EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Registration Statement is filed by MOGU Inc. (the “Registrant”) to register additional securities issuable pursuant to the Amended and Restated Global Share Plan (“the Plan”) and consists of only those items required by General Instruction E to Form S-8. Pursuant to certain provisions of the Plan (referred to as the “evergreen provisions”), the number of ordinary shares that are available for award grant purposes under the Plan can be increased during the term of the Plan by an amount equal to such number of ordinary shares as may be determined by the board of directors of the Registrant, subject to certain restrictions. The additional securities registered hereby consist of 75,548,322 ordinary shares, which represent the number of ordinary shares that were added to the Plan pursuant to the Plan’s evergreen provisions. Pursuant to Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), this registration statement also covers an indeterminate number of additional shares which may be offered and issued to prevent dilution from share splits, share dividends or similar transactions as provided in the Plan. Any Class A ordinary shares covered by an award granted under the Plan (or portion of an award) that terminates, expires, lapses or repurchased for any reason will be deemed not to have been issued for purposes of determining the maximum aggregate number of Class A ordinary shares that may be issued under the Plan. These shares represent restricted share units that are reserved for future award grants under the Plan pursuant to the Plan’s evergreen provisions, which were not previously registered under the registration statements on Forms S-8, as filed with the Commission on January 30, 2019 (File No. 333-229419) and March 11, 2021 (File No. 333-254120) (the “Prior Registration Statements”).

In accordance with General Instruction E to Form S-8, the contents of the Prior Registration Statements are incorporated herein by reference, except as otherwise set forth herein.
