January 2025 Notes
General. The January 2025 Notes were issued with an original issue discount of 20%. On the date of the maturity of the January 2025 Notes, the Company will be required to pay to the holders an amount in cash representing 100% of all outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and unpaid late charges. The January 2025 Notes are convertible into Class A Ordinary Shares at any time at the option of the holders and, with respect to interest payments where certain conditions are met by the Company, and is also subject to certain redemption rights of the holders and the Company, as described further below.
Ranking. All payments due under the January 2025 Notes will be senior to all other indebtedness of the Company, other than certain existing and other permitted debts.
Maturity Date. Unless converted or redeemed, the January 2025 Notes will mature on July 10, 2026, subject to such holder’s right to extend such date in certain circumstances.
Interest Rate. The January 2025 Notes shall accrue interest at an annual rate equal to 8% per annum which is payable monthly in securities of the Company subject to the conditions described below, or, at the Company’s option, in cash. Upon an event of default under the January 2025 Notes, the interest rate will increase to 22% per annum until such default has been cured.
Late Charges. The Company is required to pay late charges of 18% per annum on any amount of principal or other amounts that are not paid when due.
Conversion at Option of Holder. At any time after issuance, all amounts due under the January 2025 Notes are convertible at any time, in whole or in part, at the holder’s option, into Class A Ordinary Shares at a conversion price of $0.559 per share (the “Conversion Price”), subject to proportional adjustment upon the occurrence of any share split, share dividend, share combination or similar transactions. Upon a holder’s conversion of a January 2025 Note, the amount of Class A Ordinary Shares into which such January 2025 Note will be convertible will be equal to the principal amount to be converted under such January 2025 Note plus any accrued and unpaid interest, and accrued and unpaid late charges on such principal and interest, if any.
2
Alternate Optional Conversion. From and after the occurrence of an event of default, a holder may alternatively elect to convert (an “Alternate Optional Conversion”) such holder’s January 2025 Notes into an amount of Class A Ordinary Shares equal to 115% of the converted dollar amount at the “Alternate Conversion Price”, which is equal to the lowest of (a) the Conversion Price then in effect; and (b) the greater of (x) a floor price equal to $0.1118, subject to adjustment to equal 20% of the lower of the closing price or the average closing price for the five consecutive trading days immediately prior to every six-month anniversary of the issuance date of the January 2025 Note, and any share split, share dividend, share combination or similar transaction (as adjusted, the “Floor Price”), and (y) 80% of the lowest volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Class A Ordinary Shares during the five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date on which the Company receives written notice of such conversion from such holder.
Conversion of Interest at Option of Company. For each required payment of interest, the Company may pay such interest by converting the interest amount and issuing a number of Class A Ordinary Shares (an “Interest Conversion”) equal to the interest amount multiplied by a price equal to the lower of (i) the applicable Conversion Price as in effect, and (ii) the greater of (x) the Floor Price then in effect and (y) 90% of the lowest VWAP of the Class A Ordinary Shares during the seven consecutive trading days ending and including the trading day immediately preceding the applicable interest date (the “Interest Conversion Price”), so long as there has been no Equity Conditions Failure (as defined in the January 2025 Notes).
Limitations on Conversion. The January 2025 Note holders shall not have the right to convert any portion of any January 2025 Note to the extent that, after giving effect to such conversion, such holder (together with certain related parties) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. The Maximum Percentage may be raised or lowered to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99%, at the option of each holder, provided that any increase will only be effective upon 61 days’ prior written notice to the Company.
Distribution Participation Rights. If the Company issues options, convertible securities, warrants, shares, or similar securities or distributes assets pro rata to holders of the Class A Ordinary Shares, each of the January 2025 Note holders has the right to acquire the same as if such holder had converted such holder’s January 2025 Notes in full, except that to the extent that such acquisition would result in such holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the securities or assets distribution to such holder will be held in abeyance until such distribution would not cause the Maximum Percentage to be exceeded.
Floor Price Adjustment. If the Floor Price is applicable to determine an Interest Conversion or an Alternate Optional Conversion, the Company will be required to pay the respective holder an amount in cash equal to the product of (x) the higher of (i) the highest price of the Class A Ordinary Shares on the trading day before the conversion and (ii) the applicable Alternate Conversion Price or Interest Conversion Price and (y) the difference obtained by subtracting (I) the number of Class A Ordinary Shares to be issued with respect to such Alternate Optional Conversion or Interest Conversion from (II) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the applicable Conversion Amount or amount of interest by (y) the applicable Alternate Conversion Price or Interest Conversion Price without giving effect to the portion of the Alternate Conversion Price or the Interest Conversion Price, as applicable, relating to the Floor Price.
Antidilution Rights. The January 2025 Notes have full-ratchet antidilution rights, i.e., the Conversion Price will be reduced to equal any lower price per share of any securities issued by the Company, except as to certain Excluded Securities (as defined by the January 2025 Notes), in the manner provided for in the January 2025 Notes. The conversion price formulas and number of shares issuable upon conversion of the January 2025 Notes will also be proportionately adjusted for any share split or reverse share split or similar event.
Share Split Adjustments. Upon any share split or reverse share split or similar event, the Conversion Price will be reduced to a price equal to the quotient determined by dividing (x) the sum of the VWAP of the Class A Ordinary Shares for each of the five trading days with the lowest VWAP of the Class A Ordinary Shares during the 15 consecutive trading days ending and including the trading day immediately preceding the 16th trading day after such event, divided by five.
Applicable Date Adjustments. On the 90th calendar after the Applicable Date, the Conversion Price will be reduced to equal the lower of (i) the applicable Conversion Price as in effect on the applicable adjustment date, and (ii) the greater of (x) the Floor Price then in effect and (y) the lowest VWAP of the Class A Ordinary Shares during the 20 consecutive trading days ending and including the trading day immediately preceding the applicable adjustment date.
3
Company Optional Redemption. At any time, the Company may redeem in cash all, but not less than all, of the January 2025 Notes at a 15% redemption premium to the greater of (a) the amount then outstanding under the January 2025 Notes, and (b) the product of (1) the quotient of (A) the amount outstanding divided by (b) the Alternate Conversion Price then in effect multiplied by (2) the greatest closing sale price of the Class A Ordinary Shares on any trading day during the period commencing on the date immediately preceding the redemption date and ending on the trading day immediately prior to the date the Company makes the entire redemption payment.
Change of Control Redemption. Upon a Change of Control (as defined in the January 2025 Notes), the holder of any January 2025 Note may require us to redeem in cash all, or any portion, of such January 2025 Note at a 15% redemption premium to the greater of (a) the amount being redeemed, (b) the product of (x) the amount being redeemed multiplied by (y) the quotient determined by dividing (I) the greatest closing sale price of the Class A Ordinary Shares during the period beginning on the date immediately preceding the earlier to occur of (1) the consummation of the applicable Change of Control and (2) the public announcement of such Change of Control and ending on the date of such holder’s Change of Control redemption notice by (II) the Conversion Price then in effect, and (c) the product of (x) the amount being redeemed multiplied by (y) the quotient of (I) the aggregate cash consideration and the aggregate cash value of any non-cash consideration per Class A Ordinary Share to be paid to the holders of the Class A Ordinary Shares upon consummation of such Change of Control (any such non-cash consideration constituting publicly-traded securities shall be valued at the highest of the closing sale price of such securities as of the trading day immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control, the closing sale price of such securities on the trading day immediately following the public announcement of such proposed Change of Control and the closing sale price of such securities on the trading day immediately prior to the public announcement of such proposed Change of Control) divided by (II) the Conversion Price then in effect.
Subsequent Placement Optional Redemption and Participation Right. Upon the occurrence of a Subsequent Placement, the holder of any January 2025 Note may require the Company to redeem such January 2025 Note, in whole or in part, using the Holder Pro Rata Amount (as defined in the January 2025 Notes) of 25% (or, if such Subsequent Placement includes sales during the Restricted Period of securities pursuant to any at-the-market offering, 30%) of the gross proceeds of such Subsequent Placement. Upon such redemption, the Company must pay in cash at a price equal to 115% of the greater of (i) the amount being redeemed and (ii) the product of (1) the quotient of (A) the amount being redeemed divided by (b) the Alternate Conversion Price then in effect multiplied by (2) the greatest closing sale price of the Class A Ordinary Shares on any trading day during the period commencing on the date immediately preceding notice of the redemption and ending on the trading day immediately prior to the date the Company makes the entire required payment.
At the option of the holders of the January 2025 Notes, the Company must permit each of such holders to participate in the Subsequent Placement by exchanging all or any part of such holder’s January 2025 Notes against the purchase price of the securities offered in the Subsequent Placement up to the Subsequent Placement redemption amount that would otherwise be paid to such holder. The aggregate amount of the securities to be issued to such holder in such exchange will be equal to 120% of the greater of (i) the amount being redeemed and (ii) the product of (1) the quotient of (A) the amount being redeemed divided by (b) the Alternate Conversion Price then in effect multiplied by (2) the greatest closing sale price of the Class A Ordinary Shares on any trading day during the period commencing on the date immediately preceding notice of the redemption and ending on the trading day immediately prior to the consummation of such Subsequent Placement.
Asset Sale Redemption. Upon the occurrence of certain asset sales, the holder of any January 2025 Note may require the Company to redeem such January 2025 Note, in whole or in part, using the Holder Pro Rata Amount of 25% of the net proceeds from such asset sale. Upon such redemption, the Company must pay in cash at a price equal to 115% of the greater of (i) the amount being redeemed and (ii) the product of (1) the quotient of (A) the amount being redeemed divided by (B) the Alternate Conversion Price then in effect multiplied by (2) the greatest closing sale price of the Class A Ordinary Shares on any trading day during the period commencing on the date immediately preceding notice of the redemption and ending on the trading day immediately prior to the date the Company makes the entire required payment.
4
Event of Default Redemption. Upon any event of default, each holder may require the Company to redeem in cash all or any portion of the amounts due under such holder’s January 2025 Notes at a price equal to the greater of (i) the product of (A) the amount to be redeemed multiplied by (B) 115% and (ii) the product of (X) the quotient of (a) the amount to be redeemed divided by (b) the Alternate Conversion Price then in effect multiplied by (Y) the product of (1) 115% multiplied by (2) the greatest closing sale price of the Class A Ordinary Shares on any trading day during the period commencing on the date immediately preceding such event of default and ending on the date the Company makes the entire payment.
Bankruptcy Event of Default Redemption. Upon any event of default relating to the bankruptcy or similar event of the Company, the Company will be required to immediately pay each holder in cash all amounts due under such holder’s January 2025 Notes at a 15% premium.
Redemption Payment Failure. In the event of a redemption by any holder of the January 2025 Notes and the Company does not pay the applicable redemption price to such holder within the time period required, at any time thereafter and until the Company pays such unpaid redemption price in full, such holder will have the option, in lieu of redemption, to require the Company to promptly return to such holder all or any portion of such January 2025 Notes representing the amount that was submitted for redemption and for which the applicable redemption price (together with any late charges thereon) has not been paid. Upon the Company’s receipt of such notice, (x) the applicable redemption notice shall be null and void with respect to such redemption amount, (y) the Company shall immediately return such January 2025 Notes, or issue new notes to such holder, and in each case the principal amount of such January 2025 Notes or such new notes shall be increased by an amount equal to the difference between (1) the applicable redemption price (as adjusted, if applicable) minus (2) the principal portion of the amount submitted for redemption and (z) the Conversion Price shall be automatically adjusted with respect to each conversion effected thereafter by such holder to the lowest of (A) the Conversion Price as in effect on the date on which the applicable redemption notice is voided, (B) the greater of (i) the Floor Price then in effect and (ii) 75% of the lowest closing bid price of the Class A Ordinary Shares during the period beginning on and including the date on which the applicable redemption notice is delivered to the Company and ending on and including the date on which the applicable redemption notice is voided and (C) the greater of (x) the Floor Price then in effect and (y) 75% of the quotient of (I) the sum of the five lowest VWAPs of the Class A Ordinary Shares during the 20 consecutive trading days ending and including the applicable conversion date, divided by (II) five.
Certain Covenants; Reservation of Shares. While any January 2025 Notes are outstanding, the Company may not incur or guarantee any debts or liens, pay cash dividends or effect redemptions on its shares, make certain asset sales, or change the nature of its business, and must comply with certain other customary covenants. In addition, the Company must reserve at least 150% of the number of Class A Ordinary Shares into which the January 2025 Notes may be converted, assuming conversion by way of an Alternate Optional Conversion.
Fundamental Transactions. The Company may not enter into a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the January 2025 Notes) unless the successor entity assumes all obligations of the Company under the January 2025 Notes and specified transaction documents. Prior to the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction, the January 2025 Note holders will have the right to (i) in addition to the Class A Ordinary Shares receivable upon any conversion, such securities or other assets to which such holders would have been entitled with respect to such Class A Ordinary Shares had such Class A Ordinary Shares been held by such holders upon the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of the January 2025 Notes), if any, or (ii) in lieu of the Class A Ordinary Shares otherwise receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets received by the holders of Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, if any, in such amounts as such holders would have been entitled to receive had the January 2025 Notes initially been issued with conversion rights for the form of such consideration (as opposed to Class A Ordinary Shares) at a conversion rate for such consideration commensurate with the number of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the conversion amount by the Conversion Price.
Penalty for Late Delivery of Shares Upon Conversion; Buy-In Payments. The January 2025 Notes provide that if the Company fails to deliver Class A Ordinary Shares upon conversion of any January 2025 Notes when and as required, the Company must pay the holders of such January 2025 Notes an amount equal to 2% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of Class A Ordinary Shares not delivered to such holders by the required delivery date, multiplied by (B) any trading price of the Class A Ordinary Shares selected by such holders in writing as in effect at any time during the period beginning on the applicable conversion date and ending on the date that the shares are delivered. In addition, the January 2025 Notes provide that if any holder conducts a Buy-In (as defined in the January 2025 Notes) upon failure to deliver any Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion when and as required, the Company will be required to pay such holder the Buy-In Payment Amount (as defined in the January 2025 Notes).

January 2025 Warrants
Exercise Price. The January 2025 Warrants will initially be exercisable for cash at an exercise price equal to $0.559 per Class A Ordinary Share (the “Exercise Price”), subject to adjustment as set forth therein.

The January 2025 Warrants have full-ratchet antidilution rights, i.e., the Exercise Price will be reduced to equal any lower price per share of any securities issued by the Company, except as to certain Excluded Securities (as defined by the January 2025 Warrants), in the manner provided for in the January 2025 Warrants. The exercise price formulas and number of shares issuable upon exercise of the January 2025 Warrants will also be proportionately adjusted for any share split or reverse share split or similar event.
Share Split Adjustments. Upon any share split or reverse share split or similar event, the Exercise Price will be reduced to a price equal to the quotient determined by dividing (x) the sum of the VWAP of the Class A Ordinary Shares for each of the five trading days with the lowest VWAP of the Class A Ordinary Shares during the 15 consecutive trading days ending and including the trading day immediately preceding the 16th trading day after such event, divided by five.
Applicable Date Adjustments. On the 90th calendar after each Applicable Date, the Exercise Price will be reduced to equal the lower of (i) the applicable Exercise Price as in effect on the applicable adjustment date, and (ii) the greater of (x) the Floor Price then in effect and (y) the lowest VWAP of the Class A Ordinary Shares during the 20 consecutive trading days ending and including the trading day immediately preceding the applicable adjustment date.
Number of Warrant Shares Adjustment. In the event of any adjustment to the Exercise Price, the number of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of the January 2025 Warrants will also be adjusted so that the aggregate Exercise Price shall be the same immediately before and immediately after any such adjustment.
Exercise Period. The January 2025 Warrants shall be exercisable beginning on the issuance date of the January 2025 Warrants and expiring on the third anniversary of the issuance date.
Buy-In Payments. The January 2025 Warrants require “buy-in” payments to be made by the Company for failure to deliver any Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise within the prescribed period.
Cashless Exercise. If at the time of exercise of any January 2025 Warrant, there is no effective registration statement registering the shares of the Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the January 2025 Warrants, such January 2025 Warrant may be exercised on a cashless basis pursuant to its terms.
Limitations on Exercise. The January 2025 Warrant holders shall not have the right to exercise any portion of any January 2025 Warrant to the extent that, after giving effect to such exercise, such holder (together with certain related parties) would beneficially own in excess of the Maximum Percentage after giving effect to such conversion, which shall initially be 4.99% of Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. The Maximum Percentage may be raised or lowered to any percentage not in excess of 9.99%, at the option of such holder, provided that any increase will only be effective upon 61 days’ prior written notice to the Company.
Distribution Participation Rights. If the Company issues options, convertible securities, warrants, shares, or similar securities or distributes assets pro rata to holders of the Class A Ordinary Shares, each of the January 2025 Warrant holders has the right to acquire the same as if such holder had exercised such holder’s January 2025 Warrants in full, except that to the extent that such acquisition would result in such holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the securities or assets distribution to such holder will be held in abeyance until such distribution would not cause the Maximum Percentage to be exceeded.
Reservation of Shares. While any January 2025 Warrants are outstanding, the Company must reserve at least 150% of the maximum number of Class A Ordinary Shares as shall be necessary to satisfy the Company’s obligation to issue Class A Ordinary Shares under the January 2025 Warrants.
Fundamental Transactions. The Company may not enter into a Fundamental Transaction unless the successor entity assumes all obligations of the Company under the January 2025 Warrants and specified transaction documents. Upon a Fundamental Transaction, the January 2025 Warrant holders will thereafter have the right to receive upon an exercise such shares, securities, cash, assets or any other property which such holders would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of the Fundamental Transaction had such holders’ January 2025 Warrants been exercised immediately prior to the Fundamental Transaction, if any.
6
Change of Control Redemption Rights. Upon the occurrence or public disclosure of a Change of Control, each of the January 2025 Warrant holders will have the right to require the Company to repurchase the unexercised portion of such holder’s January 2025 Warrants for an amount of cash based on an option pricing model reasonably acceptable to such holder and the Company.
Penalty for Late Delivery of Shares Upon Exercise; Buy-In Payments. The January 2025 Warrants provide that if the Company fails to deliver Class A Ordinary Shares upon exercise of any January 2025 Warrants when and as required, the Company must pay the holders of such January 2025 Warrants an amount equal to 2% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of Class A Ordinary Shares not delivered to such holders by the required delivery date, multiplied by (B) any trading price of the Class A Ordinary Shares selected by such holders in writing as in effect at any time during the period beginning on the applicable exercise date and ending on the date that the shares are delivered. In addition, the January 2025 Warrants provide that if any holder conducts a Buy-In (as defined in the January 2025 Warrants) upon failure to deliver any Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise when and as required, the Company will be required to pay such holder the Buy-In Payment Amount (as defined in the January 2025 Warrants).
January 2025 Registration Rights Agreement
Under the January 2025 Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to register the resale of the Registrable Securities in an amount equal to the sum of at least 150% of the maximum Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon (i) conversion of the January 2025 Notes at the Alternate Conversion Price, including interest through the date of maturity, and (ii) exercise of the January 2025 Warrants (the “Required Registration Amount”). The Company agreed to file the initial Registration Statement with the SEC within 45 calendar days from the closing under the January 2025 Purchase Agreement and to have the initial Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC within 90 days from the date of such closing. If the number of Class A Ordinary Shares registered for resale on the initial Registration Statement is deemed insufficient, the Company must file a new Registration Statement covering the deficient number within 15 days, taking into account any SEC staff position as to whether such Registration Statement will be permitted, and have such new Registration Statement declared effective within 90 days. The number of Class A Ordinary Shares registered for resale will be considered insufficient if at any time the number of Class A Ordinary Shares available for resale under the applicable Registration Statement is less than the product determined by multiplying (i) the Required Registration Amount as of such time by (ii) 0.90. Each Registration Statement must remain effective and available for the resale of all securities required to be registered for resale until all such securities are resold or such securities may be resold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144.
Upon a failure (a) to file a Registration Statement, (b) have a Registration Statement declared effective by the required date, (c) maintain the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or (d) maintain the availability of the prospectus contained in a Registration Statement for use, then the Company will be required to pay each Investor an amount in cash equal to 1% of the original principal amount under such Investor’s January 2025 Note on the date of the failure, and every 30-day anniversary until the failure is cured.
The January 2025 Registration Rights Agreement also provides the Investors certain piggyback registration rights if there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the securities that must be registered under the Registration Statement under the January 2025 Registration Rights Agreement.
The January 2025 Registration Rights Agreement also contains certain customary covenants and indemnification provisions.

Issuance of Press Release
On January 13, 2025, the Company issued a press release to announce the signing and closing of the January 2025 Purchase Agreement and certain other matters. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report on Form 6-K.
The information furnished in Exhibit 99.1 hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Forward-Looking Statements
The press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and the statements contained therein may include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, which statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or the Company’s future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify these statements because they contain words such as “may,” “will,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “projects,” “intends,” “should,” “seeks,” “future,” “continue,” “plan,” “target,” “predict,” “potential,” or the negative of such terms, or other comparable terminology that concern the Company’s expectations, strategy, plans, or intentions. Forward-looking statements relating to expectations about future results or events are based upon information available to the Company as of today’s date and are not guarantees of the future performance of the Company, and actual results may vary materially from the results and expectations discussed. The Company’s expectations and beliefs regarding these matters may not materialize, and actual results in future periods are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, including risks and uncertainties described under Item 3. “Key Information – D. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on April 30, 2024 (the “Annual Report”), and other filings with the SEC. Should any of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions about the Company’s business and the commercial markets in which the Company operates prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described as anticipated, estimated or expected in the Annual Report. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning the Company or other matters and attributable to the Company or any person acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. The Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update any of these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that may arise after the date hereof, except as required by law.
