Page 14 of 16

On August 27, 2021, GenTao, the Corporate Guarantors, Mr. Sheng Chen and the Lender entered into an amendment agreement (the “Amendment Agreement”) to amend certain economic terms of the Facility Agreement, including, among others, the minimum fee, repayment and interest terms.

Issuer Acknowledgement Letter

In connection with the entry into the Facility Documentation described above, the Issuer entered into an acknowledgement letter with the Lender pursuant to which the parties have agreed to, among other things, take specified administrative actions in connection with any transfer of Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B Ordinary Shares by the Lender upon an exercise of remedies under the Facility Documentation.

Default Notices, Standstill Agreement and Additional Pledge

On November 30, 2021, GenTao received a default notice from the Lender. On December 15, 2021, GenTao received a letter from the Lender, claiming that the events of default were continuing and an early termination event had occurred under the Facility Agreement.

On December 21, 2021, GenTao issued a written notice to the Lender, stating that it has pledged additional 16,680,000 Class A Ordinary Shares to the Lender pursuant to the Facility Agreement.

On April 6, 2022, the Corporate Guarantors, the Personal Guarantor and the Lender entered into a standstill agreement whereby the Lender agreed to refrain from taking certain actions under the Facility Agreement until April 30, 2022 on the condition that, among other things, GenTao convert 48,515,634 Class A Ordinary Shares held by it into ADSs and pledge the ADSs to the Lender (the “Standstill Agreement”). Following the execution of the Standstill Agreement, GenTao converted 48,515,634 Class A Ordinary Shares into 8,085,939 ADSs (the “GenTao ADSs”). The GenTao ADSs were registered in the name of the Lender for the benefit of GenTao. On April 6, 2022, GenTao and the Lender entered into a pledge agreement (the “US Pledge Agreement”) to secure the repayment of amounts outstanding under the Facility Documentation, pursuant to which GenTao pledged the GenTao ADSs to the Lender. Pursuant to the Cayman Equitable Share Mortgages and the US Pledge Agreement, GenTao and the Corporate Guarantors have collectively pledged, as of April 8, 2022, 48,515,634 Class A Ordinary Shares (including Class A Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) and 27,757,992 Class B Ordinary Shares to secure borrowings under the Facility Agreement. Although the Standstill Agreement expired without any action being taken, the parties have been in discussions up to the date of this statement to explore solutions of mutual benefit to cure the events of default and the commencement of a new standstill period.

On July 11, 2022, the Corporate Guarantors and the Personal Guarantor received a letter from the Lender, stating that the standstill period had ended and the events of default and the early termination events were continuing.

On November 4, 2022, the Lender issued three demand letters (collectively, the “Demand Letters”, and each a “Demand Letter”) to (a) the Personal Guarantor and GenTao, (b) Fast Horse and GenTao, and (c) Sunrise and GenTao, respectively claiming payments pursuant to the Facility Agreement.

On January 18, 2023, the Lender issued a second demand and reservation of rights letter (the “Second Demand Letter”) to GenTao, Fast Horse, Sunrise and the Personal Guarantor, claiming that, among others, the total amounts payable in connection with the Facility Documentation are US$69,203,246.74 as of January 18, 2023.

Transfer of the GenTao ADSs

On February 8, 2023, the GenTao ADSs have been transferred to an account designated by the Lender, as a result of which GenTao is no longer the beneficial owner thereof. Pursuant to the Facility Documentation, the Lender may take further remedial actions, including without limitation, transferring any other shares of the Issuer pledged under the Facility Documentation or exercising the voting power thereof in accordance with the Facility Documentation. As of the date of this statement, an aggregate of 27,757,992 Class B Ordinary Shares remain pledged to the Lender pursuant to the Facility Documentation, 19,670,117 of which are held by Fast Horse and 8,087,875 of which are held by Sunrise. Mr. Sheng Chen, on behalf of the borrower and the guarantors, is still in active discussions with the Lender on solutions of mutual benefit to cure the events of default and commencement of a new standstill period.

The foregoing descriptions of the agreements in this Item 6 do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to such agreement, filed as set forth below.

Other than as described in this statement, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the Reporting Persons or between the Reporting Persons and any other persons with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including but not limited to transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
