To: Astral Success Limited
Reference is hereby made to: (i) the Agreement in relation to Amendment to and Exercise of Warrants Issued by Uxin Limited dated June 30, 2023 by and among the Company, Astral Success Limited and Alpha Wealth Global Limited, as amended and supplemented from time to time (the “Warrant Agreement”); (ii) the Share Subscription Agreement dated June 14, 2021 by and among the Company, Astral Success Limited and Abundant Grace Investment Limited, as amended and supplemented from time to time (the “2021 SSA”); and (iii) the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation of the Company dated [*], 2023 (the “COD”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Warrant Agreement and the COD.
Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, we have issued certain senior convertible preferred shares of par value of US$0.0001 per share (the “Senior Preferred Shares”) to [Astral Success Limited at US$0.0457 per share (equivalent to US$1.37 per ADS) in consideration of US$10,000,000 and/or Alpha Wealth Global Limited at US$0.0457 per share (equivalent to US$1.37 per ADS) in consideration of US$11,964,754] on [*], 2023 (the “New Transaction”).
Pursuant to the 2021 SSA, we have issued 218,467,812 Senior Preferred Shares to Astral Success Limited at US$0.3433 per share (equivalent to US$10.3 per ADS) and the initial Conversion Price of such Senior Preferred Shares was US$0.3433 per share (equivalent to US$10.3 per ADS). As we notified you in July 2022, the Conversion Price of such Senior Preferred Shares was adjusted to US$0.14 per share (equivalent to US$4.2 per ADS) as a result of a Dilutive Issuance occurred in July 2022.
Pursuant to Section 7(b) of the COD, the New Transaction constitutes a Dilutive Issuance under Section 7(b) of the COD in view of lower issuance price in the New Transaction than the conversion price prior to such transaction, and, therefore, we are delivering this notice to confirm that the Conversion Price of each Senior Preferred Share outstanding at the time of the consummation of the New Transaction held by Astral Success Limited as specified in the paragraph above shall be reduced and adjusted to US$0.0457 per share (equivalent to US$1.37 per ADS) with effect from [*], 2023 by operation of and in accordance with Section 7(b) of the COD, and the Company shall issue [1,641,137,856] Class A Ordinary Shares (equivalent to [54,704,595] ADSs) to Astral Success Limited upon conversion of all of the Senior Preferred Shares held by it prior to the closing of the New Transaction pursuant to Section 6 of the COD.
The Company further undertakes to include the additional Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Senior Preferred Shares held by Astral Success Limited as a result of the anti-dilution adjustment confirmed hereunder in the Form F-3 to be amended by the Company in connection with the New Transaction, in accordance with paragraph (a) of section 2.2 [Piggyback Registrations] of the registration rights agreement entered with Astral Success Limited in connection with the 2021 SSA.
This Notice shall not become effective until the consummation of the New Transaction.
Yours Sincerely,

Dilutive Issuance Notice
[*], 2023
To: Xx. XXX Xxx
Reference is hereby made to: (i) the Agreement in relation to Amendment to and Exercise of Warrants Issued by Uxin Limited dated June 30, 2023 by and among the Company, Astral Success Limited and Alpha Wealth Global Limited, as amended and supplemented from time to time (the “Warrant Agreement”); (ii) the Share Subscription Agreement dated June 14, 2021 by and among the Company, Astral Success Limited and Abundant Grace Investment Limited, as amended and supplemented from time to time (the “2021 SSA”); and (iii) the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation of the Company dated [*], 2023 (the “COD”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Warrant Agreement and the COD.
Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, we have issued certain senior convertible preferred shares of par value of US$0.0001 per share (the “Senior Preferred Shares”) to [Astral Success Limited at US$0.0457 per share (equivalent to US$1.37 per ADS) in consideration of US$10,000,000 and/or Alpha Wealth Global Limited at US$0.0457 per share (equivalent to US$1.37 per ADS) in consideration of US$11,964,754] on [*], 2023 (the “New Transaction”).
Pursuant to the 2021 SSA, we have issued 14,564,520 Senior Preferred Shares to Xx. XXX Xxx at US$0.3433 per share (equivalent to US$10.3 per ADS) and the initial Conversion Price of such Senior Preferred Shares was US$0.3433 per share (equivalent to US$10.3 per ADS). As we notified you in July 2022, the Conversion Price of such Senior Preferred Shares was adjusted to US$0.14 per share (equivalent to US$4.2 per ADS) as a result of a Dilutive Issuance occurred in July 2022.
Pursuant to Section 7(b) of the COD, the New Transaction constitutes a Dilutive Issuance under Section 7(b) of the COD in view of lower issuance price in the New Transaction than the conversion price prior to such transaction, and, therefore, we are delivering this notice to confirm that the Conversion Price of each Senior Preferred Share outstanding at the time of the consummation of the New Transaction held by Xx. XXX Xxx as specified in the paragraph above shall be reduced and adjusted to US$0.0457 per share (equivalent to US$1.37 per ADS) with effect from [*], 2023 by operation of and in accordance with Section 7(b) of the COD, and the Company shall issue [109,409,190] Class A Ordinary Shares (equivalent to [3,646,973] ADSs) to Xx. XXX Xxx upon conversion of all of the Senior Preferred Shares held by him prior to the closing of the New Transaction pursuant to Section 6 of the COD.
The Company further undertakes to include the additional Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Senior Preferred Shares held by Xx. XXX Xxx as a result of the anti-dilution adjustment confirmed hereunder in the Form F-3 to be amended by the Company in connection with the New Transaction, in accordance with paragraph (a) of section 2.2 [Piggyback Registrations] of the registration rights agreement entered with Xx. XXX Xxx in connection with the 2021 SSA.
This Notice shall not become effective until the consummation of the New Transaction.
Yours Sincerely,
