EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) amends the statement on Schedule 13G originally jointly filed by PAG, Pacific Alliance Group Limited, Pacific Alliance Investment Management Limited, Pacific Alliance Group Asset Management Limited, and Pacific Alliance Asia Opportunity Fund L.P. on May 31, 2022 (the “Original Schedule 13G”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Original Schedule 13G. Although the actual numbers of Class A Ordinary Shares and warrants of the Issuer beneficially owned by PAG, Pacific Alliance Group Limited, Pacific Alliance Investment Management Limited, Pacific Alliance Group Asset Management Limited, and Pacific Alliance Asia Opportunity Fund L.P. have not changed since the filing of the Original Schedule 13G, this Amendment is being filed to report that beneficial ownership has fallen below 5% of the outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares and warrants of the Issuer as a result of the change in the outstanding number of Class A Ordinary Shares of the Issuer since the filing of the Original Schedule 13G. As a result, as of the date hereof, PAG, Pacific Alliance Group Limited, Pacific Alliance Investment Management Limited, Pacific Alliance Group Asset Management Limited, and Pacific Alliance Asia Opportunity Fund L.P. are no longer required to report their beneficial ownership of Class A Ordinary Shares and warrants of the Issuer on Schedule 13G.
