This registration statement on Form S-8 (this “Registration Statement”) registers Class
A ordinary share, par value of US$0.0001 per share, of Ucommune International Ltd (the “Registrant”) (the “Class
A Ordinary Shares”) issuable pursuant to the Registrant’s 2020 Share Incentive Plan (the “Share Incentive Plan”).
In accordance with Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), this Registration
Statement also covers an indeterminate number of additional securities which may be offered and issued under the Share Incentive
Plan to prevent dilution from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions as provided in the Share Incentive Plan.
|
|
(2)
|
The amount to be registered represents the Class A Ordinary Share issuable upon exercise of outstanding
options granted under the Share Incentive Plan. Pursuant to Rule 457(h), the corresponding proposed maximum offering price per
share represents the exercise price of these options.
|
|
(3)
|
The amount to be registered represents the Class A Ordinary Shares available for future issuance
under the Share Incentive Plan. The corresponding proposed maximum offering price per share, which is estimated solely for the
purposes of calculating the registration fee under Rule 457(h) and Rule 457(c) under the Securities Act, is based on the average
of the high and low prices for the Registrant’s ADSs as quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market on March 5, 2021, which is within
five (5) business days prior to the date of this Registration Statement.
|
|
(4)
|
Any Class A Ordinary Shares covered by an award granted under the Share Incentive Plan (or portion
of an award) that expires, for any reason, is cancelled or terminated without having been exercise or settled or that is forfeited
or repurchased and held as treasury shares shall be deemed not to have been issued for purposes of determining the maximum aggregate
number of Class A Ordinary Shares which may be issued under the Share Incentive Plan.

Part II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents
by Reference.
The following documents filed by the Registrant
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) are incorporated by reference herein:
|
(a)
|
The Registrant’s prospectus dated January 8, 2021 (File No. 333-252271) filed with the Commission on February 1, 2021
pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) under the Securities Act; and
|
|
(b)
|
The description of the Registrant’s Class A Ordinary Shares and Warrants to purchase Class A Ordinary Shares contained
in its Registration Statement on Form 8-A (File No. 001-39738) filed with the Commission on January 5, 2021, including any amendment
and report filed for the purpose of updating that description.
|
All documents filed by the Registrant pursuant
to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), subsequent
to the effective date of this Registration Statement, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement
indicating that all securities offered hereby have been sold or deregistering all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed
to be incorporated by reference herein and to be part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.
Any statement contained herein or in any
document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes
of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which
also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified
or superseded shall not be deemed to constitute a part of this Registration Statement, except as so modified or superseded.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts
and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors
and Officers.
Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent
to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except
to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification
against civil fraud or the consequences for committing a crime. The Registrant’s amended and restated memorandum and articles
of association provide that each officer or director of the Registrant (but not auditors) shall be indemnified against all actions,
proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities incurred or sustained by such director or officer, other
than by reason of such person’s own dishonesty or fraud, in or about the conduct of the Registrant’s business or affairs
(including as a result of any mistake of judgment) or in the execution or discharge of his or her duties, powers, authorities or
discretions, including without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, any costs, expenses, losses or liabilities incurred
by such director or officer in defending (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil proceedings concerning the Registrant or
its affairs in any court whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere.
Pursuant to the indemnification agreements,
the form of which is filed as Exhibit 10.4 to the Registrant’s amendment no. 1 to registration statement on Form F-1 (File
No. 333-252271), the Registrant has agreed to indemnify its directors and officers against certain liabilities and expenses that
they incur in connection with claims made by reason of their being such a director or officer of the Registrant.
The underwriting agreement, the form of
which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to the Registrant’s registration statement on Form F-1, as amended (File No. 333-252271), also
provides for indemnification of the Registrant and its officers and directors.
The Registrant currently carries liability
insurance for its directors and executive officers.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities
arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration
Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
See Exhibit Index beginning on page 4 of
this Registration Statement.
Item 9. Undertakings.
|
(a)
|
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
|
|
(1)
|
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
|
|
(i)
|
to include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
|
|
(ii)
|
to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most
recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information
set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered
(if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or
high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant
to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.
|
|
(iii)
|
to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement
or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
|
provided, however, that
paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if registration statement is on Form S-8, and the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the Registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated
by reference in the registration statement; and
|
(2)
|
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall
be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
|
|
(3)
|
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold
at the termination of the offering.
|
|
(b)
|
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.
|
|
(c)
|
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers
and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that
in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense
of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
