Pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(1), all Class B ordinary shares (which are convertible into Class A ordinary shares) were deemed to be converted for the purpose of (i) determining the aggregate amount of Class A ordinary shares beneficially owned by the reporting person and (ii) calculating the percentages of the Class A ordinary shares beneficially owned by the reporting person. The percentage of the class of securities beneficially owned by each reporting person is calculated based on a total of 337,395,390 issued and outstanding ordinary shares (consisting of 288,434,474 Class A ordinary shares and 48,960,916 Class B ordinary shares) of the Company as of December 31, 2022 as a single class. In computing the percentage ownership of the reporting persons, we have included, where applicable, shares that the reporting persons have the right to acquire within 60 days, including through the exercise of any option, warrant, or other right or the conversion of any other security, after December 31, 2022.

 

As of December 31, 2022, Baidu (Hong Kong) Limited, a company incorporated in Hong Kong, directly held 22,367,946 Class A ordinary shares of the Company. Baidu (Hong Kong) Limited is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Baidu Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands company, which is wholly owned by Baidu, Inc., a Cayman Islands company listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market.

 

For each reporting person, percentage of aggregate voting power is calculated by dividing the voting power beneficially owned by such reporting person by the voting power of all of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares as a single class. Each Class B ordinary share is entitled to ten votes per share, whereas each Class A ordinary share is entitled to one vote per share.
