to maintain users&#146; equal status on its platform, thereby encouraging all of them to freely communicate and interact with each other. The Company also operates Yalla Ludo, a mobile application featuring online versions of board games that are
highly popular in MENA, such as Ludo and Domino. <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">In-game</FONT> real-time chats and Ludo chat room functions are popular social networking features among users. Through close attention to detail and localized appeal
that deeply resonates with users, Yalla&#146;s mobile applications deliver a seamless user experience that fosters a loyal sense of belonging, creating a highly devoted and engaged user community. </P>
