Holders of American depositary shares (the “ADSs”) issued by JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as depositary of the ADSs, and representing our Class A Ordinary Shares are not entitled to attend or vote at the General Meeting. Holders of ADSs as of close of business on Wednesday, June 5, 2024, New York time (the “ADSs Record Date”, together with the Shares Record Date, the “Record Date”), will be able to instruct JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., the holder of record of Class A Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs, as to how to vote the Class A Ordinary Shares represented by such ADSs. Upon the timely receipt of a properly completed ADS voting instruction card, JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as depositary of the ADSs, will endeavor, to the extent practicable and legally permissible, to vote or cause to be voted at the General Meeting the amount of Class A Ordinary Shares represented by the ADSs in accordance with the instructions set forth in the ADS voting instruction card. Please be aware that, because of the time difference between Hong Kong and New York, if a holder of ADSs cancels his or her ADSs in exchange for Class A Ordinary Shares on Wednesday, June 5, 2024, New York time, such holder of ADSs will not be able to instruct JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as depositary of the ADSs, as to how to vote the Class A Ordinary Shares represented by the canceled ADSs as described above, and will also not be a holder of those Class A Ordinary Shares as of the Shares Record Date for the purpose of determining the eligibility to attend and vote at the General Meeting.
