EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Post-Effective Amendment to Form S-8 (“Post-Effective Amendment”) amends the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-238148) of Huize Holding Limited (the “Registrant”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on May 11, 2020 and the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-269596) of the Registrant filed with the Commission on February 6, 2023 (together with this Post-Effective Amendment, the “Registration Statements”), with respect to the Class A common shares issuable pursuant to the Registrant’s 2019 Share Incentive Plan.
In September 2021, May 2023 and November 2023, respectively, the Registrant’s board of directors approved the amendments to the 2019 Share Incentive Plan to increase the maximum number of Class A common shares that may be issued under the 2019 Share Incentive Plan. Under the currently effective Third Amended and Restated 2019 Share Incentive Plan (the “Third A&R 2019 Plan”), the maximum aggregate number of Class A common shares that may be issued shall be 187,559,565, plus an annual increase on June 1 of each of 2024, 2025, 2026 and 2027, by (i) 31,351,400 Class A common shares or (ii) such number of Class A common shares as may be determined by the Registrant’s board. The rest of provisions of the 2019 Share Incentive Plan will remain in full force and effect.
As a result, the Registrant is filing this Post-Effective Amendment to incorporate the Third A&R 2019 Plan as an exhibit to the Registration Statements and to reflect that a total of up to 187,559,565 Class A common shares, plus an annual increase on June 1 of each of 2024, 2025, 2026 and 2027, by (i) 31,351,400 Class A common shares or (ii) such number of Class A common shares as may be determined by the Registrant’s board, have or may become available for issuance under the Third A&R 2019 Plan. The Registrant is also filing a new registration statement on Form S-8 to register additional Class A common shares that will become available for issuance under the Third A&R 2019 Plan.
