PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

        The following summary is qualified in its entirety by, and should be read in conjunction with, the more detailed information and financial statements appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. In addition to this summary, we urge you to read the entire prospectus carefully, especially the risks of investing in the ADSs discussed under "Risk Factors," before deciding whether to buy the ADSs. You should note that the business described in this prospectus is owned and operated by our variable interest entity in the PRC and the ADSs purchased are of a Cayman Islands holding company that does not directly own our business operations in the PRC. This prospectus contains information from an industry report commissioned by us and prepared by iResearch, a third-party research firm, in October 2018 (and updated by iResearch in [    ·    ] 2019) to provide information regarding our industry and our market position in China.

Our Mission

        To be a pioneer in institutionalizing a transparent Chinese consumer credit recovery industry by helping borrowers rebuild credit, maximizing financial institutions' recovery and nurturing a new generation of talent.

Business Overview

        We are a leading business service provider of delinquent consumer debt collection in China. We believe that delinquent consumer debt collection is crucial to the maintenance of a sound financial environment because debt collection is a mechanism to establish principles and rules governing consumer lending, and facilitates the restoration of credit of the debtors and the establishment of a society built on credit. According to iResearch, we are the largest provider of delinquent credit card receivables recovery service in the PRC in terms of total value of receivables under collection and number of collection specialists employed as of June 30, 2019, and total commission for the six months ended June 30, 2019. We offer nation-wide consumer debt collection services. We collect delinquent consumer receivables such as credit card receivables originated by commercial banks, and online receivables originated by online consumer finance companies. For the six month period ended June 30, 2019, we have serviced seven of the top 10 commercial banks as measured by outstanding balance of credit cards issued in China in 2018, and reputable online consumer finance companies in China. Our clients engage us to collect delinquent consumer receivables and we primarily generate commission-based fees based on our collection success. Our industry expertise, operation scale, innovative approach and IT infrastructure allow us to offer our clients a cost-effective and trustworthy solution to recover delinquent consumer receivables. We intend to continue to leverage our strengths and grow our business through our disciplined approach, which has contributed to our growth and success to-date.

        We focus on the collection of tertiary receivables. According to iResearch, we outperformed by a large margin all other service providers in the PRC tertiary credit card receivables recovery market in terms of total value of receivables under collection and number of collection specialists employed as of June 30, 2019, and total commission for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The commission rate for the collection of tertiary receivables is typically higher than that of fresher receivables, which include primary and secondary receivables, because (i) tertiary receivables are past due for a longer period of time, and thus are more difficult to collect compared to fresher receivables; and (ii) tertiary receivables may also have been charged off by the lender and therefore any amount we collect generates additional income for the clients. In most cases, prior to engaging us, our clients had unsuccessfully attempted to collect these delinquent consumer receivables through their

in-house collection teams and other service providers. In 2017, 2018 and for the six months ended June 30 2019, we derived 96.6%, 80.5% and 72.3% of our revenues from our credit card receivables collection services, respectively, and 3.1%, 19.5% and 27.7% from online receivables, respectively.

        Our remote collection approach and centralized management contribute to our overall success. According to iResearch, we are one of the pioneers in the industry as we provide collection services solely by remote means, such as telephone and text messages, or remote collection, without on-site visit or face-to-face negotiation with debtors. We purposefully do not engage in face-to-face interaction to avoid potential physical confrontation with debtors, control compliance-related risks, streamline and standardize the collection process, and increase collection efficiency. Our quality assurance team leverages our technology and IT system to better monitor the conduct of our collection specialists during the collection process. For example, our operating portal records all telephone conversations with debtors, and our intelligent speech recognition system transcribes these recordings into text for our quality assurance team to review internally in accordance with our quality assurance protocol. In addition, we coordinate and manage all client engagements and collection assignment allocations centrally through our Changsha headquarters as part of an integrated and centralized operation management system, or centralized management. We have 34 operating centers located in 29 cities across China. Our proprietary operating portal automatically and centrally assigns and adjusts collection tasks to collection specialists at headquarters and other operating centers monthly following its pre-set distribution rules considering factors such as the performance and current workload of a particular collection specialist and the value and difficulty of the collection tasks. We believe our centralized management allows us to consolidate marketing efforts, standardize the collection process and monitor quality compliance of thousands of our collection specialists. We believe our centralized management enables us to expand rapidly and efficiently while maintaining our service quality.

        We are committed to maintaining and upgrading our technological advances. We focus on building our technology platform, which is supported by our proprietary customer database. Our integrated platform and information technology ensure efficient data mapping and robust reporting capabilities to generate continuously improving collection results. For example, our proprietary information technology system, or operating portal, supports core processing and analytics functions of our business under a set of integrated databases and is designed to be both replicable and scalable to accommodate our organic growth. Our system is also configured with multiple layers of security modules, as part of our overall data privacy and security program, to protect our database from unauthorized access.

        We believe the expertise of our collection team is critical to the success of our business. Our experience is that the tenure and the productivity of our collection specialists are positively correlated to our performance. Experienced collection specialists are critical in conducting skip tracing and negotiation with debtors. As a result, we place considerable focus on the attracting, nurturing, retaining and motivating of our collection team by providing mentorship, continued education and promotion track based on performance. In addition, we employ a performance monitoring system to monitor our collection specialists' activities and set daily minimum performance standards, which is linked to our compensation structure based on performance. We also adopt a unique team structure with a clear division of labor and close collaboration across different levels for efficient collection process. We expect continued improvement in productivity and profitability as our collection specialists accumulate experience over time. As of June 30, 2019, we had 10,915 full time collection specialists in our operating centers located in 29 cities in China which constituted 95.0% of our employees. The full time collection specialists include 1,109 collection specialists who have years of experience and are qualified to conduct direct negotiation with debtors. Monthly

average amount collected per collection specialist reached RMB27,385 (US$3,989) for the six months ended June 30, 2019, which was 27.5% higher than the corresponding period in 2018.

        Mr. Tan, our founder, has more than 15 years of experience in collecting delinquent consumer receivables. Mr. Tan has utilized his backgrounds in law and entrepreneurship to lead our business operation. Mr. Tan also devoted his expertise and resources to the development of legislation, industry standards, as well as education in the area of delinquent consumer receivables recovery. With the vision of institutionalizing a transparent consumer credit recovery industry in China in mind, Mr. Tan founded our company to focus on collecting delinquent consumer receivables.

Recent Development

        We set forth below certain key updated financial and operating data that we believe are useful to investors and fairly represent our results of operations and financial performance for the two months ended August 31, 2019. These preliminary data may change and those changes may be material. As a result, these preliminary data may not be consistent with our consolidated financial statements for such period when they are completed and publicly disclosed. See "Risk Factors", "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations", "Business" and "Forward-Looking Statements" for additional information.

        As of September 30, 2019, our balance of delinquent consumer receivables under collection amounts to RMB44.6 billion (US$6.4 billion). The business volume remained largely stable during the two months ended August 31, 2019 while other operating metrics grew significantly. Our operating results and margins for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were impacted by the closing of approximately 20 newly established regional office and one-off comprehensive compliance review in the second quarter of 2019. Our performance and margins have since rebounded from those one-off events; for the two months ended August 31, 2019, most of our operating metrics have returned to normalized level. Our blended effective commission rate for the two months ended August 31, 2019 has decreased by 7.8% compared to the corresponding period in 2018, due to our engagement of relatively more primary and secondary receivables with lower effective commission rates compared to tertiary receivables. The commission rate of our tertiary business has remained stable.

Our Industry

        China's consumer credit market has experienced substantial growth in recent years due to a fast growing economy and an evolving consumer base. The government's effort to implement policies promoting consumption and spending consumption upgrades in terms of quantity and quality and increasing popularity of consumer lending has in turn triggered the high growth of consumer lending.

        China's delinquent consumer receivables recovery market is in its early stage of development and has experienced a high rate of growth since 2013, compared to more mature markets such as that of the United States. According to iResearch, total revenue generated by China's delinquent consumer receivables recovery market grew at a CAGR of 48.5% from 2013 to 2017, compared with a CAGR of 2.9% in the U.S. market during the same period. At the same time, market share of the top three service providers measured by total revenue, or market concentration, was 4.3% for China's market, compared with 28.6% for the U.S. market in 2017. iResearch believes that major market participants in China have growth opportunities through consolidation of the fragmented market shares with reputable brand, strong relationships with financial institutions and sufficient resources, such as human and capital resources.

        The key characteristics of the tertiary receivable recovery market are lower collection rate, higher commission rate, high entry barrier and potential for operations expansion.

        The delinquent consumer receivables recovery industry in China is highly fragmented. As of June 30, 2019, there were over 3,000 delinquent receivables collection service providers in the market. YX ranked first in the credit card receivables recovery market in terms of of receivables under collection, number of collection specialists as of June 30, 2019. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, YX also led the credit card receivables recovery market in terms of total commission received.

    Incorporation of British Virgin Islands holding company, Hong Kong holding company and WFOE.    In August 2018, YX Asset Recovery Limited established a wholly-owned subsidiary in the British Virgin Islands named YX International Holding Ltd. In September 2018, YX International Holding Ltd established a wholly-owned subsidiary in Hong Kong named YX Services Limited. In November 2018, YX Services Limited established a wholly-owned subsidiary in China named Hunan Yong Xiong Intelligence Technology Co., Ltd., which we refer to as the wholly-foreign-owned enterprise in Hunan, or Hunan WFOE, which we will de-register in                   2019. In January 2019, YX Services Limited established a wholly-owned subsidiary in China named Shanghai Yong Xiong Information Technology Services Co., Ltd., which we refer to as the wholly-foreign-owned enterprise in Shanghai, or Shanghai WFOE in this prospectus. For the avoidance of doubt, we refer to Hunan WFOE as our WFOE from November 8, 2018 to January 11, 2019, and we refer to Shanghai WFOE as our WFOE from January 12, 2019 onwards.

    Contractual arrangements.    Our operations involve value-added telecommunications services. Due to PRC restrictions or prohibitions on foreign ownership of value-added telecommunications businesses in China, we operate our business in China through the Yong Xiong Group, a PRC domestic entity, in which we have no direct ownership interest. In November 2018, we, Hunan WFOE, and other parties entered into a series of contractual arrangements with the Yong Xiong Group, which we refer to as our VIE in this prospectus, and its respective shareholders. These contractual arrangements enable us to exercise effective control over our VIE, receive substantially all of the economic benefits of our VIE, and have the exclusive option to purchase all or part of the equity interests in and assets of our VIE to the extent permitted by PRC law. Due to operational reasons, we entered into a series of contractual arrangements with Shanghai WFOE, our VIE and other parties in January 2019, which superseded those entered into in November 2018. We have further amended and restated the contractual arrangements in March 2019 based on the change of the ownership structure of our VIE. These contractual arrangements contain the same terms and conditions as those entered into in November 2018, and continue to have the same effect on the relationship between our VIE and us.

        As a result of our restructuring and the VIE contractual arrangements, we are the primary beneficiary of our VIE, and we treat the Yong Xiong Group and its subsidiaries as our consolidated variable interest entities under U.S. GAAP. We rely on dividends and other distributions paid to us by our WFOE, which in turn depends on the service fees that our VIE pays to our WFOE. The amount of dividends we will collect from our WFOE depends on our dividend policy. We do not expect to collect any dividend from our WFOE in the foreseeable future because we do not expect to pay any dividend to our shareholders. For more details, please see "Dividend Policy." Our WFOE will collect service fees from our VIE pursuant to the VIE contractual arrangements, according to which our VIE should pay service fees to our WFOE after our VIE reserves funds for reasonable profits and costs. Our WFOE has the right to make discretionary determination on the amount of service fees to be collected from our VIE. We currently, and expect that we will, in the near future, derive substantially all of our revenues from our VIE, subject to future business plans. However, we do not have unfettered

access to our WFOE's and VIE's revenues due to PRC legal restrictions on the payment of dividends by PRC companies, foreign exchange control restrictions, and the restrictions on foreign investment, among others. For more details and risks related to our variable interest entity structure, please see "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure." We have consolidated the financial results of our VIE and its subsidiaries in our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

        In August 2018, Mr. Tan, Ms. Zhou, the Yong Xiong Group, and other related parties entered into a framework agreement with Shanghai Zhong Ping Guo Jing M&A Equity Investment Fund Limited Partnership, or Zhong Ping Capital to set forth the commercial arrangements among the parties, pending execution of the definitive agreements. The parties first entered into the framework agreement rather than immediately agreeing to a definitive agreement because, in order for Mr. Tan to receive the deposit payment from Zhong Ping Capital in a timely manner, the principal terms of the transaction had to be agreed to as soon as possible. These principal terms were memorialized in the framework agreement. In addition, we believe that the transaction with Zhong Ping Capital will enable us to utilize Zhong Ping Capital's expertise and experience in the professional investment industry to strengthen our corporate profile and corporate governance as well as to diversify our shareholder composition.

        In January 2019, we, Mr. Tan, Ms. Zhou, the Yong Xiong Group and other parties entered into an amended and restated shares sale and purchase agreement with Zhong Ping Capital and Shanghai Hengxiong Enterprise Management Consulting Limited Partnership, an affiliate of Zhong Ping Capital, or Zhong Ping Vehicle, pursuant to which Zhong Ping Vehicle agreed to acquire 2,000,000 ordinary shares of YX Asset Recovery Limited from Mr. Tan with cash consideration of RMB300,000,000, representing 20% equity interest of YX Asset Recovery Limited immediately prior to the completion of this offering. In November 2018, Zhong Ping Vehicle and Mr. Tan entered into an equity transfer agreement, pursuant to which Zhong Ping Vehicle agreed to purchase a nominal 0.0001% equity interest of the Yong Xiong Group from Mr. Tan immediately prior to the completion of this offering. The purchase of 2,000,000 ordinary shares of YX Asset Recovery Limited and the purchase of nominal 0.0001% equity interest of the Yong Xiong Group by Zhong Ping vehicle are collectively referred to as the Zhong Ping Transactions. At the closing of the Zhong Ping Transactions, 2,000,000 ordinary shares of YX Asset Recovery Limited were re-designated as 2,000,000 series A convertible preferred shares or, Series A preferred shares, to Zhong Ping Vehicle.

        In January 2019, we, YX Management Holding Ltd., an entity wholly-owned by Mr. Tan, the Yong Xiong Group and other parties entered into an amended and restated share sale and purchase agreement with Changsha Lugu Hi-Tech Mobile Internet Venture Capital Co., Ltd., or Lugu, pursuant to which Lugu agreed to purchase, or designate its affiliate to acquire 60,000 ordinary shares of YX Asset Recovery Limited from YX Management Holding Ltd. with cash consideration of RMB9,000,000, representing 0.6% equity interest of YX Asset Recovery Limited immediately prior to the completion of this offering, or the Lugu Transaction. At the closing of the Lugu Transaction in March 2019, 60,000 ordinary shares of YX Asset Recovery Limited were re-designated as 60,000 Series A preferred shares to Lugu.

        In July 2019, we incorporated Zhuhai Yongxiong Information Technology Services Co., Ltd for the purpose of back office management and operation.

        In August 2019, we and Mr. Tan entered into a Series B preferred share purchase agreement with Rainflower Investments Limited, or Rainflower, which was subsequently amended and restated by the parties in October 2019. Pursuant to the Series B preferred share purchase agreement, we agreed to issue and Rainflower agreed to subscribe 100 redeemable convertible Series B preferred shares, or Series B preferred shares, of YX Asset

Table of Contents

Recovery Limited with cash consideration of USD15,000,000, which transaction we refer to as the Rainflower Transaction. Rainflower is a subsidiary of Avenue Capital Group, or Avenue. At the closing of the Rainflower Transaction, we issued 100 Series B preferred shares to Rainflower. Avenue is a seasoned strategic investor specialized in dealing in distressed debts. We believe our partnership with Avenue will create synergies through the leveraging of our expertise in collection of delinquent consumer receivables and Avenue's rich market experience in investment in distressed debt.

        In August 2019, we and Mr. Tan entered into a Series C preferred share purchase agreement with EP Next China Fund I, or EP Next China, which was subsequently amended and restated by the parties in October 2019. Pursuant to the Series C preferred share purchase agreement we agreed to issue and EP Next China agreed to subscribe 50 redeemable convertible Series C preferred shares, or Series C preferred shares, of YX Asset Recovery Limited with cash consideration of USD5,000,000 which transaction we refer to as the EP Next China Transaction. EP Next China is affiliated with Earnest Partner LLC, or Earnest. At the closing of the EP Next China Transaction, we issued 50 Series C preferred shares to EP Next China.

        Our founder, chairman and chief executive officer, Mr. Tan, is critical to our success. Therefore, we expect that Mr. Tan will maintain super-majority control over the outcome of matters that require shareholders' vote upon the completion of this offering. We will adopt a dual-class share structure immediately upon the completion of this offering by (i) converting all outstanding Series A preferred shares into 2,060,000 ordinary shares; (ii) re-designating all outstanding ordinary shares (other than ordinary shares held by YX Major Limited) into 8,500,000 Class A ordinary shares; (iii) re-designating all outstanding ordinary shares held by YX Major Limited into 1,500,000 Class B ordinary shares; and (iv) authorizing [    ·    ] Class A ordinary shares for the conversion of Series B preferred shares and Series C preferred shares, for more details regarding Series B and Series C conversion options, please see "Description of Share Capital—Series A, Series B and Series C preferential rights." The dual-class share structure will give disproportionate voting power to the Class B ordinary shares held by YX Major Limited, of which Mr. Tan is the sole shareholder and sole director. As a result, Mr. Tan may exercise          % of our aggregate voting power, and super-majority control over the outcome of matters that require shareholders' vote upon the completion of this offering.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

        As a company with less than US$1.07 billion in revenue for the last fiscal year, we qualify as an "emerging growth company" pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (as amended by the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act of 2015), or the JOBS Act. As such, we may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include exemption from the auditor attestation requirement under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or Section 404, in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting. Under the JOBS Act, we also do not need to comply with any new or revised financial accounting standards until the date that private companies are required to do so.

        We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of our fiscal year during which we have total annual gross revenues of at least US$1.07 billion; (ii) the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of completion of this offering; (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than US$1.07 billion in non-convertible debt; or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a "large accelerated filer" under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our ADSs that are held by non-affiliates exceeds US$700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter. Once we cease to be an emerging growth company, we will not be entitled to the exemptions provided in the JOBS Act discussed above.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

        We use adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures, in evaluating our operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. Adjusted net income represents net income excluding share-based compensation expenses, and such adjustment has no impact on income tax.

        We believe that adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that we include in net income. We believe that adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA provide useful information about our operating results, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.

        Adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to net income or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of our operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review the historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Adjusted net income and Adjusted EBITDA presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to our data. We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

RISK FACTORS

        You should carefully consider the risks described below in connection with reviewing this prospectus. If any of the events referred to below actually occurs, our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operation could suffer. In that case, the trading price of the ADSs could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment. You should also refer to the other information in this prospectus, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes.


Risks Related to Our Business

We may not be able to collect delinquent consumer receivables efficiently and a decline in our ability to collect delinquent consumer receivables could adversely affect our ability to generate revenues.

        The success of our business depends on our ability to collect delinquent consumer receivables efficiently. Our clients pay us a certain percentage of the total amount of delinquent consumer receivables collected as commission; the commission rates correlate strongly to our collection rates. Our operations have been profitable largely due to the fact that we have been able to collect these delinquent consumer receivables efficiently, and thus receive a relatively high commission rate. Our ability to collect delinquent consumer receivables and generate revenues may be adversely affected by the debtors' inability to repay in a bad economy, the quality of the receivables, or any problem with our operating portal. If we are unable to collect these delinquent consumer receivables efficiently in the future, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be significantly and adversely impacted.

Our operating margin will suffer if we are not able to maintain our commission, utilize our collection specialists and assets efficiently or maintain and improve the current mix of services that we deliver.

        Our operating margin is largely a function of the commission that we receive for our services, the efficient use of our technology, and the utilization of our collection specialists. Our business model is predicated on our ability to objectively quantify the value that we provide to our clients. If we fail to succeed on any of these objectives, we may experience a decline in our current operating margin.

        The commission we receive for our services, and our ability to manage our technology and collection specialists efficiently, are affected by a number of factors, including but not limited to:

    our clients' perceptions of our ability to add value through our services;

    our ability to negotiate on commercial terms with our clients;

    our ability to objectively differentiate and verify the value we offer to our clients;

    competition;

    introduction of new services by us or our competitors;

    cost of communication services;

    our ability to estimate demand for our services;

    our ability to control costs and improve the efficiency of our collection specialists; and

    general economic and political conditions, including Sino-American relations.

        If we are not able to maintain our commission rates or utilize our collection specialists and assets efficiently, our results of operations may be adversely affected.

We operate a socially sensitive business. Public complaints against the delinquent consumer receivables recovery industry generally or against us in particular may result in increased regulatory risk, which may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        The general public may have certain misconceptions about the receivables recovery industry, such as the perceived use of unlawful means to collect debts. Given the growth of collection service providers in China, the contentious nature associated with debt collection, the unpredictability of debtor behavior, and the inflow of small scale market participants with weak compliance protocols, the delinquent consumer receivables recovery industry is subject to potentially higher and unpredictable government scrutiny. Such development could subject our operations to regulatory restrictions, government investigations, administrative fines and increased compliance requirements. As a result, our business and our ability to generate revenues could be materially and adversely affected.

        Furthermore, negative publicity about our industry and business creates the possibility of heightened attention from the public, the media and government regulators. From time to time, complaints or allegations against us, regardless of their veracity, may result in negative publicity, which in turn could result in government inquiry or reputational harm. There is no assurance that we would not become a target for public scrutiny in the future or such scrutiny and public exposure would not severely damage our reputation as well as our business and prospects. Furthermore, we rely heavily on our reputation to develop and maintain client relationships. Commercial banks and online consumer finance companies may refuse to work with us if we suffer from a tarnished reputation, since any perceived or actual violation of laws and regulations by service providers could increase our clients' regulatory risks. As such, our business is particularly vulnerable to negative media coverage and negative publicity.

        In addition, our directors and management may become subject to scrutiny by the media and the public regarding our business, which may result in unverified, inaccurate or misleading information about our directors and management being reported by the press. Negative publicity about our directors or management, even if untrue or inaccurate, may harm our reputation.

        Debtors may file complaints, with or without merits, against our collection services with our clients or government regulatory agencies, in particular, China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, or CBIRC and other commercial regulatory agencies, alleging improper conduct and violations of law. Major complaints may result in clients penalizing us monetarily, or clients suspending collection services of a certain geographic area. Since our inception, there have been three incidents where our collection services of certain geographic areas were suspended by the clients due in part to complaints filed by debtors. We have conducted internal investigations regarding each allegation in accordance with our policy and resume relationship with the clients. As of the date of this prospectus, we have either resumed service or expect to resume service soon in the particular geographic areas for each of the three clients. However, we cannot assure you that we will not be subject to other major complaints in the future, due to the contentious nature associated with debt collection and unpredictable debtor behavior.

We may not be able to obtain sufficient delinquent consumer receivables for collection from our clients to sustain our business operations.

        We provide services to commercial banks and online consumer finance companies to collect the delinquent consumer receivables that our clients are not able to collect on their own or through other collection service providers. The fees that we receive for collecting these delinquent consumer receivables currently represent almost all of our revenues, and we expect this trend to continue in the future. To operate profitably, we must continuously receive a sufficient supply of delinquent consumer receivables for collection from our clients.

        The availability of delinquent consumer receivables for collection depends on a number of factors outside of our control, including the continued growth of consumer debts in China. The growth in consumer debts may be affected by commercial banks and online consumer finance companies underwriting criteria and government regulations with respect to consumer loans. Any slowing of the consumer debt growth could result in less credit being extended. Therefore, there can be no assurance that our existing or potential clients will continue to outsource their delinquent consumer receivables at recent levels or at all, or that we may be able to continue to offer competitive bids or services for delinquent consumer receivable collection.

        If we are unable to maintain, develop and expand our business or adapt to changing market needs as well as our current or future competitors are able to do, or if the amount of outsourced delinquent consumer receivables available in the market for collection decreases, we may not be able to obtain the same amount of delinquent consumer receivables for collection from our clients as we have in the past. As a result, we may not be able to generate the same level of revenues or profits to sustain our operations.

We are heavily dependent on several major clients.

        We provide receivables collection service to a number of commercial banks and online consumer finance companies. Historically our major clients varied from period to period. Our top five clients as measured by revenue generated during each period, in aggregate provided, 99.2%, 90.2% and 79.2% of our revenues in 2017, 2018 and the six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. If our business relationships with any of these major clients deteriorate or terminate, or if our clients cease to operate due to legal, compliance or any other reasons, the total amount of delinquent consumer receivables that we receive for collection may decrease. As new client relationships are challenging and time-consuming to develop, any termination could significantly and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        As required by our business, we assign or delegate collection assignments to our branch companies, subsidiaries and affiliates from time to time. Such assignment and delegation may not be permissible under our contracts. In addition, we may be required to destroy certain debtor information or return it to our clients within the agreed time period. Our relationships with major clients may deteriorate and we may be involved in lawsuits if we breach contractual terms, such as any unauthorized assignment or delegation to our branch companies, subsidiaries and affiliates, or failure to fully comply with our contractual commitments to timely destroy or return debtor information.

Table of Contents

We are highly dependent on our telecommunications and IT systems, and an interruption or error in those systems could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

        Our business is materially dependent on our proprietary operating portal and services provided by various telecommunications companies. Development and maintenance of our proprietary operating portal is time-consuming, expensive and complex, and may involve unforeseen difficulties. We may encounter technical obstacles, and it is possible that we may discover additional problems that prevent our operating portal from functioning properly and consequently adversely affect our information infrastructure and our business. If our equipment or systems cease to work or become unavailable, or if there is any significant interruption in telephone services, we may be prevented from providing services and collecting on delinquent consumer receivables. Our business also depends on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of our computer and communications systems. All of our computer hardware and our computing services are currently located in China. Although we have prepared for contingencies through redundancy measures and disaster recovery plans, such preparation may not be sufficient, and we currently do not carry business interruption insurance. Despite any precautions we may take, the occurrence of a natural disaster, such as an earthquake, flood or fire, or other unanticipated problems at our offices in China, including power outages, telecommunications delays or failures, break-ins to our systems or computer viruses, could result in delays or interruptions to our marketplaces and platforms, loss of our and debtors' data and business interruption for us. Any of these events could damage our reputation, significantly disrupt our operations and subject us to liability, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Changes in fee arrangements in collection assignments upon renewal could adversely affect our ability to generate revenues.

        Our clients may change commercial terms upon the renewal of engagements, which may not be as favorable compared to those of the previous engagements due to reasons that are not in our control, such as new limitations imposed by the clients' internal budgets. The commercial terms subject to change may include the highest commission rate that could be paid under such agreement, or the highest commission rate, payment schedule and requirement for deposit payments. Since clients usually have the stronger bargaining power in negotiating these terms, we tend to accept their proposed terms. For example, in June 2016, we entered into a portfolio collection service agreement with a new client, which set the highest commission rate at 60%. We collected more receivables than the client's projection and the commission we were contracted to receive under such agreement exceeded the client's internal budgets to pay third-party service providers for such assignment. Therefore, the client reduced the highest commission rate in our next assignment from 60% to 45%. As a result, our ability to generate revenues and our profitability may be adversely affected by our clients' actions, which are beyond our control.

Our employees may violate our compliance policies, our clients' collection standards and government rules and regulations during the collection process.

        We have compliance policies to instruct and guide our employees' actions during the course of the collection process to comply with our clients' collection standards and government rules and regulations. However, our employees may not comply with our compliance policies and observe our clients' collection standards, and our employees may make verbal or written threats of physical harm, use vulgar or inappropriate language or

21


Table of Contents

agree to unauthorized repayment arrangements with debtors, among other actions, in order to increase the likelihood of collection.

        Furthermore, our employees may violate laws and regulations in the collection process. Our employees may use illegal tactics such as impersonation of government officials or fabricated documents to exert influence over debtors, and they may solicit debtor's personal information illegally, and sell debtor information to third parties for their personal financial gains.

        Although these are individual acts, violation of our compliance policies or our clients' standards may adversely affect our business, cause reputational damage, or result in monetary penalties or loss of business. If the violations are severe, our clients may terminate our services and cease cooperation with us in the future. For example, in June 2018, one of our major clients suspended our collection services in Anhui province due to alleged improper conduct by our employees. See "Business—Compliance and Quality Control—Complaints Against Our Service." In addition, the government may investigate our operations for potential violations of government rules and regulations, which may interrupt our normal operations, and we may be subject to administrative penalties such as monetary penalties or, in the most severe circumstances, suspension of our business.

We have a limited operating history and our historical financial and operating performance may not be indicative of our future results of operations.

        Our company only commenced our delinquent unsecured consumer receivables recovery business in 2015, although our founder and senior management have accumulated over 15 years of experience in the delinquent consumer receivables recovery industry. As such, we have a limited operating history for you to evaluate our business, financial performance and prospects. We derive substantially all of our revenues from our tertiary receivable collection service, which is a business model that has undergone, and continues to experience, rapid and dramatic changes. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and 2018 and the six months ended June 30, 2019, we generated revenues of RMB595.3 million, RMB757.8 million (US$110.4 million) and RMB515.1 million (US$75.0 million), respectively. As a result, we have very little operating history for you to evaluate in assessing our future prospects. We may not be able to achieve similar results or growth in future periods. Our business model may become obsolete due to development of other business models or technologies.

        We have primarily focused on the collection of credit card receivables for commercial banks but have started to provide more online receivables collection services since 2018. Although we currently focus our development on the associated consumer finance companies of the largest internet companies and commercial banks in China that provide online loans, this aspect of our business remains in the early stages of its development. Accordingly, we have a limited operating history in the collection of online receivables and we may not have the experience and resources to analyze and collect online receivables as we do with credit card receivables.

        The prospects of our online receivables collection operation must be considered in light of the risks and uncertainties accompanied with early business development. From 2017 to June 30, 2019, we have successfully collected RMB843.3 million of online receivables for our clients. Our limited operating history makes prediction of future performance difficult.

        You must consider our business and prospects in light of the risks and difficulties we will encounter as an early-stage company in a new and rapidly evolving market. Our ability to maintain profitability primarily depends on many factors, including our ability to compete effectively in this market, our expertise in the collection of tertiary receivables, volume of

22


Table of Contents

receivables under collection, our clients' willingness to waive deposits, our reputation to collect receivables in a timely fashion, our relationships with clients, our technology and IT infrastructure, our ability to bid on charged-off debt portfolios at appropriate terms, our ability to manage debtor complaints, our successful development of collection business with online consumer finance companies, and our team of collection specialists who provide quality customer service and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. We may not be able to maintain such qualities or sustain profitability on an annual basis. Accordingly, you should not rely on our results of operations for any prior period as an indication of our future performance. We may not be able to effectively assess or address the evolving risks and difficulties present in the market, which could threaten our capacity to continue to operate successfully in the future. We have a very limited operating history and our prospects must be considered in light of the risks and uncertainties that face early-stage companies.

Our revenues would be adversely affected if our clients develop, use or adopt an alternative to our services.

        If our clients decide to develop their own receivables collection solution or platform internally or rely on their in-house collection team and other service providers, our business could be adversely affected. For example, our clients may require our collection specialists to sign into our clients' proprietary receivable collection system to access debtor information, instead of allowing us to use such information in our system. Since our success largely depends on our ability to use our advanced technology system to process successful collections, clients resorting to such alternate systems may eliminate our advantage. In addition, our clients may decide against the use of third party service providers altogether by relying on internal and proprietary resources, which could result in the reduction or loss of substantially all of our revenues.

We may not be able to manage our growth effectively.

        We expanded rapidly since our formation and intend to continue to expand our business in terms of market segment participation, regional presence and strategic partnerships. However, our growth will place significant demands on our resources, and we may not manage our growth effectively in the future. In order to successfully manage our growth, we need to:

    upgrade our administrative infrastructure to effectively oversee and manage the new business operations and regional offices;

    continue to improve our management, financial and information systems and controls to enable nation-wide support to all regional offices;

    provide comparable training and management to our current and new employees to meet the challenges entailed by the growth; and

    provide competitive compensation package, and adjust our operations to support our geographical expansion.

        Continued growth could place a strain on our management, operations and resources. We cannot assure you that our infrastructure, facilities and personnel will be adequate to support our future operations or to effectively adapt to future growth. If we cannot manage our growth effectively, our results of operations may be adversely affected.

Table of Contents

We may not be able to diversify our operations successfully.

        Our current operations focus on the collection of tertiary receivables. While our business has been profitable, the lack of business diversification makes us vulnerable to market volatility within this particular market segment. We may further expand our operation for the collection of fresh, primary and secondary delinquent consumer receivables as well as acquire delinquent consumer receivables for our own collection to diversify our operations.

        However, the primary and secondary delinquent consumer receivable market segments are highly competitive. As a new market participant, we may not compete successfully with the current market participants who have substantially longer operating histories and greater financial resources. There is no assurance that the strategy and methods we developed in the collection of tertiary receivables will be effective in the collection of fresh, primary and secondary delinquent consumer receivables. If we are not be able to offer competitive services, we may not be able obtain fresh, primary and secondary delinquent consumer receivables from potential clients.

        We have limited experience in the acquisition of delinquent consumer receivables for our own collection. The PRC government has not allowed the trading of credit card receivables. Even if the law changes and allows our entry into such business, there is no assurance that we will receive the required regulatory licenses to purchase credit card receivables. The success of any receivable acquisition business largely depends on the ability to price credit card receivables portfolios, and we may not have the appropriate expertise to price such portfolios. Although delinquent consumer receivables are generally purchased at a significant discount, the actual amount collected will vary. The actual amount collected may be less than the amount expected or may even be less than the purchase price paid for such consumer receivables. In addition, the timing or amounts to be collected on those consumer receivables cannot be assured. If cash flows from operations are less than anticipated as a result of our inability to collect these consumer receivables, we may have difficulties servicing our debt obligations and may not be able to purchase new delinquent consumer receivables for collection.

        Therefore, our efforts to diversify our business and venture into new market segments may prove unsuccessful, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may not be successful in implementing our growth expansion strategy

        We had 34 offices in China as of June 30, 2019. We open new offices in order to attract local talent and to engage potential local clients.

        However, we had limited experience operating in cities and counties outside of Hunan province. We may face significant challenges to maintain our established standards, controls and policies in these regional offices, and we may not be able to integrate these regional offices into our established operations. In addition, there is no assurance that we will successfully hire local talent or obtain receivable collection service contracts from local clients. We also cannot predict the financial performance of these regional offices. Our management efficiency, business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely impacted if our geographical expansion is unsuccessful, because of the upfront investments for our regional offices.

Table of Contents

Our senior management team is important to our continued success and the loss of one or more members of senior management could negatively affect our operations.

        Our success depends substantially on the expertise and experience of our executive officers, who have extensive skills in and knowledge about the consumer receivables management industry in China. They also have established relationships with our major clients and government regulators. We do not maintain key-man life insurance for any of our executive officers. The loss of services of any or all of our executive officers in the absence of suitable replacements could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future profitability.

        In addition, if any of our executive officers joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose clients, research and development expertise and employees. We have employment agreements with Mr. Tan, our founder, chief executive officer and chairman of the board; Mr. Xiong Zhou, our executive vice president and Mr. Lei Li, our executive vice president, and most of our other senior executives. The current agreements contain covenants against competition that survive termination of employment. However, these agreements do not and will not assure the continued services of these senior executives, and we cannot assure you that covenants against competition will be enforceable. Our success depends on the continued service and performance of our executive officers, and we cannot guarantee that we will be able to retain those individuals. The loss of the services of Mr. Tan, Mr. Xiong Zhou, Mr. Lei Li or one or more of our other executive officers could seriously impair our ability to continue to collect delinquent consumer receivables efficiently and to manage and expand our business.

We may require additional financing in the future, and our operations could be curtailed if we are unable to obtain required additional financing when needed.

        We may need to obtain additional debt or equity financing to fund future business expansion and capital expenditures. While we do not anticipate seeking additional financing in the immediate future, the holders of our Series B preferred shares and Series C preferred shares may at any time prior to the 180th day after the effective date of this registration statement convert all or part of their outstanding preferred shares into Class A ordinary shares, and we may seek additional equity financing in the future, which may result in dilution to the holders of our outstanding shares of capital stock.

        The 100 Series B preferred shares owned by Rainflower may be converted to 389,610 Class A ordinary shares and the 50 Series C preferred shares owned by EP Next China may be converted to 129,870 Class A ordinary shares if our 2019 audited net earnings multiplied by 15 is more than US$385,000,000 at the time of the conversion or under certain other circumstances. If our 2019 audited net earnings multiplied by 15 is less than US$385,000,000 at the time of the conversion, holders of our Series B preferred shares and Series C preferred shares may be entitled to more Class A ordinary shares, but in no event will the total post-conversion shareholding percentage of the Series B preferred shareholder exceed 11.25% of the Company's pre-IPO total equity on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis and in no event will the total post-conversion shareholding percentage of the Series C preferred shareholder exceed 3.75% of the Company's pre-IPO total equity on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis. For more details regarding Series B and Series C conversion options, please see "Description of Share Capital—Series A, Series B and Series C preferential rights".

        Additional debt financing may restrict our business operations, including the following:

    limiting our ability to pay dividends or requiring us to seek consent for the payment of dividends;

25


Table of Contents

    increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

    requiring us to dedicate a portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our debt, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund capital expenditures, working capital and other general corporate purposes; and

    limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and our industry.

        We cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain additional financing on terms that are acceptable to us, or any financing at all.

Our failure to comply with government regulations could result in the suspension or termination of our business operations.

        The business scope indicated in the business licenses of the Yong Xiong Group and almost all our subsidiaries include, among others, activities in relation to the receivable collection business, such as services in relation to receivables management, and the collection business engaged by commercial banks and online consumer finance companies in connection with delinquent consumer receivables. We are required to operate within our registered business scope. As of the date of this prospectus, two of our subsidiaries engage in activities in relation to the receivable collection business, while their registered business scope do not cover corresponding items. These two subsidiaries may be deemed as operating beyond their registered business scope, which may subject us to fines or the suspension or even the cessation of operations. We do not directly derive any external revenue from the two subsidiaries, which mainly operate as our local operating centers. As of August 31, 2019, the two subsidiaries employed 208 full time collection specialists, which accounted for 2.1% among the total number of full time collection specialists employed by us. Relevant regulatory agencies may have the authority to recommend enforcement actions, confiscate illegal gains and impose monetary penalties on us if these agencies view our operations as exceeding such business scope. The regulatory agencies have the authority to investigate consumer complaints against debt collection companies like us and to recommend enforcement actions and impose monetary penalties. We may be routinely subjected regulatory investigations incidental to our business. Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could result in warnings, fines, confiscation of earnings, as well as the suspension or termination of our ability to conduct collections, which would materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        See "Regulation—Regulation on Delinquent Consumer Receivables Recovery Service Providers". As of the date of this prospectus, we did not received any notice of administrative penalty decision from relevant government authorities in connection with such potential non-compliance. Currently, we are in the process of applying for the relevant alteration registration with the relevant local regulatory agencies in relation to the business scope of each of such two subsidiaries to cover receivables management services. we are also in the process to acquire a company engaging in similar business in the same place of which the business scope is in full compliance with the relevant laws and regulations, to replace such subsidiary.

We experience high employee turnover rates and we may not be able to hire and retain a sufficient number of well-trained employees to support our operations.

        The delinquent consumer receivables recovery industry in China is very labor intensive, and we typically experience a relatively high rate of employee turnover. Competition for talent in the recovery industry is intense, and the availability of suitable and qualified candidates in

26


Table of Contents

China is limited. We will need to continue to attract and retain experienced and capable personnel at all levels as we expand our business and operations. We compete for qualified personnel with companies in our industry and in other industries. Competition for these individuals could cause us to offer higher compensation and other benefits to attract and retain them. Even if we were to offer higher compensation and other benefits, there is no assurance that these individuals will choose to join or continue to work for us. Our growth requires that we continually hire and train new collection specialists. A higher turnover rate among our collection specialists will increase our recruiting and training costs and limit the number of experienced collection specialists available to service our delinquent consumer receivables. If this occurs, we would not be able to service our delinquent consumer receivables effectively, which could reduce our ability to continue our growth and maintain or improve profitability.

If we are not able to respond to technological advances in a timely manner, we may not remain competitive.

        Our success depends in a large part on our technology and IT infrastructure. We use these systems to identify, locate and contact large numbers of debtors and record the results of our collection efforts, as well as to provide customer service to our clients. If we are not able to respond to advances in telecommunications and computer technologies in a timely manner, we may not be able to remain competitive. We have made significant investments in technology to remain competitive and we anticipate that it will be necessary to continue to do so in the future. Telecommunications and computer technologies are changing rapidly and are characterized by short product life cycles, so we must anticipate technological developments. If we are not successful in anticipating, managing, or adopting technological changes on a timely basis or if we do not have the capital resources available to invest in new technologies, our business could be materially adversely affected.

Security and privacy breaches, and failure to comply with personal information protection laws and regulations could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

        We collect, generate and process a large amount of personal data. Our databases contain our clients' customer data, including credit card information and other personal information. Any security or privacy breach of these databases could expose us to liability, increase our expenses relating to the resolution of these breaches and deter our clients from selecting our service. We face risks inherent in handling large volumes of data and in securing and protecting such data. For example, we face challenges protecting the data in our systems, including attacks on our system by external parties or fraudulent behavior by our employees.

        In addition, we are subject to various personal information protection laws and regulations in China, which regulate the data collection, storage, use, processing, disclosure and transfer of personal information. While we take measures to comply with all applicable personal information protection laws and regulations, we cannot guarantee the effectiveness of these measures. For example, during our skip tracing process, our collection specialist may utilize a series of online/offline search channels, and they may use illegal methods to solicit and collect debtor's personal information. Any failure or perceived failure to comply with any applicable personal information protection laws and regulations, or any failure or perceived failure of our employees to comply with our internal control measures may result in negative publicity, legal proceedings or regulatory actions against us. These results could damage our reputation, discourage current and potential clients from engaging our services and subject us to fines and government investigations, which could have a material adverse effect on our

27


Table of Contents

business, results of operations and financial condition. See "RegulationsRegulations on Personal Information Protection."

        Furthermore, the interpretation and application of personal information protection laws and regulations are uncertain and evolving. We cannot assure you that relevant governmental authorities will not interpret or implement the laws or regulations in ways that negatively affect us. In addition, we may become subject to additional laws and regulations that come into effect regarding the protection of personal information in connection with debtor information to which we have access. Compliance with these additional regulatory requirements could force us to incur substantial costs or require us to change our business practices. Any occurrence of the foregoing circumstances may negatively affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

If we fail to maintain the requisite licenses or comply with the regulatory requirements under the complex regulatory environment applicable to our businesses in China, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

        We have obtained value-added telecommunications service licenses, or VATS licenses, for the provision of value-added telecommunication services. These licenses are generally subject to alteration registration and regular government review or renewal. Due to the change of ownership structure of our VIE, we are currently applying for alteration registration of the VATS license held by our VIE. If we fail to maintain or renew our VAT licenses, we may be unable to continue some of our business operations, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We cannot assure you that we can successfully maintain or renew these licenses in a timely manner in the future or that these licenses are sufficient to conduct all of our present or future business.

        In addition, the outsourced delinquent consumer receivables recovery industry is still at an early stage of development in China, compared to more mature markets such as that of the United States. The regulatory framework of our industry is unclear since the PRC government has not adopted regulations specifically regulating independent delinquent consumer receivables recovery service providers. See "—Regulation on Delinquent Consumer Receivables Recovery Service Providers." Our failure to comply with any new rules or regulations introduced may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We may be unable to protect our proprietary intellectual property rights from unauthorized use, such that our brand, reputation and business may be negatively impacted.

        Our protection of our intellectual property is crucial to our success and future growth, as we rely on a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks and other rights to protect our know-how, proprietary technology, processes and other intellectual property. The protective measures we take may not be sufficient to prevent theft and unauthorized use. We may have to bring lengthy and costly litigation and take time-consuming measures in order to protect our intellectual property rights, diverting our management's attention from our business operation. Our brand, reputation and business may be negatively impacted by such measures and risks.

Our senior management lacks experience in managing a public company and complying with laws applicable to operating as a U.S. public company domiciled in the Cayman Islands and failure to comply with such obligations could have a material adverse effect on our business.

        Prior to the completion of this offering, we operated as a private company located in the PRC. In the process of taking steps to prepare us for this offering, the Yong Xiong Group's senior management became the senior management of YX Asset Recovery Limited. Most of the senior management of YX Asset Recovery Limited does not have experience managing a publicly listed company or managing a Cayman Islands exempted company.

        As a result of this offering, we will become subject to laws, regulations and obligations that do not currently apply to us, and most of our senior management currently do not have experience in complying with such laws, regulations and obligations. The senior management is only experienced in operating the business of the Yong Xiong Group in compliance with Chinese laws. Similarly, by virtue of this offering, YX Asset Recovery Limited will be required to file reports in compliance with U.S. securities and other laws. These obligations can be burdensome and complicated, and failure to comply with such obligations could have a material adverse effect on us. In addition, we expect that the process of learning about such new obligations as a public company in the United States will require our senior management to devote time and resources to such efforts that might otherwise be spent on the operation of our business.

We have limited business insurance coverage. Any future business liability, disruption or litigation we experience might divert management focus from our business and could significantly impact our financial results.

        Availability of business insurance products and coverage in the PRC is limited, and most business insurance products are expensive in relation to the coverage offered. We have determined that the risks of disruption, cost of such insurance and the difficulties associated with acquiring such insurances on commercially reasonable terms make it impractical for us to maintain such insurance policies. As a result, we do not have any business liability, disruption or litigation insurance coverage for our operations in the PRC, and we have not made any reserve for these purposes. Accordingly, a business disruption, litigation or natural disaster may result in substantial costs and divert management's attention from our business, which would have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Certain data and information in this prospectus was obtained from external third parties and we have not independently verified such data and information.

        In this prospectus we have utilized data and information from external sources including various third parties comprising government sources and private entities such as industry consultant iResearch. Such external sources of statistical data include projections based on numerous assumptions. The performance of the overall industry and segment affects our business and the market price of our ADSs, especially if they fail to grow at the projected rate. Further, the new and constantly evolving environment of the industry and market results in significant uncertainties, and the projections or estimates about the growth of the market in which we operate in should be considered in this context. If any of the assumptions underlying the market data prove to be incorrect, discrepancies between the projections and actual results may emerge.

        We have not independently verified data and information obtained from third party external sources, and the method of collection and methodologies employed by such third parties may differ from ours. In addition, these industry reports and publications generally include a disclaimer that the information therein is believed to be reliable but which accuracy and completeness cannot be guaranteed.

We rely on assumptions and estimates to calculate certain key operating metrics and inaccuracies in such metrics may harm our reputation and adversely affect our business.

        Certain key operating metrics in this prospectus are calculated using our internal data that have not been independently verified by third parties. While these numbers are based on what we believe to be reasonable calculations for the applicable periods of measurement, there are some challenges in measuring those metrics. In addition, our key operating metrics are derived and calculated based on different assumptions and estimates, and you should be cautious of such assumptions and estimates when assessing our operating performance.

        Our operating metrics may differ from estimates published by third parties or from similarly titled metrics used by our competitors due to differences in data availability, sources and methodology. If we discover material inaccuracies in our operating metrics, our reputation may be harmed and third parties may be less willing to allocate their resources or spending to us, which could adversely affect our business and operating results.

We may from time to time become party to litigation, other legal or administrative disputes, proceedings and investigations that may materially and adversely affect us.

        In the course of our ordinary business operations, we may become a party to litigation, legal proceedings, claims, disputes or arbitration proceedings from time to time. Any ongoing litigation, legal proceedings, claims, disputes or arbitration proceedings may distract our senior management's attention and consume our time and other resources. In addition, even if we ultimately succeed in such litigation, legal proceedings, claims, disputes or arbitration proceedings, there may be negative publicity attached to such litigation, legal proceedings, claims, disputes or arbitration proceedings, which may materially and adversely affect our reputation and brand names. In the case of an adverse verdict, we may be required to pay significant monetary damages, assume significant liabilities or suspend or terminate parts of our operations. As a result, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be materially and adversely affected.

        We are unable to predict all the risks and uncertainties that we face as a result of current economic, political, social and regulatory developments and many of these risks are beyond our control. All such factors may adversely affect our business and operations as well as our financial performance. For example, while China has a comprehensive set of laws, rules and regulations, the administration of economic affairs is also highly dependent on changes in national and regional policy, including the implementation of laws, rules and regulations. From time to time, particularly when certain activities are the target of greater policy scrutiny, key personnel of affected enterprises have had to respond to inquiries from Chinese regulatory authorities. The time and energy needed to respond to such inquiries may affect such persons' ability to devote full attention to their enterprises or, in extreme cases, step down from their roles. Resulting negative publicity from such inquiries, whether or not justified, may also have a negative effect on the results of operations of such enterprises.

Risks Related to Our Industry

Debtors may respond to our request for payment with unexpected reactions.

        Our primary method of collecting delinquent consumer receivables is to contact debtors by telephone, inform debtors about the disadvantages and potential consequences of having delinquent debts, and negotiate a payment plan with these debtors. However, debtors may not react to our requests for payments rationally. In certain extreme cases, debtors have threatened us with self-inflicted harm in an attempt to dissuade us from collection.

30


Table of Contents

        In addition, debtors have formed groups to strategize against collection service providers, including entrapment arrangements to induce collection specialists to violate compliance policies and laws and regulations. We are aware of the existence of certain online social media groups organized by debtors to strategize against collection activities, such as inducing collection specialists to use inappropriate language during the collection process and then recording such conversations as evidence against collection service providers in order to claim monetary damages or request reduction or cancellation of their debts.

        Debtors' actions are beyond our control. If any of their threats materializes, such threats may cause significant reputational damage to our operations and/or instigate a government investigation. Our clients may be discouraged from working with us due to the negative publicity caused by debtors' actions, which could result in an increase in staff turnover rates, a decrease in revenues and an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Government agencies may also initiate formal investigations as result of any materialized threats. Government agencies may detain our executives and employees and/or temporarily suspend or permanently shut down our business as part of the investigation. As of the date of this prospectus, government agencies have not initiated any investigation against us for violations during collection.

We operate in a highly competitive and fragmented market, and market competition could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, and limit our ability to increase market share.

        We operate in a highly competitive and fragmented market and expect competition to persist or intensify in the future. We compete with other collection service providers primarily on industry reputation and expertise in the collection of tertiary receivables, technology and IT infrastructure, relationships with clients, the services of well-trained collection specialists and compliance with applicable collections laws. Some of our competitors may have greater financial, human and other resources, longer operating histories, greater technological expertise, more recognizable brand names and more established relationships than we do in the industries that we currently serve or may serve in the future. Some of our competitors may enter into strategic or commercial relationships among themselves or with larger, more established companies through cooperation, mergers or acquisitions, in order to increase their ability to address client needs. Increased competition, pricing pressure or loss of market share could reduce our operating margin, which could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, our competitors may be able to develop or adopt new technologies faster than we can, or offer a broader range of services than we are presently able to offer.

        In addition, due to intense competition in our industry, we have been and may be the target of incomplete, inaccurate and false statements about our company that could damage our and our management's reputation and materially deter clients from working with us. Our ability to respond to our competitors' misleading marketing efforts may be limited by legal prohibitions on permissible public communications by us during our initial public offering process or during future periods.

Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure

If the agreements that establish the structure for certain of our operations in China do not comply with PRC regulations, or if these regulations or the interpretation of existing regulations change in the future, we could be subject to severe penalties or be forced to relinquish our interests in those operations.

        Our operations involve value-added telecommunications services and, due to PRC restrictions or prohibitions on foreign ownership of value-added telecommunications businesses in China, we operate our business in China through the Yong Xiong Group, a PRC domestic entity, in which we have no direct ownership interest. See "Corporate History and Structure—Regulation on Foreign Investment in Value—Added Telecommunications Businesses." In November 2018, we, Hunan WFOE and other parties entered into a series of contractual arrangements with our VIE and its shareholders, which enable us to (i) exercise effective control over our VIE; (ii) receive substantially all of the economic benefits of our VIE; and (iii) hold an exclusive option to purchase all or part of the equity interests and assets in our VIE when and to the extent permitted by PRC law. Due to operational reasons, we entered into a series of contractual arrangements with Shanghai WFOE, our VIE and other parties in January 2019, which superseded those entered into in November 2018. We have further amended and restated the contractual arrangements in March 2019 based on the change of the ownership structure of our VIE. These contractual arrangements contain the same terms and conditions as those entered into in November 2018, and continue to have the same effect on the relationship between our VIE and us. As a result of these contractual arrangements, we have control over and are the primary beneficiary of our VIE and hence consolidate its financial results into our consolidated financial statements under U.S. GAAP. See "Corporate History and Structure" for further details.

        In the opinion of Zhong Lun Law Firm, our PRC legal counsel, (i) the ownership structure of our VIE in China and Shanghai WFOE, both currently and immediately after giving effect to this offering, complies with all existing PRC laws and regulations; and (ii) the contractual arrangements among our company, Shanghai WFOE, our VIE and each of the shareholders of our VIE, governed by PRC law, are valid, binding and enforceable, and will not result in any violation of PRC laws or regulations currently in effect. Zhong Lung Law Firm is also of the opinion that (a) the ownership structure of our VIE in China and Hunan WFOE complied with all PRC laws and regulations then in effect from November 2018 to January 2019; and (b) the contractual arrangements among our company, Hunan WFOE, our VIE and each of the shareholders of our VIE, governed by PRC law, were valid, binding and enforceable, and did not result in any violation of PRC laws or regulations currently in effect. However, our PRC legal counsel has also advised us that there are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of current and future PRC laws, regulations and rules. Accordingly, the PRC regulatory authorities may take a view that is contrary to the opinion of our PRC legal counsel. It is uncertain whether any new PRC laws or regulations relating to variable interest entity structures will be adopted or, if adopted, what they would provide. If we or our VIE are found to be in violation of any existing or future PRC laws or regulations, or fail to obtain or maintain any of the required permits or approvals, the relevant PRC regulatory authorities would have broad discretion to take action in dealing with such violations or failures, including:

    discontinuing or placing restrictions or onerous conditions on our operations through any transactions between our WFOE and our VIE;

    imposing fines, confiscating the income from our WFOE or our VIE, or imposing other requirements with which we or our VIE may not be able to comply;

32


Table of Contents

    requiring us to restructure our ownership structure or operations, including terminating the contractual arrangements with our VIE and deregistering the equity pledges of our VIE, which in turn would affect our ability to consolidate, derive economic interests from, or exert effective control over our VIE; or

    restricting or prohibiting our use of the proceeds of this offering to finance our business and operations in China.

        The imposition of any of these penalties would result in a material and adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business. In addition, it is unclear what impact the PRC government actions would have on us and on our ability to consolidate the financial results of our VIE in our consolidated financial statements, if the PRC government authorities were to find our legal structure and contractual arrangements to be in violation of PRC laws and regulations. If the imposition of any of these government actions causes us to lose our right to direct the activities of our VIE or our right to receive substantially all the economic benefits and residual returns from our VIE and we are not able to restructure our ownership structure and operations in a satisfactory manner, we would no longer be able to consolidate the financial results of our VIE in our consolidated financial statements. Either of these results, or any other significant penalties that might be imposed on us, would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We rely on contractual arrangements with our VIE and its shareholders for a large portion of our business operations, which may not be as effective as direct ownership in providing operational control and otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

        We will rely on contractual arrangements with our VIE and its shareholders to conduct our businesses. These contractual arrangements may not be as effective as direct ownership in providing us with control over our VIE. For example, our VIE and its shareholders could breach their contractual arrangements with us by, among other things, failing to conduct its operations in an acceptable manner or taking other actions that are detrimental to our interests.

        If we had direct ownership of our VIE, we would be able to exercise our rights as a shareholder to effect changes in the board of directors of our VIE, which in turn could implement changes, subject to any applicable fiduciary obligations, at the management and operational level. However, under the current contractual arrangements, we will rely on the performance by our VIE and its shareholders of their obligations under the contracts to exercise control over our VIE. However, the shareholders of our VIE may not act in the best interests of our company or may not perform their obligations under these contracts. Such risks exist throughout the period in which we intend to operate certain portions of our business through the contractual arrangements with our VIE. If any dispute relating to these contracts remains unresolved, we will have to enforce our rights under these contracts through the operations of PRC law and arbitration, litigation and other legal proceedings and therefore will be subject to uncertainties in the PRC legal system. See "—Any failure by our VIE or its shareholders to perform their obligations under our contractual arrangements with them would have a material and adverse effect on our business." Therefore, our contractual arrangements with our VIE may not be as effective in ensuring our control over the relevant portion of our business operations as direct ownership would be.

        In addition, we executed a financial support undertaking letter addressed to our VIE, pursuant to which we irrevocably undertake to provide unlimited financial support to our VIE to the extent permissible under the applicable PRC laws and regulations, regardless of

33


Table of Contents

whether our VIE has incurred an operational loss. We will not request repayment of any outstanding loans or borrowings from our VIE under any circumstances. See "Corporate History and Structure—Contractual Arrangements with the VIE and Its Shareholders—Financial Support Undertaking Letter". If our VIE continuously incurs operational loss, and if, consequently, our VIE continuously requires financial support from us, such financial support would have a material and adverse effect on our business.

Any failure by our VIE or its shareholders to perform their obligations under our contractual arrangements with them would have a material and adverse effect on our business.

        We refer to the shareholders of our VIE as its nominee shareholders because although they remain the holders of equity interests on record in our VIE, pursuant to the terms of the relevant power of attorney executed by them, each such shareholder will irrevocably authorize our WFOE to exercise his, her or its rights as a shareholder of the VIE. However, if our VIE or its shareholders fail to perform their respective obligations under the contractual arrangements, we may be limited in our ability to enforce the contractual arrangements that give us effective control, and if we are unable to maintain effective control, we may not be able to continue to consolidate the VIE's financial results with our financial results. Furthermore, we may have to incur substantial costs and expend additional resources to enforce such arrangements. We may also have to rely on legal remedies under PRC law, including seeking specific performance or injunctive relief, and claiming damages, which we cannot assure you will be granted under PRC law. For example, if the shareholders of our VIE refuse to transfer their equity interest in our VIE to us or our designee if we exercise the purchase option pursuant to these contractual arrangements, or if they otherwise act in bad faith toward us, then we may have to take legal actions to compel them to perform their contractual obligations.

        All of the agreements under our contractual arrangements are governed by PRC law and provide for the resolution of disputes through arbitration in China. Accordingly, these contracts would be interpreted in accordance with PRC law, and any disputes would be resolved in accordance with PRC legal procedures. The legal system in the PRC is not as developed as in some other jurisdictions, such as the United States. As a result, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could limit our ability to enforce these contractual arrangements. See "—Risks Related to Doing Business in China—Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us." Meanwhile, there are very few precedents and little formal guidance as to how contractual arrangements in the context of a VIE should be interpreted or enforced under PRC law. There remain significant uncertainties regarding the ultimate outcome of such arbitration should legal action become necessary. In addition, under PRC law, rulings by arbitrators are final, parties cannot appeal the arbitration results in courts, and if the losing parties fail to carry out the arbitration awards within a prescribed time limit, the prevailing parties may only enforce the arbitration awards in PRC courts through arbitration award recognition proceedings, which would require additional expenses and delay. In the event we are unable to enforce these contractual arrangements, or if we suffer significant delays or other obstacles in the process of enforcing these contractual arrangements, we may not be able to exert effective control over our VIE, and our ability to conduct our business may be negatively affected.

The shareholders of our VIE may have potential conflicts of interest with us, which may materially and adversely affect our business and financial condition.

        The shareholders of our VIE may have potential conflicts of interest with us. These shareholders may breach, or cause our VIE to breach, or refuse to renew, the existing

34


Table of Contents

contractual arrangements we have with them and our VIE, which would have a material and adverse effect on our ability to effectively control our VIE and receive economic benefits from them. For example, the shareholders may be able to cause our agreements with our VIE to be performed in a manner adverse to us by, among other things, failing to remit payments due under the contractual arrangements to us on a timely basis. We cannot assure you that when conflicts of interest arise any or all of these shareholders will act in the best interests of our company or such conflicts will be resolved in our favor. Currently, we do not have any arrangements to address potential conflicts of interest between these shareholders and our company. If we cannot resolve any conflict of interest or dispute between us and these shareholders, we would have to rely on legal proceedings, which could result in disruption of our business and subject us to substantial uncertainty as to the outcome of any such legal proceedings.

Contractual arrangements in relation to our VIE may be subject to scrutiny by the PRC tax authorities and they may determine that we or our PRC VIE owe additional taxes, which could negatively affect our financial condition and the value of your investment.

        Under applicable PRC laws and regulations, arrangements and transactions among related parties may be subject to audit or challenge by the PRC tax authorities. We could face material and adverse tax consequences if the PRC tax authorities determine that the VIE contractual arrangements were not entered into on an arm's length basis in such a way as to result in an impermissible reduction in taxes under applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations, and adjust the income of our VIE in the form of a transfer pricing adjustment. A transfer pricing adjustment could, among other things, result in a reduction of expense deductions recorded by our VIE for PRC tax purposes, which could in turn increase its tax liabilities without reducing our WFOE's tax expenses. In addition, the PRC tax authorities may impose late payment fees and other penalties on our VIE for the adjusted but unpaid taxes according to the applicable regulations. Our financial position could be materially and adversely affected if our VIE's tax liabilities increase or if it is required to pay late payment fees and other penalties.

We may lose the ability to use and enjoy assets held by our VIE that are material to the operation of a certain portion of our business if our VIE enters bankruptcy or becomes subject to a dissolution or liquidation proceeding.

        As part of our contractual arrangements with our VIE, our VIE and its subsidiaries hold certain assets that are material to the operation of certain portion of our business, including intellectual property and premise. If our VIE enters bankruptcy and all or part of its assets become subject to liens or rights of third-party creditors, we may be unable to continue some or all of our business activities, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Under the contractual arrangements, our VIE may not, in any manner, sell, transfer, mortgage or dispose of their assets or legal or beneficial interests in the business without our prior consent. If our VIE undergoes a voluntary or involuntary liquidation proceeding, independent third-party creditors may claim rights to some or all of these assets, thereby hindering our ability to operate our business, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our current corporate structure and business operations may be affected by the newly enacted Foreign Investment Law.

        On March 15, 2019, the National People's Congress promulgated the Foreign Investment Law (the 'FIL'), which will come into effect on January 1, 2020 and replace the existing laws

35


Table of Contents

regulating foreign investment in China, namely, the Sino-foreign Equity Joint Venture Enterprise Law, the Sino-foreign Cooperative Joint Venture Enterprise Law and the Wholly Foreign-invested Enterprise Law, together with their implementation rules and ancillary regulations. The FIL embodies an expected PRC regulatory trend to rationalize its foreign investment regulatory regime in line with prevailing international practice and the legislative efforts to unify the corporate legal requirements for both foreign and domestic investments. See 'Regulation-Regulation on Foreign Investment.' However, since it is relatively new, uncertainties still exist in relation to interpretation and implementation of the FIL, especially with respect to, among other things, the nature of variable interest entities contractual arrangements, the promulgation schedule of both the "negative list" under the FIL, and specific rlues regulating the organization form of foreign-invested enterprises within the five-year transition period.

        The FIL does not explicitly classify whether variable interest entities controlled through contractual arrangements would be deemed as foreign-invested enterprises. Yet it has a catch-all provision under the definition of 'foreign investment' that includes investments made by foreign investors in China through other means as provided by laws, administrative regulations or rules of the State Council, which leaves leeway for future laws, administrative regulations or provisions of the State Council to stipulate contractual arrangements as a form of foreign investment. Therefore, there can be no assurance that our control over our VIE through contractual arrangements will not be deemed as foreign investment in the future. In the event that any possible implementing regulations of the FIL, any other future laws, administrative regulations or provisions deem contractual arrangements as a way of foreign investment, or if any of our operations through contractual arrangements is classified in the 'restricted' or 'prohibited' industry in the future 'negative list' under the FIL, our contractual arrangements may be deemed invalid and illegal, and we may be required to unwind the variable interest entity contractual arrangements and/or dispose of any affected business, any of which may have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.

        Furthermore, if future laws, administrative regulations or provisions mandate further actions to be taken with respect to existing contractual arrangements, we may face substantial uncertainties as to whether we can complete such actions in a timely manner, or at all. In addition, under FIL, foreign investors and foreign-invested enterprises will be subject to legal liabilities if they fail to report investment information in accordance with the FIL. The FIL also provides that foreign-invested enterprises established according to the existing laws regulating foreign investment may maintain their structure and corporate governance within a five-year transition period. We may be required to adjust the structure and corporate governance of certain of our PRC subsidiaries in such transition period. Failure to take timely and appropriate measures to cope with any of these or similar regulatory compliance challenges could materially and adversely affect our current corporate structure, corporate governance and business operations.


Risks Related to doing Business in China

Changes in China's economic, political or social conditions or government policies could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.

        All of our assets and operations are located in China. Accordingly, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be influenced to a significant degree by political, economic and social conditions in China generally. The Chinese economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including the level of government involvement, level of development, growth rate, control of foreign exchange and allocation of resources. Although the Chinese government has implemented measures

36


Table of Contents

emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reform, the reduction of state ownership of productive assets, and the establishment of improved corporate governance in business enterprises, a substantial portion of productive assets in China is still owned by the government. In addition, the Chinese government continues to play a significant role in regulating industry development by imposing industrial policies. The Chinese government also exercises significant control over China's economic growth through allocating resources, controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy, and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies.

        Any adverse changes in economic conditions in China, in the policies of the Chinese government or in the laws and regulations in China could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China. Such developments could adversely affect our business and operating results, lead to reduction in demand for our services and adversely affect our competitive position. The Chinese government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures may benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may have a negative effect on us. For example, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations. In addition, in the past the Chinese government has implemented certain measures, including interest rate adjustment, to control the pace of economic growth. These measures may cause decreased economic activity in China, which may adversely affect our business and operating results. In addition to adverse changes in economic policies and conditions, the Chinese government may implement policies and regulations to address prevalent social issues especially during critical times (such as important national anniversaries, major holidays and other dates of cultural importance). Such policy changes and campaigns may adversely affect our business operations and financial performance.

Our revenues may be materially and adversely affected by any economic slowdown in China as well as globally.

        The success of our business ultimately depends on consumer spending. We derive all of our revenues from China. As a result, our revenues and net income are impacted to a significant extent by economic conditions in China and globally. The global economy, markets and levels of consumer spending are influenced by many factors beyond our control, including consumer perception of current and future economic conditions, political uncertainty, levels of employment, inflation or deflation, real disposable income, interest rates, taxation and currency exchange rates.

        The PRC government has in recent years implemented a number of measures to control the rate of economic growth, including by raising interest rates and adjusting deposit reserve ratios for commercial banks as well as by implementing other measures designed to tighten credit and liquidity. These measures have contributed to a slowdown of the PRC economy. According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, in the second quarter of 2018, China's GDP growth rate was 6.7%. Any continuing or worsening slowdown could significantly reduce domestic commerce in China. An economic downturn, whether actual or perceived, a further decrease in economic growth rates or an otherwise uncertain economic outlook in China or any other market in which we may operate could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        Recently, the United States imposed significant tariffs on certain Chinese-made products. The PRC has in turn imposed tariffs against certain U.S. products in response to U.S. tariffs. Continued trade tensions between the U.S. and China may ultimately have an adverse effect on the global or Chinese economy, which in turn may affect our business.

Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.

        The PRC legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes. Unlike the common law system, prior court decisions under the civil law system may be cited for reference but have limited precedential value. Since these laws and regulations are relatively new and the PRC legal system continues to rapidly evolve, the interpretations of many laws, regulations and rules are not always uniform and the enforcement of these laws, regulations and rules involves uncertainties.

        In 1979, the PRC government began to promulgate a comprehensive system of laws and regulations governing economic matters in general. The overall effect of legislation over the past three decades has significantly enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investments in China. However, China has not developed a fully integrated legal system, and recently enacted laws and regulations may not sufficiently cover all aspects of economic activities in China. In particular, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties. Since PRC administrative and court authorities have significant discretion in interpreting and implementing statutory provisions and contractual terms, it may be difficult to evaluate the outcome of administrative and court proceedings and the level of legal protection we enjoy. These uncertainties may affect our judgment on the relevance of legal requirements and our ability to enforce our contractual rights or tort claims. In addition, the regulatory uncertainties may be exploited through unmerited or frivolous legal actions or threats in attempts to extract payments or benefits from us.

You may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing actions in China against us or our management named in this annual report based on foreign laws.

        We are an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, and we conduct all of our operations in China and all of our assets are located in China. In addition, most of our senior executive officers reside within China for a significant portion of the time, and most are PRC nationals. As a result, it may be difficult for you to effect service of process upon us or those persons inside mainland China. It may also be difficult for you to enforce in U.S. courts judgments obtained in U.S. courts based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against us and our officers and directors who reside and whose assets are located outside the United States. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands or the PRC would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts against us or such persons predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state.

        The recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments are provided for under the PRC Civil Procedures Law. PRC courts may recognize and enforce foreign judgments in accordance with the requirements of the PRC Civil Procedures Law based either on treaties between China and the country where the judgment is made or on principles of reciprocity between jurisdictions. China does not have any treaties or other forms of reciprocity with the United States that provide for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. In addition, according to the PRC Civil Procedures Law, PRC courts will not enforce a foreign judgment against us or our directors and officers if they decide that the judgment violates the basic principles of PRC laws or national sovereignty, security or public interest. As a result, it is uncertain whether and on what basis a PRC court would enforce a judgment rendered by a court in the United States.

We may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our PRC subsidiary to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have, and any limitation on the ability of our PRC subsidiary to make payments to us and any tax we are required to pay could have a material and adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business.

        We are a Cayman Islands holding company, and we may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity from our PRC subsidiary, which in turn depend on the service fees paid to our PRC subsidiary, for our cash requirements, including the funds necessary to pay dividends and other cash distributions to our shareholders and for services of any debt we may incur. We currently, and expect that we will, in the near future, derive substantially all of our revenues from our VIE, subject to future business plans. However, this does not mean that we are able to have unfettered access to our PRC subsidiary's and VIE's revenues due to PRC legal restrictions on the payment of dividends by PRC companies, foreign exchange control restrictions, and restrictions on foreign investment, among others. Our subsidiaries' ability to distribute dividends is based upon their distributable earnings. Current PRC regulations permit our PRC subsidiary to pay dividends to its shareholders only out of its accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, both of our PRC subsidiary and our VIE are required to set aside at least 10% of their after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund a statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 50% of its registered capital. Each of such entities in China is also required to further set aside a portion of its after-tax profits to fund the employee welfare fund, although the amount to be set aside, if any, is determined at the discretion of its board of directors. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. If our PRC subsidiary incurs debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments to us. Any limitation on the ability of our PRC subsidiary to distribute dividends or other payments to their respective shareholders could materially and adversely limit our ability to grow, make investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our businesses, pay dividends or otherwise fund and conduct our business.

        In response to the persistent capital outflow and RMB's depreciation against U.S. dollar in the fourth quarter of 2016, the People's Bank of China and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, have implemented a series of capital control measures, including stricter vetting procedures for China-based companies to remit foreign currency for overseas acquisitions, dividend payments and shareholder loan repayments. For instance, the People's Bank of China issued the Circular on Further Clarification of Relevant Matters Relating to Offshore RMB Loans Provided by Domestic Enterprises, or the PBOC Circular 306, on November 29, 2016, which provides that offshore RMB loans provided by a domestic enterprise to its offshore holding enterprises cannot exceed 30% of the domestic enterprise's ownership interest in the offshore enterprise. The PBOC Circular 306 may constrain our PRC subsidiary's ability to provide offshore loans to us. The PRC government may continue to strengthen its capital controls and our PRC subsidiary's dividends and other distributions may be subjected to tighter scrutiny in the future. Any limitation on the ability of our PRC subsidiary to pay dividends or make other distributions to us could materially and adversely limit our ability to grow, make investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business, pay dividends, or otherwise fund and conduct our business. See also "—If we are classified as a PRC resident enterprise for PRC income tax purposes, such classification could result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC shareholders or ADS holders."

        Under the Enterprise Income Tax Law of the PRC and related regulations, dividends, interests, rent or royalties payable by a foreign-invested enterprise, such as our PRC subsidiary, to any of its foreign non-resident enterprise investors, and proceeds from any such foreign enterprise investor's disposition of assets (after deducting the net value of such assets)

are subject to a 10% withholding tax, unless the foreign enterprise investor's jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treaty with China that provides for a reduced rate of withholding tax. Undistributed profits earned by foreign-invested enterprises prior to January 1, 2008 are exempted from any withholding tax. Hong Kong has a tax arrangement with China that provides for a 5% withholding tax on dividends subject to certain conditions and requirements, such as the requirement that the Hong Kong resident enterprise own at least 25% of the PRC enterprise distributing the dividend at all times within the 12-month period immediately preceding the distribution of dividends and be a "beneficial owner" of the dividends. For example, YX Services Limited, which directly owns our PRC subsidiary is incorporated in Hong Kong. However, if YX Services Limited is not considered to be the beneficial owner of dividends paid to it by our PRC subsidiary under the tax circulars promulgated in April, 2018, such dividends would be subject to withholding tax at a rate of 10%. If our PRC subsidiary declares and distributes profits to us, such payments will be subject to withholding tax, which will increase our tax liability and reduce the amount of cash available to our company.

PRC regulation of loans to and direct investment in PRC entities by offshore holding companies and governmental control of currency conversion may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of this offering to make loans to or make additional capital contributions to our PRC subsidiary and VIE, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business.

        Any funds we transfer to our PRC subsidiary, either as a shareholder loan or as an increase in registered capital, are subject to approval by or registration or filing with relevant governmental authorities in China. According to the relevant PRC regulations on FIEs, in China, capital contributions to our PRC subsidiary are subject to filing with the Ministry of Commerce, or ("the MOFCOM") in its foreign investment comprehensive management information system and registration with other governmental authorities in China. In addition, (a) any foreign loan procured by our PRC subsidiary and VIE is required to be registered with the SAFE or its local branches or filed with SAFE in its information system, and (b) each of our PRC subsidiary and VIE may not procure loans which exceed the difference between its registered capital and its total investment amount as recorded in the foreign investment comprehensive management information system or, as an alternative, only procure loans subject to the Risk-Weighted Approach and the Net Asset Limits. See "Regulation—Regulations on Foreign Exchange." Any medium or long term loan to be provided by us to our VIE must also be approved by the National Department and Reform Commission, or ("NDRC"). We may not obtain these government approvals or complete such registrations or filings on a timely basis, if at all, with respect to future capital contributions or foreign loans by us to our PRC subsidiary and VIE. If we fail to receive such approvals or complete such registration or filing, our ability to use the proceeds of this offering and to capitalize our PRC operations may be negatively affected, which could adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business. There is, in effect, no statutory limit on the amount of capital contribution that we can make to our PRC subsidiary. This is because there is no statutory limit on the amount of registered capital for our PRC subsidiary, and we are allowed to make capital contributions to our PRC subsidiary by subscribing for their initial registered capital and increased registered capital, provided that the PRC subsidiary completes the relevant filing and registration procedures. With respect to loans to the PRC subsidiary by us, (i) if the relevant PRC subsidiary adopt the traditional foreign exchange administration mechanism, or the Current Foreign Debt mechanism, the outstanding amount of the loans cannot exceed the difference between the total investment and the registered capital of the PRC subsidiary and there is, in effect, no statutory limit on the amount of loans that we can

40


Table of Contents

make to our PRC subsidiary under this circumstance because we can increase the registered capital of our PRC subsidiary by making capital contributions to them, subject to the completion of the required registrations, and the difference between the total investment and the registered capital will increase accordingly; and (ii) if the relevant PRC subsidiary adopt the foreign exchange administration mechanism as provided in the PBOC Notice No. 9, or the Notice No. 9 Foreign Debt mechanism, the risk-weighted outstanding amount of the loans, which is calculated based on the formula provided in the PBOC Notice No. 9, cannot exceed 200% of the net asset of the relevant PRC subsidiary. According to the PBOC Notice No. 9, after a transition period of one year since the promulgation of the PBOC Notice No. 9, the PBOC and SAFE will determine the cross-border financing administration mechanism for the foreign-invested enterprises after evaluating the overall implementation of the PBOC Notice No. 9. As of the date hereof, neither PBOC nor SAFE has promulgated and made public any further rules, regulations, notices or circulars in this regard. It is uncertain which mechanism will be adopted by PBOC and SAFE in the future and what statutory limits will be imposed on us when providing loans to our PRC subsidiary. Currently, our PRC subsidiary has the flexibility to choose between the Current Foreign Debt mechanism and the Notice No. 9 Foreign Debt mechanism before it submits information on the conclusion of the cross-border financing contract for record-filing for the first time. However, if the Notice No. 9 Foreign Debt Mechanism, or a more stringent foreign debt mechanism becomes mandatory and our PRC subsidiary is no longer able to choose the Current Foreign Debt mechanism, our ability to provide loans to our PRC subsidiary or our VIE may be significantly limited, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        In 2008, the SAFE promulgated the Circular on the Relevant Operating Issues Concerning the Improvement of the Administration of the Payment and Settlement of Foreign Currency Capital of Foreign-Invested Enterprises, or SAFE Circular 142. SAFE Circular 142 regulates the conversion by FIEs of foreign currency into Renminbi by restricting the usage of converted Renminbi. SAFE Circular 142 provides that any Renminbi capital converted from registered capitals in foreign currency of FIEs may only be used for purposes within the business scopes approved by PRC governmental authority and such Renminbi capital may not be used for equity investments within China unless otherwise permitted by the PRC law. In addition, the SAFE strengthened its oversight of the flow and use of the Renminbi capital converted from registered capital in foreign currency of FIEs. The use of such Renminbi capital may not be changed without SAFE approval, and such Renminbi capital may not in any case be used to repay Renminbi loans if the proceeds of such loans have not been utilized. On April 8, 2015, the SAFE promulgated the Circular on Reforming the Management Approach Regarding the Foreign Exchange Capital Settlement of Foreign-Invested Enterprises, or SAFE Circular 19. SAFE Circular 19 took effect as of June 1, 2015 and superseded SAFE Circular 142 on the same date. SAFE further promulgated Circular 16, effective on June 9, 2016, which, among other things, amended certain provisions of Circular 19. SAFE Circulars 19 and 16 launched a nationwide reform of the administration of the settlement of the foreign exchange capitals of FIEs and allows FIEs to settle their foreign exchange capital at their discretion, but continues to prohibit FIEs from using the Renminbi fund converted from their foreign exchange capitals for expenditure beyond their business scopes, and also prohibit FIEs from using such Renminbi fund to provide loans to persons other than affiliates unless otherwise permitted under its business scope. As a result, we are required to apply Renminbi funds converted from the net proceeds we received from this offering within the business scopes of our PRC subsidiary. SAFE Circular 19 and 16 may significantly limit our ability to transfer to and use in China the net proceeds from this offering, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Fluctuations in exchange rates could have a material and adverse effect on our results of operations and the value of your investment.

        The value of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economic conditions in China and by China's foreign exchange policies. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its decade-old policy of pegging the value of the Renminbi to the U.S. dollar, and the Renminbi appreciated more than 20% against the U.S. dollar over the following three years. Between July 2008 and June 2010, this appreciation halted and the exchange rate between the Renminbi and the U.S. dollar remained within a narrow band. Since June 2010, the Renminbi has fluctuated against the U.S. dollar, at times significantly and unpredictably. On November 30, 2015, the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund, or IMF, completed the regular five-year review of the basket of currencies that make up the Special Drawing Right, or the SDR, and decided that with effect from October 1, 2016, Renminbi is determined to be a freely usable currency and will be included in the SDR basket as a fifth currency, along with the U.S. dollar, the Euro, the Japanese yen and the British pound. In the fourth quarter of 2016, the RMB has depreciated significantly in the backdrop of a surging U.S. dollar and persistent capital outflows of China. With the development of the foreign exchange market and progress towards interest rate liberalization and Renminbi internationalization, the PRC government may in the future announce further changes to the exchange rate system and we cannot assure you that the Renminbi will not appreciate or depreciate significantly in value against the U.S. dollar in the future. It is difficult to predict how market forces or PRC or U.S. government policy may impact the exchange rate between the Renminbi and the U.S. dollar in the future. As of August 23, 2019, the RMB was valued at RMB7.0928 against the U.S. dollar.

        Significant revaluation of the Renminbi may have a material and adverse effect on your investment. For example, to the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars we receive from this offering into Renminbi for our operations, appreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar would have an adverse effect on the Renminbi amount we would receive from the conversion. Conversely, if we decide to convert our Renminbi into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our ordinary shares or ADSs or for other business purposes, appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Renminbi would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to us.

        Very limited hedging options are available in China to reduce our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations. To date, we have not entered into any material hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk. While we may decide to enter into hedging transactions in the future, the availability and effectiveness of these hedges may be limited and we may not be able to adequately hedge our exposure or at all. In addition, our currency exchange losses may be magnified by PRC exchange control regulations that restrict our ability to convert Renminbi into foreign currency.

Our use of some leased properties could be challenged by third parties or governmental authorities, which may cause interruptions to our business operations.

        As of the date of this prospectus, some of the lessors of our properties leased by us in China have not provided us with their property ownership certificates or any other documentation proving their right to lease those properties to us. If our lessors are not the owners of the properties and they have not obtained consents from the owners or their lessors or permits from the relevant governmental authorities, our leases could be invalidated. If this occurs, we may have to renegotiate the leases with the owners or other parties who have the right to lease the properties, and the terms of the new leases may be less favorable

42


Table of Contents

to us. Although we may seek damages from such lessors, such leases may be void and we may be forced to relocate. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to find suitable replacement sites on terms acceptable to us on a timely basis, or at all, or that we will not be subject to material liability resulting from third parties' challenges on our use of such properties. As a result, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

        In addition, a substantial portion of our leasehold interests in leased properties have not been registered with the relevant PRC governmental authorities as required by relevant PRC laws. The failure to register leasehold interests may expose us to potential warnings and penalties up to RMB10,000 per unregistered leased property.

The enforcement of the PRC Labor Contract Law and other labor-related regulations in the PRC may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

        Under the PRC Social Insurance Law and the Administrative Measures on Housing Fund, employees are required to participate in pension insurance, work-related injury insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance, maternity insurance, and housing funds and employers are required, together with their employees or separately, to pay the social insurance premiums and housing funds for their employees. If we fail to make adequate social insurance and housing fund contributions, we may be subject to fines and legal sanctions, and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

        These laws designed to enhance labor protection tend to increase our labor costs. In addition, as the interpretation and implementation of these regulations are still evolving, our employment practices may not be at all times be deemed in compliance with the regulations. As a result, we could be subject to penalties or incur significant liabilities in connection with labor disputes or investigations.

Our failure to make sufficient statutory social welfare payments for our employees could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

        PRC laws and regulations require us to pay several statutory social welfare benefits for our employees, including medical care insurance, occupational injury insurance, unemployment insurance, maternity insurance, pension benefits and housing fund contributions. While we believe we have made adequate provision in our audited consolidated financial statements for any outstanding amounts that are not paid or withheld, our failure to make payments may be in violation of the applicable PRC laws and regulations and we may be subject to fines and penalties. According to the applicable PRC laws and regulations, employers failing to make any of these social welfare benefit payments may be ordered by the government to rectify the noncompliance and make the required payments. Failure to make social insurance premium payments may also subject employers to a late fee of up to 0.2% or 0.05%, as the case may be, of the amount overdue per day from the original due date, by a stipulated deadline after they receive written notice from the authorities. If the payment is not made by the stipulated deadline after the employer receives written notice from the authorities in the case of any of the insurance and pension benefit premium described above, the employer may be assessed by the relevant government authority for fines of up to three times the amount of any under-reported obligation of the employer. An application may be made to the relevant government authority for deduction of the overdue amount from the employer's bank account or to a local court for compulsory enforcement of any of these payment obligations and an employee is entitled to compensation if the

43

employer fails to make payments due for social welfare benefits. Late charges, penalties or legal or administrative proceedings to which we may be subject could materially and adversely affect our reputation, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

The M&A Rules and certain other PRC regulations establish complex procedures for some acquisitions of Chinese companies by foreign investors, which could make it more difficult for us to pursue growth through acquisitions in China.

        The Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Companies by Foreign Investors, or the M&A Rules, adopted by six PRC regulatory agencies in 2006 and amended in 2009, and certain other regulations and rules concerning mergers and acquisitions established additional procedures and requirements that could make merger and acquisition activities by foreign investors more time consuming and complex, including requirements in some instances that the MOFCOM be notified in advance of any change-of-control transaction in which a foreign investor takes control of a PRC domestic enterprise. Moreover, the Anti-Monopoly Law requires that the MOFCOM should be notified in advance of any concentration of undertaking if certain thresholds are triggered. In addition, the security review rules issued by the MOFCOM that became effective in September 2011 specify that mergers and acquisitions by foreign investors that raise "national defense and security" concerns and mergers and acquisitions through which foreign investors may acquire de facto control over domestic enterprises that raise "national security" concerns are subject to strict review by the MOFCOM, and the rules prohibit any activities attempting to bypass a security review, including by structuring the transaction through a proxy or contractual control arrangement. In the future, we may grow our business by acquiring complementary businesses. Complying with the requirements of the above-mentioned regulations and other relevant rules to complete such transactions could be time consuming, and any required approval processes, including obtaining approval from the MOFCOM or its local counterparts may delay or inhibit our ability to complete such transactions, which could affect our ability to expand our business or maintain our market share.

PRC regulations relating to the establishment of offshore special purpose companies by PRC residents may subject our PRC resident beneficial owners or our PRC subsidiary to liability or penalties, limit our ability to inject capital into our PRC subsidiary, limit our PRC subsidiary's ability to increase their registered capital or distribute profits to us, or may otherwise adversely affect us.

        The SAFE promulgated the Circular on Relevant Issues Relating to Domestic Resident's Investment and Financing and Round-trip Investment through Special Purpose Vehicles, or SAFE Circular 37, in July 2014 that requires PRC residents or entities to register with SAFE or its local branch in connection with their establishment or control of an offshore entity established for the purpose of overseas investment or financing with such PRC residents or entities' legally owned assets or equity interests in domestic enterprises or offshore assets or interests. In addition, such PRC residents or entities must update their SAFE registrations when the offshore special purpose vehicle undergoes material events relating to any change of basic information (including change of such PRC citizens or residents, name and operation term), increases or decreases in investment amount, transfers or exchanges of shares, or mergers or divisions. In February 2015, the SAFE promulgated the Notice on Further Simplifying and Improving Foreign Exchange Administration Policy on Direct Investment, or SAFE Notice 13. Under SAFE Notice 13, applications for foreign exchange registration of inbound foreign direct investments and outbound direct investments, including those required under SAFE Circular 37, must be filed with qualified banks instead of the SAFE. Qualified banks should examine the applications and accept registrations under the supervision of the SAFE.

        If our shareholders who are PRC residents or entities do not complete their registration procedures set forth in the foregoing regulations, our PRC subsidiary may be prohibited from distributing their profits and proceeds from any reduction in capital, share transfer or liquidation to us, and we may be restricted in our ability to contribute additional capital to our PRC subsidiary. Moreover, failure to comply with the SAFE registration described above could result in liability under PRC laws for evasion of applicable foreign exchange restrictions.

        We have notified all PRC residents or entities who directly or indirectly hold shares in our Cayman Islands holding company and who are known to us as being PRC residents to complete the foreign exchange registrations. In November 2018, Mr. Tan, our chief executive officer and chairman of the board, and Ms. Zhou, our shareholder, both PRC residents, completed the foreign exchange registrations under the relevant PRC laws.

        However, we may not be informed of the identities of all the PRC residents or entities holding direct or indirect interest in our company, nor can we compel our beneficial owners to comply with SAFE registration requirements. As a result, we cannot assure you that all of our shareholders or beneficial owners who are PRC residents or entities have complied with, and will in the future make, obtain or update any applicable registrations or approvals required by, SAFE regulations. Failure by such shareholders or beneficial owners to comply with SAFE regulations, or failure by us to amend the foreign exchange registrations of our PRC subsidiary, could subject us to fines or legal sanctions, restrict our overseas or cross-border investment activities, limit our PRC subsidiary's ability to make distributions or pay dividends to us or affect our ownership structure, which could adversely affect our business and prospects.

Any failure to comply with PRC regulations regarding the registration requirements for employee stock incentive plans may subject the PRC plan participants or us to fines and other legal or administrative sanctions.

        Pursuant to SAFE Circular 37, PRC residents who participate in share incentive plans in overseas non-publicly-listed companies may submit applications to SAFE or its local branches for the foreign exchange registration with respect to offshore special purpose companies. In the meantime, our directors, executive officers and other employees who are PRC citizens or who are non-PRC residents residing in the PRC for a continuous period of not less than one year, subject to limited exceptions, and who will be granted share-based awards by us, may follow the Notices on Issues Concerning the Foreign Exchange Administration for Domestic Individuals Participating in Stock Incentive Plan of Overseas Publicly-Listed Company or the 2012 SAFE Notices, promulgated by the SAFE in 2012. Pursuant to the 2012 SAFE Notices, PRC citizens and non-PRC citizens who reside in China for a continuous period of not less than one year who participate in any stock incentive plan of an overseas publicly listed company, subject to a few exceptions, are required to register with SAFE through a domestic qualified agent, which could be the PRC subsidiary of such overseas listed company, and complete certain other procedures. In addition, an overseas entrusted institution must be retained to handle matters in connection with the exercise or sale of stock options and the purchase or sale of shares and interests. We, our directors, our executive officers and other employees who are PRC citizens or who reside in the PRC for a continuous period of not less than one year and who will be granted share-based awards will be subject to these regulations when our company becomes an overseas listed company upon the completion of this offering. Failure to complete the SAFE registrations may subject them to fines and legal sanctions and may also limit our ability to contribute additional capital into our PRC subsidiary and limit our PRC subsidiary's ability to distribute dividends to us. We also face regulatory uncertainties that could restrict our ability to adopt additional incentive plans for

45


Table of Contents

our directors, executive officers and employees under PRC law. See "Regulation—Regulations on Employee Share Options."

        The State Administration of Taxation, or SAT, has issued certain circulars concerning employee share options and restricted shares. Under these circulars, our employees working in China who exercise share options or are granted restricted shares will be subject to PRC individual income tax. Our PRC subsidiary has obligations to file documents related to employee share options or restricted shares with relevant tax authorities and to withhold individual income taxes of those employees who exercise their share options. If our employees fail to pay or we fail to withhold their income taxes according to relevant laws and regulations, we may face sanctions imposed by the tax authorities or other PRC governmental authorities. See "Regulation—Regulations on Employee Share Options."

If we are classified as a PRC resident enterprise for PRC income tax purposes, such classification could result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC shareholders or ADS holders.

        Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementation rules, an enterprise established outside of the PRC with its "de facto management body" within the PRC is considered a "resident enterprise" and will be subject to PRC enterprise income tax on its global income at the rate of 25%. The implementation rules define the term "de facto management body" as the body that exercises full and substantial control and overall management over the business, productions, personnel, accounts and properties of an enterprise. In 2009, the SAT issued a circular, known as SAT Circular 82, which provides certain specific criteria for determining whether the "de facto management body" of a PRC-controlled enterprise that is incorporated offshore is located in China. Although this circular only applies to offshore enterprises controlled by PRC enterprises or PRC enterprise groups, not those controlled by PRC individuals or foreigners, the criteria set forth in the circular may reflect the SAT's general position on how the "de facto management body" text should be applied in determining the tax resident status of all offshore enterprises. According to SAT Circular 82, an offshore incorporated enterprise controlled by a PRC enterprise or a PRC enterprise group will be regarded as a PRC tax resident by virtue of having its "de facto management body" in China and will be subject to PRC enterprise income tax on its global income only if all of the following conditions are met: (i) the primary location of the day-to-day operational management is in the PRC; (ii) decisions relating to the enterprise's financial and human resource matters are made or are subject to approval by organizations or personnel in the PRC; (iii) the enterprise's primary assets, accounting books and records, company seals, and board and shareholder resolutions, are located or maintained in the PRC; and (iv) at least 50% of voting board members or senior executives habitually reside in the PRC.

        We believe none of our entities outside of China is a PRC resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes. However, the tax resident status of an enterprise is subject to determination by the PRC tax authorities and uncertainties remain with respect to the interpretation of the term "de facto management body." If the PRC tax authorities determine that YX Asset Recovery Limited is a PRC resident enterprise for enterprise income tax purposes, we may be required to withhold a 10% withholding tax from dividends we pay to our shareholders that are non-resident enterprises, including the holders of our ADSs. In addition, non-resident enterprise shareholders (including our ADS holders) may be subject to PRC tax on gains realized on the sale or other disposition of ADSs or ordinary shares at a rate of 10%, if such income is treated as sourced from within the PRC. Furthermore, if PRC tax authorities determine that we are a PRC resident enterprise for enterprise income tax purposes, dividends

46


Table of Contents

paid to our non-PRC individual shareholders (including our ADS holders) and any gain realized on the transfer of ADSs or ordinary shares by such shareholders may be subject to PRC tax at a rate of 20% (which, in the case of dividends, may be withheld at source by us), if such gains are deemed to be from PRC sources. These rates may be reduced by an applicable tax treaty, but it is unclear whether non-PRC shareholders of YX Asset Recovery Limited would be able to claim the benefits of any tax treaties between their country of tax residence and the PRC in the event that YX Asset Recovery Limited is treated as a PRC resident enterprise. Any such tax may reduce the returns on your investment in the ADSs.

We face uncertainty with respect to indirect transfers of equity interests in PRC resident enterprises by their non-PRC holding companies.

        On December 10, 2009, the SAT issued the Notice on Strengthening Administration of Enterprise Income Tax for Share Transfers by Non-PRC Resident Enterprises, or SAT Circular 698, with retroactive effect from January 1, 2008, to December 1, 2017. Pursuant to SAT Circular 698, where a non-resident enterprise transfers the equity interests of a PRC resident enterprise indirectly by disposition of the equity interests of an overseas holding company, or an Indirect Transfer, and such overseas holding company is located in a tax jurisdiction that: (i) has an effective tax rate less than 12.5% or (ii) does not tax foreign income of its residents, the non-resident enterprise, being the transferor, should report to the relevant tax authority of the PRC resident enterprise this Indirect Transfer.

        On February 3, 2015, the SAT issued the Public Notice Regarding Certain Corporate Income Tax Matters on Indirect Transfer of Properties by Non-Tax Resident Enterprises, or SAT Public Notice 7. SAT Public Notice 7 extends its tax jurisdiction to not only Indirect Transfers set forth under SAT Circular 698 but also transactions involving transfer of other taxable assets through offshore transfer of a foreign intermediate holding company. In addition, SAT Public Notice 7 provides clearer criteria than SAT Circular 698 for assessment of reasonable commercial purposes and introduced safe harbors for internal group restructurings and the purchase and sale of equity through a public securities market. SAT Public Notice 7 also brings challenges to both foreign transferor and transferee (or other person who is obligated to pay for the transfer) of taxable assets. Where a non-resident enterprise transfers taxable assets indirectly by disposing of the equity interests of an overseas holding company, which is an Indirect Transfer, the non-resident enterprise as either transferor or transferee, or the PRC entity that directly owns the taxable assets, may report such Indirect Transfer to the relevant tax authority. Using a "substance over form" principle, the PRC tax authority may disregard the existence of the overseas holding company if it lacks a reasonable commercial purpose and was established for the purpose of reducing, avoiding or deferring PRC tax. As a result, gains derived from such Indirect Transfer may be subject to PRC enterprise income tax, and the transferee or other person who is obligated to pay for the transfer is obligated to withhold the applicable taxes, currently at a rate of 10% for the transfer of equity interests in a PRC resident enterprise. Both the transferor and the transferee may be subject to penalties under PRC tax laws if the transferee fails to withhold the taxes and the transferor fails to pay the taxes.

        On October 17, 2017, the SAT released Public Notice Regarding Issues Concerning the Withholding of Non-resident Enterprise Income Tax at Source, or SAT Public Notice 37, with effect from December 1, 2017. SAT Public Notice 37 replaced a series of important circulars, including but not limited to SAT Circular 698, and revised the rules governing the administration of withholding tax on China-source income derived by the non-resident enterprise. SAT Public Notice 37 provided certain key changes to the current withholding regime, such as (i) the withholding obligation for non-resident enterprise deriving dividend

47


Table of Contents

arises on the day the payment is actually made rather than on the day of the resolution to declare the dividends; (ii) the provision that non-resident enterprise should self-report tax within seven days if their withholding agents fail to withhold any or sufficient tax is removed.

        We face uncertainties as to the reporting and other implications of certain past and future transactions where PRC taxable assets are involved, such as offshore restructuring and sale of the shares in our offshore subsidiaries and investments. Our company may be subject to withholding obligations if our company is a transferee in such transactions under SAT Public Notice 37 and SAT Public Notice 7. For transfer of shares in our company by investors who are non-PRC resident enterprises, our PRC subsidiaries may be required to expend valuable resources to comply with SAT Public Notice 37 and SAT Public Notice 7 or to request the relevant transferors from whom we purchase taxable assets to comply with these circulars, or to establish that our company should not be taxed under these circulars. Our expending of such resources may affect our ability to deploy adequate resources to the operation of our business, which may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Several of our business premises are not in full compliance with the PRC fire safety regulations.

        According to the PRC fire safety laws and regulations, construction projects are generally required to complete fire safety filings or inspections. See "Regulation—Regulation on Fire Safety." As of the date of this prospectus, several of our business premises have not completed the required fire safety filings and may not be in full compliance with relevant laws and regulations. Based on our discussion with the relevant goverment authorities, we believe that the risk that we will be subjected to material administrative penalties imposed by local fire control authorities for our failure to comply with the fire safety laws and regulations is relatively low. However, we cannot assure you that we may be able to complete the fire safety filings, rectify our non-compliance or otherwise fully comply with the relevant fire safety laws and regulations at all of our current premises in a timely manner or at all, and we may be subject to fines and orders to rectify within a specified period of time or to suspend operations for our non-compliance. As a result, we may not be able to occupy certain of our current premises and may be ordered to relocate our operations to other locations that comply with the relevant fire safety laws and regulations, and we cannot assure you that such alternative locations will be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all, which could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial conditions.

The audit report included in this prospectus is prepared by an auditor who is not inspected by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and, as such, you are deprived of the benefits of such inspection.

        Our independent registered public accounting firm that issues the audit report included in our prospectus filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, as auditors of companies that are traded publicly in the United States and a firm registered with the U.S. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or the PCAOB, is required by the laws of the United States to undergo regular inspections by the PCAOB to assess its compliance with the laws of the United States and professional standards. Because our auditors are located in the PRC, a jurisdiction where the PCAOB is currently unable to conduct inspections without the approval of the Chinese authorities, our auditors are not currently inspected by the PCAOB.

        Inspections of other firms that the PCAOB has conducted outside China have identified deficiencies in those firms' audit procedures and quality control procedures, which may be addressed as part of the inspection process to improve future audit quality. This lack of

48


Table of Contents

PCAOB inspections in China prevents the PCAOB from regularly evaluating our auditor's audits and its quality control procedures. As a result, investors may be deprived of the benefits of PCAOB inspections.

        The inability of the PCAOB to conduct inspections of auditors in China makes it more difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of our auditor's audit procedures or quality control procedures as compared to auditors outside of China that are subject to PCAOB inspections. Investors may lose confidence in our reported financial information and procedures and the quality of our financial statements.

Proceedings instituted by the SEC against five PRC-based accounting firms, including our independent registered public accounting firm, could result in financial statements being determined to not be in compliance with the requirements of the Exchange Act.

        Starting in 2011 the Chinese affiliates of the "big four" accounting firms, including our independent registered public accounting firm, were affected by a conflict between U.S. and Chinese law. Specifically, for certain U.S.-listed companies operating and audited in mainland China, the SEC and the PCAOB sought to obtain from the Chinese firms access to their audit work papers and related documents. The firms were, however, advised and directed that under Chinese law, they could not respond directly to the U.S. regulators on those requests, and that requests by foreign regulators for access to such papers in China had to be channeled through the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or CSRC.

        In December 2012, the SEC instituted proceedings under Rule 102(e)(1)(iii) of its Rules of Practice and also under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 against five Chinese-based accounting firms, including our independent registered public accounting firm, alleging that these firms had violated U.S. securities laws and the SEC's rules and regulations thereunder by failing to provide to the SEC the firms' work papers related to their audits of certain China-based companies that are publicly traded in the U.S. Rule 102(e)(1)(iii) grants the SEC the authority to deny to any person, temporarily or permanently, the ability to practice before the SEC who is found by the SEC, after notice and opportunity for a hearing, to have willfully violated any such laws or rules and regulations. On January 22, 2014, an initial administrative law decision was issued, censuring these accounting firms and suspending four of the five firms from practicing before the SEC for a period of six months. Four of these China-based accounting firms appealed to the SEC against this decision and, on February 6, 2015, each of the four China-based accounting firms agreed to a censure and to pay a fine to the SEC to settle the dispute and avoid suspension of their ability to practice before the SEC. The firms' ability to continue to serve all their respective customers is not affected by the settlement. The settlement requires the firms to follow detailed procedures to seek to provide the SEC with access to Chinese firms' audit documents via the CSRC. If the firms do not follow these procedures, the SEC could impose penalties such as suspensions, or it could restart the administrative proceedings. The settlement did not require the firms to admit to any violation of law and preserves the firms' legal defenses in the event the administrative proceeding is restarted.

        In the event that the SEC restarts the administrative proceedings, depending upon the final outcome, listed companies in the United States with major PRC operations may find it difficult or impossible to retain auditors in respect of their operations in the PRC, which could result in financial statements being determined to not be in compliance with the requirements of the Exchange Act, including possible delisting. Moreover, any negative news about any such future proceedings against these audit firms may cause investor uncertainty regarding China-based, U.S.-listed companies and the market price of our ordinary shares may be adversely affected.

Table of Contents

        If our independent registered public accounting firm were denied, even temporarily, the ability to practice before the SEC and we were unable to timely find another registered public accounting firm to audit and issue an opinion on our financial statements, our financial statements could be determined not to be in compliance with the requirements of the Exchange Act. Such a determination could ultimately lead to the delisting of our ADSs from the New York Stock Exchange or deregistration from the SEC, or both, which would substantially reduce or effectively terminate the trading of our ADSs in the United States.

Our failure to comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or the FCPA, and other anticorruption laws could result in penalties which could harm our reputation and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

        After the completion of this offering, we will be subject to the FCPA, which prohibits companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or keeping business and/or other benefits, along with various other anticorruption laws. We are in the process of implementing policies and procedures designed to ensure that we, our employees and other intermediaries comply with the FCPA and other anti-corruption laws to which we are subject. Such policies or procedures may not work effectively or protect us against liability under the FCPA or other laws for actions taken by our employees and other intermediaries with respect to our business or any businesses that we may acquire. As we market and offer our services to increasing numbers of state-owned enterprises, we will have frequent contact with persons who may be considered "foreign officials" under the FCPA, resulting in an elevated risk of potential FCPA violations. Any investigation of a potential violation of the FCPA or other anticorruption laws by the United States or foreign authorities could have an adverse impact on our reputation, and if we are not in compliance with the FCPA and other laws governing the conduct of business with government entities, we may be subject to criminal and civil penalties and other remedial measures, which could have an adverse impact on our reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

        Our extensive and growing operations in the PRC may give rise to elevated compliance risks on anti-bribery. In recent years, commercial bribery has increasingly been identified as a key risk in doing business in the PRC. If PRC regulatory authorities determine that our marketing or other activity violates the anti-bribery or anti-corruption laws, we may be penalized or ordered to cease such activity, which could have an adverse impact on our business.


Risks Related to the ADSs and this Offering

An active trading market for our ordinary shares or the ADSs may not develop and the trading price for ADSs may fluctuate significantly.

        The ADSs have been approved for listing on the New York Stock Exchange. We have no current intention to seek a listing for our ordinary shares on any stock exchange. Prior to the completion of this offering, there has been no public market for the ADSs or our ordinary shares, and we cannot assure you that a liquid public market for our ADSs will develop. If an active public market for the ADSs does not develop following the completion of this offering, the market price and liquidity of the ADSs may be materially and adversely affected. The initial public offering price for the ADSs will be determined by negotiation between us and the underwriters based upon several factors, and we can provide no assurance that the trading price of the ADSs after this offering will not decline below the initial public offering price. As a

50


Table of Contents

result, investors in our securities may experience a significant decrease in the value of their ADSs.

The trading price of ADSs is likely to be volatile, which could result in substantial losses to investors.

        The trading price of the ADSs is likely to be volatile and could fluctuate widely due to multiple factors, some of which are beyond our control. This may happen because of broad market and industry factors, including the performance and fluctuation of the market prices of other companies with business operations located mainly in China that have listed their securities in the United States. In addition to market and industry factors, the price and trading volume for the ADSs may be highly volatile for factors specific to our own operations, including the following:

    regulatory developments affecting us or our industry;

    variations in our revenues, operating costs and expenses, earnings and cash flow;

    announcements of new investments, acquisitions, strategic partnerships or joint ventures by us or our competitors;

    announcements of new offerings, solutions and expansions by us or our competitors;

    changes in financial estimates by securities analysts;

    detrimental adverse publicity about us, our services, our employees, our content offerings, our business model or our industry;

    additions or departures of key personnel;

    release of lock-up or other transfer restrictions on our outstanding equity securities or sales of additional equity securities; and

    potential litigation or regulatory investigations.

        Any of these factors may result in large and sudden changes in the volume and price at which the ADSs will trade.

        In the past, shareholders of public companies have often brought securities class action suits against those companies following periods of instability in the market price of their securities. If we were involved in a class action suit, it could divert a significant amount of our management's attention and other resources from our business and operations and require us to incur significant expenses to defend the suit, which could harm our results of operations. Any such class action suit, whether or not successful, could harm our reputation and restrict our ability to raise capital in the future. In addition, if a claim is successfully made against us, we may be required to pay significant damages, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they adversely change their recommendations regarding the ADSs, the market price for the ADSs and trading volume could decline.

        The trading market for the ADSs will be influenced by research or reports that industry or securities analysts publish about our business. If one or more analysts who cover us downgrade the ADSs, the market price for our ADSs would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease to cover us or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose

51


Table of Contents

visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause the market price or trading volume for the ADSs to decline.

The sale or availability for sale of substantial amounts of ADSs could adversely affect their market price.

        Sales of substantial amounts of ADSs in the public market after the completion of this offering, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of the ADSs and could materially impair our ability to raise capital through equity offerings in the future. The ADSs sold in this offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, and shares held by our existing shareholders may also be sold in the public market in the future subject to the restrictions in Rule 144 and Rule 701 under the Securities Act and the applicable lock-up agreements. There will be             ADSs (equivalent to             Class A ordinary shares) outstanding immediately after this offering, or             ADSs (equivalent to             Class A to ordinary shares) if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional ADSs in full. In connection with this offering, we, our directors, executive officers and our existing shareholders as well as our option holders have agreed not to sell any ordinary shares, ADSs or similar securities for 180 days after the date of this prospectus without the prior written consent of the underwriters, subject to certain exceptions. However, the underwriters may release these securities from these restrictions at any time, subject to applicable regulations of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. We cannot predict what effect, if any, market sales of securities held by our significant shareholders or any other shareholder or the availability of these securities for future sale will have on the market price of the ADSs. See "Underwriting" and "Shares Eligible for Future Sale" for a more detailed description of the restrictions on selling our securities after this offering.

Our proposed dual-class voting structure will enable Mr. Tan to exercise decisive control over matters requiring a super-majority of shareholders' vote, limit your ability to influence corporate matters and could discourage others from pursuing any change of control transactions that holders of our Class A ordinary shares and the ADSs may view as beneficial.

        Our authorized and issued ordinary shares will be divided into Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares immediately prior to the completion of this offering (with a third class of undesignated shares authorized but not issued). Holders of Class A ordinary shares will be entitled to one vote per share, while holders of Class B ordinary shares will be entitled to 10 votes per share. We will issue Class A ordinary shares represented by ADSs in this offering. All of the outstanding ordinary shares, either directly or indirectly, held by YX Major Limited or its affiliates as of the date of this prospectus will be automatically converted into Class B ordinary shares immediately prior to the completion of this offering. All other ordinary shares or Series A preferred shares that are outstanding as of the date of this prospectus will be automatically re-designated or converted into Class A ordinary shares immediately prior to the completion of this offering. We intend to maintain the dual-class voting structure after the completion of this offering.

        Due to the disparate voting powers attached to these two classes of ordinary shares, Mr. Tan will beneficially own approximately         % of our total issued and outstanding ordinary shares on an as-converted basis and         % of the voting power of our outstanding shares immediately after this offering, assuming no exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase additional ADSs. Therefore, immediately following the completion of this offering and as long as YX Major Limited maintains Class B ordinary shares representing no less than          

52


Table of Contents

% of our outstanding shares, Mr. Tan will control the outcome of matters requiring a super-majority of shareholders' vote, including election of directors and significant corporate transactions, such as a merger or sale of our company or our assets. In addition, Mr. Tan will have the ability to unilaterally amend our organizational and corporate governance documents. This concentrated control will limit your ability to influence corporate matters and could discourage others from pursuing any potential merger, takeover or other change of control transactions that holders of Class A ordinary shares and ADSs may view as beneficial.

Because we do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future after this offering, you must rely on price appreciation of ADSs for return on your investment.

        We currently intend to retain most, if not all, of our available funds and any future earnings after this offering to fund the development and growth of our business. As a result, we do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, you should not rely on an investment in ADSs as a source for any future dividend income.

        Our board of directors has complete discretion as to whether to distribute dividends. Even if our board of directors decides to declare and pay dividends, the timing, amount and form of future dividends, if any, will depend on our future results of operations and cash flow, our capital requirements and surplus, the amount of distributions, if any, received by us from our subsidiaries, our financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors. Accordingly, the return on your investment in our ADSs will likely depend entirely upon any future price appreciation of ADSs. There is no guarantee that ADSs will appreciate in value after this offering or even maintain the price at which you purchased the ADSs. You may not realize a return on your investment in ADSs and you may even lose your entire investment in ADSs.

The approval of the CSRC may be required in connection with this offering under PRC law.

        The M&A Rules, which were adopted in 2006 by six PRC regulatory agencies, including the CSRC, purport to require offshore special purpose vehicles that are controlled by PRC companies or individuals and that have been formed for the purpose of seeking a public listing on an overseas stock exchange through acquisitions of PRC domestic companies or assets to obtain CSRC approval prior to publicly listing their securities on an overseas stock exchange. The interpretation and application of the regulations remain unclear, and this offering may ultimately require approval from the CSRC. If CSRC approval is required, it is uncertain whether it would be possible for us to obtain the approval and any failure to obtain or delay in obtaining CSRC approval for this offering would subject us to sanctions imposed by the CSRC and other PRC regulatory agencies.

        Our PRC counsel, Zhong Lun Law Firm, has advised us that, based on its understanding of the current PRC laws and regulations, we will not be required to submit an application to the CSRC for the approval of the listing and trading of our ADSs on New York Stock Exchange because (i) the CSRC currently has not issued any definitive rule or interpretation concerning whether offerings like ours under this prospectus are subject to this regulation, (ii) our wholly owned PRC subsidiary were established by foreign direct investment, rather than through a merger or acquisition of a domestic company as defined under the M&A Rules and (iii) no explicit provision in the M&A Rules classifies the respective contractual arrangements among our PRC subsidiary, the VIE and their shareholders as a type of acquisition transaction falling under the M&A Rules.

        However, we cannot assure you that relevant PRC government agencies, including the CSRC, would reach the same conclusion as our PRC counsel, and hence we may face

53


Table of Contents

regulatory actions or other sanctions from the CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies. These regulatory agencies may impose fines and penalties on our operations in China, limit our ability to pay dividends outside of China, limit our operating privileges in China, delay or restrict the repatriation of the proceeds from this offering into China or take other actions that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, as well as the trading price of the ADSs. The CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies also may take actions requiring us, or making it advisable for us, to halt this offering before settlement and delivery of the ADSs offered hereby. Consequently, if you engage in market trading or other activities in anticipation of and prior to settlement and delivery, you do so at the risk that settlement and delivery may not occur. In addition, if the CSRC or other regulatory agencies later promulgate new rules or explanations requiring that we obtain their approvals for this offering, we may be unable to obtain a waiver of such approval requirements, if and when procedures are established to obtain such a waiver. Any uncertainties and/or negative publicity regarding such approval requirement could have a material adverse effect on the trading price of the ADSs.

Our memorandum and articles of association contain anti-takeover provisions that could have a material adverse effect on the rights of holders of our ordinary shares and the ADSs.

        We will adopt the fourth amended and restated memorandum and articles of association that will become effective upon the completion of this offering. Our new memorandum and articles of association contain provisions to limit the ability of others to acquire control of our company or cause us to engage in change-of-control transactions. These provisions could have the effect of depriving our shareholders of an opportunity to sell their shares at a premium over prevailing market prices by discouraging third parties from seeking to obtain control of our company in a tender offer or similar transaction. Our board of directors has the authority, without further action by our shareholders, to issue preferred shares in one or more series and to fix their designations, powers, preferences, privileges, and relative participating, optional or special rights and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption and liquidation preferences, any or all of which may be greater than the rights associated with our ordinary shares, in the form of ADS or otherwise. Preferred shares could be issued quickly with terms calculated to delay or prevent a change in control of our company or make removal of management more difficult. If our board of directors decides to issue preferred shares, the price of our ADSs may fall and the voting and other rights of the holders of our ordinary shares and ADSs may be materially and adversely affected.

You may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through U.S. courts may be limited, because we are incorporated under Cayman Islands law.

        We are an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Our corporate affairs are governed by our memorandum and articles of association, the Cayman Islands Companies Law (as amended) and the common law. The Cayman Islands has not codified the common law duties of directors. The general authority of our directors to conduct the business of the company is set out in our memorandum and articles of association. In addition the Cayman Islands Courts have also generally adopted the English common law principles relating to directors' duties. Where loss has been suffered by the company, the general principle is that the directors' duties are owed to the company and not to its individual shareholders. As a matter of Cayman Islands' law, a shareholder may commence a derivative action in the name of the company against the director(s) in breach of duties. If that claim is defended, the shareholder would then need to make an application to the Cayman Islands Court for leave to continue the action. There are material differences between the

54


Table of Contents

rights available to shareholders under Cayman Islands laws as opposed to the laws of jurisdictions in the United States. By way of example, the Cayman Islands has a less developed body of securities laws than the United States. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States although a derivative action may be available to shareholders in the Cayman Islands Court.

        Under the laws of some jurisdictions in the United States, such as Delaware corporate law, majority and controlling shareholders generally have certain fiduciary responsibilities to the minority shareholders. Shareholder action must be taken in good faith, and actions by controlling shareholders which are obviously unreasonable may be declared null and void. Therefore, conduct that may give rise to an oppression claim in other jurisdictions may give rise to a breach of fiduciary duty claim in Delaware.

        On the contrary, a controlling shareholder does not owe any fiduciary duties to a company and its minority shareholders under Cayman Islands law. Shareholders of Cayman Islands exempted companies like us have no general rights under Cayman Islands law to inspect corporate records or to obtain copies of lists of shareholders of these companies, which are protections available for shareholders of a Delaware company. Our directors have discretion under our articles of association to determine whether or not, and under what conditions, our corporate records may be inspected by our shareholders, but are not obliged to make them available to our shareholders. This may make it more difficult for you to obtain the information needed to establish any facts necessary for a shareholder motion or to solicit proxies from other shareholders in connection with a proxy contest. As a result, your ability to protect your interest as a minority shareholder may be limited compared to that of a shareholder of a Delaware company.

        Certain corporate governance practices in the Cayman Islands, which is our home jurisdiction, differ from requirements for companies incorporated in other jurisdictions such as the United States. For a discussion of differences between the provisions of the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in the United States and their shareholders, see "Description of Share Capital—Differences in Corporate Law."

Certain judgments obtained against us by our shareholders may not be enforceable.

        We are a Cayman Islands company and all of our assets are located outside of the United States. All of our current operations are conducted in China. In addition, most of our current directors and officers are nationals and residents of countries other than the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for you to bring an action against us or against these individuals in the United States in the event that you believe that your rights have been infringed under the U.S. federal securities laws or otherwise. Even if you are successful in bringing an action of this kind, the laws of the Cayman Islands and of China may render you unable to enforce a judgment against our assets or the assets of our directors and officers. For more information regarding the relevant laws of the Cayman Islands and China, see "Enforceability of Civil Liabilities."

The voting rights of holders of ADSs are limited by the terms of the deposit agreement, and you may not be able to exercise your right to vote your Class A ordinary shares.

        As a holder of ADSs, you will only be able to exercise the voting rights with respect to the underlying Class A ordinary shares in accordance with the provisions of the deposit agreement. Under the deposit agreement, you must vote by giving voting instructions to the

55


Table of Contents

depositary. If we ask for your instructions, then upon receipt of your voting instructions, the depositary will try to vote the underlying Class A ordinary shares in accordance with these instructions. If we do not instruct the depositary to ask for your instructions, the depositary may still vote in accordance with instructions you give, but it is not required to do so. You will not be able to directly exercise your right to vote with respect to the underlying shares unless you withdraw the shares. When a general meeting is convened, you may not receive sufficient advance notice to withdraw the shares underlying your ADSs to allow you to vote with respect to any specific matter. If we ask for your instructions, the depositary will notify you of the upcoming vote and will arrange to deliver our voting materials to you. We have agreed to give the depositary at least 30 days' prior notice of shareholder meetings. Nevertheless, we cannot assure you that you will receive the voting materials in time to ensure that you can instruct the depositary to vote your shares. In addition, the depositary and its agents are not responsible for failing to carry out voting instructions or for their manner of carrying out your voting instructions. This means that you may not be able to exercise your right to vote and you may have no legal remedy if the shares underlying your ADSs are not voted as you requested.

You may experience dilution of your holdings due to inability to participate in rights offerings.

        We may, from time to time, distribute rights to our shareholders, including rights to acquire securities. Under the deposit agreement, the depositary will not distribute rights to holders of ADSs unless the distribution and sale of rights and the securities to which these rights relate are either exempt from registration under the Securities Act with respect to all holders of ADSs, or are registered under the provisions of the Securities Act. The depositary may, but is not required to, attempt to sell these undistributed rights to third parties, and may allow the rights to lapse. We may be unable to establish an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, and we are under no obligation to file a registration statement with respect to these rights or underlying securities or to endeavor to have a registration statement declared effective. Accordingly, holders of ADSs may be unable to participate in our rights offerings and may experience dilution of their holdings as a result.

You may be subject to limitations on transfer of your ADSs.

        Your ADSs are transferable on the books of the depositary. However, the depositary may close its books at any time or from time to time when it deems expedient in connection with the performance of its duties. The depositary may close its books from time to time for a number of reasons, including in connection with corporate events such as a rights offering, during which time the depositary should maintain an exact number of ADS holders on its books for a specified period. The depositary may also close its books in emergencies, and on weekends and public holidays. The depositary may refuse to deliver, transfer or register transfers of our ADSs generally when our share register or the books of the depositary are closed, or at any time if we or the depositary thinks it is advisable to do so because of any requirement of law or of any government or governmental body, or under any provision of the deposit agreement, or for any other reason.

We are a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the rules under the Exchange Act, and as such we are exempt from certain provisions applicable to United States domestic public companies.

        Because we are a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we are exempt from certain provisions of the securities rules and regulations in the United States that are

56


Table of Contents

applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, including: (i) the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or current reports on Form 8-K with the SEC; (ii) the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents, or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act; (iii) the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their stock ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time; and (iv) the selective disclosure rules by issuers of material nonpublic information under Regulation FD.

        We will be required to file an annual report on Form 20-F within four months of the end of each fiscal year. In addition, we intend to publish our results on a quarterly basis through press releases, distributed pursuant to the rules and regulations of New York Stock Exchange. Press releases relating to financial results and material events will also be furnished to the SEC on Form 6-K. However, the information we are required to file with or furnish to the SEC will be less extensive and less timely compared to that required to be filed with the SEC by U.S. domestic issuers. As a result, you may not be afforded the same protections or information, which would be made available to you, were you investing in a U.S. domestic issuer.

        In addition, as a foreign private issuer whose securities are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, we are permitted to follow certain home country corporate governance practices in lieu of the requirements of the New York Stock Exchange Rules pursuant to New York Stock Exchange Rule 303A.00, which provides for such exemption to compliance with the provisions of New York Stock Exchange Rule 303A. We intend to rely on the exemption available to foreign private issuers for the requirement that an audit committee be comprised of at least three members under New York Stock Exchange Rule 303A.07. We are not required to and will not voluntarily meet this requirement. As a result of our use of the "foreign private issuer" exemptions, our investors will not have the same protection afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of New York Stock Exchange's corporate governance requirements.

We are an emerging growth company within the meaning of the Securities Act and may take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements.

        We are an "emerging growth company," as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, most significantly, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 for so long as we are an emerging growth company. As a result, if we elect not to comply with such auditor attestation requirements, our investors may not have access to certain information they may deem important.

We are a controlled company within the meaning of the New York Stock Exchange Rules and, as a result, will rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements that provide protection to shareholders of other companies.

        We are a "controlled company" as defined under the New York Stock Exchange Rule because Mr. Tan beneficially owns more than 50% of our total voting power. For so long as we remain a controlled company under that definition, we are permitted to elect to rely, and will rely, on certain exemptions from corporate governance rules, including:

    an exemption from the rule that a majority of our board of directors must be independent directors;

57


Table of Contents

    an exemption from the rule that the compensation of our chief executive officer must be determined or recommended solely by independent directors; and

    an exemption from the rule that our director nominees must be selected or recommended solely by independent directors.

        As a result, you will not have the same protection afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to these corporate governance requirements.

If we fail to implement and maintain an effective system of internal controls over financial reporting, we may be unable to accurately report our results of operations, meet our reporting obligations or prevent fraud.

        Before this offering, we were a private company of limited resources. Our internal controls and procedures, especially over financial reporting, may not be able to sufficiently identify any material weaknesses and control deficiencies that could lead to inaccuracies in our financial statements. Our ability to comply with applicable financial reporting requirements and regulatory filings in a timely manner may be impaired. Our independent registered public accounting firm has not conducted an attestation of our internal control over financial reporting. However, in connection with the audits of our consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and 2018, we and our independent registered public accounting firm identified one material weakness as of December 31, 2018. As defined in the standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board of the United States, or PCAOB, a material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

        The material weakness identified relates to the lack of sufficient financial reporting and accounting personnel to formalize and implement key controls over financial reporting process and to prepare, review and report financial information in accordance with U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements. Neither we nor our independent registered public accounting firm undertook a comprehensive assessment of our internal control under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 for purposes of identifying and reporting any weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. We and they are required to do so only after we become a public company. Had we performed a formal assessment of our internal control over financial reporting or had our independent registered public accounting firm performed an audit of our internal control over financial reporting, additional control weaknesses may have been identified.

        Upon completion of this offering, we will become a public company in the United States subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Section 404 of this Act will require that we include a report of management on our internal control over financial reporting in our annual report on Form 20-F beginning with our annual report for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020. However, as an emerging growth company as defined in the JOBS Act, we may choose to not comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act as to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting until such time that we cease to be an emerging growth company, although we will still be required to implement and maintain internal control over financial reporting and include the management assessment in our annual reports under Section 404. To comply with Section 404, we may incur substantial costs, expend significant management time on compliance-related issues and hire additional accounting, financial and internal audit staff with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge. Moreover, if we are not able to comply with

the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner or if we or our independent registered public accounting firm identifies deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses, we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which would require additional financial and management resources. Any failure to maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results, and cause a decline in the price of our ADSs.

        During the course of documenting and testing our internal control procedures, in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404, we may identify other weaknesses and deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, if we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting, as these standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, we may not be able to conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404. If we fail to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment, we could suffer material misstatements in our financial statements and fail to meet our reporting obligations, which would likely cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information. This could in turn limit our access to capital markets, harm our results of operations, and lead to a decline in the trading price of our ADSs. Additionally, ineffective internal control over financial reporting could expose us to increased risk of fraud or misuse of corporate assets and subject us to potential delisting from the stock exchange on which we list, regulatory investigations and civil or criminal sanctions. We may also be required to restate our financial statements from prior periods.

We will incur additional costs as a result of being a public company.

        Upon completion of this offering, we will become a public company and expect to incur significant accounting, legal and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as rules subsequently implemented by the SEC and New York Stock Exchange, have detailed requirements concerning corporate governance practices of public companies, including Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act relating to internal controls over financial reporting. We expect these rules and regulations applicable to public companies to increase our accounting, legal and financial compliance costs and to make certain corporate activities more time-consuming and costly. Our management will be required to devote substantial time and attention to our public company reporting obligations and other compliance matters. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these rules and regulations, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs. Our reporting and other compliance obligations as a public company may place a significant strain on our management, operational and financial resources and systems for the foreseeable future.

We may be a passive foreign investment company, which could result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. investors owning ADSs or ordinary shares.

        A non-U.S. corporation, such as our company, will be considered a passive foreign investment company, or "PFIC," for any taxable year if either (i) at least 75% of its gross income is passive income or (ii) at least 50% of the value of its assets (based on an average of the quarterly values of the assets during a taxable year) is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income. The value of our assets may be determined by reference to the market price of the ADSs and ordinary shares, which may fluctuate considerably. In addition, because there are uncertainties in the application of the relevant rules and because PFIC status is a fact-intensive determination made on an annual basis, no

59


Table of Contents

assurance can be given with respect to our PFIC status for the current or any future taxable year.

        Based on our current and expected income and assets (taking into account the expected cash proceeds and our anticipated market capitalization following this offering), we do not presently expect to be a PFIC for the current taxable year or the foreseeable future. However, given the lack of authority and the highly factual nature of the analyses, no assurance can be given in this regard. Fluctuations in the market price of our ADSs may cause us to become a PFIC for the current or subsequent taxable years because the value of our assets for the purpose of the asset test may be determined by reference to the market price of our ADSs. The composition of our income and assets may also be affected by how, and how quickly, we use our liquid assets and the cash raised in this offering. In addition, because there are uncertainties in the application of the relevant rules, it is possible that the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, may challenge our classification of certain income and assets as non-passive or our valuation of our tangible and intangible assets, each of which may result in our becoming a PFIC for the current or subsequent taxable years. Furthermore, we may also be a PFIC if we were not treated as the owner of our VIE for U.S. tax purposes.

        If we were treated as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. investor held an ADS or an ordinary share, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences could apply to the U.S. Holder. See "Taxation—U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations."

ADSs holders may not be entitled to a jury trial with respect to claims arising under the deposit agreement, which could result in less favorable outcomes to the plaintiff(s) in any such action.

        The deposit agreement governing the ADSs representing our Class A ordinary shares provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, ADS holders waive the right to a jury trial of any claim they may have against us or the depositary arising out of or relating to our shares, the ADSs or the deposit agreement, including any claim under the U.S. federal securities laws.

        If we or the depositary opposed a jury trial demand based on the waiver, the court would determine whether the waiver was enforceable based on the facts and circumstances of that case in accordance with the applicable state and federal law. To our knowledge, the enforceability of a contractual pre-dispute jury trial waiver in connection with claims arising under the federal securities laws has not been finally adjudicated by the United States Supreme Court. However, we believe that a contractual pre-dispute jury trial waiver provision is generally enforceable, including under the laws of the State of New York, which govern the deposit agreement, by a federal or state court in the City of New York, which has non-exclusive jurisdiction over matters arising under the deposit agreement. In determining whether to enforce a contractual pre-dispute jury trial waiver provision, courts will generally consider whether a party knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily waived the right to a jury trial. We believe that this is the case with respect to the deposit agreement and the ADSs. It is advisable that you consult legal counsel regarding the jury waiver provision before entering into the deposit agreement.

        If you or any other holders or beneficial owners of ADSs bring a claim against us or the depositary in connection with matters arising under the deposit agreement or the ADSs, including claims under federal securities laws, you or such other holder or beneficial owner may not be entitled to a jury trial with respect to such claims, which may have the effect of limiting and discouraging lawsuits against us and/or the depositary. If a lawsuit is brought

60


Table of Contents

against us and/or the depositary under the deposit agreement, it may be heard only by a judge or justice of the applicable trial court, which would be conducted according to different civil procedures and may result in different outcomes than a trial by jury would have had, including results that could be less favorable to the plaintiff(s) in any such action.

        Nevertheless, if this jury trial waiver provision is not permitted by applicable law, an action could proceed under the terms of the deposit agreement with a jury trial. No condition, stipulation or provision of the deposit agreement or ADSs serves as a waiver by any holder or beneficial owner of ADSs or by us or the depositary of compliance with any substantive provision of the U.S. federal securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

LETTER FROM OUR CHAIRMAN

Bridging Borrowers and Lenders with Reclaimed Credibility

        Ever since our establishment, it has been our mission to institutionalize a transparent consumer credit recovery industry by helping borrowers regain their credit. We also complement established financial institutions in China in the recovery of credit risks. As the biggest consumer debt restructuring specialist in China, we focus on long-dated consumer delinquencies which are often charged off from our customers' balance sheets. While we represent seven of the 10 largest banks in China, and some of the most prominent online lenders by China's largest internet giants, we are no adversary to delinquent borrowers as we help them substantially. Our work assists these borrowers in reducing their debt loads, improving their credit profiles, and restoring their access to credit, and, as a result, regaining their lost confidence. We essentially act as debt restructuring advisors between credit originators and their borrowers to provide debt solutions, including debt reductions, installment plans, and deferred repayments. We have run an agency model and do not purchase the underlying assets.

        Consumer debt restructuring is a relatively new industry in China. Over the past five years, our biggest achievement has been infrastructure establishment. Through many trials and errors, we have built a proprietary IT analytics and a workflow system, and attracted, nurtured, and retained a team of expert negotiators who understand the delicate balance between debt collection while demonstrating knowledge and willingness to work with the debtors for a win-win outcome.

        Additionally, we have built, and continued to strengthen our relationships and trust with major lenders. Our track record in providing quality customer service and compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and our clients' internal policies is among the best in the industry. We have the largest market share and outstanding collection performance compared to our peers in the industry, especially in the long-dated segment.

        Our scalability lies in three factors. First, the accumulation of debt collection expertise. Second, the optimization of our proprietary IT analytics and workflows, and, finally, in the improvement in the infrastructure of our industry, such as data availability and quality. China's Central Bank's Credit Bureau will continue to grow in size and sophistication, while the newly established Baihang Credit Bureau (with the participation of e-commerce giants such as Alibaba and Tencent) will capture non-bank financial activities to further encourage a sound credit system. Meanwhile, with the anticipated gradual opening up of China's banking and credit card industry to foreign players, YX, being an industry leader and a US-listed company, will be poised to reap the benefits, and become the partner of choice for both domestic and foreign financial institutions.

        We aim to further increase our market share in the next five years. We believe that banks, under pressure to minimize loan losses in an efficient and compliant manner, must optimize their debt collection process by means of, among others, limiting the number of their mass debt collection agents. We expect YX to benefit from these trends.

        Last but not least, I have made a personal donation to set up the Credit Risk Management Institute of Xiangtan University, the first institution of its kind in the country. I also provide scholarships to Chinese students in a partnership program with Tulane University. We took the lead by working with our peers, clients, and industry experts to facilitate the establishment of an industry association. We hope to yield results through conducting academic research, learning lessons from the best global practices, and training more professional talent.

Through these efforts, we strive to contribute in our mission to institutionalize and professionalize the industry, as well as China's social construction of credibility.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

        This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical facts are forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

        You can identify these forward-looking statements by words or phrases such as "may," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "aim," "estimate," "intend," "plan," "believe," "likely to" or other similar expressions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:

    our goals and strategies;

    relevant government policies and regulations relating to our industry;

    our ability to retain and increase the amount of receivables for collection and our clients, and expand our service offerings;

    our future business development, financial condition and results of operations;

    expected changes in our revenues, costs or expenditures;

    our expectation regarding the use of proceeds from this offering;

    competition in our industry;

    general economic and business conditions globally and in China; and

    assumptions underlying or related to any of the foregoing.

        You should read thoroughly this prospectus and the documents that we refer to in this prospectus with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from and worse than what we expect. Other sections of this prospectus include additional factors which could adversely impact our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment. New risk factors and uncertainties emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors and uncertainties, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

        You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

        This prospectus contains certain data and information that we obtained from various government and private publications, including certain statistical data and estimates from an industry report commissioned by us and prepared by iResearch, an independent market research firm. This information involves a number of assumptions, estimates and limitations. These industry publications, surveys and forecasts generally indicate that their information has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, although they do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of such information. Nothing in such data should be construed as advice. We have not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of the data contained in these industry publications and reports. The delinquent consumer receivable

64


Table of Contents

recovery market in China may not grow at the rate projected by market data, or at all. Failure to grow at the projected rate may have a material and adverse effect on our business and the market price of our ADSs. In addition, the rapid evolution of technology, and constantly changing environment in China may result in significant uncertainties for any projections or estimates relating to the growth prospects or future condition of the delinquent consumer receivable recovery industry. Furthermore, if any one or more of the assumptions underlying the market data are later found to be incorrect, actual results may differ from the projections based on these assumptions. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

USE OF PROCEEDS

        We estimate that we will receive net proceeds from this offering of approximately US$              million, or approximately US$              million if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional ADSs in full, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and the estimated offering expenses payable by us of US$              million.

        The primary purposes of this offering are to expand our operations, attract, retain and motivate talented employees by providing them with equity incentives, and obtain additional capital. We intend to use the proceeds we receive from this offering as follows:

    approximately US$              million, or 60% of the net proceeds to expand our operations and the capacity of our operating centers;

    approximately US$              million, or 30% of the net proceeds to upgrade our technology and IT infrastructure; and

    the balance, approximately US$              million, or 10% of the net proceeds, for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

        The foregoing represents our current intentions based upon our present plans and business conditions to use and allocate the net proceeds of this offering. The amounts and timing of any expenditure will vary depending on the amount of cash generated by our operations, and the rate of growth, if any, of our business. Accordingly, our management will have significant flexibility in applying the net proceeds of the offering. If an unforeseen event occurs or business conditions change, we may use the proceeds differently than as described in this prospectus.

        In utilizing the proceeds of this offering, we are permitted under PRC laws and regulations to provide funding to our PRC subsidiary only through loans or capital contributions. Subject to satisfaction of applicable government registration and approval requirements, we may extend inter-company loans to our PRC subsidiary or make additional capital contributions to our PRC subsidiary to fund its capital expenditures or working capital. There is, in effect, no statutory limit on the amount of capital contribution that we can make to our PRC subsidiary. This is because there is no statutory limit on the amount of registered capital for our PRC subsidiary, and we are allowed to make capital contributions to our PRC subsidiary by subscribing for its initial registered capital and increased registered capital, provided that the PRC subsidiary completes the relevant filing and registration procedures.

        With respect to loans to the PRC subsidiary we may provide, PRC law provides two mechanisms that regulate the maximum amount of loans we may make to our PRC subsidiary. We believe the maximum amount of loans that we are currently allowed to make to our WFOE could be the higher amount calculated pursuant to such mechanisms. Under the traditional foreign exchange administration mechanism, the outstanding amount of the loans should not exceed the difference between the total investment and the registered capital of the PRC subsidiary, while under the foreign exchange administration mechanism as provided in the PBOC Notice No. 9, the risk-weighted outstanding amount of the loans should not exceed 200% of the net asset of the relevant PRC subsidiary. According to the PBOC Notice No. 9, after a transition period of one year since the promulgation of the PBOC Notice No. 9, the PBOC and SAFE will determine the cross-border financing administration mechanism for the foreign-invested enterprises after evaluating the overall implementation of the PBOC Notice No. 9. As of the date hereof, neither PBOC nor SAFE has promulgated and made public any further rules, regulations, notices or circulars in this regard. Currently, the maximum amount of loans we may make to our WFOE under the traditional foreign exchange administration mechanism is US$5 million, being the difference between the total investment

66


Table of Contents

and registered capital of our PRC subsidiary as of                   2019. However, such maximum amount and the difference may increase as the total investment and the registered capital of our PRC subsidiary increase, subject to the completion of relevant registrations. Under the foreign exchange administration mechanism, the maximum amount of loans we may make to our WFOE as of                    2019 is US$             , being 200% of the net asset of our WFOE. Comparing the results under these two mechanisms, we believe all of the net offering proceeds currently would be available for use in our PRC operations via loans to our PRC subsidiary. However, it is uncertain which mechanism will be adopted by PBOC and SAFE in the future and what statutory limits will be imposed on us when providing loans to our PRC subsidiaries. While we currently see no material obstacles to completing the filing and registration procedures with respect to future capital contributions and loans to our PRC subsidiary, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain these government registrations or approvals on a timely basis, if at all. See "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Doing Business in China—PRC regulation of loans to and direct investment in PRC entities by offshore holding companies and governmental control of currency conversion may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of this offering to make loans to or make additional capital contributions to our PRC subsidiary and VIE, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business." It is likely that we will need to convert some of our net proceeds in U.S. dollars into Renminbi in order to use as proceeds as contemplated in this section. For details of PRC regulations governing foreign currency conversion, see "Regulation—Regulations on Foreign Exchange."

        Pending use of the net proceeds, we intend to hold our net proceeds in demand deposits or invest them in interest-bearing government securities.

        We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of ADSs by the selling shareholders.

DIVIDEND POLICY

        Our board of directors has complete discretion on whether to distribute dividends. Even if our board of directors decides to pay dividends, the form, frequency and amount will depend upon our future operations and earnings, capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that the board of directors may deem relevant.

        We do not have any present plan to pay any cash dividends on our ordinary shares in the foreseeable future after this offering. We currently intend to retain most, if not all, of our available funds and any future earnings to operate and expand our business.

        We are a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. We may rely on dividends from our subsidiary in China for our cash requirements, including any payment of dividends to our shareholders. PRC regulations may restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiary to pay dividends to us. See "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in China—We may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our PRC subsidiary to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have, and any limitation on the ability of our PRC subsidiary to make payments to us and any tax we are required to pay could have a material and adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business."

        If we pay any dividends, we will pay our ADS holders to the same extent as holders of our Class A ordinary shares, subject to the terms of the deposit agreement, including the fees and expenses payable thereunder. See "Description of American Depositary Shares." Cash dividends on our ordinary shares, if any, will be paid in U.S. dollars.

DILUTION

        If you invest in our ADSs, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the initial public offering price per ADS and our net tangible book value per ADS after this offering. Dilution results from the fact that the initial public offering price per ordinary share is substantially in excess of the book value per ordinary share attributable to the existing shareholders for our presently outstanding ordinary shares.

        Our net tangible book value as of June 30, 2019 was US$57.2 million, or US$             per ordinary share and US$             per ADS. We did not have intangible assets as of                  , therefore, our net tangible book value represents the amount of our total assets, less the amount of our total liabilities. Dilution is determined by subtracting net tangible book value per ordinary share, after giving effect to the additional proceeds we will receive from this offering, from the initial public offering price of US$             per ordinary share, which is set forth on the cover page of this prospectus adjusted to reflect the ADS-to-ordinary share ratio, and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. Because the ordinary shares have the same dividend and other rights, except for voting and conversion rights, the dilution is presented based on all ordinary shares.

        Without taking into account any other changes in net tangible book value after                  , other than to give effect to (i) the automatic conversion of Series A preferred shares into 2,060,000 ordinary shares; (ii) the re-designation of ordinary shares held by holders other than YX Major Limited into 8,500,000 Class A ordinary shares; (iii) the re-designation of ordinary shares held by YX Major Limited into 1,500,000 Class B ordinary shares, in each case immediately prior to the completion of this offering, and (iv) our issuance and sale of                  ADSs, representing                  Class A ordinary shares, offered in this offering at the initial public offering price of US$             per ADS, after deduction of the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of                   would have been US$              million, or US$             per ordinary share and US$             per ADS. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of US$              per ordinary share and US$             per ADS to the existing shareholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of US$             per ordinary share and US$             per ADS to investors purchasing ADSs in this offering.

In addition, the holders of our Series B preferred shares and Series C preferred shares may at any time prior to the 180th day after the effective date of this registration statement convert all or part of their outstanding preferred shares into Class A ordinary shares, which may further dilute our net tangible value.

EXCHANGE RATE INFORMATION

        All of our operations are conducted in China and all of our revenues are denominated in RMB. This prospectus contains conversion of RMB amounts into U.S. dollars at specific rates solely for the convenience of the reader. Unless otherwise noted, all conversion from RMB to U.S. dollars and from U.S. dollars to RMB in this prospectus were made at a rate of RMB6.8650 to US$1.00, the noon buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers of RMB as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on June 28, 2019. We make no representation that any RMB or U.S. dollar amounts could have been, or could be, converted into U.S. dollars or RMB, as the case may be, at any particular rate, at the rates stated below, or at all. The PRC government imposes control over its foreign currency reserves in part through direct regulation of the conversion of RMB into foreign exchange and through restrictions on foreign trade. On                           , 2019, the noon buying rate was RMB             to US$1.00.

        The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, information concerning exchange rates between the Renminbi and the U.S. dollar based on the noon buying rate in New York City as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. These rates are provided solely for your convenience and are not necessarily the exchange rates that we used in this prospectus or will use in the preparation of our periodic reports or any other information to be provided to you.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

Cayman Islands

        We are incorporated in the Cayman Islands to take advantage of certain benefits associated with being a Cayman Islands exempted company, such as:

    political and economic stability;

    an effective judicial system;

    a favorable tax system;

    the absence of exchange control or currency restrictions; and

    the availability of professional and support services.

        However, certain disadvantages accompany incorporation in the Cayman Islands. These disadvantages include:

    the Cayman Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to the United States and provides significantly less protection to investors; and

    Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to sue before the federal courts of the United States.

        Our constituent documents do not contain provisions requiring that disputes, including those arising under the securities laws of the United States, between us, our officers, directors and shareholders, be arbitrated.

        All of our operations are conducted in China, and all of our assets are located in China. A majority of our directors and executive officers are nationals or residents of jurisdictions other than the United States and a substantial portion of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for a shareholder to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons, or to enforce against us or them judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States.

        We have appointed C T Corporation System, located at 111 Eighth Avenue, New York, NY 10011, as our agent upon whom process may be served in any action brought against us under the securities laws of the United States.

        We have been advised by Walkers (Hong Kong), our counsel as to Cayman Islands law, that the United States and the Cayman Islands do not have a treaty providing for reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments of U.S. courts in civil and commercial matters and that there is uncertainty as to whether a final judgment for the payment of money rendered by any federal or state court in the United States based on civil liability provisions, whether or not predicated solely upon the U.S. federal securities laws, would be enforceable in the Cayman Islands. This uncertainty relates to whether such a judgment would be determined by the courts of the Cayman Islands to be penal or punitive in nature. We have also been advised by Walkers (Hong Kong) that, notwithstanding the above, a final and conclusive judgment obtained in U.S. federal or state courts under which a definite sum of money is payable as compensatory damages and not in respect of laws that are penal in nature (i.e., not being a sum claimed by a revenue authority for taxes or other charges of a similar nature by a governmental authority, or in respect of a fine or penalty or multiple or punitive damages) will be recognized and enforced in the courts of the Cayman Islands at common law, without any

re-examination of the merits of the underlying dispute, by an action commenced on the foreign judgment debt in the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands, provided that:

    the court that gave the judgment was competent to hear the action in accordance with private international law principles as applied by the courts in the Cayman Islands and the parties subject to such judgment either submitted to such jurisdiction or were resident or carrying on business within such jurisdiction and were duly served with process;

    the judgment given by the foreign court was not in respect of penalties, taxes, fines or similar fiscal or revenue obligations;

    the judgment was final and conclusive and for a liquidated sum;

    the judgment was not obtained by fraud; and

    the judgment was not obtained in a manner and is not of a kind the enforcement of which is contrary to natural justice or public policy in the Cayman Islands.

        A Cayman Islands court may impose civil liability on us or our directors or officers in a suit brought in the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands against us or these persons with respect to a violation of U.S. federal securities laws, provided that the facts surrounding any violation constitute or give rise to a cause of action under Cayman Islands law.

PRC

        Zhong Lun Law Firm, our counsel as to PRC law, has advised us that there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of China would:

    recognize or enforce judgments of United States courts obtained against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States; or

    entertain original actions brought in each respective jurisdiction against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States.

        Zhong Lun Law Firm has further advised us that the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments are provided for under the PRC Civil Procedures Law and relevant civil procedure requirements in China. PRC courts may recognize and enforce foreign judgments in accordance with the requirements of the PRC Civil Procedures Law based either on treaties between China and the jurisdiction where the judgment is made or on principles of reciprocity between jurisdictions. China does not have any treaties or other form of reciprocity with the United States or the Cayman Islands that provide for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. In addition, according to the PRC Civil Procedures Law, courts in the PRC will not enforce a foreign judgment against us or our directors and officers if they decide that the judgment violates the basic principles of PRC law or national sovereignty, security or public interest. As a result, it is uncertain whether and on what basis a PRC court would enforce a judgment rendered by a court in the United States or in the Cayman Islands. Under the PRC Civil Procedures Law, foreign shareholders may originate actions based on PRC law against a company in the PRC for disputes if they can establish sufficient nexus to the PRC for a PRC court to have jurisdiction, and meet other procedural requirements, including, among others, the plaintiff must have a direct interest in the case, and there must be a concrete claim, a factual basis and a cause for the suit.

Table of Contents

        It will be, however, difficult for U.S. shareholders to originate actions against us in the PRC in accordance with PRC laws because we are incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and it will be difficult for U.S. shareholders, by virtue only of holding our ADSs or ordinary shares, to establish a connection to the PRC for a PRC court to have jurisdiction as required under the PRC Civil Procedures Law.

CORPORATE HISTORY AND STRUCTURE

Corporate History

        In April 2014, Ms. Zhou established Yong Xiong Investment with other shareholders. In July 2015, Mr. Tan purchased 94% and 3% equity interests of Yong Xiong Investment from Ms. Zhou and another shareholder, respectively. Upon the completion of such share purchase, Mr. Tan and Ms. Zhou held 97% and 3% equity interest in Yong Xiong Investment, respectively. Yong Xiong Investment was renamed the Yong Xiong Group in 2015.

        Beginning in August 2018, we began our restructuring in contemplation of this offering. Under the restructuring:

    Incorporation of the listing entity.    In August 2018, we incorporated YX Asset Recovery Limited under the laws of the Cayman Islands as our offshore holding company to facilitate financing and an offshore listing.

    Incorporation of British Virgin Islands holding company, Hong Kong holding company and WFOE.    In August 2018, YX Asset Recovery Limited established a wholly-owned subsidiary in the British Virgin Islands named YX International Holding Ltd. In September 2018, YX International Holding Ltd established a wholly-owned subsidiary in Hong Kong named YX Services Limited. In November 2018, YX Services Limited established Hunan WFOE in China, which we will de-register in                  2019. In January 2019, YX Services Limited established a wholly-owned subsidiary in China named Shanghai Yong Xiong Information Technology Services Co., Ltd, or Shanghai WFOE. For the avoidance of doubt, we refer to Hunan WFOE as our WFOE from November 8, 2018 to January 11, 2019, and we refer to Shanghai WFOE as our WFOE from January 12, 2019 onwards.

    Contractual arrangements.    Our operations involve value-added telecommunications services. Due to PRC restrictions or prohibitions on foreign ownership of value-added telecommunications businesses in China, we operate our business in China through the Yong Xiong Group, a PRC domestic entity, in which we have no direct ownership interest. In November 2018, we, Hunan WFOE and other parties entered into a series of contractual arrangements with the Yong Xiong Group, which we refer to as our VIE in this prospectus, and its respective shareholders. These contractual arrangements enable us to exercise effective control over our VIE, receive substantially all of the economic benefits of our VIE, and have the exclusive option to purchase all or part of the equity interests in and assets of our VIE to the extent permitted by PRC law. Due to operational reasons, we entered into a series of contractual arrangements with Shanghai WFOE, our VIE and other parties in January 2019, which superseded those entered into in November 2018. We have further amended and restated the contractual arrangements in March 2019 based on the change of the ownership structure of our VIE. These contractual arrangements contain the same terms and conditions as those entered into in November 2018, and continue to have the same effect on the relationship between our VIE and us. For more details, please see "—Contractual Arrangements with the VIE and Its Shareholders."

        As a result of our restructuring and the VIE contractual arrangements, we are the primary beneficiary of our VIE, and we treat the Yong Xiong Group and its subsidiaries as our consolidated variable interest entities under U.S. GAAP. We rely on dividends and other distributions paid to us by our WFOE, which in turn depends on the service fees that our VIE pays to our WFOE. The amount of dividends we will collect from our WFOE depends on our dividend policy. We do not expect to collect any dividend from our WFOE in the foreseeable

77


Table of Contents

future because we do not expect to pay any dividend to our shareholders. For more details, please see "Dividend Policy." Our WFOE will collect service fees from our VIE pursuant to the VIE contractual arrangements, according to which our VIE should pay service fees to our WFOE after our VIE reserves funds for reasonable profits and costs. Our WFOE has the right to make discretionary determination on the amount of service fees to be collected from our VIE. We currently, and expect that we will, in the near future, derive substantially all of our revenues from our VIE, subject to future business plans. However, we do not have unfettered access to our WFOE's and VIE's revenues due to PRC legal restrictions on the payment of dividends by PRC companies, foreign exchange control restrictions, and the restrictions on foreign investment, among others. For more details and risks related to our variable interest entity structure, please see "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure." We have consolidated the financial results of our VIE and its subsidiaries in our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

        In August 2018, Mr. Tan, Ms. Zhou, the Yong Xiong Group, and other related parties entered into a framework agreement with Zhong Ping Capital to set forth the commercial arrangements among the parties, pending execution of definitive agreements. The parties first entered into the framework agreement rather than immediately agreeing to a definitive agreement because, in order for Mr. Tan to receive the deposit payment from Zhong Ping Capital in a timely manner, the principal terms of the transaction had to be agreed to as soon as possible. These principal terms were memorialized in the framework agreement. In addition, we believe that the transaction with Zhong Ping Capital will enable us to utilize Zhong Ping Capital's expertise and experience in the professional investment industry to strengthen our corporate profile and corporate governance as well as to diversify our shareholder composition.

        In January 2019, we, Mr. Tan, Ms. Zhou, the Yong Xiong Group and other parties entered into an amended and restated shares sale and purchase agreement with Zhong Ping Capital and Zhong Ping Vehicle, pursuant to which Zhong Ping Vehicle agreed to acquire 2,000,000 ordinary shares of YX Asset Recovery Limited from Mr. Tan with cash consideration of RMB300,000,000, representing 20% equity interest of YX Asset Recovery Limited from Mr. Tan immediately prior to the completion of this offering. In November 2018, Zhong Ping Vehicle and Mr. Tan entered into an equity transfer agreement, pursuant to which Zhong Ping Vehicle agreed to purchase a nominal 0.0001% equity interest of the Yong Xiong Group from Mr. Tan immediately prior to the completion of this offering. The purchase of 2,000,000 ordinary shares of YX Asset Recovery Limited and the purchase of nominal 0.0001% equity interest of the Yong Xiong Group by Zhong Ping Vechicle are collectively referred to as the Zhong Ping Transactions. At the closing of the Zhong Ping Transactions, 2,000,000 ordinary shares of YX Asset Recovery Limited were re-designated as 2,000,000 Series A preferred shares to Zhong Ping Vehicle.

        In January 2019, we, YX Management Holding Ltd., an entity wholly-owned by Mr. Tan, the Yong Xiong Group and other parties entered into an amended and restated share sale and purchase agreement with Lugu, pursuant to which Lugu agreed to purchase, or designate its affiliate to acquire 60,000 ordinary shares of YX Asset Recovery Limited from YX Management Holding Ltd. with cash consideration of RMB9,000,000 representing 0.6% equity interest of YX Asset Recovery Limited from YX Management Holding Ltd immediately prior to the completion of this offering, or the Lugu Transaction. At the closing of the Lugu Transaction in March 2019, 60,000 ordinary shares of YX Asset Recovery Limited were re-designated as 60,000 Series A preferred shares to Lugu.

        In July 2019, we incorporated Zhuhai Yongxiong Information Technology Services Co., Ltd. for the purpose of back office management and operation.

        In August 2019, we and Mr. Tan entered into a Series B preferred shares purchase agreement with Rainflower Investments Limited, or Rainflower, which was subsequently amended and restated by the parties in October 2019. Pursuant to the Series B preferred share purchase agreement, we agreed to issue and Rainflower agreed to subscribe 100 redeemable convertible Series B preferred shares, or Series B preferred shares, of YX Asset Recovery Limited with cash consideration of USD15,000,000, which transaction we refer to as the Rainflower Transaction. Rainflower is a subsidiary of Avenue Capital Group. At the closing of the Rainflower Transaction, we issued 100 Series B preferred shares to Rainflower. Avenue is a seasoned strategic investor specialized in dealing in distressed debts. We believe our partnership with Avenue will create synergies through the leveraging of our expertise in collection of delinquent consumer receivables and Avenue's rich market experience in investment in distressed debt.

        In August 2019, we and Mr. Tan entered into a Series C preferred share purchase agreement with EP Next China Fund I, or EP Next China, which was subsequently amended and restated by the parties in October 2019. Pursuant to the Series C preferred share purchase agreement, we agreed to issue and EP Next China agreed to subscribe 50 redeemable convertible Series C preferred shares, or Series C preferred shares, of YX Asset Recovery Limited with cash consideration of USD5,000,000 which transaction we refer to as the EP Next China Transaction. EP Next China is affiliated with Earnest Partner LLC, or Earnest. At the closing of the EP Next China Transaction, we issued 50 Series C preferred shares to EP Next China.

Contractual Arrangements with the VIE and Its Shareholders

        Due to PRC legal restrictions on foreign ownership and investment in value-added telecommunications businesses, we currently conduct our business operations through our

80


Table of Contents

VIE, which we effectively control through a series of contractual arrangements. These contractual arrangements allow us to:

    exercise effective control over our VIE;

    receive substantially all of the economic benefits of our VIE; and

    have an exclusive option to purchase all or part of the equity interests in our VIE when and to the extent permitted by PRC law.

        As a result of these contractual arrangements, we are the primary beneficiary of our VIE. We have consolidated our VIE's financial results in our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

        The following is a summary of the effective contractual arrangements by and among our company, our WFOE, our VIE and each of the shareholders of our VIE.

Agreements that provide us with effective control over our VIE

        Shareholder Voting Proxy Agreement and Powers of Attorney.    Our WFOE, our VIE and each of the shareholders of our VIE entered into a Shareholder Voting Proxy Agreement, pursuant to which each of the shareholders of our VIE executed a power of attorney to irrevocably authorize our WFOE or any person designated by our WFOE to act as their attorney-in-fact to exercise all of their rights as a shareholder of our VIE, including, but not limited to, the right to convene and attend shareholders' meetings, vote on any resolution that requires a shareholder vote, such as the appointment and removal of directors, supervisors and officers, as well as the sale, transfer, pledge and disposal of all or part of the equity interests owned by such shareholder. The power of attorney will remain effective until the termination of the Shareholder Voting Proxy Agreement unless otherwise instructed by our WFOE.

        Equity Pledge Agreement.    Our WFOE, our VIE and each of the shareholders of our VIE entered into an Equity Pledge Agreement, pursuant to which the shareholders of our VIE agreed to pledge 100% equity interests of our VIE to our WFOE to guarantee the performance by the shareholders of their obligations under the contractual arrangements including the Exclusive Option Agreement, the Shareholder Voting Proxy Agreement and the Equity Pledge Agreement, as well as the performance by our VIE of its obligations under the Exclusive Option Agreement, the Shareholder Voting Proxy Agreement, the Exclusive Consultation and Service Agreement and the Equity Pledge Agreement. We completed the registration of all the equity pledges with relevant regulatory authorities in accordance with the PRC Property Rights Law. In the event of a breach by our VIE or any shareholder of contractual obligations under the Equity Pledge Agreement, our WFOE, as pledgee, has the right to dispose of the pledged equity interests in our VIE and has priority in receiving the proceeds from such disposal. The shareholders of our VIE also undertake that, without the prior written consent of our WFOE, they will not dispose of, create or allow any encumbrance on the pledged equity interests. Our VIE undertakes that, without the prior written consent of our WFOE, it will not assist or allow any encumbrance to be created on the pledged equity interests. Each shareholder also executed a power of attorney to irrevocably authorize Mr. Tan as their attorney-in-fact to sign any legal documents that are required or useful in exercising our WFOE's rights under the Equity Pledge Agreement.

Agreement that allow us to receive economic benefits from the VIE

        Exclusive Consultation and Service Agreement.    Our WFOE and our VIE entered into an Exclusive Consultation and Service Agreement, pursuant to which our WFOE has the exclusive

81


Table of Contents

right to provide our VIE with the consulting and technical services required by our VIE's business. Under the Exclusive Consultation and Service Agreement, our VIE agrees that it may not accept any services subject to this agreement from any third party without our WFOE's prior written consent. Our VIE agreed to pay our WFOE service fees after our VIE reserves for reasonable profits and costs. Our WFOE has the right to make discretionary determination on the amount of service fees to collect from our VIE. Our WFOE has the exclusive ownership of all the intellectual property rights created as a result of the performance of the Exclusive Consultation and Service Agreement, to the extent permitted by applicable PRC laws. To guarantee our VIE's performance of its obligations thereunder, the shareholders agreed to pledge their equity interests of our VIE to our WFOE pursuant to the Equity Pledge Agreement. The Exclusive Consultation and Service Agreement will remain effective for an indefinite term, unless otherwise terminated pursuant to mutual agreement in writing or applicable PRC laws.

Agreement that provides us with the option to purchase the equity interests and assets of the VIE

        Exclusive Option Agreement.    We, our WFOE, our VIE and each of the shareholders of our VIE entered into an Exclusive Option Agreement, pursuant to which the shareholders of our VIE will irrevocably granted our WFOE an exclusive option to purchase all or part of their equity interests of our VIE, and our VIE will irrevocably granted our WFOE an exclusive option to purchase all or part of its assets. Under the Exclusive Option Agreement, our WFOE has the right to exercise, or designate a person or entity to exercise, such options at the lowest price permitted under applicable PRC laws. The shareholders of our VIE undertake that, without our WFOE's prior written consent, they will not, among other things, (i) create any pledge or encumbrance on their equity interests of our VIE, (ii) transfer or otherwise dispose of their equity interests of our VIE, (iii) change our VIE's registered capital, (iv) amend our VIE's articles of association, (v) dispose of our VIE's material assets (except in the ordinary course of business), or (vi) merge our VIE with any other entity. In addition, our VIE undertakes that, without our WFOE's prior written consent, it will not, among other things, create any pledge or encumbrance on any of its assets, or transfer or otherwise dispose of its material assets (except in the ordinary course of business). The WFOE has the right to transfer its rights and/or obligations under the Exclusive Option Agreement to YX Asset. The Exclusive Option Agreement will remain effective until the entire equity interests and all the assets of our VIE have been transferred to our WFOE or its designated person or entity.

Financial Support Undertaking Letter

        We executed a financial support undertaking letter addressed to our VIE, pursuant to which we irrevocably undertake to provide unlimited financial support to our VIE to the extent permissible under the applicable PRC laws and regulations, regardless of whether our VIE has incurred an operational loss. We executed this financial support undertaking letter because our entire operation is located within the PRC and substantially carried out by our VIE, which may require capital from time to time to meet its operational needs. The board of directors of our VIE will decide how much financial support should be provided. The form of financial support includes but is not limited to cash, entrusted loans and borrowings. We will not request repayment of any outstanding loans or borrowings from our VIE under any circumstances. The letter is effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which all of the equity interests of our VIE have been acquired by us or its designated representative(s); and (ii) the date on which we, in our sole and absolute discretion, unilaterally terminate the applicable financial support undertaking letter.

Table of Contents

        In the opinion of Zhong Lun Law Firm, our PRC legal counsel:

    the ownership structures of our VIE in China and Hunan WFOE complied with all PRC laws and regulations then in effect from November 2018 to January 2019;

    the ownership structures of our VIE in China and Shanghai WFOE, both currently and immediately after giving effect to this offering, comply with all existing PRC laws and regulations; and

    the contractual arrangements among our company, our WFOE, our VIE and each of the shareholders of our VIE, governed by PRC law, are valid, binding and enforceable, and will not result in any violation of PRC laws or regulations currently in effect.

        However, our PRC legal counsel has also advised us that there are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of current and future PRC laws, regulations and rules. Accordingly, the PRC regulatory authorities may take a view that is contrary to the opinion of our PRC legal counsel. It is uncertain whether any new PRC laws or regulations relating to variable interest entity structures will be adopted or, if adopted, what they would provide. If we or our VIE are found to be in violation of any existing or future PRC laws or regulations, or fail to obtain or maintain any of the required permits or approvals, the relevant PRC regulatory authorities would have broad discretion to take action in dealing with such violations or failures. See "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure—If the agreements that establish the structure for certain of our operations in China do not comply with PRC regulations, or if these regulations or the interpretation of existing regulations change in the future, we could be subject to severe penalties or be forced to relinquish our interests in those operations" and "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in China—Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

        We use adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures, in evaluating our operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. Adjusted net income represents net income excluding share-based compensation expenses, and such adjustment has no impacts on income tax.

        We believe that adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that we include in net income. We believe that adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA provide useful information about our operating results, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.

        Adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to net income or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of our operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review the historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Adjusted net income and Adjusted EBITDA presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to our data. We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the section entitled "Selected Consolidated Financial Data" and our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results and the timing of selected events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus.

Overview

        We are a leading business service provider of delinquent consumer debt collection in China. We believe that delinquent consumer debt collection is crucial to the maintenance of a sound financial environment because debt collection is a mechanism to establish principles and rules governing consumer lending, and facilitates the restoration of credit of the debtors and the establishment of a society built on credit. According to iResearch, we are the largest provider of delinquent credit card receivables recovery service in the PRC in terms of total value of receivables under collection and number of collection specialists employed as of June 30, 2019, and total commission for the six months ended June 30, 2019. We offer nation-wide consumer debt collection services. We collect delinquent consumer receivables such as credit card receivables originated by commercial banks, and online receivables originated by online consumer finance companies. For the six month period ended June 30, 2019, we serviced seven of the top 10 commercial banks as measured by outstanding balance of credit cards in China in 2018, and reputable online consumer finance companies in China. Our clients engage us to collect delinquent consumer receivables and we primarily generate commission-based fees based on our collection success. Our industry expertise, operation scale, innovative approach and IT infrastructure allow us to offer our clients a cost-effective and trustworthy solution to recover delinquent consumer receivables. We intend to continue to leverage our strengths and grow our business through our disciplined approach, which has contributed to our growth and success to-date.

        We generate substantially all of our revenue from the commission we receive from the successful collection of delinquent consumer receivables. In the six months ended June 30, 2019, we derived 72.3% of our revenues from the collection of delinquent credit card receivables, 27.7% from the collection of online receivables, and the remaining revenue from other activities. In most cases, our clients have unsuccessfully attempted to collect these delinquent consumer receivables through their in-house collection teams and other service providers prior to engaging us. Tertiary receivables are past due for a longer period of time and more difficult to collect compared to fresher receivables such as primary and secondary receivables, and thus the market compensation for successful collection of tertiary receivables is generally higher than the market compensation for successful collection of primary and secondary receivables. We believe our focus on the tertiary receivables segment of the general market enables us to generate higher profit margins relative to other collection service providers in China.

        We have achieved strong growth in the recent period. In the six months ended June 30, 2019, our revenue reached RMB515.1 million (US$75.0 million), representing a growth of 75.8% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. In the six months ended June 30, 2019, our gross profit amounted to RMB133.2 million (US$19.4 million), representing a growth of 43.4% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2019, our net income for the period amounted to RMB47.4 million and

87


Table of Contents

RMB32.3 million (US$4.7 million), respectively. Our adjusted net income increased from RMB47.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 to RMB58.8 million (US$8.6 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2019. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures." From 2017 to 2018, our revenue increased from RMB595.3 million to RMB757.8 million (US$110.4 million). In 2017 and 2018, we reported gross profit of RMB207.2 million and RMB238.4 million (US$34.7 million), respectively, and recorded net income of RMB109.6 million and RMB124.0 million (US$18.1 million), respectively.

General Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

        Our business and operating results are affected by, among others, general factors that affect China's consumer receivable recovery industry, which include:

    China's overall economic growth and level of per capita disposable income;

    the availability of consumer credit and the continued growth of consumer debt in China;

    commercial banks, online consumer finance companies and other financial service providers' willingness to outsource delinquent consumer receivables for collection;

    commercial banks, online consumer finance companies and other financial service providers' pricing strategy for outsourced collections;

    the overall competitive landscape of the delinquent receivable recovery industry;

    the general collectability of the delinquent consumer receivables outsourced; and

    regulatory policies and initiatives that affect China's consumer receivable recovery industry.

        Unfavorable changes in any of these general industry conditions could negatively affect demand for our services and materially and adversely affect our results of operations.

Specific Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

        While our business is influenced by general factors affecting the consumer receivable recovery industry in China, we believe our results of operations are more directly affected by company-specific factors, including the following major factors.

Our ability to obtain sufficient quality delinquent consumer receivables for collection

        We derive our revenue primarily from providing collection services to commercial banks and online consumer finance companies. The commissions that we receive from such services represent the predominant source of our revenues. To operate profitably, we must continuously receive delinquent consumer receivables for collection from our clients. Therefore, our ability to maintain, develop and expand our business to obtain the same or greater value and number of quality delinquent consumer receivables for collection is essential to our operation. Any material change in consumer receivables for collection could have a significant impact on our results of operations. We currently maintain strong business relationships with top national commercial banks and reputable online consumer finance companies in China and have a consistent stream of receivables for collection. To this end, we need to continue to maintain our relationships with existing clients and develop business relationships with new clients to ensure that we have sufficient consumer receivables for collection.

Our ability to allocate company resources and select profitable consumer receivables for collection

        The efficient use of limited resources, which include human resources and capital commitments, to conduct our collection operation is fundamental to our success. Therefore, our ability to select profitable consumer receivables based on the receivables' overall collectability and projected commission revenue is essential to our operation. Based on our market experience and the industry data we accumulated over the years, we have the ability to assess and evaluate receivable portfolio bids under portfolio collection and the ability to target commercial banks as ideal clients under general collection. We believe as we further implement and incorporate greater technology into our collection platform, our ability to select profitable consumer receivables for collection and ability to allocate company resources will improve.

Our ability to collect delinquent consumer receivables efficiently

        Our business, financial condition and results of operations depend on our ability to collect delinquent consumer receivables efficiently. Our clients pay us a certain percentage of the total value of delinquent consumer receivables collected as commission and the commission rates are correlated to an agreed-upon collection rate schedule with our clients. Our operations have been profitable largely due to the fact that we have been able to collect these delinquent consumer receivables at rates that are generally above the industry average collection rates, and thus receive relatively higher commissions. The key measures of our collection efficiency are the monthly average amount collected per collection specialist, monthly commission earned per collection specialist and the total amount collected. As a result of our experienced collection specialists and advances in technology, we believe we can maintain and continue to improve our overall productivity and efficiency in our future operation.

Our ability to manage our growth effectively

        We expanded rapidly since our formation and intend to continue to expand our business in terms of market segment expansion, geographic presence and strategic partnerships. As a part of our overall expansion plan, we will leverage our experience in tertiary receivable recovery into earlier stage consumer receivable segments and other non-consumer receivable markets, increase our geographic coverage in China by establishing additional offices and synergize our big data resources into our current operations.

    Market Segment Expansion.    We believe our success in the tertiary receivable segment enables us to expand into other segments of the collection industry.

    Geographic Expansion.    We will continue to use our centralized operations and proprietary management system to manage our ongoing geographic expansion. Many of our competitors allow their regional offices to operate relatively more independent from central management by allowing their branch offices to engage clients directly and only collect delinquent consumer receivables from credit originators in that local area. Unlike our competitors, our company headquarters in Changsha centrally manage our regional offices by centralizing nationwide client engagement efforts and allocating consumer receivables to regional offices and operating centers for collection based on our efficiency analysis. Therefore, we believe we can maintain the same quality of service throughout all of our regional offices.

    Partnerships.    Our strategic partnership with China Unicom aims to utilize the database of one of the largest telecommunication service providers in China to strengthen our

89


Table of Contents

      skip tracing system. We believe we can leverage and utilize China Unicom's large database resources into our current platform to improve our collection efficiency.

        We believe we can manage our expansion initiatives effectively to develop and grow our company. Failure to do so could adversely affect our business and results of operation.

Our ability to invest in technology infrastructure effectively

        Our technology infrastructure and innovation are critical to our collection service. We must continue to upgrade and expand our technology infrastructure to keep pace with the growth of our operations and accommodate changes in the market. We devote significant resources to develop and improve our technology. In addition, we aim to incorporate the use of AI, and big data analytical capability platform into our current technology infrastructure. We believe our ability to effectively invest in technology infrastructure solidifies our status as an innovative industry leader. Failure to continue to successfully adopt technology infrastructure could adversely affect our results of operation.

Our ability to attract, nurture, retain and motivate collection specialists and our ability to manage staff costs

        Our ability to collect delinquent consumer receivables depends on our collection specialists' capability and experience. Therefore, the ability to attract, nurture, retain and motivate capable collection specialists is critical to the success of our business. We believe our reputation as an industry leader and a preferred employer as well as the training and compensation we offer to our employees afford us the ability to maintain a sufficient level of employees to ensure our business operation, overall productivity and expansion initiative to develop and grow our company.

        Our efforts to maintain a capable collection team must be balanced with the effective management of staff costs. Staff costs constitute our largest operating cost by far. The inability to manage staff costs diminishes our profitability. We continue to implement and incorporate technologies to increase per specialist output and reduce reliance on human resources in expanding our business.

Collection Service

        We collect delinquent consumer receivables such as delinquent credit card receivables and online receivables. We mainly generate our revenues from commissions received for the successful collection of delinquent credit card receivables. With the emergence of the online receivable industry and the growth of online receivable market in China, we expect our revenue generated from online receivable collections to increase in the next few years.

Others

        Revenue from other services in 2016 and 2017 primarily consists of revenues generated from Yong Xin Catering for meal services provided to our employees. In March 2017, Yong Xin Catering was sold to Changsha Yong Xiong Equity Investment Management Co., Ltd., or Yong Xiong Equity Investment, a company controlled by our founder, Mr. Tan.

Operating Costs and Expenses

        Our operating costs and expenses consist of (i) cost of revenues, (ii) selling and marketing expenses, and (iii) general and administrative expenses.

        Cost of revenues.    Our cost of revenues mainly consists of staff costs, operating lease charges, depreciation and amortization, property management fees, and communication charges incurred from our provision of collection services. Staff costs under cost of revenues consist of the salary, bonus, social benefit contributions and other compensation that we pay to our collection specialists. Operating lease charges are expenses related to the lease of our operating centers in Changsha and regional offices. Depreciation and amortization expenses consist of the depreciated value of our property and equipment such as buildings, leasehold improvements and building decorations, machinery and electronic equipment, office equipment and motor vehicles used for our collection service. Property management fees consist of management fees and utility expenses for our operating centers and regional offices. Communication charges are expenses related to our collection service in which we attempt to contact debtors mainly by telephone calls and text messages.

        Selling and marketing expenses.    Our sales expenses consist of business entertainment expenses, and other related expenses. Business entertainment expenses are expenses incurred by our marketing department for providing meals, hotel accommodations and transportation for business development activities. Other related expenses primarily consist of marketing and advertising expenses.

        General and administrative expenses.    Our general and administrative expenses mainly consist of staff costs, depreciation and amortization, business entertainment expenses, professional fees and other related expenses. Similar to our cost of revenues, staff costs and depreciation and amortization of assets comprise a large portion of our general and administrative expenses. Under general and administrative expenses, staff costs are salary, bonus, social benefit contributions and other compensation to company management and administrative staff. Depreciation and amortization expenses consist of depreciated value of our property and equipment such as buildings, leasehold improvements and building decorations, machinery and electronic equipment, office equipment and motor vehicles used by our company management administrative staff. Business entertainment expenses are meal, hotel accommodation and transportation expenses incurred by our administrative and management departments for business development activities. Professional fees consist of fees the company paid to law firms, accounting and auditing firms and consulting firms for legal, auditing, tax and other professional services. We expect that we will continue to incur

91


Table of Contents

expenses for professional services in the near future as we become a publicly listed company and need to comply with U.S. securities laws and other U.S. regulations. Other expenses include miscellaneous administrative and office expenses.

Interest Expenses

        In the course of engaging our clients to obtain portfolio collection contracts, we may need to provide security deposits to these clients as guarantees for the minimum value of consumer receivables collected. We may, from time to time, finance these security deposits by obtaining loans from various banks. Therefore, we incur interest expenses for the provision of security deposits. We also obtained a mortgage for the purchase of our headquarters building in Changsha which contributed to our interest expenses.

Taxation

        We had income tax expenses of RMB29.1 million, RMB29.6 million, RMB46.4 million (US$6.8 million) and RMB29.8 million (US$4.3 million) in 2016, 2017, 2018 and the six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. We are subject to various rates of income tax under different jurisdictions. The following summarizes the major factors affecting our applicable tax rates in the Cayman Islands, Hong Kong and the PRC.

Cayman Islands

        We are an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. Under the current laws of the Cayman Islands, we are not subject to income, corporation or capital gains tax in the Cayman Islands. In addition, our payment of dividends to our shareholders, if any, is not subject to withholding tax in the Cayman Islands.

Hong Kong

        Our subsidiaries in Hong Kong are subject to the uniform tax rate of 16.5%. Under Hong Kong tax law, our subsidiaries in Hong Kong are exempted from income tax on their foreign-derived income and there is no withholding tax in Hong Kong on remittance of dividends. A two-tiered profits tax rates regime was introduced in 2018 where the first HK$2,000 of assessable profits earned by a company will be taxed at half of the current tax rate while the remaining profits will continue to be taxed at 16.5%. We did not make any provisions for Hong Kong profit tax as there were no assessable profits derived from or earned in Hong Kong for any of the periods presented.

PRC

        Generally, our PRC subsidiary, our VIE and its subsidiaries are subject to enterprise income tax, or EIT, on their taxable income in the PRC at a rate of 25.0%. The EIT is calculated based on the entity's global income as determined under PRC tax laws and accounting standards.

        Yubang Software currently qualifies as a Newly Established and Qualified Software Enterprise and enjoys two year tax holiday from 2016 to 2017 and three year 50.0% tax reductions under the preferential tax treatment from 2018 to 2020.

        Our PRC subsidiary, our VIE and its subsidiaries are currently subject to VAT at a rate of 6.0% on the services we provide.

        If our holding company in the Cayman Islands or our subsidiary outside of the PRC were deemed to be a "resident enterprise" under the EIT law, it would be subject to EIT on its

worldwide income at a rate of 25.0%. See "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in China—If we are classified as a PRC resident enterprise for PRC income tax purposes, such classification could result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC shareholders or ADS holders."

Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2018

Revenues

        Our revenue from debt collection increased by 75.9% from RMB292.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 to RMB515.0 million (US$75.0 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily driven by the increase in total amount of debt we collected on behalf of our clients, which increased by 101.2% from RMB733.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to RMB1.6 billion (US$233.0 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Our revenue from the collection of delinquent credit card receivables increased by 45.7% from RMB255.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to RMB372.4 million (US$54.3 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Our revenue from the collection of online receivables increased by 282.5% from RMB37.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to RMB142.6 million (US$20.8 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Collection of delinquent credit card receivables continued to generate a substantial portion of our revenues while collection of online receivables experienced significant growth. The increase in delinquent credit card receivable collection was attributable to the expansion of our business operations and the establishment of additional regional offices, continued engagement of high quality clients and receivables under portfolio and general collections, our enhanced capacity to service more delinquent credit card receivables effected by the

93


Table of Contents

hiring of additional collection specialists, our commitment to maintain our competitive edge in technological advances and improvement in operation efficiency. The significant increase in online receivable collection was attributable to the continued growth of the online receivable industry and our strategic effort to further establish ourselves in the collection of online receivables from online consumer finance companies. Our recent efforts to engage more online consumer finance companies have diversified our client base and broadened the source of consumer receivables we obtained for collection. Similar to the collection of credit card receivables, the commission we receive from the collection of online receivables depends on the collectability of these receivables. Receivables originated from online consumer finance companies are not materially different from credit card receivables originated from commercial banks. As such, the origination of online receivables does not materially impact our key operating measures and data. For more details regarding our key operating data, please see "Business—Our Services—Business Model."

        The total amount of debt we collected grew at a higher rate compared to our revenue growth as a result of the decrease in effective commission rate. The decrease in effective commission rate was primarily attributed to variations in the delinquency period for tertiary receivables we were engaged to collect; as the overall period of delinquency of tertiary receivables we collected generally decreased in the six months ended June 30, 2019, the effective commission rate decreased as well. Our continued engagement of primary and secondary receivables, which have a lower effective commission rate compared to tertiary receivables, also contributed to the effect.

Cost of Revenues

        Our cost of revenues increased by 90.9% from RMB200.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to RMB381.9 million (US$55.6 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2019 due to the expansion of our business and by the increases in staff costs, operating lease charges and depreciation and amortization.

        Staff costs.    Staff costs experienced a two-fold increase from RMB172.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 to RMB342.1 million (US$49.8 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2019 as a result of the hiring of 3,181 additional collection specialists. In addition to a growing workforce, increases in employee salary and contribution to the employees' social security benefits also contributed to the overall increase in staff costs in the six months ended June 30, 2019. Our average employee compensation increased by 23.8% from RMB4,777 per month in the six months ended June 30, 2018 to RMB5,912 (US$861.2) in the six months ended June 30, 2019.

        Operating lease charges.    Operating lease charges increased by 35.9% from RMB16.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to RMB22.1 million (US$3.2 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as a result of the establishment of additional operating centers and regional offices in various cities in China.

        Depreciation and amortization.    Depreciation and amortization increased by 79.3% from RMB5.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to RMB10.3 million (US$1.5 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as a result of the increased leasehold improvement for renovation as well as the purchase of computer equipment and furniture for our new operating centers and regional offices.

Gross Profit

        As a result of the foregoing, we had gross profits of RMB92.9 million and RMB133.2 million (US$19.4 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2019, respectively, which represented a 43.4% growth. Our gross profit as a percentage of revenues, or gross margin, were 31.7% and 25.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2019, respectively. Our gross margin decreased in the six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to increases in costs related to our business expansion plan. While our revenue increased for the six months ended June 30, 2019, staff costs increased significantly due to the hiring of additional collection specialists as part of our expansion plan. Our newly hired collection specialists also required certain time and training to attain the collection efficiency of our more experienced collection specialists. This impacted the growth rate for gross profits in the six months ended June 30, 2019. In addition, we conducted a one-off comprehensive compliance review in the second quarter of 2019 as part of our expansion plan. We allocated significant resources for this compliance review, and as a result our collection activities decreased during the second quarter of 2019. We expect our gross margin to normalize as our regional offices continue to improve their operations and as our new employees gain more experience in the consumer receivables collection industry to reach an optimal efficiency level.

Operating Expenses

Selling and Marketing Expenses

        Selling and marketing expenses decreased by 57.8% from RMB263,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to RMB111,000 (US$16,169) for the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to a significant decrease in expenses related to the advertising activities due to improvements in our market recognition.

General and Administrative Expenses

        General and administrative expenses increased significantly from RMB27.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to RMB76.7 million (US$11.2 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to increases in share-based compensation expenses, staff costs, professional fees and other expenses. The share-based compensation expense of RMB26.5 million (US$3.9 million) recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was due to the accelerated vesting of certain restricted ordinary shares held by a former employee, who resigned in May 2019. Staff costs under general and administrative expenses increased from RMB14.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to RMB23.5 million (US$3.4 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2019 due to the hiring of new employees for administrative purposes related to the operations of our new regional offices. In addition, we closed a number of pilot regional offices as part of our expansion plan to test certain geographical markets and the related dismissal costs contributed to the increase of staff costs. We also incurred losses on disposal of property and equipment of RMB3.4 million (US$502,403) for the six months ended June 30, 2019 due to the closing of several operating centers. Apart from that, professional fees increased from RMB1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to RMB5.3 million (US$770,430) for the six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to increased expenses related to our restructuring and financing plan.

Interest Expense

        We had interest expense of RMB1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and RMB1.5 million (US$213,110) for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The slight increase in

95


Table of Contents

interest expense was mainly due to the increase in the use of revolving credit for the provision of security deposits required for some of the portfolio collections.

Income Tax Expense

        We had income tax expenses of RMB16.6 million and RMB29.8 million (US$4.3 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2019, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2019 was 26.0% and 47.9% respectively.

        Yubang Software obtained a software enterprise certificate in 2016. Pursuant to the relevant tax laws, Yubang Software qualified as a "Newly Established and Qualified Software Enterprises," and was entitled to a tax holiday from 2016 to 2017. From 2018 to 2020, Yubang Software is entitled to a preferential income tax rate of 12.5%.

        The PRC statutory tax rate applicable to our operations is a uniform rate of 25%. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2018 differs from the PRC statutory income tax rate of 25% primarily due to the effect of the unrecognized tax benefits and change in valuation allowance, partially offset by the effect of the preferential income tax rate Yubang Software enjoyed. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019 differs from the PRC statutory income tax rate of 25% primarily due to the effect of non-deductible share-based compensation expense and change in valuation allowance, partially offset by the effect of the preferential income tax rate Yubang Software enjoyed.

Net Income

        As a result of the foregoing, we had net income of RMB47.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 and RMB32.3 million (US$4.7 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Year Ended December 31, 2018 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2017

Revenues

        Our revenues increased by 27.3% from RMB595.3 million in 2017 to RMB757.8 million (US$110.4 million) in 2018.

        Collection Service.    Our revenue from debt collection increased by 27.7% from RMB593.5 million in 2017 to RMB757.7 million (US$110.4 million) in 2018, primarily driven by the increase in total amount of debt we collected on behalf of our clients, which increased by 43.0% from RMB1.4 billion in 2017 to RMB2.1 billion (US$305.9 million) in 2018. Our revenue from the collection of delinquent credit card receivables increased by 6.1% from RMB574.9 million in 2017 to RMB610.1 million (US$88.9 million) in 2018. Our revenue from the collection of online receivables experienced significant growth, which increased from RMB18.6 million in 2017 to RMB147.6 million (US$21.5 million) in 2018. Collection of delinquent credit card receivables generated a substantial portion of our revenues and growth while collection of online receivables experienced exponential growth in 2018. The increase in delinquent credit card receivable collection was attributable to our engagement of higher quality clients and receivables under portfolio and general collections, our overall increase in capacity to service more delinquent credit card receivables, our technological advances and improvement in operation efficiency. The significant increase in online receivable collection was attributable to the growth of the online receivable industry and our conscious effort to obtain more receivables for collection from online consumer finance companies by allocating additional resources in order to establish ourselves in this market segment. In addition to

96


Table of Contents

collecting a greater number and value of online receivables for our existing clients, we obtained receivables for collection from new clients.

        The total amount of debt we collected grew at a higher rate compared to our revenue growth as a result of the decrease in effective commission rate. The decrease in effective commission rate was primarily attributed to variations in the deliquency period for tertiary receivables we were engaged to collect; as the overall period of deliquency of tertiary receivables under collection generally decreased in this period, the effective commission rate decreased as well. We also began to engage secondary receivables for collection in 2018, which have a lower effective commission rate.

        Others.    Revenue from other services decreased by 92.8% from RMB1.7 million in 2017 to RMB124,000 (US$18,063) in 2018 mainly because we ceased operation of Yong Xin Catering in March 2017.

Cost of Revenues

        Our cost of revenues increased by 33.8% from RMB388.1 million in 2017 to RMB519.4 million (US$75.7 million) in 2018 as a result of increases in staff costs, operating lease charges, depreciation and amortization and property management fees.

        Staff costs.    Staff costs increased by 33.1% from RMB342.0 million in 2017 to RMB455.2 million (US$66.3 million) in 2018 as a result of the hiring of 2,547 additional collection specialists. In addition to a growing workforce, increases in employee salary and contribution to the employees' social security benefits also contributed to the overall increase in staff costs in 2018. Our average employee compensation increased by 17.8% from RMB4,733 per month in 2017 to RMB5,575 (US$812.1) per month in 2018.

        Operating lease charges.    Operating lease charges increased by 52.2% from RMB24.6 million in 2017 to RMB37.4 million (US$5.4 million) in 2018 as a result of the establishment of additional regional offices and operating centers in the PRC.

        Depreciation and amortization.    Depreciation and amortization increased by 32.3% from RMB9.4 million in 2017 to RMB12.5 million (US$1.8 million) in 2018 as a result of the increased leasehold improvement for renovation as well as the purchase of computer equipment and furniture for our newly established regional offices.

        Property Management Fees:    Property management fees increased from RMB4.4 million in 2017 to RMB6.5 million (US$953,387) in 2018 due to the establishment of additional regional offices in China in 2018.

        Communication charges.    Expenses for the use of telephone and text message in rendering collection services decreased by 4.6% from RMB6.1 million in 2017 to RMB5.8 million (US$847,050) in 2018 due to the fact that we were able to obtain a preferred service plan with a lower average rate from our telephone service provider in 2018.

Gross Profit

        As a result of the foregoing, we had gross profit of RMB207.2 million and RMB238.4 million (US$34.7 million) in 2017 and 2018, respectively, which represented a 15.1% growth. Our gross profit as a percentage of revenues, or gross margin, decreased from 34.8% in 2017 to 31.5% in 2018. Our gross margin decreased slightly in 2018 due to our regional expansion, the hiring of additional collection specialists and the implementation of a new incentive mechanism, which increased the overall compensation for our employees. Because new

97


Table of Contents

collection specialists require certain time to reach the optimal collection efficiency, the improvement of average efficiency of the collection team was less than the increase in overall compensation we offered the collection team. These factors combine to decrease our gross margin in 2018.

Operating Expenses

Selling and Marketing Expenses

        Selling and marketing expenses decreased by 48.8% from RMB981,000 in 2017 to RMB502,000 (US$73,125) in 2018, primarily due to a decrease in marketing and advertising activities. As a result of the decrease in advertising activities, advertising expenses decreased from RMB728,000 in 2017 to RMB429,000 (US$62,491) in 2018.

General and Administrative Expenses

        General and administrative expenses increased by 23.8% from RMB56.5 million in 2017 to RMB69.9 million (US$10.2 million) in 2018, primarily due to the increase in professional fees and other expenses. Our professional fee increased significantly from RMB448,000 in 2017 to RMB11.5 million (US$1.7 million) in 2018 for expenses related to this offering. Travel expenses under other expenses in general and administrative expenses increased by 54.7% from RMB1.9 million in 2017 to RMB 2.9 million (US$423,015) in 2018 due to the establishment of our regional offices. These increases were offset by minimal decreases in other general and administrative expenses such as staff costs, property management fee and business entertainment expenses.

Interest Expense

        We had interest expense of RMB12.6 million in 2017 and RMB2.5 million (US$360,524) in 2018. The significant decrease in interest expense in 2018 was mainly due to the repayment of bank loans and the decrease of insurance fees for bank loans.

Income Tax Expense

        We had income tax expense of RMB29.6 million in 2017 and RMB46.4 million (US$6.8 million) in 2018. Our effective tax rate increased from 21.2% in 2017 to 27.2% in 2018. The increase in effective income tax rate was primarily due to the changes in income tax exemption enjoyed by Yubang Software.

        Yubang Software obtained a software enterprise certificate in 2016. Pursuant to the respective tax laws, Yubang Software qualifies as a "Newly Established and Qualified Software Enterprises," and was entitled to an income tax holiday from 2016 to 2017. The effect of Yubang Software's tax holiday was RMB4.1 million and RMB11.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017, respectively. From 2018 to 2020, Yubang Software is entitled to a preferential income tax rate of 12.5%. The tax rate increase for Yubang Software increased our overall effective tax rate.

Net Income

        As a result of the foregoing, we had net income of RMB109.6 million and RMB124.0 million (US$18.1 million) in 2017 and 2018, respectively, which represented a 13.2% increase.

Year Ended December 31, 2017 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2016

Revenues

        Our revenues increased by 36.6% from RMB435.6 million in 2016 to RMB595.3 million in 2017.

        Collection Service.    Our revenue from debt collection increased by 38.0% from RMB430.0 million in 2016 to RMB593.5 million in 2017, primarily driven by the increase in total amount of debt we collected on behalf of our clients, which increased by 56.0% from RMB920.5 million in 2016 to RMB1.4 billion in 2017. Our revenue from the collection of delinquent credit card receivables increased by 36.9% from RMB420.0 million in 2016 to RMB574.9 million in 2017. Our revenue from the collection of online receivables increased by 86.0% from RMB10.0 million in 2016 to RMB18.6 million in 2017. Collection of delinquent credit card receivables continued to generate a substantial portion of our revenues and growth while collection of online receivables experienced large growth in 2017. The increase in delinquent credit card receivable collection was attributable to our engagement of higher quality clients and receivables under portfolio and general collections, our overall increase in capacity to service more delinquent credit card receivables, our technological advances and improvement in operation efficiency. The significant increase in online receivable collection was attributable to the growth of the online receivables industry and our conscious effort to obtain more receivables for collection from online consumer finance companies by allocating additional resources in order to establish ourselves in this market segment. In addition to collecting a greater number and value of online receivables for our existing clients, we obtained receivables for collection from new clients.

        Others    Revenue from other services decreased by 69.0% from RMB5.6 million in 2016 to RMB1.7 million in 2017 mainly because we ceased operation of Yong Xin Catering in March 2017.

        The total amount of debt we collected grew at a higher rate compared to our revenue growth as a result of the decrease in effective commission rate. The ceased operation of Yong Xin Catering partially offset the increase in revenue generated from debt collection as well.

Cost of Revenues

        Our cost of revenues increased by 59.0% from RMB244.1 million in 2016 to RMB388.1 million in 2017 as a result of increases in staff costs, operating lease charges, depreciation and amortization and communication charges.

        Staff costs.    Staff costs increased by 57.7% from RMB216.8 million in 2016 to RMB342.0 million in 2017 as a result of the hiring of 244 additional collection specialists. In addition to a growing workforce, increases in employee salary and contribution to the employees' social security benefits also contributed to the overall increase in staff costs in 2017. Our average employee compensation increased by 5.6% from RMB4,482 per month in 2016 to RMB4,733 per month in 2017.

        Operating lease charges.    Operating lease charges increased by 69.7% from RMB14.5 million in 2016 to RMB24.6 million in 2017 as a result of the additional operating centers in Changsha and various other facilities.

        Depreciation and amortization.    Depreciation and amortization increased by 118.6% from RMB4.3 million in 2016 to RMB9.4 million in 2017 as a result of the increased leasehold improvement for renovation as well as the purchase of computer equipment and furniture for the Xinyuan and Riye operating centers.

99


Table of Contents

        Communication charges.    Expenses for the use of telephone and text message in rendering collection services increased by 52.5% from RMB4.0 million in 2016 to RMB6.1 million in 2017 as a result of the increase in our overall business activity and, in particular, an increase in the number of receivables under collection in 2017.

Gross Profit

        As a result of the foregoing, we had gross profit of RMB191.5 million and RMB207.2 million in 2016 and 2017, respectively. Our gross profit as a percentage of revenues, or gross margin, decreased from 44.0% in 2016 to 34.8% in 2017. We maintained a relatively stable gross margin since the commencement of our operations in 2015. The exceptional increase in gross margin in 2016 was due to our first business engagement with one of the largest commercial banks in China for its portfolio collection. This particular client overestimated the collection difficulty and anticipated a longer collection period in order for us to meet the collection requirement. As our commission rate was correlated to the difficulty of collection, we met the collection requirement sooner than anticipated and generated RMB111.8 million in commission fee, which represented a substantial portion of our revenue in 2016. Such efficient collection service also afforded us resources to engage more collection portfolios in 2016. This particular engagement generated an exceptionally high commission rate and, as a result, our gross margin in 2016 was substantially higher than our gross margin of prior years. This particular client adjusted its pricing strategy in its subsequent business engagements with us, and our gross margin stabilized in 2017.

Operating Expenses

Selling and Marketing Expenses

        Selling and marketing expenses decreased by 14.3% from RMB1.1 million in 2016 to RMB981,000 in 2017, primarily due to a decrease in marketing and advertising activities. As a result of the decrease in advertising activities, advertising expenses decreased from RMB1.1 million in 2016 to RMB728,000 in 2017.

General and Administrative Expenses

        General and administrative expenses increased by 1.8% from RMB55.5 million in 2016 to RMB56.5 million in 2017, primarily due to the increase in staff costs, depreciation and amortization, business entertainment expenses and conference fees. Our staff costs increased by 5.7% from RMB33.1 million in 2016 to RMB35.0 million in 2017 mainly due to an increased headcount. Our depreciation and amortization increased by 23.9% from RMB4.6 million in 2016 to RMB5.7 million in 2017 primarily due to leasehold improvements for the renovation of our new headquarters office building in 2016. Our business entertainment expenses and conference fees increased by 114.6% from RMB966,000 in 2016 to RMB2.1 million in 2017 as a result of an increase in business development activities. These increases were offset by decreases in other general and administrative expenses such as company donations which decreased from RMB2.9 million in 2016 to RMB100,000 in 2017.

Interest Expense

        We had interest expense of RMB8.4 million in 2016 and RMB12.6 million in 2017. The 49.4% increase in interest expense in 2017 was mainly due to our increased use of revolving credit for the provision of security deposits required for some of the portfolio collections as we obtained additional portfolio collections from our clients in 2017.

Table of Contents

Income Tax Expense

        We had income tax expense of RMB29.1 million in 2016 and RMB29.6 million in 2017. Our effective tax rate decreased from 23.0% in 2016 to 21.2% in 2017. The difference in effective income tax rate and the PRC statutory tax rate of 25% applicable to our major operating subsidiaries was primarily due to the income tax exemption enjoyed by Yubang Software, which was partially offset by non-deductible expenses.

        Yubang Software obtained a software enterprise certificate in 2016. Pursuant to the respective tax laws, Yubang Software qualifies as a "Newly Established and Qualified Software Enterprises," and was entitled to a preferred income tax rate of 0% from 2016 to 2017. The effect of Yubang Software's tax holiday was RMB4.1 million and RMB11.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017, respectively.

Net Income

        As a result of the foregoing, we had net income of RMB97.6 million and RMB109.6 million in 2016 and 2017, respectively, which represented a 12.2% increase.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

        We use adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures, in evaluating our operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. Adjusted net income represents net income excluding share-based compensation expenses, and such adjustment has no impacts on income tax.

        We believe that adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that we include in net income. We believe that adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA provide useful information about our operating results, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.

        Adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to net income or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of our operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review the historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Adjusted net income and Adjusted EBITDA presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to our data. We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

        Notwithstanding the fluctuations of our quarterly results of operations in the three months ended March 31, 2018, June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2019, respectively, we have achieved significant revenue growth from September 30, 2017 to June 30, 2019 primarily due to our strategic effort to expand our collection of online receivables from online consumer finance companies, in addition to the persistent growth of our collection of credit card receivables. The revenue fluctuations in the three months ended March 31, 2018 was due to seasonality factors and June 30, 2018 was due to pricing strategy adjustments made by one of our clients, whose commission rate was significantly higher in previous quarters. The revenue fluctuation in the three months ended June 30, 2019 was due to the one-off comprehensive compliance review. The net loss in the three months ended June 30, 2019 was mainly due to the shared-based compensation expense charged in accordance with an employee incentive arrangement. Our performance has rebounded from the one-off events; for the two months ended August 31, 2019, our revenue grossed RMB217.1 (US$31.6 million). Our quarterly cost of revenue generally increased primarily due to the growth of our collection activities, which we achieved through the hiring of additional collection specialists, establishment of additional regional offices and incurrence of other costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        Prior to this offering, our principal source of liquidity has been the commissions that we receive for our successful collection of consumer receivables.

        As of December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2019, our total current assets were RMB331.2 million (US$48.2 million) and RMB379.3 million (US$55.3 million), respectively. As of June 30, 2019, our total current assets were primarily consisted of accounts receivable, cash, prepaid expenses and other current assets, and contract assets. We had RMB247.5 million

103


Table of Contents

(US$36.1 million) in accounts receivable of VIE which consisted of commission receivables from clients, and we expect to recover these receivables within one year. We had RMB93.5 million (US$13.6 million) in cash. Our cash consisted of cash at bank and on hand, which are unrestricted from withdrawal or use. We had RMB37.3 million (US$5.4 million) in prepaid expenses and other current assets of VIE. We had RMB828,000 (US$120,612) in contract assets which are recognized when we recognize revenue before being unconditionally entitled to the consideration under the payment terms set out in the contract.

        As of December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2019, our total current liabilities were RMB192.4 million (US$28.0 million) and RMB191.3 million (US$27.9 million), respectively. As of June 30, 2019, our total current liabilities primarily consisted of accrued expenses and other payables, income tax payables and short-term bank loans. RMB126.7 million (US$18.5 million) in accrued expenses and other payables which mainly include RMB94.7 million (US$13.8 million) in accrued payroll and benefits, RMB15.7 million (US$2.3 million) in VAT and other tax payables, and RMB5.5 million (US$807,866) in payables for construction of building and purchase of equipment.

        We had a working capital (defined as total current assets deducted by total current liabilities) surplus as of December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2019. Historically, we have been profitable and are able to generate positive net cash flows. We were able to generate a working capital surplus due to our effort to deleverage through loan repayment, which reduced current liabilities, and an increase in current trade receivables as a result of our business growth.

        We believe that our current cash and our anticipated cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital requirements and capital expenditures for the 12 months following this offering. We may, however, need additional capital in the future to fund our continued operations. The issuance and sale of additional equity would result in further dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed obligations and could result in operating covenants that would restrict our operations. In the future, should we require additional liquidity and capital resources to fund our business and operations, we may need to obtain additional financing, including financing from new and/or existing shareholders, and financing generated through capital markets and commercial banks. See "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business."

        As of June 30, 2019, 100.0% of our cash were held in the PRC by the Yong Xiong Group and its subsidiaries.

        Although we will consolidate the results of our VIE and its subsidiaries, we will only have access to the assets or earnings of our VIE and its subsidiaries through our contractual arrangements with our VIE and its shareholders. See "Corporate History and Structure—Contractual Arrangements with the VIE and Its Shareholders." For restrictions and limitations on liquidity and capital resources as a result of our corporate structure, see "—Holding company structure."

        In utilizing the proceeds that we expect to receive from this offering, we may make additional capital contributions to our PRC subsidiary, establish new PRC subsidiaries and make capital contributions to these new PRC subsidiaries, make loans to these PRC subsidiaries, or acquire offshore entities with business operations in China in offshore

transactions. However, most of these uses are subject to PRC regulations and approvals. For example:

    capital contributions to our existing PRC subsidiary or any new subsidiaries in the PRC that we may establish must be filed with MOFCOM in its foreign investment comprehensive management information system; and

    loans by us to our PRC subsidiary to finance its activities cannot exceed the difference between its registered capital and its total investment amount as recorded in the foreign investment comprehensive management information system or, as an alternative, we may procure loans subject to the Risk-Weighted Approach and the Net Asset Limits and must be registered with SAFE or its local branches or filed with SAFE in its information system.

        See "Regulation—Regulations on Foreign Exchange." There is, in effect, no statutory limit on the amount of capital contribution that we can make to our PRC subsidiary. This is because there is no statutory limit on the amount of registered capital for companies under PRC laws, and we are allowed to make capital contributions to our PRC subsidiary by subscribing for its initial registered capital and increased registered capital, provided that the PRC subsidiary completes the relevant filing and registration procedures. With respect to loans to the PRC subsidiaries by us, (i) if the relevant PRC subsidiary determine to adopt the traditional foreign exchange administration mechanism, or the Current Foreign Debt mechanism, the outstanding amount of the loans should not exceed the difference between the total investment and the registered capital of the PRC subsidiaries and there is, in effect, no statutory limit on the amount of loans that we can make to our PRC subsidiary under this circumstance since we can increase the registered capital of our PRC subsidiary by making capital contributions to it, subject to the completion of relevant registrations, and the difference between the total investment and the registered capital will increase accordingly; and (ii) if the relevant PRC subsidiary determines to adopt the foreign exchange administration mechanism as provided in the Notice No. 9 Foreign Debt mechanism, the risk-weighted outstanding amount of the loans, which is calculated based on the formula provided in the PBOC Notice No. 9, should not exceed 200.0% of the net asset of the relevant PRC subsidiary. According to the PBOC Notice No. 9, after a transition period of one year beginning from the promulgation of the PBOC Notice No. 9, the PBOC and SAFE will determine the cross-border financing administration mechanism for the foreign-invested enterprises after evaluating the overall implementation of the PBOC Notice No. 9. As of the date hereof, neither PBOC nor SAFE has promulgated and made public any further rules, regulations, notices or circulars in this regard. It is uncertain which mechanism will be adopted by PBOC and SAFE in the future and what statutory limits will be imposed on us when providing loans to our PRC subsidiary.

        A majority of our future revenues are likely to continue to be in the form of Renminbi. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, Renminbi may be converted into foreign exchange for current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and trade-and service related foreign exchange transactions.

        Our PRC subsidiary may convert Renminbi amounts that it generates in its own business activities, including technical consulting and related service fees pursuant to its contracts with the VIE, as well as dividends they receive from their own subsidiaries, into foreign exchange and pay them to their non-PRC parent companies in the form of dividends. However, current PRC regulations permit our PRC subsidiary to pay dividends to us only out of its accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Our PRC subsidiary is required to set aside at least 10.0% of its after-tax profits after making up previous years' accumulated losses each year, if any, to fund certain reserve funds until the

105


Table of Contents

total amount set aside reaches 50.0% of its registered capital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. Furthermore, capital account transactions, which include foreign direct investment and loans, must be approved by and/or registered with SAFE and its local branches. The total amount of loans we can make to our PRC subsidiary cannot exceed statutory limits and must be registered with the local counterpart of SAFE. The statutory limit for the total amount of foreign debts of a foreign-invested company is the difference between the amount of total investment as approved by the MOFCOM and the amount of registered capital of such foreign-invested company.

Net Cash Provided By Operating Activities

        Net cash provided by operating activities increased from RMB35.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 to RMB37.6 million (US$5.5 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to the combined effect of adjustments made to reconcile net income to net cash and changes in operating assets and liabilities. While the increase was minimal, adjustments made for non-cash transactions and changes in operating assets and liabilities varied. Key factors that caused operating cash inflow included the non-cash adjustments on share-based compensation from nil in the six months ended June 30, 2018 to RMB26.5 million (US$3.9 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2019, changes in balances of accounts receivable increased by RMB23.6 million from RMB 20.6 million outflow in the six months ended June 30, 2018 to RMB3.1 million (US$445,157) in the six months ended June 30, 2019, and cash outflow from prepaid expenses and other current assets decreased from RMB 40.7 million outflow in the six months ended June 30, 2018 to RMB22.3 million (US$3.2 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in operating cash inflow was partially offset by a decrease in changes in contract assets from RMB13.5 million inflow in the six months ended June 30, 2018 to RMB2.9 million (US$421,996) in the six months ended June 30, 2019, and changes in balances of accrued expenses and other liabilities decreased by RMB37.2 million from RMB29.9 million inflow in the six months ended June 30, 2018 to RMB7.3 million (US$1.1 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2019.

        Net cash provided by operating activities decreased from RMB137.2 million in 2017 to RMB63.7 million (US$9.3 million) in 2018 primarily due to the combined effect of changes in operating assets and liabilities. Key changes in operating assets and liabilities that caused the decrease in net cash provided by operating activities included changes in the increase in accounts receivable from RMB13.3 million in 2017 to RMB145.5 million (US$21.2 million) in 2018 and accrued expenses and other liabilities decreased from RMB60.8 million accrued in 2017 to RMB7.2 million (US$1.1 million) paid in 2018. The significant increase in accounts

106


Table of Contents

receivable was mostly attributed to our first engagement of a client which had a longer payment schedule practice. Such extension payment schedule impact our ability to collect these accounts receivables from this client. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was partially offset by an increase in net income and decreases in contract assets, which changed from RMB21.8 million outflow to RMB19.3 million (US$2.8 million) inflow, and prepaid expenses and other current assets, which changed from RMB24.8 million outflow to RMB58.7 million (US$8.5 million) inflow.

        Net cash provided by operating activities increased from RMB88.8 million in 2016 to RMB137.2 million in 2017 primarily due to the combined effect of increase in net income, and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Net income increased by RMB12.0 million from RMB97.6 million in 2016 to RMB109.6 million in 2017. Key changes in operating assets and liabilities that caused operating cash inflow include that the increase of accounts receivable decreased from RMB49.8 million in 2016 to RMB13.3 million in 2017, and that the increase of accrued expenses and other liabilities increased from RMB16.5 million in 2016 to RMB60.8 million in 2017.

Net Cash Used In Investing Activities

        Net cash used in investing activities decreased from RMB73.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 to RMB23.1 million (US$3.4 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was caused by significant decreases in advances to related parties and purchases of property and equipment. Advances to related parties decreased significantly from RMB44.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 to RMB200,000 (US$29,133) in the six months ended June 30, 2019. The purchase of property and equipment also decreased from RMB37.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 to RMB23.3 million (US$3.4 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2019.

        Net cash used in investing activities decreased from RMB105.8 million in 2017 to RMB102.1 million (US$14.9 million) in 2018. We did not purchase any additional land use right in 2018 as compared to spending RMB25.0 million for related purchases in 2017. Advances to related parties decreased from RMB80.3 million in 2017 to RMB66.2 million (US$9.6 million) in 2018, and collection of advances to a related party increased from RMB8.9 million in 2017 to RMB34.2 million (US$5.0 million) in 2018. These effects were offset by additional purchase of property and equipment which increased from RMB20.6 million in 2017 to RMB83.2 million (US$12.1 million) in 2018.

        Net cash used in investing activities decreased from RMB132.1 million in 2016 to RMB105.8 million in 2017 primarily due to a decrease in purchases of property and equipment from RMB81.2 million in 2016 to RMB20.6 million in 2017 as result of a decrease in property acquisition activities. The government also provided RMB11.2 million in subsidy related to the acquisition of our headquarters building in Changsha. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was partially offset by an increase in purchase of land use right in the amount of RMB25.0 million in 2017, and the increase in advanced funds to related parties from RMB45.7 million in 2016 to RMB80.3 million in 2017.

Net Cash Provided By (Used In) Financing Activities

        Net cash from financing activities increased from RMB8.7 million provided in the six months ended June 30, 2018 to RMB17.2 million (US$2.5 million) provided in the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to the RMB34.5 million (US$5.0 million) in bank loans that we received in the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities was partially offset by the absence of advances from related parties and increases in repayment of bank loans and payment for costs related to this offering in the six months ended June 30, 2019.

107


Table of Contents

        Net cash from financing activities changed from RMB31.5 million used in 2017 to RMB55.4 million (US$8.1 million) provided in 2018, primarily due to the combined effect of increased advances from related parties and significant decrease in repayment of bank loans. Advances from related parties increased from RMB25.2 million in 2017 to RMB73.2 million (US$10.7 million) in 2018. Repayment of bank loans decreased from RMB179.0 million in 2017 to RMB8.8 million (US$1.3 million) in 2018. The lack of payment for the acquisition of non-controlling interests, repayments of borrowings from related parties and insurance fee paid for obtaining bank loans in 2018 also contributed to the net cash provided by financing activities.

        Net cash from financing activities changed from RMB80.3 million provided in 2016 to RMB31.5 million used in 2017 primarily due to the combined effect of the RMB32.9 million payment we collected on behalf of a related party in 2017, the RMB97.5 million repayment of advanced funds from related parties in 2016, the decrease in proceeds from bank loans and increase in repayments of bank loans. Proceeds from bank loans decreased from RMB230.7 million in 2016 to RMB68.2 million in 2017. Repayment of bank loans increased from RMB87.4 million in 2016 to RMB179.0 million in 2017.

Holding Company Structure

        YX Asset Recovery Limited is a holding company with no material operations of its own. We conduct our operations primarily through our PRC subsidiary, our VIE and its subsidiaries in China. As a result, YX Asset Recovery Limited's ability to pay dividends depends upon dividends paid by our PRC subsidiary. If our existing PRC subsidiary or any newly formed ones incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing their debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends to us. In addition, our wholly foreign-owned subsidiaries in China are permitted to pay dividends to us only out of their retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Under PRC laws, each of our subsidiary and our VIE in China is required to set aside at least 10.0% of its

108


Table of Contents

after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund certain statutory reserve funds until such reserve funds reach 50.0% of its registered capital. In addition, each of our wholly foreign-owned subsidiaries in China may allocate a portion of its after-tax profits based on PRC accounting standards to enterprise expansion funds and staff bonus and welfare funds at its discretion, and our VIE may allocate a portion of their after-tax profits based on PRC accounting standards to a discretionary surplus fund at its discretion. The statutory reserve funds and the discretionary funds are not distributable as cash dividends. Remittance of dividends by a wholly foreign-owned company out of China is subject to examination by the banks designated by SAFE. Our PRC subsidiary has not paid dividends and will not be able to pay dividends until they generate accumulated profits and meet the requirements for statutory reserve funds.

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments and Arrangements

        We have not entered into any financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. In addition, we have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as shareholder's equity or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or product development services with us.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Foreign Exchange Risk

        Our revenues and expenses are denominated in Renminbi. Renminbi is not freely convertible into foreign currencies for capital account transactions. The value of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar and other currencies is affected by changes in China's political and economic conditions and by China's foreign exchange policies, among other things. In July 2005, the PRC government changed its decades-old policy of pegging the value of the Renminbi to the U.S. dollar, and the Renminbi appreciated more than 20.0% against the U.S. dollar over the following three years. Between July 2008 and June 2010, this appreciation subsided and the exchange rate between the Renminbi and the U.S. dollar remained within a narrow band. Since June 2010, the Renminbi has fluctuated against the U.S. dollar, at times significantly and unpredictably. On November 30, 2015, the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) completed the regular five-year review of the basket of currencies that make up the Special Drawing Right, or the SDR, and decided that with effect from October 1, 2016, Renminbi is determined to be a freely usable currency and will be included in the SDR basket as a fifth currency, along with the U.S. dollar, the Euro, the Japanese yen and the British pound. In the fourth quarter of 2016, the RMB depreciated significantly in the backdrop of a surging U.S. dollar and persistent capital outflows of China. It is difficult to predict how market forces or PRC or U.S. government policy may impact the exchange rate between the Renminbi and the U.S. dollar in the future.

        To date, we have not entered into any material hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk. To the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars we received from this offering into Renminbi for our operations or capital expenditures, appreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar would have an adverse effect on the Renminbi amount we would receive from the conversion. Conversely, if we decide to convert our Renminbi into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our ordinary shares or ADSs or for other business purposes, appreciation of the

109


Table of Contents

U.S. dollar against the Renminbi would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to us.

        We estimate that we will receive net proceeds of approximately US$              million from this offering if the underwriters do not exercise their option to purchase additional ADSs, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and the estimated offering expenses payable by us. Assuming that we convert the full amount of the net proceeds from this offering into Renminbi, a 10.0% appreciation of the U.S. dollar against Renminbi, from a rate of RMB             to US$1.00 as of             , 2019 to a rate of RMB             to US$1.00, will result in an increase of RMB              million in our net proceeds from this offering. Conversely, a 10.0% depreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Renminbi, from a rate of RMB              to US$1.00 as of             , 2019 to a rate of RMB             to US$1.00, will result in a decrease of RMB              million in our net proceeds from this offering.

Interest Rate Risk

        Our exposure to interest rate risk primarily relates to interest expenses under our loan agreements, which may bear a floating interest rate, and interest income generated by excess cash, which is mostly held in interest-bearing bank deposits. Interest expenses and interest-earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. We have not been exposed to material risks due to changes in interest rates, and we have not used any derivative financial instruments to manage our interest risk exposure. However, our future interest expenses may increase or interest income may fall short of expectations due to changes in market interest rates.

Inflation

        To date, inflation in the PRC has not materially impacted our results of operations. According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the year-over-year percent changes in the consumer price index for [December 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 were increases of 1.4%, 2.0%, 1.6% and 2.1%, respectively]. Although we have not been materially affected by inflation in the past, we can provide no assurance that we will not be affected in the future by higher rates of inflation in the PRC. For example, certain operating costs and expenses, such as employee compensation and office operating expenses may increase as a result of higher inflation. Additionally, because a substantial portion of our assets consists of cash, high inflation could significantly reduce the value and purchasing power of these assets. We are not able to hedge our exposure to higher inflation in China.

Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates

        An accounting policy is considered critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time such estimate is made, and if different accounting estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact the consolidated financial statements.

        We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions. We continually evaluate these estimates and assumptions based on the most recently available information, our own historical experiences and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from our expectations as a result of changes in

110


Table of Contents

our estimates. Some of our accounting policies require a higher degree of judgment than others in their application and require us to make significant accounting estimates.

        The following describes our critical accounting policy, judgments and estimates, which should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and other disclosures included in this prospectus. When reviewing our consolidated financial statements, you should consider our selection of critical accounting policy, the judgments and other uncertainties affecting the application of such policy and the sensitivity of reported results to changes in conditions and assumptions.

Revenue Recognition

        We have adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, since our establishment. Revenue is recognized when control over the service is transferred to the customer at the amount of promised consideration to which we are expected to be entitled.

        The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for transferring debt collection service to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of governmental authorities, such as value-added tax and other sales related taxes. The transaction price includes variable consideration where our performance may result in increased commission rates and/or full or partial return of the deposits originally placed with certain customers based on the achievement of agreed contractual milestones and performance targets. We estimate the transaction price at contract inception based on either the expected value method or the most likely outcome method, depending on which method we expect to better predict the amount of consideration to which we will be entitled in each contract. In making the estimate of variable consideration, we apply judgments which are inherently subjective. This includes the assessment of the estimated amount of successful debt collections based upon a number of factors such as the quality of debt of similar nature, workforce and their historical experience and performance. The amount of estimated variable consideration included in the transaction price is limited only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable condition is subsequently resolved. We review these estimates on a regular basis. Any changes in these factors could materially affect the estimated variable consideration and revenue recognized.

Share-based Compensation

        We account for share-based compensation following the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. We measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognize the cost over the period the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, which generally is the vesting period. For restricted shares granted with future service condition after the Company's IPO and the occurrence of an IPO as performance condition, share-based compensation expenses for the restricted shares, net of estimated forfeitures, will be recorded on a straight-line basis over the future service period upon the completion of the Company's IPO, provided that the cumulative amount of compensation cost recognized at any date at least equals the portion of the grant-date value of such award that is vested at that date. Forfeiture rates are estimated based on historical and future expectations of employee turnover rates.

        Employee Incentive Arrangement to 10 employees ("2018 Employee Plan")

        On October 18, 2018, Yong Xiong Group adopted a shareholders resolution approving an incentive arrangement, or the 2018 Employee Plan, pursuant to which Mr. Tan agreed to

111


Table of Contents

award 15% equity interests of Yong Xiong Group that he held, to certain employees ("Award Recipients") as share incentives in exchange for US$4.8 million which was calculated based on the carrying amount of net assets of Yong Xiong Group as of December 31, 2017. In connection with the reorganization, the 15% equity interests of Yong Xiong Group awarded to the employees will be replaced by the equivalent percentage of ordinary shares of the Company, upon the completion of the reorganization and the employees become a party to the VIE Agreements as nominee equityholders of Yong Xiong Group. In order to receive the share incentives granted by the founder, these employees established YuXiong Investment in British Virgin Islands in December 2018. In January, 2019, YX Management Holding Ltd. transferred 1,500,000 ordinary shares of the Company to YuXiong Investment.

        The shares under the 2018 Employee Plan will be vested at the end of the fifth anniversary after the Company's IPO. If any employee resigns from the Company for any reason before the fifth anniversary after the Company's IPO, Mr. Tan has the right to repurchase his/her awarded shares at original price. Since IPO is not deemed probable until it is effective, no compensation expense relating to the 2018 Employee Plan was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company will recognize compensation expenses in the amount of RMB201.9 million relating to the 2018 Employee Plan on a straight-line basis over a five-year period upon the completion of the Company's IPO.

        The estimated fair value of the underlying restricted shares of the Company on the grant date in the amount of RMB233.4 million in total, or RMB155.57 per share was determined based on a retrospective valuation conducted by an independent valuation firm. The Company first determined its enterprise value by using income approach, which required the estimation of future free cash flow, and the application of an appropriate discount rate of 18.47% with reference to comparable listed companies engaged in the similar industry to convert such future cash flows to a single present value. In addition, discount for lack of marketability, taking into consideration the plans for and status of the Company's proposed initial public offering of 8.19% was applied to arrive at the fair value of the restricted shares as of October 18, 2018.

        On May 20, 2019, a former employee who has been awarded 130,000 restricted shares of the Company held by Mr. Tan pursuant to the 2018 Employee Plan, resigned from the Company. Mr. Tan has decided not to repurchase from the employee the awarded shares at original price, according to the original vesting condition. It represents a modification of accelerating vesting that at the date of the modification, the award is not expected to vest under the original vesting condition. Hence, total compensation cost recognized is equal to the modified award's fair value at the date of the modification. Compensation cost of RMB26.5 million was recognized immediately as general and administrative expenses upon the modification.

        The estimated fair value of the underlying ordinary shares of the Company on the modification day in the amount of RMB29.2 million in total, or RMB224.88 per share, was determined by management based on a retrospective valuation conducted by an independent appraisal. The Company first determined its enterprise value by using income approach, which required the estimation of future free cash flow, and the application of an appropriate discount rate of 16.60% with reference to comparable listed companies engaged in the similar industry to convert such future cash flows to a single present value. Discount for lack of marketability, taking into consideration the plans for and status of the Company's proposed initial public offering and post-vesting condition of restricted share of 10.81% was applied to arrive at the fair value of the restricted shares as of May 20, 2019.

112


Table of Contents

        Discount rate for the valuation of our restricted shares on October 18, 2018 and May 20, 2019 was 18.47% and 16.60%, respectively. The decrease in discount rate of the Company was mainly due to (i) the decrease in size premium driven by our strong growth in scale, (ii) the optimization of our capital structure, and (iii) the improvement of market condition which results in lower systematic risk.

        The fair value of our restricted shares increased from RMB155.57 per share as of October 18, 2018 to RMB224.88 per share as of May 20, 2019. The increase in fair value was primarily attributable to our significant growth, as we (i) obtained a higher number of receivables under collection; (ii) expanded our customer base as we acquired new clients, particularly through our targeted expansion in the online consumer finance business; and (iii) expanded our geographic presence, through the opening of new operating centers in various cities in China.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

        Prior to this offering, we have been a private company with limited accounting personnel and other resources with which to address our internal control and procedures and we were never required to evaluate our internal control within a specified period, and, as a result, we may experience difficulty in meeting these reporting requirements in a timely manner. Our management has not completed an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, and our independent registered public accounting firm has not conducted an audit of our internal control over financial reporting. However, in the course of preparing and auditing our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018, we and our independent registered public accounting firm identified one material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018. In accordance with reporting requirements set forth by the SEC, a "material weakness" is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our company's annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

        The material weakness identified relates to the lack of sufficient financial reporting and accounting personnel to formalize and implement key controls over financial reporting process and to prepare, review and report financial information in accordance with U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements. Neither we nor our independent registered public accounting firm undertook a comprehensive assessment of our internal control under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for purposes of identifying and reporting any weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. We and they are required to do so only after we become a public company. Had we performed a formal assessment of our internal control over financial reporting or had our independent registered public accounting firm performed an audit of our internal control over financial reporting, additional control weaknesses may have been identified.

        To remedy our identified material weakness subsequent to December 31, 2018, we plan to undertake steps to strengthen our internal control over financial reporting, including: (i) hiring more qualified resources including financial controller, equipped with relevant U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting experience and qualifications to strengthen the financial reporting function and to set up a financial and system control framework, (ii) implementing regular and continuous U.S. GAAP accounting and financial reporting training programs for our accounting and financial reporting personnel, (iii) establishing effective oversight and clarifying reporting requirements for non-recurring and complex transactions to ensure consolidated financial statements and related disclosures are accurate, complete and in compliance with SEC

113


Table of Contents

reporting requirements, and (iv) enhancing an internal audit function as well as engaging an external consulting firm to help us assess our compliance readiness under rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act and improve overall internal control.

        However, we cannot assure you that we will remediate our material weakness in a timely manner.

        As a company with less than US$1.07 billion in revenue for our last fiscal year, we qualify as an "emerging growth company" pursuant to the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include exemption from the auditor attestation requirement under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, related to the assessment of the effectiveness of the emerging growth company's internal control over financial reporting. Under the JOBS Act, we also do not need to comply with any new or revised financial accounting standards until the date that private companies are required to do so.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

        In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), a new standard on revenue which will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605. The new standard, as amended, sets forth a single comprehensive model for recognizing and reporting revenues. The new guidance requires us to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance requires us to apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation. The standard also requires additional financial statement disclosures that will enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows relating to customer contracts. The standard is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. We have early adopted the standard since our establishment.

        In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. The standard is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods therein. For all other entities, ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. As we are an "emerging growth company," which elects to apply new and revised accounting standards at the effective date for a private company, we will adopt the new standard on January 1, 2021. We are in the process of evaluating the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

        In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The guidance in this ASU supersedes the leasing guidance in Topic 840, Leases. The new standard requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with

114


Table of Contents

terms longer than 12 months. Consistent with current GAAP (Topic 840), the recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a financing or operating lease. However, unlike current U.S. GAAP (Topic 840), which requires only capital leases to be recognized on the balance sheet, ASU 2016-02 will require both types of leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. As a result, lessees will be required to put most leases on their balance sheets while recognizing expense on their consolidated statements of income in a manner similar to current accounting. In addition, this guidance requires disclosures about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. ASU 2016-02 specifies a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the consolidated financial statements and that the new and enhanced disclosures be provided for each period presented (including comparative periods). On March 7, 2018, the FASB affirmed its proposed ASU, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which provides entities with an additional (and optional) transition method to adopt the new lease requirements by allowing entities to initially apply the requirements by recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The standard is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods therein. For all other entities, ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. As we are an "emerging growth company," which elects to apply new and revised accounting standards at the effective date for a private company, we will adopt the new standard on January 1, 2020. We are in the process of evaluating the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures, including the effect of certain optional practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance.

INDUSTRY

        The information presented in this section has been derived from an industry report commissioned by us and prepared by iResearch, an independent research firm, regarding our industry and our market position in China.

Consumer Credit Market in China

Overview

        The consumer credit market in China has experienced substantial growth in recent years due to a fast growing economy and an evolving consumer base. The government's effort to implement policies promoting consumption, consumption upgrades and the increasing popularity of consumer lending have in turn triggered the high growth of consumer lending.

    Government policies.    In recent years, the Chinese government promoted domestic consumption and spending as the major driving forces of economic growth. In 2018, domestic consumption and spending contributed to 76.2% of China's GDP growth and are projected to contribute up to 97.5% of China's GDP growth in 2022E.

    Consumption upgrade.    With the growth in disposable income, mass population has started to focus on improving their quality of life as demonstrated by their increasing demand for diverse consumer products and services.

    Popularity of consumer financing.    Different spending and payment methods such as credit card online consumer finance and consumption installments have emerged to support consumers' increasing demand for more diversified consumer goods. Demand for consumer financing has been increasing in the past few years.

        The consumer credit market in China mainly consists of traditional financial institutions such as commercial banks and non-traditional financial institutions such as online consumer finance companies. Consumer products offered by commercial banks mainly consist of credit cards, which has experienced rapid growth in the past few years given the proliferation of the retail banking sector in China. The outstanding balance of credit cards issued by commercial banks has been and is expected to be the fastest growing segment of the consumer credit market, according to iResearch. The total outstanding balance of the credit card market in China surged at a CAGR of 30.8% from RMB1.8 trillion at the end of 2013 to RMB6.9 trillion at the end of 2018, and it is estimated to continue to grow at a CAGR of 25.3% to reach RMB17.0 trillion by the end of 2022E, according to iResearch.

Table of Contents

        In addition, the credit card market in China is highly concentrated. According to iResearch, the outstanding balance of credit cards issued by the top 20 commercial banks accounted for approximately 93.8% of total outstanding balance of credit cards issued by all commercial banks in China in 2018.

Delinquent Consumer Receivables Market

        Delinquent consumer receivables refer to unpaid and past due financial obligations of consumers owed to credit originators, including banks, online consumer finance companies and other financial service providers. According to iResearch, the market size of delinquent consumer receivables in China has been and is expected to maintain a high growth rate.

        Outstanding balance of delinquent credit card receivables is the fastest growing segment given the increasing popularity of credit card usage for personal consumption expenditure. The increasing number of credit cards issued in recent years and the introduction of credit cards to less sophisticated borrowers contributed to the increase in delinquent credit card receivables. Total outstanding balance of delinquent credit card receivables has increased from RMB138.7 billion at the end of 2013 to RMB668.3 billion at the end of 2017 with a CAGR of 48.2%, and is projected to continue to grow at a CAGR of 25.2% to reach RMB2,057.0 billion by the end of 2022E.

Types of Delinquent Consumer Receivables

        Delinquent consumer receivables are divided into primary delinquent consumer receivables, or primary receivables, secondary delinquent consumer receivables, or secondary receivables, and tertiary delinquent consumer receivables, or tertiary receivables, depending on the length of time past due.

117


Table of Contents

        For delinquent consumer receivables that originated from traditional consumer finance instruments, such as credit card, primary receivables are receivables that are one to three months past due. Secondary receivables are within four to 12 months past due, and tertiary receivables are over 12 months past due or have been charged-off. For delinquent online receivables, primary receivables are within one to three months past due, secondary receivables are within four to six months past due, and tertiary receivables are over six months past due or have been charged-off.

        The tertiary receivables include not only the newly generated delinquent loan balance of the current year which has not been collected during primary and secondary collection stages, but also all outstanding loan balance that had not been recovered or that has already been charged-off over the previous years as well as their accumulated interest. The flow-on and multiplier effect of tertiary receivables lead to the high growth of the tertiary delinquent market.

China's Delinquent Consumer Receivables Recovery Market

Overview

        Delinquent consumer receivables are usually smaller in value per case but have a much larger number of cases compared to other types of delinquent receivables. According to iResearch, the average account value of delinquent credit card receivables is approximately RMB20,000 per case. A large percentage of delinquent consumer receivables are unsecured, limiting commercial banks and online consumer finance companies' recourse to collection efforts against debtors in the event of default. With respect to delinquent consumer receivables, commercial banks and online consumer finance companies usually impose life-time payment obligation on the debtors. Commercial banks and online consumer finance companies have limited resource to conduct internal collection. However, they are required to reduce delinquency in order to meet regulatory requirements and business viability. As a result, commercial banks and online consumer finance companies are motivated to outsource delinquent consumer receivables which their internal collection efforts fail to collect to third-party service providers.

        China's delinquent consumer receivables recovery market is in its early stage of development, compared to more mature markets such as that of the United States and has experienced a high rate of growth since 2013. Total revenue generated by China's delinquent consumer receivables recovery market grew at a CAGR of 48.5% from 2013 to 2017, compared to a CAGR of 2.9% in the U.S. market during the same period. At the same time, the market share of the top three service providers, as measured by total revenue, was 4.3% for China's market, compared with 28.6% for the U.S. market in 2017. Major market participants in China have significant growth opportunities through consolidation of the fragmented market shares by using their reputable brand name, strong relationship with financial institutions and sufficient resources, such as human and capital resources.

The Collection Rate and Commission Rate of Different Types of Delinquent Consumer Receivables

        In the receivable recovery industry, the monthly weighted average collection rate of the consumer receivables correlates strongly with the past due period. At the same time, the commission rate is based on the length of time receivables are past due. The industry average collection rate and commission rate for delinquent credit card receivables are shown in the following table:

As a result, the commission rate for tertiary receivables are significantly higher than the commission rate is for primary and secondary receivables. According to iResearch, commission as a percentage of the amount collected can be over 40% for tertiary receivables, which is higher than that of primary and secondary receivables. With the growing market scale and higher commission rate of tertiary receivables, Revenues generated from tertiary receivables by delinquent receivables collection service providers to grow at a faster rate than those from primary and secondary receivables.

These requirements are put in place to protect the authenticity and compliance of the collection process since any violation of industry standard practices and regulations can taint commercial banks and online consumer finance companies' reputation and increase their regulatory risks. As a result, only reputable service providers with scale and established track records are likely to be able to form stable and long-term relationships with commercial banks and online consumer finance companies.

        Key factors for success in the tertiary receivable recovery market include (i) reputable brand name to maintain long-term cooperation with commercial banks and online consumer finance companies; (ii) sizable scale of operations enabled by centralized management and large collection specialist teams; (iii) professional and standardized operations in compliance with relevant rules and regulations; (iv) use of technology such as big data information recovery, electronic claims, electronic analysis and continuous training to reduce human capital costs; and (v) cultivation of professional employees.

Key Development In Industry Trends

        The increasing credit need of consumers in China, coupled with the low penetration of traditional financial institutions serving consumer's credit need, has generated considerable opportunities for online consumer finance platforms in China. Online consumer finance companies in China have undergone substantial expansion in recent years with total outstanding balance of online receivables growing at a CAGR of 94.0% from RMB46.4 billion at the end of 2013 to RMB1,273.9 billion at the end of 2018. With the proliferation of online consumer finance balance, tertiary delinquent consumer receivables generated by online consumer finance companies have also grown in scale and reached RMB38.7 billion by the end of 2018 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 32.8% to reach RMB120.2 billion at the end of 2022. The need for third party delinquent collection service providers is more prevalent for online consumer finance companies as they usually lack a large internal collection team and have shorter charge-off periods (usually 6 months). Top credit card tertiary receivable collection service providers have a natural advantage in competing in the online receivable collection market due to their accumulated industry know-how and stringent compliance measures. They are preferred by major online consumer finance platforms who are usually the financial arms of China's largest internet giants due to their high compliance standards and reputable brand names.

BUSINESS

Our Mission

        To be a pioneer in institutionalizing a transparent Chinese consumer credit recovery industry by helping borrowers rebuild credit, maximizing financial institutions' recovery and nurturing a new generation of talent.

Overview

        We are a leading business service provider of delinquent consumer debt collection in China. We believe that delinquent consumer debt collection is crucial to the maintenance of a sound financial environment because debt collection is a mechanism to establish principles and rules governing consumer lending, and facilitates the restoration of credit of the debtors and the establishment of a society built on credit. According to iResearch, we are the largest provider of delinquent credit card receivables recovery service in the PRC in terms of total value of receivables under collection and number of collection specialists employed as of June 30, 2019, and total commission for the six months ended June 30, 2019. We offer nation-wide consumer debt collection services. We collect delinquent consumer receivables such as credit card receivables originated by commercial banks, and online receivables originated by online consumer finance companies. For the six month period ended June 30, 2019, we serviced seven of the top 10 commercial banks as measured by outstanding balance of credit cards in China in 2018, and reputable online consumer finance companies in China. Our clients engage us to collect delinquent consumer receivables and we primarily generate commission-based fees based on our collection success. Our industry expertise, operation scale, innovative approach and IT infrastructure allow us to offer our clients a cost-effective and trustworthy solution to recover delinquent consumer receivables. We intend to continue to leverage our strengths and grow our business through our disciplined approach, which has contributed to our growth and success to-date.

        We focus on the collection of tertiary receivables. According to iResearch, we outperformed by a large margin all other service providers in the PRC tertiary receivables recovery market in terms of total value of receivables under collection and number of collection specialists employed as of June 30, 2019, and total commission for the six months June 30, 2019. The commission rate for the collection of tertiary receivables is typically higher than that of fresher receivables, which includes primary and secondary receivables, because (i) tertiary receivables are past due for a longer period of time, and thus are more difficult to collect compared to fresher receivables; and (ii) tertiary receivables may also have been charged off by the lender and therefore any amount we collect generates additional income for the clients. In most cases, prior to engaging us, our clients had unsuccessfully attempted to collect these delinquent consumer receivables through their in-house collection teams and other service providers. In 2017, 2018 and for the six months ended June 30 2019, we derived 96.6%, 80.5% and 72.3% of our revenues from our credit card receivables collection services, respectively, and 3.1%, 19.5% and 27.7% from online receivables, respectively.

        Our remote collection approach and centralized management contribute to our overall success. According to iResearch, we are one of the pioneers in the industry as we provide collection services solely by remote means, such as telephone and text messages, or remote collection, without on-site visit or face-to-face negotiation with debtors. We purposefully do not engage in face-to-face interaction to avoid potential physical confrontation with debtors, control compliance-related risks, streamline and standardize the collection process, and increase collection efficiency. Our quality assurance team leverages our technology and IT system to better monitor the conduct of our collection specialists during the collection

process. For example, our operating portal records all telephone conversations with debtors, and our intelligent speech recognition system transcribes these recordings into text for our quality assurance team to review internally in accordance with our quality assurance protocol. In addition, we coordinate and manage all client engagements and collection assignment allocations centrally through our Changsha headquarters as part of an integrated and centralized operation management system, or centralized management. We have 34 operating centers located in 29 cities across China. Our proprietary operating portal automatically and centrally assigns and adjusts collection tasks to collection specialists at headquarters and other operating centers monthly following its pre-set distribution rules considering factors such as the performance and current workload of a particular collection specialist and the value and difficulty of the collection tasks. We believe our centralized management allows us to consolidate marketing efforts, standardize the collection process and monitor quality compliance of thousands of our collection specialists. We believe our centralized management enables us to expand rapidly and efficiently while maintaining our service quality.

        We are committed to maintaining and upgrading our technological advances. We focus on building our technology platform, which is supported by our proprietary customer database. Our integrated platform and information technology ensure efficient data mapping and robust reporting capabilities to generate continuously improving collection results. For example, our proprietary information technology system, or operating portal, supports core processing and analytics functions of our business under a set of integrated databases and is designed to be both replicable and scalable to accommodate our organic growth. Our system is also configured with multiple layers of security modules, as part of our overall data privacy and security program, to protect our database from unauthorized access.

        We believe the expertise of our collection team is critical to the success of our business. Our experience is that the tenure and the productivity of our collection specialists are positively correlated to our performance. Experienced collection specialists are critical in conducting skip tracing and negotiation with debtors. As a result, we place considerable focus on the attracting, nurturing, retaining and motivating of our collection team by providing mentorship, continued education and promotion track based on performance. In addition, we employ a performance monitoring system to monitor our collection specialists' activities and set daily minimum performance standards, which is linked to our compensation structure based on performance. We expect continued improvement in productivity and profitability as our collection specialists accumulate experience over time. As of June 30, 2019, we had 10,915 full time collection specialists in our operating centers located in 29 cities in China, which constituted 95.0% of our employees. The full time collection specialists include 1,109 senior collection specialists who have years of experience and are qualified to conduct direct negotiation with debtors. Monthly average amount collected per collection specialist reached RMB27,385 (US$3,989) for the six months ended June 30, 2019, which was 27.5% higher than that for the corresponding period in 2018.

        Mr. Tan, our founder, has more than 15 years of experience in collecting delinquent consumer receivables. Mr. Tan has utilized his backgrounds in law and entrepreneurship to lead our business operation. Mr. Tan also devoted his expertise and resources to the development of legislation, industry standards, as well as education in the area of delinquent consumer receivables recovery.

Our Competitive Strengths

        We believe that the following competitive strengths contribute to our success and differentiate us from our competitors.

Industry-leading position and strong relationships with major consumer credit originators

        We are a leading business service provider of delinquent consumer debt collection in China. According to iResearch, we are the largest provider of delinquent credit card receivables recovery service in the PRC in terms of total value of receivables under collection, total commission during the six months ended June 30, 2019, and number of collection specialists employed as of June 30, 2019. We have the largest market shares of 8.9% of the total value of tertiary receivables under collection and 16.6% of the total amount collected for the six months ended June 30, 2019, which was more than four and two times of the market share of the second largest service provider within the corresponding period, respectively.

        According to iResearch, the market for tertiary credit card receivables collection service in the PRC is expected to grow from RMB274.0 billion (US$39.9 billion) to RMB1,072.2 billion (US$15.6 billion) from 2018 to 2022 in terms of outstanding balance of receivables under collection, representing a projected CAGR of 40.6%. As the market leader, we are well

126


Table of Contents

positioned to capture the growth potential of the industry. From 2017 to 2018, the total number of cases we were engaged to collect grew from approximately 2.4 million to 5.4 million, and reached 5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. We believe the accumulation of experience and expertise over time enables continuous effectiveness and efficiency improvement of our service. This virtuous cycle has allowed us to increase our market share over time and we believe makes it increasingly difficult for competitors to replicate our success.

        We provide our nation-wide delinquent consumer receivables collection services to many of the leading consumer lenders in China. For the six month period ended June 30, 2019, we serviced seven of the top 10 commercial banks as measured by outstanding balance of credit cards in China in 2018 for the collection of credit card receivables. In addition, we collaborate with reputable online consumer finance companies for the collection of online receivables. Most of these online consumer finance companies are financial arms of certain Chinese conglomerates and the largest internet giants. From our clients' perspective, any violation of industry standard practices and regulations can taint their reputation and increase their regulatory risks. Therefore, our clients, especially commercial banks, often apply rigorous criteria when selecting collection agencies. We are shortlisted by several PRC commercial banks as their preferred service provider and are their trusted business partner in improving the delinquency rate of their consumer receivables. Our strong relationships with consumer lenders are based on our business reputation, industry experience, scale of business operation, geographic reach, infrastructure, and commitment to compliance and data security. The combination of these elements serves as entry barriers for the tertiary receivables market segment as most of our competitors have more regional operations and lack these qualifications to engage and develop long-term relationships with major consumer lenders such as commercial banks.

Advanced know-how and proven track record in an emerging industry

        China's delinquent consumer receivables recovery market is still in the early stage of development and is highly fragmented compared to countries such as the United States, which is a more mature market. Together with the overall growth of delinquent consumer receivables, the value of tertiary receivables in China is outgrowing exponentially that of fresher receivables due to flow-on effect and multiplier effect as fresher receivables age and accrue overdue interest. Due to their longer delinquency period and lower probability of collection, tertiary receivables are generally more difficult to collect than fresher receivables. The collection of tertiary receivables requires specific know-hows in skip tracing and negotiation expertise. We believe our clientele, expertise, and reputation allow us to maintain a leading position in the tertiary receivables market segment.

        We have sophisticated industry insight and business expertise that are well demonstrated by our service record. We achieved strong collection results, with total amount collected grew from RMB1.4 billion in 2017 to RMB2.1 billion (US$305.9 million) in 2018, representing a growth of 43.1%. We use our proprietary analytical processes coupled with the experience gained through massive receivable collection cases we serviced from 2017 to June 30, 2019 to provide customized solutions to our clients. For the year ended Dec 31, 2018 and six months ended June 30, 2019, the total number of cases we were engaged to collect were 5.4 million and 5.1 million, respectively.

        We have also been operating in compliance with relevant laws and regulations and our clients' compliance policies. We developed an Employee Code of Conduct and a Quality Assurance Management Plan, and we require all of our employees to strictly comply with these compliance policies and laws and regulations. In addition, we established separate

127


Table of Contents

departments for quality inspection, supervision, security and legal compliance to control all phases of the collection process. As a result, we have maintained a low complaint rate, at 0.11% for the six months ended June 30, 2019. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not been involved in any material litigation regarding our collection practice.

Innovative collection process supported by proprietary IT systems and infrastructure

        Our innovative collection process is characterized by centralized management and nation-wide remote collection. We coordinate and manage all client engagements and collection assignment allocations centrally through our Changsha headquarters, while we have 34 operating centers located in 29 cities across China primarily to carry out our collection activities. Our standardized operating procedures enable us to provide collection service solely through telephone and text messages without any geographical limitation, and we utilize an integrated and centralized operation management system to coordinate substantially all client engagements and collection assignment allocations. Our centralized management differentiates us from the localized practice of most of our competitors, through which their local operating centers independently engage local clients and only collect consumer receivables from these local clients. We, on the other hand, offer nation-wide collection service and further distribute collection assignments to our operating centers and collection specialists across China based on our pre-set distribution rules without over-emphasizing geographic location.

        We devote significant effort to standardize and improve our collection process in order to optimize our collection results through developing our proprietary IT system and infrastructure. Our operating portal meets all of our client's security and safety requirements, processes large volumes of debtor and receivable information, ensures compliance and information security and is designed to be scalable to support the expansion of our business operations. As of June 30, 2019, we owned 56 computer software copyrights and 10 patents. We established statistical models and proprietary algorithms as part of our operating portal to streamline our collection process and created various integrated modules to facilitate an efficient, compliant and intelligent operation. Our AI-based relationship mapping function identifies a new debtor's link to existing debtors, guarantors and contact persons in the database we are authorized to use. Our AI-based debtor profiling function generates analytical profiles that evaluate the debtors' payment ability, willingness to pay and viable payment plans to recommend a negotiation strategy to our collection specialists. In cases where sufficient information has been made available to us, our AI-based receivables evaluation model utilizes our proprietary algorithm to analyze the collectability of target receivables and recommends bidding terms we would offer to our clients. Our intelligent speech recognition system transcribes our collection specialists' telephone conversations with debtors into text for our quality control team to review. As a result of our technological advancement and our overall increase in efficiency, our MARC reached RMB29.6 billion and RMB46.3 billion (US$6.7 billion) for the year ended December 31, 2018 and for the six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, representing a growth of 98.2% and 116.1% compared to the year ended December 31, 2017 and the corresponding period in 2018, respectively; our monthly average amount collected per collection specialist reached RMB24,688 and RMB27,385(US$3,989), respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the six months ended June 30, 2019, which was 25.4% and 27.5% higher compared to the year ended December 31, 2017 and the corresponding period in 2018, respectively.

Strong team of collection specialists with a unique team structure

        We place considerable focus on attracting, nurturing, retaining and motivating our team of collection specialists. According to iResearch, we had the largest number of collection specialists among delinquent consumer receivables collection service providers in China in 2018. We provide multi-stage training and mentorship programs for our newly recruited collection specialists and continuing education programs for experienced collection specialists. We maintain an efficient and sophisticated work specialization system to better utilize our collection specialists' expertise. We divide our collection specialists into approximately 272 work groups, each of which focuses on one particular client at a time. Collection specialists in each team are assigned to focus on different stages of the collection process ranging from information collection, data analysis to borrower negotiation. We believe such system allows our collection specialists to quickly familiarize each client's collection requirements and become experts in the collection process. This unique team structure allows for a clear division of labor that focuses on analytical ground work and collaboration across different stages to significantly improve our collection efficiency. We also offer ample opportunities of upward mobility to our collection specialists, including unlimited incentive bonuses and fast promotion track based on their performance. We offer employees competitive salaries, performance-based cash bonuses and other incentives.

        We also employ a performance monitoring system to monitor our collection specialists' activities and set daily minimum performance standards. This system assigns a performance score to each collection specialist based on factors such as the amount collected, quality and compliance-related performance, work logs and call time data. We believe that this system helps us identify and train low performers, reward high performers, and ultimately achieve high levels of work quality for our clients. This performance monitoring system is also linked to our compensation structure to provide an open and transparent compensation system to reward our employees based on their performance.

        We believe our significantly higher number of experienced collection specialists compared to our competitors, our large number of high-quality employees, and our performance monitoring system enable us to manage larger portfolios from credit originators with more efficiency. Our clients are also attracted to us due to our capacity to handle a large number of cases. Our ability to hire, develop and retain a strong collection team is critical to our continued growth and profitability, and creates a strong competitive advantage over other smaller delinquent consumer receivables collection agencies.

Visionary and experienced leadership backed by a strong team of talent

        We expect to continue to strengthen our big data application capability and upgrade our IT system for AI compatibility and functionality. We aim to extract greater use of the industry data and debtor information by strengthening our big data processing capabilities and applications to our collection work. In addition, we are developing a skip tracing application which can continuously gather and process publicly-available information to feed into our debtor profiling database in order to further enhance our collection activities, such as the gathering of information related to actions against the debtors. We believe the continued utilization of our big data platform forms the basis for more analytical and AI application that can improve employee productivity, receivables portfolio pricing efficiency and overall financial performance. We will continue to upgrade and fine-tune our model and algorithm based on big data to establish more accurate connections between debtor profiles or factors and the probability of recovery. We hope to continue both in-house development and external acquisition of technology to better utilize our technical know-how in the delinquent consumer receivables recovery industry to provide better collection results.

        On May 24, 2018, we entered into a big data service agreement with China United Network Communication Group Co., Ltd., or China Unicom, which is one of the largest telecommunication companies in China. Under such contract, China Unicom provides us with a special platform accessible from our operating portal, through which our collection specialists can enter the personal identification number of the debtor, and the platform can automatically call the debtor using the current contact information stored in China Unicom's databases. The collection specialist will not have access to the real contact information of such debtor. We believe this will improve our collection efficiency by enhancing our skip-tracing and information collection capability.

Broaden our industry participation and service offerings

        We believe our successful tertiary receivables collection business can serve as a foundation to broaden our industry participation and service offering. We expect to expand our business to offer credit originators a complete outsourced solution for all stages of delinquent consumer receivables. We also expect to expand our business beyond the collection of consumer receivables by offering our services for the collection for non-consumer receivables. With our expertise and success in the more challenging tertiary

receivables recovery market, we believe that we are more likely to succeed in other stages and areas of the delinquent consumer receivables recovery market than vice versa. Our goal is to be a comprehensive recovery solution provider for all delinquent receivables to our clients.

        Avenue, one of our pre-IPO investors and shareholders, is a seasoned strategic investor specialized in dealing in distressed debts. Currently, Avenue primarily invests in institutional receivables in Asia and is seeking to enter into the delinquent consumer receivables market through partnership with local collection service provider. We believe our partnership with Avenue will create synergies through the leveraging of our expertise in collection of delinquent consumer receivables and Avenue's rich market experience in investment in distressed debt.

        In addition to providing comprehensive collection services for all stages of delinquent consumer receivables, we are currently exploring opportunities to expand our business, in the long term, into the financial non-performing asset portfolio management industry in which we acquire delinquent consumer receivables portfolios for our own collection. We believe that portfolio acquisition can be more profitable than our collection services. Currently, the PRC government does not allow financial institutions to transfer delinquent credit card receivables. In the event that the regulatory environment changes to permit the acquisition of delinquent credit card receivables from financial institutions by collection service providers for their own collection, we believe, with our expertise and experience in the collection of delinquent consumer receivables, we are in the best position to capture such opportunity to further expand our business into the consumer non-performing asset management markets.

Strengthen cooperation with major credit originators and diversify our business

        As of the date of this prospectus, our business focuses mostly on the provision of delinquent credit card receivables collection services to major commercial banks in China, who have become our long-term major clients. We also provide online receivables collection services to online consumer finance companies. The consumer finance market in China has expanded rapidly in the past three years, which we believe presents a business opportunity for us to leverage our collection expertise and experience to expand our client base further.

        We expect to continue to deepen our business collaboration and diversify our operation by (i) developing online receivables collection services with existing and potential online consumer finance companies and (ii) launching an external interface, which enables our clients to initiate engagements, upload portfolio information and monitor collection status, and simplifies the overall engagement process with lowered costs and improved efficiency for us to develop potential clients.

Our Services

Business Model

        We provide delinquent consumer debt collection services to our clients by leveraging an experienced collection team, standardized remote collection process, centralized management and proprietary IT infrastructure. We focus on the collection of tertiary receivables, including credit card receivables that are past due for more than 12 months or are charged-off and online receivables that are past due for more than six months or are charged-off. These delinquent consumer receivables usually have been subjected to multiple unsuccessful collection efforts by our clients' in-house collection teams or other collection service providers. We have expanded our business into collection of primary and secondary receivables since the six months ended December 31, 2018, to meet the needs of our clients.

131


Table of Contents

        Our clients engage us to collect, on their behalf, delinquent consumer receivables on a portfolio basis, or portfolio collection, or under a general engagement, or general collection. Our credit card receivables collection are conducted through both portfolio collection and general collection, while all of our online receivables collection are conducted through general collection.

        The determination of commission fees is generally based on the quality of the delinquent consumer receivables, which generally include the number of prior collection attempts, the ratio between principal and interest, the geographic location of debtors, the amount of deposit required and the delinquency period. For example, tertiary receivables, which usually have been subjected to multiple unsuccessful collection efforts by our clients' in-house collection teams or other collection service providers, generally have a higher proportion of the receivables in interest compared to principal due to the longer period of time past due, a lower probability of collection and therefore, command a higher commission fee compared to primary and secondary receivables. The clients typically pay us a commission fee based on the amount we collect from the debtor and the upfront deposit arrangement. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the effective commission rate we receive averages approximately 35% of the delinquent consumer receivables collected.

        Our collection specialists are organized based on specific areas of expertise and levels of seniority. Our team is structured to maximize our collection efficiency. Our collection specialists are organized by work groups based on client coverage, with each work group under the supervision of several senior specialists, who in turn report to a single senior manager responsible for the work group. We have approximately 272 work groups as of June 30, 2019. Collection specialists in each team are assigned to focus on different stages of the collection process, which is a key differentiator compared to our competitors. As a result, such system allows our collection specialists to quickly familiarize with each client's collection requirements and become experts in the collection process. Our monthly weighted average collection rate was approximately 0.69%, 0.60% and 0.56% in 2017, 2018 and for the six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. Our monthly average amount collected per collection specialist was approximately RMB24,688 and RMB27,385 (US$3,989) in 2018 and for the six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, representing an increase of 25.4% and 27.5% compared to 2017 and the corresponding period in 2018, respectively.

        To maintain our industry leading position and competitive advantage, we monitor our performance during certain periods of time using several operational data, including the monthly average delinquent consumer receivables under collection, total amount collected, monthly average amount collected per collection specialist, monthly average commission earned per collection specialist, monthly weighted average collection rate, and effective commission rate.

    Our monthly average delinquent consumer receivables under collection, or MARC, represents the average monthly amount of delinquent consumer receivables under our collection for a set period of time, which indicates the scale of our delinquent consumer receivables collection business. Monthly average delinquent consumer receivables under collection is calculated pursuant to the following formula:

    Our total amount collected during the assigned period, represents the total value of receivables we collected during the set period of time, which indicates our business scale and collection capability.

    Our monthly average amount collected per collection specialist, calculates the average amount collected by each of our collection specialists on an average per month basis during a set period of time, which indicates the collection capability of our collection specialists.

    Our monthly average commission earned per collection specialist, calculates the average amount of commissions earned by each of our collection specialists on an

      average per month basis during a set period of time, which indicates the revenue generating capability of our collection specialists.

    Our monthly weighted average collection rate represents our average monthly collection rate during a set period of time on a weighted average basis, which indicates our collection capability. Monthly weighted average collection rate is calculated pursuant to the following steps:

    (1)
    We first calculate the monthly average collection rate for each batch or portfolio of receivables pursuant to the following formula:
  GRAPHIC
  C   =   the total amount collected during the assigned collection period within a specific year (disregarding the value of receivables collected during the assigned collection period but in the next year(s), if the assigned collection period spans over years).

the cumulative (or in the case of portfolio collection, the total) value of receivables assigned for collection.

 

N

the number of months we performed collection work in a specific year within the assigned collection period.
      (2)
      We then weigh the monthly average collection rate for all batches or portfolios completed within a specific year with their respective proportion to the total value of delinquent consumer receivables assigned for collection during the same year.

    Our effective commission rate represents our commission rate for a set period of time excluding non-refundable deposits paid to our clients, which indicates the profitability of our collection service business. Effective commission rate is calculated pursuant to the following formula:
  GRAPHIC
  I   =   total commission received during a specific period of time.

 

D

the total value of non-refundable deposits we paid on the receivables that we collected.

 

G

the total value of receivables collected during the same period of time.

        In 2018, our MARC was RMB24.4 billion (US$3.6 billion) for tertiary receivables and RMB5.3 billion (US$772.0 million) for primary and secondary receivables, and our effective commission rate was 41.3% for tertiary receivables, and 21.0% for primary and secondary receivables. In 2018, our monthly weighted average collection rate for tertiary receivables was 0.6% compared to the market rate of 0.4%. Our effective commission rate slightly decreased to 35.3% in the six months ended June 30, 2019, due to the fact that the overall period of delinquency of tertiary receivables we collected generally decreased in the six months ended June 30, 2019 and we took on more primary and secondary collection service business which typically have a lower commission rate.

Engagement

        We obtain engagements for collection services from our clients either through a bidding process or by direct engagement. Substantially all engagements are coordinated and executed centrally. Engagements for portfolio collections are generally obtained through a bidding process, while engagements for general collections are usually obtained on an individual basis after service providers are shortlisted in the clients' panels of trusted service providers. In 2017, 2018 and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, our MARC for tertiary

134


Table of Contents

receivables was RMB5.5 billion, RMB8.0 billion (US$1.2 billion) and RMB1.6 billion (US$233.1 million) for portfolio collection and RMB9.3 billion, RMB16.4 billion (US$2.4 billion) and RMB41.3 billion (US$6.0 billion) for general collection, respectively.

        Portfolio Collection: Portfolio collection occurs when commercial banks engage us to collect delinquent consumer receivables that are aggregated into a portfolio. The total value of such a portfolio is typically over RMB500 million. The delinquent consumer receivables subject to portfolio collection are often overdue for more than 24 months and are charged off by our clients. The portfolio collection term is usually set for a fixed period, typically in a range of three to 24 months. We evaluate a portfolio based on a number of factors, including receivables size and debtor demographics, prior attempts made by clients internally or through service providers, any specific requirement such as a baseline guaranteed collection rate and required deposit rate, and our calculation of the projected collectability. We leverage our proprietary analytical model to analyze the data we gathered from past bidding processes and collection processes in order for us to make more accurate evaluations.

        There are generally three types of portfolio collection:

    No Deposit:  We are not required to pay a deposit for this type of portfolio collection, but we are required to guarantee a minimal collection rate, or agree to receive commission or reward until we reach certain performance target, i.e., certain amount collected, and we will only receive commission on the collection with such minimum target amount collected deducted. The commission for this type of portfolio collection is paid over a certain period of time when certain performance targets are achieved. If we do not achieve the guaranteed collection rate or value, we are not entitled to receive any commission. For some clients, we may need to make up the difference between the minimum value guaranteed and the value we actually collected.

    Refundable Deposit:  We are required to pay a refundable deposit for this type of portfolio collection upon engagement. If we achieve a certain minimum collection rate, the clients would refund the deposit at the end of the collection period.

    Non-Refundable Deposit:  We are required to pay a non-refundable deposit for this type of portfolio collection upon engagement, which serves as a minimal collection for the client. We are entitled to keep the entire amount collected under this arrangement. The number of non-refundable deposit portfolio collection cases that we collect decreases gradually. As of June 30, 2019, we do not have any such cases.

        General Collection:    Before we enter into a general collection arrangement, we consider and negotiate the total receivables value and the commission rate. There are two models under general collection: assignment model and scramble model.

    Assignment Model:  Under the assignment model, our clients assign a certain number of delinquent consumer receivables for collection to us on regular basis which is generally three months. The assignment of the receivables is based on our direct business development communications for first-time clients and prior service performances and business interactions for existing clients, which typically include elements such as the total value of receivables that we agree to collect and the commission rate.

    Scramble Model:  Under the scramble model, a client places its delinquent consumer receivables for collection in a pool and invites us and other qualified service providers to participate in an online real-time "scramble" process to obtain exclusive rights to collect on certain delinquent consumer receivables within a certain collection period. Each service provider is entitled to obtain exclusive collection right to a maximum value

135


Table of Contents

      of delinquent consumer receivables from the pool. The value is determined and updated monthly by the client based on historical collection results and business relationships, which is positively correlated to the value of delinquent consumer receivables that a qualified service provider like us can successfully collect. Therefore, we purposefully obtain a fair share of receivables from each client's pool every month in order to maintain our presence among prominent clients. Depending on our workload from portfolio collections and the assignment model, we have the flexibility to adjust the number of work groups we assign to participate in the "scramble" model each month to optimize our utilization of human resources. Previously selected receivables are returned to the pool once the exclusive period expires, which is usually up to three months. Once a receivable is returned to the pool, it becomes available to be selected by other service providers or us again.

        Our scope of service currently does not include initiating lawsuits against debtors on behalf of the client.

Collection Process

        We rely on our operating portal to navigate through the collection process. The following is an overview of our collection process:

GRAPHIC


(1)
Filters the telephone numbers of the debtors on the record and screens out the ones that are no longer active.

(2)
Conducts debtor profiling through our proprietary analytical model to make a preliminary evaluation on the debtors' willingness to repay the debtor.

137


Table of Contents

(3)
We assign the cases to collection specialists through our operating portal based on the value of receivables, the numbers of cases and debtor profiles.

(4)
Each collection specialist performs skip tracing through a series of online / offline public channels, as well as a series of proprietary skip tracing applications in our operation portal, based on information such as household information, registered telephone numbers, registered emails or other contact information, and related personnel information.

(5)
Our operating portal can cross-map all newly-engaged debtors with our database to cross check any available information related to previous repayment record or repayment obligations between the debtors and any of our clients.

(6)
Collaborate with China Unicom to build a platform accessible from our operating portal that allows us to contact the debtors without being able to access the real contact information of such debtor.

(7)
Develop an effective debtor profile to facilitate more efficient negotiation by our collection specialists.

(8)
Successfully connect with the debtors to notify their repayment obligations.

(9)
We inform the debtor through telephone call or text messages about our identity, our relationship with our clients, his / her repayment obligations and the benefits of resolving his or her account fully and promptly during the initial contact. We also discuss the reason for the debtor's delinquency and his / her latest financial status in order to better assess the debtor's ability to repay.

(10)
We propose certain payment plans, such as installment plans, partial debt waiver and other arrangements, suitable for the debtor as approved by the client.

(11)
We also conduct analysis on the reason why the collection is unsuccessful, and retain and analyze this information for our improvement.

(12)
If a certain collection specialist fails to collect the receivables within one month after a case is assigned to him/her, we will re-assign such case to another collection specialist, and the process repeats until the expiration of the collection period.

(13)
For debts successfully collected, our clients usually require debtors' payments be made directly to them. Once the clients receive the debtors' payments, they will usually notify us. We bill our clients by the end of each month for our collection services.

Our Clients and Client Relationship

        For the six month period ended June 30, 2019, we serviced seven of the top 10 commercial banks as measured by outstanding balance of credit cards in China in 2018 and certain large online consumer finance companies in China. We believe that we have earned a reputation as a reliable and responsible provider of collection services for delinquent consumer receivables, particularly in tertiary receivables collection.

        Historically, our major clients varied from period to period. Our top five clients as measured by revenue generated during each period, in aggregate provided, 99.2%, 90.2% and 79.2% of our revenues in 2017, 2018 and for the six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. In 2017, 2018 and for the six months ended June, 30 2019, we derived 96.6%, 80.5% and 72.3% of our revenues from our credit card receivables collection services, respectively, and 3.1%, 19.5% and 27.7% from online receivables, respectively. Our clients, especially commercial banks, are very selective in choosing collection agencies and usually maintain a list of preferred agencies that are selected from an annual bidding process. Our clients typically require the collection agencies to meet certain qualifications, such as having substantial prior experience servicing multiple clients, a minimum number of collection specialists, prior collection performance and a proprietary IT infrastructure. We are shortlisted by several PRC banks as their preferred service provider and are their trusted business partner in improving the recovery rate of their delinquent consumer receivables.

        We enter into collection service contracts with our clients that define, among other things, fee arrangements, scope of services and termination provisions. Generally, the collection

138


Table of Contents

service contracts are non-exclusive, which means that the client may engage a number of service providers at the same time. However, while the delinquent consumer receivables are assigned to us or obtained through the scramble process, we have the exclusive right to collect these receivables within the collection period provided under our collection service agreement or any placement assignment underlying the collection service agreement.

        From our clients' perspective, any violation of industry standard practices and regulations can significantly taint their reputation and increase their regulatory risks. Therefore, our clients, especially commercial banks, are highly selective with respect to which collection agencies may be chosen for receivables recovery assignments and handling of debtor information. As a result, the clients would prefer to form a stable and long-term business relationship with collection agencies with good track records. Under the terms and conditions of most of the collection contracts, the clients may remove any agency from its preferred list, rescind existing contracts and even suspend future business relationships if an agency fails to observe the legal requirements and contractual requirements in the collection service contracts.

        We believe our proven track record, industry reputation, business scale, remote collection approach and centralized management in providing collection services are the cornerstones of our strong relationships with major commercial banks and online consumer finance companies.

Compliance and Quality Control

        We believe our core competence lies in our ability to provide quality customer service and compliance with applicable laws, regulations and our clients' policies. We have undertaken the following measures to ensure compliance.

Our Compliance Policies

        We have adopted the following compliance policies:

    Employee Code of Conduct.    Our efforts to maintain compliant operations starts with the training and continuing education of our employees. The Employee Code of Conduct sets forth the basic code of ethics, proper business conduct and obligations to our clients and to the debtors. In particular, the code emphasizes the importance of keeping proprietary information confidential and maintaining a high level of professionalism in the performance of work functions, and have strict guidelines that prohibit certain actions such as selling debtor information, impersonating government officials, threat of violence, and use of vulgar or inappropriate language. In addition, the code specifies the reward and disciplinary actions for employees abiding by or violating this Employee Code of Conduct and other company regulations.

    Quality Assurance Management Plan.    The goal of implementing the Quality Assurance Management Plan is to standardize the collection operations, prevent risks related to collection services and ensure compliance with government and internal regulations. The plan sets forth definitions of violating conduct including credit violations, improper management of private and personal information, procedural violations, fraudulent conduct and violations specific to collection services. The plan also includes corresponding penalties for employee violations and subsequent remediation plans to minimize the damage and prevent future incidents of similar violations. The plan consists of (i) Credit Card Receivables Collection Protocol; (ii) Telephone Record Inspection Regulation; (iii) Complaints Management Regulation; (iv) Information Security Regulation; (v) Work Log Inspection Regulation; and (vi) Trade Secret Protection Regulation.

Our Compliance Structure

        In addition to implementing our compliance policies to regulate employee conduct, we also established internal departments to monitor employee conduct, investigate possible violations, and ensure policy adherence. These departments include the department of quality inspection, the department of supervision, the department of security and the legal department. The department of quality inspection monitors employee activities on a daily basis to observe and detect possible violations. The department of supervision conducts investigations into possible violations after the violations have been reported by the department of quality inspection and/or other sources. The department of security communicates with debtors who raise disputes or complaints in person, if necessary, in order to explain and appease the situation. The legal department provides policy interpretation and guidance and systemic support to the other internal compliance departments. As of June 30, 2019, we have 36 dedicated staff in the legal and compliance teams.

Quality Assurance

        We emphasize quality control throughout all phases of the collection process.

    Case assignment.    Our performance monitoring system analyzes the past performance of each collection specialist to aid the case assignment process. For example, potentially contentious cases that are likely to cause complaints are assigned to more experienced collection specialists, instead of those with less experience or have a record of compliance violations or complaint history, as a way for us to manage and reduce the risk of complaint.

    Daily inspection.    The Deputy Manager and Department Leaders of each work group perform daily spot checks on 60 collection cases for potential compliance violations. Our operating portal records all telephone conversations with debtors, and our intelligent speech recognition system transcribes these recordings into text for our quality assurance team to review internally in accordance with our quality assurance protocol. Our operating portal also conducts daily keyword searches against all of the work logs generated that day for potential violations. If a violation is identified, we issue a disciplinary action against the collection specialist. Our disciplinary actions vary from warning to termination, which are issued depending on the seriousness of the violation. Furthermore, we analyze work logs and telephone recordings collected from daily inspections for performance trend and non-compliant activities, and train our collection specialists based on these findings in order to improve their performance.

    Quality control.    We have a number of quality control teams made up of quality assurance personnel to oversee the quality of the collection process. If a collection specialist believes that a debtor is likely to file complaints based on his/her interaction with the debtor, he/she is required to report the case to the respective quality control team. The quality assurance personnel then contact the debtor directly and seeks to address the debtor's concern in order to reduce the likelihood of a complaint. If the situation escalates into a dispute or complaint, the department of security may propose to meet with the debtor in person, if possible, in an effort to explain the situation and reconcile with the debtor.

    Complaints management.    We have a protocol to respond to complaints brought by debtors or referred from our clients after debtors file complaints through the clients' hotline. Once a complaint arises, we contact the debtor to assess the situation while we investigate the allegations made. Based on the investigation findings, we reach an

140


Table of Contents

      administrative decision on whether the complaint is valid, and whether disciplinary decisions are warranted in accordance with our compliance policies.

        We require all of our employees to strictly comply with our compliance policies and laws and regulations. For example, our collection specialists are not allowed to contact a single debtor for more than five times a day; no contact shall be made before 8 a.m. or after 10 p.m.; and unless authorized by the clients, our collection specialists are not allowed to make proposal to reduce the receivables value as a compromise. If our employee violates such requirements, we will issue certain penalties that range from warnings to termination of employment.

        Certain clients may require an enhanced level of supervisory review and others may require customized reports. We require our collection specialists to contact the debtors only through the means allowed under our standard procedure. Our collection specialists are not allowed to have face-to-face contact with any debtor. When we contact debtors through telephone, our collection specialists are required to make such calls only from our operating center landline or encrypted mobile phones issued by us, which records all of the telephone conversations and is subject to our system's real-time automatic monitoring.

        On November 13, 2018, we entered into a software purchase agreement with Beijing Sinovoice Technology Co., Ltd., or Sinovoice, which is an AI company focusing on development and application of intelligent speech recognition technology, to further improve our quality control system with AI technology. Under such contract, Sinovoice will provide us with a quality control robot, which monitors communications with debtors and alert quality control personnel for improper conduct by collection specialists to ensure quality of our collection service and reduce complaints brought by debtors. As an initial step of this project, we have implemented an intelligent speech recognition system which transcribes our collection specialists' telephone conversations with debtors into text for our quality control team to review. We continue to upgrade our system and intend eventually to monitor all communications with debtors.

Complaints Management

        Debtors may frequently file complaints against our collection practices, with or without merit, due to the contentious nature associated with debt collection and unpredictable debtor behavior. Debtors may file their complaints with our clients or government regulatory agencies, in particular, CBIRC, and other commercial regulatory agencies, alleging improper conduct and violations of law. We have maintained a low complaint rate. Our complaint rate was 0.11% for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

        If debtors file complaints directly with government agencies, the government agencies may penalize our clients and/or us. If the CBIRC determines that the allegations are substantiated, it has the authority to enforce penalties against the commercial banks or online consumer finance companies; the CBIRC does not interact or enforce penalties against us directly. However, if other regulatory agencies, such as the Administration for Market Regulation, the Public Security Bureau or the Communication Administration find that we violated laws or regulations in the performance of our collection service, they may levy penalties or even suspend our business if the violation is severe. As of June 30, 2019, government regulatory agencies have not penalized or suspended our business practice.

        If a client determines that we failed to comply with our quality assurance obligations under the contract between us and such client, such client may penalize us monetarily or rescind the contract, or cease future cooperation if the breach is severe. Total monetary penalties levied against us as a result of debtors' complaints were RMB496,048, RMB926,410 (US$134,947) and RMB1,999,867 (US$291,313) in 2017, 2018 and during the six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, which was 0.08%, 0.12% and 0.39% of the total revenue of each respective period.

Table of Contents

        We take complaints and allegations seriously and have developed a systematic approach to address complaints. Once notified of the complaint, the marketing department immediately conducts a preliminary investigation to verify the allegations. If the allegations are not substantiated and our client is notified of the findings, the client may attempt to communicate with the debtors directly. If the allegations are substantiated, we and our client will both attempt to communicate with the debtor. Based on the information we receive from the debtor, we may undertake certain actions to rectify the problem, including to compensate the debtor after negotiation with the clients, and/or to demote or terminate the responsible collection specialist. In addition, we established an "ultimate responsibility" principle, pursuant to which members of the senior management team, including Manager-in-Charge and the vice president, are jointly responsible for handling complaints and bear disciplinary consequences if a subordinate collection specialist violates our compliance policies. Disciplinary consequences include warning up to termination for Managers-in-Charge, and fines for vice presidents.

        In an effort to avoid such complaints, we carefully assign cases to our employees, monitor our employees' conduct during the collection process and implement proper training to continuously educate our employees about our compliance policies and government rules and regulations.

Our Employees

        We had 11,492 employees as of June 30, 2019. The following table sets forth the number of our employees, categorized by function as of June 30, 2019:

        Our success depends on our ability to attract, nurture, retain and motivate qualified employees. In addition to online job postings and career fairs, we attract and hire new qualified employees mainly through internal reference from our current employees and our partnerships with colleges and secondary vocational schools; the employees we hire through referrals and school partnerships demonstrate greater capability and company loyalty compared to employees hired through other channels. We offer employees competitive salaries, performance-based cash bonuses and other incentives. We also provide a clear promotion track to employees based on their performance. We believe that we maintain a good working relationship with our employees, and we have not experienced any material labor dispute.

        As required by laws and regulations in China, we participate in various employee social benefits plans that are organized by municipal and provincial governments, including housing funds, pension, medical insurance, job-related injury insurance, maternity insurance and unemployment insurance. We are required by PRC law to make contributions to employee benefit plans in values that equal specified percentages of salaries, bonuses and certain allowances of our employees, up to a maximum value specified by the local government from time to time. Accordingly, we obtained a Certificate of Compliance from the Changsha Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, which acknowledges that we are in compliance with the relevant social benefits laws and regulations as of May 31, 2019. However, we acknowledge the possibility that we have not contributed to the employee social benefits plans in a timely manner or contributed the minimum value required for employees in their

142

probation period due to high turnover rates of these employees. We make up the difference by providing social benefits stipends to a majority of these employees during the probation period.

        We typically enter into standard confidentiality and employment agreements with our employees. Contracts with management and senior collection specialists typically include a standard covenant against competition that prohibits such employees from competing with us, directly or indirectly, during his or her employment as well as for a certain period of time after employment termination.

Our Collection Specialists

        As of June 30, 2019, we employed 10,915 collection specialists, including 1,109 senior collection specialists who have years of experience and are qualified to conduct direct negotiation with debtors. We believe collection ability relates proportionally to tenure. Our senior collection specialists in each work group including the department leader, deputy manager and manager-in-charge, have more than two years of experience working with us on average. Our collection specialists are based in four operating centers in Changsha with the capacity to accommodate approximately 11,730 collection specialists, and 30 operating centers in other cities such as Shanghai, Wuhan and Shenyang with the total capacity to accommodate approximately 8,127 collection specialists. All of our collection specialists use the same collection system and are required to observe the same policies and standards at work, regardless of where they are located.

        We provide training programs for our new collection specialists, which include a two-day introduction training followed by on-the-job training. New collection specialists in Changsha will work at our headquarters for the first month and then relocate to other operating centers in Changsha. New collection specialists go through a probation period of approximately one to three months during which they primarily perform skip tracing tasks and receive continuous training from mentors we assign on negotiation skills and compliance policies. We only allow qualified and skillful collection specialists to contact and negotiate with debtors. We also collaborate with Xiangtan University to provide continued education for collection specialists who intend to improve their academic qualifications.

        We rank collection specialists in four levels, Manager-in-Charge, Deputy Manager, Department Leader and Team Member. Each work group consists of one Manager-in-Charge, one Deputy Manager, three or four Department Leaders and various Team Members. Generally, each Manager-in-Charge manages an operating center, and each Deputy Manager is responsible for the work group. We had 272 work groups as of June 30, 2019, each of which focuses on one particular client. Generally, only collection specialists at the Department Leader level or higher may directly negotiate with the debtors. Collection specialists who rank below the Department Leader level are primarily responsible for skip tracing. We promote

collection specialists mainly based on performance and compliance with applicable laws, regulations and policies. Below is a diagram illustrating the structure of a typical work group.

Technology and Infrastructure

        Our operating portal supports all key aspects of our collection activities platform. It is designed to handle the large volume of data required to evaluate a large collection portfolio, and a large number of collection profiles efficiently and accurately.

        As of June 30, 2019, we had a team of 63 full time employees to monitor and maintain our information technology and infrastructure. This core team focuses on providing the following services to support our long-term business growth: maintaining and strengthening our big data and analytics systems, and ensuring our technology systems, operating centers, collection systems, financial systems and security protocols are well established, reviewed, tested and continuously strengthened.

    Database System.    We believe the ability to access and utilize data is essential to our operations. Our centralized computer-based information systems support the core processing and analytics functions of our business under a set of integrated databases and are designed to be both replicable and scalable to accommodate our internal growth. This integrated approach assures that data resources that we accumulated in the course of our operation are processed and analyzed efficiently to aid our collection efforts. Our big data resources are stored in a distributed storage architecture system. This system processes a high volume of information and securely stores the information on a cloud server. The processed information then feeds into our operating portal to screen out outdated telephone numbers of the debtors on the record. The database system strengthens our debtor profiling function by enabling our operating portal to generate a score for each debtor using our proprietary algorithm based on non-personally identifiable information such as location, gender, composition of receivables and past due period to facilitate categorization and assignment. Furthermore, the database system consolidates information of debtors concurrently assigned for our collection to detect repeating debtors and map potential relationships based on the information we are authorized to use. In addition, the database system enhances our receivables evaluation model by providing historical debtor and

144


Table of Contents

      receivables information to our operating portal to analyze the collectability of target receivables and recommend bidding terms we would offer to our clients.

    Internal Systems.    Our operating portal digitizes and standardizes the collection process by consolidating skip tracing tools, debtor profiles and other functions under one platform. Our system software systematizes the collection profile, standardizes collection management, refines the collection process and consolidates repayment records. We use the operating portal for portfolio management, skip tracing, financial and management accounting, reporting, budget planning and business analysis. The fully digitized system allows our employees to access the tools and data in any of our operating centers in China. We believe our systems afford our collection specialists data support to perform our collection service and will be sufficient for our needs for the foreseeable future. In addition, our performance monitoring system analyzes the performance of each collection specialist by evaluating factors such as the amount collected, quality and compliance-related performance, work logs and call time data, and assigns a performance score accordingly. We correlate the debtor profiling score and the collection specialist score to assign collection cases or adjust current assignments to collection specialists in order to increase our operation efficiency and quality.

    Backup System.    We maintain two independent full capacity network servers in two separate Changsha locations. If one server experiences technical difficulties or outage, network operations immediately switches to the other server to ensure uninterrupted network services to our employees.

    Security System.    Our system is also configured with multiple layers of security modules, as part of our overall data privacy and security program, to protect our database from unauthorized access. We implemented security protocols (i) to guard against external infiltrations with a firewall system, (ii) to monitor employee access to personal and financial information that include system operation history monitoring and USB/external hard drive monitoring, and (iii) to guard against information leaks by implementing restrictions on the sending and receipt of emails and unauthorized use of information. If a collection specialist dials the same number more than five times through our system during the collection, the operating portal will report such incident to the department of quality inspection.

    Technology Upgrade.    We actively develop new software and explore greater use of technology to manage data resources. We will continue to improve our current information technology and infrastructure, which in turn is expected to enable us to utilize our technology and data resources more efficiently. See "Our Strategies" for a detailed discussion of our technology upgrades.

Data Privacy and Security

        We have access to a significant amount of data that could be considered as confidential, including operational data of our clients and personal information of the debtors. We consider the protection of such confidential information to be important. We adopted a strict internal data policy relating to the confidential information of our clients, the debtors, as well as our own confidential information. This policy establishes day-to-day data use requirements, data and information classifications, data encryption requirements, back-up requirements, approval procedures and user rights for confidential information and data. This policy also specifies the methods in which data must be stored, such as in encrypted format and with backup. We

145


Table of Contents

require each of our employees to agree in writing to abide by our data policy and to protect the confidentiality of our data.

        We maintain both intranet and extranet as part of our computer network to restrict the import and export of all documents. In addition, we use a variety of technologies to protect the data with which we are entrusted and have a team of data security professionals dedicated to the ongoing review and monitoring of data security practices. For example, we store all collection related data in encrypted format and strictly limit the number of personnel who can access those servers that store such data. For our external interfaces, we also utilize firewalls to protect against potential attacks or unauthorized access. We do not distribute or sell our data to other companies for any purpose.

        We continue to deploy both physical and system security enhancements to help ensure ongoing data protection. We prohibit collection specialists from using their personal cellphones during work hours, and require sophisticated log-in passwords, access authentication controls and firewalls and emphasize security awareness as part of our employee training programs. Since our inception, we have not experienced any material information breach or other system failure that led to the loss of debtor information.

Intellectual Property

        We regard our trademarks, domain names, copyrights, know-how, proprietary technologies and similar intellectual property as critical to our success, and we rely on trademark and trade secret law and confidentiality, invention assignment and non-competition agreements with our employees and others to protect our proprietary rights.

        As of the date of this prospectus, we have six pending applications and 10 registered patents with the State Intellectual Property Office of the PRC. These patents includes, among others, a system that realizes data protection and security through the use of a back-up mobile phone, a system that protects the security of the virtual network data and a database recovery system that recovers information even after deletion. These independently developed patents enhance our work progress monitoring, data security and operating efficiency, and afford us a competitive advantage over other industry participants.

        As of the date of this prospectus, we registered 56 computer software copyrights in connection with our business, including, among others, a mobile business application, a file upload and download system, and an email system.

        We currently hold nine registered trademarks in China for the " GRAPHIC ," " GRAPHIC " and other trademarks. We are the registered holder of 13 domain names in China, including hnyongxiong.com (our company homepage), hnyongxiong.cn (our electronic mail domain name), yubang168.com and yubang168.cn (internal operating center platforms), and yidongweixin.com (online service platform) and eight other currently unused domains.

        We intend to protect our technology and proprietary rights vigorously, but there can be no assurance that our efforts will be successful. Even if our efforts are successful, we may incur significant costs in defending our rights. Third parties may initiate litigation against us alleging infringement of their proprietary rights or declaring their non-infringement of our intellectual property rights. We may be subject to intellectual property infringement claims or other allegations, which could result in material damage to our reputation and brand image, payment of substantial damages, penalties and fines, removal of relevant content from our platform or seeking license arrangements which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms. We may not be able to prevent others from unauthorized use of our intellectual property, which could harm our business and competitive position.

Competition

        According to iResearch, the delinquent consumer receivables recovery industry in China is highly fragmented and competitive, consisting of approximately 3,000 companies and agencies. The market participants include domestic law firms, small collection agencies, and large privately held consumer receivables management companies. We believe our main competitors are other delinquent receivables collection service providers in China. In addition to outsourcing the collection activities, our clients may also manage and collect these delinquent consumer receivables using in-house resources.

        We face competition in obtaining collection service contracts and portfolios. We compete on the basis of reputation, industry experience, business scale and performance. Among the positive factors and competitive advantages which we believe may influence our ability to compete effectively in this market are our industry leading position and expertise in the collection of tertiary receivables, our technology and IT infrastructure, our ability to bid on charged-off debt portfolios at appropriate terms, our ability to negotiate appropriate operating targets to avoid penalty, our ability to negotiate with clients to waive guarantee deposits, our ability to manage complaints, our sizable volume of receivables under collection, our reputation to collect receivables in a timely fashion, our relationships with clients and our team of centrally-managed and well-trained collection specialists who provide quality customer service and compliance with applicable collections laws. Nevertheless, some of our current competitors and potential competitors may have substantially greater resources, greater adaptability to changing market needs, longer operating histories and more established relationships than we currently have.

Sales and Marketing

        Our sales and marketing efforts are primarily led by our marketing department. Typically, we respond to requests for proposals from commercial banks to obtain collection service contracts for portfolio collection. We also offer trial services to potential clients by collecting delinquent consumer receivables on their behalf on a trial basis. Since our inception, we developed long term cooperation and business relationships with seven of the top 10 commercial banks in China as of June 30, 2019. We have long-term relationships with these commercial banks to provide cyclical collection services for delinquent consumer receivables, and we expect to continue to do so in the future depending on market conditions.

Seasonality

        Our business primarily depends on our ability to collect delinquent consumer receivables. The number of the receivables collected tends to be low in the first half of the year, due to the fact that the traditional Lunar New Year period, most celebrated holiday in China, often lands on late January or early February, and our collection specialists often take vacations during that time. Our collection specialists' productivity often decreases during this extended holiday period. In addition, since Chinese people typically save money before Chinese New Year for holiday spending, debtors are less willing to repay their debts before the Lunar New Year and have very limited savings to repay their debt right after the holiday. Furthermore, our clients usually have higher demand for collection services in the second half of the year and are willing to provide more incentives. Therefore, the amount of delinquent consumer receivables we collect during the first quarter is typically lower than those during other quarters.

REGULATION

        This section sets forth a summary of the most significant rules and regulations that affect our business activities in China or our shareholders' rights to receive dividends and other distributions from us.

Regulation on Delinquent Consumer Receivables Recovery Service Providers

        Pursuant to the Administrative Regulations of the PRC on Administration of Company Registration, promulgated by the State Council on February 6, 2016 and effective on the same date, the scope of business of a company should be stipulated by its articles of association and registered pursuant to the law. To comply with the PRC regulations discussed above, our PRC subsidiary has registered "receivables management outsourcing services; collect from the holders of credit overdue accounts and the holders of overdue credit cards pursuant to the banks' authorization" as its registered business scope. See "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—Our failure to comply with government regulations could result in the suspension or termination of our business operations."

        Currently, the PRC has not adopted any laws or regulations directly regulating independent delinquent consumer receivables recovery service providers. In order to conduct our business as a delinquent consumer receivables recovery service provider, we must comply with the rules and regulations governing collection methods of receivables which should be followed by the commercial banks.

        The former China Banking Regulatory Commission (which was replaced by China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission), promulgated the Commercial Bank Credit Card Business Supervision and Management Methods on January 13, 2011, the Notice On Further Regulating The Credit Card Business on February 6, 2016, and the Guidelines for Outsourcing Risk Management of Financial Institutions in the Banking Sector on June 4, 2010, respectively. These rules set out provisions governing the receivable collection business authorized by commercial banks to the delinquent consumer receivables recovery services providers. A commercial bank has the right to entrust its delinquent consumer receivables recovery to a third-party service provider, while the commercial bank should bear the risk and take the responsibility of the outsourcing. The commercial bank, as the credit card issuing bank, and its authorized delinquent consumer receivables recovery services provider, should collect the debts directly from the debtors and their guarantors, without interfering with the business or life of any third parties who are unrelated to the debts, and should not use inappropriate debt collection methods such as violence, coercion, intimidation or verbal abuse.

        We have adopted internal standards to ensure our employees collect delinquent consumer receivables through appropriate means.

Regulation on Personal Information Protection

        The PRC has adopted comprehensive legislation governing personal information protection, mainly including:

    General Rules of the Civil Law of the PRC, effective October 1, 2017;

    Tort Law of the PRC, effective July 1, 2010;

    Decision of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress on Strengthening Network Information Protection, effective December 28, 2012;

    Cyber Security Law of the PRC, effective June 1, 2017; and

150


Table of Contents

    Criminal Law of the PRC, most recently amended on November 4, 2017, and the Interpretations on Several Issues concerning the Application of Law in the Handling of Criminal Cases Involving Infringement of Citizens' Personal Information jointly promulgated by the PRC Supreme People's Court and the PRC Supreme People's Procuratorate on May 8, 2017.

        Under these laws and regulations, "personal information" refers to all kinds of information recorded by electronic means or otherwise that can be used independently or together with other information to identify a particular natural person's identity or reflect particulars on his or her activities, including the natural person's name, ID number, contact information about his or her e-mail address or phone number, address, account name and password thereof, property conditions, whereabouts and tracks, among others. The personal information of a natural person should be protected by laws and regulations. Any organization or individual should legally obtain the personal information of others when necessary and ensure the safety of such personal information, and should not illegally collect, use, process or transmit the personal information of others, or illegally buy or sell, provide or make public the personal information of others. Apart from the aforementioned laws and regulations, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the PRC and the Standardization Administration of the PRC jointly promulgated the Guidelines for Personal Information Protection in Information Security Technology on Public and Commercial Service Information Systems, which became effective on February 1, 2013. These Guidelines, though non-binding, are the PRC's first set of personal information protection guidelines, which sets forth detailed information protection requirements on personal information collection, processing, transfer and deletion.

        In addition, personal information protection in specific business and industry is also governed by administrative laws and regulations, including, among others, (i) Notice on Banking Financial Institutions to Get the Personal Financial Information Protection Work Well Done and Notice on Further Proper Protection of Personal Financial Information of Customers by Financial Institutions, promulgated by the People's Bank of China on January 21, 2011, and March 27, 2012, respectively; and (ii) Provisions on Protecting the Personal Information of Telecommunications and Internet Users and Several Provisions on Regulation of the Order of Internet Information Service Market, promulgated by MIIT on July 16, 2013, and December 29, 2011, respectively.

        We have adopted internal standards to ensure our collection business to comply with the requirements of personal information protection.

Regulation on Foreign Investment

        Investment activities in the PRC by foreign investors are principally governed by the Catalogue for the Guidance of Foreign Investment Industry (the "Catalogue"), which was promulgated and is amended from time to time by the MOFCOM, and the NDRC, and together with the PRC Equity Joint Venture Law, the PRC Cooperative Joint Venture Law and the Wholly Foreign-owned Enterprise Law (the "Existing FIE Laws"), and their respective implementation rules and ancillary regulations. The Catalogue lays out the basic framework for foreign investment in China, classifying businesses into three categories with regard to foreign investment: "encouraged," "restricted" and "prohibited." On June 30, 2019, the MOFCOM and the NDRC jointly promulgated the Special Management Measures (Negative List) for the Access of Foreign Investment (the "2019 Negative List"), which became effective on July 30, 2019 to amend the Catalogue and the previous negative list thereunder. Establishment of wholly foreign-owned enterprises is generally allowed in industries outside of the 2019 Negative List. For the "restricted" industries within the scope of the 2019 Negative

151


Table of Contents

List, investment in some of such industries are limited to equity or contractual joint ventures, while in some cases Chinese partners are required to hold the majority interests in such joint ventures. The value-added telecommunications services (except for e-commerce, domestic multi-party communication, store-and-forward business and call centers) are currently classified as a restricted industry for foreign investments according to the 2019 Negative List. In addition, projects of the restricted categories are subject to government approvals and certain special requirements. Foreign investors are not allowed to invest in industries in the "prohibited" category. Industries not listed in the Catalogue are generally open to foreign investment unless specifically restricted by other PRC regulations.

        In addition, on March 15, 2019, the National People's Congress promulgated the Foreign Investment Law (the FIL), which will come into effect on January 1, 2020 and upon then the FIL will replace the Existing FIE Laws. The FIL embodies an expected regulatory trend in the PRC to rationalize its foreign investment regulatory regime in line with prevailing international practice and the legislative efforts to unify the corporate legal requirements for both foreign and domestic investments. The FIL, by means of legislation, establishes the basic framework for the access, promotion, protection and administration of foreign investment to promote investment protection and fair competition.

        According to the FIL, except for those foreign-invested entities that operate in industries deemed to be either "restricted" or "prohibited" in the "negative list," foreign investment will enjoy "pre-entry national treatment." The FIL provides that foreign-invested entities operating in foreign "restricted" or "prohibited" industries will require entry clearance and other approvals. However, it is unclear whether the "negative list" will differ from the 2019 Negative List. In addition, the FIL does not comment on the concept of "de facto control" or contractual arrangements with variable interest entities. But it has a catch-all provision under the definition of "foreign investment" to include investments made by foreign investors in China through means stipulated by laws or administrative regulations or other methods prescribed by the State Council. Therefore, it still leaves leeway for future laws, administrative regulations or provisions to provide for contractual arrangements as a form of foreign investment. See "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure—Our current corporate structure and business operations may be affected by the newly enacted Foreign Investment Law."

        The FIL also provides several protective rules and principles for foreign investors and their investments in the PRC, including, among others, that local governments shall abide by their commitments to the foreign investors; foreign-invested enterprises are allowed to issue stocks and corporate bonds; except for special circumstances, in which case statutory procedures shall be followed and fair and reasonable compensation shall be made in a timely manner, expropriate or requisition the investment of foreign investors is prohibited; mandatory technology transfer is prohibited; foreign investors' funds are allowed to be freely transferred out and into the territory of the PRC, and such treatment will remain effective through the entire lifecycle from the entry to the exit of such foreign investment; and that an all-around and multi-angle system will be provided to guarantee fair competition of foreign-invested enterprises in the market economy.

        Under the FIL, foreign investors or the foreign investment enterprise will be subject to legal liabilities for failing to report investment information in accordance with the requirements. The FIL further provides that foreign-invested enterprises established according to the existing laws regulating foreign investment may maintain their structure and corporate governance within five years after the implementing of the FIL, which means that foreign-invested enterprises may be required to adjust the structure and corporate governance in

152

accordance with the current PRC Company Law and other laws and regulations governing the corporate governance.

Regulation on Foreign Investment in Value-Added Telecommunications Businesses

        The Regulations for Administration of Foreign-invested Telecommunications Enterprises promulgated by the PRC State Council on December 11, 2001, and subsequently amended on September 10, 2008, and on February 6, 2016, respectively, set forth detailed requirements with respect to capitalization, investor qualifications and application procedures in connection with the establishment of a foreign-invested telecommunications enterprise. These regulations prohibit a foreign entity from owning more than 50% of the total equity interest of any value-added telecommunications service business in China and require the major foreign investor in any value-added telecommunications service business in China have a good and profitable record and operating experience in this industry. On July 13, 2006, the Ministry of Information Industry, the predecessor of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, or MIIT, issued the Circular on Strengthening the Administration of Foreign Investment in the Operation of Value-added Telecommunications Business, pursuant to which a domestic PRC company that holds an operating license for value-added telecommunications business is prohibited from leasing, transferring or selling the value-added telecommunications service license, or VATS License, to foreign investors in any form and from providing any assistance, including resources, sites or facilities, to foreign investors that conduct a value-added telecommunications business illegally in China. In addition, the company's operational premises and equipment must comply with the approved coverage region on its VATS License, and the company must establish and improve its internal internet and information security policies and standards and emergency management procedures. Besides, a holder of VATS License is required to obtain approval from the original permit-issuing authority in respect of any change to its shareholders or legal representative within the validity period of such license. If the holder of VATS License fails to comply with the requirements and also fails to remedy such non-compliance within a specified period of time, MIIT or its local counterparts have the discretion to take administrative measures against the license holder, including revoking its VATS License.

        To comply with the PRC regulations discussed above, we operate value-added telecommunications business through the Yong Xiong Group, our PRC consolidated variable interest entity, which holds a VATS License issued by MIIT for the provision of operating center services, and Changsha Yubang Software Development Co., Ltd., or Changsha Yubang, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Yong Xiong Group, holds a VATS License issued by MIIT for the provision of information services (excluding landline telephone information services and internet information services). Currently, the Yong Xiong Group and Changsha Yubang are applying for alternation of original VATS Licenses held by them respectively due to the change of their shareholders and/or legal representative.

Regulation on Intellectual Property Rights

        The PRC has adopted comprehensive legislation governing intellectual property rights, including patents, trademarks, copyrights and domain names.

Patents

        Pursuant to the PRC Patent Law, most recently amended on December 27, 2008, and its implementation rules, most recently amended on January 9, 2010, patents in China fall into three categories: invention, utility model and design. An invention patent is granted to a new technical solution proposed in respect of a product or method or an improvement of a

153


Table of Contents

product or method. A utility model is granted to a new technical solution that is practicable for application and proposed in respect of the shape, structure or a combination of both of a product. A design patent is granted to the new design of a certain product in shape, pattern or a combination of both and in color, shape and pattern combinations aesthetically suitable for industrial application. Under the PRC Patent Law, the term of patent protection starts from the date of application. Patents relating to invention are effective for twenty years, and utility models and designs are effective for 10 years from the date of application. The PRC Patent Law adopts the principle of "first-to-file" system, which provides that where more than one person files a patent application for the same invention, a patent will be granted to the person who files the application first.

        Existing patents can become narrowed, invalid or unenforceable due to a variety of grounds, including lack of novelty, creativity, and deficiencies in patent application. In China, a patent must have novelty, creativity and practical applicability. Under the PRC Patent Law, novelty means that before a patent application is filed, no identical invention or utility model has been publicly disclosed in any publication in China or overseas or has been publicly used or made known to the public by any other means, whether in or outside of China, nor has any other person filed with the patent authority an application that describes an identical invention or utility model and is recorded in patent application documents or patent documents published after the filing date. Creativity means that, compared with existing technology, an invention has prominent substantial features and represents notable progress, and a utility model has substantial features and represents any progress. Practical applicability means an invention or utility model can be manufactured or used and may produce positive results. Patents in China are filed with the State Intellectual Property Office, or SIPO. Normally, the SIPO publishes an application for an invention patent within 18 months after the filing date, which may be shortened at the request of applicant. The applicant must apply to the SIPO for a substantive examination within three years from the date of application.

        Article 20 of the PRC Patent Law provides that, for an invention or utility model completed in China, any applicant (not just PRC companies and individuals), before filing a patent application outside of China, must first submit it to the SIPO for a confidential examination. Failure to comply with this requirement will result in the denial of any Chinese patent for the relevant invention. This added requirement of confidential examination by the SIPO has raised concerns by foreign companies who conduct research and development activities in China or outsource research and development activities to service providers in China.

        As of September 2019, we had 10 patents granted and 6 patent applications pending in China.

Trademark Law

        Trademarks are protected by the PRC Trademark Law adopted in August 23, 1982 and subsequently amended on February 22, 1993, October 27, 2001, August 30, 2013 and April 23, 2019 (the most recent revision would be effective on 1 November, 2019) as well as the Implementation Regulation of the PRC Trademark Law adopted by the State Council on August 3, 2002 and amended on April 29, 2014. The PRC Trademark Office of National Intellectual Property Administration is responsible for the registration and administration of trademarks throughout the PRC. The Trademark Law has adopted a "first-to-file" principle with respect to trademark registration. Registered trademarks are granted a valid term of 10 years, which could be renewed each time for another 10 years commencing from the day after the expiry date of the last period of validity if the required renewal formalities have been completed. As of September 2019, we owned nine registered trademarks in different applicable trademark categories in China.

Copyright Law

        Pursuant to the PRC Copyright Law adopted on September 7, 1990 and subsequently amended on October 27, 2001 and February 26, 2010, Chinese citizens, legal persons, or other organizations shall, whether published or not, enjoy copyright in their works, which include, among others, works of literature, works of art, natural science, social science, engineering technology and computer software. As of September 2019, we have registered one work of art copyright in China.

        The Computer Software Protection Regulations, promulgated by the State Council on December 20, 2001, and most recently amended on January 30, 2013, provides that Chinese citizens, legal persons and other organizations should enjoy copyright on software they develop, regardless of whether the software is released publicly. Software copyright commences from the date on which the development of the software is completed. The protection period for software copyright of a legal person or other organizations should be 50 years, concluding on December 31 of the 50th year after the software's initial release. In order to further implement the Computer Software Protection Regulations, the State Copyright Bureau issued the Computer Software Copyright Registration Procedures on February 20, 2002, which have been amended in 2004 and apply to software copyright registration, license contract registration and transfer contract registration. As of the date of this prospectus, we have registered 56 computer software copyright in China.

Regulation on Domain Name

        The domain names are protected under the Administrative Measures on the Internet Domain Names promulgated by MIIT, effective on November 1, 2017. MIIT is the major regulatory body responsible for the administration of the PRC internet domain names, under supervision of which China Internet Network Information Center, or CNNIC, is responsible for the daily administration of PRC's national top-level domain names, or CN domain names, and PRC domain names. CNNIC promulgated the Implementation Rules of Registration of Domain Name, or the CNNIC Rules, effective May 29, 2012. Pursuant to the Administrative Measures on the Internet Domain Names and the CNNIC Rules, the registration of domain names adopts the "first-to-file" principle and the registrant should complete the registration via the domain name registration service institutions. In the event of a domain name dispute, the disputing parties may lodge a complaint to the designated domain name dispute resolution institution to trigger the domain name dispute resolution procedure in accordance with the CNNIC Measures on Resolution of the Top Level Domains Disputes, file a suit to the People's Court or initiate an arbitration procedure. As of September 2019, we have registered 13 domain names.

Regulation on Employment

        The Labor Law of the PRC, effective on January 1, 1995 and subsequently amended on August 27, 2009 and December 29, 2018, the PRC Employment Contract Law, effective on January 1, 2008 and subsequently amended on December 28, 2012 and the Implementing Regulations of the Employment Contract Law, effective on September 18, 2008, provide requirements concerning employment contracts between an employer and its employees. If an employer fails to enter into a written employment contract with an employee within one year from the date on which the employment relationship is established, the employer must rectify the situation by entering into a written employment contract with the employee and pay the employee twice the employee's salary for the period from the day following the lapse of one month from the date of establishment of the employment relationship to the day prior to the execution of the written employment contract. The Labor Contract Law and its implementation rules also require compensation to be paid upon certain terminations, which

155


Table of Contents

significantly affects the cost of reducing workforce for employers. In addition, if an employer intends to enforce a non-compete provision in an employment contract or non-competition agreement with an employee, it has to compensate the employee on a monthly basis during the term of the restriction period after the termination or expiry of the labor contract. Employers in most cases are also required to provide severance payment to their employees after their employment relationships are terminated.

        Enterprises in China are required by PRC laws and regulations to participate in certain employee benefit plans, including social insurance funds, namely a pension insurance plan, a medical insurance plan, an unemployment insurance plan, a work-related injury insurance plan and a maternity insurance plan, and a housing provident fund, and contribute to the plans or funds in amounts equal to certain percentages of salaries, including bonuses and allowances, of the employees as specified by the local government from time to time at locations where they operate their businesses or where they are located. According to the Social Insurance Law, an employer that fails to make social insurance contributions on time or in full amount may be ordered to pay the required contributions within a stipulated deadline and be subject to a daily late fee. If the employer still fails to rectify the failure to make social insurance contributions within the stipulated deadline, it may be subject to a fine ranging from one to three times the amount overdue. According to the Regulations on Management of Housing Fund, an enterprise that fails to make housing fund contributions may be ordered to rectify the noncompliance and pay the required contributions within a stipulated deadline; otherwise, an application may be made to a local court for compulsory enforcement.

Regulation on Fire Safety

        The laws and regulations that regulate fire safety in the PRC mainly includes the Fire Safety Law of the PRC, promulgated on April 29, 1998, subsequently amended on October 28, 2008 and April 23, 2019, and Provisions of Supervision and Management of Fire Safety Construction, promulgated on April 30, 2009 and amended on July 17, 2012 (the revision became effective on November 1, 2012), which specify the procedure of fire safety design and fire safety acceptance inspection for construction projects (including interior decoration). For any assembly occupancy under specific circumstances or any special construction projects as provided, the construction projects owners shall apply to the relevant department of housing and urban-rural development for fire protection design review and, after the completion of the construction projects, for fire protection acceptance. For construction projects apart from those abovementioned, the construction project owners shall (i) submit sufficient drawings and technical materials of fire protection design while applying for construction permits or approvals, and (ii) proceed the record-filing with relevant housing and urban-rural development department after acceptance of the construction project. Those who failed to comply with such procedure could be imposed fines, ordered to rectify or to suspend construction, use or business operations in respect of the relevant construction projects by relevant departments of housing and urban-rural development and fire control authorities.

Regulation on Tax

PRC Enterprise Income Tax

        The PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, which was promulgated on March 16, 2007 and took effect on January 1, 2008, and further amended on February 24, 2017 and December 29, 2018, imposes a uniform enterprise income tax rate of 25% on all PRC resident enterprises, including foreign-invested enterprises, unless they qualify for certain exceptions. The enterprise income tax is calculated based on the PRC resident enterprise's global income as determined under PRC tax laws and accounting standards. If a non-resident enterprise sets up

156


Table of Contents

an organization or establishment in the PRC, it will be subject to enterprise income tax for the income derived from such organization or establishment in the PRC and for the income derived from outside the PRC but with an actual connection with such organization or establishment in the PRC.

PRC Value Added Tax

        On January 1, 2012, the State Council officially launched a pilot value-added tax reform program, or the Pilot Program, applicable to businesses in selected industries. Businesses in the Pilot Program would pay value added tax, or VAT, instead of business tax. The Pilot Program initially applied only to transportation industry and "modern service industries" in Shanghai and would be expanded to eight trial regions (including Beijing and Guangdong province) and nationwide if conditions permit. The pilot industries in Shanghai included industries involving the leasing of tangible movable property, transportation services, research and development and technical services, information technology services, cultural and creative services, logistics and ancillary services, certification and consulting services. Revenues generated by advertising services, a type of "cultural and creative services", are subject to the VAT tax rate of 6%. According to official announcements made by relevant authorities in Beijing and Guangdong province, Beijing launched the same Pilot Program on September 1, 2012, and Guangdong province launched it on November 1, 2012.

        On May 24, 2013, the Ministry of Finance, or MOF, and SAT jointly issued the Circular on Tax Policies in the Nationwide Pilot Collection of Value Added Tax in Lieu of Business Tax in the Transportation Industry and Certain Modern Services Industries, or the Pilot Collection Circular. The scope of certain modern services industries under the Pilot Collection Circular extends to the inclusion of radio and television services. On March 23, 2016, MOF and SAT jointly issued the Circular on the Pilot Program for Overall Implementation of the Collection of Value Added Tax Instead of Business Tax, or Circular 36, which took effect on May 1, 2016. Pursuant to the Circular 36, all of the companies operating in construction, real estate, finance, modern service or other sectors which were required to pay business tax are required to pay VAT, in lieu of business tax. The VAT rate is 6%, except for rate of 11% for real estate sale, land use right transferring and providing service of transportation, postal sector, basic telecommunications, construction, real estate lease; rate of 17% for providing lease service of tangible property; and rate of zero for specific cross-bond activities.

        On April 4, 2018, MOF and SAT jointly promulgated the Circular of the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation on Adjustment of Value-Added Tax Rates, or Circular 32, according to which (i) for VAT taxable sales acts or importation of goods originally subject to value-added tax rates of 17% and 11% respectively, such tax rates should be adjusted to 16% and 10%, respectively; (ii) for purchase of agricultural products originally subject to deduction rate of 11%, such deduction rate should be adjusted to 10%; (iii) for purchase of agricultural products for the purpose of production and sales or consigned processing of goods subject to tax rate of 16%, such tax should be calculated at the deduction rate of 12%; (iv) for exported goods originally subject to tax rate of 17% and export tax refund rate of 17%, the export tax refund rate should be adjusted to 16%; and (v) for exported goods and cross-border taxable acts originally subject to tax rate of 11% and export tax refund rate of 11%, the export tax refund rate should be adjusted to 10%. Circular 32 became effective on May 1, 2018 and should supersede existing provisions which are inconsistent with Circular 32. On March 20, 2019, MOF, SAT and the General Administration of Customs jointly promulgated the Policies Concerning Deepening the Reform of Value-Added Tax, or Circular 39, according to which for VAT taxable sales acts or importation of goods originally subject to value-added tax rates of 16% and 10% respectively, such tax rates should be adjusted to 13% and 9%,

157


Table of Contents

respectively. Circular 39 became effective on April 1, 2019 and should supersede existing provisions which are inconsistent with Circular 39.

PRC Dividend Withholding Tax

        Pursuant to the EIT Law and the Implementation Rules, dividends payable by a foreign-invested enterprise in China to its foreign enterprise investors are subject to a 10% withholding tax, unless any such foreign investor's jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement. Under the Arrangement between the Mainland and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with Respect to Taxes on Income, or the China-HK Taxation Arrangement, income tax on dividends payable to a company resident in Hong Kong that holds more than a 25% equity interest of a PRC resident enterprise may be reduced to a rate of 5%. In February 2018, the State Administration of Taxation issued the Announcement on Issues concerning Beneficial Owners in Tax Treaties, or Circular 9, to replace the Circular of the State Administration of Taxation on the Interpretation and the Determination of the Beneficial Owners in the Tax Treaties from April 1, 2018. Circular 9 provides a more elastic guidance to determine whether the applicant engages in substantive business activities. Furthermore, under the Administrative Measures for Non-Resident Enterprises to Enjoy Treatments under Tax Treaties effective November 1, 2015, non-resident taxpayers who satisfy the criteria for entitlement to tax treaty benefits may, at the time of tax declaration or withholding declaration through a withholding agent, enjoy the tax treaty benefits, and be subject to follow-up administration by the tax authorities. Where the non-resident taxpayer does not apply to the withholding agent to claim the tax treaty benefits, or the materials and the information stated in the relevant reports and statements provided to the withholding agent do not satisfy the criteria for entitlement to tax treaty benefits, the withholding agent should withhold tax pursuant to the provisions of PRC tax laws. In addition, according to the Notice of SAT on the Issues Concerning the Application of the Dividend Clauses of Tax Agreements on February 20, 2009, if the main purpose of an offshore arrangement is to obtain a preferential tax treatment, the PRC tax authorities have the discretion to adjust the preferential tax rate enjoyed by the relevant offshore entity. Although our WFOE is currently wholly owned by YX Services Limited, we cannot assure you that we will be able to enjoy the preferential withholding tax rate of 5% under the China-HK Taxation Arrangement.

Regulation on Foreign Exchange

        The principal regulations governing foreign currency exchange in China are the Foreign Exchange Administration Regulations, most recently amended on August 5, 2008. Under the Foreign Exchange Administration Regulations, payments of current account items, such as profit distributions and trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from or registration with appropriate government authorities is required where RMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of foreign currency-denominated loans.

        On August 29, 2008, SAFE issued the Circular on the Relevant Operating Issues Concerning the Improvement of the Administration of the Payment and Settlement of Foreign Currency Capital of Foreign-Invested Enterprises, or SAFE Circular 142, regulating the conversion by a foreign-invested enterprise of foreign currency-registered capital into RMB by restricting how the converted RMB may be used. SAFE Circular 142 provides that the RMB

158


Table of Contents

capital converted from foreign currency registered capital of a foreign-invested enterprise may only be used for purposes within the business scope approved by the applicable government authority and may not be used for equity investments within China. SAFE also strengthened its oversight of the flow and use of the RMB capital converted from foreign currency registered capital of foreign-invested enterprises. The use of such RMB capital may not be changed without SAFE's approval, and such RMB capital may not in any case be used to repay RMB loans if the proceeds of such loans have not been used. On March 30, 2015, SAFE issued the Notice of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Reforming the Administration of Foreign Exchange Settlement of Capital of Foreign-invested Enterprises, or SAFE Circular 19, which took effect and replaced SAFE Circular 142 on June 1, 2015. Although SAFE Circular No. 19 allows for the use of RMB converted from the foreign currency-denominated capital for equity investments in China, the restrictions continue to apply as to foreign-invested enterprises' use of the converted RMB for purposes beyond their business scopes, for issuance of entrusted loans or for repayment of inter-company RMB loans. SAFE promulgated the Notice of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Reforming and Standardizing the Foreign Exchange Settlement Management Policy of Capital Account, or Circular 16, effective on June 9, 2016, which reiterates some of the rules set forth in Circular 19, but changes the prohibition against using RMB capital converted from foreign currency-denominated registered capital of a foreign-invested company to issue RMB entrusted loans to a prohibition against using such capital to issue loans to non-associated enterprises. Violations of SAFE Circular 19 or Circular 16 could result in administrative penalties.

        On November 19, 2012, SAFE promulgated the Circular of Further Improving and Adjusting Foreign Exchange Administration Policies on Foreign Direct Investment which substantially amends and simplifies the current foreign exchange procedure. Pursuant to this circular, the opening of various special purpose foreign exchange accounts (e.g., pre-establishment expenses accounts, foreign exchange capital accounts and guarantee accounts), the reinvestment of lawful incomes derived by foreign investors in China (e.g., profit, proceeds of equity transfer, capital reduction, liquidation and early repatriation of investment), and purchase and remittance of foreign exchange as a result of capital reduction, liquidation, early repatriation or share transfer in a foreign-invested enterprise no longer require approval or verification by SAFE, and multiple capital accounts for the same entity may be opened in different provinces, which was not possible before. In addition, SAFE promulgated the Circular on Printing and Distributing the Provisions on Foreign Exchange Administration over Domestic Direct Investment by Foreign Investors and the Supporting Documents in May 2013, which specifies that the administration by SAFE or its local branches over direct investment by foreign investors in the PRC should be conducted by way of registration and banks should process foreign exchange business relating to the direct investment in China based on the registration information provided by SAFE and its branches.

        On February 13, 2015, SAFE promulgated the Circular on Further Simplifying and Improving the Policies Concerning Foreign Exchange Control on Direct Investment, or SAFE Circular 13, which took effect on June 1, 2015. SAFE Circular 13 delegates the authority to enforce the foreign exchange registration in connection with the inbound and outbound direct investment under relevant SAFE rules to certain banks and therefore further simplifies the foreign exchange registration procedures for inbound and outbound direct investment.

Regulation on Foreign Exchange Registration of Offshore Investment by PRC Residents

        On July 4, 2014, SAFE issued the Circular on Relevant Issues Concerning Foreign Exchange Control on Domestic Residents' Offshore Investment and Financing and Roundtrip

159


Table of Contents

Investment through Special Purpose Vehicles, or SAFE Circular 37, and its implementation guidelines, which abolished and superseded the Circular on Several Issues Concerning Foreign Exchange Administration for Domestic Residents to Engage in Financing and in Return Investments via Overseas Special Purpose Companies, or SAFE Circular 75. Pursuant to SAFE Circular 37 and its implementation guidelines, PRC residents (including PRC institutions and individuals) must register with local branches of SAFE in connection with their direct or indirect offshore investment in an overseas special purpose vehicle, or SPV, directly established or indirectly controlled by PRC residents for the purposes of offshore investment and financing with their legally owned assets or interests in domestic enterprises, or their legally owned offshore assets or interests. Such PRC residents are also required to amend their registrations with SAFE when there is a change to the basic information of the SPV, such as changes of a PRC resident individual shareholder, the name or operating period of the SPV, or when there is a significant change to the SPV, such as changes of the PRC individual resident's increase or decrease of its capital contribution in the SPV, or any share transfer or exchange, merger, division of the SPV. Pursuant to SAFE Circular 13, the initial foreign exchange registration and the amendment thereof under SAFE Circular 37 should be examined and handled by qualified local banks from June 1, 2015.

        Failure to comply with the registration procedures set forth in the SAFE Circular 37 and SAFE Circular 13 may result in restrictions being imposed on the foreign exchange activities of the relevant onshore company, including the payment of dividends and other distributions to its offshore parent or affiliate, the capital inflow from the offshore entities and settlement of foreign exchange capital, and may also subject relevant onshore companies or PRC residents to penalties under PRC foreign exchange administration regulations.

        In November 2018 and February 2019, all of our PRC resident shareholders, completed the required SAFE registration respectively in accordance with the PRC laws in relation to our financing and restructuring to our shareholding structure.

Regulation on Employee Share Options

        On December 25, 2006, the People's Bank of China promulgated the Administrative Measures for Individual Foreign Exchange. On February 15, 2012, SAFE issued the Notices on Issues concerning the Foreign Exchange Administration for Domestic Individuals Participating in Stock Incentive Plans of Overseas Publicly-Listed Companies, or the Stock Option Rules, which replaced the Application Procedures of Foreign Exchange Administration for Domestic Individuals Participating in Employee Stock Ownership Plans or Stock Option Plans of Overseas Publicly-Listed Companies issued by SAFE on March 28, 2007. Pursuant to the Stock Option Rules, PRC residents who are granted shares or stock options by companies listed on overseas stock exchanges according to the stock incentive plans are required to register with SAFE or its local branches, and PRC residents participating in the stock incentive plans of overseas listed companies should retain a qualified PRC agent, which could be a PRC subsidiary of such overseas publicly-listed company or another qualified institution selected by such PRC subsidiary, to conduct SAFE registration and other procedures with respect to the stock incentive plans on behalf of these participants. Such participants must also retain an overseas entrusted institution to handle matters in connection with their exercise of stock options, purchase and sale of corresponding stocks or interests, and fund transfer. In addition, the PRC agents are required to amend SAFE registration with respect to the stock incentive plan if there is any material change to the stock incentive plan, the PRC agents or the overseas entrusted institution or other material changes. The PRC agents should, on behalf of the PRC residents who have the right to exercise the employee share options, apply to SAFE or its local branches for an annual quota for the payment of foreign currencies in connection

160


Table of Contents

with the PRC residents' exercise of the employee share options. The foreign exchange proceeds received by the PRC residents from the sale of shares under the stock incentive plans granted and dividends distributed by the overseas listed companies must be remitted into the bank accounts in the PRC opened by the PRC agents before distribution to such PRC residents. In addition, the PRC agents should file each quarter the form for record-filing of information of the Domestic Individuals Participating in the Stock Incentive Plans of Overseas Listed Companies with SAFE or its local branches.

        In addition, SAT has issued certain circulars concerning employee share awards. Under these circulars, employees working in the PRC who exercise share options or hold the vested restricted shares will be subject to PRC individual income tax. The PRC subsidiaries of the overseas publicly-listed companies have obligations to file documents related to employee share awards with relevant tax authorities and to withhold individual income taxes of those employees who exercise their share options or hold the vested restricted shares. If the employees fail to pay or such PRC subsidiaries fail to withhold their income taxes according to relevant laws and regulations, the PRC subsidiaries may face sanctions imposed by the tax authorities or other PRC government authorities.

Regulation on Dividend Distributions

        The principal regulations governing distribution of dividends paid by wholly foreign-owned enterprises include:

    Company Law of the PRC (1993), as amended in 1999, 2004, 2005, 2013 and 2018;

    Foreign Investment Enterprise Law of the PRC (1986), as amended in 2000 and 2016; and

    Implementation Rules under the Foreign Investment Enterprise Law (1990), as amended in 2001 and 2014.

        Under these laws and regulations, foreign-invested enterprises in China may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, a wholly foreign-owned enterprise in China is required to set aside at least 10.0% of its after-tax profit based on PRC accounting standards each year to its general reserves until the accumulative amount of such reserves reach 50.0% of its registered capital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. The foreign-invested enterprise has the discretion to allocate a portion of its after-tax profits to staff welfare and bonus funds. A PRC company is not permitted to distribute any profits until any losses from prior fiscal years have been offset. Profits retained from prior fiscal years may be distributed together with distributable profits from the current fiscal year.

M&A Rule and Overseas Listing

        On August 8, 2006, six PRC regulatory agencies, namely, MOFCOM, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, SAT, the former Administration for Industry and Commerce, China Securities Regulatory Commission, or the CSRC, and SAFE, jointly adopted the Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors, or the M&A Rules, which became effective on September 8, 2006 and were amended on June 22, 2009. The M&A Rules purport, among other things, to require that SPVs that are controlled by PRC companies or individuals and that have been formed for overseas listing purposes through acquisitions of PRC domestic interest held by such PRC companies or individuals, to obtain the approval of the CSRC prior to publicly listing their securities on an overseas stock exchange. On September 21, 2006, the CSRC published a notice on its

161


Table of Contents

official website specifying documents and materials required to be submitted to it by SPVs seeking CSRC approval of their overseas listings. While the application of the M&A Rules remains unclear, our PRC legal counsel has advised us that based on its understanding of the current PRC laws, rules and regulations and the M&A Rules, prior approval from the CSRC is not required under the M&A Rules for the listing and trading of our ADSs on the New York Stock Exchange given that (i) our PRC subsidiaries were directly established by us as wholly foreign-owned enterprises, and we have not acquired any equity interest or assets of a PRC domestic company owned by PRC companies or individuals as defined under the M&A Rules that are our beneficial owners after the effective date of the M&A Rules, and (ii) no provision in the M&A Rules clearly classifies the contractual arrangements as a type of transaction subject to the M&A Rules.

        However, our PRC legal counsel has further advised us uncertainties still exist as to how the M&A Rules will be interpreted and implemented and its opinions summarized above are subject to any new laws, rules and regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations in any form relating to the M&A Rules. If CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies subsequently determine that prior CSRC approval was required for our initial public offering, we may face regulatory actions or other sanctions from CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies.

        These regulatory agencies may impose fines and penalties on our operations, limit our operating privileges, delay or restrict the repatriation of the proceeds from our initial public offering into the PRC or payment or distribution of dividends by our PRC subsidiaries, or take other actions that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation and prospects, as well as the trading price of our ADSs. In addition, if CSRC later requires that we obtain its approval for our initial public offering, we may be unable to obtain a waiver of CSRC approval requirements, if and when procedures are established to obtain such a waiver. Any uncertainties or negative publicity regarding CSRC approval requirements could have a material adverse effect on the trading price of our ADSs. See "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in China—The M&A Rules and certain other PRC regulations establish complex procedures for some acquisitions of Chinese companies by foreign investors, which could make it more difficult for us to pursue growth through acquisitions in China."

Employment Agreements and Indemnification Agreements

        We have entered into an employment agreement with each of our executive officers. We may terminate their employment for cause. We may also terminate an executive officer's employment without cause upon 60-day advance written notice. In such case, we intend to provide a severance payment to the executive officer, the amount of which is to be agreed by us and the executive officer. The executive officer may resign at any time with a 60-day advance written notice.

        Each executive officer has agreed to hold, both during and after the termination or expiry of his or her employment agreement, in strict confidence and not to use any of our confidential information or trade secrets, any confidential information or trade secrets of our customers or prospective customers, or the confidential or proprietary information of any third party received by us and for which we have confidential obligations except as required in the performance of his or her duties in connection with the employment or pursuant to applicable law. The executive officers have also agreed to disclose to us all inventions, designs and trade secrets which they conceive, develop or reduce to practice during the executive officer's employment with us and to assign all right, title and interest in them to us, and assist us in obtaining and enforcing patents, copyrights and other legal rights for these inventions, designs and trade secrets.

        In addition, each executive officer has agreed to be bound by non-competition and non-solicitation restrictions during the term of his or her employment and typically for one

year following the last date of employment. Specifically, each executive officer has agreed not to (i) approach our suppliers, clients, direct or end customers or contacts or other persons or entities introduced to the executive officer in his or her capacity as a representative of us for the purpose of doing business with such persons or entities that will harm our business relationships with these persons or entities; (ii) assume employment with or provide services to any of our competitors, or engage, whether as principal, partner, licensor or otherwise, any of our competitors, without our express consent; or (iii) seek directly or indirectly, to solicit the services of, or hire or engage, any person who is known to be employed or engaged by us; or (iv) otherwise interfere with our business or accounts.

        We have also entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. Under these agreements, we agree to indemnify our directors and executive officers against liabilities and expenses incurred by such persons in connection with claims made by reason of their being a director or officer of our company.

Board of Directors

        Our board of directors will consist of             directors. Any person may be appointed a director by ordinary resolution. A director is not required to hold any shares in our company by way of qualification. A director may vote with respect to any contract, proposed contract or arrangement in which he is materially interested provided (i) such director, if his interest in such contract or arrangement is material, has declared the nature of his interest at the earliest meeting of the board at which it is practicable for him to do so, either specifically or by way of a general notice and (ii) if such contract or arrangement is a transaction with a related party, such transaction has been approved by the audit committee. The directors may exercise all the powers of the company to borrow money, mortgage its undertaking, property and uncalled capital, and issue debentures or other securities whenever money is borrowed or as security for any obligation of the company or of any third party. None of our non-executive directors has a service contract with us that provides for benefits upon termination of service.

        We are a "controlled company" as defined under the New York Stock Exchange Rules because YX Major Limited beneficially owns more than 50% of our total voting power. For so long as we remain a controlled company under that definition, we are permitted to elect to rely, and will rely, on certain exemptions from corporate governance rules, including:

    an exemption from the rule that a majority of our board of directors must be independent directors;

    an exemption from the rule that the compensation of our chief executive officer must be determined or recommended solely by independent directors; and

    an exemption from the rule that our director nominees must be selected or recommended solely by independent directors.

        We rely on the exemption available to foreign private issuers for the requirement that an audit committee be comprised of at least three members under New York Stock Exchange Rule 303A.07. We are not required to and will not voluntarily meet this requirement.

        As a result, you will not have the same protection afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to these corporate governance requirements.

Duties of Directors

        Under Cayman Islands law, our directors owe fiduciary duties to our company, including a duty to act honestly and a duty to act in what they consider in good faith to be in our best interests. Our directors must also exercise their powers only for a proper purpose. Our directors also owe to our company a duty to act with skill and care. It was previously considered that a director need not exhibit in the performance of his duties a greater degree of skill than may reasonably be expected from a person of his knowledge and experience. However, English and Commonwealth courts have moved towards an objective standard with regard to the required skill and care and these authorities are likely to be followed in the Cayman Islands. In fulfilling their duty of care to us, our directors must ensure compliance with our memorandum and articles of association. Our company has the right to seek damages if a duty owed by our directors is breached. In limited exceptional circumstances, a shareholder may have the right to seek damages in our name if a duty owed by our directors is breached. You should refer to "Description of Share Capital—Differences in Corporate Law" for additional information on our standard of corporate governance under Cayman Islands law.

Terms of Directors and Officers

        Our officers are elected by and serve at the discretion of the shareholders. Our directors are not subject to a term of office and hold office until such time as they are removed from office by the shareholders. A director will be removed from office automatically if, among other things, the director (i) becomes bankrupt or makes any arrangement or composition with his creditors; (ii) is found to be or becomes of unsound mind; (iii) resigns his office by notice in writing to the company; (iv) is removed from office by ordinary resolution; (v) is convicted of an arrestable offence; or (vi) dies.

Compensation of Directors and Executive Officers

        For the year ended December 31, 2018, we awarded an aggregate of RMB1.4 million (US$206,991) compensation to our director and executive officers. We have not set aside or accrued any amount to provide pension, retirement or other similar benefits to our executive officers and directors. Our PRC subsidiary and VIE are required by law to make contributions equal to certain percentages of each employee's salary for his or her pension insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance and other statutory benefits and a housing provident fund. For share incentive grants to our officers and directors, see "—Equity Incentive Plans."

Employee Incentive Arrangement

        In October 2018, we and YX Management Holding Ltd. entered into a service agreement with Mr. Joe Huaqiao Zhang, pursuant to which YX Management Holding Ltd. agrees to award certain of our shares to Mr. Zhang after the completion of this offering, in exchange for his services.

        In October 2018, we and YX Management Holding Ltd. entered into a service agreement with Mr. Kung Chik Chiu, pursuant to which YX Management Holding Ltd. agrees to award certain of our shares to Mr. Chiu after the completion of this offering, in exchange for his services.

        In October 2018, the Yong Xiong Group adopted a shareholders resolution approving an incentive arrangement, or the employee incentive arrangement, pursuant to which Mr. Tan agreed to award 15% equity interest in the Yong Xiong Group and a corresponding amount of ordinary shares of the Company, both of which he beneficially owned, to certain employees, or the award recipients, as share incentives. Under the employee incentive arrangement, YX Management Holding Ltd. transferred 1,500,000 ordinary shares of the Company, or the incentive shares, to YuXiong International Investment Ltd., a holding platform established jointly by the award recipients, in consideration of approximately US$4.8 million, calculated based on the net asset of the Yong Xiong Group as of December 31, 2017, to be paid by the award recipients on a pro rata basis based on the number of incentive shares that each of the award recipient is awarded under the employee incentive arrangement, or the original consideration. Mr. Tan, the sole director of YuXiong International Investment Ltd. will administer the incentive shares award. YuXiong International Investment Ltd. will hold or dispose the incentive shares pursuant to the terms of the employee incentive arrangement. On May 20, 2019, Mr. Zhongwen Wu, an employee who has been awarded 130,000 ordinary shares of YX Asset held by Mr. Tan pursuant to this employee incentive arrangement, resigned from the Company. Mr. Tan decided not to repurchase from the employee the awarded shares at original price, according to the original vesting condition. It represents a modification of accelerating vesting that at the date of the modification, the award is not expected to vest under the original vesting condition.

        The following paragraphs summarize the terms of the employee incentive arrangement:

        Arrangement Administration.    Mr. Tan, the administrator of the employee incentive arrangement, may alter the terms of the award under the employee incentive arrangement at his sole discretion.

        Incentive Shares Disposal.    YuXiong International Investment Ltd. may dispose up to 20% of the incentive shares each year for five years after the completion of this offering, and award part or all of the proceeds to the award recipients.

        Forfeiture.    In the event an award recipient violates his/her undertakings, the award recipient immediately forfeits his/her interest under the employee incentive arrangement. Upon such forfeiture, Mr. Tan will return the original consideration paid by such award recipient and such award recipient will return to Mr. Tan any proceeds he/she receives under the employee incentive arrangement.

Equity Incentive Plan

2020 Share Incentive Plan

        We expect to adopt a share incentive plan in 2020, or the 2020 Plan, for the purpose of promoting the success and enhance the value of our company, by linking the personal interests of the members of the board, employees, consultants and other individuals to those of our shareholders and, by providing an incentive for outstanding performance, to generate superior returns for our shareholders.

        Award Agreement.    Awards to be granted under the 2020 Plan will be evidenced by an award agreement that sets forth the terms and conditions for each grant.

        Exercise Price.    The exercises price of an option will be determined by the plan administrator, but should not be less than the fair market value on the grant date of the respective option or share appreciation right.

DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL

        We are a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability and our affairs are governed by our memorandum and articles of association, as amended and restated from time to time, and the Companies Law (2018 Revision) of the Cayman Islands, which is referred to as the Companies Law below.

        Our authorized share capital is expected to be US$50,000 divided into (a) [50,000,000] ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.001 each.

        We will adopt our fourth amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, which will become effective immediately prior to completion of this offering and will replace our existing third amended and restated memorandum and articles of association in their entirety. Our post-offering fourth amended and restated memorandum and articles of association will provide that, upon the closing of this offering, our authorized share capital will be US$           divided into: (i)            ordinary shares of a nominal or par value of US$0.001 each, of which            should be designated as Class A ordinary shares, with a nominal or par value of US$0.001 each, and 1,500,000 should be designated as Class B ordinary shares, with a nominal or par value of US$0.001 each. All outstanding ordinary shares held, directly or indirectly, by YX Major Limited will be immediately and automatically re-designated as Class B ordinary shares on in accordance with the fourth amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and all outstanding ordinary and Series A preferred shares other than those held by YX Major Limited will be re-designated as Class A ordinary shares in accordance with the fourth amended and restated memorandum and articles of association immediately prior to the completion of this offering. Immediately upon the completion of this offering, we will have           Class A ordinary shares and 1,500,000 Class B ordinary shares outstanding, assuming the underwriters do not exercise their option to purchase additional ADSs. We will issue           Class A ordinary shares represented by our ADSs in this offering, assuming the underwriters do not exercise their option to purchase additional ADSs. All incentive shares, including options, restricted shares and restricted share units, regardless of grant dates, will entitle holders to an equivalent number of Class A ordinary shares once the vesting and exercising conditions are met. The following are summaries of material provisions of our post-offering fourth amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and the Companies Law insofar as they relate to the material terms of our ordinary shares.

Ordinary Shares

        General.    All of our outstanding ordinary shares are fully paid and non-assessable. Certificates representing the ordinary shares are issued in registered form. Our shareholders who are non-residents of the Cayman Islands may freely hold and vote their ordinary shares. Our company will issue only non-negotiable shares, and will not issue bearer or negotiable shares.

        Register of Members.    Under Cayman Islands law, we must keep a register of members and there should be entered therein:

    the names and addresses of the members, a statement of the shares held by each member, and of the amount paid or agreed to be considered as paid, on the shares of each member;

    the date on which the name of any person was entered on the register as a member; and

    the date on which any person ceased to be a member.

180


Table of Contents

        Under Cayman Islands law, the register of members of our company is prima facie evidence of the matters set out therein (i.e., the register of members will raise a presumption of fact on the matters referred to above unless rebutted) and a member registered in the register of members is deemed as a matter of Cayman Islands law to have legal title to the shares as set against its name in the register of members. Upon the closing of this offering, the register of members will be immediately updated to record and give effect to the issue of shares by us to The Bank of New York Mellon (or its nominee) as the depositary. Once our register of members has been updated, the shareholders recorded in the register of members should be deemed to have legal title to the shares set against their name in the register of members.

        If the name of any person is incorrectly entered in or omitted from our register of members, or if there is any default or unnecessary delay in entering on the register the fact of any person having ceased to be a member of our company, the person or member aggrieved (or any member of our company or our company itself) may apply to the Cayman Islands Grand Court for an order that the register be rectified, and the Court may either refuse such application or it may, if satisfied of the justice of the case, make an order for the rectification of the register.

        Dividends.    The holders of our ordinary shares are entitled to such dividends as may be declared by our board of directors (provided always that dividends may be declared and paid only out of funds legally available therefor, namely out of either profit, retained earnings or our share premium account, and provided further that a dividend may not be paid if this would result in our company being unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business).

        Classes of Ordinary Shares.    Our ordinary shares are divided into Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares (and a further class of authorized but undesignated shares). Except for conversion rights and voting rights, the Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares should carry equal rights and rank pari passu with one another, including but not limited to the rights to dividends (subject to the ability of the board of directors, under our post-offering fourth amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, to determine that a dividend should be paid wholly or partly by the distribution of specific assets (which may consist of the shares or securities of any other company) and to settle all questions concerning such distribution (including fixing the value of such assets, determining that cash payment should be made to some shareholders in lieu of specific assets and vesting any such specific assets in trustees on such terms as the directors think fit)) and other capital distributions.

        Conversion.    Class B ordinary shares (i) may be converted into the same number of Class A ordinary shares by the holders thereof at any time; and (ii) will be converted automatically into the same number of Class A ordinary shares upon transfer by YX Major Limited. Class A ordinary shares cannot be converted into Class B ordinary shares under any circumstances. However, upon any transfer of Class B ordinary shares by the holders thereof to Mr. Tan or to any entity that is ultimately controlled by Mr. Tan, such Class B ordinary shares will not be automatically converted into Class A ordinary shares. Further, the creation of any pledge, charge, encumbrance or other third party right of whatever description on any Class B ordinary shares to secure a holder's contractual or legal obligations shall not be deemed as a sale, transfer, assignment or disposition unless and until any such pledge, charge, encumbrance or other third party right is enforced and results in the third party holding legal title to the relevant Class B ordinary shares, in which case all the related Class B

181


Table of Contents

ordinary shares shall be automatically converted into the same number of Class A ordinary shares.

        Voting Rights.    Holders of Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares should, at all times, vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote by the members at any general meeting of the Company. Each Class A ordinary share should be entitled to one vote on all matters subject to the vote at general meetings of our company, and each Class B ordinary share should be entitled to 10 votes on all matters subject to the vote at general meetings of our company. Voting at any meeting of shareholders is by show of hands unless a poll is demanded. A poll may be demanded by the chairman of such meeting or any one shareholder present in person or by proxy.

        Walkers (Hong Kong), our counsel as to Cayman Islands law, has advised that such voting structure is in compliance with current Cayman Islands law as in general terms, a company and its shareholders are free to provide in the articles of association for such rights as they consider appropriate, subject to such rights not being contrary to any provision of the Companies Law and not inconsistent with common law.

        An ordinary resolution to be passed by the shareholders requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes attached to the ordinary shares cast by those shareholders entitled to vote who are present in person or by proxy (or, in the case of corporations, by their duly authorized representatives) at a general meeting, while a special resolution requires the affirmative vote of a majority of no less than two-thirds of the votes attached to the ordinary shares cast by those shareholders who are present in person or by proxy (or, in the case of corporations, by their duly authorized representatives) at a general meeting. Both ordinary resolutions and special resolutions may also be passed by a unanimous written resolution signed by all the shareholders of our company, as permitted by the Companies Law and our memorandum and articles of association. A special resolution will be required for important matters such as a change of name or making changes to our memorandum and articles of association.

        Transfer of Ordinary Shares.    Any of our shareholders may transfer all or any of his or her ordinary shares by an instrument of transfer in the usual or common form or any other form approved by our board of directors.

        However, our board of directors may, in its absolute discretion, decline to register any transfer of any ordinary share which is not fully paid up or on which our company has a lien. Our board of directors may also decline to register any transfer of any ordinary share unless:

    the instrument of transfer is lodged with us, accompanied by the certificate for the ordinary shares to which it relates and such other evidence as our board of directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer;

    the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one class of shares;

    the instrument of transfer is properly stamped, if required;

    a fee of such maximum sum as the New York Stock Exchange may determine to be payable, or such lesser sum as the board of directors may from time to time require, is paid to the Company in respect thereof; and

    in the case of a transfer to joint holders, the transfer is not to more than four joint holders.

182


Table of Contents

        If our directors refuse to register a transfer they are required, within three months after the date on which the instrument of transfer was lodged, to send to each of the transferor and the transferee notice of such refusal.

        Liquidation.    On a return of capital on winding up or otherwise (other than on conversion, redemption or purchase of ordinary shares or, on a winding up, with the sanction of a special resolution of the Company and any other sanction required by the Companies Law), assets available for distribution among the holders of ordinary shares will be distributed among the holders of the ordinary shares on a pro rata basis (subject to, on a winding up where the assets available for distribution amongst the shareholders of the Company should be more than sufficient to repay the whole of the share capital at the commencement of the winding up, a deduction from ordinary shares in respect of which there are monies due of all monies payable to the Company for unpaid calls or otherwise). If our assets available for distribution are insufficient to repay all of the paid-up capital, the assets will be distributed so that, as nearly as may be, the losses are borne by our shareholders proportionately. We are a "limited liability" company registered under the Companies Law, and under the Companies Law, the liability of our members is limited to the amount, if any, unpaid on the shares respectively held by them. Our post-offering fourth amended and restated memorandum of association contains a declaration that the liability of our members is so limited.

        Calls on Ordinary Shares and Forfeiture of Ordinary shares.    Our board of directors may from time to time make calls upon shareholders for any amounts unpaid on their ordinary shares (together with any interests which may have accrued, or by the shareholders by special resolutions). The ordinary shares that have been called upon and remain unpaid are subject to forfeiture.

        Redemption, Repurchase and Surrender of Ordinary Shares.    We may issue shares on terms that such shares are subject to redemption, at our option or at the option of the holders thereof, on such terms and in such manner as may be determined, before the issue of such shares, by our board of directors or by an ordinary resolution of our shareholders. Our company may also repurchase any of our shares provided that the manner and terms of such purchase have been approved by our board of directors or by ordinary resolution of our shareholders, or are otherwise authorized by our memorandum and articles of association. Under the Companies Law, the redemption or repurchase of any share may be paid out of our company's profits or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose of such redemption or repurchase, or out of capital (including share premium account and capital redemption reserve) if our company can, immediately following such payment, pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. In addition, under the Companies Law no such share may be redeemed or repurchased (a) unless it is fully paid up, (b) if such redemption or repurchase would result in there being no shares outstanding other than shares held as treasury shares, or (c) if the company has commenced liquidation. In addition, our company may accept the surrender of any fully paid share for no consideration.

        Variations of Rights of Shares.    If at any time, our share capital is divided into different classes of shares, all or any of the attached to any such class may (subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class of share) only be materially adversely varied with the consent in writing of the holders of two-thirds of the issued shares of that class or with the sanction of a resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class by the holders of two-thirds of the issued shares of that class. The rights conferred upon the holders of the shares of any class issued with preferred or other rights will not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class, be deemed to be materially adversely varied by the creation or issue of further shares ranking

183


Table of Contents

pari passu with or subsequent to such existing class of shares or the redemption or purchase of any shares of any class by the Company. The rights of the holders of shares should not be deemed to be materially adversely varied by the creation or issue of shares with preferred or other rights including, without limitation, the creation of shares with enhanced or weighted voting rights.

        General Meetings of Shareholders and Shareholder Proposals.    As a Cayman Islands exempted company, we are not obliged by the Companies Law to call shareholders' annual general meetings. Our post-offering fourth amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that we may (but are not obliged to) in each year hold a general meeting as our annual general meeting in which case we should specify the meeting as such in the notices calling it, and the annual general meeting should be held at such time and place as may be determined by our directors.

        Shareholders' annual general meetings and any other general meetings of our shareholders may be convened by a majority of our board of directors or our chairman. Advance notice of at least seven calendar days is required for the convening of our annual general shareholders' meeting and any other general meeting of our shareholders. A quorum required for a general meeting of shareholders consists of one or more shareholders present or by proxy, representing not less than one-third in nominal value of the total issued voting shares in our company.

        Cayman Islands law provides shareholders with only limited rights to requisition a general meeting, and does not provide shareholders with any right to put any proposal before a general meeting. However, these rights may be provided in a company's articles of association. Our post-offering fourth amended and restated memorandum and articles of association allow our shareholders holding shares representing in aggregate not less than [one-third (1/3)] of all votes attaching to all issued and outstanding shares of the Company that as at the date of the deposit of such requisition carry the right to vote at general meetings of the Company, to requisition an extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders, in which case our directors are obliged to call such meeting and to put the resolutions so requisitioned to a vote at such meeting; however, our post-offering fourth amended and restated memorandum and articles of association do not provide our shareholders with any right to put any proposals before annual general meetings or extraordinary general meetings not called by such shareholders.

        Inspection of Books and Records.    Holders of our ordinary shares have no general right under Cayman Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of our list of shareholders or our corporate records. However, we intend to provide our shareholders with annual audited financial statements. See "Where You Can Find Additional Information."

        Changes in Capital.    Our shareholders may from time to time by ordinary resolution:

    increase our share capital by such sum, to be divided into shares of such classes and amount, as the resolution should prescribe;

    consolidate and divide all or any of our share capital into shares of a larger amount than our existing shares;

    sub-divide our existing shares, or any of them into shares of a smaller amount, provided that in the subdivision the proportion between the amount paid and the amount, if any, unpaid on each reduced share should be the same as it was in case of the share from which the reduced share is derived; or

184


Table of Contents

    cancel any shares which, at the date of the passing of the resolution, have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person and diminish the amount of our share capital by the amount of the shares so canceled.

        Our shareholders may by special resolution, subject to confirmation by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands on an application by our company for an order confirming such reduction, reduce our share capital or any capital redemption reserve in any manner permitted by law.

        Exempted Company.    We are an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands. The Companies Law in the Cayman Islands distinguishes between ordinary resident companies and exempted companies. Any company that is registered in the Cayman Islands but conducts business mainly outside of the Cayman Islands may apply to be registered as an exempted company. The requirements for an exempted company are essentially the same as for an ordinary company except for the exemptions and privileges listed below:

    an exempted company does not have to file an annual return of its shareholders with the Registrar of Companies;

    an exempted company's register of members is not required to be open to inspection;

    an exempted company does not have to hold an annual general meeting;

    an exempted company may issue no par value shares;

    an exempted company may obtain an undertaking against the imposition of any future taxation (such undertakings are usually given for 20 years in the first instance);

    an exempted company may register by way of continuation in another jurisdiction and be deregistered in the Cayman Islands;

    an exempted company may register as an exempted limited duration company; and

    an exempted company may register as a segregated portfolio company.

        "Limited liability" means that the liability of each shareholder is limited to the amount unpaid by the shareholder on that shareholder's shares of the company (except in exceptional circumstances, such as involving fraud, the establishment of an agency relationship or an illegal or improper purpose or other circumstances in which a court may be prepared to pierce or lift the corporate veil). Upon the closing of this offering, we will be subject to reporting and other informational requirements of the Exchange Act, as applicable to foreign private issuers. We intend to rely on the exemption available to foreign private issuers for the requirement that an audit committee be comprised of at least three members under New York Stock Exchange Rule 303A.07. We are not required to and will not voluntarily meet this requirement. Except as otherwise disclosed in this prospectus, we currently intend to comply with the New York Stock Exchange rules in lieu of following home country practice after the closing of this offering.

Differences in Corporate Law

        The Companies Law is derived, to a large extent, from the older Companies Acts of England but does not follow recent United Kingdom statutory enactments, and accordingly there are significant differences between the Companies Law and the current Companies Act of England. In addition, the Companies Law differs from laws applicable to United States corporations and their shareholders. Set forth below is a summary of the significant differences between the provisions of the Companies Law applicable to us and the

185


Table of Contents

comparable provisions of the laws applicable to companies incorporated in the United States and their shareholders.

        Mergers and Similar Arrangements.    The Companies Law permits mergers and consolidations between Cayman Islands companies and between Cayman Islands companies and non-Cayman Islands companies. For these purposes, (a) "merger" means the merging of two or more constituent companies and the vesting of their undertaking, property and liabilities in one of such companies as the surviving company and (b) a "consolidation" means the combination of two or more constituent companies into a combined company and the vesting of the undertaking, property and liabilities of such companies to the consolidated company. In order to effect such a merger or consolidation, the directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation, which must then be authorized by (a) a special resolution of the shareholders of each constituent company, and (b) such other authorization, if any, as may be specified in such constituent company's articles of association. The written plan of merger or consolidation must be filed with the Registrar of Companies together with a declaration as to the solvency of the consolidated or surviving company, a list of the assets and liabilities of each constituent company and an undertaking that a copy of the certificate of merger or consolidation will be given to the members and creditors of each constituent company and that notification of the merger or consolidation will be published in the Cayman Islands Gazette. Dissenting shareholders have the right to be paid the fair value of their shares (which, if not agreed between the parties, will be determined by the Cayman Islands court) if they follow the required procedures, subject to certain exceptions. Court approval is not required for a merger or consolidation which is effected in compliance with these statutory procedures.

        In addition, there are statutory provisions that facilitate the reconstruction and amalgamation of companies, provided that the arrangement is approved by a majority in number of each class of shareholders or creditors (representing 75% by value) with whom the arrangement is to be made and who must, in addition, represent three-fourths in value of each such class of shareholders or creditors, as the case may be, that are present and voting either in person or by proxy at a meeting, or meetings, convened for that purpose. The convening of the meetings and subsequently the arrangement must be sanctioned by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands. While a dissenting shareholder or creditor has the right to express to the court the view that the transaction ought not to be approved, the court would likely to approve the arrangement if it determines that:

    the statutory provisions as to the required majority vote have been met;

    the shareholders have been fairly represented at the meeting in question and the statutory majority are acting bona fide without coercion of the minority to promote interests adverse to those of the class;

    the arrangement is such that may be reasonably approved by an intelligent and honest man of that class acting in respect of his interest; and

    the arrangement is not one that would more properly be sanctioned under some other provision of the Companies Law.

        When a takeover offer is made and accepted by holders of 90% of the shares affected within four months, the offeror may, within a two-month period commencing on the expiration of such four-month period, require the holders of the remaining shares to transfer such shares on the terms of the offer. An objection can be made to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands but this is unlikely to succeed in the case of an offer which has been so approved unless there is evidence of fraud, bad faith or collusion.

186


Table of Contents

        If an arrangement and reconstruction is thus approved, the dissenting shareholder would have no rights comparable to appraisal rights, which would otherwise ordinarily be available to dissenting shareholders of Delaware corporations, providing rights to receive payment in cash for the judicially determined value of the shares.

        Shareholders' Suits.    In principle, we will normally be the proper plaintiff and as a general rule a derivative action may not be brought by a minority shareholder. However, based on English authorities, which would in all likelihood be of persuasive authority in the Cayman Islands, the Cayman Islands court can be expected to apply and follow the common law principles (namely the rule in Foss v. Harbottle and the exceptions thereto) which permit a minority shareholder to commence a class action against, or derivative actions in the name of, a company to challenge the following:

    an act which is illegal or ultra vires;

    an act which, although not ultra vires, could only be effected duly if authorized by a special or qualified majority vote that has not been obtained; and

    an act which constitutes a fraud on the minority where the wrongdoers are themselves in control of the company.

        Indemnification of Directors and Executive Officers and Limitation of Liability.    Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company's articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Our post-offering fourth amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that our directors and officers should be indemnified against all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities incurred or sustained by such director or officer, other than by reason of such person's own dishonesty, willful default or fraud, in or about the conduct of our company's business or affairs (including as a result of any mistake of judgment) or in the execution or discharge of his duties, powers, authorities or discretions, including without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, any costs, expenses, losses or liabilities incurred by such director or officer in defending (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil proceedings concerning our company or its affairs in any court whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere. This standard of conduct is generally the same as permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law for a Delaware corporation. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers that will provide such persons with additional indemnification beyond that provided in our post-offering fourth amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.

        Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or persons controlling us under the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

        Anti-Takeover Provisions in the Memorandum and Articles of Association.    Some provisions of our post-offering fourth amended and restated memorandum and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company or management that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preferred shares in one or more series and to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preferred shares without any further vote or action by our shareholders.

187

        However, under Cayman Islands law, our directors may only exercise the rights and powers granted to them under our memorandum and articles of association, as amended and restated from time to time, for a proper purpose and for what they believe in good faith to be in the best interests of our company.

        Directors' Fiduciary Duties.    Under Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its shareholders. This duty has two components: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent person would exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of and disclose to shareholders, all material information reasonably available regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation. He or she must not use his or her corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits self-dealing by a director and mandates that the best interest of the corporation and its shareholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling shareholder and not shared by the shareholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the action taken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should such evidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction and that the transaction was of fair value to the corporation.

        As a matter of Cayman Islands law, a director of a Cayman Islands company is in the position of a fiduciary with respect to the company and therefore he owes the following duties to the company—a duty to act in good faith in the best interests of the company, a duty not to make a personal profit based on his or her position as director (unless the company permits him to do so), a duty not to put himself in a position where the interests of the company conflict with his or her personal interest or his or her duty to a third party and a duty to exercise powers for the purpose for which such powers were intended. A director of a Cayman Islands company owes to the company a duty to act with skill and care. It was previously considered that a director need not exhibit in the performance of his or her duties a greater degree of skill than may reasonably be expected from a person of his or her knowledge and experience. However, English and Commonwealth courts have moved towards an objective standard with regard to the required skill and care and these authorities are likely to be followed in the Cayman Islands.

        Controlling Shareholder's Fiduciary Duties.    Under the laws of some jurisdictions in the United States, such as Delaware corporate law, majority and controlling shareholders generally have certain fiduciary responsibilities to the minority shareholders. Shareholder action must be taken in good faith, and actions by controlling shareholders which are obviously unreasonable may be declared null and void. Therefore, conduct that may give rise to an oppression claim in other jurisdictions may give rise to a breach of fiduciary duty claim in Delaware. On the contrary, a controlling shareholder does not owe any fiduciary duties to a company and its minority shareholders under Cayman Islands law. Protections available to shareholders of a Delaware company such as the right to inspect corporate records and the right to obtain copies of lists of shareholders of the company are generally not available for shareholders of a Cayman Islands exempted company. As a result, the ability of minority shareholders of a Cayman Islands company to protect their interest may be limited compared to that of shareholders of a Delaware company.

188


Table of Contents

        Shareholder Proposals.    Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a shareholder has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided it complies with the notice provisions in the governing documents. The Delaware General Corporation Law does not provide shareholders an express right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, but in keeping with common law, Delaware corporations generally afford shareholders an opportunity to make proposals and nominations provided that they comply with the notice provisions in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the governing documents, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings.

        Cayman Islands law provides shareholders with only limited rights to requisition a general meeting, and does not provide shareholders with any right to put any proposal before a general meeting. However, these rights may be provided in a company's articles of association. Our post-offering fourth amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that, on the requisition of shareholders holding shares representing in aggregate not less than [one-third (1/3)] of all votes attaching to all issued and outstanding shares of the Company that as at the date of the deposit of such requisition carry the right to vote at general meetings of the Company, the board should convene an extraordinary general meeting. However, our post-offering fourth amended and restated memorandum and articles of association do not provide our shareholders with any right to put any proposals before annual general meetings or extraordinary general meetings not called by such shareholders. As an exempted Cayman Islands company, we are not obliged by law to call shareholders' annual general meetings.

        Cumulative Voting.    Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the corporation's certificate of incorporation specifically provides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders on a board of directors since it permits the minority shareholder to cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled on a single director, which increases the shareholder's voting power with respect to electing such director. Cayman Islands law does not prohibit cumulative voting, but our post-offering articles of association do not provide for cumulative voting. As a result, our shareholders are not afforded any less protections or rights on this issue than shareholders of a Delaware corporation.

        Appointment of Directors.    The board of directors may, by the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the remaining directors present and voting at a meeting of the board of directors, appoint any person as a director, to fill a casual vacancy on the board of directors that is not a director appointed by YX Major Limited or as an addition to the existing board of directors. A vacancy on the board of directors created by the removal of a director who is not appointed by YX Major Limited may be filled by way of an ordinary resolution of the Company's shareholders or by the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the remaining directors present and voting at a meeting of the board of directors.

        Each director whose term of office expires should be eligible for re-election at a meeting of the Company's shareholders or re-appointment by the board of directors.

        Removal of Directors.    Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a director of a corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under our post-offering fourth amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, directors not appointed by YX Major Limited may be removed by ordinary resolution of our shareholders or pursuant to an existing written agreement between the director and the Company.

Table of Contents

        Transactions with Interested Shareholders.    The Delaware General Corporation Law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware public corporations whereby, unless the corporation has specifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation or bylaws that is approved by its shareholders, it is prohibited from engaging in certain business combinations with an "interested shareholder" for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholder generally is a person or a group who or which owns or owned 15% or more of the target's outstanding voting stock or who or which is an affiliate or associate of the corporation and owned 15% or more of the corporation's outstanding voting stock within the past three years. This has the effect of limiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a two-tiered bid for the target in which all shareholders would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if, among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the board of directors approves either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquirer of a Delaware corporation to negotiate the terms of any acquisition transaction with the target's board of directors.

        Cayman Islands law has no comparable statute. As a result, we cannot avail ourselves of the types of protections afforded by the Delaware business combination statute. However, although Cayman Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, it does provide that such transactions must be entered into bona fide in the best interests of the company and for a proper corporate purpose and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on the minority shareholders.

        Dissolution; Winding Up.    Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding 100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of the corporation's outstanding shares. Delaware law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a super-majority voting requirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board.

        Under Cayman Islands law, a company may be wound up by either an order of the courts of the Cayman Islands or by a special resolution of its members or, if the company is unable to pay its debts as they fall due, by an ordinary resolution of its members. The court has authority to order winding up in a number of specified circumstances including where it is, in the opinion of the court, just and equitable to do so.

        Variation of Rights of Shares.    Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of such class, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under our post-offering articles of association, if our share capital is divided into more than one class of shares, we may only materially adversely vary the rights attached to any class (subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class of share) with the consent in writing of the holders of two-thirds of the issued shares of that class or with the sanction of a resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class by the holders of two-thirds of the issued shares of that class.

        Amendment of Governing Documents.    Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation's certificate of incorporation may be amended only if adopted and declared advisable by the board of directors and approved by a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote and the bylaws may be amended with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote and may, if so provided in the certificate of incorporation,

190


Table of Contents

also be amended by the board of directors. Under the Companies Law, our memorandum and articles of association may only be amended by special resolution of our shareholders.

        Rights of Non-Resident or Foreign Shareholders.    There are no limitations imposed by our post-offering memorandum and articles of association on the rights of non-resident or foreign shareholders to hold or exercise voting rights on our shares. In addition, there are no provisions in our post-offering fourth amended and restated memorandum and articles of association governing the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed.

        Directors' Power to Issue Shares.    Under our post-offering fourth amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, our board of directors is empowered to issue or allot shares or grant options and warrants with or without preferred, deferred, qualified or other special rights or restrictions.

        At the closing of the Zhong Ping Transactions and the Lugu Transaction in March 2019, we entered into a shareholders agreement with all of our then-current shareholders.

191


Table of Contents

The holders of a majority of the outstanding ordinary shares, voting together as a single class, were entitled to appoint two directors. This shareholders agreement will terminate upon consummation of this offering other than provisions with respect to registration rights.

        The shareholders agreement also provided for certain preferential rights, including right of first offer, tag-along rights and preemptive rights. Except for the registration rights, all the preferential rights, as well as the provisions that govern the board of directors, will automatically terminate upon the completion of this offering.

        Pursuant to this shareholders agreement, we granted certain registration rights to our then-current shareholders. Set forth below is a description of the registration rights granted under the agreement.

        Demand Registration Rights.    The holders of the Series A preferred shares have the right to demand that we file a registration statement covering the registration of any registrable securities of such holders. We are not obligated to process more than two demand registrations initiated by the holders of the Series A preferred shares, other than demand registration to be effected pursuant to registration statement on Form F-3, for which an unlimited number of demand registrations should be permitted.

        Piggyback Registration Rights.    If we propose to file a registration statement for a public offering of our securities, we must offer holders of our registrable securities an opportunity to include in the registration the number of registrable securities of the same class or series as those proposed to be registered. 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 (i) all of the registrable securities in our initial public offering, or (ii) 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 our company).

        Form F-3 Registration Rights.    The holders of the Series A preferred shares have the right to request us in writing to file an unlimited number of registration statements on Form F-3.

        Expenses of Registration.    We bear all registration expenses, other than underwriting discounts and selling commissions incurred in connection with any demand or F-3 registration.

Series B and Series C Preferential Rights

        Conversion Options.    The holders of Series B preferred shares and Series C preferred shares may at any time (a) prior to the initial public offering, or the IPO, convert all or part of their outstanding preferred shares into Class A ordinary shares; (b) upon or after an IPO but prior to the 180th day after the effective date of the registration statement, or the Post-IPO Option Date, convert all or part of their outstanding preferred shares into Class A ordinary shares; or (c) no later than five business days following the Post-IPO Option Date, convert all of their outstanding preferred shares to Class A ordinary shares pursuant to the second paragraph under "Automatic Conversions" below. The conversion rights are subject to certain conditions as described below.

        Automatic Conversions.    If preferred shares of Series B or Series C, as the case may be, remain outstanding at the Post-IPO Option Date, and all of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) both the Average Stock Price and Consecutive Stock Price reach 130% of the

192


Table of Contents

relevant Conversion Price then in effect; (ii) the total equity valuation of the Company is no less than US$500 million; and (iii) the conversion of the preferred shares will not result in the total post-conversion shareholding percentage of such preferred shareholder exceeding 11.25% of the Company's pre-IPO total equity, with respect to Series B preferred shareholder, or 3.75% of the Company's pre-IPO total equity, with respect to Series C preferred shareholder, then all of the outstanding preferred shares of that series shall automatically be converted into Class A ordinary shares at the Conversion Price then in effect.

        If the conditions above are not satisfied on the Post-IPO Option Date, then the Series B and Series C preferred share holders may either request the Company to convert all of its outstanding preferred shares at the relevant Conversion Price then in effect, or request the Company to redeem (at the price set forth in "—Redemption Rights") all of its outstanding preferred shares within five business days.

        If a preferred shareholder does not exercise its option to convert its preferred shares mentioned under "Conversion Options" within five business days following the Post-IPO Option Date, then all of the outstanding preferred shares for the applicable series shall automatically be converted into Class A ordinary shares at the relevant Conversion Price then in effect.

        Average Stock Price means the average closing price at which the stock of the Company trades upon the closing of the stock exchange for 20 consecutive trading days prior to the Post-IPO Option Date (including the Post-IPO Option Date).

        Consecutive Stock Price means each closing price at which the stock of the Company trades upon the closing of the stock exchange for the last five consecutive trading days prior to the Post-IPO Option Date (including the Post-IPO Option Date).

        Conversion Price.    Series B preferred shares and Series C preferred shares are converted into Class A ordinary shares by dividing the original purchase price for such preferred share by the then-effective Conversion Price for such preferred share. The original purchase price was US$15 million and US$5 million for the Series B preferred shares and Series C preferred shares, respectively. The Conversion Price is equal to a price determined by dividing the applicable Pre-Money Valuation by 10,000,000. The Pre-Money Valuation equals the lower of US$385 million and 15 times our 2019 Audited Net Earnings.

        If our 2019 Audited Net Earnings are not available when the Series B preferred shareholder or the Series C preferred shareholder exercises their respective conversion rights prior to the IPO, then the Series B preferred shareholder and the Series C preferred shareholder may exercise the conversion option based on the Pre-Money Valuation of US$385 million. Once our 2019 Audited Net Earnings become available after the conversion and the Pre-Money Valuation is less than US$327.25 million, our shareholders immediately prior to the subscription of Series B preferred shares by Series B preferred shareholder shall transfer, on a pro rata basis, to the Series B preferred shareholder or the Series C preferred shareholder a number of additional Class A ordinary shares, or the Compensation Shares, such that the total number of converted Class A ordinary shares would be equivalent to the number of Class A ordinary shares convertible had the Conversion Price been calculated based on the Pre-Money Valuation of 15 times our 2019 Audited Net Earnings. In the event that the such shareholders of the Company fail to transfer all or part of the Compensation Shares to the Series B preferred shareholder or the Series C preferred shareholder, Mr. Tan shall transfer the shortfall of the Compensation Shares to the Series B preferred shareholder or the Series C preferred shareholder.

193


Table of Contents

        If the Series B preferred shareholder or the Series C preferred shareholder exercises conversion options upon or after the IPO or with respect to an automatic conversion, the then-effective Conversion Price shall be determined based on the Pre-Money Valuation of US$385 million, if the 2019 Audited Net Earnings are not available upon conversion.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the total post-conversion shareholding percentage of the Series B preferred shareholder exceed 11.25% of the Company's pre-IPO total equity on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis; and in no event will the total post-conversion shareholding percentage of the Series C preferred shareholder exceed 3.75% of the Company's pre-IPO total equity on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis.

        Audited Net Earnings.    The audited consolidated net earnings of the company of a fiscal year (adjusted for any one-off and extraordinary items and excluding employee benefit plan related costs) shown on the audited consolidated financial statements of the company.

        Dividend Rights.    We will not be required to pay any dividends to the Series B preferred shareholder or the Series C preferred shareholder in a fiscal year as long as we have not paid any dividends to the ordinary shareholders. If any dividends are paid to the ordinary shareholders, then the Series B preferred shareholder and the Series C preferred shareholder will also receive a dividend on each of their outstanding preferred share in an amount equal to the product of (A) the dividend payable on each ordinary share; multiplied by (B) the number of Class A ordinary shares convertible from such preferred share. The aforementioned dividend rights enjoyed by the Series B preferred shareholder and the Series C preferred shareholder will survive the initial public offering, or the IPO, if any of their preferred shares remain outstanding after the IPO.

        Redemption Rights.    Upon the occurrence of certain redemption events, each of the Series B preferred shareholder or the Series C preferred shareholder may at its option request that we redeem all of the outstanding preferred shares held by it at an aggregate redemption price that provides such preferred shareholder 12.5% internal rate of return, or IRR, on the original purchase price for the outstanding preferred shares to be redeemed for the period during which such outstanding preferred shares remain outstanding (for the avoidance of doubt, any dividend paid will be included in the calculation of the redemption price).

        The redemption events include: (i) Mr. Tan's and/or our non-conformity with the Undertakings and Covenants (as defined in the Series B Preferred Shares Purchase Agreement and Series C Preferred Shares Purchase Agreement, as the case may be) and the Series B preferred shareholder or the Series C preferred shareholder does not waive such non-conformity; (ii) our failure to enable the deposit of any and all of the Class A ordinary shares converted from the preferred shares held by the Series B preferred shareholder or the Series C preferred shareholder with the depositary for the issuance of American depositary shares; (iii) any dividend distribution that will cause the total amount of dividends paid to the ordinary shareholders in a fiscal year to exceed 60% of our Audited Net Earnings of such fiscal year, and the Series B preferred shareholder or the Series C preferred shareholder does not consent to such dividend distribution; (iv) our failure to enter into a registration rights agreement with the Series B preferred shareholder or the Series C preferred shareholder prior to the IPO or with respect to the redemption right of Series B preferred shareholder our breach of the covenant that Series B preferred shareholder has the right to cause us to use best efforts to effect the registration of Class A ordinary shares converted from the preferred shares held by the Series B preferred shareholder; (v) the failure to satisfy the conditions described in the Automatic Conversions; (vi) the provision of any guarantee (by any of the Guarantors as defined in the Series B and Series C Preferred Shares Purchase Agreement) that would not be subordinate to the guaranteed obligations owed to the Series B preferred

shareholder or the Series C preferred shareholder (as the case may be) prior to the IPO, and the Series B preferred shareholder or the Series C preferred shareholder (as the case may be) does not consent to such further guarantees; or (vii) with respect to the redemption right of Series B preferred shareholder, if the Pre-Money Valuation as determined in "Conversion Price" above results in the total post-conversion shareholding percentage of the Series B preferred shareholder exceeding 11.25% of the Company's pre-IPO total equity on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis and with respect to the redemption right of Series C preferred shareholder, if the Pre-Money Valuation as determined in "Conversion Price" above results in the total post-conversion shareholding percentage of the Series C preferred shareholder exceeding 3.75% of the Company's pre-IPO total equity on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis.

        The Series B preferred shareholder and the Series C preferred shareholder's redemption rights relating to their preferred shares under (ii), (iv) above shall survive the IPO until the applicable Mandatory Redemption Date; and redemptions rights under (v) and (vii) above shall survive the IPO until five business days following the Post-IPO Option Date. On the other hand, the Series B preferred shareholder and the Series C preferred shareholder's redemption rights relating to their preferred shares under (i) (other than the redemption right triggered by the Undertakings and Covenants that are covered in (ii) above), (iii) and (vi) above shall terminate upon the consummation of the IPO even if any preferred shares remain outstanding after the IPO, save that such redemption rights shall not terminate in the event of fraud or material misrepresentations on the part of us and/or Mr. Tan in connection with the redemption rights. In the event we fail to pay the redemption price on a timely basis, we will be liable for 10% per annum compounded monthly on all outstanding amounts due from the date such payment becomes due and payable until repayment in full.

        In addition, if until the second anniversary of the closing of the Rainflower Transaction or the EP Next China Transaction, or the Mandatory Redemption Date as applicable to the Series B preferred shareholder or the Series C preferred shareholder, any of the Series B or Series C preferred shares remain outstanding, we shall redeem all of the outstanding Series B held by the Series B preferred shareholder or all of the outstanding Series C preferred shares held by the Series C preferred shareholder, as applicable, at an aggregate redemption price that provides the Series B preferred shareholder or the Series C preferred shareholder with 12.5% IRR on the original purchase price for the outstanding preferred shares to be redeemed for the period during which such outstanding preferred shares remain outstanding (for the avoidance of doubt, any dividend paid will be included in the calculation of the redemption price).

        Redemption Option of the Company.    We may at our discretion redeem up to 50% of the outstanding Series B or Series C preferred shares, as the case may be, prior to the applicable Mandatory Redemption Date, at an aggregate redemption price that provides the Series B preferred shareholder or the Series C preferred shareholder with the higher of (i) a net cash return of US$2 million with respect to the Series B preferred shareholder or US$667,000 with respect to the Series C preferred shareholder and (ii) 12.5% IRR on the original purchase price for the outstanding preferred shares to be redeemed for the period during which such outstanding preferred shares remain outstanding (for the avoidance of doubt, any dividend paid will be included in the calculation of the redemption price).

        Registration Rights.    On September 27, 2019, we entered into a registration rights agreement with holders of Series C preferred shares. On October 23, 2019, we entered into a registration rights agreement with holders of Series B preferred shares. Set forth below is a description of the registration rights granted under the two registration rights agreements.

195


Table of Contents

        Demand Registration Rights.    The holders of the Series B preferred shares and the Series C preferred shares have the right to demand that we file a registration statement covering the registration of any registrable securities of such holders. We are not obligated to process more than five demand registrations initiated by the holders of the Series B preferred shares, and two demand registrations initiated by the holders of the Series C preferred shares.

        Piggyback Registration Rights.    If we propose to file a registration statement for a public offering of our securities, we must offer holders of our registrable securities an opportunity to include in the registration the number of registrable securities of the same class or series as those proposed to be registered. 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 (i) all of the registrable securities in our initial public offering, or (ii) 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 our company).

        Form F-3 Registration Rights.    The holders of the Series B preferred shares have the right to request us in writing to file no more than five registration statements on Form F-3; the holders of the Series C preferred shares have the right to request us in writing to file no more than two registration statements on Form F-3.

        Expenses of Registration.    We bear all registration expenses, other than underwriting discounts and selling commissions incurred in connection with any demand or F-3 registration (except that after we have effected three demand registrations for a holder of Series B preferred shares, such holder should bear the expense of any further demand registration).

DESCRIPTION OF AMERICAN DEPOSITARY SHARES

American Depositary Shares

        The Bank of New York Mellon, as depositary, will register and deliver American Depositary Shares, also referred to as ADSs. Each ADS will represent           shares (or a right to receive           shares) deposited with The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, as custodian for the depositary in Hong Kong. Each ADS will also represent any other securities, cash or other property that may be held by the depositary. The deposited shares together with any other securities, cash or other property held by the depositary are referred to as the deposited securities. The depositary's office at which the ADSs will be administered and its principal executive office are located at 240 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10286.

        You may hold ADSs either (A) directly (i) by having an American Depositary Receipt, also referred to as an ADR, which is a certificate evidencing a specific number of ADSs, registered in your name, or (ii) by having uncertificated ADSs registered in your name, or (B) indirectly by holding a security entitlement in ADSs through your broker or other financial institution that is a direct or indirect participant in The Depository Trust Company, also called DTC. If you hold ADSs directly, you are a registered ADS holder, also referred to as an ADS holder. This description assumes you are an ADS holder. If you hold the ADSs indirectly, you must rely on the procedures of your broker or other financial institution to assert the rights of ADS holders described in this section. You should consult with your broker or financial institution to find out what those procedures are.

        Registered holders of uncertificated ADSs will receive statements from the depositary confirming their holdings.

        As an ADS holder, we will not treat you as one of our shareholders and you will not have shareholder rights. Cayman Islands law governs shareholder rights. The depositary will be the holder of the shares underlying your ADSs. As a registered holder of ADSs, you will have ADS holder rights. A deposit agreement among us, the depositary, ADS holders and all other persons indirectly or beneficially holding ADSs sets out ADS holder rights as well as the rights and obligations of the depositary. New York law governs the deposit agreement and the ADSs.

        The following is a summary of the material provisions of the deposit agreement. For more complete information, you should read the entire deposit agreement and the form of ADR. Directions on how to obtain copies of those documents are provided in "Where You Can Find More Information."

Dividends and Other Distributions

How will you receive dividends and other distributions on the shares?

        The depositary has agreed to pay or distribute to ADS holders the cash dividends or other distributions it or the custodian receives on shares or other deposited securities, upon payment or deduction of its fees and expenses. You will receive these distributions in proportion to the number of shares your ADSs represent.

        Cash.    The depositary will convert any cash dividend or other cash distribution we pay on the shares into U.S. dollars, if it can do so on a reasonable basis and can transfer the U.S. dollars to the United States. If that is not possible or if any government approval is needed and cannot be obtained, the deposit agreement allows the depositary to distribute the foreign currency only to those ADS holders to whom it is possible to do so. It will hold the foreign

197


Table of Contents

currency it cannot convert for the account of the ADS holders who have not been paid. It will not invest the foreign currency and it will not be liable for any interest.

        Before making a distribution, any withholding taxes, or other governmental charges that must be paid will be deducted. See "Taxation". The depositary will distribute only whole U.S. dollars and cents and will round fractional cents to the nearest whole cent. If the exchange rates fluctuate during a time when the depositary cannot convert the foreign currency, you may lose some of the value of the distribution.

        Shares.    The depositary may distribute additional ADSs representing any shares we distribute as a dividend or free distribution. The depositary will only distribute whole ADSs. It will sell shares which would require it to deliver a fraction of an ADS (or ADSs representing those shares) and distribute the net proceeds in the same way as it does with cash. If the depositary does not distribute additional ADSs, the outstanding ADSs will also represent the new shares. The depositary may sell a portion of the distributed shares (or ADSs representing those shares) sufficient to pay its fees and expenses in connection with that distribution.

        Rights to purchase additional shares.    If we offer holders of our securities any rights to subscribe for additional shares or any other rights, the depositary may (i) exercise those rights on behalf of ADS holders, (ii) distribute those rights to ADS holders or (iii) sell those rights and distribute the net proceeds to ADS holders, in each case after deduction or upon payment of its fees and expenses. To the extent the depositary does not do any of those things, it will allow the rights to lapse. In that case, you will receive no value for them. The depositary will exercise or distribute rights only if we ask it to and provide satisfactory assurances to the depositary that it is legal to do so. If the depositary will exercise rights, it will purchase the securities to which the rights relate and distribute those securities or, in the case of shares, new ADSs representing the new shares, to subscribing ADS holders, but only if ADS holders have paid the exercise price to the depositary. U.S. securities laws may restrict the ability of the depositary to distribute rights or ADSs or other securities issued on exercise of rights to all or certain ADS holders, and the securities distributed may be subject to restrictions on transfer.

        Other Distributions.    The depositary will send to ADS holders anything else we distribute on deposited securities by any means it thinks is legal, fair and practical. If it cannot make the distribution in that way, the depositary has a choice. It may decide to sell what we distributed and distribute the net proceeds, in the same way as it does with cash. Or, it may decide to hold what we distributed, in which case ADSs will also represent the newly distributed property. However, the depositary is not required to distribute any securities (other than ADSs) to ADS holders unless it receives satisfactory evidence from us that it is legal to make that distribution. The depositary may sell a portion of the distributed securities or property sufficient to pay its fees and expenses in connection with that distribution. U.S. securities laws may restrict the ability of the depositary to distribute securities to all or certain ADS holders, and the securities distributed may be subject to restrictions on transfer.

        The depositary is not responsible if it decides that it is unlawful or impractical to make a distribution available to any ADS holders. We have no obligation to register ADSs, shares, rights or other securities under the Securities Act. We also have no obligation to take any other action to permit the distribution of ADSs, shares, rights or anything else to ADS holders. This means that you may not receive the distributions we make on our shares or any value for them if it is illegal or impractical for us to make them available to you.

Deposit, Withdrawal and Cancellation

How are ADSs issued?

        The depositary will deliver ADSs if you or your broker deposits shares or evidence of rights to receive shares with the custodian. Upon payment of its fees and expenses and of any taxes or charges, such as stamp taxes or stock transfer taxes or fees, the depositary will register the appropriate number of ADSs in the names you request and will deliver the ADSs to or upon the order of the person or persons that made the deposit.

How can ADS holders withdraw the deposited securities?

        You may surrender your ADSs to the depositary for the purpose of withdrawal. Upon payment of its fees and expenses and of any taxes or charges, such as stamp taxes or stock transfer taxes or fees, the depositary will deliver the shares and any other deposited securities underlying the ADSs to the ADS holder or a person the ADS holder designates at the office of the custodian. Or, at your request, risk and expense, the depositary will deliver the deposited securities at its office, if feasible. However, the depositary is not required to accept surrender of ADSs to the extent it would require delivery of a fraction of a deposited share or other security. The depositary may charge you a fee and its expenses for instructing the custodian regarding delivery of deposited securities.

How do ADS holders interchange between certificated ADSs and uncertificated ADSs?

        You may surrender your ADR to the depositary for the purpose of exchanging your ADR for uncertificated ADSs. The depositary will cancel that ADR and will send to the ADS holder a statement confirming that the ADS holder is the registered holder of uncertificated ADSs. Upon receipt by the depositary of a proper instruction from a registered holder of uncertificated ADSs requesting the exchange of uncertificated ADSs for certificated ADSs, the depositary will execute and deliver to the ADS holder an ADR evidencing those ADSs.

Voting Rights

How do you vote?

        ADS holders may instruct the depositary how to vote the number of deposited shares their ADSs represent. If we request the depositary to solicit your voting instructions (and we are not required to do so), the depositary will notify you of a shareholders' meeting and send or make voting materials available to you. Those materials will describe the matters to be voted on and explain how ADS holders may instruct the depositary how to vote. For instructions to be valid, they must reach the depositary by a date set by the depositary. The depositary will try, as far as practical, subject to the laws of the Cayman Islands and the provisions of our articles of association or similar documents, to vote or to have its agents vote the shares or other deposited securities as instructed by ADS holders. If we do not request the depositary to solicit your voting instructions, you can still send voting instructions, and, in that case, the depositary may try to vote as you instruct, but it is not required to do so.

        Except by instructing the depositary as described above, you won't be able to exercise voting rights unless you surrender your ADSs and withdraw the shares. However, you may not know about the meeting enough in advance to withdraw the shares. In any event, the depositary will not exercise any discretion in voting deposited securities and it will only vote or attempt to vote as instructed.

199


Table of Contents

        We cannot assure you that you will receive the voting materials in time to ensure that you can instruct the depositary to vote your shares. In addition, the depositary and its agents are not responsible for failing to carry out voting instructions or for the manner of carrying out voting instructions. This means that you may not be able to exercise voting rights and there may be nothing you can do if your shares are not voted as you requested.

        In order to give you a reasonable opportunity to instruct the depositary as to the exercise of voting rights relating to Deposited Securities, if we request the Depositary to act, we agree to give the depositary notice of any such meeting and details concerning the matters to be voted upon at least [45] days in advance of the meeting date.

Any charges incurred by the depositary or its agents for servicing the deposited securities

 

As necessary

   

        The depositary collects its fees for delivery and surrender of ADSs directly from investors depositing shares or surrendering ADSs for the purpose of withdrawal or from intermediaries acting for them. The depositary collects fees for making distributions to investors by deducting those fees from the amounts distributed or by selling a portion of distributable property to pay the fees. The depositary may collect its annual fee for depositary services by deduction from cash distributions or by directly billing investors or by charging the book-entry system accounts of participants acting for them. The depositary may collect any of its fees by deduction from any cash distribution payable (or by selling a portion of securities or other property distributable) to ADS holders that are obligated to pay those fees. The depositary

200


Table of Contents

may generally refuse to provide fee-attracting services until its fees for those services are paid.

        From time to time, the depositary may make payments to us to reimburse us for costs and expenses generally arising out of establishment and maintenance of the ADS program, waive fees and expenses for services provided to us by the depositary or share revenue from the fees collected from ADS holders. In performing its duties under the deposit agreement, the depositary may use brokers, dealers, foreign currency dealers or other service providers that are owned by or affiliated with the depositary and that may earn or share fees, spreads or commissions.

        The depositary may convert currency itself or through any of its affiliates and, in those cases, acts as principal for its own account and not as agent, advisor, broker or fiduciary on behalf of any other person and earns revenue, including, without limitation, transaction spreads, that it will retain for its own account. The revenue is based on, among other things, the difference between the exchange rate assigned to the currency conversion made under the deposit agreement and the rate that the depositary or its affiliate receives when buying or selling foreign currency for its own account. The depositary makes no representation that the exchange rate used or obtained in any currency conversion under the deposit agreement will be the most favorable rate that could be obtained at the time or that the method by which that rate will be determined will be the most favorable to ADS holders, subject to the depositary's obligations under the deposit agreement. The methodology used to determine exchange rates used in currency conversions is available upon request.

Payment of Taxes

        You will be responsible for any taxes or other governmental charges payable on your ADSs or on the deposited securities represented by any of your ADSs. The depositary may refuse to register any transfer of your ADSs or allow you to withdraw the deposited securities represented by your ADSs until those taxes or other charges are paid. It may apply payments owed to you or sell deposited securities represented by your ADSs to pay any taxes owed and you will remain liable for any deficiency. If the depositary sells deposited securities, it will, if appropriate, reduce the number of ADSs to reflect the sale and pay to ADS holders any proceeds, or send to ADS holders any property, remaining after it has paid the taxes.

Tender and Exchange Offers; Redemption, Replacement or Cancellation of Deposited Securities

        The depositary will not tender deposited securities in any voluntary tender or exchange offer unless instructed to do by an ADS holder surrendering ADSs and subject to any conditions or procedures the depositary may establish.

        If deposited securities are redeemed for cash in a transaction that is mandatory for the depositary as a holder of deposited securities, the depositary will call for surrender of a corresponding number of ADSs and distribute the net redemption money to the holders of called ADSs upon surrender of those ADSs.

        If there is any change in the deposited securities such as a sub-division, combination or other reclassification, or any merger, consolidation, recapitalization or reorganization affecting the issuer of deposited securities in which the depositary receives new securities in exchange for or in lieu of the old deposited securities, the depositary will hold those replacement securities as deposited securities under the deposit agreement. However, if the depositary decides it would not be lawful and practical to hold the replacement securities because those securities could not be distributed to ADS holders or for any other reason, the depositary may

201


Table of Contents

instead sell the replacement securities and distribute the net proceeds upon surrender of the ADSs.

        If there is a replacement of the deposited securities and the depositary will continue to hold the replacement securities, the depositary may distribute new ADSs representing the new deposited securities or ask you to surrender your outstanding ADRs in exchange for new ADRs identifying the new deposited securities.

        If there are no deposited securities underlying ADSs, including if the deposited securities are cancelled, or if the deposited securities underlying ADSs have become apparently worthless, the depositary may call for surrender or of those ADSs or cancel those ADSs upon notice to the ADS holders.

Amendment and Termination

How may the deposit agreement be amended?

        We may agree with the depositary to amend the deposit agreement and the ADRs without your consent for any reason. If an amendment adds or increases fees or charges, except for taxes and other governmental charges or expenses of the depositary for registration fees, facsimile costs, delivery charges or similar items, or prejudices a substantial right of ADS holders, it will not become effective for outstanding ADSs until 30 days after the depositary notifies ADS holders of the amendment. At the time an amendment becomes effective, you are considered, by continuing to hold your ADSs, to agree to the amendment and to be bound by the ADRs and the deposit agreement as amended.

How may the deposit agreement be terminated?

        The depositary will initiate termination of the deposit agreement if we instruct it to do so. The depositary may initiate termination of the deposit agreement if:

    60 days have passed since the depositary told us it wants to resign but a successor depositary has not been appointed and accepted its appointment;

    we delist the ADSs from an exchange in the United States on which they were listed and do not list the ADSs on another exchange in the United States or make arrangements for trading of ADSs on the U.S. over-the-counter market;

    we delist our shares from an exchange outside the United States on which they were listed and do not list the shares on another exchange outside the United States;

    the depositary has reason to believe the ADSs have become, or will become, ineligible for registration on Form F-6 under the Securities Act of 1933;

    we appear to be insolvent or enter insolvency proceedings;

    all or substantially all the value of the deposited securities has been distributed either in cash or in the form of securities;

    there are no deposited securities underlying the ADSs or the underlying deposited securities have become apparently worthless; or

    there has been a replacement of deposited securities.

        If the deposit agreement will terminate, the depositary will notify ADS holders at least 90 days before the termination date. At any time after the termination date, the depositary may sell the deposited securities. After that, the depositary will hold the money it received on the sale, as well as any other cash it is holding under the deposit agreement, unsegregated

202


Table of Contents

and without liability for interest, for the pro rata benefit of the ADS holders that have not surrendered their ADSs. Normally, the depositary will sell as soon as practicable after the termination date.

        After the termination date and before the depositary sells, ADS holders can still surrender their ADSs and receive delivery of deposited securities, except that the depositary may refuse to accept a surrender for the purpose of withdrawing deposited securities or reverse previously accepted surrenders of that kind that have not settled if it would interfere with the selling process. The depositary may refuse to accept a surrender for the purpose of withdrawing sale proceeds until all the deposited securities have been sold. The depositary will continue to collect distributions on deposited securities, but, after the termination date, the depositary is not required to register any transfer of ADSs or distribute any dividends or other distributions on deposited securities to the ADSs holder (until they surrender their ADSs) or give any notices or perform any other duties under the deposit agreement except as described in this paragraph.

Limitations on Obligations and Liability

Limits on our Obligations and the Obligations of the Depositary; Limits on Liability to Holders of ADSs

        The deposit agreement expressly limits our obligations and the obligations of the depositary. It also limits our liability and the liability of the depositary. We and the depositary:

    are only obligated to take the actions specifically set forth in the deposit agreement without negligence or bad faith, and the depositary will not be a fiduciary or have any fiduciary duty to holders of ADSs;

    are not liable if we are or it is prevented or delayed by law or by events or circumstances beyond our or its ability to prevent or counteract with reasonable care or effort from performing our or its obligations under the deposit agreement;

    are not liable if we or it exercises discretion permitted under the deposit agreement;

    are not liable for the inability of any holder of ADSs to benefit from any distribution on deposited securities that is not made available to holders of ADSs under the terms of the deposit agreement, or for any special, consequential or punitive damages for any breach of the terms of the deposit agreement;

    have no obligation to become involved in a lawsuit or other proceeding related to the ADSs or the deposit agreement on your behalf or on behalf of any other person;

    may rely upon any documents we believe or it believes in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person;

    are not liable for the acts or omissions of any securities depository, clearing agency or settlement system; and

    the depositary has no duty to make any determination or provide any information as to our tax status, or any liability for any tax consequences that may be incurred by ADS holders as a result of owning or holding ADSs or be liable for the inability or failure of an ADS holder to obtain the benefit of a foreign tax credit, reduced rate of withholding or refund of amounts withheld in respect of tax or any other tax benefit.

        In the deposit agreement, we and the depositary agree to indemnify each other under certain circumstances.

203


Table of Contents

Requirements for Depositary Actions

        Before the depositary will deliver or register a transfer of ADSs, make a distribution on ADSs, or permit withdrawal of shares, the depositary may require:

    payment of stock transfer or other taxes or other governmental charges and transfer or registration fees charged by third parties for the transfer of any shares or other deposited securities;

    satisfactory proof of the identity and genuineness of any signature or other information it deems necessary; and

    compliance with regulations it may establish, from time to time, consistent with the deposit agreement, including presentation of transfer documents.

        The depositary may refuse to deliver ADSs or register transfers of ADSs when the transfer books of the depositary or our transfer books are closed or at any time if the depositary or we think it advisable to do so.

Your Right to Receive the Shares Underlying your ADSs

        ADS holders have the right to cancel their ADSs and withdraw the underlying shares at any time except:

    when temporary delays arise because: (i) the depositary has closed its transfer books or we have closed our transfer books; (ii) the transfer of shares is blocked to permit voting at a shareholders' meeting; or (iii) we are paying a dividend on our shares;

    when you owe money to pay fees, taxes and similar charges; or

    when it is necessary to prohibit withdrawals in order to comply with any laws or governmental regulations that apply to ADSs or to the withdrawal of shares or other deposited securities.

        This right of withdrawal may not be limited by any other provision of the deposit agreement.

Direct Registration System

        In the deposit agreement, all parties to the deposit agreement acknowledge that the Direct Registration System, also referred to as DRS, and Profile Modification System, also referred to as Profile, will apply to the ADSs. DRS is a system administered by DTC that facilitates interchange between registered holding of uncertificated ADSs and holding of security entitlements in ADSs through DTC and a DTC participant. Profile is a feature of DRS that allows a DTC participant, claiming to act on behalf of a registered holder of uncertificated ADSs, to direct the depositary to register a transfer of those ADSs to DTC or its nominee and to deliver those ADSs to the DTC account of that DTC participant without receipt by the depositary of prior authorization from the ADS holder to register that transfer.

        In connection with and in accordance with the arrangements and procedures relating to DRS/Profile, the parties to the deposit agreement understand that the depositary will not determine whether the DTC participant that is claiming to be acting on behalf of an ADS holder in requesting registration of transfer and delivery as described in the paragraph above has the actual authority to act on behalf of the ADS holder (notwithstanding any requirements under the Uniform Commercial Code). In the deposit agreement, the parties agree that the depositary's reliance on and compliance with instructions received by the depositary through

204


Table of Contents

the DRS/Profile system and in accordance with the deposit agreement will not constitute negligence or bad faith on the part of the depositary.

Shareholder communications; inspection of register of holders of ADSs

        The depositary will make available for your inspection at its office all communications that it receives from us as a holder of deposited securities that we make generally available to holders of deposited securities. The depositary will send you copies of those communications or otherwise make those communications available to you if we ask it to. You have a right to inspect the register of holders of ADSs, but not for the purpose of contacting those holders about a matter unrelated to our business or the ADSs.

Jury Trial Waiver

        The deposit agreement provides that, to the extent permitted by law, ADS holders waive the right to a jury trial of any claim they may have against us or the depositary arising out of or relating to our shares, the ADSs or the deposit agreement, including any claim under the U.S. federal securities laws. If we or the depositary opposed a jury trial demand based on the waiver, the court would determine whether the waiver was enforceable in the facts and circumstances of that case in accordance with applicable case law.

        You will not, by agreeing to the terms of the deposit agreement, be deemed to have waived our or the depositary's compliance with U.S. federal securities laws or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

Arbitration Provision

        The deposit agreement gives the depositary or an ADS holder asserting a claim against us the right to require us to submit that claim to binding arbitration in New York under the International Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, including any securities law claim. However, a claimant could also elect not to submit its claim to arbitration and instead bring its claim in any court having jurisdiction of it. The deposit agreement does not give us the right to require anyone to submit any claim to arbitration.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

        Upon completion of this offering,             ADSs will be outstanding, representing             Class A ordinary shares or, approximately         % of our outstanding ordinary shares, assuming the underwriters do not exercise their option to purchase additional ADSs. All of the ADSs sold in this offering will be freely transferable by persons other than our "affiliates" without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act. Sales of substantial amounts of ADSs in the public market could adversely affect prevailing market prices of the ADSs. Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our Class A ordinary shares or the ADSs, and while application has been made for the ADSs to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, we cannot assure you that a regular trading market will develop in the ADSs. We do not expect that a trading market will develop for our ordinary shares not represented by the ADSs.

Lock-Up Agreements

        We, our directors, executive officers and our existing shareholders have agreed, subject to specified exceptions, not to directly or indirectly during the period ending 180 days after the date of this prospectus, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any ADSs or any securities that are substantial similar to ADSs. Furthermore, our directors, executive officers and our existing shareholders have also agreed, subject to specified exceptions, not to (i) enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the ordinary shares or ADSs; (ii) file any registration statement with the SEC relating to the offering of any ordinary shares, ADSs or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for ordinary shares or ADSs; or (iii) publicly disclose the intention to make any offer, sale, pledge, disposition or filing, in each case regardless of whether any such transaction described above is to be settled by delivery of ordinary shares, ADSs, or such other securities, in cash or otherwise.

        The underwriters may, in their sole discretion and at any time or from time to time before the termination of the lock-up period release all or any portion of the securities subject to lock-up agreements. There are no existing agreements between the underwriters and any of our shareholders who will execute a lock-up agreement, providing consent to the sale of ADSs prior to the expiration of the lock-up period.

        In addition, through a letter agreement, we will instruct The Bank of New York Mellon, as depositary, not to accept any deposit of any ordinary shares or issue any ADSs for 180 days after the date of this prospectus unless we consent to such deposit or issuance, and not to provide consent without the prior written consent of [    ·    ]. The foregoing does not affect the right of ADS holders to cancel their ADSs and withdraw the underlying Class A ordinary shares.

Rule 144

        All of our ordinary shares outstanding prior to this offering are "restricted shares" as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act and may be sold publicly in the United States only if they are subject to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements. Under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person who has beneficially owned our restricted shares for at least six months is generally entitled to sell the restricted securities without registration under the Securities Act beginning 90 days after the date of this prospectus, subject to certain additional restrictions.

206


Table of Contents

        Our affiliates may sell within any three-month period a number of restricted shares that does not exceed the greater of the following:

    1% of the then outstanding Class A ordinary shares, in the form of ADSs or otherwise, which will equal approximately              Class A ordinary shares immediately after this offering, assuming the underwriters do not exercise their option to purchase additional ADSs; or

    the average weekly trading volume of our Class A ordinary shares in the form of ADSs or otherwise, on the New York Stock Exchange, during the four calendar weeks preceding the date on which notice of the sale is filed with the SEC.

        Affiliates who sell restricted securities under Rule 144 may not solicit orders or arrange for the solicitation of orders, and they are also subject to notice requirements and the availability of current public information about us.

        Persons who are not our affiliates are only subject to one of these additional restrictions, the requirement of the availability of current public information about us, and this additional restriction does not apply if they have beneficially owned our restricted shares for more than one year.

        Assuming there is no change to our register of members between the date of this prospectus and the expiration of the lock-up agreements (other than to give effect to this offering), we expect that as of the date of expiration of the lock-up agreements,             Class A ordinary shares and             Class B ordinary shares will be available for sale under Rule 144 by our current affiliates (subject to volume and manner of sale limitations under Rule 144) and             Class A ordinary shares will be available for sale under Rule 144 by our current non-affiliates.

Rule 701

        In general, under Rule 701 of the Securities Act as currently in effect, each of our employees, consultants or advisors who purchases our ordinary shares from us in connection with a compensatory stock or option plan or other written agreement relating to compensation is eligible to resell such ordinary shares 90 days after we become a reporting company under the Exchange Act in reliance on Rule 144, but without compliance with some of the restrictions, including the holding period, contained in Rule 144.

Registration Rights

        Upon completion of this offering, certain holders of our ordinary shares or their transferees will be entitled to request that we register their shares under the Securities Act, following the expiration of the lock-up agreements described above. See "Description of Share Capital—History of Securities Issuance—Shareholders Agreement."

TAXATION

        The following summary of material Cayman Islands, PRC and U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in ADSs or Class A ordinary shares is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof in effect as of the date of this prospectus, all of which are subject to change. This summary does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to an investment in ADSs or Class A ordinary shares, such as the tax consequences under U.S. state, local and other tax law s or under the tax laws of jurisdictions other than Cayman Islands, PRC and the United States.

Cayman Islands Taxation

        The Cayman Islands currently levies no taxes on individuals or corporations based upon profits, income, gains or appreciation and there is no taxation in the nature of inheritance tax or estate duty. There are no other taxes likely to be material to us or holders of our ADSs or Class A ordinary shares levied by the government of the Cayman Islands except for stamp duties which may be applicable on instruments executed in or, after execution, brought within the jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands. The Cayman Islands is not party to any double tax treaties that are applicable to any payments made by or to our company. There are no exchange control regulations or currency restrictions in the Cayman Islands.

People's Republic of China Taxation

        The Enterprise Income Tax Law provides that an enterprise established under the laws of a foreign country or region but whose "de facto management body" is located in the PRC is treated as a PRC resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes and consequently subject to the PRC income tax at the rate of 25% on its global income. The implementation rules of the Enterprise Income Tax Law define the term of the "de facto management body" as an "organizational body which effectively manages and controls the production and business operation, personnel, an accounting, properties and other aspects of operations of an enterprise."

        PRC income tax at the rate of 10% will apply to payments of dividends we make to investors that are "non-resident enterprises" of the PRC, if such investors do not have an establishment or place of business in the PRC, or if they have such establishment or place of business in the PRC but the relevant income is not effectively connected with such establishment or place of business, to the extent such dividends are deemed to be sourced within the PRC.

        Furthermore, any gain realized on the transfer of our ADSs or Class A ordinary shares by such investors would also be subject to PRC income tax at 10% if such gain is regarded as income derived from sources within the PRC.

        Furthermore, if we are considered a PRC resident enterprise and relevant PRC tax authorities consider the dividends we pay with respect to our shares or ADSs and the gains realized from the transfer of our shares or ADSs to be income derived from sources within the PRC, such dividends and gains earned by non-resident individuals would be subject to the 20% PRC individual income tax.

        These rates could be reduced by applicable tax treaties or similar arrangements between China and the jurisdiction of the investor. For example, for investors in Hong Kong, the tax rate could be reduced to 7% for interest payments and 5% for dividends if available under the tax treaty between PRC and Hong Kong. However, it is unclear whether non-PRC shareholders

208


Table of Contents

would be able to claim the benefits of any tax treaties between their country of tax residence and the PRC in the event that we are treated as a PRC resident enterprise.

        See "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in China—If we are classified as a PRC resident enterprise for PRC income tax purposes, such classification could result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC shareholders or ADS holders."

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

        The following discussion is a summary of U.S. federal income tax considerations under present law of the ownership and disposition of the ADSs or Class A ordinary shares. This summary applies only to investors that are U.S. Holders (as defined below) and that hold the ADSs or Class A ordinary shares as capital assets (generally, property held for investment). This discussion is based on the applicable provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, final, temporary and proposed Treasury regulations thereunder, pertinent judicial decisions, interpretive rulings of the Internal Revenue Services, or IRS, and such other authorities as we have considered relevant. All of the foregoing authorities are subject to change, which change could apply retroactively and could affect the tax considerations described below.

        The following discussion does not deal with all the tax considerations to any particular investor or to persons in special tax situations such as:

    banks;

    financial institutions;

    insurance companies;

    broker dealers;

    persons that elect to mark their securities to market;

    persons required to conform the timing of income accruals with respect to the ADSs or Class A ordinary shares to their financial statements;

    tax-exempt entities;

    persons liable for the alternative minimum tax;

    regulated investment companies;

    certain expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States;

    governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;

    persons holding an ADS or Class A ordinary share as part of a straddle, hedging, conversion or integrated transaction;

    persons that actually or constructively own ADSs or Class A ordinary shares representing 10% or more of our voting power or value;

    persons whose functional currency is other than the U.S. dollar; or

    persons who acquired ADSs or Class A ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of any employee share option or otherwise as consideration.

209


Table of Contents

U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors about the application of the U.S. federal tax rules to their particular circumstances as well as the state, local and foreign tax consequences to them of the ownership and disposition of ADSs or Class A ordinary shares.

        The discussion below of the U.S. federal income tax considerations will apply if you are a "U.S. Holder." You are a "U.S. Holder" if you are the beneficial owner of ADSs or Class A ordinary shares and you are, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

    an individual citizen or resident of the United States;

    a corporation (or other entity subject to tax as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any State or the District of Columbia;

    an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

    a trust that (i) is subject to the supervision of a court within the United States and the control of one or more U.S. persons or (ii) has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

        This discussion does not consider the tax treatment of partnerships or other pass-through entities that hold the ADSs or Class A ordinary shares, or of persons who hold the ADSs or Class A ordinary shares through such partnerships or entities. If a partnership (or other arrangement or entity classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is the beneficial owner of the ADSs or Class A ordinary shares, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership.

        The discussion below assumes that the representations contained in the deposit agreement are true and that the obligations in the deposit agreement and any related agreement will be complied with in accordance with their terms. If you hold ADSs, you will be treated as the holder of the underlying Class A ordinary shares represented by those ADSs for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, deposits or withdrawals of Class A ordinary shares for ADSs will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax.

        This discussion does not address any aspect of U.S. federal non-income tax laws, such as gift or estate tax laws, state, local or non-U.S. tax laws or the Medicare tax on net investment income. We have not sought, and will not seek, a ruling from the IRS, or an opinion as to any U.S. federal income tax consequence described herein. The IRS may disagree with the discussion herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court.

Taxation of Dividends or Other Distribution on the ADSs or Class A Ordinary Shares

        Subject to the passive foreign investment company rules discussed below, the gross amount of all our distributions to you with respect to the ADSs or Class A ordinary shares will be included in your gross income as dividend income on the date of receipt by the depositary, in the case of ADSs, or by you, in the case of ordinary shares, but only to the extent that the distribution is paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (computed under U.S. federal income tax principles). Because we do not intend to determine our earnings and profits on the basis of U.S. federal income tax principles, any distribution paid will generally be treated as a "dividend" for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Dividends paid by us will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction allowed to corporations in respect of dividends received from U.S. corporations.

210


Table of Contents

        With respect to individuals and other non-corporate U.S. Holders, dividends may be taxed at the lower applicable capital gains rate provided that (i) the ADSs or Class A ordinary shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States or we are eligible for the benefit of the income tax treaty between the United States and the PRC, or treaty (ii) we are not a passive foreign investment company (as discussed below) for either our taxable year in which the dividend was paid or for the preceding taxable year, (iii) certain holding period requirements are met and (iv) such non-corporate U.S. Holders are not under an obligation to make related payments with respect to positions in substantially similar or related property. For this purpose, ADSs listed on the New York Stock Exchange will generally be considered to be readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. There can be no assurance, however, that our ADSs will be considered readily tradable on an established securities market in later years. Since we do not expect that our Class A ordinary shares will be listed on an established securities market in the United States, we do not believe that dividends that we pay on our Class A ordinary shares that are not represented by ADSs currently meet the conditions required for these reduced tax rates. In the event that we are deemed to be a PRC resident enterprise under PRC tax law, you may be subject to PRC withholding taxes on dividends paid on our ADSs or Class A ordinary shares. If we are deemed to be a PRC resident enterprise, we may, however, be eligible for the benefits of the treaty. If we are eligible for such benefits, dividends we pay on our ordinary shares, regardless of whether such shares are represented by our ADSs, would be eligible for the reduced rates of taxation applicable to qualified dividend income, as discussed above. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the availability of the lower rate for dividends paid with respect to our ADSs or ordinary shares.

        Dividend income will include any PRC tax withheld from distributions. For U.S. foreign tax credit purposes, dividends paid on the ADSs or Class A ordinary shares generally will be treated as income from foreign sources and generally will constitute passive category income. If PRC taxes apply to dividends paid to you with respect to the ADSs or Class A ordinary shares, you may be able to obtain a reduced rate of PRC taxes under the treaty if certain requirements are met. In addition, subject to certain conditions and limitations, PRC withholding taxes on dividends that are non-refundable under the treaty generally will be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against your U.S. federal income tax liability. If you do not elect to claim a foreign tax credit, you may instead claim a deduction for U.S. federal income tax purposes in respect of such withholding, but only for a year in which you elect to do so for all creditable foreign income taxes. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the creditability of any PRC tax.

Sale or Other Disposition of the ADSs or Class A Ordinary Shares

        Subject to the passive foreign investment company rules discussed below, you will recognize gain or loss on any sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of an ADS or Class A ordinary share equal to the difference between the amount realized for the ADS or Class A ordinary share and your tax basis in the ADS or Class A ordinary share. The gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss. If you are an individual or other non-corporate U.S. Holder who has held the ADS or Class A ordinary share for more than one year, you will generally be eligible for reduced tax rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Any such gain or loss that you recognize will generally be treated as U.S. source income or loss for foreign tax credit limitation purposes, which will generally limit the availability of foreign tax credits. However, in the event we are deemed to be a PRC "resident enterprise" under PRC tax law, we may be eligible for the benefits of the treaty. In such event, if PRC tax were to be imposed on any gain from the disposition of the ADSs or Class A ordinary shares, a U.S. Holder that is eligible for the benefits of the treaty may elect to treat

211


Table of Contents

such gain as PRC source income. You should consult your tax advisors regarding the creditability of any PRC tax.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations

        A non-U.S. corporation, such as our company, is considered a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for any taxable year if either (i) at least 75% of its gross income is passive income, or (ii) at least 50% of the value of its assets (based on an average of the quarterly values of the assets during a taxable year) is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income. We will be treated as owning our proportionate share of the assets and earning our proportionate share of the income of any other corporation in which we own, directly or indirectly, more than 25% (by value) of the shares. Although the law in this regard is not entirely clear, we treat our VIE as being owned by us for U.S. federal income tax purposes because we exercise effective control over them and we are entitled to substantially all of their economic benefits and, as a result, we consolidate their results of operations in our consolidated financial statement. If it were determined, however, that we are not the owner of our VIE for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we would likely be treated as a PFIC for our taxable year ended December 31, 2018 and for subsequent taxable years.

        Assuming we are the owner of our VIE in the PRC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, based on our current and expected income and assets and projections of the value of our ADSs following this offering, we do not presently expect to be a PFIC for the current taxable year or the foreseeable future. However, given the lack of authority and the highly factual nature of the analysis, no assurance can be given. The determination as to whether we are a PFIC must be made annually after the end of each taxable year, and consequently, our PFIC status may change. While we do not anticipate becoming a PFIC, changes in the nature of our income or assets or the value of our ADSs and Class A ordinary shares may cause us to become a PFIC for the current or any subsequent taxable year. In particular, because the total value of our assets for purposes of the asset test may be calculated using the market price of the ADSs, our PFIC status may depend in large part on the market price of the ADSs, which may fluctuate considerably. The composition of our income and assets may also be affected by how, and how quickly, we use our liquid assets and the cash raised in this offering. In addition, because there are uncertainties in the application of the relevant rules, it is possible that the IRS may challenge our classification of certain income and assets as non-passive or our valuation of our tangible and intangible assets, each of which may result in our becoming a PFIC for the current or subsequent taxable years. If we are a PFIC for any year during which you hold the ADSs or Class A ordinary shares, we will generally continue to be treated as a PFIC for all succeeding years during which you hold such ADSs or Class A ordinary shares. However, if we cease to be a PFIC, provided that you have not made a mark-to-market election, as described below, you may avoid some of the adverse effects of the PFIC regime by making a deemed sale election with respect to the ADSs or Class A ordinary shares, as applicable.

        If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which you hold ADSs or Class A ordinary shares, you will be subject to special tax rules with respect to any "excess distribution" that you receive and any gain you realize from a sale or other disposition (including a pledge) of the ADSs or Class A ordinary shares, unless you make a mark-to-market election as discussed below. Distributions you receive in a taxable year that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions you received during the shorter of the three preceding taxable years or

212


Table of Contents

your holding period for the ADSs or Class A ordinary shares will be treated as an excess distribution. Under these special tax rules:

    the excess distribution or gain would be allocated ratably over your holding period for the ADSs or Class A ordinary shares;

    the amount allocated to the current taxable year, and any taxable year prior to the first taxable year in which we became a PFIC, would be treated as ordinary income; and

    the amount allocated to each of the other taxable years would be subject to tax at the highest rate of tax in effect for you for such year and would be increased by an additional tax equal to interest on the resulting tax deemed deferred with respect to each such other taxable year.

        The tax liability for amounts allocated to years prior to the year of disposition or "excess distribution" cannot be offset by any net operating losses for such years, and gains (but not losses) realized on the sale of the ADSs or Class A ordinary shares cannot be treated as capital, even if you hold the ADSs or Class A ordinary shares as capital assets.

        Alternatively, a U.S. Holder of "marketable stock" (as defined below) in a PFIC may make a mark-to-market election for such stock of a PFIC to elect out of the tax treatment discussed in the two preceding paragraphs. The mark-to-market election is available only for "marketable stock," which is stock that is traded in other than de minimis quantities on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter, or "regularly traded," on a qualified exchange or other market, as defined in applicable Treasury regulations. We expect that the ADSs will continue to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange which is a qualified exchange for these purposes. Consequently, assuming that the ADSs are regularly traded, if you are a holder of ADSs, it is expected that the mark-to-market election would be available to you were we to become a PFIC. However, a mark-to-market election may not be made with respect to our Class A ordinary shares as they are not marketable stock. If you make a valid mark-to-market election for the ADSs, you will include in income each year an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the ADSs as of the close of your taxable year over your adjusted basis in such ADSs. You are allowed a deduction for the excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of the ADSs over their fair market value as of the close of the taxable year. Such deductions, however, are allowable only to the extent of any net mark-to-market gains on the ADSs included in your income for prior taxable years. Amounts included in your income under a mark-to-market election, as well as gain on the actual sale or other disposition of the ADSs, are treated as ordinary income. Ordinary loss treatment also applies to the deductible portion of any mark-to-market loss on the ADSs, as well as to any loss realized on the actual sale or disposition of the ADSs, to the extent that the amount of such loss does not exceed the net mark-to-market gains previously included for such ADSs. Your basis in the ADSs will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts. If you make such a mark-to-market election, tax rules that apply to distributions by corporations which are not PFICs would apply to distributions by us (except that the lower applicable capital gains rate would not apply).

        Because, as a technical matter, a mark-to-market election cannot be made for any lower-tier PFICs that we may own, a U.S. Holder may continue to be subject to the general PFIC rules described above with respect to such U.S. Holder's indirect interest in any investments held by us that are treated as an equity interest of a PFIC for United States federal income tax purposes.

        Alternatively, a U.S. Holder may avoid the PFIC tax consequences described above in respect to its ADSs and Class A ordinary shares by making a timely "qualified electing fund,"

213


Table of Contents

or QEF, election. To comply with the requirements of a QEF election, a U.S. Holder must receive certain information from us. Because we do not intend to provide such information, however, such election will not be available to you with respect to the ADSs or Class A ordinary shares.

        If you hold ADSs or Class A ordinary shares in any year in which we are a PFIC, you generally will be required to file an annual information report containing such information as the U.S. Treasury may require.

        You are urged to consult your tax advisor regarding the application of the PFIC rules to your investment in ADSs or Class A ordinary shares.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

        Certain U.S. Holders may be required to report information to the IRS with respect to the beneficial ownership of our ADSs or Class A ordinary shares. These rules also impose penalties if a U.S. Holder is required to submit such information to the IRS and fails to do so.

        In addition, U.S. Holders may be subject to information reporting to the IRS with respect to dividends on and proceeds from the sale or other disposition of our ADSs or Class A ordinary shares, unless such U.S. holders are exempt recipients. A backup withholding tax may apply to such payments if the U.S. Holder fails to provide a taxpayer identification number or certification of exempt status or fails to report in full dividend and interest income. Backup withholding is not an additional tax and any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against a U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

        You are advised to consult with your tax advisor regarding the application of the U.S. information reporting rules to your particular circumstances.

The underwriters may allow, and certain dealers may reallow, a discount from the concession not in excess of US$             per ADS to certain brokers and dealers. After the offering, the initial public offering price, concession and reallowance to dealers may be reduced by the representatives. No such reduction will change the amount of proceeds to be received by us as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus.

        The following table shows the public offering price, the underwriting discounts and commissions that we [and the selling shareholders] are to pay the underwriters and the proceeds, before expenses, to us [and the selling shareholders] in connection with this offering. Such amounts are shown assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase additional ADSs.

        We estimate expenses payable by us in connection with this offering, other than the underwriting discounts and commissions referred to above, will be approximately US$             . [We estimate expenses payable by the selling shareholders in connection with this offering, other than the underwriting discounts and commissions referred to above, will be approximately US$             .] We have also agreed to reimburse the underwriters for certain expenses in connection with this offering in an aggregate amount not exceeding US$             . Such reimbursements are deemed underwriting compensation by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.

Determination of Offering Price

        Prior to this offering, there has not been a public market for our ADSs. Consequently, the initial public offering price for our ADSs will be determined by negotiations between us and the representatives. Among the factors to be considered in these negotiations will be prevailing market conditions, our financial information, market valuations of other companies that we and the underwriters believe to be comparable to us, estimates of our business potential, the present state of our development and other factors deemed relevant.

        We offer no assurances that the initial public offering price will correspond to the price at which the ADSs will trade in the public market subsequent to the offering or that an active trading market for the ADSs will develop and continue after the offering.

Listing

        We intend to apply to have our ADSs listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol "             ".

Stamp Taxes

        If you purchase ADSs offered in this prospectus, you may be required to pay stamp taxes and other charges under the laws and practices of the country of purchase, in addition to the offering price listed on the cover page of this prospectus.

Option to Purchase Additional ADSs

        We [and the selling shareholders] have granted to the underwriters an option, exercisable for [30] days from the date of this prospectus, to purchase, from time to time, in whole or in part, up to an aggregate of             ADSs from us [and the selling shareholders] at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, less underwriting discounts and commissions. If             exercises this option, each underwriter will be obligated, subject to specified conditions, to purchase a number of additional ADSs proportionate to that underwriter's initial purchase commitment as indicated in the table above.

No Sales of Similar Securities

        [We, our officers, directors and existing shareholders have agreed, subject to specified exceptions, not to directly or indirectly:

    sell, offer, contract or grant any option to sell (including any short sale), pledge, transfer, establish an open "put equivalent position" within the meaning of Rule 16a-l(h) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,

    otherwise dispose of any shares of common stock, options or warrants to acquire ordinary shares or ADSs, or securities exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into ordinary shares or ADSs currently or hereafter owned either of record or beneficially, or

    publicly announce an intention to do any of the foregoing for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus without the prior written consent of             .

                     may, in their sole discretion and at any time or from time to time before the termination of the 180-day period release all or any portion of the securities subject to lock-up agreements. There are no existing agreements between the underwriters and any of our shareholders who will execute a lock-up agreement, providing consent to the sale of ADSs or ordinary shares prior to the expiration of the lock-up period.]

Stabilization

        The underwriters have advised us that they may engage in short sale transactions, stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions or the imposition of penalty bids in connection with this offering. These activities may have the effect of stabilizing or maintaining the market price of the ADSs at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Establishing short sales positions may involve either "covered" short sales or "naked" short sales.

        "Covered" short sales are sales made in an amount not greater than the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares of our ADSs in this offering. The underwriters may close out any covered short position by either exercising its option to purchase additional ADSs or purchasing our ADSs in the open market. In determining the source of ADSs to close out the covered short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of ADSs available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase ADSs through the option to purchase additional ADSs.

        "Naked" short sales are sales in excess of the option to purchase additional ADSs. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing ADSs in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of our ADSs in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering.

        A stabilizing bid is a bid for the purchase of ADSs on behalf of the underwriters for the purpose of fixing or maintaining the price of the ADSs. A syndicate covering transaction is the bid for or the purchase of ADSs on behalf of the underwriters to reduce a short position incurred by the underwriters in connection with the offering. Similar to other purchase transactions, the underwriters' purchases to cover the syndicate short sales may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our ADSs or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our ADSs. As a result, the price of our ADSs may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. A penalty bid is an arrangement permitting the underwriters to reclaim the selling concession otherwise accruing to a

syndicate member in connection with the offering if the ADSs originally sold by such syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate covering transaction and therefore have not been effectively placed by such syndicate member.

        [None of us, the selling shareholders or / Neither us nor] any of the underwriters makes any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of the ADSs. The underwriters are not obligated to engage in these activities and, if commenced, any of the activities may be discontinued at any time.

Electronic Distribution

        A prospectus in electronic format may be made available by e-mail or on the websites or through online services maintained by one or more of the underwriters or their affiliates. In those cases, prospective investors may view offering terms online and may be allowed to place orders online. The underwriters may agree with us to allocate a specific number of ADSs for sale to online brokerage account holders. Any such allocation for online distributions will be made by the underwriters on the same basis as other allocations. Other than the prospectus in electronic format, the information on the underwriters' websites and any information contained in any other website maintained by any of the underwriters is not part of this prospectus, has not been approved and/or endorsed by us or the underwriters and should not be relied upon by investors.

Other Activities and Relationships

        The underwriters and certain of their affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities. The underwriters and certain of their affiliates have, from time to time, performed, and may in the future perform, various commercial and investment banking and financial advisory services for us and our affiliates, for which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses.

        In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the underwriters and certain of their affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investment and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments issued by us and our affiliates. If the underwriters or their respective affiliates have a lending relationship with us, they routinely hedge their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management policies. The underwriters and their respective affiliates may hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities or the securities of our affiliates, including potentially the ADSs offered hereby. Any such short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the ADSs offered hereby. The underwriters and certain of their respective affiliates may also communicate independent investment recommendations, market color or trading ideas and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

        We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of YX Asset Recovery Limited ("YX Asset") and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2017 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes (collectively, the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2018, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis of Presentation

        As discussed in Note 1(b) to the consolidated financial statements, on November 8, 2018, YX Asset completed a reorganization through which it became the primary beneficiary of Hunan Yong Xiong Asset Management Group Co., Ltd. ("Yong Xiong Group"). The reorganization has been accounted for financial reporting purposes in a manner similar to a pooling-of-interests since Hunan Yong Xiong and YX Asset were under common control. The accompanying consolidated financial statements represent the continuation of the consolidated financial statements of Yong Xiong Group except for its capital structure, which reflects the capital structure of YX Asset.

Basis for Opinion

        These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands of RMB, except share data and per share data)

1 Description of the business, Reorganization and Basis of presentation

(a)   Description of the business

        YX Asset Recovery Limited ("YX Asset"), through its wholly owned subsidiaries YX International Holding Ltd. ("YX International"), YX Services Limited ("YX HK"), Hunan Yong Xiong Intelligence Technology Co., Ltd. ("Hunan WFOE" or "WFOE") and consolidated variable interest entity Yong Xiong Group (or "VIE") and the VIE's subsidiaries (collectively, referred to hereinafter as the "Company"), are principally engaged in rendering debt collection service for financial institutions across the People's Republic of China ("PRC"). All of the Company's operations and customers are located in the PRC.

(b)   Reorganization

        YX Asset is a holding company that was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on August 6, 2018 by the equityholders of Yong Xiong Group in connection with a reorganization described below to facilitate foreign participation and investments in Yong Xiong Group, where Chinese regulations currently restrict foreign ownership of companies that are engaged in value-added telecommunications businesses (the "Reorganization").

        Yong Xiong Group was established in April 2014. 97% and 3% of Yong Xiong Group's equity interests were held by Mr. Man Tan and his spouse Ms. Xiaofang Zhou, respectively, as of December 31, 2017. The registered capital of Yong Xiong Group is RMB60,000. Yong Xiong Group and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in rendering debt collection service for financial institutions and operated over 40 call centers across the PRC. The recognized and unrecognized revenue-producing assets that are held by Yong Xiong Group and its subsidiaries primarily consist of property and equipment, land use right, operating leases for the call centers, ICP license and assembled workforce in those call centers.

        In connection with the Reorganization, the equityholders of Yong Xiong Group entered into the following transactions:

    On August 6, 2018, the equityholders of Yong Xiong Group incorporated YX Asset through subscription of 10,000 ordinary shares at US$0.01 par value. The ordinary shares held by each of the shareholders of YX Asset are in the same proportion to their relative equity interests in Yong Xiong Group. Upon incorporation, the Company's authorized share capital was 5,000,000 ordinary shares with a par value of US$0.01 per share. The shares issued and outstanding of YX Asset have been retrospectively adjusted. See note 10(a).

    On August 22, 2018, YX Asset established a wholly-owned subsidiary in the British Virgin Islands, YX International, by subscription of 100 ordinary shares at US$1 par value.

    On September 6, 2018, YX International established a wholly-owned subsidiary in Hong Kong, YX HK, by subscription of 1 ordinary shares at HK$1 par value.

    On November 2, 2018, YX HK incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary in the PRC, Hunan WFOE, with registered capital of RMB69,212.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(In thousands of RMB, except share data and per share data)

1 Description of the business, Reorganization and Basis of presentation (Continued)

    On November 8, 2018, YX Asset and Hunan WFOE entered into a series of contractual agreements and arrangements ("VIE Agreements") with Yong Xiong Group and its equityholders.

        All of the equity interests of the VIE were legally held by Mr. Man Tan and his spouse Ms. Xiaofang Zhou before the Reorganization. Both individuals are nominee equityholders of the VIE and holding their equity interests on behalf of YX Asset. Through the VIE Agreements among YX Asset, WOFE, the VIE and its nominee equityholders, the nominee equityholders of the VIE have granted all their legal rights including voting rights and disposition rights of their equity interests in the VIE to YX Asset. The nominee equityholders of the VIE do not participate significantly in income and loss and do not have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance. Accordingly, the VIE is considered a variable interest entity.

        YX Asset has a controlling financial interest in the VIE because YX Asset has (i) the power to direct activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE; and (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses and the right to receive expected residual return of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Thus, YX Asset is the primary beneficiary of the VIE.

        Under the terms of VIE Agreements, YX Asset has (i) effective control over the VIE under the Equity Pledge Agreement, Shareholder Voting Proxy Agreement and Power of Attorney; (ii) the right to receive economic benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE in the form of service fees under the Exclusive Consultation and Service Agreement; (iii) the right to receive the residual benefits of the VIE through its exclusive option to acquire 100% of the equity interests in the VIE, to the extent permitted under PRC law. Accordingly, the financial statements of the VIE are consolidated in YX Asset's consolidated financial statements.

        Under the terms of the VIE Agreements, the VIE's nominee equityholders have no rights to the net assets nor have the obligations to fund the VIE, and such rights and obligations have been vested to YX Asset. All of the equity (net assets) and net income of the VIE are attributed to YX Asset.

        The key terms of the VIE Agreements are as follows:

Exclusive Consultation and Service Agreement

        The WFOE and the VIE entered into an Exclusive Consultation and Service Agreement, pursuant to which the WFOE has the exclusive right to provide the VIE with the consulting and technical services required by the VIE's business. Under the Exclusive Consultation and Service Agreement, the VIE agrees that it may not accept any services subject to this agreement from any third party without the WFOE's prior written consent. The VIE agreed to pay the WFOE service fees after the VIE reserves for reasonable profits and costs. The WFOE has the right to make discretionary determination on the amount of service fees to collect from the VIE. The WFOE has the exclusive ownership of all the intellectual property rights created as a result of the performance of the Exclusive Consultation and Service Agreement, to the extent permitted by applicable PRC laws. To guarantee the VIE's performance of its

obligations thereunder, the equityholders agreed to pledge their equity interests of the VIE to the WFOE pursuant to the Equity Pledge Agreement. The Exclusive Consultation and Service Agreement will remain effective for an indefinite term, unless otherwise terminated pursuant to mutual agreement in writing or applicable PRC laws.

Exclusive Option Agreement

        YX Asset, the WFOE, the VIE and each of the equityholders of the VIE entered into an Exclusive Option Agreement, pursuant to which the equityholders of the VIE irrevocably granted the WFOE an exclusive option to purchase all or part of their equity interests of the VIE, and the VIE irrevocably granted the WFOE an exclusive option to purchase all or part of its assets. Under the Exclusive Option Agreement, the WFOE has the right to exercise, or designate a person or entity to exercise, such options at the lowest price permitted under applicable PRC laws. The equityholders of the VIE undertake that, without the WFOE's prior written consent, they will not, among other things, (i) create any pledge or encumbrance on their equity interests of the VIE, (ii) transfer or otherwise dispose of their equity interests of the VIE, (iii) change the VIE's registered capital, (iv) amend the VIE's articles of association, (v) dispose of the VIE's material assets (except in the ordinary course of business), or (vi) merge the VIE with any other entity. In addition, the VIE undertakes that, without the WFOE's prior written consent, it will not, among other things, create any pledge or encumbrance on any of its assets, or transfer or otherwise dispose of its material assets (except in the ordinary course of business). The WFOE has the right to transfer its rights and/or obligations under the Exclusive Option Agreement to YX Asset. The Exclusive Option Agreement will remain effective until the entire equity interests and all the assets of the VIE have been transferred to the WFOE or its designated person or entity.

Equity Pledge Agreement

        The WFOE, the VIE and each of the equityholders of the VIE entered into an Equity Pledge Agreement, pursuant to which the equityholders of the VIE agreed to pledge 100% equity interests of the VIE to the WFOE to guarantee the performance by the equityholders of their obligations under the contractual arrangements including the Exclusive Option Agreement, the Shareholder Voting Proxy Agreement and the Equity Pledge Agreement, as well as the performance by the VIE of its obligations under the Exclusive Option Agreement, the Shareholder Voting Proxy Agreement, the Exclusive Consultation and Service Agreement and the Equity Pledge Agreement. YX Asset completed the registration of all the equity pledges in accordance with the PRC Property Rights Law. In the event of a breach by the VIE or any equityholder of contractual obligations under the Equity Pledge Agreement, the WFOE, as pledgee, has the right to dispose of the pledged equity interests in the VIE and has priority in receiving the proceeds from such disposal. The equityholders of the VIE also undertake that, without the prior written consent of the WFOE, they will not dispose of, create or allow any encumbrance on the pledged equity interests. The VIE undertakes that, without the prior written consent of the WFOE, it will not assist or allow any encumbrance to be created on the pledged equity interests. Each equityholder also executed a power of attorney to irrevocably

authorize Mr. Man Tan as their attorney-in-fact to sign any legal documents that are required to facilitate the WFOE to exercise its rights under the Equity Pledge Agreement.

Shareholder Voting Proxy Agreement and Powers of Attorney

        The WFOE, the VIE and each of the equityholders of the VIE entered into a Shareholder Voting Proxy Agreement, pursuant to which each of the equityholders of the VIE executed a power of attorney to irrevocably authorize the WFOE or any person designated by the WFOE to act as their attorney-in-fact to exercise all of their rights as an equityholder of the VIE, including, but not limited to, the right to convene and attend equityholders' meetings, vote on any resolution that requires an equityholder vote, such as the appointment and removal of directors, supervisors and officers, as well as the sale, transfer, pledge and disposal of all or part of the equity interests owned by such equityholder. The power of attorney will remain effective until the termination of the Shareholder Voting Proxy Agreement unless otherwise instructed by the WFOE.

Financial Support Undertaking Letter

        A financial support undertaking letter addressed to the VIE was executed, pursuant to which YX Asset irrevocably undertake to provide unlimited financial support to the VIE to the extent permissible under the applicable PRC laws and regulations, regardless of whether the VIE has incurred an operational loss. This financial support undertaking letter was executed because the entire operation is located within the PRC and substantially carried out by the VIE, which may require capital from time to time to meet its operational needs. The board of directors of the VIE will decide how much financial support should be provided. The form of financial support includes but is not limited to cash, entrusted loans and borrowings. YX Asset will not request repayment of any outstanding loans or borrowings from the VIE under any circumstances. The letter is effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which all of the equity interests of the VIE have been acquired by YX Asset or its designated representative(s); and (ii) the date on which YX Asset, in the sole and absolute discretion, unilaterally terminate the applicable financial support undertaking letter.

        YX Asset relies on the VIE Agreements to operate and control the VIE. However, these contractual arrangements may not be as effective as direct equity ownership in providing YX Asset with control over the VIE. Any failure by VIE or the nominee equityholders to perform their obligations under the VIE Agreements would have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position and consolidated financial performance of the Company. All the VIE Agreements are governed by PRC law and provide for the resolution of disputes through arbitration in the PRC. Accordingly, these contracts would be interpreted in accordance with PRC law and any disputes would be resolved in accordance with PRC legal procedures. The legal system in the PRC is not as developed as some other jurisdictions, such as the United States. As a result, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could limit YX Asset's ability to enforce these contractual arrangements. In addition, if the legal structure and the VIE Agreements were found to be in violation of any existing or future PRC laws and regulations, YX Asset may be subject to fines or other legal or administrative sanctions.

1 Description of the business, Reorganization and Basis of presentation (Continued)

        In the opinion of management, based on consultation with YX Asset's PRC legal counsel, the above contractual agreements and arrangements are valid, binding and enforceable and do not result in any violation of PRC laws and regulations currently in effect. However, it is uncertain whether any new PRC laws or regulations relating to variable interest entity structures will be adopted or, if adopted, what they would provide. If YX Asset are found to be in violation of any existing or future PRC laws or regulations, or fail to obtain or maintain any of the required permits or approvals, the relevant PRC regulatory authorities would have broad discretion to take action in dealing with such violations or failures, including:

    discontinuing or placing restrictions or onerous conditions on YX Asset's operations through any transactions between the WFOE and the VIE;

    imposing fines, confiscating the income from the WFOE or the VIE, or imposing other requirements with which YX Asset may not be able to comply;

    requiring the Company to restructure its ownership structure or operations, including terminating the contractual arrangements with the VIE and deregistering the equity pledges of the VIE, which in turn would affect YX Asset's ability to consolidate, derive economic interests from, or exert effective control over the VIE; or

    restricting or prohibiting YX Asset's use of the proceeds of capital offering to finance YX Asset's business and operations in China.

        The imposition of any of these penalties would result in a material and adverse effect on YX Asset's ability to conduct business. In addition, it is unclear what impact the PRC government actions would have on YX Asset and on YX Asset's ability to consolidate the financial results of the VIE in its consolidated financial statements, if the PRC government authorities were to find the Company's legal structure and contractual arrangements to be in violation of PRC laws and regulations. If the imposition of any of these government actions causes YX Asset to lose its right to direct the activities of the VIE or the right to receive substantially all the economic benefits and residual returns from the VIE and YX Asset is not able to restructure its ownership structure and operations in a satisfactory manner, YX Asset would no longer be able to consolidate the financial results of the VIE in our consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the likelihood of deconsolidation of the VIE is remote based on current facts and circumstances.

        The Company's involvement with Yong Xiong Group under the VIE Agreements affected the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows as indicated below.

        The following consolidated financial information of the Company's VIEs, Yong Xiong Group, as of December 31, 2017 and 2018 and for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017

        In accordance with the VIE Agreements, YX Asset has the power to direct the activities of the VIE and can have assets transferred out of the VIE. Therefore, there are no assets in the VIE that can be used only to settle obligations of the VIE, except for the registered capital of the VIE amounting to RMB60,000 as of December 31, 2017 and 2018, as well as certain non-distributable statutory reserves amounting to RMB23,556 and RMB35,297, respectively, as of December 31, 2017 and 2018. Except for those have disclosed in Note 8 of the financial statements, Yong Xiong Group does not have other assets pledged or collateralized as of December 31, 2017 and 2018. The creditors of Yong Xiong Group do not have recourse to the general credit of YX Asset and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Assets of Yong Xiong Group that can be used only to settle obligations of Yong Xiong Group and liabilities of Yong Xiong Group for which creditors (or beneficial interest holders) do not have recourse to the general credit of YX Asset and its wholly owned subsidiaries have been presented parenthetically alongside each balance sheet caption on the face of the consolidated balance sheets.

(c)   Basis of presentation

        The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").

        The net assets of Yong Xiong Group are initially measured and recognized at their historical carrying amounts because both YX Asset and Yong Xiong Group were under the common control of Mr. Man Tan and his spouse Ms. Xiaofang Zhou immediately before and after the Reorganization. Accordingly, the transfer of net assets of Yong Xiong Group has been accounted for and presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements in a manner similar to a pooling-of-interests. That is, the consolidated financial statements of the Company include the results of the operations and the financial position of Yong Xiong Group as of the beginning of the earliest period presented. Since YX Asset did not exist prior to August 6, 2018, the Company's consolidated financial position as of December 31, 2017, and its results of operations for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2017 represent the continuation of the consolidated financial statements of Yong Xiong Group, except for its capital structure, which is retroactively adjusted to reflect the legal capital structure of YX Asset. The paid-in capital and additional paid-in capital of Yong Xiong Group is included in additional paid-in capital in YX Asset's consolidated statements of shareholders' equity. The statutory reserve and retained earnings of Yong Xiong Group is included in retained earnings in YX Asset's consolidated statements of shareholders' equity.

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a)   Consolidation

        The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of YX Asset, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Yong Xiong Group as the consolidated VIE, and Yong Xiong Group's subsidiaries in which Yong Xiong Group, directly or indirectly, has a controlling financial interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

(b)   Use of estimates

        The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

        The Company believes that estimate of variable consideration, collectability of accounts receivable, recoverability of contract assets, the useful lives and recoverability of property and equipment and land use right, the realizability of deferred income tax assets and accrual for income tax uncertainties reflect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

(c)   Fair value of financial instruments

        Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

        The established fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument's categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

        The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value include:

    Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

    Level 2: Observable, market-based inputs, other than quoted prices, in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

    Level 3: Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

        Accounting guidance also describes three main approaches to measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities: (1) market approach; (2) income approach and (3) cost approach. The

F-15


Table of Contents

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(In thousands of RMB, except share data and per share data)

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated from market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount. The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. The cost approach is based on the amount that would currently be required to replace an asset.

        The Company does not have any non-financial assets or liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis.

        The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, contract assets, amounts due from related parties, short-term bank loans, amounts due to related parties, income tax payable and accrued expenses and other payables as of December 31, 2017 and 2018 approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

        The carrying amounts of long-term bank loan and other long-term payables as of December 31, 2017 and 2018 approximates their fair values since the interest rates of these instruments approximate rates currently offered by the Company's banks for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities.

(d)   Cash

        Cash represents cash on hand and placed with banks, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use. As of December 31, 2017 and 2018, all cash was placed with reputable financial institutions in the PRC, which management believes are of high credit quality and financially sound based on public available information.

(e)   Accounts receivable

        Accounts receivable is recognized when the Company has an unconditional right to receive consideration. A right to receive consideration is unconditional if only the passage of time is required before payment of that consideration is due. If revenue has been recognized before the Company has an unconditional right to receive consideration, the amount is presented as a contract asset. Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest and are due from 1 to 3 months from the date of billing. Amounts collected on accounts receivable are included in net cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Accounts receivable is considered past due based on its contractual terms. In establishing the allowance, management considers historical losses, the amount of accounts receivable in dispute and the aging of the accounts receivable. Accounts receivable which are deemed to be uncollectible are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

        As of December 31, 2017 and 2018, all the accounts receivable are aged within 6 months and expected to be recovered within one year. No allowance for accounts receivable was provided as of December 31, 2017 and 2018 as the Company believes that it is probable the

F-16


Table of Contents

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

accounts receivable will be fully collected. There were no write-offs of accounts receivable for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018. Approximately 6.0% of the Company's accounts receivable represent output value-added tax ("VAT") amounts, which are excluded from the Company's revenues.

(f)    Contract assets

        A contract asset is recognized when the Company recognizes revenue before the Company is unconditionally entitled to the consideration based on the contract term. Contract assets are reclassified to accounts receivable when the right to the consideration has become unconditional (see Note 2(e)). No contract assets were determined to be impaired as of December 31, 2017 and 2018.

(g)   Property and equipment

        Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows:

  —Buildings   40 ~ 50 years
  —Leasehold improvements   Shorter of the lease term and estimated useful life
  —Decoration of buildings   5 years
  —Machinery and electronic equipment   5 years
  —Office equipment   5 ~ 10 years
  —Motor vehicles   5 years

        Cost incurred in the construction of new facilities, including progress payments and other costs relating to the construction, are capitalized and transferred out of construction in progress and into their respective asset categories when the assets are ready for their intended use, at which time depreciation commences.

        Ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to expenses as incurred, while replacements and betterments are capitalized. When items are retired or otherwise disposed of, income is charged or credited for the difference between net book value of the item disposed and proceeds realized thereon.

        Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of a long-lived asset or asset group to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. If the carrying value of an asset or asset group exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized by the amount that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset or asset group. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third party

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

independent appraisals, as considered necessary. Assets to be disposed are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. No impairment of long-lived assets was recognized for any of the years presented.

(h)   Land use right

        The land use right represents the amounts paid and relevant costs incurred for the rights to use land in the PRC and is carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over the term of the land use right of 40 years.

(i)    Revenue recognition

        The Company is engaged in providing delinquent consumer debt collection services for financial institutions. Pursuant to the agreements with customers, the Company is responsible for the debt collection for the financial institutions over an agreed period of time of one year or less, in exchange for a percentage of total amounts of debts collected on behalf of customers as the Company's commission revenues. Certain agreements with customers require the Company to pay deposits to customers upfront or over a period of time. Such deposits might or might not be refundable according to different terms agreed with the customers.

        The Company has adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, since its establishment. Revenue is recognized when control over the service is transferred to the customer at the amount of promised consideration to which the Company is expected to be entitled.

        The Company evaluated the nature of its promise to the customers and determined that its promise is to provide a debt collection service. The service comprises various activities that may vary every day. However, those tasks are activities to fulfill the debt collection service and are not separate promises in the contract. The Company determined that each increment of the promised service is distinct because the customer can benefit from each increment of service on its own (that is, it is capable of being distinct) and each increment of service is separately identifiable because no day of service significantly modifies or customizes another and no day of service significantly affects either the Company's ability to fulfill another day of service or the benefit to the customer of another day of service. The Company determined that it is providing a series of distinct services because the services provided each day are substantially the same, the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company as the Company performs, and the same measure of progress would be used to measure the Company's progress toward satisfying its promise to provide the services.

        The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring debt collection service to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of governmental authorities, such as VAT and other sales related taxes. The transaction price includes variable consideration where the Company's performance may result in increased commission rates and/or full or partial return of the deposits originally

F-18

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

placed with certain customers based on the achievement of agreed contractual milestones and performance targets. The Company estimates the transaction price at contract inception based on either the expected value method or the most likely outcome method, depending on which method the Company expects to better predict the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled in each contract. In making the estimate of variable consideration, the Company applies judgments which are inherently subjective. This includes the assessment of the estimated amount of successful debt collections based upon a number of factors such as the quality of debt of similar nature, workforce and their historical experience and performance. The amount of estimated variable consideration included in the transaction price is limited only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable condition is subsequently resolved. Management reviews these estimates on a regular basis. Any changes in these factors could materially affect the estimated variable consideration and revenue recognized.

        The Company applies the output method to recognize revenue on the basis of the amounts collected to date to the amounts estimated to be collected during the term of the contract, which the Company believes faithfully depict the Company's performance toward satisfaction of the performance obligation.

        The Company bills its customers based on contractual schedules, which normally is based on collected amount and the respective contractual commission rate. The timing of revenue recognition, billing and cash collections result in accounts receivable and contract assets. The deposits the Company is required to pay to a customer is initially recognized as an asset included in "Prepaid expenses and other current assets". Any non-refundable portion is accounted for as a reduction of the transaction price.

(j)    Advertising costs

        Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling and marketing expenses. Advertising expenses were RMB1,145, RMB728 and RMB429 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively.

(k)   Government grants

        Government grants for acquisition of property are recorded as deferred government grant on the consolidated balance sheets when the grants become receivable, and recognized as government grant in the consolidated statements of income on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the property. The Company received government grants of nil, RMB11,238 and RMB11,788 in 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively, that partially compensate the Company for the cost of a building.

        Grants that compensate the Company for expenses incurred are recognized in the Company's consolidated statements of income as government grant in the periods in which the expenses are recognized.

(l)    Research and development expense

        Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs were RMB3,382, RMB3,412 and RMB3,423 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018 and included as general and administrative expenses.

(m)  Operating leases

        Leases where substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets remain with the lessor are accounted for as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the consolidated statements of income on a straight-line basis over the lease periods. There are no capital improvement funding, lease concessions, escalated rent provisions or contingent rent in the lease agreements. The Company has no legal or contractual asset retirement obligations at the end of the lease term.

(n)   Employee benefits

        Pursuant to relevant PRC regulations, the Company is required to make contributions to various defined contribution plans organized by municipal and provincial PRC governments. The contributions are made for each PRC employee at rates ranging from 32.82% to 34.20% for the year ended December 31, 2016, 32.82% to 33.90% for the year ended December 31, 2017 and 21.04% to 42.40% for the year ended December 31, 2018 on a standard salary base as determined by local social security bureau. Contributions to the defined contribution plans are charged to the consolidated statements of income when the related service is provided. For the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018, the costs of the Company's obligations to the defined contribution plans amounted to RMB36,730, RMB45,350 and RMB61,551, respectively. The Company has no other obligation for the payment of employee benefits associated with these plans beyond the contributions described above.

(o)   Income taxes

        Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates or tax laws is recognized in the consolidated statements of income in the period the change in tax rates or tax laws is enacted. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the carrying amount of deferred income tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. Accordingly, the need to establish valuation allowances for deferred tax assets is assessed at each reporting period based on a "more-likely-than-not" realization threshold. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of futures

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

profitability, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, the Company's experience with operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, if any, not expiring.

        The Company recognizes in the consolidated financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company has elected to classify interest and penalties related to an unrecognized tax benefits, if and when required, as part of income tax expense in the consolidated statements of income.

(p)   Share based compensation

        The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognizes the cost over the period the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, which generally is the vesting period. For restricted shares granted with future service condition after YX Asset's IPO and the occurrence of an IPO as performance condition, share-based compensation expenses for the restricted shares, net of estimated forfeitures, will be recorded on a straight-line basis over the future service period upon the completion of YX Asset's IPO, provided that the cumulative amount of compensation cost recognized at any date at least equals the portion of the grant-date value of such award that is vested at that date. Forfeiture rates are estimated based on historical and future expectations of employee turnover rates.

(q)   Statutory reserves

        According to the PRC Company Law, WFOE, the VIEs and the subsidiaries of the VIEs incorporated in the PRC (the "PRC Entities") are required to appropriate 10% of their net profit, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting rules and regulations, to a statutory surplus reserve until the reserve balance reaches 50% of their registered capital. The appropriation to this statutory surplus reserve must be made before distribution of dividends to YX Asset can be made.

        The use of the statutory reserves are restricted to the off-setting of losses or increasing capital of the respective company. These reserves are not allowed to be transferred to their investors in terms of cash dividends, loans or advances, nor can they be distributed except under liquidation.

        The PRC Entities made appropriations to the statutory reserve, which are consolidated in retained earnings of the Company, of RMB6,923, RMB15,565 and RMB11,741 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018 respectively. The accumulated balance of the statutory reserve for the PRC Entities as of December 31, 2017 and 2018 was RMB23,556 and RMB35,297, respectively.

(r)    Segment reporting

        The Company uses the management approach in determining its operating segments. The management approach considers the internal reporting used by the Company's Chief Executive Officer, the Company's chief operating decision maker, for making decisions about the allocation of resources to and the assessment of the performance of the segments of the Company. Management has determined that the Company has one operating segment, which is the debt collection segment. All of the Company's operations and customers are located in the PRC. Consequently, no geographic information is presented.

        The Company's reporting currency is Renminbi ("RMB"). The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiary incorporated outside of PRC is the United States dollars ("US$"). The functional currency of the Company's PRC subsidiary, VIE and VIE's subsidiaries is the RMB.

        Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are remeasured into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are remeasured into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rate at the balance sheet date. The resulted exchange differences are recorded as foreign currency exchange gain or losses in the consolidated statements of income.

        The financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary incorporated outside of PRC are translated from the functional currency into RMB. Assets and liabilities are translated into RMB using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Equity accounts other than earnings (deficits) generated in the current period are translated into RMB using the appropriate historical rates. Revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated into RMB using the average exchange rates for the relevant period. The resulted foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income or losses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, and the accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or losses in the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders' equity (deficit).

        The RMB is not a freely convertible currency. The PRC State Administration for Foreign Exchange, under the authority of the PRC government, controls the conversion of RMB to foreign currencies. The value of the RMB is subject to changes of central government policies and international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the China foreign exchange trading system market.

(t)    Earnings Per Share

        Basic earnings per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

        For purposes of calculating basic earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018, the weighted average number of shares used in the calculation has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the incorporation of the Company and the Reorganization (see Note 1(b)), as if these events had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented and these shares had been outstanding for all years.

        Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to ordinary shareholders, as adjusted for the effect of dilutive ordinary equivalent shares, if any, by the weighted average number of ordinary and dilutive ordinary equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Ordinary share equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share if their effects are anti-dilutive. The Company did not have dilutive ordinary equivalent shares for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018.

(u)   Commitment and contingency

        In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to loss contingencies, such as legal proceedings and claims arising out of its business, that cover a wide range of matters, including, among others, government investigations, shareholder lawsuits, and non-income tax matters. An accrual for a loss contingency is recognized when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. If a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, is disclosed.

(v)   Recently issued accounting standards

        In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), a new standard on revenue which will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605. The new standard, as amended, sets forth a single comprehensive model for recognizing and reporting revenues. The new guidance requires the Company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance requires the Company to apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The standard also requires additional financial statement disclosures that will enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows relating to customer contracts. The standard is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has early adopted the standard since its establishment. Details of the accounting policy on revenue is disclosed in Note 2(i).

        In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The guidance in this ASU supersedes the leasing guidance in Topic 840, Leases. The new standard requires lessees

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Consistent with current GAAP (Topic 840), the recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a financing or operating lease. However, unlike current U.S. GAAP (Topic 840), which requires only capital leases to be recognized on the balance sheet, ASU 2016-02 will require both types of leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. As a result, lessees will be required to put most leases on their balance sheets while recognizing expense on their consolidated statements of income in a manner similar to current accounting. In addition, this guidance requires disclosures about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. ASU 2016-02 specifies a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the consolidated financial statements and that the new and enhanced disclosures be provided for each period presented (including comparative periods). On March 7, 2018, the FASB affirmed its proposed ASU, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which provides entities with an additional (and optional) transition method to adopt the new lease requirements by allowing entities to initially apply the requirements by recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The standard is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods therein. For all other entities, ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. As the Company is an "emerging growth company", which elects to apply new and revised accounting standards at the effective date for a private company, the Company will adopt the new standard on January 1, 2020. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements and disclosures, including the effect of certain optional practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance.

        In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. The standard is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods therein. For all other entities, ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. As the Company is an "emerging growth company", which elects to apply new and revised accounting standards at the effective date for a private company, the Company will adopt the new standard on January 1, 2021. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

        On August 6, 2018, YX Asset was incorporated in the Cayman Islands with authorized share capital of US$50, or 5,000,000 ordinary shares at US$0.01 par value. On the same date, YX Asset issued 10,000 ordinary shares to its shareholders in proportion to their equity interests in Yong Xiong Group at par value of US$0.01 per share.

        On December 28, 2018, the shareholders of YX Asset approved to increase the authorized share capital to US$100, or 10,000,000 ordinary shares at US$0.01 par value. On the same date, YX Asset issued additional 9,990,000 ordinary shares to its shareholders in proportion to their existing ownership in YX Asset at par value at US$0.01 per share ("December Transaction")

        On January 24, 2019, the shareholders of YX Asset approved to increase the total authorized shares to 100,000,000 and decrease the par value of the ordinary shares from US$0.01 to US$0.001. As a result of the shareholders' approval on January 24, 2019, the subscription price of ordinary shares issued was lowered from US$0.01 per share to US$0.001 per share ("January Transaction"). The proceeds from the subscription of ordinary shares by the shareholders in the amount of US$10 (equivalent to RMB69) remained outstanding and presented as subscription receivable, a contra-equity account on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018.

        All applicable share and per share amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effect of December Transaction and January Transaction.

("Yubang Software") from Ms. Xiaofang Zhou in exchange for a cash consideration of RMB4,949, resulting in an increase of the Company's ownership in Yubang Software from 51% to 100%. The difference between the consideration and the carrying amount of non-controlling interest as of the acquisition date in the amount of RMB13,007 was recorded in additional paid-in capital.

        On March 21, 2017, the Yong Xiong Group disposed 100% equity interest of Hunan Yong Xin Catering Management Co., Ltd. ("Yong Xin Catering") to Changsha Yong Xiong Equity Investment Management Co., Ltd. ("Yong Xiong Equity Investment"), an entity controlled by Mr. Man Tan, at a consideration of RMB3,000, which was settled on December 19, 2018 (Note 16(b)(xi)). The difference of RMB4,919, which represents the differences between the consideration of RMB3,000 and the carrying amount of net liabilities of Yong Xin Catering as of the disposal date of RMB1,919 was recorded in additional paid-in capital.

(c)   Non-controlling interests

        On March 13, 2017, Yong Xiong Group acquired 49% equity interest in Yubang Software from Ms. Xiaofang Zhou, resulting in an increase of the Company's ownership in Yubang Software from 51% to 100%. See Note 10(b).

11 Share-based compensation

(a)   Employee Incentive Arrangement to Mr. Joe Huaqiao Zhang and Mr. Kung Chik Chiu

        On October 15, 2018, YX Asset and YX Management Holding Ltd., an entity wholly owned by Mr. Man Tan, entered into service agreements with Mr. Joe Huaqiao Zhang, or Mr. Zhang, the Executive Vice Chairman of the Company, and Mr. Kung Chik Chiu, or Mr. Chiu, the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, pursuant to which YX Management Holding Ltd. agrees to award 1.8% and 0.4% of total number of outstanding ordinary shares of YX Asset on a fully diluted basis on the date immediately preceding the closing of YX Asset's IPO to Mr. Zhang and Mr. Chiu upon the successful completion of YX Asset's IPO. The shares awarded to Mr. Zhang and Mr. Chiu will be subject to a lock up period of 2 years from the day YX Asset completes its IPO.

        Since the number of shares awarded to each individual can only be determined at the closing of YX Asset's IPO, there are no mutual understanding of the key terms and the conditions of the award between the Company and employees before the completion of the IPO. Accordingly, no compensation cost was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2018.

(b)   Employee Incentive Arrangement to 10 employees ("2018 Employee Plan")

        On October 18, 2018, Yong Xiong Group adopted a shareholders resolution approving an incentive arrangement, or the 2018 Employee Plan, pursuant to which Mr. Man Tan agreed to

award 15% equity interests of Yong Xiong Group that he held, to certain employees ("Award Recipients") as share incentives in exchange for US$4.8 million which was calculated based on the carrying amount of net assets of Yong Xiong Group as of December 31, 2017. In connection with the Reorganization, the 15% equity interests of Yong Xiong Group awarded to the employees will be replaced by the equivalent percentage of ordinary shares of YX Asset, upon the completion of the Reorganization and the employees become a party to the VIE Agreements as nominee equityholders of Yong Xiong Group. In order to receive the share incentives granted by the founder, these employees established YuXiong International Investment Ltd. ("YuXiong Investment") in British Virgin Islands on December 27, 2018. On January 11, 2019, YX Management Holding Ltd. transferred 1,500,000 ordinary shares of YX Asset to YuXiong Investment.

        The shares under the 2018 Employee Plan will be vested at the end of the fifth anniversary after YX Asset's IPO. If any employee resigns from the Company for any reason before the fifth anniversary after YX Asset's IPO, Mr. Man Tan has the right to repurchase his/her awarded shares at original price. Since IPO is not deemed probable until it is effective, no compensation expense relating to the 2018 Employee Plan was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company will recognize compensation expenses in the amount of RMB201,908 relating to the 2018 Employee Plan on a straight-line basis over a five-year period upon the completion of YX Asset's IPO.

        The estimated fair value of the underlying ordinary shares of YX Asset on the grant date was determined by management based on a retrospective valuation conducted by an independent valuation firm. The Company first determined its enterprise value by using income approach, which required the estimation of future free cash flow, and the application of an appropriate discount rate of 18.47% with reference to comparable listed companies engaged in the similar industry to convert such future cash flows to a single present value. In addition, discount for lack of marketability, taking into consideration the plans for and status of the Company's proposed initial public offering of 8.19% was applied to arrive at the fair value of the restricted shares as of October 18, 2018.

(c)   Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations

        The Company applies the practical expedient in ASC 606 to its debt collection services contracts and does not disclose information about transaction price to be allocated to the remaining performance obligation, including the variable component of the transaction price, because all the debt collection service contracts had an original expected duration of one year or less. The remaining durations of the debt collection service contracts ranged from 1 month to 11 months and 1 month to 4 months as of December 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively.

13 Income tax

Cayman Islands

        Under the current tax laws of Cayman Islands, YX Asset is not subject to income or capital gain, and no withholding tax is imposed upon the payment of dividends.

BVI

        Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the British Virgin Islands, YX International is not subject to any income tax in the British Virgin Islands.

Hong Kong

        Under the Hong Kong tax laws, YX HK is subject to the Hong Kong profits tax rate at 16.5% and it is exempted from income tax on its foreign-derived income and there are no withholding taxes in Hong Kong on remittance of dividends. A two-tiered profits tax rates regime was introduced since year 2018 where the first HK$2,000 of assessable profits earned by a company will be taxed at half of the current tax rate (8.25%) whilst the remaining profits will continue to be taxed at 16.5%. There is an anti-fragmentation measure where each group will have to nominate only one company in the group to benefit from the progressive rates. The Company did not make any provisions for Hong Kong profit tax as there were no assessable profits derived from or earned in Hong Kong for any of the periods presented.

China

        On March 16, 2007, the National People's Congress of the PRC enacted an Enterprise Income Tax Law ("EIT Law"), under which Foreign Investment Enterprises ("FIEs") and domestic companies would be subject to EIT at a uniform rate of 25%. The EIT law became effective on January 1, 2008.

        The CIT Law and its implementation rules impose a withholding income tax at 10%, unless reduced by a tax treaty or arrangement, on the amount of dividends distributed by a PRC-resident enterprise to its immediate holding company outside the PRC that are related to earnings accumulated beginning on January 1, 2008. Dividends relating to undistributed earnings generated prior to January 1, 2008 are exempt from such withholding income tax.

        The valuation allowance as of December 31, 2017 and 2018 was primarily provided for the deferred income tax assets of certain PRC subsidiaries, which were at cumulative loss positions. In assessing the realization of deferred income tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible or utilizable. Management considers projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had tax losses carryforwards of RMB19,715. Tax losses of RMB1,150, RMB2,244 and RMB16,321 will expire, if unused, by 2021, 2022 and 2023, respectively.

        A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of total unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018 is as follows:

        In 2018, the unrecognized tax benefits increased by RMB2,915, relating to the deductibility of certain business expenses incurred during the period. The accrued interest and penalties of RMB1,013 was recognized in the consolidated statements of income as components of income tax expense. The unrecognized tax benefits balance as of December 31, 2017 and 2018 were RMB6,968 and RMB9,883, all of which, if recognized upon audit settlement or statute

The Company is currently unable to provide an estimate of a range of total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that is reasonably possible to change significantly within the next twelve months.

        For the years ended December 31, 2018, a net expense of RMB1,013 for interest and penalties was recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income as components of the income tax provision.

        According to the PRC Tax Administration and Collection Law, the statute of limitation is three years if the underpayment of taxes is due to computational errors made by the taxpayer or the withholding agent. The statute of limitation is extended to five years under special circumstances where the underpayment of taxes is more than RMB100. In the case of transfer pricing issues, the statute of limitation is 10 years. There is no statute of limitation in the case of tax evasion. The income tax returns of Yong Xiong Group and its subsidiaries for the years from inception to 2018 are open to examination by the PRC tax authorities.

(a)   Basis of preparation

        The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of YX Asset Recovery Limited ("YX Asset"), its wholly owned subsidiaries and consolidated variable interest entity Hunan Yong Xiong Asset Management Group Co., Ltd. (the "Yong Xiong Group" or "VIE") and the VIE's subsidiaries (collectively, referred to hereinafter as the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted as permitted by rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2018, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended. In the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present a fair statement of the financial position as of June 30, 2019, the results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2019.

        The Company's business is seasonal and it generally generates less revenue from its debt collection services in the first quarter than the other quarters due to the traditional Lunar New Year holiday.

        The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant accounting estimates include, but not limited to, variable consideration, collectability of accounts receivable, recoverability of contract assets, the useful lives and recoverability of property and equipment and land use right, the realizability of deferred income tax assets, accrual for income tax uncertainties and the fair value of share based compensation awards, ordinary shares and convertible preferred shares. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

        The Company's operations are primarily conducted through VIE and VIE's subsidiaries. The following unaudited consolidated financial information of the Company's VIEs, Yong Xiong Group, as of December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2019, and for the six months ended

Amounts due from a related party represent the amounts due from YX Asset, which are eliminated upon consolidation.

(b)   Fair value of financial instruments

        The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, contract assets, amounts due from related parties, prepaid expenses and other current assets, short-term bank loans, income tax payable and accrued expenses and other payables as of June 30, 2019 approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

        The carrying amounts of long-term bank loan and other long-term payables as of June 30, 2019 approximate their fair values since the interest rates of these instruments approximate rates currently offered by the Company's bankers for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities.

(c)   Concentration of risks

8 Shareholders' Equity

(a)   Ordinary shares

        On March 15, 2019, Mr. Man Tan transferred 2,000,000 ordinary shares of YX Asset to a third party, Shanghai Hengxiong Enterprise Management Consulting Limited Partnership ("Zhong Ping Vehicle") in exchange for a cash consideration of RMB300,000. On the same date, YX Management Holding Ltd., an entity wholly-owned by Mr. Man Tan, transferred 60,000 ordinary shares of YX Asset to a third party, Changsha Lugu Hi-Tech Mobile Internet Venture Capital Co., Ltd ("Lugu") in exchange for a cash consideration of RMB9,000. On the same day, YX Asset re-designated 2,000,000 and 60,000 ordinary shares held by Zhong Ping Vehicle and Lugu respectively to Series A preferred shares, thus the number of authorized ordinary shares were reduced from 100,000,000 to 97,940,000 and the number of issued and outstanding ordinary shares was reduced from 10,000,000 to 7,940,000 respectively. The Company did not receive any proceeds from this transaction.

(b)   Series A preferred shares

        As described above, on March 15, 2019, 2,060,000 ordinary shares of YX Asset were transferred to Zhong Ping Vehicle and Lugu and re-designated as Series A preferred shares. According to the agreement between Mr. Man Tan, Zhong Ping Vehicle and Lugu, if YX Asset fails to complete a Qualified Initial Public Offering ("QIPO") on or before March 14, 2022, the third anniversary of the Series A preferred shares, the holders of Series A preferred shares has the option to request Mr. Man Tan and Ms. Xiaofang Zhou to redeem, up to all of the Series A preferred shares held by the investors. QIPO is defined as an Initial Public Offering of YX Asset in which the estimated value of the shares owned by Zhong Ping Vehicle shall be no less than RMB400,000, and the annualized return of the investors of Series A preferred shares shall be no less than 12%.

        YX Asset classifies Series A preferred shares as permanent equity in the consolidated balance sheets since YX Asset is not obligated in any events to redeem Series A preferred shares. The Company considered that such re-designation, in substance, was the same as repurchase and cancellation of the ordinary shares and simultaneously an issuance of the preferred shares. The difference between the fair value of the Series A preferred shares and ordinary shares was inconsequential.

Conversion Right

        Each Series A preferred shares is convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time after the issuance date according to a conversion ratio, subject to adjustments for dilution, including but not limited to share dividends, subdivisions, combinations or consolidation of ordinary shares, and certain other events. Each Series A preferred shares is convertible into a number of ordinary shares determined by dividing the applicable original issuance price by the conversion price. The conversion price of each redeemable convertible preferred share is the same as its original issuance price and no adjustments to conversion price have occurred. As of June 30, 2019, each Series A preferred shares is convertible into one ordinary share.

8 Shareholders' Equity (Continued)

        Each Series A preferred Share shall automatically be converted into ordinary share at a 1-to-1 initial conversion ratio immediately upon the closing of a QIPO, or upon the written election delivered to YX Asset by the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding Series A preferred shares to convert the Series A preferred shares to ordinary shares.

Liquidation Preference

        In the event of any liquidation prior to the QIPO, the liquidation preference of Series A preferred shares is preferable to ordinary shares. After the payment of the principle amount and annual interest of 12% to the holders of Series A preferred shares, the remaining assets of the Company available for distribution to the shareholders, if any, shall be distributed to all the shareholders (including the investors of Series A preferred shares) on a pro rata and as-converted basis.

Voting Right

        Each Series A preferred shares shall be entitled to that number of votes corresponding to the number of ordinary shares on an as-converted basis and vote together on all matters submitted for vote.

Dividend Right

        Each holder of Series A preferred shares shall be entitled to receive dividends at a simple rate of 8% of the Series A preferred shares issue price, respectively, per annum, prior and in preference to any dividend on the ordinary shares. Such dividends shall be payable only when, as, and if declared by board of directors and shall be noncumulative.

        Each holder of Series A preferred shares shall participate in any subsequent distribution among the ordinary shares and Series A preferred shares pro rata based on the number of ordinary shares held by such holder of Series A preferred shares (calculated on an as-converted basis).

9 Share-based compensation

Employee Incentive Arrangement to 10 employees ("2018 Employee Plan")

        On May 20, 2019, Mr. Zhongwen Wu, an employee who has been awarded 130,000 ordinary shares of YX Asset held by the founder pursuant to the 2018 Employee Plan, resigned from the Company. Mr. Man Tan has decided not to repurchase from the employee the awarded shares at original price, according to the original vesting condition. It represents a modification of accelerating vesting that at the date of the modification, the award is not expected to vest under the original vesting condition. Hence, total compensation cost recognized is equal to the modified award's fair value at the date of the modification. Compensation cost of RMB26,510 was recognized immediately as general and administrative expenses upon the modification.

(In thousands of RMB, except share data and per share data)

9 Share-based compensation (Continued)

        The estimated fair value of the underlying ordinary shares of YX Asset on the modification day was determined by management based on a retrospective valuation conducted by an independent valuation firm. The Company first determined its enterprise value by using income approach, which required the estimation of future free cash flow, and the application of an appropriate discount rate of 16.60% with reference to comparable listed companies engaged in the similar industry to convert such future cash flows to a single present value. In addition, the Company determined the value of preferred shares and ordinary shares by using equity allocation method with expected volatility and risk free interest rate of 53.17% and 2.36%, respectively. Discount for lack of marketability, taking into consideration the plans for and status of the Company's proposed initial public offering and post-vesting condition of restricted share of 10.81% was applied to arrive at the fair value of the restricted shares as of May 20, 2019

(c)   Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations

        The Company applies the practical expedient in ASC 606 to its remaining debt collection service contracts and does not disclose information about transaction price to be allocated to the remaining performance obligation, including the variable component of the transaction price, because all the remaining debt collection service contracts had an original expected duration of one year or less. The remaining durations of the debt collection service contracts ranged from 1 month to 7 months and 1 month to 4 months as of December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2019, respectively.

11 Government grants

        Government grants for the six months ended June 30, 2019 mainly include the financial support of RMB6,707 received from local government of Xinhua County in the PRC with no future related costs or obligations.

12 Income tax

        The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2019 was 26% and 48% respectively. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2018 differs from the PRC statutory income tax rate of 25% primarily due to the effect of the unrecognized tax benefits and change in valuation allowance, partially offset by the effect of the preferential income tax rate Yubang Software enjoyed. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019 differs from the PRC statutory income tax rate of 25% primarily due to the effect of non-deductible share-based compensation expense and change in valuation allowance, partially offset by the effect of the preferential income tax rate Yubang Software enjoyed.

        In the six months ended June 30, 2019, the unrecognized tax benefits increased by RMB314, relating to the deductibility of certain business expenses of RMB17 incurred during the period, interest of RMB484 incurred for unrecognized tax benefits balance and tax settlement of RMB(187) for rental expense without invoice via tax return filing. The unrecognized tax benefits balance as of June 30, 2019 was RMB10,197, all of which, if recognized upon audit settlement or statute expiration, would affect the effective tax rate. The Company is currently unable to provide an estimate of a range of total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that is reasonably possible to change significantly within the next twelve months.

        During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2019, a net expense of RMB507 and a net expense of RMB484, respectively, for interest and penalties was recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income as income tax expenses.

13 Earnings per share

        Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. All applicable share and per share amounts in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effect as if those shares were issued as of the earliest date presented.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

ITEM 6.    INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

        Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company's articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime.

        The post-offering fourth amended and restated memorandum and articles of association that we expect to adopt and to become effective immediately prior to the completion of this offering provide that we should indemnify our directors and officers (each an indemnified person) against all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities incurred or sustained by such indemnified person, other than by reason of such person's own dishonesty, willful default or fraud, in or about the conduct of our company's business or affairs (including as a result of any mistake of judgment) or in the execution or discharge of his duties, powers, authorities or discretions, including without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, any costs, expenses, losses or liabilities incurred by such indemnified person in defending (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil proceedings concerning our company or its affairs in any court whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere.

        Pursuant to the indemnification agreements, the form of which will be filed as Exhibit 10.4 to this registration statement, we agree to indemnify our directors and executive officers against certain liabilities and expenses incurred by such persons in connection with claims made by reason of their being such a director or officer.

        The underwriting agreement, the form of which will be filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this registration statement, will also provide for indemnification by the underwriters of us and our officers and directors for certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act, but only to the extent that such liabilities are caused by information relating to the underwriters furnished to us in writing expressly for use in this registration statement and certain other disclosure documents.

        Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

    (3)

Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

Such initial Series A Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided.  Nothing in this Article 15.1 (a) shall limit the automatic conversion rights of the Series A Preferred Shares described in Article 15.1 (b) below.

 

(b)                                                   Automatic Conversion.

 

Each Series A Preferred Share shall automatically be converted into the Ordinary Shares at the then effective Series A Conversion Price upon (i) the closing of the Qualified Initial Public Offering, or (ii) upon the written election delivered to the Company by the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding Series A Preferred Shares to convert the Series A Preferred Shares into the Ordinary Shares. In the event of the automatic conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares pursuant to the foregoing clause (i) of this Article 15.1 (b), the person(s) entitled to receive

 

14


 

the Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares shall not be deemed to have converted such Series A Preferred Shares until immediately prior to the closing of such transaction.

 

(c)                                                    Mechanics of Conversion.  No fractional Ordinary Share shall be issued upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares.  In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then effective Series A Conversion Price.

 

(i)                   In the event of an optional conversion pursuant to Article 15.1 (a), before any Series A Preferred Holder shall be entitled to convert the same into the Ordinary Shares and to receive certificates therefor, such Series A Preferred Holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Company or of any transfer agent for the Series A Preferred Shares to be converted and shall give written notice to the Company at such office that such Series A Preferred Holder elects to convert the same.  The Company shall promptly update the Register of Members and issue and deliver at such office to such Series A Preferred Holder a certificate or certificates for the number of the Ordinary Shares to which such Series A Preferred Holder shall be entitled as aforesaid and a check payable to such Series A Preferred Holder in the amount of any cash amounts payable (if any) as the result of a conversion into fractional Ordinary Shares.  Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the certificate or certificates representing the Series A Preferred Shares to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Ordinary Shares on such date.

 

(ii)                In the event of an automatic conversion pursuant to Article 15.1(b), each Series A Preferred Holder will be given at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the date fixed (which date shall in the case of the Qualified Initial Public Offering be the latest practicable date immediately prior to the closing of the Qualified Initial Public Offering) and the place designated for automatic conversion of all such Series A Preferred Shares pursuant to this Article 15.  Such notice shall be sent by overnight courier, postage prepaid, to such Series A Preferred Holder at its address appearing on the Register of Members.  On or before the date fixed for conversion, each Series A Preferred Holder shall surrender his or its certificate or certificates for all such shares to the Company at the place designated in such notice, and shall promptly receive certificates for the number of the Ordinary Shares to which such Series A Preferred Holder is entitled pursuant to this Article 15 and a cheque denominated in US$ payable to such Series A Preferred Holder in the amount of any cash amounts payable as a result of a conversion into fractional Ordinary Shares.  On the date fixed for conversion, the Register of Members shall be updated to show that the converted Series A Preferred Shares have been redeemed and all rights with respect to the Series A

 

15


 

Preferred Shares so converted will terminate, with the exception of the rights of the holders thereof, upon surrender of the certificate or certificates therefor, to receive the Ordinary Shares (which shall be recorded as issued to such holder in the Register of Members) and certificates for the number of the Ordinary Shares into which such Series A Preferred Shares have been converted and payment of any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon.  All certificates evidencing the Series A Preferred Shares which are required to be surrendered for conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof shall, from and after the date such certificates are so required to be surrendered, be deemed to have been retired and cancelled and the Series A Preferred Shares represented thereby converted into the Ordinary Shares for all purposes, notwithstanding the failure of the holder or holders thereof to surrender such certificates on or prior to such date.

 

(iii)             The Directors of the Company may effect such conversion in any manner available under applicable law, including redeeming or repurchasing the relevant Series A Preferred Shares and applying the proceeds thereof towards payment for the new Ordinary Shares.  For purposes of the repurchase or redemption, the Directors may, subject to the Company being able to pay its debts in the ordinary course of business, make payments out of its capital.

 

15.2                        The Series B Preferred Holder has conversion rights as set forth in Schedule B attached hereto.

 

15.3                        Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion.  The Company shall at all times keep available out of its authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares or Series B Preferred Shares such number of its Ordinary Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Series A Preferred Shares or Series B Preferred Shares, and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding Series A Preferred Shares or Series B Preferred Shares, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the Series A Preferred Holders or the Series B Preferred Holders, the Company and its Members will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

(ii)                  if such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Company, or increase or decrease in the number of the Ordinary Shares issuable, upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, the Series A Conversion Price for each affected Series A Preferred Share or the Series B Conversion Price for each affected Series B Preferred Share, computed upon the original issue thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon any such increase or decrease becoming effective, be recomputed to reflect such increase or decrease insofar as it affects such Options or the rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities;

 

(iii)               upon the expiration of any such Options or any rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities which shall not have been exercised, the Series A Conversion Price for each affected Series A Preferred Share or the Series B Conversion Price for each affected Series B Preferred Share computed upon the original issue thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon such expiration, be recomputed as if:

 

(A)                               in the case of the Convertible Securities or the Options for the Ordinary Shares, the only Additional Ordinary Shares issued were

 

19


 

the Ordinary Shares, if any, actually issued upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and the consideration received therefor was the consideration actually received by the Company for the issue of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration actually received by the Company upon such exercise, or for the issue of all such Convertible Securities which were actually converted or exchanged, plus the additional consideration, if any, actually received by the Company upon such conversion or exchange, and

 

(B)                               in the case of the Options for the Convertible Securities, only the Convertible Securities, if any, actually issued upon the exercise thereof were issued at the time of issue of such Options, and the consideration received by the Company for the Additional Ordinary Shares deemed to have been then issued was the consideration actually received by the Company for the issue of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration deemed to have been received by the Company upon the issue of the Convertible Securities with respect to which such Options were actually exercised;

20


 

Shares without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Series A Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then and in such event, the Series A Conversion Price shall (except as otherwise provided in this Article 16) be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price equal to a price determined as follows:

 

NCPa = OCPa × (OSa + (NPa/OCPa))/(OSa + NSa)

 

WHERE:

 

NCPa = the new Series A Conversion Price,

 

OCPa = the Series A Conversion Price in effect immediately before the issuance of the New Securities,

 

OSa = the total outstanding Series A Preferred Shares immediately before the issuance of the New Securities,

 

NPa = the total consideration received for the issuance or sale of the New Securities, and

NCPb = OCPb × (OSb + (NPb/OCPb))/(OSb + NSb)

 

21


 

WHERE:

 

NCPb = the new Series B Conversion Price,

 

OCPb = the Series B Conversion Price in effect immediately before the issuance of the New Securities, as calculated pursuant to Section 2.1 of the Exhibit C to the Series B Preferred Shares Purchase Agreement.

 

OSb = the total Ordinary Shares as converted using OCPb before the adjustment hereunder from the outstanding Series B Preferred Shares immediately before the issuance of the New Securities,

 

NPb = the total consideration received for the issuance or sale of the New Securities, and

 

NSb = the number of New Securities issued or sold or deemed issued or sold.

 

(e)                                                  Determination of Consideration.  For purposes of this Article 16, the consideration received by the Company for the issue of any Additional Ordinary Shares shall be computed as follows:

 

(i)                     Cash and Property.  Except as provided in clause (ii) below, such consideration shall:

 

(A)                               insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by the Company excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest or accrued dividends;

 

(B)                               insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board; provided, however, that no value shall be attributed to any services performed by any employee, officer or director of the Company; and

 

(C)                               in the event the Additional Ordinary Shares are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Company for consideration which covers both such Additional Ordinary Shares

 

22


 

and such other shares or securities or other assets, be the proportion of such consideration so received with respect to such Additional Ordinary Shares, computed as provided in clauses (A) and (B) above, as determined in good faith by the Board.

 

(ii)                  Options and Convertible Securities.  The consideration per share received by the Company for the Additional Ordinary Shares deemed to have been issued pursuant to Article 16(c), relating to the Options and the Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing:

 

(A)                               the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company (net of any selling concessions, discounts or commissions) as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Company upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of the Options for the Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for the Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities by

 

(B)                               the maximum number of the Ordinary Shares (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

 

(f)                                                   Adjustments for Shares Dividends, Subdivisions, Combinations or Consolidations of Ordinary Shares.  In the event the outstanding Ordinary Shares shall be subdivided (by share dividend, share split, or otherwise) into a greater number of the Ordinary Shares, the Series A Conversion Price and the Series B Conversion Price then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately decreased.  In the event the outstanding Ordinary Shares shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of the Ordinary Shares, the Series A Conversion Price and the Series B Conversion Price then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately increased.

 

(g)                                                  Adjustments for Other Distributions.  In the event the Company at any time or from time to time makes, or files a record date for, the determination of holders of Ordinary Shares entitled to receive any distribution payable in securities or assets of the Company other than the Ordinary Shares, then and in each such event provision shall be made so that the Series A Preferred Holders or the Series B Preferred Holders shall receive upon conversion thereof, in addition to the number of the Ordinary Shares receivable thereupon, the amount of securities or assets of the Company which they would have received had its Series A Preferred Shares or

 

23


 

Series B Preferred Shares been converted into the Ordinary Shares on the date of such event and had they thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the date of conversion, retained such securities or assets receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, subject to all other adjustment called for during such period under this Article 16 with respect to the rights of the holders of the Preferred Shares.

 

(h)                                                 Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution.  If the Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares or the Series B Preferred Shares shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes of shares, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares provided for above), then and in each such event each Series A Preferred Holder or the Series B Preferred Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert such share into the kind and amount of shares and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization or reclassification or other change by holders of the number of Ordinary Shares that would have been subject to receipt by the holders upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares or the Series B Preferred Shares immediately before that change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

 

(i)                                                     No Impairment.  The Company will not, by amendment of its Memorandum and Articles of Association or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of Article 16 and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the Series A Preferred Shares and Series B Preferred Shares against impairment.

 

(j)                                                    Certificate as to Adjustments.  Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Series A Conversion Price or the Series B Conversion Price pursuant to this Article 16, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each Series A Preferred Holder or Series B Preferred Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.  The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of any Series A Preferred Holder or Series B Preferred Holder, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Series A Conversion Price or the Series B Conversion Price at the time in effect, and (iii) the number of the Ordinary Shares and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares or the Series B Preferred Shares.

 

24


 

(k)                                                 Waiver of Adjustments.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any downward adjustment of the Series A Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Shares or the Series B Conversion Price of the Series B Preferred Shares may be waived by the consent or vote of the holders of the majority of the outstanding shares of such series or upon the unanimous consent of the Board either before or after the issuance causing the adjustment.

 

(l)                                                     Miscellaneous.

 

(i)                     All calculations under this Article 16 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth (1/100) of a share, as the case may be.

 

(ii)                  The Series A Preferred Holder who owns no less than 5% of the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares or the Series B Preferred Holder who owns no less than 5% of the outstanding Series B Preferred Shares shall have the right to challenge, by way of written notice presented to the Company and signed by such Series A Preferred Holder or Series B Preferred Holder, any determination by the Board of fair value pursuant to this Article 16 if such determination is with respect to an Series A Conversion Price adjustment or Series B Conversion Price adjustment, in which case such determination of fair value shall be made by an independent appraiser selected jointly by the Board and the challenging parties, the cost of such appraisal to be borne equally by the Company and the challenging parties.

 

(iii)               No adjustment shall be made to the Series A Conversion Price or the Series B Conversion Price if such adjustment would result in the Series A Conversion Price or the Series B Conversion Price being less than the par value of the Ordinary Shares into which the Series A Preferred Shares or the Series B Preferred Shares are to be converted.

 

NOTICES OF RECORD DATE

 

17.                               Subject to and without prejudice to Article 19 and the Shareholders Agreement, in the event that the Company shall propose at any time:

Each such written notice shall be delivered personally or given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to each Series A Preferred Holder at the address for each such holder as shown on the books of the Company.

 

PUT OPTION

 

18.                               (a)                                                   If the Company fails to complete the Qualified Initial Public Offering on or prior to the third (3rd) anniversary of the Series A Original Issue Date and subject to the Statute, at the option of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares, the Founders shall, jointly and severally, purchase all or part of the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares held by the Series A Preferred Holders out of funds legally available therefor including capital, at a price (the “Series A Preferred Principal Put Price”) per Series A Preferred Share equal to the Series A Issue Price.

 

(b)                                                 After the payment of the Series A Preferred Principal Put Price and to the extent the holders of a majority of the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares elect for sale of the Series A Preferred Shares pursuant to this Article 18, the Founders shall, jointly and severally, pay to each Series A Preferred Holder, out of funds legally available therefor including capital, an interest (the “Series A Put Interest”) per Series A Preferred Share that is equal to:

 

IP × (0.12) × N

 

WHERE

 

26


 

IP = Series A Issue Price, and

 

N = the number of calendar days that have elapsed since the Series A Original Issue Date divided by 365 days until the date when all the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares are fully purchased; and

 

provided that the purchase price of all the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares held by the Series A Preferred Holders in Articles 18(a) and 18(b) shall deduct all the accrued and paid dividends and interests of such Series A Preferred Shares to the Series A Preferred Holders.

 

(c)                                                  A notice of exercising the put option by the Series A Preferred Holders shall be given by hand or by mail to the registered office of the Company at any time on or after the date (“Put Start Date”) falling thirty (30) days before the date on which the Series A Preferred Shares are to be purchased (the “Put Date”) by the Founders, provided, however, that the Put Date shall be no earlier than the Put Start Date or the date thirty (30) days after such notice of exercising the put option is given, whichever is later.

 

(d)                                                 Upon exercising the put option by the Series A Preferred Holders, the Series A Principle Put Price and the Series A Put Interest shall be payable to the Series A Preferred Holders by the Founders.  In the event that all the Series A Preferred Shares under the put option are to be purchased by the Founders, the certificate representing such Series A Preferred Shares shall be cancelled and the register of members shall be updated accordingly.  In the event that less than all the shares represented by any Series A Preferred Holder’s certificate are purchased by the Founders, a new certificate shall be promptly issued representing the remaining shares held by such Series A Preferred Holder and the register of members shall be updated accordingly.  All dividends on such Series A Preferred Shares designated for the put option and to be purchased by the Founders shall accrue until the date that the Series A Preferred Holders cease to be a member of the Company as showed on the register of members of the Company, and all rights of such Series A Preferred Holder thereof, except the right to receive the Series A Preferred Principal Put Price and the Series A Put Interest thereof (including all accrued and unpaid dividends up to the Put Date), without interest, shall cease and terminate until the date that the Series A Preferred Holders cease to be a member of the Company as showed on the register of members of the Company.  The Series A Preferred Shares to be purchased by the Founders shall be redesignated as the Ordinary Shares immediately after such purchase of the Series A Preferred Shares by the Founders. The Company agrees to make its best efforts to coordinate with

 

27


 

the registered office of the Company and the Founders to purchase such Series A Preferred Shares at the option of the Series A Preferred Holders.  The Series A Preferred Shares (i) that should have been purchased by the Founders under the put option, jointly and severally, through the full payment of the applicable Series A Preferred Principal Put Price and Series A Put Interest, but which have not been purchased due to the applicable Series A Preferred Principal Put Price and Series A Put Interest not being paid in full or (ii) that have not been purchased by the Founders, shall remain outstanding and entitled to all the rights, preferences and privileges provided in the Shareholders Agreement and these Articles, and such Series A Preferred Shares shall be carried forward and purchased as soon as the Founders have legally available funds to do so.

LIEN ON SHARES

 

21.                               The Company shall have a first and paramount lien and charge on all shares (whether fully paid-up or not) registered in the name of a Member (whether solely or jointly with others) for all debts, liabilities or engagements to or with the Company (whether presently payable or not) by such Member or his estate, either alone or jointly with any other person, whether a Member or not, but the Directors may at any time declare any share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this Article.  The registration of a transfer of any such share shall operate as a waiver of the Company’s lien (if any) thereon.  The Company’s lien (if any) on a share shall extend to all dividends or other amounts payable in respect of that share.

 

22.                               The Company may sell, in such manner as the Directors think fit, any shares on which the Company has a lien, if a sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable, and is not paid within fourteen (14) days after a notice in writing has been given to the registered holder or holders for the time being of the shares, or the person, of which the Company has notice, entitled thereto by reason of the death or bankruptcy of the holder, demanding payment and stating that if the notice is not complied with the shares may be sold.

 

23.                               To give effect to any such sale, the Directors may authorize any person to execute an instrument of transfer of the shares sold to, or in accordance with the directions of, the purchaser.  The purchaser or his nominee shall be registered as the holder of the shares comprised in any such transfer, and he shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall his title to the shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the sale or the exercise of the Company’s power of sale under these Articles.

 

24.                               The net proceeds of such sale after payment of costs shall be applied in payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable, and the residue shall (subject to a like lien for sums not presently payable as existed upon the shares before the sale) be paid to the person entitled to the shares at the date of the sale.

 

CALL ON SHARES

 

25.                               (a)                                                 Subject to the terms of the allotment, the Directors may from time to time make calls upon the Members in respect of any monies unpaid on their shares (whether in respect of par value or premium or otherwise), and each Member shall (subject to receiving at least fourteen (14) days’ notice specifying the time or times of

 

30


 

payment) pay to the Company at the time or times so specified the amount called on the shares.  A call may be revoked or postponed as the Directors may determine.  A call may be made payable by installments. A person upon whom a call is made shall remain liable for calls made upon him notwithstanding the subsequent transfer of the shares in respect of which the call was made.

 

(b)                                                 A call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the Directors authorizing such call was passed.

 

(c)                                                  The joint holders of a share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect thereof.

 

26.                               If a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable, the person from whom it is due shall pay interest on the amount unpaid from the day it became due and payable until it is paid at such rate as the Directors may determine, but the Directors may waive payment of the interest either wholly or in part.

 

27.                               An amount payable in respect of a share on allotment or at any fixed date, whether on account of the par value or premium or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a call, and if it is not paid, all the provisions of these Articles shall apply as if such amount had become payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

 

28.                               The Directors may issue shares with different terms as to the amount and times of payment of calls or interest to be paid.

 

29.                               (a)                                             The Directors may, if they think fit, receive from any Member willing to advance all or any part of the monies uncalled and unpaid upon any shares held by him, and may (until the amount would otherwise become payable) pay interest at such rate as may be agreed upon between the Directors and the Member paying such amount in advance.

 

(b)                                             No such amount paid in advance of calls shall entitle the Member paying such amount to any portion of a dividend declared in respect of any period prior to the date upon which such amount would, but for such payment, become payable.

 

31


 

FORFEITURE OF SHARES

 

30.                               (a)                                             If a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable the Directors may give to the person from whom it is due not less than fourteen (14) days’ notice requiring payment of the amount unpaid together with any interest, which may have accrued.  The notice shall specify where payment is to be made and shall state that if the notice is not complied with the shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited.

 

(b)                                             If the notice is not complied with any share in respect of which it was given may, before the payment required by the notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors.  Such forfeiture shall include all dividends or other monies declared payable in respect of the forfeited share and not paid before the forfeiture.

 

31.                               A forfeited share may be sold or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the Directors think fit, and at any time before a sale or disposition, the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors see fit.

 

32.                               A person whose shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Member in respect of the forfeited shares, but shall, notwithstanding, remain liable to pay to the Company all monies which, at the date of forfeiture, were payable by him to the Company in respect of the shares together with interest thereon, but his liability shall cease if and when the Company shall have received payment in full of all monies whenever payable in respect of the shares.

 

33.                               A certificate in writing under the hand of one Director or the Secretary of the Company that a share in the Company has been duly forfeited on a date stated in the declaration shall be conclusive evidence of the fact therein stated as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the share.  The certificate shall (subject to the execution of an instrument of transfer) constitute good title to the share and the person to whom the share is sold or disposed of shall thereupon be registered as the holder of the share and shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, if any, nor shall his title to the share be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture, sale or disposal of the share.

 

32


 

34.                               The provisions of these Articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non-payment of any sum which, by the terms of issue of a share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on account of the nominal value of the share or by way of premium as if the same had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified. Without prejudice to any right or power of the Company arising under these Articles, the Company may accept the surrender of a Share (not being a fully paid share) in lieu of forfeiture under the Statute.

 

TRANSMISSION OF SHARES

 

35.                               In case of the death of a Member, the survivor or survivors where the deceased was a joint holder, and the legal personal representatives of the deceased where he was a sole holder, shall be the only persons recognized by the Company as having any title to his interest in the shares, but nothing herein contained shall release the estate of any such deceased holder from any liability in respect of any shares which had been held by him solely or jointly with other persons.

 

36.                               (a)                                             Any person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other way than by transfer) may, upon such evidence being produced as may from time to time be required by the Directors and subject as hereinafter provided, elect either to be registered himself as holder of the share or to make some person nominated by him as the transferee, but the Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the share by that Member before his death or bankruptcy as the case may be.

 

(b)                                             If the person so becoming entitled shall elect to be registered himself as holder he shall deliver or send to the Company a notice in writing signed by him stating that he so elects.

 

37.                               A person becoming entitled to a share by reason of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of the holder (or in any other case than by transfer) shall be entitled to the same dividends and other advantages to which he would be entitled if he were the registered holder of the share, except that he shall not, before being registered as a Member in respect of the share, be entitled in respect of it to exercise any right conferred by membership in relation to meetings of the Company; provided, however, that the Directors may at any time give notice requiring any such person to elect either to be registered himself or to transfer the share, and if the notice is not complied with within ninety days, the Directors may thereafter withhold payment of all dividends, bonuses or other monies payable in respect of the share until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.

58

CERTAIN RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF SERIES A PREFERRED SHARES

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Schedule A shall have the meanings given to them in the Shareholders Agreement.

 

1.                                      INFORMATION RIGHTS AND INSPECTION RIGHTS.

 

1.1                               Information Rights.  The Company covenants and agrees that, commencing on the date of the Shareholders Agreement, for so long as any Series A Preferred Shares issued under the Purchase Agreement (or Ordinary Shares issued upon conversion of Series A Preferred Shares) are outstanding, the Group Companies will deliver to each holder of the Series A Preferred Shares (or the Ordinary Shares issued upon conversion of Series A Preferred Shares):

 

(a)                                 audited annual consolidated financial statements, within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Group Companies, prepared in accordance with the PRC generally accepted accounting principles or any other standard approved by the Board and audited by a “Big 4” accounting firm or any other accounting firm approved by the Board including the affirmative vote of the Series A Director;

All financial statements to be provided to the Series A Preferred Holders pursuant to this Section 1.1(a) shall include an income statement, a balance sheet and a cash flow statement for the relevant period and items (b) and (c) above shall be prepared in accordance with the PRC generally acceptable accounting principles or other accounting standards approved by the Board.

2.1                               General.  The Series A Preferred Holders and its permitted transferees to which rights under this Section 2 have been duly assigned in accordance with Section 5 of the Shareholders Agreement (each a “Participation Rights Holder”) shall have the right of first refusal to purchase such Participation Rights Holder’s Pro Rata Share (as defined below) of all (or any part) of any New Securities (as defined in Section 2.3) that the Company may from time to time issue after the date of the Shareholders Agreement (the “Right of Participation”).

 

2.2                               Pro Rata Share.  A Participation Rights Holder’s “Pro Rata Share” for purposes of the Right of Participation is the ratio of (a) the number of the Ordinary Shares (calculated on a fully diluted and as-converted basis) held by such Participation Rights Holder, to (b) the total number of the Ordinary Shares (calculated on a fully diluted and as-converted basis) then outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of New Securities giving rise to the Right of Participation.

 

2.3                               New Securities.  “New Securities” shall mean any Equity Securities of the Company, provided, however, that the term “New Securities” shall not include:

 

(a)                                 any Series A Preferred Shares issued or designated under the Purchase Agreement, as such agreement may be amended, and any Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the conversion thereof;

 

(b)                                 any securities issued in connection with any share split, share dividend or other similar event in which all Participation Rights Holders are entitled to participate on a pro rata basis;

 

2


 

(c)                                  any securities issued upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any outstanding security immediately prior to the Closing if such outstanding security constituted a New Security (provided that the existence of such outstanding security has been disclosed to the Series A Preferred Holders prior to the Closing);

 

(d)                                 any securities issued pursuant to a Qualified Initial Public Offering (as such term is defined in the Memorandum and Articles);

 

(e)                                  any securities issued pursuant to the ESOP;

 

(f)                                   any securities issued pursuant to the acquisition of another corporation or entity by the Company for aggregate consideration in excess of 10% of the net assets as of the end of the audited consolidated financial accounting report of the latest fiscal year  by consolidation, merger, purchase of assets, or other reorganization in which the Company acquires, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, all or substantially all assets of such other corporation or entity, or fifty percent (50%) or more of the equity ownership or voting power of such other corporation or entity, approved by at least seventy percent (70%) of the members of the Board, including the affirmative vote of the Series A Director;

(h)                                 any securities issued or issuable in connection with any settlement of any action, suit, proceeding or litigation approved by at least seventy percent (70%) of the members of the Board, including the affirmative vote of the Series A Director; or

 

(i)                                    any securities issued or issuable to suppliers or third party service providers in connection with the provision of goods or services pursuant to transactions approved by at least seventy percent (70%) of the members of the Board, including the affirmative vote of the Series A Director.

 

2.4                               Procedures

 

(a)                                 First Participation Notice.  In the event that the Company proposes to

 

3


 

undertake an issuance of New Securities (in a single transaction or a series of related transactions), it shall give to each Participation Rights Holder written notice of its intention to issue the New Securities (the “First Participation Notice”), describing the amount and type of the New Securities, the price and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue such New Securities.  Each Participation Rights Holder shall have twenty (20) Business Days from the date of receipt of any such First Participation Notice to agree in writing to purchase such Participation Rights Holder’s Pro Rata Share of such New Securities for the price and upon the terms and conditions specified in the First Participation Notice by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased (not to exceed such Participation Rights Holder’s Pro Rata Share).  If any Participation Rights Holder fails to so agree in writing within such twenty (20) Business Day period to purchase such Participation Rights Holder’s full Pro Rata Share of an offering of New Securities, then such Participation Rights Holder shall forfeit the right hereunder to purchase that part of its Pro Rata Share of such New Securities that it did not agree to purchase.

 

(b)                                 Second Participation Notice; Oversubscription.  If any Participation Rights Holder fails or declines to exercise its Right of Participation in accordance with subsection (a) above, the Company shall promptly give notice (the “Second Participation Notice”) to other Participation Rights Holders who exercised their Right of Participation (the “Right Participants”) in accordance with subsection (a) above.  Each Right Participant shall have ten (10) Business Days from the date of the Second Participation Notice (the “Second Participation Period”) to notify the Company of its desire to purchase more than its Pro Rata Share of the New Securities, stating the number of the additional New Securities it proposes to buy (the “Additional Number of Issued Securities”).  Such notice may be made by telephone if confirmed in writing within two (2) Business Days.  If, as a result thereof, such oversubscription exceeds the total number of the remaining New Securities that are subject to the Right of Participation of each Series A Preferred Holder available for purchase, the number of New Securities being purchased by each oversubscribing Right Participant will be cut back by the Company with respect to its oversubscription to that number of those remaining New Securities equal to the lesser of (x) the Additional Number of Issued Securities and (y) the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of the remaining New Securities available for subscription by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Ordinary Shares (calculated on a fully diluted and as-converted basis) held by such oversubscribing Right Participant and the denominator of which is the total number of Ordinary Shares (calculated on a fully diluted and as-converted basis) held by all the oversubscribing Right Participants.  Each Right Participant who has exercised its right to purchase the Additional Number of Issued Securities shall be obligated to buy such number of New Securities as determined by the Company pursuant to this Section 2.4 and the Company shall so notify the Right Participants within fifteen (15) Business Days following the date of the Second Participation Notice.

 

2.5                               Failure to Exercise.  Upon the expiration of the Second Participation Period, or in the event no Participation Rights Holder exercises the Right of Participation within ten (10) days following the issuance of the First Participation Notice, the Company shall have ninety (90) days thereafter to sell the New Securities described in the First Participation Notice (with respect to which the Right of Participation hereunder was not exercised) at the same or a higher price and upon

 

4


 

non-price terms not materially more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the First Participation Notice.  In the event that the Company has not issued and sold such New Securities within such ninety (90) day period, then the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without again first offering such New Securities to the Participation Rights Holders pursuant to this Section 2.

 

2.6                               Termination.  The Right of Participation for each Participation Rights Holder shall terminate upon the Qualified Initial Public Offering.

 

3.                                      TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS.

 

3.1                               Certain Definitions.  For the purposes of this Section 3, “Ordinary Holder” means the Founders, the Holdcos and their permitted assignees to whom their rights under this Section 3 have been duly assigned in accordance with the Shareholders Agreement; “Preferred Holder” means the Series A Preferred Holders and its permitted assignees to whom its rights under this Section 3 have been duly assigned in accordance with the Shareholders Agreement; “Restricted Shares” means any of the Company’s Equity Securities now owned or subsequently acquired by any Ordinary Holder.

 

3.2                               Sale of Restricted Shares; Notice of Sale.  Subject to Section 3.6 of this Schedule, if any Ordinary Holder (the “Selling Shareholder”) proposes to directly or indirectly sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise encumber or dispose of in any way (“Transfer”, and “Transferred” shall have a correlative meaning) any Restricted Shares held by it, then the Selling Shareholder shall promptly give written notice (the “Transfer Notice”) to each Preferred Holder and the Company prior to such Transfer.  The Transfer Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed Transfer, including, without limitation, the number of Restricted Shares to be Transferred (the “Offered Shares”), the nature of such Transfer, the consideration to be paid, and the name and address of each prospective purchaser or transferee.

 

3.3                               Right of First Refusal.

 

(a)                                 Preferred Holders’ Option.  Each Preferred Holder shall have the right, exercisable upon written notice to the Selling Shareholder, the Company and each other Preferred Holder, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Transfer Notice (the “Preferred First Refusal Period”), to elect to purchase all or any part of its pro rata share of the Offered Shares equivalent to the product obtained by multiplying the aggregate number of the Offered Shares by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Ordinary Shares  (calculated on an as-converted basis) held by such Preferred Holder at the time of the transaction and the denominator of which is the

 

5


 

total number of Ordinary Shares (calculated on an as-converted basis) owned by all the Preferred Holders at the time of the transaction, at the same price and subject to the same material terms and conditions as described in the Transfer Notice.

 

(b)                                 If any Preferred Holder fails or declines to exercise its right of first refusal in accordance with the paragraph above, the Selling Shareholder shall provide a written notice to each Preferred Holder that fully exercises its right of first refusal in accordance with the paragraph above regarding such Preferred Holder’s rights to purchase additional Offered Shares (“Overallotment Notice”). Each Preferred Holder that fully exercises its right of first refusal shall notify the Selling Shareholder and the Company within seven (7) days following the receipt of the Overallotment Notice of its desire to purchase more than its pro rata share of the Offered Shares, stating the number of the additional Offered Shares it proposes to buy for each such exercising Preferred Holder (the “Additional Number of Offered Shares”).  If, as a result thereof, the number of shares desired to be purchased by such Preferred Holders that exercise the overallotment right exceeds the total number of the remaining Offered Shares that are available for purchase, the number of Offered Shares being purchased by each such exercising Preferred Holder will be cut back to that number of those remaining Offered Shares equal to the lesser of (x) the Additional Number of Offered Shares and (y) the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of the remaining Offered Shares available for purchase by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Ordinary Shares (calculated on an as-converted basis) held by such purchasing Preferred Holder that exercise the overallotment right and the denominator of which is the total number of Ordinary Shares (calculated on an as-converted basis) held by all exercising Preferred Holders that exercise the overallotment right.

 

(c)                                  Expiration Notice.  Within fifteen (15) days after expiration of the Preferred First Refusal Period, the Company will give written notice (the “First Refusal Expiration Notice”) to the Selling Shareholder specifying either (i) that all of the Offered Shares were subscribed by the Preferred Holders exercising their rights of first refusal or (ii) that the Preferred Holders have not subscribed all of the Offered Shares, in which case the First Refusal Expiration Notice will specify the Co-Sale Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) of the remaining Offered Shares for the purpose of their co-sale rights described in Section 3.4 below.

 

(d)                                 Purchase Price.  The purchase price for the Offered Shares to be purchased by the Preferred Holders exercising their right of first refusal will be the price set forth in the Transfer Notice (except as otherwise provided herein), but will be payable as set forth in Section 3.3(e).  If the purchase price in the Transfer Notice includes consideration other than cash, the cash equivalent value of the non-cash consideration will be determined by an independent professional appraiser to be appointed by the Selling Shareholder and the Preferred Holder, which determination will be binding upon the Preferred Holders and the Selling Shareholder, absent fraud or error.

 

6


 

(e)                                  Payment.  Payment of the purchase price for the Offered Shares purchased by the Preferred Holders shall be made by wire transfer or check as directed by the Selling Shareholder.

 

(f)                                   Rights of a Selling Shareholder.  If any Preferred Holder exercises its right of first refusal to purchase the Offered Shares, then, upon the date the notice of such exercise is given by such Preferred Holder, the Selling Shareholder will have no further rights as a holder of such Offered Shares except the right to receive payment for such Offered Shares from such Preferred Holder in accordance with the terms of the Shareholders Agreement and this Schedule, and the Selling Shareholder will forthwith deliver a signed instrument of transfer in respect of the relevant Offered Shares and cause all certificate(s) evidencing such Offered Shares to be surrendered to the Company  and the Register of Members shall be updated and share certificates issued to such Preferred Holder.

 

(g)                                  Application of Co-Sale Right.  In the event that the Preferred Holders have not elected to purchase any or all of the Offered Shares, then the sale of the remaining Offered Shares will become subject to the co-sale right of the Preferred Holder as set forth in Section 3.4 below.

 

3.4                               Co-Sale Right.  To the extent that the Preferred Holders have not exercised their right of first refusal with respect to all of the Offered Shares, then each Preferred Holder that did not exercise its right of first refusal pursuant to Section 3.3 with respect to such Offered Shares (the “Co-Sale Participant”) shall have the right, exercisable upon written notice to the Selling Shareholder, the Company and each other Preferred Holder (the “Co-Sale Notice”) within ten (10) days after receipt of the First Refusal Expiration Notice (the “Co-Sale Right Period”), to participate in such sale of the Offered Shares on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Transfer Notice.  The Co-Sale Notice shall set forth the number of Equity Securities in the Company that such participating Preferred Holder wishes to include in such Transfer, which amount shall not exceed the Co-Sale Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) of such Preferred Holder.  To the extent one or more of the Preferred Holders exercise such right of participation in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below, the number of Restricted Shares that the Selling Shareholder may sell in the transaction shall be correspondingly reduced.  The co-sale right of each Preferred Holder shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

(a)                                 Co-Sale Pro Rata Portion.  Each Co-Sale Participant may sell all or any part of that number of Ordinary Shares (on an as-converted basis) held by it that is equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of the Offered Shares subject to the co-sale right hereunder by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Ordinary Shares (on an as-converted basis) owned by the Co-Sale Participant at the time of the Transfer and the denominator of

 

7


 

which is the total combined number of Ordinary Shares (on an as-converted basis) at the time owned by all Co-Sale Participants and the Selling Shareholder (“Co-Sale Pro Rata Portion”).  To the extent that any Co-Sale Participant does not participate in the sale to the full extent of its Co-Sale Pro Rata Portion, the Selling Shareholder and the Co-Sale Participant shall, within ten (10) days after the end of such Co-Sale Right Period, make such adjustments to the Co-Sale Pro Rata Portion of each Co-Sale Participant so that any remaining Offered Shares may be allocated to other Co-Sale Participant on a pro rata basis.

 

(b)                                 Transferred Shares.  Each Co-Sale Participant shall effect its participation in the sale by promptly delivering a signed instrument of transfer in respect of the following Equity Securities and cause all certificate(s) evidencing such Equity Securities, properly endorsed for transfer, to be surrendered to the Company and the Register of Members shall be updated and share certificates issued to the purchaser:

 

(i)                                     the number of Ordinary Shares which such Co-Sale Participant elects to sell;

 

(ii)                                  that number of Series A Preferred Shares which is at such time convertible into the number of Ordinary Shares that such Co-Sale Participant elects to sell; provided in such case that, if the prospective purchaser objects to the delivery of the Series A Preferred Shares in lieu of Ordinary Shares, such Preferred Holder shall convert such Series A Preferred Shares into Ordinary Shares and deliver Ordinary Shares as provided in Subsection 3.4(b)(i) above. The Company agrees to make any such conversion concurrent with the actual transfer of such shares to the purchaser; or

 

(iii)                               a combination of the above.

 

(c)                                  Payment to Preferred Holders. The Register of Members of the Company shall be updated and share certificates shall be issued to the prospective purchaser in consummation of the sale of the Restricted Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Transfer Notice, and the Selling Shareholder shall concurrently therewith remit to such Co-Sale Participant that portion of the sale proceeds to which such Co-Sale Participant is entitled by reason of its participation in such sale.  To the extent that any prospective purchaser or purchasers prohibit such assignment or otherwise refuse to purchase any shares or other Equity Securities from a Preferred Holder exercising its co-sale right hereunder, the Selling Shareholder shall not sell to such prospective purchaser or purchasers any Restricted Shares unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, the Selling Shareholder shall purchase such shares or other Equity Securities from such Preferred Holder for the same consideration and on the same terms and conditions as described in the Transfer Notice.

 

8


 

(d)                                 Right to Transfer.  To the extent the Preferred Holders do not elect to purchase, or to participate in the sale of, the Restricted Shares subject to the Transfer Notice, the Selling Shareholder may, not later than ninety (90) days following delivery to the Company and each of the Preferred Holders of the Transfer Notice, conclude a Transfer of the Restricted Shares covered by the Transfer Notice and not elected to be purchased by the Preferred Holders, which in each case shall be on substantially the same terms and conditions as those described in the Transfer Notice.  Any proposed Transfer on terms and conditions which are materially different from those described in the Transfer Notice, as well as any subsequent proposed Transfer of any Restricted Shares by the Selling Shareholder, shall again be subject to the right of first refusal and the co-sale right of the Preferred Holders and shall require compliance by the Selling Shareholder with the procedures described in Section 3.3 and Section 3.4 of this Schedule.

 

3.5                               Exempt Transfers.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the right of first refusal and co-sale rights of the Preferred Holders shall not apply to (a) any Transfer of Restricted Shares to the Company pursuant to a repurchase right or right of first refusal held by the Company in the event of a termination of employment or consulting relationship; (b) any transfer to the parents, children, or spouse, vehicle companies or to trusts for the benefit of such persons, of any Ordinary Holder by such Ordinary Holder for bona fide estate or tax planning purposes; or (c) any transfer of Restricted Shares by any Ordinary Holder to his/her/its Holdco, or a parent owning directly 100% of the voting equity securities or equity interest in such Ordinary Holder; provided, that adequate documentation therefor is provided to each Series A Preferred Holder to its satisfaction.

 

3.6                               Prohibited Transfers.

 

(a)                                   Except for Transfers as provided in Section 3.5 above, prior to the Qualified Initial Public Offering, as long as the Series A Preferred Holders hold any Equity Securities in the Company, none of the Ordinary Holders or the permitted transferees shall, without the prior written consent of the Series A Preferred Holders and their permitted transferees, directly or indirectly, Transfer through one or a series of transactions any Equity Securities of the Company now held by him /her/it to any person, which Transfer would result in (i) the aggregate shareholding of the Founders and/or the Holdcos in the Company less than 51% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company (on a fully-diluted and as converted basis), (ii) the corresponding valuation of any such Transfer is lower than the valuation of the Transactions, or (iii) to any person in violation of this Section 3.

 

(b)                                   Except for purposes of the Qualified Initial Public Offering, for the Transactions and the customary operation of the Group Companies, neither the Founders nor the Holdcos shall Transfer the Equity Securities of any Major Subsidiaries, unless otherwise agreed in the Shareholders Agreement.

 

9


 

(c)                                  Any attempt by a party to Transfer any Equity Securities in violation of this Section 3 shall be void and the Company hereby agrees it will not effect such a Transfer nor will it treat any alleged transferee as the holder of such Equity Securities without the prior written consent of the Series A Preferred Holders.

 

(d)                                 Furthermore and according to the foregoing Article (a), each Founder agrees that any Transfer of any Equity Securities in the Holdcos shall be deemed to be an indirect Transfer of Equity Securities of the Company and therefore is subject to all of the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to Transfers set forth in the Shareholders Agreement. The Founders shall not make, cause or permit any Transfer of any Equity Securities in the Holdcos without first complying with all of the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to a Transfer of  Equity Securities of the Company pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement, and any purported Transfer of any Equity Securities in the Holdcos in contravention of these Articles shall be void and ineffective for any and all purposes and shall not confer on any transferee or purported transferee any rights whatsoever, and the Holdcos shall not recognize any such Transfer, sale or issuance.  In addition, each Founder irrevocably agrees to cause and guarantee the performance by the Holdcos of all of its respective covenants and obligations under this Agreement

 

3.7                               Transfers in Compliance with Law.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Shareholders Agreement and the Articles, no Transfer may be made pursuant to this Section 3 unless (i) the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Shareholders Agreement pursuant to a Deed of Adherence in the form attached to the Shareholders Agreement as Exhibit A, (ii) the Transfer complies in all respects with other applicable provisions of the Shareholders Agreement and these Articles, and (iii) the Transfer complies in all respects with applicable Laws.  If requested by the Company in its reasonable discretion, an opinion of counsel to a transferring Shareholder shall be supplied to the Company, at such transferring Shareholder’s expense, to the effect that the Transfer complies with all applicable Laws.

 

3.8                               Legend.

 

(a)                                 Each certificate representing the Restricted Shares shall be endorsed with the following legend:

 

THE SALE, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN A SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE SECRETARY OF THE

COMPANY.

 

(b)                                 Each party agrees that the Company may instruct its transfer agent to impose transfer restrictions on the shares represented by certificates bearing the legend referred to in Section 3.8(a) above to enforce the provisions of the Shareholders Agreement and this Schedule and the Company agrees to promptly do so.  The legend shall be removed upon termination of the provisions of this Section 3.

 

3.9                               Termination.  The provisions under this Section 3 shall terminate upon the Qualified Initial Public Offering.

SCHEDULE B

 

CERTAIN RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF SERIES B PREFERRED SHARES

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Schedule B shall have the meanings given to them in the Series B Preferred Shares Purchase Agreement.

 

1.                                      Dividends

 

1.1.                            The Company shall not be required to pay any dividends to the Series B Preferred Holders in a fiscal year as long as the Company has not paid any dividends to the Ordinary Shares Holders.  If any dividends are paid to the Ordinary Shares Holders and the total amount of all such dividends is less than sixty percent (60%) of the Company’s Audited Net Earnings of the fiscal year during which such dividends are paid, the Series B Preferred Holders shall also receive, a dividend on each outstanding Series B Preferred Share in an amount equal to the product of (A) the dividend payable on each Ordinary Share multiplying (B) the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of a Series B Preferred Share, in each case calculated on the record date for determination of holders entitled to receive such dividend.

 

1.2.                            If any dividends to be paid to the Ordinary Shares Holders that will cause the total amount of dividends paid to the Ordinary Shares Holders in a fiscal year exceeds sixty percent (60%) of the Company’s Audited Net Earnings of such fiscal year, it requires consent from the Series B Preferred Holder in accordance with Section 1.3 of this Schedule B.

 

1.3.                            Before making any dividends as described in Section 1.2 of this Schedule B, the Company shall provide written notice to the Series B Preferred Holders of its intention to pay such dividends, and within seven (7) days after receipt of such written notice, the Series B Preferred Holders shall either (i) respond to the effect it consents to such dividend distributions or (ii) respond to the effect that it does not consent to such dividend distributions and then as a result, the Series B Preferred Holders may exercise its Redemption Option in accordance with Section 6.1 of this Schedule B; if the Series B Preferred Holder does not respond or exercise its Redemption Option within seven (7) days, it shall be deemed to have consented to such dividend distributions and waived its right to redeem shares in connection with Section 1.3 (ii) of this Schedule B.

 

1.4.                            Section 1.1 (except for the first sentence), Section 1.2 and Section 1.3 of this Schedule B shall terminate automatically upon consummation of an IPO, provided that after an IPO, if any dividends are paid to the Ordinary Shares Holders, the Series B Preferred Holders shall also receive a dividend on each outstanding Series B Preferred Share in an amount equal to the product as calculated with the same formula as provided in Section 1.1 of this Schedule B.

 

2.                                      Conversion Price

 

2.1.                            With respect to the conversion of Series B Preferred Shares under the Series B Preferred Shares Purchase Agreement, each share of the Series B Preferred Shares shall be converted into such number of Ordinary Shares of the Company as determined by dividing the Series B Original Purchase Price by the Series B Conversion Price (as defined below and be subject to

 

12


 

adjustment as provided hereunder) in effect at the time of conversion and the Company undertakes that immediately prior to IPO, to the extent that such Ordinary Shares are less than the Conversion Shares, the relevant number of Conversion Shares shall be issued to the Series B Preferred Holder immediately prior to the IPO.

 

The “Series B Conversion Price” shall be equal to a price determined by dividing the Pre-Money Valuation (as defined below) by the total issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares as of the Effective Date.

 

For illustrative purposes only, assuming that the Pre-Money Valuation is US$385,000,000.00 and the total number of issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares (on a fully-diluted basis as if the Series A Preferred Shares have been fully converted but excluding any Ordinary Shares which would be issued pursuant to the conversion of Series B Preferred Shares) is 10,000,000 Ordinary Shares, then the Series B Conversion Price shall be equal to US$38.50. In such case, each Series B Preferred Share shall, on conversion, result in the issue of such number of Ordinary Shares by dividing the Series B Original Purchase Price by the Series B Conversion Price. In other words, US$150,000 divided by US$38.50, equals to 3,896.10 Ordinary Shares.

 

The “Pre-Money Valuation” means the total equity valuation of the Company as of the Effective Date, which is the lower of (i) US$385,000,000.00 and (ii) fifteen (15) times the Company’s Audited Net Earnings of the fiscal year of 2019; provided that:

 

(i)                                     for the purpose of calculating conversion price pursuant to Section 1.1, Section 3.1(ii) and (iii), Section 3.2, Section 3.3 and Section 3.4 of this Schedule B, and for the purpose of calculating the conversion price before the adjustment of the Series B Conversion Price hereunder, if Audited Net Earnings of the fiscal year of 2019 are not available at the time of the calculation, the Series B Conversion Price shall be determined based on the Pre-Money Valuation of US$385,000,000.00, if Audited Net Earnings of the fiscal year of 2019 are available at the time of the calculation, the Series B Conversion Price shall be determined based on the Pre-Money Valuation as determined in accordance with the first sentence of this paragraph;

 

(ii)                                  for the purpose of calculating conversion price pursuant to Section 3.1(i) of this Schedule B, if Audited Net Earnings of the fiscal year of 2019 are not available at the time of the conversion, the Series B Preferred Holder may initially exercise the Conversion Option based on the Pre-Money Valuation of US$385,000,000.00, and when the aforementioned Audited Net Earnings of the fiscal year of 2019 become available after the conversion, and fifteen (15) times Audited Net Earnings of the fiscal year of 2019 is less than US$327,250,000.00, either the Company shall issue or the Founder shall transfer additional Ordinary Shares to the Series B Preferred Holder to the effect as if the Series B Preferred Holder had converted its outstanding Series B Preferred Shares with the Series B Conversion Price calculated based on the Pre-Money Valuation of fifteen (15) times Audited Net Earnings of the fiscal year of 2019.

 

3.                                      Conversion

 

13


 

3.1.                            Any Series B Preferred Shares holder shall have the following options (each such option, the “Conversion Option”) to convert its Series B Preferred Shares before the Mandatory Redemption Date and the exercise of a Redemption Option:

 

(i)                                     at any time prior to an IPO to convert all or part of its outstanding Series B Preferred Shares into such number of Conversion Shares at the Series B Conversion Price then in effect;

 

(ii)                                  at any time upon or after an IPO but prior to the Post-IPO Option Date (as defined below), to convert all or part of its outstanding Series B Preferred Shares into such number of Conversion Shares at the Series B Conversion Price then in effect; or

 

(iii)                               pursuant to Section 3.3 (i) of this Schedule B, no later than five (5) Business Days following the Post-IPO Option Date, to convert all (but not less than all) of its outstanding Series B Preferred Shares into such number of Conversion Shares at the Series B Conversion Price then in effect;

 

provided that if the Company is not the legal entity which will be the listed entity in an IPO, the Series B Preferred Shares shall convert into shares of the proposed listed entity in the IPO, instead of Conversion Shares, on terms no less favourable than the conversion to Conversion Shares as contemplated herein and unless the Conversion Option is into shares in such listed entity on the terms as contemplated, the Company agrees not to proceed with the IPO.

 

3.2.                            If on the last day of the one hundred-eighty (180) day period commencing on the effective date of the registration statement relating to an IPO but prior to the Mandatory Redemption Date (if such day falls on the same day with the Mandatory Redemption Date, it shall be deemed to be prior to the Mandatory Redemption Date) (the “Post-IPO Option Date”), both of the Average Stock Price and Consecutive Stock Price reach one hundred and thirty percent (130%) of the Series B Conversion Price then in effect and the total equity valuation of the Company shall be no less than US Dollar five hundred million (US$500,000,000.00) (on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis), then all of the outstanding Series B Preferred Shares shall automatically be converted into such number of Conversion Shares at the Series B Conversion Price then in effect as calculated pursuant to Section 2.1 of this Schedule B and such shares may not be reissued by the Company.

 

The “Average Stock Price” means the average closing price at which the stock of the Company trades upon the closing of the stock exchange for twenty (20) consecutive trading days prior to the Post-IPO Option Date (including the Post-IPO Option Date).

 

The “Consecutive Stock Price” means each closing price at which the stock of the Company trades upon the closing of the stock exchange for the last five (5) consecutive trading days prior to the Post-IPO Option Date (including the Post-IPO Option Date).

 

3.3.                            If on the Post-IPO Option Date, either the Average Stock Price or the Consecutive Stock Price does not reach one hundred and thirty percent (130%) of the Series B Conversion Price then in effect, or the total equity valuation of the Company is less than US Dollar

 

14


 

five hundred million (US$500,000,000.00) (on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis), then the Series B Preferred Holder shall, no later than five (5) Business Days following the Post-IPO Option Date either (i) request the Company to convert all (but not less than all) of its outstanding Series B Preferred Shares into such number of Conversion Shares at the Series B Conversion Price then in effect or (ii) request the Company to redeem all (but not less than all) of its outstanding Series B Preferred Shares in accordance with Section 7.1.1 of this Schedule B.

 

3.4.                            If the Series B Preferred Holder does not exercise either option under above Section 3.3 of this Schedule B, then all of the outstanding Series B Preferred Shares shall automatically be converted into such number of Conversion Shares at the Series B Conversion Price then in effect as calculated pursuant to Section 2.1 of this Schedule B and such shares may not be reissued by the Company (together with the conversion pursuant to Section 3.2 of this Schedule B, the “Mandatory Conversion”).

 

4.                                      Mechanics of Conversion

 

4.1.                            No fractional Ordinary Share shall be issued upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then effective Series B Conversion Price.

 

4.2.                            Before any Series B Preferred Holder shall be entitled to convert the same into the Conversion Shares and to receive certificates therefor, such Series B Preferred Holder shall, with respect to an Conversion Option pursuant to Section 3.1 (i) and (ii) of this Schedule B provide at least seven (7) Business Days prior written notice, with respect to an Conversion Option pursuant to Section 3.1 (iii) of this Schedule B provide written notice to the Company no later than five (5) Business Days following the Post-IPO Option Date, to the Company or any transfer agent for the Series B Preferred Shares to be converted.

 

4.3.                            With respect to the Conversion Option and the Mandatory Conversion, before any Series B Preferred Holder shall be entitled to the Conversion Shares and to receive certificates therefor, if such holder’s shares are certificated, surrender the certificate or certificates therefor (or, if such registered holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Company to indemnify the Company against any claim that may be made against the Company on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate), at the principal office of the Company or of any transfer agent for the Series B Preferred Shares to be converted.  Such notice shall state such holder’s name or the names of the nominees in which such holder wishes the Conversion Shares to be issued.  If required by the Company, any certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company, duly executed by the registered holder or his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing.  The Company shall update the register of members and issue and deliver at such office to such Series B Preferred Holder a certificate or certificates for the number of the Conversion Shares to which such Series B Preferred Holder shall be entitled as aforesaid and a check payable to such Series B Preferred Holder in the amount of any cash amounts payable (if any) as the result of a conversion into fractional Conversion Shares.  Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date

 

15


 

of such surrender of the certificate or certificates representing the Series B Preferred Shares to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the Conversion Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Conversion Shares on such date.

 

5.                                      Mandatory Redemption

 

5.1.                            Unless prohibited or restricted by the Statute governing distributions to members, if until the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Mandatory Redemption Date”) any of the Series B Preferred Shares remain outstanding, the Company shall within seven (7) Business Days of Mandatory Redemption Date, redeem all of the Series B Preferred Holder’s outstanding Series B Preferred Shares, at an aggregate redemption price (the “Mandatory Redemption Price”) that provides the Series B Preferred Holder with the Internal Rate of Return on the original purchase price for the outstanding Series B Preferred Shares to be redeemed under this Section 5.1 for the period during which such outstanding Series B Preferred Shares remain outstanding (for the avoidance of any doubt, any dividend paid will be included in the calculation of the redemption price) (the “Mandatory Redemption”).

 

6.                                      Redemption Option

 

6.1.                            Redemption Option of the Series B Preferred Holder

 

6.1.1.                  Subject to the Statute governing distributions to members, the Series B Preferred Holder, may at its option (“Redemption Option”), if pursuant to Section 7.4 of the Series B Preferred Shares Purchase Agreement, Sections 1.3 (ii) and/or 3.5 of this Schedule B, or Section 3 of the Guarantee Deed, within seven (7) days after receipt of Company’s notice of relevant events, if pursuant to Section 3.3 (ii) of this Schedule B no later than five (5) Business Days following the Post-IPO Option Date, deliver a written notice (“Redemption Request”) requesting the Company to redeem all (but not less than all) of its outstanding Series B Preferred Shares, at an aggregate redemption price (the “Optional Redemption Price”) that provides the Series B Preferred Holder with the Internal Rate of Return on the original purchase price for the outstanding Series B Preferred Shares to be redeemed under this Section 6.1 for the period during which such outstanding Series B Preferred Shares remain outstanding (for the avoidance of any doubt, any dividend paid will be included in the calculation of the redemption price).  Upon receipt of a Redemption Request, the Company shall, subject to the Statute governing distributions to members, within seven (7) Business Days after receipt of such Redemption Request redeem all of its outstanding Series B Preferred Shares and make payment therefor.  The Series B Preferred Holder’s right to so exercise the Redemption Option shall not terminate in the event of fraud or material mis-representation on the part of the Company and/or the Founder in connection with the Redemption Option.

 

6.1.2.                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of the redemption pursuant to Section 6.1 of this Schedule B, if upon receipt of the Redemption Request, the Statute governing distributions to members or any applicable laws prevent the Company from redeeming all of the Series B Preferred Shares within seven (7) Business Days after receipt of such Redemption Request, then the Company may at its sole discretion ratably redeem the maximum number of shares that it

 

16


 

may redeem, to the extent consistent with the Statute, applicable laws, and shall redeem the remaining shares as soon as it may lawfully or commercially do so. Notwithstanding, to the extent that the Company is not able to lawfully redeem all or part of the Series B Preferred Shares, default interest shall accrue, without duplication, at ten percent (10)% per annum compounded monthly on all outstanding amounts due from the date of such payment originally becoming due and payable under the Redemption Request until payment in full.

 

6.2.                            Redemption Option of the Company

 

6.2.1.                  Unless prohibited or restricted by the Statute governing distributions to members, any time prior to the Mandatory Redemption Date, the Company, may at its absolute sole discretion, opt to redeem up to fifty (50%) of the outstanding Series B Preferred Shares, at a redemption price that provides the higher of (i) a net cash return of US Dollar two million (US$2,000,000), or (ii) an aggregate redemption price provides the Series B Preferred Holder with the Internal Rate of Return on the original purchase price for the outstanding Series B Preferred Shares to be redeemed by the Company under this Section 6.2 for the period during which such outstanding Series B Preferred Shares remain outstanding (for the avoidance of any doubt, any dividend paid will be included in the calculation of the redemption price); provided that, the foregoing redemption price is on the condition that the proceeds the Company will receive from this Transaction will be funded eventually into a bank account opened or maintained in the United States by the Company, any of its affiliates or their authorized representatives, officers, employees, directors or service providers.

 

7.                                      Information Rights

 

7.1.                            Commencing on Closing Date, for so long as any Series B Preferred Shares issued under the Series B Preferred Shares Purchase Agreement are outstanding, the Company will deliver to each holder of the Series B Preferred Shares:

8.4.                            In the event that the Company and/or Ordinary Shares Holders shall not have collectively elected to purchase all of the Series B Offered Shares upon the expiration of the Second

 

18


 

ROFR Period, then, provided the Series B Transferor has also complied with the provisions of Section 8.1 of this Schedule B, to the extent applicable, the Series B Transferor may Transfer all or any remaining Series B Offered Shares not elected to be purchased by the Company and/or Ordinary Shares Holders, at a price per share for each Series B Offered Share not less than that specified in the Series B Transfer Notice and on other terms and conditions which are not materially more favorable in the aggregate to the prospective transferee than those specified in the Series B Transfer Notice, but only to the extent that such Transfer occurs within thirty (30) days after expiration of the Second ROFR Period.  Any Series B Offered Shares not Transferred within such 30-day period will be subject to the provisions of Section 8 this Schedule B upon subsequent Transfer.

 

8.5.                            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any restrictions on the right to transfer all or any of the Series B Preferred Shares shall not apply in the case of a transfer of Series B Preferred Shares to the Investor, its affiliates and/or Related Funds; provided, that adequate documentation therefor is provided to the Company.

3.1.                Within the period from the date of transfer of the Transferred Shares to the Shareholding Platform to the expiration date of 5 years after the Listing Entity is listed, Party C shall undertake to maintain his service with Yongxiong Group or its affiliates (for the avoidance of doubt, the circumstances of dimission include but are not limited to involuntary turnovers such as being fired or being persuaded to quit due to the violation of Yongxiong Group’s system and discipline, or any initiative to terminate the labor contract with Yongxiong Group or its affiliates for whatever reason), and shall not commit any material dereliction of duty (at the sole discretion of the Shareholding Platform).

4.1.                The Transferor shall have the right to require the Shareholding Platform to transfer all or part of the Party C Incentive Shares which it still holds at that time to the Transferor or a third party designated by it at the Original Purchase Price and pay the proceeds of such repurchase to Party C. At the same time, Party C shall, within sixty (60) days from the date of the occurrence of the Event of Default, return to the Transferor or a third party designated by it all or part of the benefits (to be decided at the sole discretion of the Transferor) (“Resulting Benefits”) obtained during the period in which Party C has interests in Party C Incentive Shares, including but not limited to the Proceeds from Underweight and dividends. The relevant transfer fees and taxes shall be borne by Party C.

For the avoidance of doubt, Party C confirms that the Shareholding Platform does not have to pay any consideration to Party C for the Party C Incentive Shares surrendered by Party C.

 

4.3.                The Administrator and the Shareholding Platform shall use all reasonable efforts to facilitate the completion of the equity transfer under Article 4.1 above, including but not limited to procuring the execution of the equity transfer agreement between the Shareholding Platform and the Transferor or a third party designated by it and update the Register of Members of the Listing Entity and the Share Certificate correspondingly.

 

4


 

4.4.                If Party C fails to perform its obligations under Article 4.2 above or refuses to return the Resulting Benefits as required by the Transferor, the Transferor shall have the right to hold Party C liable for breach of contract; furthermore, the Transferor may require Party C to pay additional liquidated damages calculated on the basis of the sum of the Resulting Benefits plus the transfer price as specified in the Article 4.1 above, at the rate of 0.05%/day from the date of occurrence of such Event of Default until the relevant changes are completed and the Resulting Benefits are returned to the Transferor.

 

4.5.                As applicable, the Transferor shall have the right, within sixty (60) days from the date of occurrence of the Event of Default, to decide at its sole discretion whether or not to waive the Event of Default of Party C, without executing the repurchase under Article 4.1 above and the Share Surrender under Article 4.2 above.

 

5.                  Miscellaneous

 

5.1.                Party C hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to all the arrangements of rights and obligations between the Transferor and the Shareholding Platform under this Agreement.

 

5.2.                The conclusion, entry into force, performance, modification, interpretation and termination of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the British Virgin Islands.

5.4.                Without the written authorization of the Administrator, Party C shall not transfer, dispose of or create any form of pledge, mortgage or other security interests over the Party C Incentive Shares and all proceeds therefrom.

Exhibit 10.4

 

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

 

THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of               by and between YX Asset Recovery Limited, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated and existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), and                  ([Passport/ID] Number                      ) (the “Indemnitee”).

 

WHEREAS, the Indemnitee has agreed to serve as a director or executive officer of the Company and in such capacity will render valuable services to the Company; and

 

WHEREAS, in order to induce and encourage highly experienced and capable persons such as the Indemnitee to render valuable services to the Company, the board of directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”) has determined that this Agreement is not only reasonable and prudent, but necessary to promote and ensure the best interests of the Company and its shareholders;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual agreements hereinafter set forth, and other good and valuable consideration, including, without limitation, the service of the Indemnitee, the receipt of which hereby is acknowledged, and in order to induce the Indemnitee to render valuable services the Company, the Company and the Indemnitee hereby agree as follows:

 

1.                                      Definitions.  As used in this Agreement:

 

(a)                                 Change in Control” shall mean a change in control of the Company of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A (or in response to any similar item on any similar or successor schedule or form) promulgated under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Act”), whether or not the Company is then subject to such reporting requirement; provided, however, that, without limitation, such a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred (irrespective of the applicability of the initial clause of this definition) if (i) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Act, but excluding any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities pursuant to an employee benefit or welfare plan or employee share plan of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, or any entity organized, appointed, established or holding securities of the Company with voting power for or pursuant to the terms of any such plan) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 30% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities without the prior approval of at least two-thirds of the Continuing Directors (as defined below) in office immediately prior to such person’s attaining such interest; (ii) the Company is a party to a merger, consolidation, scheme of arrangement, sale of assets or other reorganization, or a proxy contest, as a consequence of which Continuing Directors in office immediately prior to such transaction or event constitute less than a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company (or any successor entity) thereafter; or (iii) during any period of two (2) consecutive years, Continuing Directors cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company.

 

(b)                                 Continuing Director” shall mean an individual (i) who served on the Board of Directors of the Company at the effective date of the Company’s registration statement on Form F-1 relating to the Company’s initial public offering; or (ii) whose election or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the Continuing Directors then in office.

 

(c)                                  Disinterested Director” with respect to any request by the Indemnitee for indemnification or advancement of expenses hereunder shall mean a director of the Company who neither is nor was a party to the Proceeding (as defined below) in respect of which indemnification or advancement is being sought by the Indemnitee.

 


 

(d)                                 The term “Expenses” shall mean, without limitation, expenses of Proceedings, including attorneys’ fees, disbursements and retainers, accounting and witness fees, expenses related to preparation for service as a witness and to service as a witness, travel and deposition costs, expenses of investigations, judicial or administrative proceedings and appeals, amounts paid in settlement of a Proceeding by or on behalf of the Indemnitee, costs of attachment or similar bonds, any expenses of attempting to establish or establishing a right to indemnification or advancement of expenses, under this Agreement, the Company’s Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association as currently in effect (the “Articles”), applicable law or otherwise, and reasonable compensation for time spent by the Indemnitee in connection with the investigation, defense or appeal of a Proceeding or action for indemnification for which the Indemnitee is not otherwise compensated by the Company or any third party.  The term “Expenses” shall not include the amount of judgments, fines, interest or penalties, which are actually levied against or sustained by the Indemnitee to the extent sustained after final adjudication.

 

(e)                                  The term “Independent Legal Counsel” shall mean any firm of attorneys reasonably selected by the Board of Directors of the Company, so long as such firm has not represented the Company, the Company’s subsidiaries or affiliates, the Indemnitee, any entity controlled by the Indemnitee, or any party adverse to the Company, within the preceding five (5) years.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent Legal Counsel” shall not include any person who, under applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or the Indemnitee in an action to determine the Indemnitee’s right to indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Agreement, the Company’s Articles, applicable law or otherwise.

 

(f)                                   The term “Proceeding” shall mean any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, or other proceeding (including, without limitation, an appeal therefrom), formal or informal, whether brought in the name of the Company or otherwise, whether of a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative nature, and whether by, in or involving a court or an administrative, other governmental or private entity or body (including, without limitation, an investigation by the Company or its Board of Directors), by reason of (i) the fact that the Indemnitee is or was a director or officer of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as an agent of another enterprise, whether or not the Indemnitee is serving in such capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which indemnification or reimbursement is to be provided under this Agreement, (ii) any actual or alleged act or omission or neglect or breach of duty, including, without limitation, any actual or alleged error or misstatement or misleading statement, which the Indemnitee commits or suffers while acting in any such capacity, or (iii) the Indemnitee attempting to establish or establishing a right to indemnification or advancement of expenses pursuant to this Agreement, the Company’s Articles, applicable law or otherwise.

 

(g)                                  The phrase “serving at the request of the Company as an agent of another enterprise” or any similar terminology shall mean, unless the context otherwise requires, serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust, employee benefit or welfare plan or other enterprise, foreign or domestic.  The phrase “serving at the request of the Company” shall include, without limitation, any service as a director/an executive officer of the Company which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director/executive officer with respect to the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries, affiliates, employee benefit or welfare plans, such plan’s participants or beneficiaries or any other enterprise, foreign or domestic.  In the event that the Indemnitee shall be a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust, employee benefit or welfare plan or other enterprise, foreign or domestic, 50% or more of the ordinary shares, combined voting power or total equity interest of which is owned by the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof, then it shall be presumed conclusively that the Indemnitee is so acting at the request of the Company.

 

2.                                      Services by the Indemnitee.  The Indemnitee agrees to serve as a director or officer of the Company under the terms of the Indemnitee’s agreement with the Company for so long as the Indemnitee is duly elected or appointed or until such time as the Indemnitee tenders a resignation in writing or is removed from the Indemnitee’s position; provided, however, that the Indemnitee may at any time and for any reason resign from such position (subject to any other contractual obligation or other obligation imposed by operation of law).

 

2


 

3.                                      Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company.  The Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee if the Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was a director or officer of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as an agent of another enterprise, against all Expenses, judgments, fines, interest or penalties, which are actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense or settlement of such a Proceeding, if the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company; except that no indemnification under this section shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudicated by final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to be liable to the Company for willful misconduct in the performance of his/her duty to the Company, unless and only to the extent that the court in which such Proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such amounts which such other court shall deem proper.

 

4.                                      Proceeding Other Than a Proceeding by or in the Right of the Company.  The Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee if the Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any Proceeding (other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was a director or officer of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as an agent of another enterprise, against all Expenses, judgments, fines, interest or penalties, which are actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such a Proceeding, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law; provided, however, that any settlement of a Proceeding must be approved in advance in writing by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld).

 

5.                                      Indemnification for Costs, Charges and Expenses of Witness or Successful Party.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (except as set forth in subparagraph 9(a) hereof), and without a requirement for determination as required by Paragraph 8 hereof, to the extent that the Indemnitee (a) has prepared to serve or has served as a witness in any Proceeding in any way relating to (i) the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries, affiliates, employee benefit or welfare plans or such plan’s participants or beneficiaries or (ii) anything done or not done by the Indemnitee as a director or officer of the Company or in connection with serving at the request of the Company as an agent of another enterprise, or (b) has been successful in defense of any Proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, on the merits or otherwise, including the dismissal of a Proceeding without prejudice or the settlement of a Proceeding without an admission of liability, the Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection therewith to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

 

6.                                      Partial Indemnification.  If the Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for a portion of the Expenses, judgments, fines, interest or penalties, which are actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in the investigation, defense, appeal or settlement of any Proceeding, but not, however, for the total amount of the Indemnitee’s Expenses, judgments, fines, interest or penalties, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify the Indemnitee for the portion of such Expenses, judgments, fines, interest or penalties to which the Indemnitee is entitled.

 

7.                                      Advancement of Expenses.  The Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in any Proceeding shall be paid promptly by the Company in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding at the written request of the Indemnitee, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law; provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall set forth in such request reasonable evidence that such Expenses have been incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding, a statement that such Expenses do not relate to any matter described in subparagraph 9(a) of this Agreement, and an undertaking in writing to repay any advances if it is ultimately determined as provided in subparagraph 8(b) of this Agreement that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement.

 

8.                                      Indemnification Procedure; Determination of Right to Indemnification.

 

(a)                                 Promptly after receipt by the Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding, the Indemnitee shall, if a claim for indemnification or advancement of Expenses in respect thereof is to be made against the Company under this Agreement, notify the Company of the commencement thereof in writing.  The failure and delay to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company from any liability which the Company may have to the Indemnitee under this Agreement unless the Company shall have lost significant substantive or procedural rights with respect to the defense of any Proceeding as a result of such omission to so notify.

 

3


 

(b)                                 The Indemnitee shall be conclusively presumed to have met the relevant standards of conduct, if any, as defined by applicable law, for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement and shall be absolutely entitled to such indemnification, unless a determination is made that the Indemnitee has not met such standards by (i) the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum thereof consisting of Disinterested Directors, (ii) the shareholders of the Company by majority vote of a quorum thereof consisting of shareholders who are not parties to the Proceeding due to which a claim for indemnification is made under this Agreement, (iii) Independent Legal Counsel as set forth in a written opinion (it being understood that such Independent Legal Counsel shall make such determination only if the quorum of Disinterested Directors referred to in clause (i) of this subparagraph 8(b) is not obtainable or if the Board of Directors of the Company by a majority vote of a quorum thereof consisting of Disinterested Directors so directs), or (iv) a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, however, that if a Change in Control shall have occurred and the Indemnitee so requests in writing, such determination shall be made only by a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

(c)                                  If a claim for indemnification or advancement of Expenses under this Agreement is not paid by the Company within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of written notice thereof, the rights provided by this Agreement shall be enforceable by the Indemnitee in any court of competent jurisdiction.  Such judicial proceeding shall be made de novo.  The burden of proving that indemnification or advances are not appropriate shall be on the Company.  Neither the failure of the directors or shareholders of the Company or Independent Legal Counsel to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification or advancement of Expenses is proper in the circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, if any, nor an actual determination by the directors or shareholders of the Company or Independent Legal Counsel that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct shall be a defense to an action by the Indemnitee or create a presumption for the purpose of such an action that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct.  The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself (i) create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company and/or its shareholders, and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful or (ii) otherwise adversely affect the rights of the Indemnitee to indemnification or advancement of Expenses under this Agreement, except as may be provided herein.

 

(d)                                 If a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that the Indemnitee is entitled to any indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder, the Company shall pay all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such adjudication (including, but not limited to, any appellate proceedings).

 

(e)                                  With respect to any Proceeding for which indemnification or advancement of Expenses is requested, the Company will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense and, except as otherwise provided below, to the extent that it may wish, the Company may assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee.  After notice from the Company to the Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of a Proceeding, the Company will not be liable to the Indemnitee under this Agreement for any Expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof, other than as provided below.  The Company shall not settle any Proceeding in any manner which would impose any penalty or limitation on the Indemnitee without the Indemnitee’s written consent.  The Indemnitee shall have the right to employ his/her own counsel in any Proceeding, but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Company of its assumption of the defense of the Proceeding shall be at the expense of the Indemnitee, unless (i) the employment of counsel by the Indemnitee has been authorized by the Company, (ii) the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and the Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of a Proceeding, or (iii) the Company shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of a proceeding, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of the Indemnitee’s counsel shall be advanced by the Company.  The Company shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Company or as to which the Indemnitee has reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and the Indemnitee.

 

9.                                      Limitations on Indemnification.  No payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be made by the Company:

 

(a)                                 To indemnify or advance funds to the Indemnitee for Expenses with respect to (i) Proceedings initiated or brought voluntarily by the Indemnitee and not by way of defense, except with respect to Proceedings brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification under this Agreement or any other statute or law or otherwise as required under applicable law or (ii) Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with preparing to serve or serving as a witness in cooperation with any party or entity who or which has threatened or commenced any action or proceeding against the Company, or any director, officer, employee, trustee, agent, representative, subsidiary, parent corporation or affiliate of the Company, but such indemnification or advancement of Expenses in each such case may be provided by the Company if the Board of Directors finds it to be appropriate;

 

4


 

(b)                                 To indemnify the Indemnitee for any Expenses, judgments, fines, interest or penalties sustained in any Proceeding for which payment is actually made to the Indemnitee under a valid and collectible insurance policy, except in respect of any excess beyond the amount of payment under such insurance;

 

(c)                                  To indemnify the Indemnitee for any Expenses, judgments, fines, interest or penalties sustained in any Proceeding for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by the Indemnitee of securities of the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Act or similar provisions of any foreign or United States federal, state or local statute or regulation;

 

(d)                                 To indemnify the Indemnitee for any Expenses, judgments, fines, interest or penalties for which the Indemnitee is indemnified by the Company otherwise than pursuant to this Agreement;

 

(e)                                  To indemnify the Indemnitee for any Expenses (including without limitation any Expenses relating to a Proceeding attempting to enforce this Agreement), judgments, fines, interest or penalties on account of the Indemnitee’s conduct if such conduct shall be finally adjudged to have been knowingly fraudulent or deliberately dishonest or to have constituted willful misconduct, including, without limitation, breach of the duty of loyalty;

 

(f)                                   If a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines that any indemnification hereunder is unlawful. In this respect, the Company and the Indemnitee have been advised that the Securities and Exchange Commission takes the position that indemnification for liabilities arising under securities laws is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable;

 

(g)                                  To indemnify the Indemnitee in connection with Indemnitee’s personal tax matter; or

 

(h)                                 To indemnify the Indemnitee with respect to any claim related to any dispute or breach arising under any contract or similar obligation between the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates and such Indemnitee.

 

10.                               Continuation of Indemnification.  All agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall continue during the period that the Indemnitee is a director or officer of the Company (or is or was serving at the request of the Company as an agent of another enterprise, foreign or domestic) and shall continue thereafter so long as the Indemnitee shall be subject to any possible Proceeding by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee was a director or officer of the Company or serving in any other capacity referred to in this Paragraph 10.

 

11.                               Indemnification Hereunder Not Exclusive.  The indemnification provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to which the Indemnitee may be entitled under the Company’s Articles, any agreement, vote of shareholders or vote of Disinterested Directors, provisions of applicable law, or otherwise, both as to action or omission in the Indemnitee’s official capacity and as to action or omission in another capacity on behalf of the Company while holding such office.

 

12.                               Successors and Assigns.

 

(a)                                 This Agreement shall be binding upon the Indemnitee, and shall inure to the benefit of, the Indemnitee and the Indemnitee’s heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, whether or not the Indemnitee has ceased to be a director or officer, and the Company and its successors and assigns.  Upon the sale of all or substantially all of the business, assets or share capital of the Company to, or upon the merger of the Company into or with, any corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other person, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon both the Indemnitee and such purchaser or successor person.  Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement may not be assigned by either party without the prior written consent of the other party hereto.

 

5


 

(b)                                 If the Indemnitee is deceased and is entitled to indemnification under any provision of this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee’s estate and the Indemnitee’s spouse, heirs, executors, administrators and assigns against, and the Company shall, and does hereby agree to assume, any and all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by or for the Indemnitee or the Indemnitee’s estate, in connection with the investigation, defense, appeal or settlement of any Proceeding.  Further, when requested in writing by the spouse of the Indemnitee, and/or the Indemnitee’s heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, the Company shall provide appropriate evidence of the Company’s agreement set out herein to indemnify the Indemnitee against and to itself assume such Expenses.

 

13.                               Subrogation.  In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Indemnitee, who shall execute all documents required and shall do all acts that may be necessary to secure such rights and to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.

 

14.                               Severability.  Each and every paragraph, sentence, term and provision of this Agreement is separate and distinct so that if any paragraph, sentence, term or provision thereof shall be held to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable for any reason, such invalidity, unlawfulness or unenforceability shall not affect the validity, unlawfulness or enforceability of any other paragraph, sentence, term or provision hereof.  To the extent required, any paragraph, sentence, term or provision of this Agreement may be modified by a court of competent jurisdiction to preserve its validity and to provide the Indemnitee with the broadest possible indemnification permitted under applicable law.  The Company’s inability, pursuant to a court order or decision, to perform its obligations under this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement.

 

15.                               Savings Clause.  If this Agreement or any paragraph, sentence, term or provision hereof is invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify the Indemnitee as to any Expenses, judgments, fines, interest or penalties, which are incurred with respect to any Proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by any (a) applicable paragraph, sentence, term or provision of this Agreement that has not been invalidated or (b) applicable law.

 

16.                               Interpretation; Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be construed as a whole and in accordance with its fair meaning and any ambiguities shall not be construed for or against either party.  Headings are for convenience only and shall not be used in construing meaning.  This Agreement shall be governed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

 

17.                               Amendments.  No amendment, waiver, modification, termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.  The indemnification rights afforded to the Indemnitee hereby are contract rights and may not be diminished, eliminated or otherwise affected by amendments to the Company’s Articles, or by other agreements, including directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies, of the Company.

 

18.                               Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other.

 

19.                               Notices.  Any notice required to be given under this Agreement shall be directed to the Chief Financial Officer of the Company at Xincheng Science and Technology Park Building, West Yuelu Road No. 588, Changsha 410205, Hunan Province, People’s Republic of China, and to the Indemnitee at the same address or to such other address as either shall designate to the other in writing.

8.                                      CONFIDENTIALITY AND NONDISCLOSURE

 

(a)                                 Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure.

 

(1)                                 The Executive acknowledges and agrees that: (A) the Executive holds a position of trust and confidence with the Company and that his/her employment by the Company will require that the Executive have access to and knowledge of valuable and sensitive information, material, and devices relating to the Company and/or its business, activities, products, services, customers and vendors, including, but not limited to, the following, regardless of the form in which the same is accessed, maintained or stored: the identity of the Company’s actual and prospective customers and, as applicable, their representatives; prior, current or future research or development activities of the Company; the products and services provided or offered by the Company to customers or potential customers and the manner in which such services are performed or to be performed; the product and/or service needs of actual or prospective customers; pricing and cost information; information concerning the development, engineering, design, specifications, acquisition or disposition of products and/or services of the Company; user base personal data, programs, software and source codes, licensing information, personnel information, advertising client information, vendor information, marketing plans and techniques, forecasts, and other trade secrets (“Confidential Information”); and (B) the direct and indirect disclosure of any such Confidential Information would place the Company at a competitive disadvantage and would do damage, monetary or otherwise, to the Company’s business.

(2)                                 During the Term and at all times thereafter, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, whether individually, as a director, stockholder, owner, partner, employee, consultant, principal or agent of any business, or in any other capacity, publish or make known, disclose, furnish, reproduce, make available, or utilize any of the Confidential Information without the prior express written approval of the Company, other than in the proper performance of the duties contemplated herein, unless and until such Confidential Information is or shall become general public knowledge through no fault of the Executive.

 

(3)                                 In the event that the Executive is required by law to disclose any Confidential Information, the Executive agrees to give the Company prompt advance written notice thereof and to provide the Company with reasonable assistance in obtaining an order to protect the Confidential Information from public disclosure.

 

(4)                                 The failure to mark any Confidential Information as confidential shall not affect its status as Confidential Information under this Agreement.

 

(b)                                 Third Party Information in the Executive’s Possession.  The Executive agrees that he/she shall not, during the Term, (i) improperly use or disclose any proprietary information or trade secrets of any former employer or other person or entity with which the Executive has an agreement or duty to keep in confidence information acquired by Executive, if any, or (ii) bring into the premises of Company any document or confidential or proprietary information belonging to such former employer, person or entity unless consented to in writing by such former employer, person or entity.  The Executive will indemnify the Company and hold it harmless from and against all claims, liabilities, damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of litigation, arising out of or in connection with any violation of the foregoing.

 

(c)                                  Third Party Information in the Company’s Possession.  The Executive recognizes that the Company may have received, and in the future may receive, from third parties their confidential or proprietary information subject to a duty on the Company’s part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes.  The Executive agrees that the Executive owes the Company and such third parties, during the Term and thereafter, a duty to hold all such confidential or proprietary information in strict confidence and not to disclose such information to any person or firm, or otherwise use such information, in a manner inconsistent with the limited purposes permitted by the Company’s agreement with such third party.

 

This Section 8 shall survive the termination of the Agreement for any reason.  In the event the Executive breaches this Section 8, the Company shall have right to seek remedies permissible under applicable law.

 

9.                                      INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

 

(a)                                 Prior Inventions.  The Executive has attached hereto, as Schedule B, a list describing all inventions, ideas, improvements, designs and discoveries, whether or not patentable and whether or not reduced to practice, original works of authorship and trade secrets made or conceived by or belonging to the Executive (whether made solely by the Executive or jointly with others) that (i) were developed by Executive prior to the Executive’s employment by the Company (collectively, “Prior Inventions”), (ii) relate to the Company’ actual or proposed business, products or research and development, and (iii) are not assigned to the Company hereunder; or, if no such list is attached, the Executive represents that there are no such Prior Inventions.  Except to the extent set forth in Schedule B, the Executive hereby acknowledges that, if in the course of his/her service for the Company, the Executive incorporates into a Company product, process or machine a Prior Invention owned by the Executive or in which he/she has an interest, the Company is hereby granted and shall have a nonexclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide right and license (which may be freely transferred by the Company to any other person or entity) to make, have made, modify, use, sell, sublicense and otherwise distribute such Prior Invention as part of or in connection with such product, process or machine.

(b)                                 Assignment of Intellectual Property.  The Executive hereby assigns to the Company or its designees, without further consideration and free and clear of any lien or encumbrance, the Executive’s entire right, title and interest (within the United States and all foreign jurisdictions) to any and all inventions, discoveries, improvements, developments, works of authorship, concepts, ideas, plans, specifications, software, formulas, databases, designees, processes and contributions to Confidential Information created, conceived, developed or reduced to practice by the Executive (alone or with others) during the Term which (i) are related to the Company’s current or anticipated business, activities, products, or services, (ii) result from any work performed by Executive for the Company, or (iii) are created, conceived, developed or reduced to practice with the use of Company property, including any and all Intellectual Property Rights (as defined below) therein (“Work Product”).  Any Work Product which falls within the definition of “work made for hire”, as such term is defined in the U.S. Copyright Act, shall be considered a “work made for hire”, the copyright in which vests initially and exclusively in the Company.  The Executive waives any rights to be attributed as the author of any Work Product and any “droit morale” (moral rights) in Work Product.  The Executive agrees to immediately disclose to the Company all Work Product.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Intellectual Property” shall mean any patent, copyright, trademark or service mark, trade secret, or any other proprietary rights protection legally available.

This Section 9 shall survive the termination of the Agreement for any reason.  In the event the Executive breaches this Section 9, the Company shall have right to seek remedies permissible under applicable law.

 

10.          CONFLICTING EMPLOYMENT.

 

The Executive hereby agrees that, during the Term, he/she will not engage in any other employment, occupation, consulting or other business activity related to the business in which the Company is now involved or becomes involved during the Term, nor will the Executive engage in any other activities that conflict with his/her obligations to the Company without the prior written consent of the Company.

 

11.          NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION

 

(a)                                 Non-Competition.  In consideration of the compensation provided to the Executive by the Company hereunder, the adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, the Executive agree that during the Term and for a period of one year following the termination of the Employment for whatever reason, the Executive shall not engage in Competition (as defined below) with the Group.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Competition” by the Executive shall mean the Executive’s engaging in, or otherwise directly or indirectly being employed by or acting as a consultant or lender to, or being a director, officer, employee, principal, agent, stockholder, member, owner or partner of, or permitting the Executive’s name to be used in connection with the activities of, any other business or organization which competes, directly or indirectly, with the Group in the Business; provided, however, it shall not be a violation of this Section 11(a) for the Executive to become the registered or beneficial owner of up to five percent (5%) of any class of the capital stock of a publicly traded corporation in Competition with the Group, provided that the Executive does not otherwise participate in the business of such corporation.

 

6


 

For purposes of this Agreement, “Business” means internet entertainment services, and any other business which the Group engages in, or is preparing to become engaged in, during the Term.

 

(b)                                 Non-Solicitation; Non-Interference.  During the Term and for a period of one year following the termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason, the Executive agrees that he/she will not, directly or indirectly, for the Executive’s benefit or for the benefit of any other person or entity, do any of the following:

 

(1)                                 approach the suppliers, clients, direct or end customers or contacts or other persons or entities introduced to the Executive in his/her capacity as a representative of the Group for the purpose of doing business of the same or of a similar nature to the Business or doing business that will harm the business relationships of the Group with the foregoing persons or entities;

 

(2)                                 assume employment with or provide services to any competitors of the Group, or engage, whether as principal, partner, licensor or otherwise, any of the Group’s competitors, without the Group’s express consent; or

 

(3)                                 seek, directly or indirectly, to solicit the services of, or hire or engage, any person who is known to be employed or engaged by the Group; or

 

(4)                                 otherwise interfere with the business or accounts of the Group.

 

(c)                                  Injunctive Relief; Indemnity of Company.  The Executive agrees that any breach or threatened breach of subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 11 would result in irreparable injury and damage to the Company for which an award of money to the Company would not be an adequate remedy.  The Executive therefore also agrees that in the event of said breach or any reasonable threat of breach, the Company shall be entitled to seek an immediate injunction and restraining order to prevent such breach and/or threatened breach and/or continued breach by the Executive and/or any and all persons and/or entities acting for and/or with the Executive.  The terms of this paragraph shall not prevent the Company from pursuing any other available remedies for any breach or threatened breach hereof, including, but not limited to, remedies available under this Agreement and the recovery of damages.  The Executive and the Company further agree that the provisions of this Section 11 are reasonable.  The Executive agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company from and against all reasonable expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) which may be incurred by the Company in connection with, or arising out of, any violation of this Agreement by the Executive.  This Section 11 shall survive the termination of the Agreement for any reason.

 

12.          WITHHOLDING TAXES

 

Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, the Company may withhold (or cause there to be withheld, as the case may be) from any amounts otherwise due or payable under or pursuant to the Agreement such national, state, provincial, local or any other income, employment, or other taxes as may be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

 

13.          ASSIGNMENT

 

The Agreement is personal in its nature and neither of the parties hereto shall, without the consent of the other, assign or transfer the Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder; provided, however, that the Company may assign or transfer the Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder to any member of the Group without such consent.  If the Executive should die while any amounts would still be payable to the Executive hereunder if the Executive had continued to live, all such amounts unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the Executive’s devisee, legatee, or other designee or, if there be no such designee, to the Executive’s estate.  The Company will require any and all successors (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.  Failure of the Company to obtain such assumption and agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the Executive to compensation from the Company in the same amount and on the same terms as the Executive would be entitled to hereunder if the Company had terminated the Executive’s employment other than for Cause, except that for purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed the Date of Termination.  As used in this Section, “Company” shall mean the Company as herein before defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which executes and delivers the agreement provided for in this Section 13 or which otherwise becomes bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement by operation of law.

14.          SEVERABILITY

 

If any provision of the Agreement or the application thereof is held invalid, the invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of the Agreement which can be given effect without the invalid provisions or applications and to this end the provisions of the Agreement are declared to be severable.

 

15.          ENTIRE AGREEMENT

 

The Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the Executive and the Company regarding the terms of the Employment and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written agreements concerning such subject matter.  The Executive acknowledges that he/she has not entered into the Agreement in reliance upon any representation, warranty or undertaking which is not set forth in the Agreement.

 

16.          GOVERNING LAW

 

The Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York.

 

17.          AMENDMENT

 

The Agreement may not be amended, modified or changed (in whole or in part), except by a formal, definitive written agreement expressly referring to the Agreement, which agreement is executed by both of the parties hereto.

 

18.          WAIVER

 

Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of a party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under the Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of the same or of any right, remedy, power or privilege, nor shall any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any other occurrence.  No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and is signed by the party asserted to have granted such waiver.

 

19.          NOTICES

 

All notices, requests, demands and other communications required or permitted under the Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given and made if (i) delivered by hand, (ii) otherwise delivered against receipt therefor, (iii) sent by a recognized courier with next-day or second-day delivery to the last known address of the other party; or (iv) sent by e-mail with confirmation of receipt.

21.          NO INTERPRETATION AGAINST DRAFTER

 

Each party recognizes that the Agreement is a legally binding contract and acknowledges that such party has had the opportunity to consult with legal counsel of choice.  In any construction of the terms of the Agreement, the same shall not be construed against either party on the basis of that party being the drafter of such terms.

4


 

(c)                                  any securities issued upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any outstanding security immediately prior to the Closing if such outstanding security constituted a New Security (provided, that the existence of such outstanding security has been disclosed to the Investors prior to the Closing);

3.4                               Procedures

 

(a)                                 First Participation Notice.  In the event that the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities (in a single transaction or a series of related transactions), it shall give to each Participation Rights Holder written notice of its intention to issue the New Securities (the “First Participation Notice”), describing the amount and type of the New Securities, the price and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue such New Securities.  Each Participation Rights Holder shall have twenty (20) Business Days from the date of receipt of any such First Participation Notice to agree in writing to purchase such Participation Rights Holder’s Pro Rata Share of such New Securities for the price and upon the terms and conditions specified in the First Participation Notice by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of the New Securities to be purchased (not to exceed such Participation Rights Holder’s Pro Rata Share).  If any Participation Rights Holder fails to so agree in writing within such twenty (20) Business Day period to purchase such Participation Rights Holder’s full Pro Rata Share of an offering of New Securities, then such Participation Rights Holder shall forfeit the right hereunder to purchase that part of its Pro Rata Share of such New Securities that it did not agree to purchase.

 

(b)                                 Second Participation Notice; Oversubscription.  If any Participation Rights Holder fails or declines to exercise its Right of Participation in accordance with subsection (a) above, the Company shall promptly give notice (the “Second Participation Notice”) to other Participation Rights Holders who exercised their Right of Participation (the “Right Participants”) in

 

5


 

accordance with subsection (a) above.  Each Right Participant shall have ten (10) Business Days from the date of the Second Participation Notice (the “Second Participation Period”) to notify the Company of its desire to purchase more than its Pro Rata Share of the New Securities, stating the number of the additional New Securities it proposes to buy (the “Additional Number of Issued Securities”).  Such notice may be made by telephone if confirmed in writing within two (2) Business Days.  If, as a result thereof, such oversubscription exceeds the total number of the remaining New Securities that are subject to the Right of Participation of each Investor available for purchase, the number of New Securities being purchased by each oversubscribing Right Participant will be cut back by the Company with respect to its oversubscription to that number of those remaining New Securities equal to the lesser of (x) the Additional Number of the Issued Securities and (y) the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of the remaining New Securities available for subscription by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Ordinary Shares (calculated on a fully diluted and as-converted basis) held by such oversubscribing Right Participant and the denominator of which is the total number of Ordinary Shares (calculated on a fully diluted and as-converted basis) held by all the oversubscribing Right Participants.  Each Right Participant who has exercised its right to purchase the Additional Number of Issued Securities shall be obligated to buy such number of New Securities as determined by the Company pursuant to this Section 3.4 and the Company shall so notify the Right Participants within fifteen (15) Business Days following the date of the Second Participation Notice.

 

3.5                               Failure to Exercise.  Upon the expiration of the Second Participation Period, or in the event no Participation Rights Holder exercises the Right of Participation within ten (10) days following the issuance of the First Participation Notice, the Company shall have ninety (90) days thereafter to sell the New Securities described in the First Participation Notice (with respect to which the Right of Participation hereunder was not exercised) at the same or a higher price and upon non-price terms not materially more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the First Participation Notice.  In the event that the Company has not issued and sold such New Securities within such ninety (90) day period, then the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without again first offering such New Securities to the Participation Rights Holders pursuant to this Section 3.

 

3.6                               Termination.  The Right of Participation for each Participation Rights Holder shall terminate upon the Qualified Initial Public Offering (as such term is defined in the Memorandum and Articles).

 

4.                                      TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS.

 

4.1                               Certain Definitions.  For the purposes of this Section 4, “Ordinary Holder” means the Founders, the Holdcos and their permitted assignees to whom their rights under this Section 4 have been duly assigned in accordance with this Agreement; “Preferred Holder” means each Investor and its permitted assignees to whom its rights under this Section 4 have been duly assigned in accordance with this Agreement; “Restricted Shares” means any of the Company’s Equity Securities now owned or subsequently acquired by any Ordinary Holder.

 

4.2                               Sale of Restricted Shares; Notice of Sale.  Subject to Section 4.6 of this Agreement, if any Ordinary Holder (the “Selling Shareholder”) proposes to directly or indirectly sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise encumber or dispose of in any way (“Transfer”, and “Transferred” shall have a correlative meaning) any Restricted Shares held by it, then the Selling Shareholder shall promptly give written notice (the “Transfer Notice”) to each Preferred Holder and the Company prior to such Transfer.  The Transfer Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed Transfer, including, without limitation, the number of Restricted Shares to be Transferred (the “Offered Shares”), the nature of such Transfer, the consideration to be paid, and the name and address of each prospective purchaser or transferee.

 

6


 

4.3                               Right of First Refusal.

 

(a)                                 Preferred Holders’ Option.  Each Preferred Holder shall have the right, exercisable upon written notice to the Selling Shareholder, the Company and each other Preferred Holder, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Transfer Notice (the “Preferred First Refusal Period”), to elect to purchase all or any part of its pro rata share of the Offered Shares equivalent to the product obtained by multiplying the aggregate number of the Offered Shares by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Ordinary Shares (calculated on an as-converted basis) held by such Preferred Holder at the time of the transaction and the denominator of which is the total number of Ordinary Shares (calculated on an as-converted basis) owned by all the Preferred Holders at the time of the transaction, at the same price and subject to the same material terms and conditions as described in the Transfer Notice.

 

(b)                                 If any Preferred Holder fails or declines to exercise its right of first refusal in accordance with the paragraph above, the Selling Shareholder shall provide a written notice to each Preferred Holder that fully exercises its right of first refusal in accordance with the paragraph above regarding such Preferred Holder’s rights to purchase additional Offered Shares (“Overallotment Notice”). Each Preferred Holder that fully exercises its right of first refusal shall notify the Selling Shareholder and the Company within seven (7) days following the receipt of the Overallotment Notice of its desire to purchase more than its pro rata share of the Offered Shares, stating the number of the additional Offered Shares it proposes to buy for each such exercising Preferred Holder (the “Additional Number of Offered Shares”).  If, as a result thereof, the number of shares desired to be purchased by such Preferred Holders that exercise the overallotment right exceeds the total number of the remaining Offered Shares that are available for purchase, the number of Offered Shares being purchased by each such exercising Preferred Holder will be cut back to that number of those remaining Offered Shares equal to the lesser of (x) the Additional Number of Offered Shares and (y) the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of the remaining Offered Shares available for purchase by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Ordinary Shares (calculated on an as-converted basis) held by such purchasing Preferred Holder that exercise the overallotment right and the denominator of which is the total number of Ordinary Shares (calculated on an as-converted basis) held by all exercising Preferred Holders that exercise the overallotment right.

 

(c)                                  Expiration Notice.  Within fifteen (15) days after expiration of the Preferred First Refusal Period, the Company will give written notice (the “First Refusal Expiration Notice”) to the Selling Shareholder specifying either (i) that all of the Offered Shares were subscribed by the Preferred Holders exercising their rights of first refusal or (ii) that the Preferred Holders have not subscribed all of the Offered Shares, in which case the First Refusal Expiration Notice will specify the Co-Sale Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) of the remaining Offered Shares for the purpose of their co-sale rights described in Section 4.4 below.

 

(d)                                 Purchase Price.  The purchase price for the Offered Shares to be purchased by the Preferred Holders exercising their right of first refusal will be the price set forth in the Transfer Notice (except as otherwise provided herein), but will be payable as set forth in Section 4.3(e).  If the purchase price in the Transfer Notice includes consideration other than cash, the cash equivalent value of the non-cash consideration will be determined by an independent professional appraiser to be appointed by the Selling Shareholder and the Preferred Holder, which determination will be binding upon the Preferred Holders and the Selling Shareholder, absent fraud or error.

 

(e)                                  Payment.  Payment of the purchase price for the Offered Shares purchased by the Preferred Holders shall be made by wire transfer or check as directed by the Selling Shareholder.

 

7


 

(f)                                   Rights of a Selling Shareholder.  If any Preferred Holder exercises its right of first refusal to purchase the Offered Shares, then, upon the date the notice of such exercise is given by such Preferred Holder, the Selling Shareholder will have no further rights as a holder of such Offered Shares except the right to receive payment for such Offered Shares from such Preferred Holder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and the Selling Shareholder will forthwith deliver a signed instrument of transfer in respect of the relevant Offered Shares and cause all certificate(s) evidencing such Offered Shares to be surrendered to the Company, and the register of members shall be updated and share certificates issued to such Preferred Holder.

 

(g)                                  Application of Co-Sale Right.  In the event that the Preferred Holders have not elected to purchase any or all of the Offered Shares, then the sale of the remaining Offered Shares will become subject to the co-sale right of the Preferred Holder as set forth in Section 4.4 below.

 

4.4                               Co-Sale Right.  To the extent that the Preferred Holders have not exercised their right of first refusal with respect to all of the Offered Shares, then each Preferred Holder that did not exercise its right of first refusal pursuant to Section 4.3 with respect to such Offered Shares (the “Co-Sale Participant”) shall have the right, exercisable upon written notice to the Selling Shareholder, the Company and each other Preferred Holder (the “Co-Sale Notice”) within ten (10) days after receipt of the First Refusal Expiration Notice (the “Co-Sale Right Period”), to participate in such sale of the Offered Shares on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Transfer Notice.  The Co-Sale Notice shall set forth the number of Equity Securities in the Company that such participating Preferred Holder wishes to include in such Transfer, which amount shall not exceed the Co-Sale Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) of such Preferred Holder.  To the extent one or more of the Preferred Holders exercise such right of participation in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below, the number of Restricted Shares that the Selling Shareholder may sell in the transaction shall be correspondingly reduced.  The co-sale right of each Preferred Holder shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

(a)                                 Co-Sale Pro Rata Portion.  Each Co-Sale Participant may sell all or any part of that number of Ordinary Shares (on an as-converted basis) held by it that is equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of the Offered Shares subject to the co-sale right hereunder by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Ordinary Shares (on an as-converted basis) owned by the Co-Sale Participant at the time of the Transfer and the denominator of which is the total combined number of Ordinary Shares (on an as-converted basis) at the time owned by all Co-Sale Participants and the Selling Shareholder (“Co-Sale Pro Rata Portion”).  To the extent that any Co-Sale Participant does not participate in the sale to the full extent of its Co-Sale Pro Rata Portion, the Selling Shareholder and the Co-Sale Participant shall, within ten (10) days after the end of such Co-Sale Right Period, make such adjustments to the Co-Sale Pro Rata Portion of each Co-Sale Participant so that any remaining Offered Shares may be allocated to other Co-Sale Participant on a pro rata basis.

 

(b)                                 Transferred Shares.  Each Co-Sale Participant shall effect its participation in the sale by promptly delivering a signed instrument of transfer in respect of the following Equity Securities and cause all certificate(s) evidencing such Equity Securities, properly endorsed for transfer, to be surrendered to the Company and the register of members shall be updated and share certificates issued to the purchaser:

 

(i)                                     the number of Ordinary Shares which such Co-Sale Participant elects to sell;

 

8


 

(ii)                                  that number of the Series A Preferred Shares which is at such time convertible into the number of Ordinary Shares that such Co-Sale Participant elects to sell; provided in such case that, if the prospective purchaser objects to the delivery of the Series A Preferred Shares in lieu of Ordinary Shares, such Preferred Holder shall convert such Series A Preferred Shares into Ordinary Shares and deliver Ordinary Shares as provided in Subsection 4.4(b)(i) above. The Company agrees to make any such conversion concurrent with the actual transfer of such shares to the purchaser; or

 

(iii)                               a combination of the above.

 

(c)                                  Payment to Preferred Holders. The register of members of the Company shall be updated and share certificates shall be issued to the prospective purchaser in consummation of the sale of the Restricted Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Transfer Notice, and the Selling Shareholder shall concurrently therewith remit to such Co-Sale Participant that portion of the sale proceeds to which such Co-Sale Participant is entitled by reason of its participation in such sale.  To the extent that any prospective purchaser or purchasers prohibit such assignment or otherwise refuse to purchase any shares or other Equity Securities from a Preferred Holder exercising its co-sale right hereunder, the Selling Shareholder shall not sell to such prospective purchaser or purchasers any Restricted Shares unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, the Selling Shareholder shall purchase such shares or other Equity Securities from such Preferred Holder for the same consideration and on the same terms and conditions as described in the Transfer Notice.

 

(d)                                 Right to Transfer.  To the extent the Preferred Holders do not elect to purchase, or to participate in the sale of, the Restricted Shares subject to the Transfer Notice, the Selling Shareholder may, not later than ninety (90) days following delivery to the Company and each of the Preferred Holders of the Transfer Notice, conclude a Transfer of the Restricted Shares covered by the Transfer Notice and not elected to be purchased by the Preferred Holders, which in each case shall be on substantially the same terms and conditions as those described in the Transfer Notice.  Any proposed Transfer on terms and conditions which are materially different from those described in the Transfer Notice, as well as any subsequent proposed Transfer of any Restricted Shares by the Selling Shareholder, shall again be subject to the right of first refusal and the co-sale right of the Preferred Holders and shall require compliance by the Selling Shareholder with the procedures described in Section 4.3 and Section 4.4 of this Agreement.

 

4.5                               Exempt Transfers.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the right of first refusal and co-sale rights of the Preferred Holders shall not apply to (a) any Transfer of Restricted Shares to the Company pursuant to a repurchase right or right of first refusal held by the Company in the event of a termination of employment or consulting relationship; (b) any transfer to the parents, children, or spouse, vehicle companies or to trusts for the benefit of such persons, of any Ordinary Holder by such Ordinary Holder for bona fide estate or tax planning purposes; (c) any transfer of Restricted Shares by any Ordinary Holder to his/her/its Holdco, or a parent owning directly 100% of the voting equity securities or equity interest in such Ordinary Holder; provided, that adequate documentation therefor is provided to each Investor to its satisfaction.

 

4.6                               Prohibited Transfers.

 

(a)                                 Except for the Transfers as provided in Section 4.5 above, prior to the Qualified Initial Public Offering (as such term is defined in the Memorandum and Articles) as long as the Investors hold any Equity Securities in the Company, none of the Ordinary Holders or the permitted transferees shall, without the prior written consent of the Investors and their permitted transferees, directly or indirectly, Transfer through one or a series of transactions any Equity Securities of the Company now held by him/her/it to any person, which Transfer would result in (i)

 

9


 

the aggregate shareholding of the Founders and/or the Holdcos in the Company less than 51% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company (on a fully-diluted and as converted basis), (ii) the corresponding valuation of any such Transfer is lower than the valuation of the Transactions, or (iii) in violation of this Section 4.

 

(b)                                 Except for purposes of the Qualified Initial Public Offering, for the Transactions and the customary operation of the Group Companies, neither the Founders nor the Holdcos shall Transfer the Equity Securities of any Major Subsidiaries, unless otherwise agreed in this Agreement.

 

(c)                                  Any attempt by a party to Transfer any Equity Securities in violation of this Section 4 shall be void and the Company hereby agrees it will not effect such a Transfer nor will it treat any alleged transferee as the holder of such Equity Securities without the prior written consent of the Investors.

 

(d)                                 Furthermore and according to the foregoing Subsection (a), each Founder agrees that any Transfer of any Equity Securities in the Holdcos shall be deemed to be an indirect Transfer of Equity Securities of the Company and therefore is subject to all of the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to Transfers set forth in this Agreement.  The Founders shall not make, cause or permit any Transfer of any Equity Securities in the Holdcos without first complying with all of the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to a Transfer of  Equity Securities of the Company pursuant to this Agreement, and any purported Transfer of any Equity Securities in the Holdcos in contravention of this Agreement shall be void and ineffective for any and all purposes and shall not confer on any transferee or purported transferee any rights whatsoever, and the Holdcos shall not recognize any such Transfer, sale or issuance.  In addition, each Founder irrevocably agrees to cause and guarantee the performance by the Holdcos of all of its respective covenants and obligations under this Agreement.

 

4.7                               Transfers in Compliance with Law.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, no Transfer may be made pursuant to this Section 4 unless (i) the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement pursuant to a Deed of Adherence in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, (ii) the Transfer complies in all respects with other applicable provisions of this Agreement, and (iii) the Transfer complies in all respects with the applicable Laws.  If requested by the Company in its reasonable discretion, an opinion of counsel to a transferring Shareholder shall be supplied to the Company, at such transferring Shareholder’s expense, to the effect that the Transfer complies with all applicable Laws.

 

4.8                               Legend.

 

(a)                                 Each certificate representing the Restricted Shares shall be endorsed with the following legend:

 

THE SALE, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN A SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.

 

(b)                                 Each party agrees that the Company may instruct its transfer agent to impose transfer restrictions on the shares represented by certificates bearing the legend referred to in Section 4.8(a) above to enforce the provisions of this Agreement and the Company agrees to promptly do so.  The legend shall be removed upon termination of the provisions of this Section 4.

2.3                                       Right of Deferral.

 

(a)                                         The Company shall not be obligated to Register or qualify Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2:

 

(i)                                                                      if, within ten (10) days of the receipt of any request of the Holders to Register any Registrable Securities under Section 2.1 or Section 2.2, the Company gives notice to the Initiating Holders of its bona fide intention to effect the filing for its own account of a Registration Statement of Ordinary Shares within sixty (60) days of receipt of that request; provided, that the Company is actively employing in good faith its best efforts to cause that Registration Statement to become effective within sixty (60) days of receipt of that request; provided, further, that the Holders are entitled to join such Registration subject to Section 3 (other than a registration of securities in a transaction under Rule 145 of the Securities Act or with respect to an employee benefit plan;

 


 

(ii)                                                                   during the period starting with the date of filing by the Company of, and ending six (6) months following the effective date of any Registration Statement pertaining to Ordinary Shares of the Company; provided, that the Holders are entitled to join such Registration subject to Section 3 (other than a registration of securities in a transaction under Rule 145 of the Securities Act or with respect to an employee benefit plan); or

 

(iii)                                                                in any jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such Registration or qualification, unless the Company is already subject to service of process in such jurisdiction.

 

(b)                                         If, after receiving a request from Holders pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2 hereof, the Company furnishes to the Holders a certificate signed by the chief executive officer of the Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be materially detrimental to the Company or its members for a Registration Statement to be filed in the near future, then the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period during which such filing would be materially detrimental, provided, that that the Company may not utilize this right and/or the deferral right contained in clause (ii) for more than ninety (90) days on any one occasion or for more than once during any twelve (12) month period; provided, further, that the Company may not Register any other of its securities during such period (except for Registrations contemplated by Section 3.4).

 

2.4                                       Underwritten Offerings.  If, in connection with a request to Register the Registrable Securities under Section 2.1 or Section 2.2, the Initiating Holders seek to distribute such Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering, they shall so advise the Company as a part of the request, and the Company shall include such information in the written notice to the other Holders described in Section 2.1 and Section 2.2.  In such event, the right of any Holder to include its Registrable Securities in such Registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwritten offering and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwritten offering (unless otherwise mutually agreed by a majority-in-interest of the Initiating Holders and such Holder, taken together) to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwritten offering shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters of internationally recognized standing selected for such underwritten offering by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the holders of a majority of the voting power of all Registrable Securities proposed to be included in such Registration.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the managing underwriter advises the Company that marketing factors (including without limitation the aggregate number of securities requested to be Registered, the general condition of the market, and the status of the Persons proposing to sell securities pursuant to the Registration) require a limitation of the number of Registrable Securities to be underwritten in a Registration pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2, the underwriters may (i) in the event the offering is the Company’s Initial Public Offering, exclude from the underwritten offering all of the Registrable Securities (so long as the only securities included in such offering are those sold for the account of the Company), or (ii) otherwise exclude up to seventy-five percent (75%) of the Registrable Securities requested to be Registered but only after first excluding all other Equity Securities from the Registration and underwritten offering and so long as the number of Registrable Securities to be included in the Registration is allocated among all Holders in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities requested by such Holders to be included.  Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwritten offering shall be withdrawn from the Registration. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to a Holder to the nearest one hundred (100) shares.

 

3.                                      Piggyback Registrations.

 

3.1                                       Registration of the Company’s Securities.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement, if the Company proposes to Register for its own account any of its Equity Securities, or

 


 

for the account of any holder (other than a Holder) of the Equity Securities any of such holder’s Equity Securities, in connection with the public offering of such securities (except as set forth in Section 3.4), the Company shall promptly give each Holder written notice of such Registration and, upon the written request of any Holder given within fifteen (15) days after delivery of such notice, the Company shall use its best efforts to include in such Registration any Registrable Securities thereby requested to be Registered by such Holder.  If a Holder decides not to include all or any of its Registrable Securities in such Registration by the Company, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent Registration Statement or Registration Statements as may be filed by the Company, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

3.2                                       Right to Terminate Registration.  The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any Registration initiated by it under Section 3.1 prior to the effectiveness of such Registration, whether or not any Holder has elected to participate therein.  The expenses of such withdrawn Registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 4.3.

 

3.3                                       Underwriting Requirements.

 

(a)                                         In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of the Company’s Equity Securities, the Company shall not be required to Register the Registrable Securities of a Holder under this Section 3 unless such Holder’s Registrable Securities are included in the underwritten offering and such Holder enters into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters of internationally recognized standing selected by the Company and setting forth such terms for the underwritten offering as have been agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters.  In the event the underwriters advise Holders seeking Registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 3 in writing that market factors (including the aggregate number of Registrable Securities requested to be Registered, the general condition of the market, and the status of the Persons proposing to sell securities pursuant to the Registration) require a limitation of the number of Registrable Securities to be underwritten, the underwriters may (i) in the event the offering is the Company’s IPO, exclude all of the Registrable Securities (so long as the only securities included in such offering are those sold for the account of the Company and no securities of other Selling shareholders are included), or (ii) otherwise exclude up to seventy-five percent (75%) of the Registrable Securities requested to be Registered but only after first excluding all other Equity Securities (except for securities sold for the account of the Company) from the Registration and underwriting and so long as the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration is allocated among all Holders in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities requested by such Holders to be included. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to a Holder to the nearest one hundred (100) shares.

 

(b)                                         If any Holder disapproves the terms of any underwriting, the Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriters delivered at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement.  Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from the underwritten offering shall be withdrawn from the Registration.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any Registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2 if the Registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered (in which case all participating Holders shall bear such expenses pro rata based upon the number of Registrable Securities that were to be included in the withdrawn registration), unless such withdrawal is due to an action or inaction of the Company or an event outside of the reasonable control of such Holders.

 

3.4                                       Exempt Transactions.  The Company shall have no obligation to Register any Registrable Securities under this Section 3 in connection with a Registration by the Company

 


 

(i) relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in a Company share plan, or (ii) relating to a corporate reorganization or other transaction under Rule 145 of the Securities Act (or comparable provision under the Laws of another jurisdiction, as applicable).

 

4.                                      Registration Procedures.

 

4.1                                       Registration Procedures and Obligations.  Whenever required under this Agreement to effect the Registration of any Registrable Securities held by the Holders, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

 

(a)                                         Prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement with respect to those Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause that Registration Statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities Registered thereunder, keep the Registration Statement effective for up to one hundred twenty (120) days or, if earlier, until the distribution thereunder has been completed; provided, however, that (a) such one hundred twenty (120) day period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period any Holder refrains from selling any Registrable Securities included in such Registration at the written request of the underwriter(s) for such Registration, and (b) in the case of any Registration of Registrable Securities on Form F-3 or Form S-3 that are intended to be offered on a continuous or delayed basis, subject to compliance with applicable rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, such one hundred twenty (120) day period shall be extended, if necessary, to keep the Registration Statement or such comparable form, as the case may be, effective until all such Registrable Securities are sold;

 

(b)                                         Prepare and file with the Commission amendments and supplements to that Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with the Registration Statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of applicable securities Laws with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by the Registration Statement;

(e)                                          In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in customary form, with the managing underwriter(s) of the offering.  The underwriting agreement shall be reasonably acceptable to the Holders participating in such underwriting.  Each Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such underwriting agreement;

 

(f)                                           Promptly notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under applicable securities Laws of (a) the issuance of any stop order by the Commission, or (b) the happening of any event or the existence of any condition as a result of which any prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, or if in the opinion of counsel for the Company it is necessary to supplement or amend such prospectus to comply with Law, and at the request of any such Holder promptly prepare and furnish to such Holder a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so

 


 

that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made or such prospectus, as supplemented or amended, shall comply with Law;

 

(g)                                          Furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting Registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered for sale in connection with a Registration pursuant to this Agreement, (i) an opinion, dated the date of the sale, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of the Registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering; and (ii) a comfort letter dated the date of the sale, from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters;

 

(h)                                         Otherwise comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission to the extent applicable to the applicable registration statement and use its best efforts to make generally available to its security holders (or otherwise provide in accordance with Section 11(a) of the Securities Act) an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act, no later than forty-five (45) days after the end of a twelve (12) month period (or ninety (90) days, if such period is a fiscal year) beginning with the first month of the Company’s first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of such registration statement, which statement shall cover such twelve (12) month period, subject to any proper and necessary extensions;

 

(i)                                             Not, without the prior consent of the holders of at least a majority of voting power of the then outstanding Registrable Securities, make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act;

 

(j)                                            Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities Registered pursuant to the Registration Statement and, where applicable, a number assigned by the Committee on Uniform Securities Identification Procedures for all those Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of the Registration; and

 

(k)                                         Take all reasonable action necessary to list the Registrable Securities on the primary exchange on which the Company’s securities are then traded or, in connection with an IPO, the primary exchange on which the Company’s securities will be traded.

 

4.2                                       Information from Holder.  It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the Registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities.

 

4.3                                       Expenses of Registration.  All expenses, other than the underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement (which shall be borne by the Holders requesting Registration on a pro rata basis in proportion to their respective numbers of Registrable Securities sold in such Registration), incurred in connection with Registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to this Agreement, including (without limitation) all Registration, filing and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and reasonable fees and disbursement of one (1) counsel for all selling Holders, shall be borne by the Company. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay for any expenses of any Registration proceeding begun pursuant to this Agreement if the Registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of a majority-in-interest of the Holders requesting such

 


 

Registration (in which case all participating Holders shall bear such expenses pro rata based upon the number of Registrable Securities that were to be thereby Registered in the withdrawn Registration).

 

5.                                      Registration-Related Indemnification.

 

5.1                                       Company Indemnity.

 

(a)                                         To the maximum extent permitted by Law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, such Holder’s partners, officers, directors, shareholders and legal counsel, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) and each Person, if any, who controls (as defined in the Securities Act) such Holder or underwriter, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under Laws which are applicable to the Company and relate to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any Registration, qualification, or compliance, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (each a “Violation”):  (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such Registration Statement, on the effective date thereof (including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto), (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement, on the effective date thereof (including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto), a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of applicable securities Laws, or any rule or regulation promulgated under applicable securities Laws.  The Company will reimburse each such Holder, underwriter or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

 

(b)                                         The indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5.1 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises solely out of or is solely based upon a Violation that occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished in a certificate expressly for use in connection with such Registration by any such Holder, such Holder’s partners, officers, directors, and legal counsel, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) and each Person, if any, who controls (as defined in the Securities Act) such Holder or underwriter.  Further, the foregoing indemnity agreement with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Holder or other aforementioned person, or any person controlling such Holder, from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased shares in the offering, if a copy of the most current prospectus was not sent or given by or on behalf of such Holder or other aforementioned person to such person, if required by Law to have been so delivered, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the shares to such person, and if the prospectus (as so amended or supplemented) would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, claim, damage or liability.

 

5.2                                       Holder Indemnity.

 

(a)                                         To the maximum extent permitted by Law, each selling Holder that has included Registrable Securities in a Registration will, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, legal counsel and accountants, any underwriter, any other Holder selling securities in connection with such Registration and each Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) the Company, such underwriter or other Holder, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject, under applicable securities Laws, or any rule or regulation promulgated under applicable securities Laws, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in

 


 

respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder in a certificate expressly for use in connection with such Registration; and each such Holder will reimburse any Person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.2, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action.  No Holder’s liability under this Section 5.2 shall exceed the net proceeds (less underwriting discounts and selling commissions) received by such Holder from the offering of securities made in connection with that Registration.

 

(b)                                         The indemnity contained in this Section 5.2 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

 

5.3                                       Notice of Indemnification Claim.  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 5.1 or Section 5.2 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under Section 5.1 or Section 5.2, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying parties.  An indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the reasonably incurred fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party, to the extent so prejudiced, of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 5, but the omission to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 5.

 

5.4                                       Contribution.  If any indemnification provided for in Section 5.1 or Section 5.2 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and of the indemnified party, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. No Holder’s liability under this Section 5.4, when combined with such Holder’s liability under Section 5.2, shall exceed the net proceeds (less underwriting discounts and selling commissions) received by such Holder from the offering of securities made in connection with that Registration.

 

5.5                                       Underwriting Agreement.  To the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.

 


 

5.6                                       Survival.  The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 5 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement under this Agreement.

 

6.                                      Additional Registration-Related Undertakings.

 

6.1                                       Reports under the Exchange Act.  With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and any comparable provision of any applicable securities Laws that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without Registration or pursuant to a Registration on Form F-3 or Form S-3 (or any comparable form in a jurisdiction other than the United States of America), the Company agrees to:

 

(a)                                         make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 (or comparable provision, if any, under applicable securities Laws in any jurisdiction where the Company’s securities are listed), at all times following ninety (90) days after the effective date of the first Registration under the Securities Act filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public;

EXHIBIT C

 

Terms and Conditions

 

1.                                      Dividends

 

1.1.                            The Company shall not be required to pay any dividends to the Series B Preferred Holders in a fiscal year as long as the Company has not paid any dividends to the Ordinary Shares Holders.  If any dividends are paid to the Ordinary Shares Holders and the total amount of all such dividends is less than sixty percent (60%) of the Company’s Audited Net Earnings of the fiscal year during which such dividends are paid, the Series B Preferred Holders shall also receive, a dividend on each outstanding Series B Preferred Share in an amount equal to the product of (A) the dividend payable on each Ordinary Share multiplying (B) the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of a Series B Preferred Share, in each case calculated on the record date for determination of holders entitled to receive such dividend.

 

1.2.                            If any dividends to be paid to the Ordinary Shares Holders that will cause the total amount of dividends paid to the Ordinary Shares Holders in a fiscal year exceeds sixty percent (60%) of the Company’s Audited Net Earnings of such fiscal year, it requires consent from the Investor in accordance with Section 1.3 of this Exhibit C.

 

1.3.                            Before making any dividends as described in Section 1.2 of this Exhibit C, the Company shall provide written notice to the Series B Preferred Holders of its intention to pay such dividends, and within seven (7) days after receipt of such written notice, the Series B Preferred Holders shall either (i) respond to the effect it consents to such dividend distributions or (ii) respond to the effect that it does not consent to such dividend distributions and then as a result, the Series B Preferred Holders may exercise its Redemption Option in accordance with Section 7.1 of this Exhibit C; if the Investor does not respond or exercise its Redemption Option within seven (7) days, it shall be deemed to have consented to such dividend distributions and waived its right to redeem shares in connection with Section 1.3 (ii) of this Exhibit C.

 

1.4.                            Section 1.1 (except for the first sentence), Section 1.2 and Section 1.3 of this Exhibit C shall terminate automatically upon consummation of an IPO, provided that after an IPO, if any dividends are paid to the Ordinary Shares Holders, the Series B Preferred Holders shall also receive a dividend on each outstanding Series B Preferred Share in an amount equal to the product as calculated with the same formula as provided in Section 1.1 of this Exhibit C.

 

2.                                      Conversion Price

 

46


 

2.1.                            With respect to the conversion of Series B Preferred Shares under this Agreement, each share of the Series B Preferred Shares shall be converted into such number of Ordinary Shares of the Company as determined by dividing the Series B Original Purchase Price by the Series B Conversion Price (as defined below and be subject to adjustment as provided in the Restated Articles) in effect at the time of conversion and the Company undertakes that immediately prior to IPO, to the extent that such Ordinary Shares are less than the Conversion Shares, the relevant number of Conversion Shares shall be issued to the Investor immediately prior to the IPO.

 

The “Series B Conversion Price” shall be equal to a price determined by dividing the Pre-Money Valuation (as defined below) by the total issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares as of the Effective Date.

 

For illustrative purposes only, assuming that the Pre-Money Valuation is US$385,000,000.00 and the total number of issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares (on a fully-diluted basis as if the Series A Preferred Shares have been fully converted but excluding any Ordinary Shares which would be issued pursuant to the conversion of Series B Preferred Shares) is 10,000,000 Ordinary Shares, then the Series B Conversion Price shall be equal to US$38.50. In such case, each Series B Preferred Share shall, on conversion, result in the issue of such number of Ordinary Shares by dividing the Series B Original Purchase Price by the Series B Conversion Price. In other words, US$150,000 divided by US$38.50, equals to 3,896.10 Ordinary Shares.

 

The “Pre-Money Valuation” means the total equity valuation of the Company as of the Effective Date, which is the lower of (i) US$385,000,000.00 and (ii) fifteen (15) times the Company’s Audited Net Earnings of the fiscal year of 2019; provided that:

 

(i)             for the purpose of calculating conversion price pursuant to Section 1.1, Section 3.1(ii) and (iii), Section 3.2, Section 3.3 and Section 3.4 of this Exhibit C, and for the purpose of calculating the conversion price before the adjustment of the Series B Conversion Price pursuant to the Restated Articles, if Audited Net Earnings of the fiscal year of 2019 are not available at the time of the calculation, the Series B Conversion Price shall be determined based on the Pre-Money Valuation of US$385,000,000.00, if Audited Net Earnings of the fiscal year of 2019 are available at the time of the calculation, the Series B Conversion Price shall be determined based on the Pre-Money Valuation as determined in accordance with the first sentence of this paragraph;

 

(ii)                                  for the purpose of calculating the conversion price pursuant to Section 3.1(i) of this Exhibit C, if the Audited Net Earnings of fiscal year 2019 are not available at

 

47


 

the time of the conversion, the Investor may initially exercise the Conversion Option based on the Pre-Money Valuation of US$385,000,000.00, and when the aforementioned Audited Net Earnings of fiscal year 2019 become available after the conversion, and fifteen (15) times Audited Net Earnings of fiscal year 2019 is less than US$327,250,000.00, the existing shareholders of the Company as of the Effective Date, on a pro rata basis, shall transfer additional Ordinary Shares (“Compensation Shares”) to the Investor to the effect as if the Investor had converted its outstanding Series B Preferred Shares with the Series B Conversion Price calculated based on the Pre-Money Valuation of fifteen (15) times Audited Net Earnings of fiscal year 2019.  In the event that the existing shareholders of the Company as of the Effective Date fail to transfer all or part of the Compensation Shares to the Investor as set out in this Section 2.1(ii) of this Exhibit C, the Founder shall transfer or shall procure the transfer of the shortfall of the Compensation Shares to the Investor subject to Section 2.1 (iii) of this Exhibit C. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.1 (ii) of Exhibit C shall only apply to the exercise of Conversion Option prior to an IPO.

 

(iii)                               notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall the total post-conversion shareholding percentage of the Conversion Shares exceed 11.25% of the Company’s pre-IPO total equity on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis; with respect to any conversion under this Agreement, if the Pre-Money Valuation as determined in Section 2.1(i) and (ii) above results in the total post-conversion shareholding percentage of Conversion Shares exceeding 11.25% of the Company’s pre-IPO total equity, the Investor shall choose, no later than five (5) Business Days following the Post-IPO Option Date, (i) to convert all (but not less than all) of its Series B Preferred Shares into 11.25% of Ordinary Shares of the Company on a pre-IPO fully-diluted and as-converted basis, or (ii) to request the Company to redeem all (but not less than all) of the Series B Preferred Shares, whether or not such Series B Preferred Shares have been converted into Conversion Shares, at the Optional Redemption Price, which the Company shall pay within seven (7) Business Days following the delivery of the relevant shares for redemption. For the avoidance of doubt, if both the circumstances as set out in this Section 2.1(iii) of Exhibit C and Section 3.2 of Exhibit C below occur (i.e. with respect to any conversion under this Agreement, the Pre-Money Valuation as determined in Section 2.1(i) and (ii) above results in the total post-conversion shareholding percentage of Conversion Shares exceeding 11.25% of the Company’s pre-IPO total equity; AND both of the Average Stock Price and Consecutive Stock Price reach one hundred and thirty percent (130%) of the Series B Conversion Price then in effect and the total equity valuation of the Company is no less than US Dollar five hundred million (US$500,000,000.00)

 

48


 

(on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis) on the Post-IPO Option Date), this Section 2.1(iii) of Exhibit C shall apply (i.e. the Investor may choose, no later than five (5) Business Days following the Post-IPO Option Date, (i) to convert all (but not less than all) of its Series B Preferred Shares into 11.25% of Ordinary Shares of the Company on a pre-IPO fully-diluted and as-converted basis, or (ii) to request the Company to redeem all (but not less than all) of the Series B Preferred Shares as set out in this Section 2.1(iii) of Exhibit C).

 

2.2.                            In the event the outstanding Ordinary Shares shall be subdivided (by share dividend, share split, or otherwise) into a greater number of the Ordinary Shares, the Series B Conversion Price then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately decreased.  In the event the outstanding Ordinary Shares shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of the Ordinary Shares, the Series B Conversion Price then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately increased.

 

2.3.                            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Ordinary Shares (including the Compensation Shares as abovementioned in Section 2.1 (ii) of this Exhibit C) which the holder of the Series B Preferred Shares is entitled to after the conversion of Series B Preferred Shares under this Agreement shall be designated, upon or after an IPO, as the same class of Ordinary Shares as that converted from the Series A Preferred Shares will be designated upon IPO; for the avoidance of doubt, the right to register the Conversion Shares pursuant to Section 7.6 hereof and Section 3.5 of the Exhibit C hereto is preserved after such designation.

 

2.4.                            Section 2 of this Exhibit C shall not terminate upon consummation of IPO.

 

3.                                      Conversion

 

3.1.                            Any Series B Preferred Shares holder shall have the following options (each such option, the “Conversion Option”) to convert its Series B Preferred Shares before the Mandatory Redemption Date and the exercise of a Redemption Option:

 

(i)                                     at any time prior to an IPO to convert all or part of its outstanding Series B Preferred Shares into such number of Conversion Shares at the Series B Conversion Price then in effect;

 

(ii)                                  at any time upon or after an IPO but prior to the Post-IPO Option Date (as defined below), to convert all or part of its outstanding Series B Preferred Shares into

 

49


 

such number of Conversion Shares at the Series B Conversion Price then in effect; or

 

(iii)                               pursuant to Section 3.3 (i) of this Exhibit C, no later than five (5) Business Days following the Post-IPO Option Date, to convert all (but not less than all) of its outstanding Series B Preferred Shares into such number of Conversion Shares at the Series B Conversion Price then in effect;

 

provided that if the Company is not the legal entity which will be the listed entity in an IPO, the Series B Preferred Shares shall convert into shares of the proposed listed entity in the IPO, instead of Conversion Shares, on terms no less favourable than the conversion to Conversion Shares as contemplated herein and unless the Conversion Option is into shares in such listed entity on the terms as contemplated, the Company agrees not to proceed with the IPO.

 

3.2.                            If on the last day of the one hundred-eighty (180) day period commencing on the effective date of the registration statement relating to an IPO but prior to the Mandatory Redemption Date (if such day falls on the same day with the Mandatory Redemption Date, it shall be deemed to be prior to the Mandatory Redemption Date) (the “Post-IPO Option Date”), both of the Average Stock Price and Consecutive Stock Price reach one hundred and thirty percent (130%) of the Series B Conversion Price then in effect and the total equity valuation of the Company shall be no less than US Dollar five hundred million (US$500,000,000.00) (on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis), then all of the outstanding Series B Preferred Shares shall automatically be converted into such number of Conversion Shares at the Series B Conversion Price then in effect as calculated pursuant to Section 2.1 of this Exhibit C and such shares may not be reissued by the Company.

The “Consecutive Stock Price” means each closing price at which the stock of the Company trades upon the closing of the stock exchange for the last five (5) consecutive trading days prior to the Post-IPO Option Date (including the Post-IPO Option Date).

 

3.3.                            If on the Post-IPO Option Date, either the Average Stock Price or the Consecutive Stock Price does not reach one hundred and thirty percent (130%) of the Series B Conversion Price then in effect, or the total equity valuation of the Company is less than US Dollar five hundred million (US$500,000,000.00) (on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis), then the Series B Preferred Holder shall, no later than five (5) Business Days following

 

50


 

the Post-IPO Option Date either (i) request the Company to convert all (but not less than all) of its outstanding Series B Preferred Shares into such number of Conversion Shares at the Series B Conversion Price then in effect or (ii) request the Company to redeem all (but not less than all) of its outstanding Series B Preferred Shares in accordance with Section 7.1.1 of this Exhibit C.

 

3.4.                            If the Series B Preferred Holder does not exercise either option under above Section 3.3 of this Exhibit C, then all of the outstanding Series B Preferred Shares shall automatically be converted into such number of Conversion Shares at the Series B Conversion Price then in effect as calculated pursuant to Section 2.1 of this Exhibit C and such shares may not be reissued by the Company (together with the conversion pursuant to Section 3.2 of this Exhibit C, the “Mandatory Conversion”).

 

3.5.                            The Company covenants that the Investor has the right to cause the Company to use its best efforts to effect the registration of the Conversion Shares issued or issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares under the Securities Act, and after the Closing Date but prior to any public offering of the Company’s securities, the Company and the Investor shall enter into a registration rights agreement on customary terms and conditions, providing that, among other things, the Investor shall be entitled to normal registration rights, subject to customary underwriter cutbacks. The Company shall bear the costs and expenses of the Investor in connection with any public offering or registration (other than the underwriter’s commission), including the costs and expenses of counsel for the Investor.  Commencing from the Closing Date until the Mandatory Redemption Date, a breach of (a) the Company’s covenant that the Investor has the right to cause the Company to use its best efforts to effect the registration of the Conversion Shares issued or issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares under the Securities Act; or (b) the Company’s covenant to enter into a registration rights agreement with the Investor prior to an IPO under this Section 3.5 of this Exhibit C, shall entitle the Investor to either (i) exercise its Redemption Option (as defined below) (and if the Series B Preferred Shares have already been converted into Conversion Shares at the time, the Redemption Option shall be exercised as if such Conversion Shares have not been converted and still remained as Series B Preferred Shares); or (ii) receive damages and/or compensation for Investor’s loss of profits from the Company as a result of the failure of the Company to effect registration of the Conversion Shares (issued or issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares under the Securities Act) and any appreciation of the price of the Conversion Shares.

 

3.6.                            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, without prior written consent of the Company and the Founder, the Investor shall not at any time before the expiration of the one hundred-eighty (180) day period commencing on the effective date of the

 

51


 

registration statement relating to an IPO, sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, pledge or otherwise encumber, or otherwise dispose of, any Conversion Shares issued or issuable upon any conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares.  The foregoing restrictions are intended and shall be construed so as to preclude the Investor from engaging in any hedging or other transaction that is designed to or reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in, a sale or disposition of any Conversion Shares during such period even if such Conversion Shares are or would be disposed of by someone other than the Investor or its affiliate.

 

3.7.                            Section 3 of this Exhibit C shall not terminate upon consummation of IPO.

 

4.                                      Mechanics of Conversion

 

4.1.                            No fractional Ordinary Share shall be issued upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then effective Series B Conversion Price.

 

4.2.                            Before any Series B Preferred Holder shall be entitled to convert the same into the Conversion Shares and to receive certificates therefor, such Series B Preferred Holder shall, with respect to an Conversion Option pursuant to Section 3.1 (i) and (ii) of this Exhibit C provide at least seven (7) Business Days prior written notice, with respect to an Conversion Option pursuant to Section 3.1 (iii) of this Exhibit C provide written notice to the Company no later than five (5) Business Days following the Post-IPO Option Date, to the Company or any transfer agent for the Series B Preferred Shares to be converted.

 

4.3.                            With respect to the Conversion Option and the Mandatory Conversion, before any Series B Preferred Holder shall be entitled to the Conversion Shares and to receive certificates therefor, if such holder’s shares are certificated, surrender the certificate or certificates therefor (or, if such registered holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Company to indemnify the Company against any claim that may be made against the Company on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate), at the principal office of the Company or of any transfer agent for the Series B Preferred Shares to be converted.  Such notice shall state such holder’s name or the names of the nominees in which such holder wishes the Conversion Shares to be issued.  If required by the Company, any certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company, duly executed by the registered holder or his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing.  The Company shall update the register of members and issue and deliver at such office to such Series B Preferred Holder a certificate or certificates for the number of the

 

52


 

Conversion Shares to which such Series B Preferred Holder shall be entitled as aforesaid and a check payable to such Series B Preferred Holder in the amount of any cash amounts payable (if any) as the result of a conversion into fractional Conversion Shares.  Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the certificate or certificates representing the Series B Preferred Shares to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the Conversion Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Conversion Shares on such date.

 

4.4.                            Section 4 of this Exhibit C shall not terminate upon consummation of IPO.

 

5.                                      Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion

 

5.1.                            The Company shall at all times keep available out of its authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares such number of its Ordinary Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Series B Preferred Shares, and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding Series B Preferred Shares, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the Series B Preferred Holders, the Company and its members will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

 

5.2.                            Section 5 of this Exhibit C shall not terminate upon consummation of IPO.

 

6.                                      Mandatory Redemption

 

6.1.                            Unless prohibited or restricted by the Statute governing distributions to members, if until the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Mandatory Redemption Date”) any of the Series B Preferred Shares remain outstanding, the Company shall within seven (7) Business Days of Mandatory Redemption Date, redeem all of the Investor’s outstanding Series B Preferred Shares, at an aggregate redemption price (the “Mandatory Redemption Price”) that provides the Investor with the Internal Rate of Return on the original purchase price for the outstanding Series B Preferred Shares to be redeemed under this Section 6.1 for the period during which such outstanding Series B Preferred Shares remain outstanding (for the avoidance of any doubt, any dividend paid will be included in the calculation of the redemption price) (the “Mandatory Redemption”).

 

53


 

6.2.                            Section 6 of this Exhibit C shall not terminate upon consummation of IPO.

EXHIBIT C

 

Terms and Conditions

 

1.                                      Dividends

 

1.1.                            The Company shall not be required to pay any dividends to the Series C Preferred Holders in a fiscal year as long as the Company has not paid any dividends to the Ordinary Shares Holders.  If any dividends are paid to the Ordinary Shares Holders and the total amount of all such dividends is less than sixty percent (60%) of the Company’s Audited Net Earnings of the fiscal year during which such dividends are paid, the Series C Preferred Holders shall also receive, a dividend on each outstanding Series C Preferred Share in an amount equal to the product of (A) the dividend payable on each Ordinary Share multiplying (B) the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of a Series C Preferred Share, in each case calculated on the record date for determination of holders entitled to receive such dividend.

 

1.2.                            If any dividends to be paid to the Ordinary Shares Holders that will cause the total amount of dividends paid to the Ordinary Shares Holders in a fiscal year exceeds sixty percent (60%) of the Company’s Audited Net Earnings of such fiscal year, it requires consent from the Investor in accordance with Section 1.3 of this Exhibit C.

 

1.3.                            Before making any dividends as described in Section 1.2 of this Exhibit C, the Company shall provide written notice to the Series C Preferred Holders of its intention to pay such dividends, and within seven (7) days after receipt of such written notice, the Series C Preferred Holders shall either (i) respond to the effect it consents to such dividend distributions or (ii) respond to the effect that it does not consent to such dividend distributions and then as a result, the Series C Preferred Holders may exercise its Redemption Option in accordance with Section 7.1 of this Exhibit C; if the Investor does not respond or exercise its Redemption Option within seven (7) days, it shall be deemed to have consented to such dividend distributions and waived its right to redeem shares in connection with Section 1.3 (ii) of this Exhibit C.

 

1.4.                            Section 1.1 (except for the first sentence), Section 1.2 and Section 1.3 of this Exhibit C shall terminate automatically upon consummation of an IPO, provided that after an IPO, if any dividends are paid to the Ordinary Shares Holders, the Series C Preferred Holders shall also receive a dividend on each outstanding Series C Preferred Share in an amount equal to the product as calculated with the same formula as provided in Section 1.1 of this Exhibit C.

 

2.                                      Conversion Price

 

46


 

2.1.                            With respect to the conversion of Series C Preferred Shares under this Agreement, each share of the Series C Preferred Shares shall be converted into such number of Ordinary Shares of the Company as determined by dividing the Series C Original Purchase Price by the Series C Conversion Price (as defined below and be subject to adjustment as provided in the Restated Articles) in effect at the time of conversion and the Company undertakes that immediately prior to IPO, to the extent that such Ordinary Shares are less than the Conversion Shares, the relevant number of Conversion Shares shall be issued to the Investor immediately prior to the IPO.

 

The “Series C Conversion Price” shall be equal to a price determined by dividing the Pre-Money Valuation (as defined below) by the product equals to (x) the total issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares as of the Effective Date plus (y) the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares as of the Effective Date.

 

For illustrative purposes only, assuming that the Pre-Money Valuation is US$385,000,000.00, and (x) the total issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares as of the Effective Date plus (y) the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares as of the Effective Date equals to 10,000,000 Ordinary Shares, then the Series C Conversion Price shall be equal to US$38.50.  In such case, each Series C Preferred Share shall, on conversion, result in the issue of such number of Ordinary Shares by dividing the Series C Original Purchase Price by the Series C Conversion Price. In other words, US$100,000 divided by US$38.50, equals to 2,597.40 Ordinary Shares.

 

The “Pre-Money Valuation” means the total equity valuation of the Company as of the Effective Date (not including the Series B Preferred Shares), which is the lower of (i) US$385,000,000.00 and (ii) fifteen (15) times the Company’s Audited Net Earnings of the fiscal year of 2019; provided that:

 

(i)             for the purpose of calculating conversion price pursuant to Section 1.1, Section 3.1(ii) and (iii), Section 3.2, Section 3.3 and Section 3.4 of this Exhibit C, and for the purpose of calculating the conversion price before the adjustment of the Series C Conversion Price pursuant to the Restated Articles, if Audited Net Earnings of the fiscal year of 2019 are not available at the time of the calculation, the Series C Conversion Price shall be determined based on the Pre-Money Valuation of US$385,000,000.00, if Audited Net Earnings of the fiscal year of 2019 are available at the time of the calculation, the Series C Conversion Price shall be determined based on the Pre-Money Valuation as determined in accordance with the first sentence of this paragraph;

 

47


 

(ii)          for the purpose of calculating the conversion price pursuant to Section 3.1(i) of this Exhibit C, if the Audited Net Earnings of fiscal year 2019 are not available at the time of the conversion, the Investor may initially exercise the Conversion Option based on the Pre-Money Valuation of US$385,000,000.00, and when the aforementioned Audited Net Earnings of fiscal year 2019 become available after the conversion, and fifteen (15) times Audited Net Earnings of fiscal year 2019 is less than US$327,250,000.00, the existing shareholders of the Company as of the Effective Date (not including holder of Series B Preferred Shares), on a pro rata basis, shall transfer additional Ordinary Shares (“Compensation Shares”) to the Investor to the effect as if the Investor had converted its outstanding Series C Preferred Shares with the Series C Conversion Price calculated based on the Pre-Money Valuation of fifteen (15) times Audited Net Earnings of fiscal year 2019. In the event that the existing shareholders of the Company as of the Effective Date fail to transfer all or part of the Compensation Shares to the Investor as set out in this Section 2.1(ii) of this Exhibit C, the Founder shall transfer the shortfall of Compensation Shares to the Investor subject to Section 2.1 (iii) of this Exhibit C. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.1 (ii) of Exhibit C shall only apply to the exercise of Conversion Option prior to an IPO.

 

(iii)       notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall the total post-conversion shareholding percentage of the Conversion Shares exceed 3.75% of the Company’s pre-IPO total equity on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis; with respect to any conversion under this Agreement, if the Pre-Money Valuation as determined in Section 2.1(i) and (ii) above results in the total post-conversion shareholding percentage of Conversion Shares exceeding 3.75% of the Company’s pre-IPO total equity, the Investor shall choose, no later than five (5) Business Days following the Post-IPO Option Date, (i) to convert all (but not less than all) of its Series C Preferred Shares into 3.75% of Ordinary Shares of the Company on a pre-IPO fully-diluted and as-converted basis, or (ii) to request the Company to redeem all (but not less than all) of the Series C Preferred Shares, whether or not such Series C Preferred Shares have been converted into Conversion Shares, at the Optional Redemption Price, which the Company shall pay within seven (7) Business Days following the delivery of the relevant shares for redemption. For the avoidance of doubt, if both the circumstances as set out in this Section 2.1(iii) of Exhibit C and Section 3.2 of Exhibit C below occur (i.e. with respect to any conversion under this Agreement, the Pre-Money Valuation as determined in Section 2.1(i) and (ii) above results in the total post-conversion shareholding percentage of Conversion Shares exceeding 3.75% of the Company’s pre-IPO total equity; AND both of the Average Stock Price and

 

48


 

Consecutive Stock Price reach one hundred and thirty percent (130%) of the Series C Conversion Price then in effect and the total equity valuation of the Company is no less than US Dollar five hundred million (US$500,000,000.00) (on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis) on the Post-IPO Option Date), this Section 2.1(iii) of Exhibit C shall apply (i.e. the Investor may choose, no later than five (5) Business Days following the Post-IPO Option Date, (i) to convert all (but not less than all) of its Series C Preferred Shares into 3.75% of Ordinary Shares of the Company on a pre-IPO fully-diluted and as-converted basis, or (ii) to request the Company to redeem all (but not less than all) of the Series C Preferred Shares as set out in this Section 2.1(iii) of Exhibit C).

 

2.2.                            In the event the outstanding Ordinary Shares shall be subdivided (by share dividend, share split, or otherwise) into a greater number of the Ordinary Shares, the Series C Conversion Price then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately decreased.  In the event the outstanding Ordinary Shares shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of the Ordinary Shares, the Series C Conversion Price then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately increased.

 

2.3.                            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Ordinary Shares (including the Compensation Shares as abovementioned in Section 2.1 (ii) of this Exhibit C) which the holder of the Series C Preferred Shares is entitled to after the conversion of Series C Preferred Shares under this Agreement shall be designated, upon or after an IPO, as the same class of Ordinary Shares as that converted from the Series A Preferred Shares will be designated upon IPO; for the avoidance of doubt, the right to register the Conversion Shares pursuant to Section 7.6 hereof and Section 3.5 of the Exhibit C hereto is preserved after such designation.

 

2.4.                            Section 2 of this Exhibit C shall not terminate upon consummation of IPO.

3.1.                            Any Series C Preferred Shares holder shall have the following options (each such option, the “Conversion Option”) to convert its Series C Preferred Shares before the Mandatory Redemption Date and the exercise of a Redemption Option:

 

(i)                                     at any time prior to an IPO to convert all or part of its outstanding Series C Preferred Shares into such number of Conversion Shares at the Series C Conversion Price then in effect;

 

49


 

(ii)                                  at any time upon or after an IPO but prior to the Post-IPO Option Date (as defined below), to convert all or part of its outstanding Series C Preferred Shares into such number of Conversion Shares at the Series C Conversion Price then in effect; or

 

(iii)                               pursuant to Section 3.3 (i) of this Exhibit C, no later than five (5) Business Days following the Post-IPO Option Date, to convert all (but not less than all) of its outstanding Series C Preferred Shares into such number of Conversion Shares at the Series C Conversion Price then in effect;

 

provided that if the Company is not the legal entity which will be the listed entity in an IPO, the Series C Preferred Shares shall convert into shares of the proposed listed entity in the IPO, instead of Conversion Shares, on terms no less favourable than the conversion to Conversion Shares as contemplated herein and unless the Conversion Option is into shares in such listed entity on the terms as contemplated, the Company agrees not to proceed with the IPO.

 

3.2.                            If on the last day of the one hundred-eighty (180) day period commencing on the effective date of the registration statement relating to an IPO but prior to the Mandatory Redemption Date (if such day falls on the same day with the Mandatory Redemption Date, it shall be deemed to be prior to the Mandatory Redemption Date) (the “Post-IPO Option Date”), both of the Average Stock Price and Consecutive Stock Price reach one hundred and thirty percent (130%) of the Series C Conversion Price then in effect and the total equity valuation of the Company shall be no less than US Dollar five hundred million (US$500,000,000.00) (on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis), then all of the outstanding Series C Preferred Shares shall automatically be converted into such number of Conversion Shares at the Series C Conversion Price then in effect as calculated pursuant to Section 2.1 of this Exhibit C and such shares may not be reissued by the Company.

3.3.                            If on the Post-IPO Option Date, either the Average Stock Price or the Consecutive Stock Price does not reach one hundred and thirty percent (130%) of the Series C Conversion Price then in effect, or the total equity valuation of the Company is less than US Dollar

 

50


 

five hundred million (US$500,000,000.00) (on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis), then the Series C Preferred Holder shall, no later than five (5) Business Days following the Post-IPO Option Date either (i) request the Company to convert all (but not less than all) of its outstanding Series C Preferred Shares into such number of Conversion Shares at the Series C Conversion Price then in effect or (ii) request the Company to redeem all (but not less than all) of its outstanding Series C Preferred Shares in accordance with Section 7.1.1 of this Exhibit C.

 

3.4.                            If the Series C Preferred Holder does not exercise either option under above Section 3.3 of this Exhibit C, then all of the outstanding Series C Preferred Shares shall automatically be converted into such number of Conversion Shares at the Series C Conversion Price then in effect as calculated pursuant to Section 2.1 of this Exhibit C and such shares may not be reissued by the Company (together with the conversion pursuant to Section 3.2 of this Exhibit C, the “Mandatory Conversion”).

 

3.5.                            The Company covenants that the Investor has the right to cause the Company to use its best efforts to effect the registration of the Conversion Shares issued or issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Shares under the Securities Act, and after the Closing Date but prior to any public offering of the Company’s securities, the Company and the Investor shall enter into a registration rights agreement on customary terms and conditions, providing that, among other things, the Investor shall be entitled to normal registration rights, subject to customary underwriter cutbacks. The Company shall bear the costs and expenses of the Investor in connection with any public offering or registration (other than the underwriter’s commission), including the costs and expenses of counsel for the Investor.  A breach of Company’s covenant to enter into a registration rights agreement with the Investor prior to IPO under this clause shall entitle the Investor to exercise its Redemption Option (as defined below).

 

3.6.                            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, without prior written consent of the Company and the Founder, the Investor shall not at any time before the expiration of the one hundred-eighty (180) day period commencing on the effective date of the registration statement relating to an IPO, sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, pledge or otherwise encumber, or otherwise dispose of, any Conversion Shares issued or issuable upon any conversion of the Series C Preferred Shares.  The foregoing restrictions are intended and shall be construed so as to preclude the Investor from engaging in any hedging or other transaction that is designed to or reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in, a sale or disposition of any Conversion Shares during such period even if such Conversion Shares are or would be disposed of by someone other than the Investor or its affiliate.

4.2.                            Before any Series C Preferred Holder shall be entitled to convert the same into the Conversion Shares and to receive certificates therefor, such Series C Preferred Holder shall, with respect to an Conversion Option pursuant to Section 3.1 (i) and (ii) of this Exhibit C provide at least seven (7) Business Days prior written notice, with respect to an Conversion Option pursuant to Section 3.1 (iii) of this Exhibit C provide written notice to the Company no later than five (5) Business Days following the Post-IPO Option Date, to the Company or any transfer agent for the Series C Preferred Shares to be converted.

 

4.3.                            With respect to the Conversion Option and the Mandatory Conversion, before any Series C Preferred Holder shall be entitled to the Conversion Shares and to receive certificates therefor, if such holder’s shares are certificated, surrender the certificate or certificates therefor (or, if such registered holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Company to indemnify the Company against any claim that may be made against the Company on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate), at the principal office of the Company or of any transfer agent for the Series C Preferred Shares to be converted.  Such notice shall state such holder’s name or the names of the nominees in which such holder wishes the Conversion Shares to be issued.  If required by the Company, any certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company, duly executed by the registered holder or his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing.  The Company shall update the register of members and issue and deliver at such office to such Series C Preferred Holder a certificate or certificates for the number of the Conversion Shares to which such Series C Preferred Holder shall be entitled as aforesaid and a check payable to such Series C Preferred Holder in the amount of any cash amounts payable (if any) as the result of a conversion into fractional Conversion Shares.  Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the certificate or certificates representing the Series C Preferred Shares to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the Conversion Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Conversion Shares on such date.

5.2.                            Section 5 of this Exhibit C shall not terminate upon consummation of IPO.

 

6.                                      Mandatory Redemption

 

6.1.                            Unless prohibited or restricted by the Statute governing distributions to members, if until the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Mandatory Redemption Date”) any of the Series C Preferred Shares remain outstanding, the Company shall within seven (7) Business Days of Mandatory Redemption Date, redeem all of the Investor’s outstanding Series C Preferred Shares, at an aggregate redemption price (the “Mandatory Redemption Price”) that provides the Investor with the Internal Rate of Return on the original purchase price for the outstanding Series C Preferred Shares to be redeemed under this Section 6.1 for the period during which such outstanding Series C Preferred Shares remain outstanding (for the avoidance of any doubt, any dividend paid will be included in the calculation of the redemption price) (the “Mandatory Redemption”).

 

6.2.                            Section 6 of this Exhibit C shall not terminate upon consummation of IPO.

53


 

Sections 1.3 (ii) and/or 3.5 of this Exhibit C, or Section 3 of the Guarantee Deed, within seven (7) days after receipt of Company’s notice of relevant events, if pursuant to Section 3.3 (ii) of this Exhibit C no later than five (5) Business Days following the Post-IPO Option Date, deliver a written notice (“Redemption Request”) requesting the Company to redeem all (but not less than all) of its outstanding Series C Preferred Shares, at an aggregate redemption price (the “Optional Redemption Price”) that provides the Investor with the Internal Rate of Return on the original purchase price for the outstanding Series C Preferred Shares to be redeemed under this Section 7.1 for the period during which such outstanding Series C Preferred Shares remain outstanding (for the avoidance of any doubt, any dividend paid will be included in the calculation of the redemption price).  Upon receipt of a Redemption Request, the Company shall, subject to the Statute governing distributions to members, within seven (7) Business Days after receipt of such Redemption Request redeem all of its outstanding Series C Preferred Shares and make payment therefor.  The Investor’s right to so exercise the Redemption Option shall not terminate in the event of fraud or material mis-representation on the part of the Company and/or the Founder in connection with the Redemption Option.

 

7.1.2.                 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of the redemption pursuant to Section 7.1 of this Exhibit C, if upon receipt of the Redemption Request, the Statute governing distributions to members or any applicable laws prevent the Company from redeeming all of the Series C Preferred Shares within seven (7) Business Days after receipt of such Redemption Request, then the Company may at its sole discretion ratably redeem the maximum number of shares that it may redeem, to the extent consistent with the Statute, applicable laws, and shall redeem the remaining shares as soon as it may lawfully or commercially do so. Notwithstanding, to the extent that the Company is not able to lawfully redeem all or part of the Series C Preferred Shares, default interest shall accrue, without duplication, at ten percent (10)% per annum compounded monthly on all outstanding amounts due from the date of such payment originally becoming due and payable under the Redemption Request until payment in full.

9.4.                            In the event that the Company and/or Ordinary Shares Holders shall not have collectively elected to purchase all of the Offered Shares upon the expiration of the Second ROFR Period, then, provided the Transferor has also complied with the provisions of Section 9.1

2.2                               Right of Deferral.

 

(a)                                 The Company shall not be obligated to Register or qualify Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2:

 

(i)                                     if, within ten (10) days of the receipt of any request of the Holders to Register any Registrable Securities under Section 2.1, the Company gives notice to the Initiating Holders of its bona fide intention to effect the filing for its own account of a Registration Statement of Ordinary Shares within sixty (60) days of receipt of that request; provided, that the Company is actively employing in good faith its best efforts to cause that Registration Statement to become effective within sixty (60) days of receipt of that request; provided, further, that the Holders are entitled to join such Registration subject to Section 3 (other than a registration of securities in a transaction under Rule 145 of the Securities Act or with respect to an employee benefit plan;

 

(ii)                                  during the period starting with the date of filing by the Company of, and ending six (6) months following the effective date of any Registration Statement pertaining to Ordinary Shares of the Company; provided, that the Holders are entitled to join such Registration subject to Section 3 (other than a registration of securities in a transaction under Rule 145 of the Securities Act or with respect to an employee benefit plan); or

 


 

(iii)                               in any jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such Registration or qualification, unless the Company is already subject to service of process in such jurisdiction.

 

(b)                                 If, after receiving a request from Holders pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, the Company furnishes to the Holders a certificate signed by the chief executive officer of the Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be materially detrimental to the Company or its members for a Registration Statement to be filed in the near future, then the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period during which such filing would be materially detrimental, provided, that that the Company may not utilize this right and/or the deferral right contained in clause (ii) for more than ninety (90) days on any one occasion or for more than once during any twelve (12) month period; provided, further, that the Company may not Register any other of its securities during such period (except for Registrations contemplated by Section 3.4).

 

2.3                               Underwritten Offerings.  If, in connection with a request to Register the Registrable Securities under Section 2.1, the Initiating Holders seek to distribute such Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering, they shall so advise the Company as a part of the request, and the Company shall include such information in the written notice to the other Holders described in Section 2.1.  In such event, the right of any Holder to include its Registrable Securities in such Registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwritten offering and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwritten offering (unless otherwise mutually agreed by a majority-in-interest of the Initiating Holders and such Holder, taken together) to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwritten offering shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters of internationally recognized standing selected for such underwritten offering by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the holders of a majority of the voting power of all Registrable Securities proposed to be included in such Registration.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the managing underwriter advises the Company that marketing factors (including without limitation the aggregate number of securities requested to be Registered, the general condition of the market, and the status of the Persons proposing to sell securities pursuant to the Registration) require a limitation of the number of Registrable Securities to be underwritten in a Registration pursuant to Section 2.1, the underwriters may (i) in the event the offering is the Company’s initial public offering, exclude from the underwritten offering all of the Registrable Securities (so long as the only securities included in such offering are those sold for the account of the Company), or (ii) otherwise exclude up to seventy-five percent (75%) of the Registrable Securities requested to be Registered but only after first excluding all other equity securities from the Registration and underwritten offering and so long as the number of Registrable Securities to be included in the Registration is allocated among all Holders in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities requested by such Holders to be included.  Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwritten offering shall be withdrawn from the Registration. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to a Holder to the nearest one hundred (100) shares.

 


 

3.                                      Piggyback Registrations.

 

3.1                               Registration of the Company’s Securities.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement, if the Company proposes to Register for its own account any of its equity securities, or for the account of any holder (other than a Holder) of the equity securities any of such holder’s equity securities, in connection with the public offering of such securities (except as set forth in Section 3.4), the Company shall promptly give each Holder written notice of such Registration and, upon the written request of any Holder given within fifteen (15) days after delivery of such notice, the Company shall use its best efforts to include in such Registration any Registrable Securities thereby requested to be Registered by such Holder.  If a Holder decides not to include all or any of its Registrable Securities in such Registration by the Company, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent Registration Statement or Registration Statements as may be filed by the Company, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

3.2                               Right to Terminate Registration.  The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any Registration initiated by it under Section 3.1 prior to the effectiveness of such Registration, whether or not any Holder has elected to participate therein.  The expenses of such withdrawn Registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 4.3.

 

3.3                               Underwriting Requirements.

 

(a)                                 In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of the Company’s equity securities, the Company shall not be required to Register the Registrable Securities of a Holder under this Section 3 unless such Holder’s Registrable Securities are included in the underwritten offering and such Holder enters into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters of internationally recognized standing selected by the Company and setting forth such terms for the underwritten offering as have been agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters.  In the event the underwriters advise Holders seeking Registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 3 in writing that market factors (including the aggregate number of Registrable Securities requested to be Registered, the general condition of the market, and the status of the Persons proposing to sell securities pursuant to the Registration) require a limitation of the number of Registrable Securities to be underwritten, the underwriters may (i) in the event the offering is the Company’s IPO, exclude all of the Registrable Securities (so long as the only securities included in such offering are those sold for the account of the Company and no securities of other Selling shareholders are included), or (ii) otherwise exclude up to seventy-five percent (75%) of the Registrable Securities requested to be Registered but only after first excluding all other equity securities (except for securities sold for the account of the Company) from the Registration and underwriting and so long as the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration is allocated among all Holders in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities requested by such Holders to be included. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to a Holder to the nearest one hundred (100) shares.

 


 

(b)                                 If any Holder disapproves the terms of any underwriting, the Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriters delivered at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement.  Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from the underwritten offering shall be withdrawn from the Registration.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any Registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 2.1 if the Registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered (in which case all participating Holders shall bear such expenses pro rata based upon the number of Registrable Securities that were to be included in the withdrawn registration), unless such withdrawal is due to an action or inaction of the Company or an event outside of the reasonable control of such Holders.

 

3.4                               Exempt Transactions.  The Company shall have no obligation to Register any Registrable Securities under this Section 3 in connection with a Registration by the Company (i) relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in a Company share plan, or (ii) relating to a corporate reorganization or other transaction under Rule 145 of the Securities Act (or comparable provision under the laws of another jurisdiction, as applicable).

 

4.                                      Registration Procedures.

 

4.1                               Registration Procedures and Obligations.  Whenever required under this Agreement to effect the Registration of any Registrable Securities held by the Holders, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

(f)                                   Promptly notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under applicable securities laws of (a) the issuance of any stop order by the Commission, or (b) the happening of any event or the existence of any condition as a result of which any prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, or if in the opinion of counsel for the Company it is necessary to supplement or amend such prospectus to comply with applicable laws, and at the request of any such Holder promptly prepare and furnish to such Holder a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made or such prospectus, as supplemented or amended, shall comply with applicable laws;

 

(g)                                  Furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting Registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered for sale in connection with a Registration pursuant to this Agreement, (i) an opinion, dated the date of the sale, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of the Registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering; and (ii) a comfort letter dated the date of the sale, from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters;

 


 

(h)                                 Otherwise comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission to the extent applicable to the applicable registration statement and use its best efforts to make generally available to its security holders (or otherwise provide in accordance with Section 11(a) of the Securities Act) an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act, no later than forty-five (45) days after the end of a twelve (12) month period (or ninety (90) days, if such period is a fiscal year) beginning with the first month of the Company’s first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of such registration statement, which statement shall cover such twelve (12) month period, subject to any proper and necessary extensions;

 

(i)                                     Not, without the prior consent of the holders of at least a majority of voting power of the then outstanding Registrable Securities, make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act;

4.3                               Expenses of Registration.  All expenses, other than the underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement (which shall be borne by the Holders requesting Registration on a pro rata basis in proportion to their respective numbers of Registrable Securities sold in such Registration), incurred in connection with Registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to this Agreement, including (without limitation) all Registration, filing and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and reasonable fees and disbursement of one (1) counsel for all selling Holders, shall be borne by the Company.

(b)                                 The indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5.1 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises solely out of or is solely based upon a Violation that occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished in a certificate expressly for use in connection with such Registration by any such Holder, such Holder’s partners, officers, directors, and legal counsel, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) and each Person, if any, who controls (as defined in the Securities Act) such Holder or underwriter.  Further, the foregoing indemnity agreement with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Holder or other aforementioned person, or any person controlling such Holder, from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased shares in the offering, if a copy of the most current prospectus was not sent or given by or on behalf of such Holder or other aforementioned person to such person, if required by applicable laws to have been so delivered, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the shares to such person, and if the prospectus (as so amended or supplemented) would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, claim, damage or liability.

 


 

5.2                               Holder Indemnity.

 

(a)                                 To the maximum extent permitted by applicable laws, each selling Holder that has included Registrable Securities in a Registration will, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, legal counsel and accountants, any underwriter, any other Holder selling securities in connection with such Registration and each Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) the Company, such underwriter or other Holder, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject, under applicable securities laws, or any rule or regulation promulgated under applicable securities laws, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder in a certificate expressly for use in connection with such Registration; and each such Holder will reimburse any Person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.2, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action.  No Holder’s liability under this Section 5.2 shall exceed the net proceeds (less underwriting discounts and selling commissions) received by such Holder from the offering of securities made in connection with that Registration.

 

(b)                                 The indemnity contained in this Section 5.2 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

 

5.3                               Notice of Indemnification Claim.  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 5.1 or Section 5.2 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under Section 5.1 or Section 5.2, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying parties.  An indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the reasonably incurred fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party, to the extent so prejudiced, of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 5, but the omission to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 5.

 


 

5.4                               Contribution.  If any indemnification provided for in Section 5.1 or Section 5.2 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and of the indemnified party, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. No Holder’s liability under this Section 5.4, when combined with such Holder’s liability under Section 5.2, shall exceed the net proceeds (less underwriting discounts and selling commissions) received by such Holder from the offering of securities made in connection with that Registration.

 

5.5                               Underwriting Agreement.  To the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.

 

5.6                               Survival.  The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 5 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement under this Agreement.

 

6.                                      Additional Registration-Related Undertakings.

 

6.1                               Reports under the Exchange Act.  With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and any comparable provision of any applicable securities laws that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without Registration or pursuant to a Registration on Form F-3 or Form S-3 (or any comparable form in a jurisdiction other than the United States of America), the Company agrees to:

 

(a)                                 make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 (or comparable provision, if any, under applicable securities laws in any jurisdiction where the Company’s securities are listed), at all times following ninety (90) days after the effective date of the first Registration under the Securities Act filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public;

 


 

(b)                                 file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under all applicable securities laws; and

 

(c)                                  at any time following ninety (90) days after the effective date of the first Registration under the Securities Act filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public by the Company, promptly furnish to any Holder holding Registrable Securities, upon request (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of all applicable securities laws at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements or, at any time after so qualified, that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form F-3 or Form S-3 (or any form comparable thereto under applicable securities laws of any jurisdiction where the Company’s securities are listed), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents as filed by the Company with the Commission, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the Commission, that permits the selling of any such securities without Registration or pursuant to Form F-3 or Form S-3 (or any form comparable thereto under applicable securities laws of any jurisdiction where the Company’s securities are listed).

 

6.2                               Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights.  From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities held by all Holders, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any equity securities of the Company that would allow such holder or prospective holder (a) to include such equity securities in any Registration filed under Section 2 or Section 3, unless under the terms of such agreement such holder or prospective holder may include such equity securities in any such Registration only to the extent that the inclusion of such equity securities will not reduce the amount of the Registrable Securities of the Holders that are included, (b) to demand Registration of their equity securities, or (c) cause the Company to include such equity securities in any Registration filed under Section 2 or Section 3 hereof on a basis pari passu with or more favorable to such holder or prospective holder than is provided to the Holders of Registrable Securities.

 

6.3                               Market Stand-Off Agreement.  Each Holder agrees, if so required by the managing underwriter(s), that it will not during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the Company’s IPO and ending on the date specified by the Company and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of such final prospectus) (a) lend, offer, pledge, hypothecate, hedge, sell, make any short sale of, loan, 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 equity securities of the Company (other than those included in such offering) or (b) 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 equity securities of the Company, whether any such transaction described in clause (a) or (b) above is to be settled by delivery of equity securities of the Company or such other securities, in cash or otherwise; provided, that (a) all directors, officers and all other holders of at least one percent (1%) of the outstanding share capital of the Company must be bound by restrictions at least as restrictive as those applicable to any such holder pursuant to this Section 6.3, (b) this Section 6.3 shall not apply to the extent that any other members subject to substantially similar restrictions are released, and (c) the lockup agreements shall permit such holders to transfer their Registrable Securities to their respective Affiliates so long as the transferees enters into the same lockup agreement.  The underwriters in connection with the Company’s initial public offering are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.3 and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto.  In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may place restrictive legends on the certificates and impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities of each shareholder (and the shares or securities of every other person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period.

 


 

6.4                               Termination of Registration Rights.  The registration rights set forth in Section 2 and Section 3 above shall terminate on the earlier of (a) the date that is five (5) years from the date of closing of an IPO, (b) with respect to any Holder, the date on which such Holder may sell all of such Holder’s Registrable Securities under Rule 144 of the Securities Act in any ninety (90)-day period, and (c) the date of occurrence of a Liquidation Event, as such term is defined in the Company’s Restated Articles.

 

6.5                               Exercise of Series C Preferred Shares.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement, the Company shall have no obligation to register Registrable Securities which, if constituting Ordinary Share Equivalents, have not been exercised, converted or exchanged, as applicable, for Ordinary Shares.

 

7.                                      Jurisdiction.  The terms of this Agreement are drafted primarily in contemplation of an offering of securities in the United States of America.  The Parties recognize, however, the possibility that securities may be qualified or registered for offering to the public in a jurisdiction other than the United States of America where registration rights have significance or that the Company might effect an offering in the United States of America in the form of American depositary receipts or American depositary shares.  Accordingly:

 

(a)                                 It is their intention that, whenever this Agreement or any portion of the Agreement refers to a law, form, process or institution of the United States of America but the parties wish to effectuate qualification or registration in a different jurisdiction where registration rights have significance, such references to the laws or institutions of the United States of America shall be read as referring, mutatis mutandis, to the comparable laws or institutions of the jurisdiction in question; and

 

(b)                                 It is agreed that the Company will not undertake any listing of American depositary receipts, American depositary shares or any other security derivative of the Company’s Ordinary Shares unless arrangements have been made reasonably satisfactory to a majority-in-interest of the shareholders of the Company to ensure that the spirit and intent of the Agreement will be realized and that the Company is committed to take such actions as are necessary such that the shareholders of the Company will enjoy rights corresponding to the rights hereunder to sell their Registrable Securities in a public offering in the United States of America as if the Company had listed Ordinary Shares in lieu of such derivative securities.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not limit the amount of Registrable Securities the Holder requests to be registered pursuant to this Section 2.1.

 

2.2                                       Right of Deferral.

 

(a)                                         The Company shall not be obligated to Register or qualify Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.1:

 

(i)                                           if, within ten (10) days of the receipt of any request of the Holders to Register any Registrable Securities under Section 2.1, the Company gives notice to the Initiating Holders of its bona fide intention to effect the filing for its own account of a Registration Statement of Ordinary Shares within sixty (60) days of receipt of that request; provided, that the Company is actively employing in good faith its best efforts to cause that Registration Statement to become effective within sixty (60) days of receipt of that request; provided, further, that the Holders are entitled to join such Registration subject to Section 3 (other than a registration of securities in a transaction under Rule 145 of the Securities Act or with respect to an employee benefit plan);

 


 

(ii)                                        during the period starting with the date of filing by the Company of, and ending six (6) months following the effective date of any Registration Statement pertaining to Ordinary Shares of the Company; provided, that the Holders are entitled to join such Registration subject to Section 3 (other than a registration of securities in a transaction under Rule 145 of the Securities Act or with respect to an employee benefit plan); or

 

(iii)                                     in any jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such Registration or qualification, unless the Company is already subject to or agree to be subject to service of process in such jurisdiction, including New York, Hong Kong, London and Singapore.

 

(b)                                         If, after receiving a request from Holders pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, the Company furnishes to the Holders a certificate signed by the chief executive officer of the Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be materially detrimental to the Company or its members for a Registration Statement to be filed in the near future, then the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period during which such filing would be materially detrimental, provided, that that the Company may not utilize this right and/or the deferral right contained in clause (ii) for more than ninety (90) days on any one occasion or for more than once during any twelve (12) month period; provided, further, that the Company may not Register any other of its securities during such periods (except for Registrations contemplated by Section 3.4).

 

2.3                                       Underwritten Offerings.  If, in connection with a request to Register the Registrable Securities under Section 2.1, the Initiating Holders seek to distribute such Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering, they shall so advise the Company as a part of the request, and the Company shall include such information in the written notice to the other Holders described in Section 2.1.  In such event, the right of any Holder to include its Registrable Securities in such Registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwritten offering and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwritten offering (unless otherwise mutually agreed by a majority-in-interest of the Initiating Holders and such Holder, taken together) to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwritten offering shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters of internationally recognized standing selected for such underwritten offering by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the holders of a majority of the voting power of all Registrable Securities proposed to be included in such Registration. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the managing underwriter advises the Company that marketing factors (including without limitation the aggregate number of securities requested to be Registered, the general condition of the market, and the status of the Persons proposing to sell securities pursuant to the Registration) require a limitation of the number of Registrable Securities to be underwritten in a Registration pursuant to Section 2.1, the underwriters may (i) in the event the offering is the Company’s IPO, exclude from the underwritten offering all of the Registrable Securities (so long as the only securities included in such offering are those sold for the account of the Company), or (ii) otherwise exclude up to seventy-five percent (75%) of the Registrable Securities requested to be Registered but only after first excluding all the other equity securities from the Registration and underwritten offering and so long as the number of Registrable Securities to be included in the Registration is allocated among all Holders in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities requested by such Holders to be included.  Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwritten offering shall be withdrawn from the Registration. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to a Holder to the nearest one hundred (100) shares. For purposes of Section 2.1, a registration shall not be counted as “effected” if, as a result of an exercise of the underwriter’s cutback provisions in this Section 2.3(a), fewer than fifty percent (50%) of the total number of Registrable Securities that Holders have requested to be included in such registration statement are actually included.

 


 

3.                                      Piggyback Registrations.

 

3.1                                       Registration of the Company’s Securities.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement, if the Company proposes to Register for its own account any of its equity securities, or for the account of any holder (other than a Holder) of the equity securities any of such holder’s equity securities, in connection with the public offering of such securities (except as set forth in Section 3.4), the Company shall promptly give each Holder written notice of such Registration and, upon the written request of any Holder given within fifteen (15) days after delivery of such notice, the Company shall use its best efforts to include in such Registration any Registrable Securities thereby requested to be Registered by such Holder.  If a Holder decides not to include all or any of its Registrable Securities in such Registration by the Company, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent Registration Statement or Registration Statements as may be filed by the Company, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

3.2                                       Right to Terminate Registration.  The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any Registration initiated by it under Section 3.1 prior to the effectiveness of such Registration, whether or not any Holder has elected to participate therein.  The expenses of such withdrawn Registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 4.3.

 

3.3                                       Underwriting Requirements.

 

(a)                                         In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of the Company’s equity securities, the Company shall not be required to Register the Registrable Securities of a Holder under this Section 3 unless such Holder’s Registrable Securities are included in the underwritten offering and such Holder enters into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters of internationally recognized standing selected by the Company and setting forth such terms for the underwritten offering as have been agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters. In the event the underwriters advise Holders seeking Registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 3 in writing that market factors (including the aggregate number of Registrable Securities requested to be Registered, the general condition of the market, and the status of the Persons proposing to sell securities pursuant to the Registration) require a limitation of the number of Registrable Securities to be underwritten, the underwriters may (i) in the event the offering is the Company’s IPO, exclude all of the Registrable Securities (so long as the only securities included in such offering are those sold for the account of the Company and no securities of the other selling shareholders are included), or (ii) otherwise exclude up to seventy-five percent (75%) of the Registrable Securities requested to be Registered but only after first excluding all other equity securities (except for securities sold for the account of the Company) from the Registration and underwriting and so long as the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration is allocated among all Holders in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities requested by such Holders to be included. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to a Holder to the nearest one hundred (100) shares.

 


 

(b)                                         If any Holder disapproves the terms of any underwriting, the Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriters delivered at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement.  Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from the underwritten offering shall be withdrawn from the Registration.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any Registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 2.1 if the Registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered (in which case all participating Holders shall bear such expenses pro rata based upon the number of Registrable Securities that were to be included in the withdrawn registration), unless such withdrawal is due to an action or inaction of the Company or an event outside of the reasonable control of such Holders.

 

3.4                                       Exempt Transactions.  The Company shall have no obligation to Register any Registrable Securities under this Section 3 in connection with a Registration by the Company (i) relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in a Company share plan, or (ii) relating to a corporate reorganization or other transaction under Rule 145 of the Securities Act (or comparable provision under the laws of another jurisdiction, as applicable).

 

3.5                                       Demand Rights Distinct.  No registration of Registrable Securities effected under this Section 3 shall relive the Company of its obligation to effect any registration of Registrable Securities required of the Company pursuant to Section 2.

 


 

4.                                      Registration Procedures.

 

4.1                                       Registration Procedures and Obligations.  Whenever required under this Agreement to effect the Registration of any Registrable Securities held by the Holders, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

 

(a)                                         Prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement with respect to those Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause that Registration Statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities Registered thereunder, keep the Registration Statement effective for up to one hundred twenty (120) days or, if earlier, until the distribution thereunder has been completed; provided, however, that (a) such one hundred twenty (120) day period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period any Holder refrains from selling any Registrable Securities included in such Registration at the written request of the underwriter(s) for such Registration, and (b) in the case of any Registration of Registrable Securities on Form F-3 or Form S-3 that are intended to be offered on a continuous or delayed basis, subject to compliance with applicable rules promulgated by the Commission, such one hundred twenty (120) day period shall be extended, if necessary, to keep the Registration Statement or such comparable form, as the case may be, effective until all such Registrable Securities are sold;

 

(b)                                         Prepare and file with the Commission amendments and supplements to that Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with the Registration Statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of applicable securities laws with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by the Registration Statement;

 

(c)                                          Furnish to the Holders the number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, required by applicable securities laws, and any other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them;

 

(d)                                         Use its best efforts to Register and qualify the securities covered by the Registration Statement under the securities laws of any jurisdiction in which the Company has had an IPO, as reasonably requested by the Holders, provided, that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdictions;

 

(e)                                          In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in customary form, with the managing underwriter(s) of the offering.  The underwriting agreement shall be reasonably acceptable to the Holders participating in such underwriting.  Each Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such underwriting agreement;

 

(f)                                           Promptly notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under applicable securities laws of (a) the issuance of any stop order by the Commission, or (b) the happening of any event or the existence of any condition as a result of which any prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, or if in the opinion of counsel for the Company it is necessary to supplement or amend such prospectus to comply with applicable laws, and at the request of any such Holder promptly prepare and furnish to such Holder a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made or such prospectus, as supplemented or amended, shall comply with applicable laws;

 


 

(g)                                          Furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting Registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered for sale in connection with a Registration pursuant to this Agreement, (i) an opinion, dated the date of the sale, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of the Registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering; and (ii) a comfort letter dated the date of the sale, from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters;

 

(h)                                         Otherwise comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission to the extent applicable to the applicable registration statement and use its best efforts to make generally available to its security holders (or otherwise provide in accordance with Section 11(a) of the Securities Act) an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act, no later than forty-five (45) days after the end of a twelve (12) month period (or ninety (90) days, if such period is a fiscal year) beginning with the first month of the Company’s first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of such registration statement, which statement shall cover such twelve (12) month period, subject to any proper and necessary extensions;

 

(i)                                             Not, without the prior consent of the holders of at least a majority of voting power of the then outstanding Registrable Securities, make any offer relating to the Registrable Securities that would constitute a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act;

 

(j)                                            Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities Registered pursuant to the Registration Statement and, where applicable, a number assigned by the Committee on Uniform Securities Identification Procedures for all those Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of the Registration; and

 

(k)                                         Take all reasonable action necessary to list the Registrable Securities on the primary exchange on which the Company’s securities are then traded or, in connection with an IPO, the primary exchange on which the Company’s securities will be traded.

 


 

(l)                                             In addition, the Company shall ensure that, at all times after any registration statement covering a public offering of securities of the Company under the Securities Act shall have become effective, its insider trading policy shall provide that the Company’s directors may implement a trading program under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act.

 

(m)                                     The Company shall use its best efforts to register or qualify all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions (domestic or foreign) as the selling Holders or any underwriter of such Registrable securities shall request, use its best efforts to obtain all appropriate registrations, permits and consents required in connection therewith, and do any and all other acts and things which may be necessary or advisable to enable the selling holders or any such underwriter to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of such Registrable Securities;

 

4.2                                       Information from Holder.  It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the Registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities.

 

4.3                                       Expenses of Registration.  All expenses, other than the underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement (which shall be borne by the Holders requesting Registration on a pro rata basis in proportion to their respective numbers of Registrable Securities sold in such Registration), incurred in connection with Registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to this Agreement, including (without limitation) all Registration, filing and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and reasonable fees and disbursement of one (1) counsel for all selling Holders, shall be borne by the Company. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay for any expenses of any Registration proceeding begun pursuant to this Agreement if the Registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of a majority-in-interest of the Holders requesting such Registration (in which case all participating Holders shall bear such expenses pro rata based upon the number of Registrable Securities that were to be thereby Registered in the withdrawn Registration).

 

5.                                      Registration-Related Indemnification.

 

5.1                                       Company Indemnity.

 

(a)                                         To the maximum extent permitted by applicable laws, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, such Holder’s partners, officers, directors, shareholders and legal counsel, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) and each Person, if any, who controls (as defined in the Securities Act) such Holder or underwriter, against any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under laws which are applicable to the Company and relate to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any Registration, qualification, or compliance, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (each a “Violation”):  (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such Registration Statement, on the effective date thereof (including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto), (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement, on the effective date thereof (including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto), a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of applicable securities laws, or any rule or regulation promulgated under applicable securities laws.  The Company will reimburse each such Holder, underwriter or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities or action to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

 


 

(b)                                         The indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5.1 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities or action to the extent that it arises solely out of or is solely based upon a Violation that occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished in a certificate expressly for use in connection with such Registration by any such Holder, such Holder’s partners, officers, directors, and legal counsel, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) and each Person, if any, who controls (as defined in the Securities Act) such Holder or underwriter.  Further, the foregoing indemnity agreement with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Holder or other aforementioned person, or any person controlling such Holder, from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities purchased shares in the offering, if a copy of the most current prospectus was not sent or given by or on behalf of such Holder or other aforementioned person to such person because of the failure of the Holder or such other aforementioned person, if required by applicable laws to have been so delivered, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the shares to such person, and if the prospectus (as so amended or supplemented) would have cured the defect giving rise to such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities.

 

5.2                                       Holder Indemnity.

 

(a)                                         To the maximum extent permitted by applicable laws, each selling Holder that has included Registrable Securities in a Registration will, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, legal counsel and accountants, any underwriter, any other Holder selling securities in connection with such Registration and each Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) the Company, such underwriter or other Holder, against any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject, under applicable securities laws, or any rule or regulation promulgated under applicable securities laws, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder in a certificate expressly for use in connection with such Registration; and each such Holder will reimburse any Person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.2, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Person in connection with investigating or defending any such losses, claims, damages, expenses, liabilities or actions.  No Holder’s liability under this Section 5.2 shall exceed the net proceeds (less underwriting discounts and selling commissions) received by such Holder from the offering of securities made in connection with that Registration.

 


 

(b)                                         The indemnity contained in this Section 5.2 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such losses, claims, damages, expenses, liabilities or actions if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

 

5.3                                       Notice of Indemnification Claim.  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 5.1 or Section 5.2 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under Section 5.1 or Section 5.2, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying parties.  An indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the reasonably incurred fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party, to the extent so prejudiced, of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 5, but the omission to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 5.

 

5.4                                       Contribution.  If any indemnification provided for in Section 5.1 or Section 5.2 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities  in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and of the indemnified party, on the other, in connection with the statements, omissions or violations that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. No Holder’s liability under this Section 5.4, when combined with such Holder’s liability under Section 5.2, shall exceed the net proceeds (less underwriting discounts and selling commissions) received by such Holder from the offering of securities made in connection with that Registration.

 


 

5.5                                       Underwriting Agreement.  To the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.

 

5.6                                       Survival.  The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 5 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement under this Agreement.

 

6.                                      Additional Registration-Related Undertakings.

 

6.1                                       Reports under the Exchange Act.  With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and any comparable provision of any applicable securities laws that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without Registration or pursuant to a Registration on Form F-3 or Form S-3 (or any comparable form in a jurisdiction other than the United States of America), the Company agrees to:

 

(a)                                         make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 (or comparable provision, if any, under applicable securities laws in any jurisdiction where the Company’s securities are listed), at all times following ninety (90) days after the effective date of the first Registration under the Securities Act filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public;

 

(b)                                         file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under all applicable securities laws; and

 

(c)                                          at any time following ninety (90) days after the effective date of the first Registration under the Securities Act filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public by the Company, promptly furnish to any Holder holding Registrable Securities, upon request (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of all applicable securities laws at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements or, at any time after so qualified, that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form F-3 or Form S-3 (or any form comparable thereto under applicable securities laws of any jurisdiction where the Company’s securities are listed), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents as filed by the Company with the Commission, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the Commission, that permits the selling of any such securities without Registration or pursuant to Form F-3 or Form S-3 (or any form comparable thereto under applicable securities laws of any jurisdiction where the Company’s securities are listed), including causing its attorneys to issue and deliver any appropriate legal opinion required to permit a Holder to sell Registrable Shares under Rule 144 upon receipt of appropriate documentation relating to such sale.

 


 

6.2                                       Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights.  From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities held by all Holders, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any equity securities of the Company that would allow such holder or prospective holder (a) to include such equity securities in any Registration filed under Section 2 or Section 3, unless under the terms of such agreement such holder or prospective holder may include such equity securities in any such Registration only to the extent that the inclusion of such equity securities will not reduce the amount of the Registrable Securities of the Holders that are included, (b) to demand Registration of their equity securities, or (c) cause the Company to include such equity securities in any Registration filed under Section 2 or Section 3 hereof on a basis pari passu with or more favorable to such holder or prospective holder than is provided to the Holders of Registrable Securities.

 

6.3                                       Market Stand-Off Agreement.  Each Holder agrees, if so required by the managing underwriter(s), that it will not during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the Company’s IPO and ending on the date specified by the Company and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of such final prospectus) (a) lend, offer, pledge, hypothecate, hedge, sell, make any short sale of, loan, 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 equity securities (including preferred shares notwithstanding any accounting classification)  of the Company (other than those included in such offering) or (b) 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 equity securities (including preferred shares notwithstanding any accounting classification)  of the Company, whether any such transaction described in clause (a) or (b) above is to be settled by delivery of equity securities of the Company or such other securities, in cash or otherwise; provided, that (a) all directors, officers and all other holders of at least one percent (1%) of the outstanding share capital of the Company must be bound by restrictions at least as restrictive as those applicable to any such holder pursuant to this Section 6.3, (b) this Section 6.3 shall not apply to the extent that any other members subject to substantially similar restrictions are released, and (c) the lockup agreements shall permit such holders to transfer their Registrable Securities to their respective Affiliates so long as the transferees enters into the same lockup agreements.  The underwriters in connection with the Company’s initial public offering are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.3 and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto.  In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may place restrictive legends on the certificates and impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities of each shareholder (and the shares or securities of every other person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period.

 


 

6.4                                       Termination of Registration Rights.  The registration rights set forth in Section 2 and Section 3 above shall terminate on the earlier of (a) the date that is five (5) years from the date of closing of an IPO, (b) with respect to any Holder, the date on which such Holder may sell all of such Holder’s Registrable Securities under Rule 144 of the Securities Act in any ninety (90)-day period, and (c) the date of occurrence of a Liquidation Event.

 

6.5                                       Exercise of Series B Preferred Shares.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement, the Company shall have no obligation to register Registrable Securities which, if constituting Ordinary Share Equivalents, have not been exercised, converted or exchanged, as applicable, for Ordinary Shares.

 

6.6                                       Right to Conduct Activities The Company hereby agrees and acknowledges that the Investor (together with its Affiliates) is a professional investment organization, and as such reviews the business plans and related proprietary information of many enterprises, some of which may compete directly or indirectly with the Company’s business (as currently conducted or as currently propose to be conducted).  The Company hereby agrees that, to the extent permitted under applicable law, the Investor (and its Affiliates) shall not be liable to the Company for any claim arising out of, or based upon, (i) the investment by the Investor (or its Affiliates) in any entity competitive with the Company, or (ii) actions taken by any partner, officer, employee or other representative of the Investor  (or its Affiliates) to assist any such competitive company, whether or not such action was taken as a member of the board of directors of such competitive company or otherwise, and whether or not such action has a detrimental effect on the Company; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve (x) any of the Investors from liability associated with the unauthorized disclosure of the Company’s confidential information obtained pursuant to this Agreement, or (y) any director or officer of the Company from any liability associated with his or her fiduciary duties to the Company.

 

7.                                      Jurisdiction.  The terms of this Agreement are drafted primarily in contemplation of an offering of securities in the United States of America.  The Parties recognize, however, the possibility that securities may be qualified or registered for offering to the public in a jurisdiction other than the United States of America where registration rights have significance or that the Company might effect an offering in the United States of America in the form of American depositary receipts or American depositary shares.  Accordingly:

 

(a)                                         It is their intention that, whenever this Agreement or any portion of the Agreement refers to a law, form, process or institution of the United States of America but the parties wish to effectuate qualification or registration in a different jurisdiction where registration rights have significance, such references to the laws or institutions of the United States of America shall be read as referring, mutatis mutandis, to the comparable laws or institutions of the jurisdiction in question; and

 


 

(b)                                         It is agreed that the Company will not undertake any listing of American depositary receipts, American depositary shares or any other security derivative of the Company’s Ordinary Shares unless arrangements have been made reasonably satisfactory to a majority-in-interest of the shareholders of the Company to ensure that the spirit and intent of the Agreement will be realized and that the Company is committed to take such actions as are necessary such that the shareholders of the Company will enjoy rights corresponding to the rights hereunder to sell their Registrable Securities in a public offering in the United States of America as if the Company had listed Ordinary Shares in lieu of such derivative securities.
