On June 2, 2025, Mr. Jiayuan Lin and Traveler Enterprise Limited entered into a securities purchase agreement (the "Agreement") with Enduring Wealth Capital Limited, a company established in the British Virgin Islands ("EWCL"), among others. On July 23, 2025, pursuant to the Agreement, Traveler Enterprise Limited sold an aggregate of 5,000,000 Class B ordinary shares of the Issuer to EWCL for a total purchase price of US$35 million (of which US$7.5 million will be payable only upon the satisfaction of certain conditions) (the "Resale Transaction"). Pursuant to the Agreement, Mr. Xiaojun Zhang, another shareholder of the Issuer, and his holding company also sold an aggregate of 5,000,000 Class B ordinary shares of the Issuer to EWCL for a total purchase price of US$35 million (of which US$7.5 million will be payable only upon the satisfaction of certain conditions). The Issuer is also a party to the Agreement and agreed to undertake certain corporate actions in connection with the Resale Transaction.
Pursuant to the Agreement, in connection with the Resale Transaction, the Issuer has taken necessary corporate actions to ensure that the shares of the Issuer acquired by EWCL from Traveler Enterprise Limited continue to be Class B ordinary shares which are entitled to 20 votes per share, and Mr. Jiayuan Lin voluntarily converted all of the remaining Class B ordinary shares held by the Reporting Persons into Class A ordinary shares of the Issuer with one vote per share. Following the foregoing transactions, Mr. Jiayuan Lin and Mr. Xiaojun Zhang ceased to collectively hold more than 50% of the total voting power of the outstanding shares of the Issuer. In addition, the board and management team of the Issuer have restructured in such manner as requested by EWCL upon and effective immediately after closing of the Resale Transaction on July 23, 2025.
The Issuer's execution of the Agreement was approved by the Issuer's audit committee and board. As contemplated by the Agreement, on July 17, 2025, the Issuer also obtained shareholders' approval of the corporate actions that the Issuer needed to take to ensure that the shares acquired by EWCL from Traveler Enterprise Limited continue to be Class B ordinary shares with 20 votes per share and to perform the Issuer's other obligations under the Agreement, among others.
The securities reported herein are held for investment purposes and the Reporting Persons intend to review their investment on a continuing basis. Although no Reporting Person currently has any specific plan or proposal to acquire or dispose of ordinary shares of the Issuer or any securities exercisable for or convertible into ordinary shares of the Issuer, depending on overall market conditions, performance and prospects of the Issuer, subsequent developments affecting the Issuer, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons and other investment considerations, the Reporting Persons may hold, vote, acquire or dispose of or otherwise deal with securities of the Issuer. Any of the foregoing actions may be effected at any time or from time to time, subject to applicable law.
Each Reporting Person, in its capacity as a shareholder or other security holder of the Issuer, may engage in communications with one or more other shareholders or other security holders of the Issuer, one or more officers of the Issuer and/or one or more members of the board of directors of the Issuer and/or one or more representatives of the Issuer regarding the Issuer, including but not limited to its operations. Each of the Reporting Persons, in its capacity as a shareholder or other security holder of the Issuer, may discuss ideas that, if effected, may relate to or result in any of the matters listed in Items 4(a)-(j) of Schedule 13D.

As a result of these activities, one or more of the Reporting Persons may suggest or take a position with respect to potential changes in the operations, management, or capital structure of the Issuer. Such suggestions or positions may include one or more plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions described in Items 4(a) through (j) of Schedule 13D. |
