Lock-Up Letter

 

Abundant entered into a consent letter for lock-up (the “Lock-up Letter”) with the Issuer, dated July 12, 2021, which provides that the Abundant and its affiliates (which means any other person and/or entity directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Abundant), during the period commencing from the First Closing Date until nine (9) months from the First Closing Date (the “Lock-Up Period”), shall not, subject to certain customary exceptions: (i) lend, offer, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, donate, assign, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Restricted Securities (as defined in the Lock-up Letter) owned or to be owned by Abundant and its affiliates, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Restricted Securities, or (iii) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing.

Page 12 of 13

 

Because of the arrangements in the Voting Agreement, the parties to that agreement (excluding the Issuer) may be deemed to have formed a “group” for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act. The Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of any shares of the Issuer beneficially owned by any other person, and the Schedule 13D shall not be construed as acknowledging that the Reporting Persons for any or all purposes, beneficially own any shares of the Issuer beneficially owned by any other person. The aggregate beneficial ownership of the Reporting persons and the Joy Capital is 917,564,810 Class A Ordinary Shares. Joy Capital has separately reported its beneficial ownership on a Schedule 13D, filed on July 22, 2021.
