As of December 31, 2019, the Group had outstanding capital commitments totaling to RMB915,780, which consisted of capital expenditures related to properties and additional investments in equity investments.

(c)  Litigation

In 2018, the Group involved in a lawsuit alleging the Group infringed the counter party's game intellectual property. Total claim amount is RMB20 million.

In 2019, the Group involved in a few cases related to unfair competition in broadcasters recruitment. These cases are pending in various courts. Total claim amount is RMB120 million.

In April 2020, local court passed a first-instance judgement on one unfair competition case of the Company. The court held the Company's action did not constitute unfair competition and rejected all the plaintiff's claims. Such judgement is still subject to an appeal, if any.

As of the date of issuance of the financial statement, those remaining lawsuits are still pending and the Group is not able to make a reliable estimate of the potential loss, if any.
