(1)         As of December 31, 2020, Guosheng HK held 12,670,000 of the Issuer’s Class A ordinary shares and had voting power over 4,125,698 of the Issuer’s Class B ordinary shares held by Qufenqi Holding Limited (“Qufenqi”), pursuant to a proxy and power of attorney granted by Qufenqi to Guosheng HK. As a result, Guosheng HK beneficially owned 16,795,698 of the Issuer’s ordinary shares. Guosheng HK is a subsidiary of Guosheng, which in turn is controlled by Mr. Li Du. Accordingly, each of Mr. Li Du and Guosheng may thereby be deemed to beneficially own 16,795,698 ordinary shares.

 

(2)         Mr. Li Du’s beneficial ownership represents 8.9% of total Class A ordinary shares (or 6.6% of the total ordinary shares assuming conversion of all outstanding Class B ordinary shares into the same number of Class A ordinary shares). The holdings of Guosheng HK, beneficially owned by Guosheng, represent 8.9% of total Class A ordinary shares (or 6.6% of the total ordinary shares assuming conversion of all outstanding Class B ordinary shares into the same number of Class A ordinary shares). Calculation is based on a total of 189,514,026 Class A ordinary shares and 63,491,172 Class B ordinary shares of the Issuer issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2020, based on information provided by the Issuer. Beneficial ownership information is presented as of December 31, 2020.

 

(3)         Includes 12,670,000 of the Issuer’s Class A ordinary shares held by Guosheng HK and 4,125,698 of the Issuer’s Class B ordinary shares held by Qufenqi, over which Guosheng HK has voting power pursuant to a proxy and power of attorney granted by Qufenqi to Guosheng HK.

 

 

 

Item 5.

Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 6.

Ownership of More than Five Percent on Behalf of Another Person.

 

Qufenqi has granted voting power over 4,125,698 of the Issuer’s Class B ordinary shares to Guosheng HK, while retaining its economic rights over such 4,125,698 Class B ordinary shares. Therefore, Qufenqi has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, 4,125,698 Class B ordinary shares.
