At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Acquisition Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the Shareholders of the Company, each Key Executive Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be cancelled and cease to exist in exchange for the right to receive, without interest, such number of Parent Class V Ordinary Share that is equal to the Exchange Ratio. For avoidance of any doubt, from and after the Effective Time, any Person that was a holder of Company Shares (other than Dissenting Shares) shall thereafter cease to be a Shareholder of the Company and only have the right to receive the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration with respect to each Company Share held by it pursuant to Sections 3.1(a) and 3.1(b).

(ii) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Acquisition Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company, the Company Plan shall be terminated and the Assumed RSUs shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan of Parent (as defined below); provided that any references in the award documents for such Assumed RSUs to the Company or the Company Ordinary Shares shall instead mean Parent and Parent Class A Ordinary Shares, respectively.

(d) Conversion of Company Convertible Note. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Acquisition Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or holder of the Company Convertible Note, the Company Convertible Note outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be assumed by Parent and represents the rights to receive, on the same terms and conditions as applied to such Company Convertible Note, Parent Class A Ordinary Shares, except that the number of Parent Class A Ordinary Shares to be received upon conversion of the Company Convertible Note shall equal to the product of: (A) the number of Company Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Company Convertible Note, multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share.

(e) Dissenting Shares. Each Company Share (the “Dissenting Shares”) owned by holders of Company Shares who have validly exercised and not effectively withdrawn or lost their rights to dissent from the Acquisition Merger pursuant to the Cayman Companies Act (the “Dissenting Shareholders”) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the applicable payments set forth in Section 3.3, unless and until such Dissenting Shareholder effectively withdraws its demand for, or loses its rights to, dissent from the Acquisition Merger pursuant to the Cayman Companies Act with respect to any Dissenting Shares.

(f) Share Capital of Merger Sub.

(g) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.1, none of Surviving Company or any party hereto shall be liable to any person for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

(i) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any certificates for any Company Class A Ordinary Share shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent shall cause to be issued in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates and for each such share, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof; provided, however, that Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent with respect to the certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

(j) Adjustments. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, if at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding securities of the Company or Parent Ordinary Shares shall occur (other than the issuance of additional shares of share capital of the Company or Parent as permitted by this Agreement), including by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, share split (including a reverse share split), or combination, exchange, readjustment of shares, or similar transaction, or any share dividend or distribution paid in share, the Exchange Ratio and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such change; provided, however, that this sentence shall not be construed to permit Parent or the Company to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.
