On October 11, 2022, the Issuer and Merger Sub filed a plan of merger with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands, pursuant to which the Merger became effective on October 11, 2022 (the “Effective Time”). As a result of the Merger, each of the Issuer’s Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and each ADS were cancelled and ceased to exist, and each Reporting Person no longer beneficially owns any Ordinary Shares or ADSs.

(c) Except as set forth in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D, none of the Reporting Persons has effected any transaction in the Ordinary Shares during the past 60 days.

 

(d) Not applicable.

 

(e) As a result of the transactions described in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D, on October 11, 2022, each of the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Ordinary Shares. This Amendment No. 2 is the final amendment to the Schedule 13D.
