The Primary Conversion is conditional upon and subject to, among other things, the Company’s compliance with the Hong Kong Listing Rules and the Company’s obtaining of necessary regulatory approvals from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Upon completion of the Primary Conversion, the Company will become a dual-primary listed company on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) in the United States. The Company's American Depositary Shares (“ADS(s)”) listed on the Nasdaq and the ordinary shares listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange are fungible, and investors can continue to choose to hold their shares in the form of ADSs traded on the Nasdaq or ordinary shares traded on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
