As of December 31, 2018, 39,820,586 class B ordinary shares were held by Aerovane Company Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Aerovane Company Limited is wholly owned by Mr. Henry Zhiheng Zhou and Ms. Risa Ruoshan Zhou. Mr. Henry Zhiheng Zhou and Ms. Risa Ruoshan Zhou are children of Mr. Hongyi Zhou. Because of the immediate family relationship and a letter agreement between Mr. Henry Zhiheng Zhou, Ms. Risa Ruoshan Zhou and Mr. Hongyi Zhou, Mr. Hongyi Zhou is entitled to direct the voting and disposition together with his children relating to the 39,820,586 class B ordinary shares held by Aerovane Company Limited, and therefore may be deemed to beneficially own these shares according to Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

As of December 31, 2018, , Mr. Hongyi Zhou’s spouse, held 1,212,000 class A ordinary shares in the form of ADSs. In addition, as of December 31, 2018, an entity controlled by Mr. Hongyi Zhou had economic interests (but without voting power or the power to direct the disposition ) in 434,344 class A ordinary shares in the form of ADSs through a financial arrangement. Although Mr. Hongyi Zhou may be deemed to have shared investment power with respect to these 1,646,344 class A ordinary shares under Rule 13d-3(a), Mr. Zhou disclaims the beneficial ownership to these ADSs except to the extent his pecuniary interests therein.

 

The percentage of class of securities beneficially owned by each Reporting Person is based on a total of 287,652,707 ordinary shares (being the sum of 247,832,121 class A ordinary shares and 39,820,586 class B ordinary shares) of the Issuer outstanding as of December 31, 2018.  Each holder of class A ordinary shares is entitled to one vote per share and each holder of class B ordinary shares is entitled to twenty votes per share on all matters submitted to them for vote. Class B ordinary shares are convertible at any time by the holder thereof into class A ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis. Class A ordinary shares are not convertible into class B ordinary shares under any circumstances.
