In respect of the acquisition of Sale (A) Shares, the Consideration A of HK$52,000,000 shall be payable by the Company to Seller A by the issue of convertible notes of a principal amount of HK$52,000,000 (the “ Convertible (Consideration A) Notes ”) upon completion of the Acquisition.

New term – Platform Turnover Guarantee
Pursuant to the Second Supplemental Agreement, the Sellers guaranteed to the Company that the accumulated sales amount recorded on the online distribution platform of the Target Company, namely Letao, shall not be less than RMB225,000,000 (the “ Guaranteed Platform Turnover ”) for a period of 13 months from the issue date of the 1st Batch Convertible Notes (the “ Relevant Period ”). The accountant to be designated by the Company shall review and confirm the actual accumulated sales amount recorded on the online distribution platform (the “ Acutal Platform Turnover ”) within 20 business days after the Relevant Period and issue a certificate (the “ Accountant’s Certificate ”) to confirm the Actual Platform Turnover.
In the event that the Actual Platform Turnover is more than or equal to RMB225,000,000, there will be no adjustment to the principal amount of the Convertible (Considerations) Notes. The Company shall convert the Convertible (Considerations) Notes into the Shares at the Conversion (Considerations) Price within 10 business days after the issue of the Accountant’s Certificate.
In the event that the Actual Platform Turnover is less than RMB225,000,000, the principal amount of each of the Convertible (Considerations) Notes shall be adjusted based on the following formula (the “ Consideration Adjustment ”):
| The adjusted principal amount of each of the Convertible (Considerations) Notes (the “Adjusted Convertible (Considerations) Notes”) (Note) = Principal amount of each of the Convertible (Considerations) Notes (Note) x |
Actual Platform Turnover |
|---|---|
| RMB225,000,000 (being the Guaranteed Platform Turnover) |
Note: For avoidance of doubt, adjustment (when necessary) shall be made on each of the Convertible (Consideration A) Notes, Convertible (Consideration B) Notes, Convertible (Consideration C) Notes and Convertible (Consideration D) Notes.

The Company shall cancel the Convertible (Considerations) Notes and shall issue the Adjusted Convertible (Considerations) Notes to the Sellers within 3 business days after the issue of the Accountant’s Certificate. Subsequently, the Company shall convert the Adjusted Convertible (Considerations) Notes into the Shares at the Conversion (Considerations) Price within 10 business days after the issue of the Adjusted Convertible (Considerations) Notes.
The Sellers have the right to shorten the Relevant Period by issue a notice (the “ Review Notice ”) to the Company. The Company shall arrange its designated accountant to review the Actual Platform Turnover within 20 business days after the receipt of the Review Notice. Such accountant shall review and confirm the Actual Platform Turnover within 20 business days after the commencement of its work and issue the Accountant’s Certificate to confirm the Actual Platform Turnover.
