The responses of the Reporting Persons to Rows (7) through (13) of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D are hereby incorporated by reference in this Item 5.

 

Mr. Zhous beneficial ownership in the Issuer equaled 48,752,321 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 24.6% of the total issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares. 48,752,321 Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by Mr. Zhou comprise (i) 75,000 Ordinary Shares issuable to Mr. Zhou upon exercise of options or vesting of restricted shares within 60 days after December 21, 2017, and (ii) 48,677,321 Ordinary Shares held by E-House (China) Holdings Limited, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of E-House Holdings.

 

As of December 21, 2017, Mr. Zhou held 90.5% of the shares of E-House Holdings and is a director of E-House Holdings. Pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Act and the rules promulgated thereunder, Mr. Zhou may be deemed to beneficially own all of the Ordinary Shares of the Issuer indirectly held by E-House Holdings through its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The information with respect to Ordinary Shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by each director and officer of E-House Holdings is set forth on Schedule A-2 hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Mr. Zhou disclaims beneficial ownership of the Ordinary Shares owned by E-House Holdings except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.

 

The percentage of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by each Reporting Person is based on 198,143,753 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding as of December 21, 2017, together with any Ordinary Shares issuable to such Reporting Person upon exercise of options or vesting of restricted shares within 60 days after December 21, 2017.

Through a series of intra-group transfer and restructuring after February 27, 2017, Ordinary Shares held by Turbo Chance Limited, Wayford Enterprises Limited and E-House (China) Capital Investment Management Ltd. were transferred to High-Gold Worldwide Limited, which is wholly owned by Mr. Zhou, and E-House (China) Holdings Limited, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of E-House Holdings. As of December 21, 2017, High-Gold Worldwide Limited and E-House (China) Holdings Limited directly held 19,853,538 and 48,677,321 Ordinary Shares, respectively.

 

On December 21, 2017, Wayford Enterprises Limited, a wholly-owned entity of Mr. Zhou and the sole shareholder of High-Gold Worldwide Limited, entered into a share transfer agreement with a wholly-owned entity of Mr. Jianda Ni, the chief executive officer and chairman of the board of the Issuer, pursuant to which Wayford Enterprises Limited will transfer 100% of the issued and outstanding shares in High-Gold Worldwide Limited to Mr. Ni at an aggregate price of US$56,847,297. As a result, the beneficial ownership of the entire 19,853,538 Ordinary Shares held by High-Gold Worldwide Limited will be transferred to Mr. Ni at the closing of the foregoing share transfer.
