The repurchase price of USD2.82 was mutually negotiated at the time of the repurchase transactions. There were no other arrangements with the selling shareholders other than the exchange of Xiaomi options for transfer restrictions as described above. The selling shareholders were willing to sell its common and preferred shares at the USD2.82 per share price as it would provide them with as a form of liquidity. For the common shares repurchased, the Company charged the excess of the purchased price over the par value to additional paid in capital. For the preferred shares repurchased, the Company charged the excess of the purchase price over the carrying value to retain earnings or to additional paid in capital if retained earnings is zero.

While the common shares have been transferred to Leading Advice, the common shares issued to Leading Advice do not have the attributes of unrestricted, issued and outstanding shares. Therefore, these shares issued to Leading Advice are accounted as treasury shares.

According to the repurchase contract, the Company was entitled to an amount (the “Withheld Price”) to withhold any taxes with respect to this repurchase as required under the applicable laws. If the Seller has not been specifically required by the applicable governmental or regulatory authority to pay any taxes as required under the applicable laws in connection with the repurchase, after the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company will pay to the Seller the Withheld Price with a simple interest thereon at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum (the “repayment price”) from the Closing Date. Therefore, the Withheld Price was recognized as long-term payable of USD4,782 thousand including due to related parties, non-current portion in the financial statements.
