This Stipulation of Settlement (the "<u>Stipulation</u>"), dated October 25, 2025, is entered into between and among the parties to the above-captioned action (the "<u>Action</u>"), by and through their respective counsel, namely: (i) Plaintiff Oasis Investment II Master Fund Ltd. ("<u>Oasis</u>" or "<u>Plaintiff</u>"), on behalf of themselves as well as derivatively in the right of and for the benefit of nominal defendant Fang Holdings Limited (the "<u>Fang</u>" or "<u>Company</u>") and (ii) Defendants Vincent Tianquan Mo ("<u>Mo</u>"), Richard Jiangong Dai ("<u>Dai</u>"), ACE Smart Investments Limited ("<u>Ace</u>"), Next Decade Investments Limited ("<u>Next Decade</u>"), Media Partner Technology Limited ("<u>Media Partner</u>"), and True Knight Limited ("<u>True Knight</u>") (together, "<u>Defendants</u>"). Plaintiff, Company, and Defendants are referred to herein individually as "<u>Party</u>" and collectively, the "<u>Parties</u>". This Stipulation states all the terms of settlement and resolution of the Action and is intended by the Parties to fully and finally compromise, resolve, discharge, and settle the Released Claims, as defined herein, subject to the approval of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, Commercial Division (the "<u>Court</u>").

**I.**  **<u>Procedural Background of the Action</u>** 

**WHEREAS PLAINTIFF ALLEGES**,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. Mo is Fang's founder, controlling shareholder, and served as executive chairman of Fang's board of directors from 1999 to February 28, 2022, and from November 1, 2024, to the present;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. On June 11, 2019, Company completed a spin-off of its wholly owned and controlled subsidiary, China Index Holdings Limited ("<u>CIH</u>"). Through the spin-off, CIH became a new public company traded in New York on the NASDAQ stock exchange. Through the spin-off, Fang shareholders received CIH Class A or Class B common shares in proportion to the Fang Class A or class B common shares they owned—one CIH share for every Fang share owned (or the equivalent thereof in the form of an American Depositary Share ("<u>ADS</u>"), the mechanism through which both Fang and CIH traded on U.S. exchanges) as of the record date for the distribution;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C. Through the spin-off of CIH, Mo, through his affiliates, including Next Decade and Media Partner, received 7,359,473 CIH Class A shares and 25,391,206 CIH Class B shares. As a result, Mo, through his affiliates, owned a 34.1% economic stake in CIH and 80.6% of voting power in CIH, and thus became the controlling stakeholder for both Fang and CIH, with the same proportionate interest in each;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;D. On December 24, 2019, Fang and Next Decade and Media Partner, entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement ("<u>SPA</u>"). That agreement gave Fang the option to buy up to 15 million aggregate CIH Class A shares and CIH Class B shares from Next Decade and Media Partner within the next twelve months at a fixed price of $5.99 per share;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;E. On December 27, 2019, Fang exercised part of its option under the SPA and purchased 5,000,000 CIH shares from Next Decade and Media Partner at $5.99 per share for a total price of $29.95 million. CIH's NASDAQ closing price of December 26, 2019 was $3.09 per CIH ADS;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;F. On June 23, 2020, Fang again exercised part of its option under the SPA and purchased additional 8,549,249 CIH shares from Next Decade and Media Partner, for a total price of $51.21 million. CIH's NASDAQ closing price of June 22, 2019 was $3.10 per CIH ADS;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;G. On every consecutive open NASDAQ trading day between May 29, 2020 and June 23, 2020, except for June 12, Fang purchased various amounts of CIH ADS on the NASDAQ exchange resulting in the total acquisition of 1,872,836 CIH ADS. CIH's NASDAQ closing price on May 28, 2020 before Fang's series of open market purchases was $1.18 per CIH ADS;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;H. On May 3, 2021, Fang filed a SEC Form 12b-25, signed by Mo, that indicated that Fang would not timely file its Form 20-F annual report for the year ending December 31, 2020. Fang failed to timely file its Form 20-F within the prescribed 12b-25 grace period;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I. On November 17, 2021, Fang announced that it had received notice from NYSE Regulation indicating that NYSE's Listings Operations Committee agreed to an additional trading period through April 25, 2022 for Fang to complete and file its fiscal year 2020 Form 20- F;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;J. On February 28, 2022, Dai replaced Mo as Fang's Executive Chairman;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;K. On April 25, 2022, Fang, in a public filing signed by Mo, announced that it had received notice from NYSE Regulation indicating that NYSE's Listings Operations Committee had agreed to provide Fang with an additional trading period through May 17, 2022;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;L. Fang failed to file its Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020 by the May 17, 2022 filing deadline. As a result, the NYSE suspended trading of Fang's ADS on the NYSE on May 18, 2022, and then delisted Fang from the NYSE change exchange on June 2, 2022. Between May 3, 2021 and June 2, 2022, Fang's ADS share price fell from $11.61 to $1.90;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;M. In between May 3, 2021, when Fang first indicated that it would not be timely filing its annual report and its June 2, 2022 delisting, Fang did not make any of its required public financial disclosures;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;N. In between May 3, 2021, when Fang first indicated that it would not be timely filing its annual report and its June 2, 2022 delisting, Mo, through ACE, acquired 22,281,344 Fang Class A common shares along with 11,669,921 CIH Class A common shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;O. In between May 3, 2021, when Fang first indicated that it would not be timely filing its annual report and its June 2, 2022 delisting, Dai, through True Knight, purchased 8,801,142 CIH Class A common shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;P. Collectively, between May 3, 2021 and June 2, 2022, Mo and Dai, through Ace and True Knight respectively, acquired 20,471,063 million CIH Class A common shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Q. On August 23, 2022, Mo and Dai initiated a take-private transaction of CIH that was ultimately consummated in a short-form merger on April 17, 2023. Through the take private and merger, CIH became a wholly owned subsidiary of CIH Holdings Limited. As part of that transaction, pre-existing CIH shares, including those held by ACE, True Knight, and other take-private participants, were cancelled and ceased to exist on a share for share basis. ACE and True Knight now hold 20,471,063 shares of CIH Holdings Limited.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**B.**  **<u>SETTLEMENT CONSIDERATION AND SCOPE OF SETTLEMENT</u>** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Within sixty (60) days of the Stipulation Date, or by December 24, 2025, Defendants will pay $20,000,000 USD (twenty million U.S. dollars), and within ninety days of the Stipulation Date, or by January 26, 2026, Defendants will pay another $10,000,000 USD (ten million U.S. dollars) (collectively, the "<u>Monetary Consideration</u>") into the Settlement Account held in trust under the control of the Administrator, subject to the terms of his Stipulation, to create the common settlement fund (the "<u>Settlement Account</u>") from which disbursements shall be made, subject to Court approval, under the direction of the Administrator. To the extent that either Monetary Consideration payment is not made in full by the applicable respective deadline, a 1% per month penalty will apply to the unpaid portion. The Parties shall cooperate in good faith with respect to the establishment of the Settlement Account. Plaintiff's Counsel shall retain the Administrator to, subject to the jurisdiction, supervision, direction, and approval of the Court, oversee the administration and distribution of the Net Monetary Distribution from the Settlement Account and shall have all necessary authority, without any further action of any Party, to direct disbursements out of the Settlement Account solely in accordance with this Stipulation and/or Final Order and Judgment. Defendants and Defendants' counsel shall have the right to inspect the books and records of the Settlement Account. For the avoidance of doubt, Fang shall not directly contribute to the Monetary Consideration or directly make any payment of funds into the Settlement Account. The Parties understand and agree, however, that Defendants, in order to help fund the payment of the Monetary Consideration, may: (a) dispose of certain of their interests in Fang shares and/or ADSs and/or (b) participate in a dividend payout from Fang, following an asset disposition, solely to the extent that Fang makes the dividend payout to all shareholders and ADS holders on a pro rata basis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. As soon as practical after the Effective Date, but no later than twenty (20) days of the Effective Date, Defendants shall deliver 20,471,063 shares of CIH Holdings Limited (the "<u>CIH Consideration</u>") to Fang. Confirmation of the delivery of the CIH Consideration will be provided: (a) by Fang within four (4) Business Days of the delivery by making a public filing evidencing the transfer of the 20,471,063 shares from Defendants to Fang and; (b) by Defendants providing Plaintiff's Counsel with satisfactory evidence of the transfer of the CIH Consideration to Fang on CIH Holdings Limited's Cayman Islands Company share registry. Defendants represent and warrant that CIH Holdings Limited currently, and at the time the CIH Consideration is transferred to Fang, owns and will own 100% of the outstanding equity in CIH, and will provide satisfactory proof thereof to Plaintiff and Plaintiff's Counsel at the when the CIH Consideration is delivered to Fang.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. Fang shall implement the following Corporate Governance Changes that will remain in effect for a minimum of five (5) years following the Effective Date:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. Appoint a new fully independent outside director.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. Appoint a Special Committee including at least one fully independent outside director for any related
party or insider party transactions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. The Settlement Account shall be the sole source of payment of any and all Settlement Fund Expenses and any settlement payments to Fang Minority Shareholders as provided herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. The Administrator shall, as soon as practicable after the Record Date and after any Fang Minority Shareholder has had the opportunity to provide notice of any discrepancies or errors to the Company and the Administrator, pursuant to paragraph 27 below, distribute the Net Monetary Distribution on a pro rata basis to Fang Minority Shareholders as determined as of the Record Date in accordance with paragraphs 7 and 8 below. No later than ten (10) Business Days after the Record Date, Fang or its transfer agent will provide the Administrator (and/or Plaintiff's counsel) a list of record Fang Minority Shareholders according to the Register as of the Record Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. The Net Monetary Distribution payable to Fang Minority Shareholders who are Fang ADS holders as of the Record Date shall be transferred by the Administrator to the Depositary for further disbursement in accordance with Fang's existing deposit agreement with the Depositary.<sup>2</sup> Fang shall cooperate with the Depositary, as necessary, to ensure that funds distributable to ADS holders are distributed as promptly as practicable thereafter. Fang, Defendants, D&O Releasees and the Excluded Fang Shareholders, and the Administrator shall inform and instruct the Depositary that Monetary Consideration being paid to Fang Minority Shareholders shall only be made to the Fang Minority Shareholders. In order to facilitate the exclusion of Defendants, D&O Releasees and Excluded Fang Shareholders from the Net Monetary Distribution, each Defendant, D&O Releasee and Excluded Fang Shareholder shall, prior to the Record Date either: (1)move its Fang ADSs (or cause its bank, broker, or other nominee to move its Fang ADSs) into a "Direct Registration" position in his, her, or its name on the register of Fang ADSs maintained by the Depositary and provide written confirmation thereof to Fang and the Depositary, with upon request by the Depositary (or DTCC to the extent used), a reasonable and customary indemnification letter in favor of the Depositary/DTCC; or (2) exchange its Fang ADSs for common shares of Fang registered on Fang's Registry in his, her, or its name.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. The Net Monetary Distribution payable to Fang Minority Shareholders who are record shareholders of Fang Class A or B common shares as of the Record Date shall be paid directly by the Administrator or through third-party payment entities, as directed by the Administrator, from the Settlement Account. Defendants, D&O Releasees and Excluded Fang Shareholders who are record shareholders as of the Record Date, shall not be entitled to participate in or receive any portion of the Monetary Consideration, including the Net Monetary Distribution. Fang's Register as of the Record Date shall control the Administrator's disbursement of the Net Monetary Distribution payable to Fang Minority Shareholders (subject to the terms of this Stipulation) except to the extent that any record shareholder provides written notice of any discrepancies or errors to Fang and the Administrator within thirty (30) days of the Notice. If such Fang Minority Shareholder disputes the number of Class A or Class B common shares held by it as reflected in the Register, the Administrator shall disburse to that Fang Minority Shareholder its portion of the Net Monetary Distribution that is undisputed (if any) and hold the remainder until such time that the record shareholder's challenge to the Register is resolved under applicable law. The Administrator shall pay or direct the payment of each of the record shareholders as of the Record Date, excluding the Defendants, D&O Releasees and Excluded Fang Shareholders, such record shareholder's pro rata portion of the Net Monetary Distribution.

<sup>2</sup> In the event such distribution through J.P. Morgan is impracticable, distributions shall be made through the Depository Trust Clearinghouse & Company ("<u>DTCC</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. Regardless of any interest that Defendants, D&O Releasees and the Excluded Fang Shareholders hold in Fang, whether through ADSs, ordinary Class A or Class B shares, or otherwise, Defendants, D&O Releasees and the Excluded Fang Shareholders shall not be entitled to participate in or receive any portion of the Monetary Consideration, including of the Net Monetary Distribution. If any Defendant, D&O Releasee or Excluded Fang Shareholders receives any payment from the Settlement Account such Defendant, D&O Releasee or Excluded Fang Shareholder shall, upon learning of the receipt of any such payment, promptly return such payment to the Administrator for deposit in the Settlement Account. Defendants represent and warranty that: (a) as of the Stipulation Date, Defendants collectively own 49,257,765 shares (combination of Class A or B common stock and ADS), representing a 54.51% economic interest in Fang<sup>3</sup>; (b) Defendants, D&O Releasees and Excluded Fang Shareholders shall not participate in any distribution of the funds out of the Settlement Account; and (c) Defendants, D&O Releasees and Excluded Fang Shareholders will promptly return any funds received in error.

<sup>3</sup> These two numbers are subject to change because of Defendants' potential disposition of their Fang share and/or ADSs holdings to fund the Monetary Consideration.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. Within four (4) Business Days of the Stipulation Date, Fang shall file a Form 6-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission, attaching this Stipulation and its exhibits. Subject to approval of the Court, the Administrator will mail the Notice to each shareholder of Fang identified in the Register as of the Stipulation Date at the last known address appearing in the stock transfer records maintained by or on behalf of Fang (such as by its transfer agent) and to each Fang ADS holder. As soon as practicable but no later than five (5) Business Days after the Stipulation Date, Fang and/or its transfer agent shall provide to the Administrator: (a) the Register; and (b) a list of the names, addresses, and holdings of ADSs of registered ADS and restricted ADS holders from the Depositary, both as of the Stipulation Date, it being understood by the Parties that Fang may first need to request such a list from the Depositary and/or transfer agent. Within fourteen (14) days of the Scheduling Order Date, the Administrator will mail the Notice to Fang shareholder listed in the Register and to Fang ADS holders identified on the list provided by Fang and/or its transfer agent. Within three (3) Business Days of the Scheduling Order Date: (a) a copy of the Notice shall be posted on Plaintiff's Counsel website (and maintained through the Effective Date) and at on settlement website maintained by the Administrator and (b) Fang will file a Form 6-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission, attaching a copy of the Notice in the form approved by the Court as an exhibit thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. Except for the posting of the Notice on the websites of Plaintiff's Counsel and any costs associated with any From 6-K filings, any and all costs and expenses related to providing Notice (including the Notice Costs) shall be paid from the Settlement Account; *provided*, that, as discussed below, the Notice Costs will not be reimbursed to Defendants in the event the Settlement is cancelled and terminated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. Pursuant to the Final Order and Judgment, upon the Effective Date, the Action shall be dismissed with prejudice, with each Party to bear its own costs and expenses, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Stipulation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. The Judgment shall dismiss with prejudice the Complaint and shall bar in the future as a matter of *res judicata* and *collateral estoppel* any claims or causes of action or legal issues that are based upon or relate to, directly or indirectly, this Action or the Released Claims.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. Upon the date that Fang and Defendants provide proof of delivery of the CIH Consideration in accordance with paragraph 3 above (the "<u>CIH Consideration Payment Date</u>"):

The Released Plaintiff's Claims against the Defendant Releasees shall be deemed to have, and by operation of law and the Judgment and without any further action been released, relinquished and forever discharged. Plaintiff and Fang on behalf of themselves and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, predecessors, successors, and assigns shall forever be barred and enjoined from commencing, instituting or prosecuting the Defendant Releasees for any of the Released Plaintiff's Claims.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. The Released Plaintiff's Claims against the Fang Releasees shall be deemed to have, and by operation of law and the Judgment and without any further action been released, relinquished and forever discharged. Plaintiff and Fang on behalf of themselves and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, predecessors, successors, and assigns shall forever be barred and enjoined from commencing, instituting or prosecuting the Fang Releasees for any of the Released Plaintiff's Claims.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c. Plaintiff on behalf of itself and its respective heirs, executors, administrators, predecessors, successors, and assigns shall forever be barred or enjoined from commencing or pursuing any legal actions against Fang or CIH Holdings Limited arising out of or related to transactions, known or unknown, that occurred prior to the Effective Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15. Upon the Effective Date, Defendants on behalf of themselves and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, predecessors, successors, and assigns shall be deemed to have, and by operation of law and the Judgment and without any further action shall actually have, released, relinquished and forever discharged all Released Defendants' Claims against Plaintiff, Plaintiff's affiliates, Plaintiff's Counsel, and Company. Defendants and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, predecessors, successors, and assigns shall forever be barred and enjoined from commencing, instituting or prosecuting Plaintiff, Plaintiff's affiliates, Plaintiff's Counsel, or Company for any of the Released Defendants' Claims.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16. Defendants request, and Plaintiff does not oppose, that the Court include a release in the Judgment such that any Fang Minority Shareholder who receives and accepts a distribution from the Settlement Account pursuant to the Settlement shall also be deemed to have received actual or constructive Notice of the proposed settlement, and consented to the jurisdiction of New York State and venue of New York State Supreme Court, and thereupon have fully, finally, and forever released, settled, and discharged (the "<u>Requested Fang Minority Shareholder Release</u>") any and all claims, causes of action, rights or remedies, including Unknown Claims, by the Fang Minority Shareholder itself and/or on behalf of other Fang Minority Shareholders and/or on behalf of Fang, based upon, arising out of, or in any way relating to any of the facts, acts, inactions, omissions, deliberations, discussions, decisions, votes, transactions, disclosures, non-disclosures, events, occurrences, or any other conduct of any kind, that occurred prior to the Effective Date against the Defendant Releasees ("<u>Fang Minority Shareholder Claims</u>"). The Court shall decide whether the Requested Fang Minority Shareholder Release will be included in the Judgment. The Court's inclusion of the Requested Fang Minority Shareholder Release shall not be a condition of the Stipulation or entry of the Judgment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**C.**  **<u>SUBMISSION OF THE SETTLEMENT TO THE COURT</u>** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17.

The Litigation Fee and Expenses Award shall be paid by the Administrator by wire transfer to Plaintiff's Counsel from the Settlement Account. Payment shall be made within five (5) Business Days of the Court's entry of any order awarding Plaintiff's Counsel attorney's fees and expenses, and notwithstanding the existence of any timely filed objections thereto, or any potential appeal therefrom, or any collateral attack on the Settlement or any part thereof.

The effectiveness of the Settlement, the Released Claims, and the Parties' obligations under the Settlement (except with respect to the payment of Litigation Fee and Expenses Award), shall not be conditioned on the resolution of, nor any ruling regarding, any fee and expense award. Other than payment of the Monetary Consideration into the Settlement Account, Defendants shall have no obligation to otherwise contribute any funds that may be used to pay any fees or expenses of Plaintiff's Counsel.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**E.**  **<u>STAY PENDING COURT APPROVAL</u>** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20. The Parties agree to request that the Court stay the proceedings in the Action in the Scheduling Order, and not to initiate any other proceedings in the Action other than those relating to the Settlement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;21.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24. If the Settlement is terminated in accordance with this paragraph 22 subsection 2 (i) of this Section, or the Judgment is overturned on appeal, then the stay of this Action will be lifted, and the Parties agree to schedule a damages inquest hearing as soon as reasonably practicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**G.**  **<u>ADMINISTRATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF THE NET MONETARY DISTRIBUTION</u>** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;25. The Net Monetary Distribution shall be deemed to be in the custody of the Court and will remain subject to the jurisdiction of the Court until such time as it is distributed or returned pursuant to the terms of this Stipulation and/or further order of the Court.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;26. Prior to the Effective Date, Plaintiff's Counsel or the Administrator may pay from the Monetary Distribution, without further approval from Defendants or further order of the Court, all Notice Costs and Distribution Costs actually and reasonably incurred.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;27. The Net Monetary Consideration Distribution will be allocated and disbursed by the Administrator to Fang Minority Shareholders on a per-share basis or per-ADS basis, as the case may be, based on the number of shares of Fang Class A or B common stock or ADSs owned or beneficially owned by such Fang Minority Shareholder shareholders as of the Record Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;28. All proceedings with respect to the administration, processing and determination with respect to Settlement including but not limited to: (i) the monetary distribution to the Fang Minority Shareholders; (ii) CIH Consideration to Fang; (iii) and the determination of all controversies relating thereto shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the Court.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;29. If, following the distribution of the Net Monetary Distribution pursuant to this Stipulation, any Net Monetary Distribution funds remain (whether by reason of the inability to locate shareholders, uncashed checks, or otherwise), the Administrator shall make reasonable and diligent efforts to locate and provide appropriate pro rata recoveries to Fang Minority Shareholders who are entitled to participate in the distribution of the Net Monetary Distribution. Thereafter, the Administrator shall retain in the Settlement Account any remaining funds for a period of ten (10) years unless otherwise directed by the Court to release funds sooner. Upon the expiration of the ten (10) year period or further order from the Court, the Administrator shall disburse, in an equitable and economic manner any funds then remaining in the Settlement Account to Fang Minority Shareholders who were entitled to participate in the distribution of the Net Monetary Distribution. Any portion of the Net Monetary Distribution still not, by that point, distributed or re-distributed to Fang Minority Shareholders shall be paid to Fang.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**H.**  **<u>MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS</u>** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;30. All of the exhibits referred to herein shall be incorporated by reference as though fully set forth herein.

This Section shall survive dismissal of the Action and entry of Judgment and is severable to the extent any portion is held unenforceable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;34. The waiver by any Party of any breach of this Stipulation by any other Party shall not be deemed a waiver of any other prior or subsequent breach of any provision of this Stipulation by any other Party.

WHEREAS, Plaintiff on behalf of itself as well as derivatively in the right of and for the benefit of nominal defendant Fang and Defendants (collectively, along with the Company, the "Parties"), have determined to settle all claims asserted against Defendants in the Action with prejudice on the terms and conditions set forth in the Stipulation; and

WHEREAS, the Court having read and considered the Stipulation, and the exhibits attached thereto, and all Parties having consented to the entry of this Order.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. **Settlement Hearing**: The Court will hold the Settlement Hearing on February 5, 2026, at 2pm, ("<u>Settlement Hearing Date</u>") at the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, for the following purposes: (a) to determine whether Plaintiff and Plaintiff's Counsel have adequately represented the interests of Fang and Fang Minority Shareholders; (b) to determine whether the proposed Settlement on the terms and conditions provided for in the Stipulation is fair, reasonable and adequate to Plaintiff, Fang, and Fang Minority Shareholders, and should be approved by the Court; (c) to determine whether all Released Claims should be dismissed with prejudice; (d) to determine whether a Final Order and Judgment substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C to the Stipulation should be entered dismissing the Action with prejudice; (e) to determine whether the application to be filed by Plaintiff's Counsel for an award of attorney's fees and reimbursement of litigation expenses should be approved and if so in what amount; (f) to hear and consider any objections to the Settlement and/or Plaintiff's Counsel's application for an award of attorney's fees and expenses; (g) to consider the Requested Fang Minority Shareholder Release and to hear any objections thereto (if any); and (h) to consider any other matters that may properly be brought before the Court in connection with the Settlement. Notice of the terms of the Stipulation and the Settlement Hearing shall be given to Fang Minority Shareholders as set forth in paragraph 6 of this Order.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. The Court reserves the right to hold the Settlement Hearing in person at or to hold a virtual hearing online, as the Court deems appropriate in its discretion.

If Defendants have not paid the full amount of the Monetary Consideration into the Settlement Account by the Settlement Hearing Date set forth above in paragraph 2, the Settlement Hearing shall be adjourned to a later date and time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. **Appointment of Administrator**: The Court approves the appointment of Epiq Class Action & Claims Solutions, Inc. as the settlement administrator (the "Administrator").

This Notice explains the Lawsuit, the Settlement, your legal rights, what benefits are available, and who is eligible for them.

The Court in charge of the Lawsuit is the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, Commercial Division, and the case is called *Oasis Investments II Master Fund Ltd., derivatively on behalf of nominal defendant Fang Holdings Limited v. Vincent Tianquan Mo, Richard Jiangong Dai, Ace Smart Investments Limited, Next Decade Investments Limited, Media Partner Technology Limited, and True Knight Limited*, Index No. 652607/2023. The judge presiding over the Lawsuit is Justice Andrew Borrok. The shareholder who brought the Lawsuit is called the Plaintiff,<sup>4</sup> and the companies and people who the shareholder has sued are called the Defendants.<sup>5</sup> The Lawsuit is a derivative action, which means that the Plaintiff seeks to pursue claims on behalf of Fang itself. Fang is named in the Lawsuit as a Nominal Defendant only and there are no claims asserted against Fang.

If the Court approves the Settlement and the Settlement becomes effective: (a) the Lawsuit will be dismissed with prejudice, (b) the release of Released Plaintiff's Claims (defined below) will become effective, and (c) the Administrator approved by the Court will make payments pursuant to the Settlement. In addition, the Defendants are seeking a release of claims held by Fang Minority Shareholders, the Requested Fang Minority Shareholder Release, discussed below. If the Court approves such release, then any claims held by Fang Minority Shareholders will also be released. The Settlement is not contingent on any release of claims held by Fang Minority Shareholders, and the Court may approve the Settlement even without granting a release of any claims held by Fang Minority Shareholders.

<sup>4</sup> The Plaintiff is: Oasis Investment II Master Fund Ltd. ("Plaintiff").

<sup>5</sup> The Defendants are: Vincent Tianquan Mo ("Mo"), Richard Jiangong Dai ("Dai"), ACE Smart Investments Limited ("Ace"), Next Decade Investments Limited ("Next Decade"), Media Partner Technology Limited ("Media Partner"), and True Knight Limited ("True Knight") (together, "Defendants").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2. What is this lawsuit about?**

The following summary does not constitute findings of the Court.

Plaintiff alleged<sup>6</sup> that the Defendants, directly or indirectly, harmed Fang in connection with a series of integrated related-party transactions between 2019 and 2023 involving: (a) the June 2019 spin-off of Fang's wholly owned subsidiary, China Index Holdings Limited ("CIH"), via a distribution of CIH shares and ADSs to Fang shareholders; (b) the subsequent repurchase of 13,549,249 CIH shares from entities affiliated with Mo—namely Defendants Media Partner Investments Limited and Next Decade Technology Limited—at a fixed price of $5.99 per share; (c) Fang ceasing to make its SEC filings starting in May 2021, resulting in its delisting from the NYSE in June 2022; (d) Mo and Dai, through Defendants ACE Smart Investments Limited and True Knight Limited, collectively acquiring the equivalent of (i) 20,471,063 CIH Class A common shares and (ii) 22,281,344 Fang Class A common shares between May 3, 2021 and June 2, 2022; and (e) an April 17, 2023 take private transaction involving a short-form merger of CIH.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3. Why is there a settlement?**

To avoid the cost, delay, and risks of further proceedings and potentially a trial, the parties have agreed to the Settlement, which will enable Fang Minority Shareholders to directly benefit from receiving money and to indirectly benefit from Fang being provided the CIH Consideration as well as Corporate Governance Changes. Plaintiff and Plaintiff's Counsel think the Settlement is fair and is in the best interests of Fang and its shareholders and ADS holders.

Plaintiff's Counsel conducted an investigation and pursued discovery relating to the claims and the underlying events and transactions alleged in the Lawsuit. Plaintiff's Counsel analyzed the evidence obtained during their investigation and the discovery obtained in the Lawsuit, researched the applicable law with respect to the claims and the potential defenses asserted in the Lawsuit (and retained and consulted with foreign law experts on Cayman Islands law), and engaged and consulted with financial experts with respect to potential damages recoverable in the Lawsuit.

In negotiating and evaluating the terms of the Settlement, Plaintiff and Plaintiff's Counsel considered the legal and factual defenses to the Plaintiff's measures of claimed damages and the expense, delay, and risk of pursuing the claims through trial and appeals. In light of the costs, risks, and delays of continued litigation, the amount of the Settlement, and the immediacy of recovery, Plaintiff and Plaintiff's Counsel believe that the Settlement is fair, reasonable and adequate, and in the best interests of the Company, its shareholders and ADS holders. Plaintiff and Plaintiff's Counsel believe that the Settlement provides an extraordinary benefit to Fang and its shareholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4. What does the settlement provide?**

In consideration for the full and final dismissal with prejudice of the Lawsuit and the releases described below, the Defendants have agreed to: (1) pay the Monetary Consideration; (2) provide the CIH Consideration; and (3) institute the Corporate Governance Changes. The Monetary Consideration will be paid into a common Settlement Account (the "Settlement Account").

The Monetary Consideration ($30,000,000 USD), less any amounts awarded by the Court for Plaintiff's Counsel's attorneys' fees and expenses and Settlement-related administrative and tax expenses (the "Net Monetary Distribution"), will be distributed on a pro rata basis to Fang Minority Shareholders who are shareholders of Fang as of the Record Date. Defendants, D&O Releasees and other Excluded Fang Shareholders shall not be entitled to participate in or receive any portion of the Net Monetary Distribution.

Administration of the Settlement Account and distribution of the Net Monetary Distribution is the responsibility of Plaintiff and Plaintiff's Counsel under the supervision of the Court, and Defendants shall have no responsibility for the Settlement Account once the Defendants have provided the Monetary Consideration.

In addition to the Monetary Consideration, Defendants will provide the Company with the CIH Consideration which consists of 20,471,063 shares of CIH Holdings Limited.

In addition to the Monetary Consideration and the CIH Consideration, the Settlement provides that Fang will institute the following Corporate Governance Changes, which will remain in effect for a minimum of five (5) years following the Effective Date:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. Appoint a new fully independent outside
 director.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. Appoint a Special Committee, including at
 least one fully independent outside director, for any related party or insider party transactions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5. How does the Settlement affect my rights?**

"Released Plaintiff's Claims" shall not include claims to enforce the terms of the Settlement.

**Release of Claims by the Defendants**: The Defendants on behalf of themselves and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, predecessors, successors, and assigns shall be deemed to have, and by operation of law and the Judgment and without any further action shall actually have, released, relinquished and forever discharged all Released Defendants' Claims (defined below) against Plaintiff, Plaintiff's affiliates, Plaintiff's Counsel, and Company. Defendants and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, predecessors, successors, and assigns shall forever be barred and enjoined from commencing, instituting or prosecuting Plaintiff, Plaintiff's affiliates, Plaintiff's Counsel, or Company for any of the Released Defendants' Claims.

"**Released Defendants' Claims**" means any claims, causes of action, rights or remedies, including Unknown Claims, that have been or could have been asserted in the Action or in any forum by Defendants or any of them or their respective successors and assigns against Plaintiff, Plaintiff's Counsel, Fang and each of their respective predecessors, successors, affiliates, heirs, agents, executors, administrators and assigns, and any persons they represent, known or unknown, relating to the investigation, initiation, prosecution, defense, and/or resolution of the Action; provided, however, that such release shall not waive or release any claims, rights or remedies that Defendants may have with respect to obligations pursuant to the terms of the Stipulation or with respect to obligations or rights pursuant to any other agreement or undertaking between or among Defendants in connection with the Settlement.

Questions? Visit <u>www.XXXX.com.</u> Email: <u>Info@XXXX.com.</u> Call: 1-800-XXX-XXXX.

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.

The Parties acknowledge that they may discover facts in addition to or different from those now known or believed to be true with respect to the Released Claims, but that it is the intention of all Parties to completely, fully, finally and forever extinguish any and all Released Claims, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, which now exist, or heretofore existed, or may hereafter exist, and without regard to the subsequent discovery of additional or different facts. The Parties acknowledge that the inclusion of "Unknown Claims" in the definition of "Released Claims" and the release of Unknown Claims was separately bargained for and was a key element of the Settlement and was relied upon by the Parties in entering into the Stipulation.

**Requested Fang Minority Shareholder Release**: Defendants request, and Plaintiff does not oppose, that the Court include a release in the Judgment such that any Fang Minority Shareholder who receives and accepts a distribution from the Settlement Account pursuant to the Settlement shall also be deemed to have received actual or constructive Notice of the proposed settlement, and consented to the jurisdiction of New York State and venue of New York State Supreme Court, and thereupon have fully, finally, and forever released, settled, and discharged (the "Requested Fang Minority Shareholder Release") any and all claims, causes of action, rights or remedies, including Unknown Claims, by the Fang Minority Shareholder itself and/or on behalf of other Fang Minority Shareholders and/or on behalf of Fang, based upon, arising out of, or in any way relating to any of the facts, acts, inactions, omissions, deliberations, discussions, decisions, votes, transactions, disclosures, non-disclosures, events, occurrences, or any other conduct of any kind, that occurred prior to the Effective Date, against the Defendant Releasees ("Fang Minority Shareholder Claims"). The Court shall decide whether the Requested Fang Minority Shareholder Release will be included in the Judgment. The Court's inclusion of the Requested Fang Minority Shareholder Release shall not be a condition of the Stipulation or entry of the Judgment. Plaintiff has agreed not to oppose the Requested Fang Minority Shareholder Release.

**Any Fang Minority Shareholder that wishes to object to Requested Fang Minority Shareholder Release must do so no later than on XXXXX XX, 2026, before the Settlement Hearing by filing a separate objection to the Requested Fang Minority Shareholder Release.**

The Requested Fang Minority Shareholder Release is not a condition to the Settlement. That is, the Settlement is binding on Defendants and the distributions from the Settlement Account will be paid pursuant to the Settlement (subject to the Court's approval) even if the Court denies Defendants' request to include the Requested Fang Minority Shareholder Release.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6. How will the lawyers be paid?**

Plaintiff's Counsel have invested significant time and resources in investigating and pursuing the derivative claims asserted in the Lawsuit, and have been working exclusively on a contingent fee since filing the Lawsuit, meaning that they would only be compensated for their time litigating this Lawsuit if they created a benefit for Fang (and, by extension, the Fang Minority Shareholders) through the Lawsuit. Moreover, Plaintiff and Plaintiff's Counsel have incurred significant expenses in pursuing the Lawsuit on behalf of Fang, which could only be recovered if they created such a benefit.

In light of the risks undertaken in pursuing the Action on a contingency basis and the benefits created for Fang and Fang Minority Shareholders through the Settlement and the prosecution of the Lawsuit, Plaintiff's Counsel intend to apply to the Court for an award of attorneys' fees in an amount not to exceed thirty percent (30%) of the value of the Total Settlement Consideration, as well as reimbursement of costs and expenses incurred in an amount not to exceed $250,000, exclusive of the costs of the Administrator, discussed below.

Plaintiff's Counsel have been working on the Lawsuit since 2023. The attorneys' fees would pay Plaintiff's Counsel for litigating the case and negotiating the Settlement, including procuring the Total Settlement Consideration for Fang and its Fang Minority Shareholders and Corporate Governance Changes. The expenses are to reimburse Plaintiff and Plaintiff's Counsel for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in litigating the Lawsuit. In addition to these attorneys' fees and expenses, the Administrator will be entitled to payment for the fees and expenses for administering the Settlement and forwarding payments for distribution to public shareholders, as well as any fees and expenses relating to the payment of any taxes for interest earned on the Monetary Consideration.

The Court may award less than these amounts. Defendants have agreed not to oppose Plaintiff's Counsel's request for attorneys' fees or reimbursement of costs and expenses. The amount of the fees and expenses, the payment to the Settlement Administrator, and any tax-related expenses will be deducted from the Settlement Account.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7. When and where will the Court decide whether to approve the Settlement?**

The Court will hold a Settlement Hearing at **X:XX on XXXXX XX, 2026**, at the at the Supreme Court of the State of New York, 60 Center Street, Room 659, New York, NY 10007. The Court reserves the right to hold the Settlement Hearing in person at or to hold a virtual hearing online, as the Court deems appropriate in its discretion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8. How do I tell the Court that I don't like the Settlement?**

in their capacities as such only, by operation of the Stipulation and this Judgment and to the fullest extent allowed by law, shall completely,
fully, finally and forever release, relinquish, settle and discharge the Plaintiff, Plaintiff's Counsel, and Company, from any and
all of the Released Defendants' Claims, and shall forever be barred and enjoined from commencing, instituting or prosecuting any

If, following the distribution of the Net Monetary Distribution pursuant to this Stipulation, any Net Monetary Distribution funds remain (whether by reason of the inability to locate shareholders, uncashed checks, or otherwise), the Administrator shall make reasonable and diligent efforts to locate and provide appropriate pro rata recoveries to Fang Minority Shareholders who are entitled to participate in the distribution of the Net Monetary Distribution. Thereafter, the Administrator shall retain in the Settlement Account any remaining funds for a period of ten (10) years unless otherwise directed by the Court to release funds sooner. Upon the expiration of the ten (10) year period or further order from the Court, the Administrator shall disburse, in an equitable and economic manner, any funds then remaining in the Settlement Account to Fang Minority Shareholders who were entitled to participate in the distribution of the Net Monetary Distribution.
