BUSINESS COOPERATION AGREEMENT
As one of the conditions precedent to Completion, Qima and Baidu Online and/or their respective affiliates shall enter into the Business Cooperation Agreement, pursuant to which Qima and Baidu Online and/or their respective affiliates agree to cooperate on a number of areas of business, including smart applets development, application and solution provision, on and subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Business Cooperation Agreement.
BASIS OF DETERMINING THE STRUCTURE AND CONSIDERATION
The rationale for the arrangement under the Subscription Agreement is to facilitate Baidu Online’s obtaining of the Approvals. After having obtained the Approvals and no later than 30 June 2020, Baidu Online is obliged to exercise the Qima Warrant at the aggregate exercise price of US$29,999,823, which is the exact same amount as the Deposit, whereupon the issue and allotment of the Warrant Shares to the holder of the Qima Warrant, Qima would forfeit Baidu Qima Shares at nil consideration and the WFOE would return the Deposit to Baidu Online. The number of Warrant Shares which represents 17,737,531 new Qima Shares equals to the number of Baidu Qima Shares being forfeited.
The purchase price for the Youzan Qima Shares, Baidu Qima Shares and the exercise price for the Warrants Shares was determined on arm’s length negotiations amongst the parties having considered (i) post-money valuation of Qima Group of approximately US$2.04 billion for the previous subscription in Qima completed in August 2018, being the most recent valuation reference of Qima; (ii) the valuation of purchase price of the Youzan Qima Shares is at par with the see through valuation of (that is a postmoney valuation of US$2.5 billion) Baidu Qima shares and Warrant Shares taken as a whole.
The Company intends to satisfy purchase consideration for subscribing the Youzan Qima Shares by internal resources.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE SUBSCRIPTION
The introduction of Baidu as shareholders of Qima, who is one of the well-known market players in the fields of, among other things, search engines, and artificial intelligence, will allow for business cooperation between Baidu and Qima. It is also expected that the Group can benefit from the Baidu platform to enlarge the merchant base of the Group.
Furthermore, as the subscription of new Qima Shares by Baidu SPV would result in a dilution of the Company’s interest in Qima, the Company is of the view that the Subscription will enable it to counter the aforesaid dilution effect and maintain not less than 50% equity holding in Qima.
Taking into consideration the above factors, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms and conditions of the Shares Subscription and issue of Qima Warrants are fair and reasonable, on normal commercial terms and in the ordinary and usual course of business and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
