request of the Purchaser in connection with its tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase all of the issued and outstanding class A ordinary shares of the Issuer (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), including all Class A
Ordinary Shares represented by American depositary shares of the Issuer (“ADSs”).
Pursuant to Rule 13d-5(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”), the Reporting Persons may, by reason of the entry into the Standstill Agreement, be deemed collectively to beneficially own the

under the Act) with the other Associates and the Purchaser, and this Schedule 13D should not be construed as acknowledging that any of the Reporting Persons beneficially owns any Class A Ordinary Shares directly or indirectly held by the other
