CUSIP No. | 091727925 |
|
Board representation. JD Global is entitled to appoint one director on the board of directors of the Issuer, as long as JD Global holds no less than 12.5% of the then issued and outstanding share capital of the Issuer on a fully diluted basis. The director appointed by JD Global is entitled to serve on the compensation committee and the nominating and corporate governance committee of the board of the Issuer, unless a majority of the board determines in good faith that such service on the committee would violate any applicable law or result in the Issuer not be in full compliance with the applicable stock exchange requirements without seeking exemptions. If at any time any representative of any other shareholder has the right to attend the meetings of any committee of the board in a non-voting observer capacity and the director appointed by JD Global is not a member of such committee, the director appointed by JD Global has the right, as a non-voting observer, to attend all meetings of and observe all deliberations of any such committee.
Demand registration rights. Registrable securities refer to all of the Ordinary Shares acquired by JD Global, Tencent, Baidu Holdings Limited pursuant to the 2015 Share Subscription Agreement and/or the 2016 Share Subscription Agreement. Holders of at least 50% of the registrable securities then outstanding have the right to demand that the Issuer file a registration statement covering the registration of registrable securities with a market value in excess of US$100 million. However, the Issuer is not obligated to effect any demand registration if it has already effected a registration within the six-month period preceding the demand. The Issuer is obligated to effect only three demand registrations for each of JD Global, Tencent, Baidu Holdings Limited. The demand registration rights in the Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement are subject to customary restrictions, such as limitations on the number of securities to be included in any underwritten offering imposed by the underwriter.
Piggyback registration rights. If the Issuer proposes to file a registration statement for a public offering of its securities other than a registration statement relating to any employee benefit plan or a corporate reorganization, the Issuer must offer holders of its registrable securities an opportunity to include in the registration all or any part of their registrable securities. The demand registration rights in the Investor Rights Agreement are subject to customary restrictions, such as limitations on the number of securities to be included in any underwritten offering imposed by the underwriter.
Form F-3 registration rights. Holders of a majority of the registrable securities then outstanding have the right to request the Issuer to effect registration statements on Form F-3. However, the Issuer is not obligated to effect any such registration, if the proceeds from the sale of registable securities (net of underwriters’ discounts or commissions) will be less than US$1.0 million or the Issuer has already effected a registration within the six-month period preceding the request.
Expenses of obligations. The Issuer will bear all registration expenses incurred in connection with any demand, piggyback or F-3 registration, including reasonable expenses of one legal counsel for the holders, but excluding underwriting discounts and selling commissions and ADS issuance fees charged by the depositary bank of the Issuer. Holders of registrable securities will bear such holder’s proportionate share (based on the total number of shares sold in such registration other than for the Issuer’s account) of all underwriting discounts and selling commissions or other amounts payable to underwriters or brokers.
The foregoing description of the Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement does not purport to be a complete description of the terms thereof and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement. A copy of the Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement is filed as Exhibit 99.6 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
CUSIP No. | 091727925 |
|
Except as described above or elsewhere in this Statement or incorporated by reference in this Statement, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) between the Reporting Persons or, to the best of their knowledge, any of the persons named in Schedule A hereto and any other person with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including, but not limited to, transfer or voting of any securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or losses, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
