Item 4.Purpose of Transaction

 

Item 4 of the Initial Statements is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following before the last paragraph thereof:

The Warrant Transaction constitutes a Dilutive Issuance under the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation of the Issuer dated August 17, 2023 (the “Second Amended Certificate of Designation”) in view of the lower issuance price of the Senior Convertible Preferred Shares than that of the Senior Convertible Preferred Shares issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement. Therefore, the conversion price of each Senior Convertible Preferred Share outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Warrant Transaction held by Astral and any other investors (including all Senior Convertible Preferred Shares issued to Astral and any other investors pursuant to the Subscription Agreement and in the 2022 Transaction) was reduced and adjusted to US$0.0457 per share with effect from August 17, 2023 by operation of and in accordance with the anti-dilution clause specified in the Second Amended Certificate of Desi gnation (the “Anti-dilution Adjustment”).

 

Item 5.Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

Item 5 (a-b) of the Initial Statements is hereby amended and restated with the following:

 

(a-b)      The information in the cover pages of this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference. The calculation of percentage ownership of the outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares is made pursuant to the requirements of Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) under the Exchange Act, which requires the assumption that Astral, but only Astral, has converted its Senior Convertible Preferred Shares and assumes that there is currently a total of 1,370,143,934 Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding (excluding 1,383,862 Class A Ordinary Shares issued to the Issuer’s depositary bank for bulk issuance of ADSs reserved for future issuances upon the exercise or vesting of awards granted under the Issuer’s share incentive plan).

 

The Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership of the Class A Ordinary Shares reported as beneficially owned herein includes (i) 1,641,137,856 Class A Ordinary Shares that may be acquired upon conversion of 218,467,812 Senior Convertible Preferred Shares held of record by Astral and acquired pursuant to the Subscription Agreement at a conversion price of US$0.0457 per share reflecting the Anti-dilution Adjustment, and (ii) 218,818,380 Class A Ordinary Shares that may be acquired upon conversion of 218,818,380 Senior Convertible Preferred Shares acquired by Astral on August 17, 2023.

 

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

 

Item 6 of the Initial Statements is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraphs to the end:

 

Amended and Restated Voting Agreement

 

On August 17, 2023, the Issuer, Astral and certain other parties entered into an Amended and Restated Voting Agreement (the “Amended Voting Agreement”) which replaced and superseded the Voting Agreement dated July 12, 2021 and the Voting Agreement dated July 27, 2022. Pursuant to the Amended Voting Agreement, the board of directors of the Issuer (the “Board”) shall consist of six directors or such other number of directors as approved by the Board (including the affirmative consent of the directors nominated by Astral and NIO Capital), among which, subject to certain limitations set forth in the Amended Voting Agreement, Astral shall be entitled to nominate one director, Astral and NIO Capital shall be collectively entitled to nominate two independent directors and Mr. Kun Dai or the Board shall be entitled to appoint the third independent director. Each party to the Amended Voting Agreement (other than the Issuer) has agreed that they shall vote the equity securities of the Issuer held by them at any general meeting of shareholders and take all other necessary actions, and cause their nominated directors to vote at any meeting of the Board and take all other necessary actions, in each case, in order to ensure the Board composition set forth above.

 

 

 

CUSIP No. 91818X108 13D Page 15 of 21

 

In addition, subject to certain exceptions, neither Mr. Kun Dai nor Xin Gao Group Limited (“Xin Gao”) may, on or before June 30, 2026, transfer, or publicly announce an intention to transfer, any equity securities in the Issuer held by Mr. Kun Dai, Xin Gao or their respective permitted transferees as of the date thereof, without the prior written consent of Astral and other investors.

 

Because of the arrangements in the Amended Voting Agreement, the parties to that agreement (excluding the Issuer) may be deemed to have formed a “group” for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act. The Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of any shares of the Issuer beneficially owned by any other person, and the Schedule 13D shall not be construed as acknowledging that the Reporting Persons for any or all purposes, beneficially own any shares of the Issuer beneficially owned by any other person. The aggregate beneficial ownership of the Reporting persons and the NIO Capital is 5,579,868,708 Class A Ordinary Shares. NIO Capital has separately reported its beneficial ownership on a Schedule 13D filed on August 23, 2023.

 

Registration Rights Agreement

 

On August 17, 2023, the Issuer and Astral entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with respect to the Class A Ordinary Shares and ADRs issuable to Astral upon conversion of its Senior Convertible Preferred Shares. The Registration Rights Agreement grants Astral customary shelf and piggyback registration rights.
