1 Calculation is based on a total of 5,011,761,304 Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding as of March 17, 2021, as disclosed in the Mr. Huang Schedule 13G.
CUSIP No. 722304102 | Page 3 of 4 Pages |
This Amendment No. 4 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed on August 6, 2018, as amended by (i) Amendment No. 1 filed on February 22, 2019, (ii) Amendment No. 2 filed on April 3, 2020, and (iii) Amendment No. 3 filed on November 25, 2020 (the “Original Schedule 13D” and as further amended by this Amendment, the “Statement”), by Tencent Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands company, and Tencent Mobility Limited, a company limited by shares incorporated in Hong Kong and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Tencent Holdings Limited. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Original Schedule 13D. Except as otherwise stated in this Amendment, the Original Schedule 13D remains in full force and effect.
On March 17, 2021, the Issuer announced that Mr. Zheng Huang resigned from his position as Chairman of the Issuer’s Board of Directors and that the 1:10 super voting rights attached to Mr. Zheng Huang’s shares have been removed upon his relinquishing of executive responsibilities. As disclosed in the Mr. Huang Schedule 13G, Mr. Zheng Huang currently does not beneficially own any Class B ordinary shares, and his shares in the Issuer are all in the form of Class A Ordinary Shares. This Amendment is being filed to report the changes in the beneficial ownership percentage of each of Tencent Holdings Limited and Tencent Mobility Limited as a result of the foregoing.
Item 3. | Source and Amount of Funds or Other Considerations |
Item 3 is hereby amended and supplemented by inserting the following at the end of Item 3:
On February 19, 2021, certain investment funds in which a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tencent Holdings, Liao River Investment Limited, is a limited partner completed distributions-in-kind of certain Class A Ordinary Shares. Distribution Pool Limited, another wholly-owned subsidiary of Tencent Holdings, was designated by Liao River Investment Limited to receive and hold 62,586 ADSs (which represent 250,344 Class A Ordinary Shares) that were distributed to Liao River Investment Limited.
Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer |
Items 5(a) and (b) are hereby amended and restated by replacing them in their entirety with the following:
(a) and (b): As of the date of this Statement, Tencent Mobility beneficially owns 754,359,876 Class A Ordinary Shares, which represent approximately 15.1% of the total outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares of the Issuer.
Tencent Holdings may be deemed to beneficially own 783,468,116 Class A Ordinary Shares that are held by its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Tencent Mobility (754,359,876 shares), Chinese Rose (27,781,280 shares), Distribution Pool Limited (853,004 shares) and TPP Follow-On GP I, Ltd. (473,956 shares). Tencent Holdings may also be deemed to have sole voting and dispositive power over the securities held by them. The 783,468,116 Class A Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by Tencent Holdings represent approximately 15.6% of the total outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares of the Issuer.
The above calculation is based on a total of 5,011,761,304 Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding as of March 17, 2021, as disclosed in the Mr. Huang Schedule 13G.
Except as set forth in Items 5(a) and (b) above, none of the Reporting Persons or, to the best of knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the persons identified in Appendix A to this Statement beneficially owns any Class A Ordinary Shares.
Item 5(c) of the Statement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
(c) Other than the acquisitions by Distribution Pool Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tencent Holdings, in connection with distributions-in-kind on February 19, 2021, there have been no transactions in the Class A Ordinary Shares by the Reporting Persons during the past 60 days.
The information set forth in Item 3 above is also incorporated in this Item 5(c) by reference.
