This Schedule 13D is being filed because, under the facts and circumstances described in Items 2, 4 and 5, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be a group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act. This filing is not being made as a result of any particular acquisitions or dispositions of Shares by the Reporting Persons.
The descriptions of the principal terms of the Proposal (as defined below) under Item 4 are incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

This statement relates to the potential acquisition of additional Shares by the Reporting Persons. On November 25, 2020, the Reporting Individuals submitted a non-binding proposal letter (the “Proposal”) to the Board related to the proposed acquisition of all of the Shares not beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons on the terms and conditions set forth in the Proposal (the “Proposed Acquisition”).

The Proposal provides that no binding obligation on the part of the Issuer or the Reporting Individuals shall arise with respect to the Proposed Acquisition unless and until definitive agreements have been executed.
If the Proposed Acquisition is consummated as proposed, the Issuer’s ADSs will be delisted from the NASDAQ Stock Market and deregistered under Section 12 of the Act.
References to the Proposal in this statement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Proposal itself, which is attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated by reference as if set forth in its entirety.

The Board of Directors
Ruhnn Holding Limited
11F, Building 2, Lvgu Chuangzhi Development Center
788 Hong Pu Road
Jianggan District, Hangzhou 310016
People’s Republic of China
Dear Directors:
We, Messrs. Min Feng, Lei Sun and Chao Shen, are pleased to submit this preliminary non-binding proposal (this “Proposal”) to acquire all outstanding Class A ordinary shares (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), including Class A Ordinary Shares represented by American depository shares (the “ADSs”, each representing five Class A Ordinary Shares), and Class B ordinary shares (together with the Class A Ordinary Shares, the “Shares”) of Ruhnn Holding Limited (the “Company”) that are not already beneficially owned by any of us or any of our respective affiliates in a going private transaction (the “Transaction”).
Our proposed purchase price is US$0.68 per Share (or US$3.4 per ADS) in cash. We believe that our proposal provides an attractive opportunity for the Company’s shareholders. Our proposed purchase price represents a premium of approximately 10.4% to the closing trading price of the ADSs on November 24, 2020, the last trading day prior to the date hereof and a premium of 27.2% to the volume-weighted average price during the last 60 trading days.
We currently beneficially own approximately 42.7% of the total issued and outstanding Shares and 87.8% of the total voting power of the Company, based on the Company’s latest outstanding number of Shares as publicly disclosed. We are confident in our ability to consummate the Transaction as outlined in this Proposal.
The principal terms and conditions upon which we are prepared to pursue the Transaction are set forth below.
1. |
Purchase Price. We propose to acquire all of the outstanding Shares (including Class A Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs), other than those beneficially owned by any of us or any of our respective affiliates, at a purchase price equal to US$0.68 per Share (or US$3.4 per ADS) in cash. |
2. |
Financing. We intend to finance the Transaction with our cash on hand and third party equity and/or debt financing (if required). We are confident that we can timely secure adequate financing to consummate the Transaction, if such financing is required. |
3. |
Due Diligence. Parties providing financing (if any) may require a timely opportunity to conduct customary due diligence on the Company. We have engaged King & Wood Mallesons LLP as our legal counsel. We would like to ask the Board to accommodate such due diligence request and approve the provision of confidential information relating to the Company and its business to possible sources of financing subject to a customary form of confidentiality agreement. |
4. |
Definitive Documentation. We are prepared to promptly negotiate and finalize the definitive agreements (the “Definitive Agreements”) providing for the Transaction. We expect that such Definitive Agreements with respect to the Transaction will contain representations, warranties, covenants and conditions which are typical, customary and appropriate for transactions of this type. |
5. |
Process. We believe that the Transaction will provide superior value to the Company’s shareholders. In considering this proposal, you should be aware that we are interested only in pursuing the Transaction and we do not intend to sell our stake in the Company to any third party. |
6. |
Confidentiality. We will, as required by law, promptly file a Schedule 13D with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to disclose this Proposal. However, we trust you will agree with us that it is in our mutual interests to ensure that we proceed in a confidential manner, unless otherwise required by law, until we have executed Definitive Agreements. |
7. |
No Binding Commitment. This proposal is not a binding offer, agreement or an agreement to make a binding offer. This letter is our preliminary indication of interest and does not contain all matters upon which agreement must be reached in order to consummate the proposed Transaction, nor does it create any binding rights or obligations in favor of any person. A binding commitment will result only from the execution of Definitive Agreements, and then will be on the terms and conditions provided in such documentation. |

In closing, we would like to express our commitment to working together to bring this proposed Transaction to a successful and timely conclusion. Should you have any questions regarding this proposal, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to hearing from you.
