On September 6, 2019, Baring (4) and Campus entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the SPA) with Oriental Eminent Ventures Limited and Infinite Victory Ventures Limited (together, the Purchasers), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions of the SPA, Baring (4) has agreed to sell 2,882,295 Class A Shares (including such shares in the form of ADSs) to the Purchasers and Campus agreed to sell 398,152 Class A Shares (including such shares in the form of ADSs) to the Purchasers, for an aggregate purchase price of $3,500,000.00 (the Purchase Price), subject to the terms of the SPA. The SPA provides that ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price be paid on the date of the execution of the SPA and twenty percent (20%) of the Purchase Price be paid ninety (90) calendar days after the date of the execution of the SPA (the Second Payment Date).

 

Provided that the Purchasers have complied with the terms of the SPA, on the Second Payment Date, 288,228 Class A Shares (including such shares in the form of ADSs) held by Baring (4) and 39,816 Class A Shares (including such shares in the form of ADSs) held by Campus will be transferred to the Purchasers.
