Lockup Agreements

The shareholders of the Issuer, including the GGV Entities, as well as each of the Issuer’s directors (including Ms. Jenny Hong Wei Lee), has agreed, for a period extending through March 25, 2019, subject to certain exceptions, not to offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of the Issuer’s ADSs or ordinary shares, or any options or warrants to purchase any ADSs or ordinary shares, or any securities convertible into, exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive ADSs or ordinary shares, whether now owned or hereinafter acquired, without the prior written consent of the representatives of the underwriters for the IPO.

Third Amended and Restated Shareholders Agreement

Certain shareholders of the Issuer, including the GGV Entities, are parties to that certain Third Amended and Restated Shareholders Agreement (the “Shareholders Agreement”), pursuant to which such shareholders have received certain registration rights. Set forth below is a description of the registration rights granted under the shareholders agreement.

Demand Registration Rights. At any time or from time to time after the earlier of (i) March 25, 2019, or (ii) the date that the IPO lockup by the underwriters is partially or wholly released, holders holding 30% or more of the voting power of the then outstanding registrable securities (as defined in the Shareholders Agreement) held by all holders are entitled to request in writing that the Issuer effect a registration for at least 20% of the then outstanding registrable securities held by all holders (together with the registrable securities which the other holders elect to include in such registration) or any lesser percentage if the anticipated gross receipts from the offering exceed US$20,000,000. The Issuer has the right to defer filing of a registration statement for a period of not more than 90 days if its board of directors determines in good faith that filing of a registration statement in the near future will be materially detrimental to it or its shareholders, but it cannot exercise the deferral right more than once during any twelve-month period and cannot register any other securities during such period. The Issuer is not obligated to effect more than two demand registrations. Further, if the registrable securities are offered by means of an underwritten offering, and the managing underwriter advises the Issuer that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of securities to be underwritten, the underwriters may decide to exclude up to 75% of the registrable securities and the number of the registrable securities will be allocated among the holders on a pro rata basis according to the number of registrable securities then outstanding held by each holder requesting registration, provided that all other equity securities are first excluded.

Registration on Form F-3 or Form S-3. Any holder may request the Issuer to file a registration statement on Form F-3 or Form S-3 if it qualifies for registration on Form F-3 or Form S-3. The holders are entitled to an unlimited number of registrations on Form F-3 or Form S-3 so long as such registered offerings are in excess of US$1,000,000. The Issuer, however, is not obligated to consummate a registration if it has consummated two registrations within any twelve month period. The Issuer has the right to defer filing of a registration statement for a period of not more than 60 days if its board of directors determines in good faith that filing of a registration statement in the near future will be materially detrimental to it or its shareholders, but it cannot exercise the deferral right more than once during any twelve-month period and cannot register any other securities during such period.

Piggyback Registration Rights. If the Issuer proposes to register for a public offering its securities other than relating to any share incentive plan or a corporate reorganization, the Issuer must offer holders of registrable securities an opportunity to be included in such registration. If the underwriters advise in writing that market factors require a limitation of the number of registrable securities to be underwritten, the underwriters may decide to exclude up to 75% of the registrable securities and the number of the registrable securities will be allocated among the holders on a pro rata basis according to the number of registrable securities then outstanding held by each holder requesting registration, provided that all other equity securities are first excluded (except for securities sold for the account of the Issuer).

Expenses of Registration. The Issuer will bear all registration expenses, other than (i) the underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sale of registrable securities, (ii) the special auditing fees exceeding US$25,000, (iii) fees and disbursement of the counsel(s) engaged by each holder, and (iv) fees and expenses charged by the depositary bank and transfer tax applicable to the sale of registrable securities, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualification pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement.

Termination of Obligations. The Issuer has no obligation to effect any demand, piggyback or Form F-3 or Form S-3 registration upon the later of (i) October 1, 2023, and (ii) with respect to any holder, the date on which such holder may sell with registration, all of such holder’s registrable securities under Rule 144 of the Securities Act in any 90-day period.

Re:  LingoChamp Inc. - Lock-Up Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned understands that you, as representatives (the “Representatives”), propose to enter into an Underwriting Agreement on behalf of the several Underwriters named in Schedule [A] to such agreement (collectively, the “Underwriters”), with LingoChamp Inc., an exempted company with limited liabilities incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), providing for a public offering (the “Offering”) of its American Depositary Shares (the “ADSs”), each representing a certain number of ordinary shares of the Company (the “Shares”) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form F-1 to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

In consideration of the agreement by the Underwriters to offer and sell the ADSs, and of other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees that, during the period specified in the following paragraph (the “Lock-Up Period”), the undersigned will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of any ADSs or Shares of the Company, or any options or warrants to purchase any ADSs or Shares of the Company, or any securities convertible into, exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive ADSs or Shares of the Company, whether now owned or hereinafter acquired, owned directly by the undersigned (including holding as a custodian) or with respect to which the undersigned has beneficial ownership within the rules and regulations of the SEC (collectively, the “Undersigned’s Securities”). The foregoing restriction is expressly agreed to preclude the undersigned from engaging in any hedging or other transaction which is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition of the Undersigned’s Securities even if such Undersigned’s Securities would be disposed of by someone other than the undersigned. Such prohibited hedging or other transactions would include without limitation any short sale or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including without limitation any put or call option) with respect to any of the Undersigned’s Securities or with respect to any security that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of its value from such ADSs or Shares.


The Lock-Up Period will commence on the date of this Lock-Up Agreement and continue for 180 days after the date of the Offering set forth on the final prospectus (the “Public Offering Date”) used to sell the ADSs pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement.

If the undersigned is an officer or director of the Company, (i) the undersigned further agrees that the foregoing restrictions shall be equally applicable to any issuer-directed ADS or Shares the undersigned may purchase in the Offering, (ii) Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Goldman Sachs (Asia) L.L.C. agree that, at least three business days before the effective date of any release or waiver of the foregoing restrictions in connection with a transfer of the Undersigned’s Securities, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Goldman Sachs (Asia) L.L.C. will notify the Company of the impending release or waiver, and (iii) the Company has agreed in the Underwriting Agreement to announce the impending release or waiver by press release through a major news service at least two business days before the effective date of the release or waiver. Any release or waiver granted by Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Goldman Sachs (Asia) L.L.C. hereunder to any such officer or director shall only be effective two business days after the publication date of such press release. For purposes of this Lock-Up Agreement, “business day” shall mean any day which is not a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday or other day on which banking institutions in The City of New York, PRC or Hong Kong are authorized by law or governmental regulation to close. The provisions of this paragraph will not apply if (a) the release or waiver is effected solely to permit a transfer not for consideration and (b) the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this Lock-Up Agreement to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of the transfer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may transfer the Undersigned’s Securities (i) in connection with the sale of the Undersigned’s Securities acquired in open market transactions after the Public Offering Date, provided that no filing by any party under the United States Securities Exchange Act, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with such sale, (ii) by will or intestacy or for estate planning purposes to immediate family members, trusts or an entity beneficially owned and controlled by the undersigned, or to a partner, member, stockholder or other equity holder of the undersigned or, if the undersigned is an investment fund or an investment fund manager, to any investment fund controlled or managed by the undersigned or managed by the same investment fund manager as the undersigned, in each case as part of a distribution without consideration by the undersigned, provided in each case that the transferee or transferees agree to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein prior to such transfer, no filing by any party (transferor or transferee) under the Exchange Act shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with such transfer and any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, (iii) as a bona fide gift or gifts, provided that the donee or donees thereof agree to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein, (iv) with the prior written consent of Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Goldman Sachs (Asia) L.L.C. on behalf of the Underwriters or (v) in connection with the registration of the offer and sale of ADSs as contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement and the sale of ADSs to the Underwriters. For purposes of this Lock-Up Agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin. Furthermore, the restrictions set forth in this Lock-Up Agreement will not apply to the sale or tender to the Company by the Undersigned of any ADSs or Shares acquired by the exercise of any of the undersigned’s rights to acquire any ADSs or Shares issued pursuant to any share option or similar equity incentive or compensation plan of the Company (collectively, the “Equity Incentive Grants”) or withholding by the Company of any such ADSs or Shares for tax withholding purposes in connection with the vesting of Equity Incentive Grants that are subject to a taxable event upon vesting, provided that in each case, such plan is in effect as of the date of and disclosed in the prospectus for the Offering, and provided further that any ADSs or Shares issued upon exercise of such Equity Incentive Grants shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in this Lock-Up Agreement. The undersigned now has, and, except as contemplated by this paragraph, for the duration of this Lock-Up Agreement will have, good and marketable title to the Undersigned’s Securities, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, and claims whatsoever. In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Goldman Sachs (Asia) L.L.C. on behalf of the Underwriters, it will not, during the Lock-Up Period, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any of the Undersigned’s Securities. The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the Undersigned’s Securities except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

 

2


The undersigned understands that the Company and the Underwriters are relying upon this Lock-Up Agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the Offering. The undersigned further understands that this Lock-Up Agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns. This Lock-Up Agreement shall lapse and become null and void if the Offering shall not have closed on or before [•], 2018. This Lock-Up Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
