SCHEDULE 13D

EXPLANATORY NOTE

An Ke Technology Company Limited (“An Ke”), China Ping An Insurance Overseas (Holdings) Limited (“PAOH”), and Ping An Insurance (Group) Company of China, Ltd. (“Ping An”, together with An Ke and PAOH, the “Reporting Persons” and each, a “Reporting Person”) are the beneficial owners of ordinary shares, par value US$0.00001 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), of Lufax Holding Ltd, a Cayman Islands company (“Lufax”). All references to Ordinary Shares herein include the Ordinary Shares underlying the ADSs of Lufax.

The Reporting Persons originally filed a Schedule 13D (the “Schedule 13D”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on August 13, 2024. The Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by this Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

The information set forth in Item 4 of this Amendment is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3.

The total purchase price of the Call Options exercisable within 60 days hereof as described below was approximately RMB158.3 million.

An Ke acquired such call options using its working capital.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

The information set forth in Section “Call Options” under Item 6 of this Amendment is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 4.

The Call Options were acquired for long-term investment purposes.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

(a) Rows (11) and (13) of the cover pages of this Amendment are hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5(a).

(b) Rows (7) to (10) of the cover pages of this Amendment are hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5(b).

(c) Except as disclosed in the Schedule 13D and this Amendment, none of the Reporting Persons or, to the knowledge, any of the persons listed in Schedules A-1, A-2 or A-3 of the Schedule 13D, has effected any transactions relating to the Ordinary Shares during the past 60 days.

(d) To the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no person other than the Reporting Persons has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the securities beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons identified in this Item 5.

(e) Not applicable.

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

The Section “Call Options” in Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

Each shareholder of Lanbang Investment Company Limited (“Lanbang”), Mr. Jingkui Shi (“Mr. Shi”) and Mr. Xuelian Yang (“Mr. Yang”), has granted an option to An Ke to purchase up to 100% of his shares in Lanbang (the “Lanbang Offshore Call Options”). Lanbang and Tongjun Investment Company Limited (“Tongjun”) are shareholders of Tun Kung Company Limited (“Tun Kung”) that owned 56.4% and 43.6% of the equity interests, respectively, as of the date hereof, following a recent share repurchase by Tun Kung from Tongjun. Tun Kung beneficially owned 308,198,174 ordinary shares of Lufax as of March 31, 2024. Each shareholder of Lanbang is entitled to his voting and other rights in Lanbang prior to An Ke’s exercise of the Lanbang Offshore Call Options.

---

Lanbang has also granted an option to An Ke to purchase up to 100% of its shares in Tun Kung (the “Tun Kung Offshore Call Options,” together with the Lanbang Offshore Call Options, the “Offshore Call Options”). The exercise price of the Offshore Call Options is calculated pursuant to a formula, which is primarily based upon a predetermined value as multiplied by the ratio of the market price of the ADSs of Lufax representing its ordinary shares plus any dividends and distributions to the price of its shares paid by its A-round investors. Lanbang is entitled to its voting and other rights in Tun Kung prior to An Ke’s exercise of the Tun Kung Offshore Call Options.

Mr. Shi and Mr. Yang also hold the entire equity interest in Shanghai Lanbang Investment Limited Liability Company (“Shanghai Lanbang”), which holds equity interests in two of the consolidated affiliated entities of Lufax. Each of Mr. Shi and Mr. Yang has granted an option to Shenzhen Ping An Financial Technology Consulting Co. Ltd. (“PAFT”), the parent company of An Ke, to purchase up to 100% of his equity interest in Shanghai Lanbang (the “Onshore Call Options”, together with the Offshore Call Options, the “Call Options”). The exercise price of the Onshore Call Options is calculated pursuant to another formula, which is primarily based upon a predetermined value plus amount as adjusted by a premium rate.

In August 2021, An Ke and PAFT amended the exercise period of the Call Options. Following such amendments, the Call Options are exercisable concurrently, in whole or in part, during the period commencing on November 1, 2024 (within 60 days hereof) and ending on October 31, 2034. For details on the Call Options, see “Item 6E. Share Ownership” in Lufax’s annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the Commission on April 23, 2024.
