On November 24, 2023, the Board of Directors approved a tender offer to purchase up to 16,129,032 Class A Ordinary Shares at a price of $3.10 (in dollars) per share for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $50,000, subject to certain limitations and legal requirements. The Board of Directors has concluded that the tender offer is a prudent use of our available cash from operations and other financial resources and delivers value to our shareholders. The Board of Directors has also determined that a cash tender offer is an appropriate mechanism to return capital to shareholders that seek liquidity under current market conditions while, at the same time, allowing shareholders who do not participate in the tender offer to share in a higher proportion of our future potential.
In accordance with the terms and conditions of the tender offer, and based on the final results reported by the Depositary, the Company has accepted for purchase 16,129,010 shares, through the tender offer at a price of $3.10 (in dollars) per share, for an aggregate cost of approximately $50,000, excluding fees relating to the tender offer.
