During June and July 2018, two putative shareholder class action lawsuits were filed against the Company and certain officers of the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (“the Court”). These class actions seek to recover damages caused by the Company’s violations of the federal securities laws and pursue remedies under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5. In September 2018, the Court consolidated the two lawsuits as one case. In November 2021, the Courted granted final approval of the class action settlement reached by the Company and the plaintiffs, and the settlement is fully covered by insurance policy.

The SEC’s Division of Enforcement has requested the Company to provide information relating to certain transactions discussed in a report issued by Muddy Waters Capital LLC in 2018, the Company’s internal review status report, as well as information regarding issues related to the “Light Class” business as Company announced in April 2020.

Based on the current progress and information available, the Company does not believe it has sound basis to develop possible outcome of the SEC’s inquiries as well as the contingent losses it may incur. Therefore, no accrual for contingency loss was recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

From time to time, the Group may be subject to other legal proceedings and claims incidental to the conduct of its business. The Group accrues the liability when the loss is probable and reasonably estimable.
