Kashgar Yiqiwan was incorporated as a limited liability company in the PRC on March

Zhang Yuguo, one of our Controlling Shareholders and an executive Director, and 50% by Mr.
Fu Lulu, an independent third party. Upon incorporation, the corporate name of Kashgar
Yiqiwan was Wuhan Yiqiwan Network Technology Co., Ltd. (武漢一起玩網絡科技有限公司),
which has been changed to Kashgar Yiqiwan Network Technology Co., Ltd. (喀什一起玩網絡科技有限公司) since April 1, 2017.
On December 14, 2016, Mr. Fu Lulu transferred 50% of the equity interest in Kashgar
Yiqiwan to Mr. Wu Xuliang, an employee of the Group at the time. Prior to the change of the
company’s name in 2017, Mr. Zhang Yuguo and Mr. Wu Xuliang had entered into nominee
shareholder agreements with Wuhan Fulu to record and confirm that they held their respective
equity interest in Wuhan Yiqiwan for the benefit and on behalf of Wuhan Fulu. Shortly after
the change of the company’s name to Kashgar Yiqiwan, Mr. Wu Xuliang and Mr. Zhang Yuguo
re-entered into such nominee shareholder agreements (the “Nominee ShareholderAgreements”) to re-confirm that they hold their respective equity interest in Kashgar Yiqiwan

Shareholders are not entitled to dispose of (including by way of pledge, charge or share
transfer) his shares in Kashgar Yiqiwan; and (d) the Nominee Shareholders shall exercise the
voting rights in respect of his shares in Kashgar Yiqiwan in accordance with the instructions
of Wuhan Fulu.
As the then registered shareholders of Kashgar Yiqiwan, Mr. Zhang Yuguo and Mr. WuXuliang, at the direction of Wuhan Fulu (as the ultimate beneficial owner of the whole equityinterest of Kashgar Yiqiwan) entered into a set of contractual arrangements agreements withWFOE on December 25, 2019, including the exclusive business cooperation agreement,exclusive option agreements, equity pledge agreements etc. (the “Previous Kashgar YiqiwanVIE Agreements”) pursuant to which WFOE would have the right to exercise control over theoperation and enjoy all the economic benefits of Kashgar Yiqiwan and its subsidiary, WuhanYilu.
As Mr. Wu Xuliang has decided to exit from the Group prior to the [REDACTED] topursue his other business endeavors, WFOE designated Mr. Zhang Yuguo and Ms. Shen Yaling(an employee of Wuhan Fulu and an indirect Shareholder of the Company) to hold 99% and1% of the equity interest in Kashgar Yiqiwan as the registered shareholders respectively. Forfurther details of Mr. Wu Xuliang’s exit from the Group, please see “– Reorganization – 4. Mr.Wu Xuliang’s Exit from the Group” below. The legal title to the entire shares of KashgarYiqiwan was not reverted to Wuhan Fulu, the ultimate beneficial owner of these shares, butwere held by Mr. Zhang Yuguo and Ms. Shen Yaling as designated by WFOE. Such anarrangement is due to the following considerations:
(1) In accordance with applicable PRC tax laws and regulations, if Wuhan Fulu becomesthe registered shareholder of Kashgar Yiqiwan, although Wuhan Fulu is the ultimatebeneficial owner of the entire equity interest of Kashgar Yiqiwan, the transfer ofshares of Kashgar Yiqiwan from the existing registered shareholders to Wuhan Fuluwould still be deemed as a “share transfer” for taxation purpose. Such a sharetransfer may result in an unnecessary tax burden to the Group, because the sharetransfer price per share under such circumstance payable to the individual nomineeshareholders (as the transferors of these shares) shall generally not be lower than thenet assets of Kashgar Yiqiwan per share, which would result in a high income taxpayable by the individual nominee shareholders.
However, if the shares previously registered under Mr. Wu Xuliang’s name are heldby Mr. Zhang Yuguo and Ms. Shen Yaling as currently structured, although such achange is still deemed as a “share transfer” for taxation purpose, the income taxpayable for such share transfers will be lower because (a) the share transfer priceunder such circumstance could be set as low as the original cost when such shareswere obtained because the shares are transferred to individual employees of theGroup (namely, Mr. Zhang Yuguo and Ms. Shen Yaling); and (b) the number ofshares for the purpose of assessing the income tax payable would be 50% of the totalshares of Kashgar Yiqiwan (i.e., the shares previously registered under Mr. WuXuliang’s name) as opposed to the 100% of the shares of Kashgar Yiqiwan if all theshares of Kashgar Yiqiwan are reverted to Wuhan Fulu.

(2) Kashgar Yiqiwan currently holds an ICP License. As advised by our PRC Legal
Advisor, if the legal title to the shares in Kashgar Yiqiwan were to be reverted to
Wuhan Fulu, which is a corporate entity, as opposed to individuals, it might take
longer time for the competent authorities regulating ICP License to review the
transfer documents and qualification of the ultimate shareholders of Wuhan Fulu,
which would potentially cause disruption and uncertainty to the business of Kashgar
Yiqiwan.
(3) When the Company was planning the Reorganization, Kashgar Yiqiwan was in the
process of negotiating the renewal of a business contract with a long-established and
renowned business partner. If Wuhan Fulu, as a corporate entity, becomes the
registered shareholder of Kashgar Yiqiwan, as opposed to individuals, it was
envisaged that the internal approval procedures required by this business partner
would be complicated. In contrast, if the registered shareholders of Kashgar Yiqiwan
remain to be individuals, among whom is an existing shareholder of Kashgar
Yiqiwan and owns the majority of equity interest in Kashgar Yiqiwan (i.e., Mr.
Zhang Yuguo), it was envisaged that the internal approval procedures would be
relatively simpler, which may just be similar to annual renewal of such existing
business contract.
Xinjiang Fulu
Xinjiang Fulu was incorporated as a limited liability company in the PRC on December
27, 2016 with an initial registered capital of RMB5 million and owned as to 57%, 20%, 12%
and 11% by Mr. Fu Xi, Mr. Zhang Yuguo, Mr. Zhao Bihao and Mr. Shui Yingyu, respectively.
On July 25, 2017, Mr. Fu Xi, Mr. Zhang Yuguo, Mr. Zhao Bihao and Mr. Shui Yingyu each
entered into an equity transfer agreement with Wuhan Fulu to transfer the entire equity interest
in Xinjiang Fulu to Wuhan Fulu for nil consideration. Subsequently, Xinjiang Fulu became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Wuhan Fulu.
Tibet Fulu
Tibet Fulu was incorporated as a limited liability company in the PRC on December 8,
2016 with an initial registered capital of RMB5 million and owned as to 57%, 11%, 12% and
20% by Mr. Fu Xi, Mr. Shui Yingyu, Mr. Wu Xuliang and Mr. Zhang Yuguo, respectively.
On July 10, 2017, Mr. Fu Xi, Mr. Zhang Yuguo, Mr. Wu Xuliang and Mr. Shui Yingyu
each entered into an equity transfer agreement with Wuhan Fulu to transfer the entire equity
interest in Tibet Fulu to Wuhan Fulu for nil consideration, as part of the preparation for a
potential initial public offering of Wuhan Fulu in the PRC. Subsequently, Tibet Fulu became
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wuhan Fulu.

Technology is an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and there has been no
change in Fulu Technology’s shareholding structure since its incorporation.

together with certain key employees of the Group established Tibet Fuxu and Tibet Fulong on

December 15, 2017, Tibet Fuxu and Tibet Fulong subscribed for 12.72% and 11.45% of the
equity interest of Wuhan Fulu, respectively. Since then and as of the Latest Practicable Date,
Tibet Fuxu and Tibet Fulong held in aggregate 24.17% of the equity interest in Wuhan Fulu.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, Tibet Fuxu had a total of 14 partners (including a sole
general partner, being Mr. Fu Xi) with a total capital contribution of approximately RMB3.82
million. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Tibet Fulong had a total of 7 partners (including a
sole general partner, being Mr. Fu Xi) with a total capital contribution of approximately

Fulong will distribute the profit they receive from Wuhan Fulu to their partners in proportion
to the paid-up contribution of each partner.

PREVIOUS LISTING PLAN
Our Group initiated the preparation for proposed listing of its Shares on a domestic stockexchange in 2017, and we had engaged a PRC financial institution as our financial advisor tofacilitate the relevant restructuring work. However, due to the uncertain and relativelyprolonged listing timetable for A-share listing, and considering that the Hong Kong StockExchange would provide us with an international platform to gain access to foreign capital andoverseas investors, the Group suspended the preparatory work in the second half of 2018.
As of the Latest Practicable Date, the Group had not (i) entered into the stage of listingtutoring (上市輔導), (ii) submitted any A-share listing application to the CSRC for review or(iii) received any comments or issues raised by the CSRC (including its local offices). We donot plan to pursue the A-share Listing Preparation in the near future.
To the best of their knowledge, our Directors are not aware of (i) any other mattersrelating to the A-share Listing Preparation that are relevant to the [REDACTED] which shouldbe reasonably highlighted in this document for investors to form an informed assessment of ourCompany; (ii) any other matters relating to the A-share Listing Preparation that may haveimplications on our Company’s suitability for [REDACTED] on the Hong Kong StockExchange or on the truthfulness, accuracy and completeness of information disclosed in thisdocument; and (iii) any other matters that need to be brought to the attention of the Hong KongStock Exchange and investors in relation to the A-share Listing Preparation. Based on theabove, our Directors are of the view that there are no matters in the A-share Listing Preparationthat would potentially affect the suitability of our Company to [REDACTED] on the HongKong Stock Exchange.
REORGANIZATION
In anticipation of our [REDACTED], we underwent the Reorganization pursuant towhich our Company became the holding company and [REDACTED] vehicle of our Group.

Co., Ltd. (微分(上海)體育文化有限公司) (“Weifen Shanghai”). Wuhan Zhongteng does not
hold an ICP License or an ICB License, nor did it engage or plan to engage in any business

regulations in the PRC.
As part of the Reorganization to transfer the businesses which are not subject to any

narrowly tailored in accordance with the requirements of the Stock Exchange, Wuhan
Zhongteng transferred its minority equity interests in Jiwei Logic and Weifen Shanghai to

Jian, an independent third party.
To streamline the corporate structure of the Group and as part of the Reorganization, on
August 23, 2019, Kashgar Yiqiwan acquired 30% of equity interest in Wuhan Yilu held by Mr.
Ma Jian for nil consideration as Wuhan Yilu had negative shareholder equity at the time of the

Company has the power to indirectly exercise control over the operation and enjoy economic
benefits of Wuhan Yilu through contractual arrangements with Kashgar Yiqiwan. For further

Yiqiwan” and “Contractual Arrangements”.

[Notwithstanding that it is not required by Listing Rules, each of Mr. Fu Xi, Mr. Zhang
Yuguo, Mr. Shui Yingyu, Mr. Zhao Bihao and Luzhi Holdings, would voluntarily enter into a

PRC REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS
M&A Rules
According to the Regulations on Merger with and Acquisition of Domestic Enterprises by
Foreign Investors (《關於外國投資者併購境內企業的規定》) (the “M&A Rules”) jointly
issued by the MOFCOM, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission
of the State Council, the SAT, the CSRC, the SAIC and the SAFE on August 8, 2006, effective
as of September 8, 2006 and amended on June 22, 2009, a foreign investor is required to obtain
necessary approvals when it (1) acquires the equity of a domestic enterprise so as to convert
the domestic enterprise into a foreign-invested enterprise; (2) subscribes the increased capital
of a domestic enterprise so as to convert the domestic enterprise into a foreign-invested
enterprise; (3) establishes a foreign-invested enterprise through which it purchases the assets
of a domestic enterprise and operates these assets; or (4) purchases the assets of a domestic
enterprise, and then invests such assets to establish a foreign-invested enterprise. The M&A
Rules, among other things, further purport to require that an offshore special vehicle, or a
special purpose vehicle, formed for listing purposes and controlled directly or indirectly by
PRC companies or individuals, shall obtain the approval of the CSRC prior to the listing and
trading of such special purpose vehicle’s securities on an overseas stock exchange, especially
in the event that the special purpose vehicle acquires shares or equity interest in the PRC
companies in exchange for the shares of offshore companies.

Our PRC Legal Advisor is of the opinion that prior CSRC approval for this offering is not
required because (i) our wholly foreign-owned PRC subsidiary was not established through a
merger or acquisition of equity interest or assets of a PRC domestic company owned by PRC
companies or individuals as defined under the M&A Rules that are the beneficial owners of our
Company, and (ii) no provision in the M&A Rules clearly classifies contractual arrangements
as a type of transaction subject to the M&A Rules. However, our PRC Legal Advisor further
advises that there is uncertainty as to how the M&A Rules will be interpreted or implemented.
SAFE Registration
Pursuant to the Circular of the SAFE on Concerning Relevant Issues on the Foreign
Exchange Administration of Offshore Investing and Financing and Round-Trip Investing by
Domestic Residents through Special Purpose Vehicles (《國家外匯管理局關於境內居民通過特殊目的公司境外投融資及返程投資外匯管理有關問題的通知》) (the “SAFE Circular No.37”), promulgated by SAFE and which became effective on July 4, 2014, and which replaced
the Circular on Relevant Issues Concerning Foreign Exchange Control on Domestic Residents’
Corporate Financing and Roundtrip Investment Through Offshore Special Purpose Vehicles
(《關於境內居民通過境外特殊目的公司融資及返程投資外匯管理有關問題的通知》), (a) a
PRC resident must register with the local SAFE branch before he or she contributes assets or
equity interests to an overseas special purpose vehicle (the “Overseas SPV”) that is directly
established or indirectly controlled by the PRC resident for the purpose of conducting
investment or financing, and (b) following the initial registration, the PRC resident is also
required to register with the local SAFE branch for any major change, in respect of the
Overseas SPV, including, among other things, a change of Overseas SPV’s PRC resident
shareholder(s), the name of the Overseas SPV, terms of operation, or any increase or reduction
of the Overseas SPV’s capital, share transfer or swap, and merger or division. In the event that
a PRC shareholder holding interests in a special purpose vehicle fails to fulfill the required
SAFE registration, the PRC subsidiaries of that special purpose vehicle may be restricted from
making profit distributions to the offshore parent and from carrying out subsequent
cross-border foreign exchange activities, and the special purpose vehicle may be restricted in
its ability to contribute additional capital into its PRC subsidiary. Furthermore, failure to
comply with the various SAFE registration requirements described above could result in
liability under PRC law for evasion of foreign exchange controls.
Pursuant to the Notice of the SAFE on Simplifying and Improving the Foreign Currency
Management Policy on Direct Investment (《國家外匯管理局關於進一步簡化和改進直接投資外匯管理政策的通知》) (the “SAFE Circular No. 13”), promulgated by SAFE and which
became effective on June 1, 2015, the power to accept SAFE registration was delegated from
local SAFE to local banks where the assets or interests in the domestic entity are located.
As advised by our PRC Legal Advisor, our individual beneficial owners, who are known
to us as PRC citizens, have duly completed their registration in compliance with the SAFE
Circular No. 37 and the SAFE Circular No. 13 as of December 6, 2019. We expect to complete
the necessary changes to the SAFE registration as a result of the Reorganization prior to the
[REDACTED].
