 we are no longer qualified as an emerging growth company but remain a foreign private issuer, we will continue to be exempt from the more stringent compensation disclosures required of public companies that are neither emerging growth companies nor foreign private issuers. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Class A Common Shares—As a foreign private issuer in the United States, we are exempt from certain U.S. proxy rules and disclosure requirements under the Exchange Act, which may afford less protection to holders of our Class A Common Shares than they would enjoy if we were a domestic U.S. company.” and “—As a foreign private issuer in the United States, we are permitted to, and will, rely on exemptions from certain Nasdaq corporate governance standards, which may afford less protection to holders of our Class A Common Shares.” Implication of Being a Controlled Company We will be a “controlled company,” as defined under the rules of the Nasdaq, since Darren Wang, our founder and CEO, will have 67.2% of the total voting power of the Company upon the consummation of this listing. For so long as we remain a controlled company under this definition, we are permitted to elect to rely, and currently intend to rely, on certain exemptions from corporate governance rules, including the exemption from the requirements that:

| • |     | a majority of our board of directors consist of “independent directors” as defined under the rules of 
 Nasdaq;                                                                                               |

| • |     | our director nominees be selected, or recommended for our board of directors’ selection, by a 
 nominating/governance committee comprised solely of independent directors; and                |

| • |     | the compensation of our executive officers be determined, or recommended to our board of directors for 
 determination, by a compensation committee comprised solely of independent directors.                  |
