In connection with this exercise, the Company issued 360,534,431 restricted Class A ordinary shares and did not receive any cash proceeds.

After giving effect to the warrant exercise, the Company has 608,527,305 Class A ordinary shares and 10,000,000 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding.
Positive
- 428,862,444 placement warrants fully exercised and canceled, removing a large derivative overhang and simplifying the Company’s capital structure.
- The cashless exercise created 360,534,431 restricted Class A shares subject to a six-month lock-up, delaying potential market impact from resale of these shares.
Negative
- Issuance of 360,534,431 new Class A shares, increasing Class A shares outstanding to 608,527,305, enlarges the equity base and dilutes existing holders once the lock-up ends.
- The Company did not receive any cash proceeds from the cashless warrant exercise, so equity was issued without an accompanying cash inflow.
