Insights

TL;DR: A single principal and an affiliated entity together report roughly 10% ownership, signaling concentration of voting and economic interest.

The Schedule 13G reveals that Dengfeng Yin and an affiliated vehicle control material stakes in Class A shares: Dengfeng Yin reports beneficial ownership of 12,073,757 shares (10.0% including near-term exercisable options) while TeaTide Limited holds 11,522,236 shares (9.6%). For investors, concentrated ownership at this scale is material because it can influence corporate votes and strategic decisions. The filing also documents that TeaTide has irrevocable proxy arrangements in favor of Junjie Zhang, clarifying who currently exercises voting authority over those shares. The described ownership chain (operating companies, holding companies, and a family trust with a professional trustee) explains how economic and voting rights are allocated among related parties.

TL;DR: Ownership structure shows coordinated control via trust and proxy, creating a clear governance influence without indicated change in control intent.

The disclosure details a layered control structure: TeaTide Limited is controlled through Starry Ocean entities and ultimately by a family trust benefiting Dengfeng Yin and relatives, with Trident Trust Company (Cayman) Limited as trustee. Notably, TeaTide granted irrevocable proxy and power of attorney to Junjie Zhang, centralizing voting execution. Inclusion of options exercisable within 60 days in the beneficial ownership calculation is appropriate and increases Dengfeng Yin's reported stake. The filing contains no statements of intent to change corporate governance or transact in shares, so the filing serves primarily as a transparency disclosure regarding influence and voting arrangements.
