Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 is amended and replaced with the following:

The Reporting Persons acquired the ADSs reported herein for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons expect that they will, from time to time, review their investment position in the ADSs or the Company and may, depending on the Company’s performance and other market conditions, increase or decrease their investment position in the ADSs or the Class A Ordinary Shares. The Reporting Persons may, from time to time, and subject to the agreement disclosed in this Item 4 and Item 6 below, make additional purchases of ADSs or Class A Ordinary Shares either in the open market or in privately-negotiated transactions, depending upon the Reporting Persons’ evaluation of the Company’s business, prospects and financial condition, the market for the ADSs or the Class A Ordinary Shares, other opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, general economic conditions, stock market conditions and other factors. Depending upon the factors noted above, the Reporting Persons may also decide, subject to the agreement disclosed in this Item 4 and Item 6 below, to hold or dispose of all or part of their investments in the ADSs or Class A Ordinary Shares and/or enter into derivative transactions with institutional counterparties with respect to the Company’s securities, including the ADSs or Class A Ordinary Shares.

On November 30, 2020, GASF delivered a preliminary non-binding proposal letter (the “Proposal”) to the Company expressing its interest in acquiring all of the outstanding ordinary shares of the Company, including Class A Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs, for US$2.32 in cash per Class A Ordinary Share, Class B ordinary share, par value US$0.001 per share (each, a “Class B Ordinary Share”), and ADS (other than those ADSs and ordinary shares already beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons). A copy of the Proposal is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2, and incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.

On October 12, 2022 the Reporting Persons, Fang Holdings Limited (the “Lead Investor”), Tianquan Mo (“Mr. Mo”), ACE Smart Investments Limited, Media Partner Technology Limited, Next Decade Investments Limited, Karistone Limited, Ateefa Limited, Deanhale Limited, Open Land Holdings Limited (each of such companies, a “Mr. Mo’s Affiliate”, and collectively, “Mr. Mo’s Affiliates”), True Knight Limited (“True Knight”) and Digital Link Investments Limited (“Digital Link”) (collectively, the “Consortium Members”), entered into a

Consortium Agreement (the “Consortium Agreement”). The Consortium Agreement provides, among other things, for (i) cooperation in negotiation with the Issuer with respect to the proposed transaction (the “Proposed Transaction”) (as defined below); (ii) cooperation in engaging advisors; and (iii) cooperation in preparing, negotiating and finalizing definitive documentation in connection with the Proposed Transaction. During the period continuing for twelve months after signing of the Consortium Agreement, subject to extension or early termination on the occurrence of certain termination events, each Consortium Member has agreed to work exclusively with the other Consortium Members with respect to the Proposed Transaction (including to vote all of its Shares, or cause all of its Shares to be voted, against any competing transaction and in favor of the Proposed Transaction at shareholders’ meetings) and not to (a) make a competing proposal or (b) acquire or dispose of any securities of the Company. A copy of the Consortium Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.3, and incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.

On October 13, 2022 the Consortium Members submitted a non-binding proposal (the “Updated Proposal”) to the Company’s board of directors expressing their interest in participating in the transaction initially proposed by the Lead Investor in the preliminary non-binding proposal letter dated August 23, 2022 (which is included as Exhibit 99.1 of the Form 6-K filed by the Company on August 23, 2022), to acquire all of the outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares of the Company (including Class A Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) not beneficially owned by the Consortium Members in a going-private transaction at a purchase price of US$0.84 per share or ADS.  The Proposed Transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including, among other things, the negotiation and execution of definitive documents and other related agreements mutually acceptable in form and substance to the Company and the Consortium Members. Neither the Company nor any Consortium Member is obligated to complete the Proposed Transaction, and a binding commitment with respect to the Proposed Transaction will result only from the execution of definitive documents, and then will be on the terms provided in such documentation. A copy of the Updated Proposal is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.4, and incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.

If the Proposed Transaction is effected, the Company’s ADSs will be delisted from NASDAQ and the Company’s obligation to file periodic reports under the Exchange Act will terminate. In addition, the consummation of the Proposed Transaction could result in one or more of the actions specified in Item 4(a)-(j) of Schedule 13D, including the acquisition or disposition of securities of the Company, a merger or other extraordinary transaction involving the Company, a change to the board of directors of the Company (as the surviving company in the merger), and a change in the Company’s memorandum and articles of association to reflect that the Company would become a privately held company.

Except as set forth in this Item 4 or Item 6 below, the Reporting Persons have no present plans or proposals that relate to, or that would result in, any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D of the Exchange Act.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

By virtue of the fact that (i) GAS Interholdco owns a majority of GASF’s voting shares, (ii) the GA Funds contributed the capital to GAS Interholdco to fund GASF’s purchases of the ADSs and may direct GAS Interholdco with respect to its shares of GASF, (iii) GAP (Bermuda) L.P. is the general partner of GenPar Bermuda and GenPar Bermuda is the general partner of GAP Bermuda III and GAP Bermuda IV, (iv) GA LP is the managing member of GAPCO III, GAPCO IV and GAPCO V and is the general partner of GAPCO CDA and (v) the members of the Management Committee control the investment decisions of GAP (Bermuda) L.P. and GA LP, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have the power to vote and direct the disposition of the ADSs owned of record by GASF. As a result, as of the date hereof, each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 10,122,769 ADSs, representing 10,122,769 Class A Ordinary Shares, calculated on the basis of the number of Class

A Ordinary Shares that may be acquired by the Reporting Persons within 60 days, or approximately 15.2% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares.

As a result of entering into the Consortium Agreement, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be members of a “group” with other parties to the Consortium Agreement that own Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B Ordinary Shares pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. However, each Reporting Person expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of the Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by any other reporting person(s) or other parties to the Consortium Agreement. Neither the filing of this Statement nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any of the Reporting Persons beneficially owns any Class A Ordinary Shares or any Class B Ordinary Shares that are beneficially owned by any other reporting person(s) or other parties to the Consortium Agreement. The Reporting Persons are only responsible for the information contained in this Statement and assume no responsibility for information contained in any other Schedules 13D filed by any other reporting person(s) or other parties to the Consortium Agreement.

Based on the Amendment No. 6 to Schedule 13D as jointly filed by the Lead Sponsor, Mr. Mo, Mr. Mo’s Affiliates, True Knight Limited, Digital Link Investments Limited, and certain of their affiliates named therein on October 13, 2022, the Consortium Members may be deemed to beneficially own in the aggregate 43,830,521 Class A Ordinary Shares and 25,391,206 Class B Ordinary Shares (including Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of options or vesting of restricted Class A Ordinary Shares within 60 days following October 13, 2022), which represents approximately 72.7% of the total number of outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i). Each Class B Ordinary Share is entitled to ten votes per share, whereas each Class A Ordinary Share is entitled to one vote per share. The Consortium Members may therefore be deemed to beneficially own the ordinary shares representing approximately 91.4% of the total voting power of the Company.

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

Item 6 is hereby amended and replaced with the following:

The information disclosed under Item 4 above is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 6.

Please see Item 5(a), which is hereby incorporated by reference. The GA Funds and the members of the GA Management Committee may, from time to time, consult among themselves and coordinate the voting and disposition of ADSs held of record by GASF as well as such other action taken on behalf of the Reporting Persons with respect to the ADSs held by the Reporting Persons as they deem to be in the collective interest of the Reporting Persons.

The Reporting Persons entered into a Joint Filing Agreement on the date hereof (the “Joint Filing Agreement”), pursuant to which they have agreed to file this Statement jointly in accordance with the provisions of Rule 13d-1(k)(1) under the Exchange Act. A copy of the Joint Filing Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

Except as described above or elsewhere in this Statement or incorporated by reference in this Statement, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) between the Reporting Persons or, to the best of their knowledge, any of the persons named in Schedule A hereto and any other person with respect to any securities of the Company, including, but not limited to, transfer or voting of any securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or losses, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
