The key terms of the Preferred Shares are as follows:
Conversion right
The Series A, B, C, C1, C1+, D and D1 preferred shares were convertible, at the option of the holders at any time after the original issue date of the relevant series of preferred shares into such number of fully paid and
non-assessable
ordinary Shares. Each preferred share shall automatically be converted into ordinary shares at the then effective conversion price upon the closing of a QIPO, which meant the Company been registered under the applicable securities laws with a
pre-offering
valuation of at least US$400,000,000, and gross proceeds to the Company in excess of US$70,000,000. If the offering does not constitute a QIPO, it is at the option of holders of preferred shares to convert. No fractional ordinary share shall be issued upon conversion of the preferred shares. In lieu of any fractional ordinary shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Group shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then effective conversion price for any such series of preferred shares. In December 2019, agreed by written consent from the Company’s shareholders, foregoing QIPO has been amended to that, the Company been registered under the applicable securities laws with a
pre-offering
valuation of at least US$400,000,000, and gross proceeds to the Company in excess of US$40,000,000, pursuant to which, the completion of IPO in January 2020 had triggered the automatic conversion of all series of preferred shares into ordinary shares.
 
The conversion ratio for each preferred share shall be determined by dividing the issue price by the then conversion price, in effect at the time of the conversion. The conversion price shall initially be equal to the issue price per ordinary share. No adjustment in the conversion price for any series of preferred shares shall be made in respect of the issuance of additional ordinary shares unless the consideration per share for an additional ordinary share issued or deemed to be issued by the Group is less than the conversion price for such series in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issuance.

The Series B redemption price shall be equal to the greater of (i) an amount equal to: Series B issue price * (1.20)N, N = a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days between the Series B original issue date and the redemption date and the denominator of which is 365, plus all declared but unpaid dividends thereon up to the date of redemption, proportionally adjusted for share subdivisions, share dividends, reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations or mergers; or (ii) the fair market value of the Series B shares, the valuation of which shall be determined through an independent appraisal performed by an appraiser selected jointly by the Board and the holders of at least a majority of outstanding Series B shares; provided that such valuation shall not take into account any liquidity or minority interest discounts.
 
The Series C redemption price shall be equal to the greater of (i) an amount equal to: Series C issue price * (1.20)N, N = a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days between the Series C original issue date and the redemption date and the denominator of which is 365, plus all declared but unpaid dividends thereon up to the date of redemption, proportionally adjusted for share subdivisions, share dividends, reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations or mergers; or (ii) the fair market value of the Series C shares, the valuation of which shall be determined through an independent appraisal performed by an appraiser selected jointly by the Board and the holders of at least a majority of outstanding Series C shares; provided that such valuation shall not take into account any liquidity or minority interest discounts.

The Series C1+ redemption price shall be equal to the greater of (i) an amount equal to: Series C1+ issue price * (1.20)N, N = a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days between the Series C1+ original issue date and the redemption date and the denominator of which is 365, plus all declared but unpaid dividends thereon up to the date of redemption, proportionally adjusted for share subdivisions, share dividends, reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations or mergers; or (ii) the fair market value of the Series C1+ shares, the valuation of which shall be determined through an independent appraisal performed by an appraiser selected jointly by the Board and the holders of at least a majority of outstanding Series C1+ shares; provided that such valuation shall not take into account any liquidity or minority interest discounts.

The Series D1 redemption price shall be equal to the greater of (i) an amount equal to: Series D1 issue price * (1.10)N, N = a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days between the Series D1 original issue date and the redemption date and the denominator of which is 365, plus all declared but unpaid dividends thereon up to the date of redemption, proportionally adjusted for share subdivisions, share dividends, reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations or mergers; or (ii) the fair market value of the Series D1 shares, the valuation of which shall be determined through an independent appraisal performed by an appraiser selected jointly by the Board and the holders of at least a majority of outstanding Series D1 shares; provided that such valuation shall not take into account any liquidity or minority interest discounts.
Upon issuance of Series D preferred shares, redemption dates and liquidation prices for Series A, B, C and C1 preferred shares were changed to be aligned with the terms stipulated in the Share Purchase Agreement of Series D preferred shares. Based on the independent valuations, the Group compared the fair value of Series A, B, C and C1 preferred shares immediately before and after the modifications, and it’s determined that the changes of the fair value was lower than 10%, therefore, the changes to redemption dates and liquidation prices should be accounted for as modification to related preferred shares.
Dividend rights
No dividends or other distributions shall be made or declared, whether in cash, in property, or in any other shares of the Group, unless and until dividends have been paid in full on the Preferred Shares.
Liquidation rights
After setting aside or paying in full of the Series D and D1 preference amount, the Series C, C1 and C1+ preference amount, the Series B preference amount and the Series A preference amount, the remaining assets of the Group available for distribution to members, if any, shall be distributed to the holders of the preferred shares and ordinary shares on a pro rata basis, based on the number of ordinary shares then held by each holder on an
as-converted
basis.
Voting rights
Each Preferred Share confers the right to receive notice of, attend and vote at any general meeting of members.
Accounting of Preferred Shares
The Group had classified the Preferred Shares in the mezzanine equity of the consolidated balance sheets. In addition, the Group recorded accretions on the Preferred Shares to the redemption value from the issuance dates to the earliest redemption dates. The accretions were recorded against retained earnings, or in the absence of retained earnings, by charges against additional
paid-in
capital. Once additional
paid-in
capital had been exhausted, additional charges were recorded by increasing the accumulated deficit. Each issuance of the Preferred Shares was recognized at the respective issue price at the date of issuance net of issuance costs.
The Group had determined that there was no beneficial conversion feature attributable to all preferred shares because the initial effective conversion prices of these preferred shares were higher than the fair value of the Group’s common shares determined by the Group taking into account independent valuations. The Group had classified all Preferred Shares as mezzanine equity in the consolidated balance sheet as they were contingently redeemable at the options of the holders.

All series of Preferred Shares were converted into Class A ordinary shares at the time of the Company’s IPO. Accordingly, no additional accretion has been recorded since conversion, and there is no longer mezzanine equity.
