Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

The information set forth and/or incorporated by reference in Items 3, 4 and 5 is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 6.

Under the Irrevocable Proxy, Tencent has granted Mr. Li an irrevocable proxy with respect to its Class B Ordinary Shares for any matters concerning the size and/or composition of the Issuer’s board that require a shareholder vote, including, any resolution to approve, authorize or confirm any increase or decrease in the number of or any minimum or maximum number of directors of the Issuer’s board, any appointment or election of any new director or directors of the Issuer, and any removal or replacement of any existing director or directors of the Issuer (“Board Proxy”). Mr. Li has agreed to vote all of such Class B Ordinary Shares at the direction of Tencent for the election, removal and replacement of one member of the Issuer’s board, provided the nominee for such board seat is qualified and permitted to serve on the Issuer’s board under applicable law and stock exchange rules (“Tencent Director Matters”).

Under the Irrevocable Proxy, for all other matters that require shareholder vote, Tencent has granted Mr. Li an irrevocable proxy with respect to a certain number of the Class B Ordinary Shares held by Tencent such that Tencent’s total voting power in the Issuer does not exceed 29% of the total voting power of all outstanding Shares immediately after the initial public offering of the Issuer, excluding Shares issued pursuant to (i) the conversion of any outstanding convertible promissory notes of the Issuer held by Tencent, and (ii) the exercise of any over-allotment options by the underwriters in the initial public offering of the Issuer (“General Proxy”).

In addition, upon any sale, transfer, assignment or disposition of ownership in any Class B Ordinary Shares by a holder to any person or entity which is not a permitted transferee under the Irrevocable Proxy, such Class B Ordinary Shares will automatically convert into an equal number of Class A Ordinary Shares. Permitted transferees of Mr. Li include certain of his relatives so long as Mr. Li keeps voting rights over the Class B Ordinary Shares held by such transferees, and for Tencent include certain of its affiliates.

 

6


Upon termination of the Irrevocable Proxy, all issued and outstanding Class B Ordinary Shares will automatically convert into an equal number of Class A Ordinary Shares (subject to the exception described below). The Irrevocable Proxy will terminate upon the earliest of: (i) the tenth anniversary of the completion of the initial public offering of the Issuer, which can be extended if the parties to the Irrevocable Proxy agree; (ii) Mr. Li voluntarily ceasing to be the Issuer’s group chief executive officer; (iii) the death or permanent incapacity of Mr. Li; (iv) Mr. Li failing to spend at least half of all work days, excluding certain leaves, in any given calendar year on the Issuer’s business, the end of such calendar year; (v) Mr. Li voting the Shares subject to the Board Proxy on any Tencent Director Matter contrary to the written direction of Tencent; or (vi) the mutual agreement of the parties to the Irrevocable Proxy. However, if upon the tenth anniversary of the completion of the initial public offering of the Issuer, the number of issued and outstanding Class B Ordinary Shares held by Tencent is less than 50% of the total number of issued and outstanding Class B Ordinary Shares held by it immediately after the completion of the initial public offering of the Issuer, all of the Class B Ordinary Shares then held by Tencent will automatically convert into an equal number of Class A Ordinary Shares, and all of the Class B Ordinary Shares held by Mr. Li and his permitted transferees will not convert into Class A Ordinary Shares until the earliest of an additional ten years or any of the events described in (ii), (iii) and (iv) above.

Under an investors’ rights agreement entered into by and among the Issuer and certain of its investors and shareholders as of April 8, 2017, the Issuer has granted certain registration rights to holders of certain of its securities, which include Shares held directly or indirectly by Mr. Li.
