The 357,986,674 ordinary shares of the Issuer beneficially owned by Mr. Richard Qiangdong Liu consist of (i) 305,630,780 Class B ordinary shares directly held by Max Smart Limited, (ii) 11,487,275 ADSs, representing 22,974,550 Class A ordinary shares, held by Max Smart Limited, (iii) 11,800,000 Class A ordinary shares that Mr. Liu had the right to acquire upon exercise of options that shall have become vested by 60 days after December 31, 2023, and (iv) 17,581,344 Class B ordinary shares held by Fortune Rising Holdings Limited as described below.
Max Smart Limited, a British Virgin Islands company, directly holds 305,630,780 Class B ordinary shares and 11,487,275 ADSs of the Issuer. Max Smart Limited is 100% owned by UBS Nominees Limited on behalf of The Max Smart Trust, with UBS Trustees (BVI) Ltd. as the trustee, Mr. Richard Qiangdong Liu as the settlor and protector, and Mr. Liu and others designated by Mr. Liu as beneficiaries. Mr. Liu reserves the right to revoke The Max Smart Trust without the consent of another person, and Mr. Liu is the sole director of Max Smart Limited. Pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules promulgated thereunder, Mr. Liu may be deemed to beneficially own all of the shares of the Issuer held by Max Smart Limited.
As of December 31, 2023, Fortune Rising Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands company, held 17,581,344 Class B ordinary shares. Fortune Rising Holdings Limited holds and administers the Class B ordinary shares of the Issuer for the benefit of plan participants under the Issuer’s share incentive plans (excluding Mr. Richard Qiangdong Liu himself), such as transferring such shares to the plan participants according to awards granted by the Issuer under the Issuer’s share incentive plans, and administers the awards and acts according to the Issuer’s instructions. Mr. Richard Qiangdong Liu is the sole shareholder and the sole director of Fortune Rising Holdings Limited. As the representative of Fortune Rising Holdings Limited, Mr. Liu can exercise the voting power with respect to these shares on behalf of Fortune Rising Holdings Limited, but does not have any economic interest in these shares. Pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules promulgated thereunder, Mr. Liu may be deemed to beneficially own all of the shares of the Issuer held by Fortune Rising Holdings Limited.
The percentage of the class of securities beneficially owned by each of the reporting persons as of December 31, 2023 is based on 3,144,236,167 outstanding ordinary shares as a single class, being the sum of 2,821,024,043 Class A ordinary shares and 323,212,124 Class B ordinary shares outstanding as of December 31, 2023 assuming conversion of all Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares, and excluding the 39,243,670 Class A ordinary shares issued to the Issuer’s depositary bank for bulk issuance of ADSs reserved for future issuances upon the exercising or vesting of awards granted under the Issuer’s share incentive plans. In addition, the calculation of percentage of the class of securities beneficially owned by Mr. Richard Qiangdong Liu has also taken into account 11,800,000 Class A ordinary shares that Mr. Liu had the right to acquire upon exercise of options that shall have become vested by 60 days after December 31, 2023.
| * | During the fourth quarter of 2023, Fortune Rising Holdings Limited sold an aggregate of 22,750 ADSs (representing 45,500 Class A ordinary shares) in the open market on behalf of certain employees of the Issuer (not including Mr. Richard Qiangdong Liu) who wished to sell the shares that they had received upon the exercising or vesting of the awards granted to them under the Issuer’s share incentive plans. However, the logistics with the Issuer’s Cayman registrar and depositary bank, including the conversion of 45,500 Class B ordinary shares held by Fortune Rising Holdings Limited into an equal number of Class A ordinary shares and the conversion of these Class A ordinary shares into 22,750 ADSs, had not been completed as of December 31, 2023. Assuming the aforementioned logistics had been completed as of December 31, 2023, Fortune Rising Holdings Limited would have held 17,535,844 Class B ordinary shares, and the ownership of the ordinary shares of the Issuer by each of the reporting persons would be as follows: |
