Section 1.4 Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects specified in the Cayman Companies Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall succeed to and assume all the rights, property of every description, including choses in action, and the business, undertaking, goodwill, benefits, immunities and privileges, mortgages, charges or security interests and all contracts, obligations, claims, debts and liabilities of Merger Sub and DouYu in accordance with the Cayman Companies Law.

ARTICLE II.

CONVERSION OF SECURITIES

Section 2.1 Conversion of Securities. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any of the Parties or the DouYu Shareholders:

(a) Securities of Merger Sub. Each ordinary share, par value US$0.0001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable ordinary share, par value US$0.0001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation. Such conversion shall be effected by means

of the cancellation of such shares of Merger Sub, in exchange for the right to receive one such ordinary share of the Surviving Corporation. Such ordinary share shall be the only issued and outstanding share capital of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Merger Consideration.

(i) Other than as provided in Section 2.1(b)(ii), each ordinary share, par value US$0.0001 per share, of DouYu issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (individually, a “DouYu Share” and collectively, the “DouYu Shares”) (other than DouYu Shares represented by DouYu ADSs, the Excluded Shares and any Purported Dissenters Shares), shall be cancelled in exchange for the right of the holder of the relevant DouYu Share to receive 7.30 (the “Exchange Ratio”) validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable Class A ordinary shares, par value US$0.0001 per share, of Huya (“Huya Class A Shares”) (such number of shares, the “Per Share Merger Consideration”).

(ii) Each American depositary share of DouYu, each of which represents one-tenth (1/10) of a DouYu Share (the “DouYu ADSs”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, together with the DouYu Shares represented by such DouYu ADSs, shall be cancelled in exchange for the right of the holder of the relevant DouYu ADS, at the direction of the DouYu Depositary, to receive 0.730 American depositary shares of Huya, each of which represents one Huya Class A Share (the “Huya ADSs”) (such number of Huya ADSs, the “Per ADS Merger Consideration” and together with the Per Share Merger Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”).

As of the Effective Time, all DouYu Shares, including DouYu Shares represented by DouYu ADSs, shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of its holder, automatically be cancelled, shall no longer be issued or outstanding and shall cease to exist and the register of members of DouYu will be amended accordingly. Each DouYu Share (other than DouYu Shares represented by DouYu ADSs, the Excluded Shares and any Purported Dissenters Shares) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration and each DouYu Share represented by ten (10) DouYu ADSs, together with such DouYu ADSs, shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Per ADS Merger Consideration, as the case may be, without interest, and any Purported Dissenters Shares shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the applicable payments due and owing as referred to in Section 2.6.

(c) Cancellation of DouYu Shares. Notwithstanding Section 2.1(b), each DouYu Share and each DouYu ADS issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that is (i) issued to and held by DouYu Employee Benefit Trust (the “DouYu RSU Trust”), or (ii) repurchased and held by DouYu in treasury either in the form of DouYu Shares or DouYu ADSs (collectively, the “Excluded Shares”) shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of its holder, automatically be cancelled, shall no longer be issued or outstanding and shall cease to exist, and the register of members of DouYu will be amended accordingly, and no consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor.

(d) Untraceable Shareholders. The Per Share Merger Consideration shall not be issued or delivered to DouYu Shareholders who are untraceable unless and until, except as provided below, they notify the Exchange Agent of their current contact details prior to the Effective Time. A DouYu Shareholder will be deemed to be untraceable if (i) it, he or she has no registered address in the register of members maintained by DouYu, (ii) on the last two consecutive occasions on which a dividend has been paid by DouYu, a check payable to such shareholder either (A) has been sent to such shareholder and has been returned undelivered or has not been cashed or (B) has not been sent to such shareholder because on an earlier occasion a check for a dividend so payable has been returned undelivered, and in any such case no valid claim in respect thereof has been communicated in writing to DouYu or (iii) notice of the DouYu Shareholders Meeting has been sent to such shareholder and has been returned undelivered.

(e) Certain Adjustments. Notwithstanding any provision of this Article II to the contrary, if between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time the issued and outstanding DouYu Shares or Huya Class A Shares, as applicable, or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for DouYu Shares or Huya Class A Shares, as applicable, shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of the occurrence or record date of any share dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination, consolidation, readjustment, exchange of shares or similar transaction, the Per Share Merger Consideration and Per ADS Merger Consideration shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such share dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination, consolidation, readjustment, exchange of shares or similar transaction.

Section 2.2 Treatment of DouYu RSU Awards.

(a) As of the Effective Time, without any action on the part of the holders thereof, each DouYu RSU Award that is outstanding and unvested and held directly by the applicable grantee immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be assumed by Huya and converted into a restricted share unit award (an “Assumed RSU Award”) with respect to a number of Huya Class A Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the applicable number of DouYu Shares subject to such DouYu RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, rounded to the nearest whole share. Each Assumed RSU Award shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions as applied to the corresponding DouYu RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time (taking into account any changes thereto by reason of this Agreement or the Merger), except that (x) Huya shall take all necessary actions to reflect such changes to the terms and conditions applicable to the Assumed RSU Awards as set forth in Section 2.2(a) of the DouYu Disclosure Schedule, effective as of the Effective Time and (y) Huya may modify terms rendered inoperative by reason of the Merger or make such other adjustments as in the reasonable and good faith determination of Huya are appropriate to effectuate the administration of the Assumed RSU Award, provided that any such modification or adjustment shall not cause any adverse economic impact on the Assumed RSU Awards.

(b) As of the Effective Time, without any action on the part of the holders thereof, each DouYu RSU Award that is outstanding and vested and held directly by the applicable grantee immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive a number of Huya Class A Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the

applicable number of DouYu Shares subject to such DouYu RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, rounded to the nearest whole share. For the avoidance of doubt, each vested DouYu RSU Award that has exchanged for DouYu Shares or DouYu ADSs prior to the Effective Time shall be deemed cancelled and shall not be entitled to any right under this Section 2.2(b).

(c) DouYu shall take all actions necessary to (i) effect the measures contemplated in this Section 2.2, including but not limited to the adoption of any plan amendments, obtaining DouYu Board approval, and/or obtaining the necessary employee consents and (ii) to ensure that from and after the Effective Time neither Huya nor the Surviving Corporation will be required to issue DouYu Shares, other share capital of the Surviving Corporation or any other consideration (other than as required by this Section 2.2) to any Person pursuant to or in settlement of DouYu RSU Awards or any other awards granted under the DouYu Restricted Share Unit Scheme.

(d) Subject to the terms of this Section 2.2, at the Effective Time, Huya shall assume all the obligations of DouYu under the DouYu Restricted Share Unit Scheme with such amendment and modification as the Huya Board may decide, each Assumed RSU Award and the agreements evidencing the grants thereof, and the number and kind of shares available for issuance under the DouYu Restricted Share Unit Scheme shall be adjusted to reflect Huya Class A Shares and any other change that the Huya Board may decide, provided that any such modification or adjustment shall not cause any adverse economic impact on the Assumed RSU Awards.

Section 2.3 Exchange Fund.

(a) Subject to the conditions and terms of the deposit agreement, dated as of July 16, 2019 (the “DouYu Deposit Agreement”), entered into by and among DouYu, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “DouYu Depositary”), as depositary, and all holders and beneficial owners from time to time of DouYu ADSs, prior to the Effective Time, Huya shall, subject to DouYu’s prior approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), appoint a commercial bank or trust to act as exchange agent hereunder for the purpose of canceling DouYu Shares and DouYu ADSs in exchange for the Per Share Merger Consideration and the Per ADS Merger Consideration, as applicable (the “Exchange Agent”).

(b) At or prior to the Effective Time, Huya shall (i) deposit with, allot and issue to, the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of DouYu Shares (other than holders of Excluded Shares and Purported Dissenters Shares) a number of Huya Class A Shares sufficient to settle the Per Share Merger Consideration provided in Section 2.1(b) and (ii) cause Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as depositary (the “Huya Depositary”), to deposit with, allot and issue to, the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of DouYu ADSs (other than holders of Excluded Shares) a number of Huya ADSs sufficient to settle the Per ADS Merger Consideration provided in Section 2.1(b). The Huya ADSs shall be issued in accordance with the deposit agreement, dated as of May 10, 2018 (the “Huya Deposit Agreement”), entered into by and among Huya, the Huya Depositary and all holders and beneficial owners from time to time of the Huya ADSs. The Huya Class A Shares and Huya ADSs deposited with, allotted and issued to, the Exchange Agent are collectively referred to as the “Exchange Fund”.

Section 2.4 Exchange Procedures.

(a) Holders of DouYu Shares: (i) promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event within five (5) Business Days thereafter), the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each registered holder of DouYu Shares (other than the DouYu Depositary and holders of Excluded Shares and Purported Dissenters Shares) (A) a form of letter of transmittal (which shall specify how the delivery of the Merger Consideration to such registered holders of DouYu Shares shall be effected) and (B) instructions for effecting the surrender of any and all share certificates which have been issued representing such DouYu Shares (the “Certificates”). Each registered holder of DouYu Shares (including DouYu Shares not represented by a Certificate (“Uncertificated Shares”)), excluding for the avoidance of doubt the DouYu Depositary and holders of Excluded Shares and Purported Dissenters Shares, shall be entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, without interest, for each DouYu Share (including DouYu Shares formerly represented by a Certificate and Uncertificated Shares) cancelled at the Effective Time multiplied by (x) the number of DouYu Shares represented by such Certificate (or declaration of loss or non-receipt and, if applicable, indemnity in the required form and in compliance with Section 2.9) or (y) the number of Uncertificated Shares, as the case may be, provided that each holder of a Certificate shall be required to surrender such Certificate (or a declaration of loss or non-receipt and, if applicable, indemnity in the required form and in compliance with Section 2.9) to the Exchange Agent together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled; and (ii) if the Per Share Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the cancelled DouYu Shares are registered, it shall be a condition of payment that (A) a share transfer form in respect of DouYu Shares represented by the Certificate so surrendered (if any) shall be in a proper form to transfer the relevant DouYu Shares and (B) the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of such cancelled DouYu Shares and shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Tax either has been paid or is not applicable. Upon the cancellation of any DouYu Shares at the Effective Time, the registered holder of such cancelled DouYu Shares shall have no further rights in respect of such cancelled DouYu Shares, and each Certificate in respect of such cancelled DouYu Shares shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Article II, without interest.

(b) Holders of DouYu ADSs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 2.4(a) above, promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event within five (5) Business Days thereafter), the Surviving Corporation and the Exchange Agent shall mail to the DouYu Depositary (A) a form of letter of transmittal (which shall specify how the delivery of the Per ADS Merger Consideration to (or to the order of) the DouYu Depositary shall be effected); and (B) instructions for effecting the surrender of any and all Certificates representing DouYu Shares in the form of DouYu ADSs. The DouYu Depositary shall be entitled to receive the Per ADS Merger Consideration, without interest, for each DouYu Share held by the DouYu Depositary in respect of which a DouYu ADS has been issued (the “Aggregate ADS Payment”), provided that the DouYu Depositary shall be required to surrender such Certificates it holds to the Exchange Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed and

completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, and the Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Promptly after the payment of the Aggregate ADS Payment (and in any event within five (5) Business Days thereafter), and subject to the DouYu Deposit Agreement, the Surviving Corporation and the Exchange Agent shall cause the DouYu Depositary to mail to each registered holder of DouYu ADSs (other than holders of Excluded Shares) (X) a form of letter of transmittal (which shall specify how the delivery of the Per ADS Merger Consideration to the registered holders of DouYu ADSs shall be effected); and (Y) instructions for effecting the surrender of any and all ADRs (as such term is defined in the DouYu Deposit Agreement) evidencing DouYu ADSs. Each holder registered on the register of ADRs of DouYu of such DouYu ADSs cancelled at the Effective Time shall be entitled to receive the Per ADS Merger Consideration for each DouYu ADS cancelled at the Effective Time multiplied by the number of DouYu ADSs held by such holder, provided that each holder of an ADR shall be required to surrender such ADR to the DouYu Depositary together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the DouYu Depositary, and the ADRs so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled pursuant to the DouYu Deposit Agreement. Each ADR in respect of such cancelled DouYu ADS shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Per ADS Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Article II. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2.4(b), DouYu ADS Holders shall pay the DouYu ADS cancellation fee payable to DouYu Depositary and the Huya ADS issuance fee payable to the Huya Depositary.

(c) Settlement of Fractional Securities. No fractional Huya Class A Shares or Huya ADSs shall be issued to holders of DouYu Shares and DouYu ADSs as part of the total Merger Consideration. The Exchange Agent shall (i) receive all Huya ADSs not used for share exchange in the Merger because of the existence of fractional Huya Class A Shares or Huya ADSs and (ii) sell such Huya ADSs on behalf of the holders of fractional Huya Class A Shares or Huya ADSs on the New York Stock Exchange and pass on the net proceeds due and payable to such holders of DouYu Shares and DouYu ADSs in cash. Each holder of DouYu Shares or DouYu ADSs (except the holders of the Excluded Shares and Purported Dissenters Shares) who would have received fractional Huya Class A Shares or Huya ADSs but for this Section 2.4(c) shall receive a cash payment representing such holder’s proportionate interest in the net proceeds from the sale by the Exchange Agent pursuant to this Section 2.4(c).

(d) Arrangements with Depositaries. Each of Huya and DouYu will use reasonable efforts to put into place appropriate arrangements with the Huya Depositary and the DouYu Depositary to give effect to this Article II.

Section 2.5 Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights. Subject to Section 2.6, the Merger Consideration paid in respect of the cancellation of DouYu Shares and DouYu ADSs in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to DouYu Shares (including DouYu Shares represented by Certificates and Uncertificated Shares) or ADRs. At the Effective Time, the register of members of DouYu and the register of ADRs of DouYu shall be closed, and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers on the register of members of the Surviving Corporation of DouYu Shares or on the register of ADRs of DouYu of DouYu ADSs that were issued and outstanding

immediately prior to the Effective Time, provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Surviving Corporation from maintaining a register of members in respect of its ordinary shares after the Effective Time and from registering transfers of such ordinary shares after the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, (i) the holders of DouYu Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) subject to the DouYu Deposit Agreement, the holders of ADRs that evidenced ownership of DouYu ADSs outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall cease to have any rights with respect to such DouYu Shares or ADRs, except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable Law. Subject to the last sentence of Section 2.6(a), if, at any time after the Effective Time, Certificates or ADRs are presented to the Surviving Corporation, or the DouYu Depositary, where applicable, for any reason, they shall be cancelled as provided in this Article II.

Section 2.6 Purported Dissenting Shares.

(a) The Merger shall be governed by Section 239 of the Cayman Companies Law (“Section 239”) and none of the rights of dissenters under Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Law (“Section 238”) shall be available in respect of the Merger; provided, however, that if a DouYu Shareholder (such DouYu Shareholder, a “Purported Dissenting Shareholder”) provides any notice of objection, notice of dissent, written demand for appraisal or takes any other action that purports to exercise any dissenter rights pursuant to Section 238, such Purported Dissenting Shareholder shall not be entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration with respect to DouYu Shares owned by such Purported Dissenting Shareholder (the “Purported Dissenters Shares”) unless and until either (i) such Purported Dissenting Shareholder shall have withdrawn such objection, dissent, demand or other action in such manner as would render such Purported Dissenting Shareholder to be deemed to have effectively withdrawn its dissent from the Merger if Section 238 were to apply in such case, or (ii) a court of the Cayman Islands with competent jurisdiction either strikes out the petition for determination of fair value under Section 238 on the grounds that Section 239 applies to the Merger, or makes a declaration, or otherwise grants a final and non-appealable judgement confirming, that Section 239 applies to the Merger. If a Purported Dissenting Shareholder withdraws its demand for dissent from the Merger in such manner as would render such Purported Dissenting Shareholder to be deemed to have effectively withdrawn its dissent from the Merger, or fails to validly exercise its dissenter rights, in each case as if Section 238 were to apply in such case, then the DouYu Shares held by such Purported Dissenting Shareholder shall cease to be Purported Dissenters Shares.

(b) With respect to each Purported Dissenters Share, the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive: (A) in the event a Cayman Islands court either (i) strikes out the petition for determination of fair value under Section 238 on the grounds that Section 239 applies to the Merger, or (ii) makes a declaration, or otherwise grants a final and non-appealable judgment confirming, that Section 239 applies to the Merger, the Per Share Merger Consideration, without interest; (B) in the event a Cayman Islands court either (i) grants a final and non-appealable judgment determining the fair value of the Purported Dissenters Share required to be paid to the Purported Dissenting Shareholder under Section 238, or (ii) makes a declaration that Section 239 does not apply to the Merger, only the payment resulting from the procedure in Section 238; provided that, in the event that a petition under Section 238(9) is not filed within the time limits specified therein (subject to any additional time periods resulting from any stay of proceedings

under Section 238 which may be ordered by the Cayman Islands court), then such holder shall receive the Per Share Merger Consideration with respect to each Purported Dissenters Share, without interest. DouYu shall promptly give Huya (i) copies of notices of objection, notices of dissent, any written demands for appraisal, attempted withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments that are received by DouYu relating to any purported exercise of rights to dissent from the Merger by any Purported Dissenting Shareholder and (ii) the opportunity to direct or approve all offers, negotiations and proceedings with respect to such purported exercise of dissenter rights. DouYu shall not, except with the prior written consent of Huya, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any purported exercise by a shareholder of its rights to dissent from the Merger, any demands for appraisal, offer to settle or settle any such demands or approve any withdrawal of any such demands.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, Huya shall appoint a qualified trustee to act as trustee (the “Trustee”) for the purpose of holding the Per Share Merger Consideration that would otherwise have been payable to the Purported Dissenting Shareholders in exchange for the cancellation of each Purported Dissenters Share held by it but for the purported exercise of dissenter rights by such Purported Dissenting Shareholders. At the Effective Time, Huya shall deposit with, allot and issue to, the Trustee, for the benefit of the Purported Dissenting Shareholders a number of Huya Class A Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of Purported Dissenters Shares as of the Effective Time by (ii) the Exchange Ratio. Huya shall cause the Trustee to (a) hold for the benefit of each Purported Dissenting Shareholder the Per Share Merger Consideration with respect to each Purported Dissenters Share held by it until such Purported Dissenting Shareholder becomes entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.6(b), and (b) promptly after such Purported Dissenting Shareholder becomes so entitled, transfer the Per Share Merger Consideration to such Purported Dissenting Shareholders with respect to each Purported Dissenters Share held by it in accordance with the same procedure and subject to the same terms and conditions as provided in Section 2.4, as if applied to such transfer mutatis mutandis; provided that in the event such Purported Dissenting Shareholder becomes entitled to receive consideration other than the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.6(b), the corresponding Huya Shares held by the Trustee shall be returned to the Surviving Corporation and becomes properties of the Surviving Corporation, or disposed of on behalf of the Surviving Corporation with the proceeds from such disposal paid to the Surviving Corporation.

Section 2.7 Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the holders of DouYu Shares and DouYu ADSs (other than the Excluded Shares and the Purported Dissenters Shares) at the date nine (9) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation on the instruction of the Surviving Corporation, and any holder of DouYu Shares and DouYu ADS (other than holders of Excluded Shares and Purported Dissenters Shares) who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation and Huya (subject to this Agreement and abandoned property, escheat and similar laws) for the Per Share Merger Consideration or the Per ADS Merger Consideration, as the case may be, to which such holder is entitled, without any interest on any portion thereof. Any such portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by such holders of DouYu Shares and DouYu ADSs at such time at which amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity shall, to the

extent permitted by Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation or its designee, free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

Section 2.8 No Liability. None of Huya, Merger Sub, DouYu, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any Merger Consideration from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

Section 2.9 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit or declaration of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation or by the Exchange Agent, an indemnity or the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Exchange Agent will deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration with respect to DouYu Shares formerly represented thereby pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 2.10 Withholding Rights. Each of the Surviving Corporation, DouYu, Huya, the Exchange Agent and their respective Affiliates shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it reasonably determines is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provisions of Tax Law of the United States, the PRC, or other applicable jurisdictions. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority by the Surviving Corporation, DouYu, Huya, the Exchange Agent or their respective Affiliates, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made. A Party that becomes aware prior to the time of payment that it must deduct or withhold amounts from such payment pursuant to this Agreement (other than in respect of amounts treated as compensation) shall promptly notify the other Party of such requirement, and the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to minimize any such required deduction or withholding.

Section 2.11 Agreement of Fair Value. Huya, Merger Sub and DouYu respectively agree that the Per Share Merger Consideration represents not less than the fair value of DouYu Shares for the purposes of Section 238(8) of the Cayman Companies Law.

regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”) (such forms, reports and documents so filed, furnished or provided, including any amendments thereto, collectively, the “DouYu SEC Reports”). Each of the DouYu SEC Reports, as of its filing date and except to the extent corrected by a subsequent DouYu SEC Report, has complied or, if filed or furnished after the date hereof and before the Effective Time, will comply, as to form in all material respects with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, each as in effect on the dates such forms, reports and documents were filed or amended, as the case may be. No Subsidiary of DouYu is subject to the reporting requirements of Sections 13(a) and 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The DouYu SEC Reports did not contain, when filed or furnished (or, if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the date hereof, on the date of such filing), any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated or incorporated by reference therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

Neither DouYu nor, to DouYu’s knowledge, DouYu’s independent registered public accounting firm, has identified or been made aware of “significant deficiencies” or “material weaknesses” (as defined by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board) in the design or operation of DouYu’s internal controls and procedures which could reasonably adversely affect DouYu’s ability to record, process, summarize or report financial data, in each case which has not been subsequently remediated.

(i) any adoption of, resolution to approve or petition or similar proceeding or order in relation to, a plan of complete or partial liquidation, dissolution, scheme of arrangement, merger, consolidation, restructuring, recapitalization or other reorganization of DouYu or any of its Subsidiaries;

(h) For the avoidance of doubt, if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.2(b) or Section 9.2(a) due to failure to satisfy the closing condition under Section 8.1(d), neither Huya nor DouYu is under any obligation to pay the Termination Fee.

(i) For the avoidance of doubt, Tencent is not entitled to receive the No Vote Termination Fee or the Termination Fee from either Huya or DouYu.
