VOTING BY HOLDERS OF ADSs

As the holder of record for all the Class A ordinary shares represented by the ADSs (through a nominee), only Citibank, N.A., in its capacity as the depositary of the ADSs, may attend and vote those Class A ordinary shares at the AGM. We have requested Citibank, N.A., as the depositary of the ADSs, to distribute to all owners of record of ADSs as of the ADS Record Date, the notice of the AGM and the relevant ADS voting cards (the “ADS Voting Card(s)”). Upon the timely receipt from any holders of record of ADSs of voting instructions in the manner specified, Citibank, N.A. will endeavor, to the extent practicable and legally permissible, to vote or cause to be voted the number of Class A ordinary shares represented by the ADSs in accordance with such voting instructions. Under the terms of the Deposit Agreement, Citibank, N.A. will not vote or attempt to exercise the right to vote other than in accordance with such voting instructions or such deemed instructions as further described in the paragraphs below. There is no guarantee that a holder of ADSs will receive the materials described above with sufficient time to enable such holder to return voting instructions to Citibank, N.A. in a timely manner, in which case the Class A ordinary shares underlying your ADSs may not be voted in accordance with your wishes.

If a timely returned ADS Voting Card is signed but is missing voting instructions, Citibank, N.A. shall deem the holder of the ADSs in question to have instructed Citibank, N.A. to vote in favor of such items set forth in the relevant ADS Voting Card. If a timely returned ADS Voting Card is signed but contains conflicting voting instructions as to any item to be voted on at the AGM, Citibank, N.A. shall deem the holder of the ADSs in question to have instructed Citibank, N.A. to abstain from voting on such item. If no timely voting instructions are received by Citibank, N.A. from a holder of ADSs by 10:00 a.m. New York time, June 20, 2024, under the terms of the Deposit Agreement, Citibank, N.A. will deem such holder of ADSs to have instructed it to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by the Company to vote the Class A ordinary shares represented by such holder’s ADSs, unless voting at the meeting is by show of hands and unless the Company has informed Citibank, N.A. that (x) the Company does not wish such proxy to be given, (y) substantial opposition exists, or (z) the rights of holders of ordinary shares may be materially adversely affected, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Deposit Agreement.

REVOCABILITY OF PROXIES AND ADS VOTING CARDS

Any proxy given by a holder of Class A ordinary shares and/or Class B ordinary shares by means of a proxy form, and any voting instructions given by an ADS holder by means of an ADS Voting Card, pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked: (a) for holders of Class A ordinary shares, Class B ordinary shares or ADSs, by submitting a written notice of revocation or a fresh proxy form or fresh ADS Voting Card, as the case may be, bearing a later date, which must be received by the deadlines for returning the proxy forms or ADS Voting Cards set forth above, or (b) for holders of Class A ordinary shares or Class B ordinary shares only, by attending the AGM and voting in person.

PROPOSALS 2 TO 3

PROPOSED RE-ELECTION OF THE RETIRING DIRECTORS

Pursuant to the ninth amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of the Company (the “Existing Memorandum and Articles”), at every annual general meeting of the Company, one-third of the Directors for the time being (or, if their number is not three or a multiple of three, then the number nearest to, but not less than, one-third) shall retire from office by rotation provided that every Director (including those appointed for a specific term) shall be subject to retirement by rotation at least once every three years. Mr. Fei Yang, Mr. HongJiang Zhang and Ms. Fang Qu shall retire by rotation at the AGM. Mr. Fei Yang confirmed that he would not offer himself for re-election after his retirement by rotation at the AGM and would retire as a non-executive Director with effect upon conclusion of the AGM. Mr. HongJiang Zhang and Ms. Fang Qu (the “Retiring Directors”), being eligible, have offered themselves for re-election at the AGM.

The nomination committee of the Board (the “Nomination Committee”) has reviewed the structure and composition of the Board, the confirmations and disclosures given by the Retiring Directors, the qualifications, skills and experience, time commitment and contribution of the Retiring Directors with reference to the nomination principles and criteria set out in the Company’s Board Diversity Policy and Director Nomination Policy and the Company’s corporate strategy and the independence of the independent non-executive Directors. Mr. HongJiang Zhang and Ms. Fang Qu, the retiring independent non-executive Directors proposed to be re-elected, have confirmed their independence with reference to the factors set out in Rule 3.13 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules. The Nomination Committee and the Board have conducted assessment on their independence and considered that Mr. HongJiang Zhang and Ms. Fang Qu are independent in accordance with the independence guidelines set out in the Hong Kong Listing Rules, and are satisfied with the Retiring Directors’ contribution to the Company, which will continue to bring valuable business experience, knowledge and professionalism to the Board for its efficient and effective functioning and diversity. The Nomination Committee and the Board therefore recommended the re-election of the Retiring Directors including the aforesaid independent non-executive Directors at the AGM.

Pursuant to Rule 13.74 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules, a listed issuer shall disclose the details required under Rule 13.51(2) of the Hong Kong Listing Rules of any director(s) proposed to be re-elected or proposed new director in the notice or accompanying proxy statement/circular to its shareholders of the relevant general meeting, if such re-election or appointment is subject to shareholders’ approval at that relevant general meeting. Details of the Retiring Directors are set out in Appendix A to this proxy statement/circular.

Subject to the requirements under the Hong Kong Listing Rules and the Existing Memorandum and Articles, a shareholder may nominate a person to stand for election as a Director.

The Board recommends that shareholders vote FOR the resolutions in relation to the proposed re-election of the Retiring Directors.

PROPOSAL 6

PROPOSED GRANT OF GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES

In order to give the Company the flexibility to issue Class A ordinary shares if and when appropriate, without needing to convene a general meeting for each and every share issuance, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to approve the granting of a general mandate to the Directors to allot, issue or deal with additional Class A ordinary shares not exceeding 20% of the total number of issued shares (excluding treasury shares (the “treasury shares”, which has the meaning ascribed to it in the Hong Kong Listing Rules)) of the Company as at the date of passing of such resolution (the “Issuance Mandate”).

As at May 6, 2024 (the “Latest Practicable Date”, being the latest practicable date prior to the printing of this proxy statement/circular for ascertaining certain information in this proxy statement/circular), the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,540,864,035 Class A ordinary shares and 348,708,257 Class B ordinary shares. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution 6 and on the basis that the issued share capital of the Company (excluding treasury shares) remains unchanged after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the AGM, the Company will be allowed to issue a maximum of 377,914,458 Class A ordinary shares. The Directors wish to state that they have no immediate plans to issue any new shares pursuant to the Issuance Mandate. For the avoidance of doubt, any issuance of additional Class A ordinary shares upon satisfaction of certain milestones, pursuant to the share purchase agreement, dated August 27, 2023, among the Company, DiDi Global Inc. and Da Vinci Auto Co. Limited, is an exercise of powers authorized by the general mandate granted at the annual general meeting of the Company held on June 20, 2023, and shall not count towards the number of shares issued pursuant to the Issuance Mandate.

The Board recommends that shareholders vote FOR the resolution in relation to the proposed grant of general mandate to issue shares.

PROPOSAL 7

PROPOSED GRANT OF GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SHARES AND/OR ADSS

In order to give the Company the flexibility to repurchase shares and/or ADSs if and when appropriate, without needing to convene a general meeting for each and every share repurchase, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to approve the granting of a new general mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase its shares and/or ADSs representing up to 10% of the total number of issued shares (excluding treasury shares) of the Company as at the date of passing of such resolution (the “Repurchase Mandate”).

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,540,864,035 Class A ordinary shares and 348,708,257 Class B ordinary shares. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution 7 and on the basis that the issued share capital of the Company (excluding treasury shares) remains unchanged after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the AGM, the Company will be allowed to repurchase a maximum of 188,957,229 Class A ordinary shares.

An explanatory statement required by the Hong Kong Listing Rules to be sent to the shareholders of the Company in connection with the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix B to this proxy statement/circular. This explanatory statement contains the information reasonably necessary to enable the shareholders of the Company to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the relevant resolution at the AGM.

Under the existing Hong Kong Listing Rules, the Company is required to cancel any Class A ordinary shares and/ or ADSs repurchased by it as soon as reasonably practicable following such repurchase. The Board notes that with effect from June 11, 2024, the Hong Kong Listing Rules will be amended to remove the requirement to cancel repurchased shares and to adopt a framework to govern the resale of treasury shares. In view of the changes to the Hong Kong Listing Rules, if the Company purchases any Class A ordinary shares and/or ADSs pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, the Company will either (i) cancel the Class A ordinary shares and/or the Class A ordinary shares underlying ADSs repurchased and/or (ii) hold such Class A ordinary shares and/or the Class A ordinary shares underlying ADSs in treasury, subject to market conditions and the Company’s capital management needs at the relevant time any repurchases of shares are made. If the Company holds any shares of the Company in treasury, any sale or transfer of such shares in treasury will be made pursuant to the terms of the Issuance Mandate and in accordance with the Hong Kong Listing Rules and applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands.

The Board recommends that shareholders vote FOR the resolution in relation to the proposed grant of general mandate to repurchase shares.

 

— 7 —


PROPOSAL 8

PROPOSED GRANT OF EXTENSION MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES

In addition, subject to a separate approval of the ordinary resolution 8, the number of shares and/or shares underlying the ADSs purchased by the Company under ordinary resolution 7 will also be added to extend the Issuance Mandate as mentioned in ordinary resolution 6 provided that such additional number shall represent up to 10% of the total number of issued shares (excluding treasury shares) of the Company as at the date of passing the resolutions in relation to the Issuance Mandate and Repurchase Mandate (the “Extension Mandate”).

The Board recommends that shareholders vote FOR the resolution in relation to the proposed grant of extension mandate to issue shares.

The Issuance Mandate (including the Extension Mandate) and the Repurchase Mandate, if granted, shall continue to be in force during the period from the date of passing of the resolutions for the approval of the Issuance Mandate (including the Extension Mandate) and the Repurchase Mandate up to (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by the articles of association of the Company or any applicable laws and regulations; or (iii) the date on which the authority set out in the Issuance Mandate (including the Extension Mandate) or the Repurchase Mandate (as the case may be) is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the shareholders in general meeting, whichever occurs first.

APPENDIX B

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

The following is an explanatory statement required by the Hong Kong Listing Rules to be sent to the shareholders of the Company to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the AGM in relation to the granting of the Repurchase Mandate.

 

1.

REASONS FOR REPURCHASE OF SHARES AND/OR ADSS

The Directors believe that the granting of the Repurchase Mandate is in the interests of the Company and the shareholders of the Company as a whole.

Repurchases of shares and/or ADSs may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per share and/or earnings per share. The Directors are seeking the granting of the Repurchase Mandate to give the Company the flexibility to do so if and when appropriate. The number of shares and/or ADSs to be repurchased on any occasion and the price and other terms upon which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time, having regard to the circumstances then pertaining.

The Directors would only exercise the power to repurchase in circumstances where they consider that the repurchase would be in the best interests of the Company and the shareholders of the Company as a whole.

 

2.

SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,889,572,292 shares, out of which 1,540,864,035 were Class A ordinary shares and 348,708,257 were Class B ordinary shares. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution set out in item 7 of the notice of the AGM in respect of the granting of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that the issued share capital of the Company (excluding treasury shares) remains unchanged as at the date of the AGM, i.e. being 1,889,572,292 shares, the Directors would be authorized under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase, during the period in which the Repurchase Mandate remains in force, up to a maximum of 188,957,229 shares, representing 10% of the total number of the issued shares (excluding treasury shares) of the Company as at the date of the AGM.

As stated in proposal 7 in the proxy statement/circular of the AGM, if the Company purchases any Class A ordinary shares and/or ADSs pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, the Company will either (i) cancel the Class A ordinary shares and/or the Class A ordinary shares underlying ADSs repurchased and/or (ii) hold such Class A ordinary shares and/or the Class A ordinary shares underlying ADSs in treasury, subject to market conditions and the Company’s capital management needs at the relevant time any repurchases of shares are made.

To the extent that any treasury shares are deposited with Central Clearing and Settlement System (“CCASS”) pending resale on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the Company will adopt appropriate measures to ensure that it does not exercise any shareholders’ rights or receive any entitlements which would otherwise be suspended under the applicable laws if those shares were registered in the Company’s own name as treasury shares, which may include approval by the Board that (i) the Company would not (and would procure its broker not to) give any instructions to Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited to vote at general meetings for the treasury shares deposited with CCASS; and (ii) in the case of dividends or distributions, the Company will withdraw the treasury shares from CCASS, and either re-register them in its own name as treasury shares or cancel them, in each case before the record date for the dividends or distributions.

 

— 12 —


3.

FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Repurchases of shares and/or ADSs will be funded from the Company’s internal resources, which shall be funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the articles of association of the Company in effect from time to time, the Hong Kong Listing Rules, the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and/or any other applicable laws, as the case may be.

 

4.

IMPACT OF REPURCHASES

There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited accounts contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2023) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period.

The Directors do not intend to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or its gearing levels which, in the opinion of the Directors, are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

 

5.

TAKEOVERS CODE

If, on the exercise of the power to repurchase shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, a shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purposes of the Codes on Takeovers and Mergers and Share Buy-backs (the “Takeovers Code”). Accordingly, a shareholder or a group of shareholders acting in concert (as defined under the Takeovers Code) could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and thereby become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, the WVR Beneficiary (has the meaning ascribed to it under the Hong Kong Listing Rules) was Mr. Xiaopeng He (“Mr. He”). Mr. He beneficially owned 4,400,000 Class A ordinary shares and 348,708,257 Class B ordinary shares, representing approximately 69.4% of the voting rights in the Company. Pursuant to Rule 8A.15 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules, in the event that the Directors exercise the Repurchase Mandate, the WVR Beneficiary must reduce his weighted voting rights in the Company proportionately through conversion of a proportion of his Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares, if the reduction in the number of shares in issue (after deducting treasury shares) would otherwise result in an increase in the proportion of Class B ordinary shares. As such, to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, the exercise of the Repurchase Mandate is not expected to give rise to an obligation of Mr. He to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code. The Directors have no present intention to repurchase the shares and/or ADSs to the extent that will trigger the obligations under the Takeovers Code to make a mandatory offer. The Directors are not aware of any other consequences which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any purchase by the Company of its shares.

In addition, the Directors do not propose to repurchase shares and/or ADSs which would result in less than the relevant prescribed minimum percentage of shares in public hands as required by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

 

6.

GENERAL

None of the Directors or, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective close associates (as defined in the Hong Kong Listing Rules) have any present intention to sell any shares to the Company in the event that the granting of the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the shareholders of the Company.

 

— 13 —


The Company has not been notified by any core connected persons (as defined in the Hong Kong Listing Rules) of the Company that they have a present intention to sell any shares to the Company, or that they have undertaken not to sell any shares held by them to the Company in the event that the granting of the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the shareholders of the Company.

The Directors have undertaken that they will exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases of shares and/or ADSs pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Hong Kong Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

The Company has confirmed that neither the explanatory statement nor the Repurchase Mandate has any unusual features.

The Depositary has been advised by the Company that under the Articles of Association of the Company as currently in effect, voting at any meeting of shareholders of the Company is by poll except where the chairman of such meeting, in good faith, decides to allow a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands.

If voting is by poll and the Depositary does not receive voting instructions from a Holder as of the ADS Record Date on or before the date established by the Depositary for such purpose, such Holder shall be deemed, and the Depositary shall deem such Holder, to have instructed the Depositary to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by the Company to vote the Deposited Securities; provided, however, that no such discretionary proxy shall be given by the Depositary with respect to any matter to be voted upon as to which the Company informs the Depositary that (A) the Company does not wish such proxy to be given, (B) substantial opposition exists, or (C) the rights of holders of Deposited Securities may be adversely affected.

If the Depositary timely receives voting instructions from a Holder which fail to specify the manner in which the Depositary is to vote the Deposited Securities represented by such Holder’s ADSs, the Depositary will deem such Holder to have instructed the Depositary to vote in favor of the items set forth in such voting instructions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Depositary shall, if so requested in writing by the Company, represent all Deposited Securities (whether or not voting instructions have been received in respect of such Deposited Securities from Holders as of the ADS Record Date) for the sole purpose of establishing quorum at a meeting of shareholders.
