In January 2023, as a result of a supplemental agreement with Tencent, the Group no longer had any sub-licensing rights and the aggregate purchase price was decreased to RMB450 million, attributable to the period from 2023 to 2025. In September 2024, as a result of a supplemental agreement with Tencent, the aggregate purchase price was further decreased to RMB230 million.

(d)Legal proceedings The Group records a liability when the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Group evaluates, on a regular basis, developments in litigation matters that could affect the amount of liability that has been previously accrued and makes adjustments as appropriate. As of December 31, 2024, there were a few significant pending claims related to live streaming broadcasters recruitment and alleged copyright infringement with an aggregate amount of RMB248 million, among which the Group has recorded RMB24 million based on the probable and reasonable estimate. The rest of the potential claims amounts were related to cases which are in the early stage or where there is a lack of clear or consistent interpretation of laws specific to the industry-specific complaints among different jurisdictions, the Group is unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss as the proceedings timing and outcome of pending litigation is inherently uncertain. |
