The above trading information is provided further to the disclosure in the section headed “Market Arrangements to Facilitate Dealings in Hong Kong” in the Listing Document and is for reference purpose only.

DESIGNATED DEALER’S AND ALTERNATE DESIGNATED DEALER’S DESIGNATED DEALER IDENTITY NUMBERS
As disclosed in the section headed “Market Arrangements to Facilitate Dealings in Hong Kong — Bridging and Liquidity Arrangements” in the Listing Document, upon the Listing and during the Bridging Period (being a period of 30 calendar days commencing on the Listing Date), the Designated Dealer, J.P. Morgan Broking (Hong Kong) Limited and/or its affiliates will seek to undertake, or, under the circumstance that the trades cannot be undertaken by the Designated Dealer as a result of technical failures, request the Alternate Designated Dealer, Goldman Sachs (Asia) Securities Limited, to undertake certain trading activities in circumstances as described in that section. The Alternate Designated Dealer will only undertake trading activities at the request of the Designated Dealer. Such arbitrage activities are expected to contribute to the liquidity of trading in the Class A ordinary shares in the Hong Kong market upon the Listing as well as to reduce potential material divergence between the prices of our Shares quoted on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and our ADSs quoted on the NYSE.
Same as previously disclosed in the Formal Notice, the Designated Dealer and the Alternate Designated Dealer have each set up a designated dealer identity number, being 7682 and 7684, respectively, solely for the purposes of carrying out arbitrage trades, covered short-selling and other trades under this exercise in Hong Kong, in order to ensure identification and thereby enhance transparency of such trades in the Hong Kong market. Any change in such designated dealer identity number will be disclosed as soon as practicable by way of announcement on the websites of our Company and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange as well as our Company’s filings with the SEC published on the SEC’s website.
FURTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS
Dealings in the Class A ordinary shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange are expected to commence on Wednesday, September 21, 2022. As stated in the section headed “Expected Timetable” in the Listing Document, the Company will release further daily announcements on the websites of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the Company on Monday, September 19, 2022, Tuesday, September 20, 2022 and not later than 8:30 a.m., Hong Kong time, on Wednesday, September 21, 2022 to disclose, among other things, the then previous trading day closing price of the ADSs representing our Class A ordinary shares on the NYSE.

The Company will, as soon as practicable and in any event no later than one business day before the Listing Date (Hong Kong time), release an announcement on the websites of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the Company to inform the investing public of (a) the number of Class A ordinary shares to be transferred to Hong Kong prior to the Listing; and (b) the total number of Class A ordinary shares which will be registered on the Hong Kong share register.
