Convertible Bond and Derivative Financial Liability

26.	CONVERTIBLE BOND AND DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL LIABILITY

On December 19, 2019, the Company issued 2% convertible bond with a principal amount of US$15,000,000. The bond is convertible at the option of the bondholders into class A ordinary shares at any time after six months following the date of issuance of the bond and prior to the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the maturity date of June 30, 2023. The conversion rate is 99.44 American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) per US$1,000 principal. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events that have an impact on the number of outstanding shares of the company. The bondholders can convert all or any portion of the bond that equals to or greater than US$10,000,000. However, the bondholders can only exercise such right to convert no more than twice. Any convertible notes not converted, as well as the accrued interest, will be repaid on June 30, 2023. In January 2022, the conversion price of the bond was adjusted to US$8.08 per share and the convertible bond were converted into 1,856,436 class A ordinary shares. The directors of the Company considered that the effect of the modification of this financial liability is considered as immaterial.

On initial recognition, the derivative component of the convertible bond is measured at fair value and presented as a derivative financial liability.
