shares, “Series B Preferred Shares”), at US$0.32 per share with total consideration of US$2,000,000. On the same day, DCM IV, Affiliates IV and DT converted the loans with total amount of US$2,500,000 into 5,373,699 shares, 136,656 shares and 2,344,859 shares of Series B Preferred Shares, respectively, (7,855,214 shares in aggregate) at US$0.32 per share. 

 

In February 2013, the Company entered into a share repurchase agreement, pursuant to which the Company repurchased 4,075,522 shares, 103,643 shares and 1,539,677 shares of Series B Preferred Shares from DCM IV, Affiliates IV and DT, respectively, (in aggregate of 5,718,842 shares, “Repurchased Shares”), at a repurchase consideration of one U.S. dollar for each investor. All of these Repurchased Shares were canceled immediately on the same day. The Company considered such repurchase a linked transaction with the subscription of Series B Preferred Shares as mentioned in above.

 

In August 2014, the Company acquired Comptree International Limited (“Comptree”) in part by issuing 964,981 ordinary shares to DCM IV and 24,540 ordinary shares to Affiliates IV with such shares measured by the Company at their fair value as of the acquisition date (with fair value estimated based on a discounted cash flow method as of the valuation date).

 

The Company’s initial public offering was effective as of August 17, 2022 and closed on August 18, 2022. All series A preferred shares and series B preferred shares held by DCM IV and Affiliates IV were automatically re-classified and re-designated as Class A ordinary shares upon the completion of the Company’s initial public offering on August 18, 2022 at an initial conversion ratio of one-to-one into an aggregate of Class A ordinary shares.

 

In a private placement pursuant to Regulation S of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, concurrent with the Company’s initial public offering, DCM IX and Affiliates IX entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with the Company pursuant to which DCM IX acquired 760,528 Class A ordinary shares and Affiliates IX acquired 55,772 Class A ordinary shares, at a purchase price of $12.25 per Class A ordinary share, for an aggregate purchase price of $9,999,675.
