Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 2”) hereby amends the prior statement on Schedule 13D initially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on June 23, 2022, as amended by the Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed on March 3, 2023 (as so amended, collectively, the “Schedule 13D”), on behalf of each of Mr. Xiaojun Zhang, a citizen of the People’s Republic of China, and Eagle Central Holding Limited, a company established in the British Virgin Islands and wholly owned by Mr. Xiaojun Zhang. Except as amended and supplemented herein, the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D remains unchanged. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned thereto in the Schedule 13D.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

The information set forth in Items 2, 3 and 6 of this Schedule 13D and the cover pages of this Schedule 13D is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5.

(a)-(b) The responses of each Reporting Person to rows 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13 of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D are hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5.

As of the date hereof, (i) 38,275,787 Class B ordinary shares are held directly by Eagle Central Holding Limited, and (ii) Mr. Xiaojun Zhang holds options to purchase up to 13,126,436 Class A ordinary shares exercisable within 60 days of the date hereof.

The percentage of the class of securities beneficially owned is calculated based on (i) 135,751,299 Class A ordinary shares of the Issuer issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2024, as provided by the Issuer, (ii) 38,275,787 Class B ordinary shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons, assuming the conversion of all such Class B ordinary shares into the same number of Class A ordinary shares and (iii) 13,126,436 Class A ordinary shares that Mr. Xiaojun Zhang has the right to acquire within 60 days after the date hereof pursuant to the terms of the options granted to him, assuming such options were exercised, as applicable.

The voting power of the shares beneficially owned by Mr. Xiaojun Zhang represents 48.4% of the total outstanding voting power. The percentage of voting power is calculated by dividing the voting power beneficially owned by such reporting person by the voting power of (i) a total of 135,751,299 Class A ordinary shares and 72,978,677 Class B ordinary shares of the Issuer issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2024, as provided by the Issuer, as well as (ii) 13,126,436 Class A ordinary shares that Mr. Xiaojun Zhang has the right to acquire within 60 days after the date hereof pursuant to the terms of the options granted to him, assuming such options were exercised. In respect of all matters subject to a shareholders’ vote, each Class A ordinary share is entitled to one vote, and each Class B ordinary share is entitled to 20 votes, voting together as one class. Each Class B ordinary share is convertible into one Class A ordinary share at any time by the holder thereof. Class A ordinary shares are not convertible into Class B ordinary shares under any circumstances.

In addition to the Special Option Grant, as described further in Item 6 below, the Issuer previously granted certain options to purchase Class A ordinary shares to Mr. Xiaojun Zhang pursuant to the Issuer’s 2018 share incentive plan (the “2018 Plan”).

By virtue of the voting agreement described further in Item 6 below, the Reporting Persons and certain parties thereto may each be deemed to be a member of a “group” for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. However, neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that the Reporting Persons are members of any such group. Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the Class A ordinary shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned solely by virtue of the voting agreement.

(c) The information set forth in Items 3 and 6 of this Schedule 13D is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5. Mr. Xiaojun Zhang became the beneficial owner of 473,783 additional Class A ordinary shares underlying share options which will vest within 60 days from the date hereof. Except as disclosed in this Schedule 13D, none of the Reporting Persons has effected any transactions relating to the Class A ordinary Shares during the past 60 days.

(d) Not applicable.

(e) Not applicable.

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

Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following after the fifth paragraph under the caption “Option Grants” thereof:

On August 1, 2022, the Issuer granted options to purchase 28,000 Class A ordinary shares to Mr. Xiaojun Zhang. 50% of the share options are exercisable on the second anniversary of the grant date; 25% of the share options are exercisable on the third anniversary of the grant date; 25% of the share options are exercisable on the fourth anniversary of the grant date.
