(a) The Company

(b) Tencent Computer (for itself and on behalf of the Tencent Computer Group)

5.1.2 Principal terms

Pursuant to the Cloud Services Agreement, the Tencent Computer Group will provide cloud services and other technical services to the Company for service fees. Cloud services and other technical services include but are not limited to the provision of content delivery network services, cloud services, cloud storage, border gateway protocol, agile product development management platform, performance testing, cloud security and technical support related to cloud services, game testing and product testing services.

The initial term of the Cloud Services Agreement is from the Effective Date until December 31, 2024, subject to renewal upon the mutual agreement of the parties and compliance with the Listing Rules.

5.1.3 Reasons for and benefits of entering into the Cloud Services Agreement

The Tencent Computer Group is a leading integrated service provider for a wide range of cloud services and technical services in China and is able to provide high quality, speedy, reliable and cost-efficient services. Taking into account the wide spectrum of cloud services and technical services required for the Company’s operations and the fact that there are limited integrated and established cloud service providers in China, the Company believes that obtaining such services from the Tencent Computer Group aligns with the best interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Tencent Computer Group publishes its reference rates on its website. The service fee rates to be charged by the Tencent Computer Group will be based on the reference rates and may be adjusted depending on the range and the specifications of the services to be provided by the Tencent Computer Group.

Historically, the service fee rates for the services the Company purchased from the Tencent Computer Group have remained relatively stable. Therefore, in calculating the annual caps for the service fees under the Cloud Services Agreement, the Directors expect that such service fees rates to continue to remain stable.

5.1.5 Historical amount

The Company began to purchase cloud services and technical services from the Tencent Computer Group in 2017. For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020, and 2021, the aggregate amounts of service fees incurred by the Company were approximately RMB168.5 million, RMB215.5 million and RMB345.9 million, respectively.

5.1.6 Annual caps

In respect of the Cloud Services Agreement, the annual caps for the three years ending December 31, 2024 are set out in the table below:

	Proposed annual cap for the years ending December 31,
	2022		2023		2024
	(in RMB million)
Service fees to be incurred by the Company		691.7		1,245.0		2,241.0

5.1.7 Basis of caps

When estimating the annual caps, the Directors have taken into consideration the following factors, including:

(i) the aggregate amounts of service fees incurred by the Company which grew significantly from RMB168.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to RMB215.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, and RMB345.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021;

(ii) the anticipated growth in the number of users of the Company’s platform taking into consideration the average MAU of 117.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, 185.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 249.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, and increase in demand for bandwidth due to improved quality of video contents, leading to higher demand for cloud and technical services;

— 11 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(iii) the Group’s estimated server and bandwidth costs for each of the three years ending December 31, 2024 and the estimated proportion of cloud service fees under the Cloud Services Agreement in relation to the estimated server and bandwidth costs, after taking into account the Group’s historical growth in server and bandwidth costs between 2020 and 2021 and the increase in content offering on the Group’s platform, as substantiated by the increase in the Group’s MAU; and

(iv) the Group’s intention to increase its usage in the cloud services provided by the Tencent Computer Group taking into account the wide spectrum of cloud services and technical services required for the Company’s operations and the fact that the Tencent Computer Group is a leading integrated service provider for a wide range of cloud services and technical services in China and is able to provide high quality, speedy, reliable and cost efficient services.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

An Independent Board Committee, comprising all the independent Directors, namely, Mr. JP Gan, Mr. Eric He, Mr. Feng Li and Mr. Guoqi Ding, has been formed to consider, and to advise the independent Shareholders, among other things, whether the Cloud Services Agreement and the Collaboration Agreements are conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company, fair and reasonable, on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. Gram Capital has been appointed as the Independent Financial Adviser to make recommendations to the Independent Board Committee and the independent Shareholders on the terms of the Cloud Services Agreement, the Collaboration Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

5.4 Internal Control Measures

In order to ensure that the terms under the relevant framework agreements for the continuing connected transactions are fair and reasonable, and the transactions are carried out based on normal or no less favorable commercial terms, the Group has adopted the following internal control procedures:

• the Company has adopted and implemented a management system on connected transactions. The Board, management and various internal departments of the Company, including but not limited to the business (including but not limited to the procurement department and the demand department), the finance, and the legal departments, are jointly responsible for evaluating the terms of the framework and definitive agreements for the Company’s continuing connected transactions, in particular the fairness of the pricing policies, before the entering into of such agreements. Specifically:

• when considering the pricing policies and fees to be provided to and by the Company, the business department will, prior to the entering into of the transaction agreements, take into account the prevailing market conditions and practices and terms (including pricing policies and fees) of similar transactions with independent third parties, to ensure that the pricing and terms offered by the connected persons, are fair, reasonable and are no less favorable than those offered by independent third parties.

• where prevailing market rates are considered, usually the business department (e.g. the procurement department) will obtain quotes from at least two independent third parties in the PRC for the provision of the same or similar services and/or products for comparison against the proposed prices/fees provided by or to the Company and would only approve the proposed transaction with the connected person if the prices/ fees provided to or by the connected person is in line with transactions of similar nature with independent third parties. The business department will also evaluate the quote in respect of the capabilities of the counterparty and market practices.

• where historical transaction amounts are considered, the business department (e.g. the procurement department) will make reference to at least two quotes of the same or similar product and/or service which the Group has provided to, or received from, its existing independent third party clients or service providers or quotes of at least two historical transactions with the most similar product and/or service for comparison against the proposed prices/fees provided by or to the Company and would only approve the proposed transaction with the connected person if the price/fees provided to or by the connected person is in line with transactions of similar nature with independent third parties.

— 29 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

• in addition to referencing prevailing market rates and/or historical transactions, in the event that no comparable quotes can be obtained, or there are no historical transactions for reference, or the pricing for such products/services are not determined with reference to comparable companies, different departments (depending on the type of product or service) will carry out a comprehensive evaluation of the proposed transaction, including but not limited to analyzing and forecasting the expected increase in user traffic and revenue from the proposed transaction, to assess the potential commercial benefits. The final pricing policies and fees will be determined with reference to the evaluation results and opinion and analyses of experts in the Group with sufficient industry experience (i.e. the head of department).

By way of example, for the procurement of copyrights, according to the relevant procurement system, the relevant business department (i.e. the copyright procurement department in this example) will communicate with the demand department at the end of the year on the content to be procured in the coming year, and formulate a procurement budget which will be approved by the supervisor in charge. The copyright procurement department would then seek for opportunities to procure such copyrights and the demand department would then conduct an evaluation of the potential procurement opportunity. After receiving the evaluation results, the copyright procurement department will decide whether to initiate the negotiation process and proceed with the procurement. During the negotiation process, if the commercial terms proposed by the connected person exceed the conditions initially approved by the demand department, the copyright procurement department will seek further confirmation with the demand department again. The negotiation process would only continue if the demand department confirms that there is a strong need for such additional commercial terms and such terms are confirmed with the demand department. The negotiation process would otherwise be terminated. The aforementioned process is subject to annual review by the Company.

• in addition to the business department, the finance, and the legal departments will also review, analyze and approve the proposed transaction and terms thereof. Subsequently, the business department will consider the internal evaluations and approvals from various internal departments and determine whether to proceed with the transaction. The proposed transaction, together with its terms, will also be reviewed and approved by the Board in accordance with the Listing Rules.

• various internal departments of the Company will monitor the fulfilment status and the transaction updates under the framework agreement on a quarterly basis. The business department and the finance department are responsible for monitoring the transaction amounts of the continuing connected transactions to ensure that the annual caps under the framework agreements are complied with, and that any definitive agreement under the relevant framework agreements shall only be entered into by the Company after the completion of the internal review process. If the actual transaction amount reaches a certain threshold of an annual cap (i.e. 25% in the first quarter, 50% in the second quarter or 75% in the third quarter), or if the business and the finance departments expect that the relevant business operations will expand and may use up a substantial part of an annual cap in the short run, the matter shall promptly be escalated to the chief financial officer of the Company. The chief financial officer will assess if there is a need to revise any existing annual cap, and if so, the Company will revise the such annual cap in accordance with the relevant internal procedures and re- comply with the requirements under the Listing Rules.

— 30 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

• the independent non-executive Directors and auditors of the Company will conduct an annual review of the continuing connected transactions under the framework agreements and provide annual confirmation to ensure that in accordance with Rules 14A.55 and 14A.56 the Listing Rules that the transactions are conducted in accordance with the terms of the agreements, on normal commercial terms and in accordance with the relevant pricing policies; the audit committee of the Company will review the Company’s financial controls, risk management and internal control systems; and when considering any renewal or revisions to the framework agreements, the Company will then comply with the Listing Rules as applicable.

Reasons and benefits of the Transactions

Cloud Services Agreement

With reference to the Board Letter, the Tencent Computer Group is a leading integrated service provider for a wide range of cloud services and technical services in China and is able to provide high quality, speedy, reliable and cost-efficient services. As noted from the Prospectus and as advised by the Directors, the Group has a high demand for storage and computing capacities due to the nature of the products and services the Group offers, the Group established a long-term business relationship with the Tencent Computer Group in respect of cloud services.

With reference to the press release published by Canalys (www. canalys.com) (established in September 1998, Canalys is an independent analyst company that strives to guide clients on the future of the technology industry and to think beyond the business models of the past. Canalys delivers smart market insights to IT, channel and service provider professionals around the world), the cloud infrastructure industry in the PRC is dominated by 4 market players, taking up approximately 80% of the market share in 2021 by total expenditure, the Tencent Cloud ranked third among the top industry players, taking up approximately 16% of the market share.

Given (i) the wide spectrum of cloud services and technical services required for the Group’s operations; and (ii) that there are limited integrated and established cloud service providers in the PRC and the Tencent Computer Group is one of the leading players in the cloud IaaS market, the Company believes that obtaining such services from the Tencent Computer Group would enable the Group to provide and further enhance users of the Group with its content offering services, which aligns with the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

As shown in the table above, instant messaging remains as the highest usage of internet by internet users in the PRC for each of the five years ended 31 December 2021. There are increasing trend in the use of internet for internet videos (including short videos), internet shopping and online live streaming (which are related to the Transactions) by internet users in the PRC while the use of internet for online gaming and online music remained was relatively stable during the Review Period.

The use of internet for:

• online live streaming, in terms of percentage, increased from 54.7% as at December 2017 to 68.2% as at December 2021, represent a CAGR of approximately 5.7%.

Having considered the statistics above, we are of the view that the prospects of the TMT industry in the PRC is generally positive.

As confirmed by the Directors, as the Transactions are conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group and may be conducted on a frequent basis, it would be costly and impractical to make regular disclosure of each of the relevant transactions and obtain the prior approval from the independent Shareholders as required by the Listing Rules, if necessary. Accordingly, we concur with the Directors that the Transactions will be beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Based on the above factors, we are of the view that the Transactions are conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Principal terms of the Transactions

1. Cloud Services Agreement

Principal terms of the Cloud Services Agreement are set out as follows:

Date

29 April 2022

Parties

The Company; and

Tencent Computer (for itself and on behalf of the Tencent Computer Group)

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

Principal terms

Pursuant to the Cloud Services Agreement, the Tencent Computer Group will provide cloud services and other technical services to the Company for service fees. Cloud services and other technical services include but are not limited to the provision of content delivery network services, cloud services, cloud storage, border gateway protocol, agile product development management platform, performance testing, cloud security and technical support related to cloud services, game testing and product testing services.

The initial term of the Cloud Services Agreement is from the Effective Date until 31 December 2024, subject to renewal upon the mutual agreement of the parties and compliance with the Listing Rules.

Separate underlying agreements will be entered into which will set out the precise scope of service, service fees calculation, method of payment and other details of the service arrangement in the manner provided in the Cloud Services Agreement.

Pricing policies of the Cloud Services Agreement

Before entering into any cloud services and technical services agreement pursuant to the Cloud Services Agreement, the Company will assess its business needs and take into account a number of factors, including but not limited to (i) historical transaction amounts and/or (ii) service fee rates of the services offered by the Tencent Computer Group and other comparable independent third party service providers in the market. The Company will only enter into a cloud services and technical services agreement with the Tencent Computer Group if (i) the terms and conditions are fair and reasonable, and (ii) it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.

The Tencent Computer Group publishes its reference rates on its website. The service fee rates to be charged by the Tencent Computer Group will be based on the reference rates and may be adjusted depending on the range and the specifications of the services to be provided by the Tencent Computer Group.

To assess the fairness and reasonableness of the pricing policies, upon our request, the Directors provided us an exhaustive list of contracts entered into between the Group and the Tencent Computer Group for the three years ended 31 December 2021 for the same cloud services as those contemplated under the Cloud Services Agreement. We randomly selected from the list and obtained copies of three contracts relating to the provision of cloud services by the Tencent Computer Group, together with the three contracts entered into between the Group and independent third parties for similar could services which covered similar time period. We considered the number of contracts and the scope of the cloud services are sufficient, fair and representative and appropriate for comparison purpose. Based on the aforesaid documents, we noted that (i) the services fee rates offered by the Tencent Computer Group were no less favourable to the Group as compared to those offered by other independent third party providers; and (ii) the historical transactions were concluded with similar pricing policies as those set out under the Cloud Services Agreement. Despite that the aforesaid three contracts were related to historical transactions, we consider that we could form our view on the fairness of the pricing policies under the Cloud Services Agreement by reviewing the aforesaid three contracts as the historical transactions under the aforesaid three contracts were concluded with similar pricing policies as those set out under the Cloud Services Agreement.

Having considered the internal control procedures, in particular (i) various other internal departments of the Company will monitor the fulfilment status and the transaction updates under the Cloud Services Agreement as necessary from time to time; and (ii) there will be quotation collection and review procedures prior to the entering into of the transaction agreements, we are of the view that the effective implementation of the internal control procedures would help to ensure fair pricing of the Cloud Services Agreement according to the pricing policies. In addition, we also noted from the internal control measures that various internal departments of the Company will monitor the fulfilment status and the transaction updates under the framework agreement on a quarterly basis and there will be further actions if certain circumstances take place. As the frequency of annual cap monitoring procedures is not lower than the frequency of the Company’s publication of financial statements, we consider the frequency of annual cap monitoring procedures is appropriate.

For our due diligence purpose, we discussed with senior management (including the Company’s chief financial officer), staff of Company’s relevant departments (i.e. finance department and legal department, being the departments which will be involved in the internal control procedures) and understood that the Company’s senior management and staff of the Company’s relevant departments (i) were aware of the internal control measures; and (ii) would comply with such measures when conducting the transactions contemplated under the Cloud Services Agreement. Accordingly, we do not doubt the effectiveness of the implementation of the internal control procedures as mentioned above.

Having considered the above, in particular, (i) the Company will only enter into a cloud services agreement with the Tencent Computer Group if the terms and conditions are fair and reasonable; (ii) various other internal departments of the Company will be jointly responsible for evaluating the fairness of the pricing policies; and (iii) the Company will take into account a number of factors, including service fee rates of services offered by other comparable independent third party service providers in the market, we are of the view that the pricing policies for the cloud services to be fair and reasonable.

The table below demonstrates (i) the service fees relating to the cloud services incurred by the Company for the three years ended 31 December 2021; and (ii) proposed annual caps relating to the cloud services incurred by the Company for the three years ending 31 December 2024:

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

The proposed annual caps were determined based on certain factors, details of which are set out under the sub-section headed “5.1.7 Basis of caps” under the section headed “5.1 Cloud Services Agreement” of the Board Letter.

For our due diligence purpose, we obtained a breakdown of the historical amount and a calculation of the proposed annual caps from the Company. We noted from the breakdown that the Cloud Services provided by the Tencent Computer Group accounted for approximately 18% to 22% of the Group’s server and bandwidth costs for each of the three years ended 31 December 2021. The proposed annual caps are formulated based on (i) the Group’s estimated server and bandwidth costs for each of the three years ending 31 December 2024; and (ii) the estimated proportion of cloud service fees under the Cloud Services Agreement in relation to the estimated server and bandwidth costs.

We noted from the calculation that the Group’s estimated server and bandwidth costs are expected to increase by approximately 54% to 68% per annum for the three years ending 31 December 2024, being higher than the Group’s historical growth in server and bandwidth costs of approximately 37% for FY2021 as compared to that for FY2020. With reference to the Company’s investor presentation for the fourth quarter of 2021 and as advised by the Directors, due to the increase in the content offering on the Company’s platform, as substantiated by the year-on-year increase in (i) the Group’s average MAU of 35%; (ii) the number of monthly average active content creators of approximately 58%; (iii) the number of monthly video submission of approximately 85%; and (iv) the average daily video views of approximately 83%, for the fourth quarter of 2021 as compared to those for the fourth quarter of 2020, it is expected that the future growth rate for server and bandwidth costs shall further increase to meet the Group’s demand. Furthermore, the estimated increase in server and bandwidth costs for the three years ending 31 December 2024 is in line with the historical annual growth rates for the Group’s net revenues of approximately 64% (from FY2018 to FY2019), 77% (from FY2019 to FY2020) and 62% (from FY2020 to FY2021).

In respect of the estimated proportion of cloud service fees under the Cloud Services Agreement in relation to the estimated server and bandwidth costs, we noted from the calculation that such proportion range from approximately 28% to 35% for the three years ending 31 December 2024, being higher than the historical proportion of approximately 18% to 22% during the three years ended 31 December 2021. As further advised by the Directors, the Group historically engaged several cloud services providers (including Tencent Computer Group and other independent third parties cloud services providers) in respect of Cloud Services and intends to increase its usage in the Cloud Services provided by the Tencent Computer Group. As a result, the proportion of the cloud service fees under the Cloud Services Agreement to the estimated server and bandwidth costs is expected to increase. As mentioned in the Board Letter, the Tencent Computer Group is a leading integrated service provider for a wide range of cloud services and technical services in China and is able to provide high quality, speedy, reliable and cost-efficient services, we consider that the Group’s intention to increase its usage in the cloud services provided by the Tencent Computer Group is reasonable.

Having considered the above, we are of the view that the proposed annual caps for the three years ending 31 December 2024 to be fair and reasonable.

Shareholders should note that as the proposed annual caps for the three years ending 31 December 2024 under the Cloud Services Agreement are relating to future events and were estimated based on assumptions which may or may not remain valid for the entire period up to 31 December 2024, and they do not represent forecasts of cost to be incurred from the transactions contemplated under the Cloud Services Agreement. Consequently, we express no opinion as to how closely the actual cost to be incurred from the transactions contemplated under the Cloud Services Agreement will correspond with the proposed annual caps.

Our view on pricing policies under the Collaboration Agreements

To assess the fairness and reasonableness of the pricing policies under the Collaboration Agreements, we conducted following work done:

• In respect of IP related collaborations and licensing, we noted from the Board Letter that the purchase prices and licensing fees for IP rights can vary significantly dependent predominantly on the type of IP rights (which is diverse and may be difficult to quantify, for example, copyrights such as authorization of virtual idols and new and unique music content from musicians) and the bargaining power of the parties.

We discussed with the Directors and understood that the Group typically adopt the same type of pricing mechanism for the same type of IP rights (i.e. movies, videos, animation and comics; music, virtual idols and e-sports events). Since each individual IP right is unique in nature and not comparable with one another, the Group would perform internal assessment on various factors, such as the necessity, prices, expected commercial value and potential, potential return on investment of each IP rights, popularity and the commercial terms underlying the licensing of such IP rights before entering into any licensing agreements for IP rights, irrespective of whether the licensing agreement was entered into with connected persons or independent third parties.

— 51 —

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

Upon our request, the Directors provided us an exhaustive list of contracts entered into between the Group and Tencent and its associates for the licensing of the same types of IP rights as those contemplated under the Collaboration Agreements for the three years ended 31 December 2021. We randomly selected from the list and obtained copies of 18 agreements for the licensing of IP rights (at least one contract for each type of IP rights for each of the three years ended 31 December 2021, if applicable), together with copies of 17 contracts (covered similar number of IP rights during the same period for each type of IP rights) entered into between the Group and independent third parties for similar types of IP rights that were entered into in comparable period. We considered the number of contracts obtained, the types of IP rights covered by these contracts (i.e. animation, comics, music contents, broadcasting rights for e-sports events, etc.) and the types of pricing mechanism of these contracts (i.e. with reference to prevailing market prices; historical prices and fees for similar products and services; and comprehensive evaluation of the proposed transactions) are sufficient, fair and representative and appropriate for comparison purpose. We noted from the agreements that (i) the pricing mechanism for each type of IP rights are the same irrespective of whether they are licensed from/to connected persons or independent third parties; and (ii) the pricing mechanism for the historical transactions were similar to those as set out under the Collaboration Agreements for the licensing of IP rights.

Furthermore, we also obtained 3 sets of internal assessments performed by the Group prior to the entering into such licensing agreements for IP rights during the three years ended 31 December 2021. Based on the internal assessments, we noted that the assessments were performed by various departments of the Group, including those departments of the Group that are engaged in the content/IP related operations, and these departments of the Group would assess the necessity, prices, GMV and the expected return on investment of such IP rights, and the commercial terms and collaboration mechanism of the underlying IP licensing agreement.

• In respect of product distribution, upon our request, the Directors provided us an exhaustive list of contracts entered into between the Group and connected persons from the Company in respect of the product procured from or sold to the connected person by the Company or to the Company by the connected person for the three years ended 31 December 2021. We randomly selected and obtained one set of contracts entered into between the Group and connected persons for each of the three years ended 31 December 2021 (i.e. three sets of contracts in total). We noted from the aforesaid contracts that they are for direct purchases by brands, where the respective IP of the underlying products were exclusively owned by relevant suppliers/brands and are therefore not comparable with products under other IP owned by such suppliers/brands. As such, we enquired and understood from the Directors that, when conducting direct purchases where the underlying products are not comparable directly, the Group would assess the commercial prospects of the IP, market trends and the estimated profit margins before entering into such product procurement contracts. As also mentioned above, the Group will also refer to historical transaction amounts and the average price of products of the same/similar type under such brand.

We also obtained one set of price assessment record conducted by the business department of the Company in respect of a product distribution agreement to be entered into between the Group and each of the Tencent Computer Group and Tianwen Kadokawa. Based on the price assessment records, we noted that the business department assessed the selling price, purchase price, value-added tax rate and profit margins before such product distribution agreements being further approved by other department of the Group.

Furthermore, we also obtained (i) three sets of internal assessment records performed by the Group prior to the entering into such product distribution agreements with Tianwen Kadokawa during the three years ended 31 December 2021; and (ii) one set of internal assessment performed by the Group prior to the entering into such product distribution agreement with the Tencent Computer Group during the three years ended 31 December 2021 (being the only product distribution agreement entered into during the three years ended 31 December 2021). Based on the internal assessment records, we noted (i) the business department of the Company provided relevant draft agreements and summarised terms of such agreements; (ii) such agreements were further reviewed and approved by the finance and legal department of the Company.

For intermediary purchases and customized purchases, we further enquired and understood from the Directors that the Group had not procured any of such products from connected persons during the three years ended 31 December 2021. With reference to the Board Letter, the Group would obtain quotes from no less than two suppliers of the same/similar type of services.

• In respect of the proportion of profits from product distribution to be shared between the Company and the connected person, in particular the joint-memberships, we understood from the Directors that the proportion of profits to be shared between the Company and the Tencent Computer Group and TME Tech Shenzhen are not directly comparable to those operate between the Group and independent third parties. Despite the aforesaid, we noted that the pricing mechanism between the Group and independent third parties for similar cooperation of joint-memberships or online platforms were also based on the profit sharing mechanism and we also understood from the Directors that such pricing mechanism for the cooperation of joint-memberships or online platforms are commonly adopted among the market players. In determining the profit sharing ratio for the distribution of membership cards (i.e. the joint memberships), the Group’s business department will evaluate the potential commercial benefits (in particular, the membership volume) to be brought by either the Group or the connected persons.

We obtained the relevant agreements entered into between the Group and (i) the Tencent Computer Group; and (ii) TME Tech Shenzhen, in relation to the respective joint membership arrangements and noted that the profit to be shared between the Group and (i) the Tencent Computer Group; and (ii) TME Tech Shenzhen, were at similar level. We further noted from the Company’s annual report for the year ended 31 December 2021 (the “2021 Annual Report”) that the Group’s average MAU and average MPU for FY2021 were approximately 249.8 million users and 22.4 million users respectively whereas (i) the Tencent Group’s combined MAU of Weixin and Wechat and its fee-based VAS registered subscriptions as at 31 December 2021 were approximately 1,268.2 million users and 236.3 million subscriptions respectively; and (ii) the TME Group’s online music services paying users for FY2021 was approximately 68.6 million users. The userbase of both the Tencent Group and the TME Group were significantly larger than the userbase of the Group.

Furthermore, we also obtained two sets of internal assessment records performed by the Group prior to the entering into such joint membership arrangements (namely, the TX Joint Memberships and the TME Joint Memberships) during the three years ended 31 December 2021. Based on the internal assessment records, we noted the business department of the Company (i) provided relevant draft agreements and summarised terms of such agreements; and (ii) such agreements were further reviewed and approved by the finance and legal department of the Company.

• In respect of promotion collaboration, as mentioned above, the advertising and promotion resources and prices are fixed and can be obtained upon request and may be adjusted depending on the range and specifications of the resources (to be) purchased by the Group from the independent third party or the connected persons/sold by the Group to the independent third party or the connected persons (as the case may be).

As for the promotion collaboration where a specific live broadcast host or content creator is nominated, the Group would consider the commercial aspects such as the popularity, the effectiveness of the previous promotional and advertising activities conducted by such specific live broadcast host or content creator, and make reference to the fee rates charged by other same tier live broadcast hosts or content creators in the market in terms of popularity and effectiveness of their previous promotional and advertising activities.

Furthermore, we also obtained two sets of internal assessment records performed by the Group prior to the entering into such promotion collaboration agreements during the three years ended 31 December 2021.

Based on the aforesaid contracts, we noted that the percentage of gross proceed from mobile games to which connected persons (as publisher) were entitled was similar to the range of percentage of gross proceed from mobile games to which the Group (as publisher) was entitled.

For the licensing of gaming contents, we understood from the Directors that the pricing policies are similar as that for IP related collaborations and licensing.

• In respect of content production collaboration, we obtained an individual contract entered into between the Group and connected person, together with 3 content production collaboration contracts entered into between the Group and independent third parties during the three years ended 31 December 2021. We noted from the aforesaid contracts that the profits of such content to be shared between the Group and (i) connected persons; and (ii) the independent third parties, are based on the investment proportion of both parties.

• In respect of offline exhibitions, we obtained copies of 2 contracts entered into between the Group and connected persons, together with copies of 2 contracts entered into between the Group and independent third parties for the same exhibitions as those participated by the connected persons. Based on the aforesaid contracts, we noted that (i) the participation fees are calculated based on the floor area of the exhibition booths of the participants, regardless of whether they are connected persons or independent third parties; and (ii) participation fee rates (per square metre) charged by the Group to connected persons were the same as those charged by the Group to independent third parties.

With reference to the Board Letter, in order to ensure that the terms under the Collaboration Agreements for the continuing connected transactions are fair and reasonable, and the transactions are carried out based on normal or no less favorable terms, the Group has adopted certain internal control procedures. Details of the internal control procedures are set out in the section headed “Internal Control Measures” of the Board Letter.

Having considered the internal control procedures, in particular

(i) various other internal departments of the Company will monitor the fulfilment status and the transaction updates under the Collaboration Agreements as necessary from time to time;

(ii) where prevailing market rates and/or historical transaction amounts are considered, there will be quotation collection and review procedures prior to the entering into of the transaction agreements for both the products or services to be provided by a connected person to the Group and vice versa; and

(iii) different departments (depending on the type of product or service) will carry out a comprehensive evaluation of the proposed transaction in the event that no comparable quotes can be obtained, or there are no historical transactions for reference, or the pricing for such products/ services are not determined with reference to comparable companies. The final pricing policies and fees will be determined with reference to the evaluation results and opinion and analyses of experts in the Group with sufficient industry experience (i.e. the head of department),

we are of the view that the effective implementation of the internal control procedures would help to ensure fair pricing of the Collaboration Agreements according to the pricing policies. In addition, we also noted from the internal control measures that various internal departments of the Company will monitor the fulfilment status and the transaction updates under the framework agreement on a quarterly basis and there will be further actions if certain circumstances take place. As the frequency of annual cap monitoring procedures is not lower than the frequency of the Company’s publication of financial statements, we consider the frequency of annual cap monitoring procedures is appropriate.

For our due diligence purpose, we discussed with senior management (including the Company’s chief financial officer), staff of Company’s relevant departments (i.e. finance department and legal department, being the departments which will be involved in the internal control procedures) and understood that the Company’s senior management and staff of the Company’s relevant departments (i) were aware of the internal control measures; and (ii) would comply with such measures when conducting the transactions contemplated under the Collaboration Agreements. Accordingly, we do not doubt the effectiveness of the implementation of the internal control procedures as mentioned above.

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

We analysed the estimated amounts (costs to be incurred by the Company and income to be generated by the Company from the connected persons) for FY2022 pursuant to each of the Collaboration Agreements. Our analyses and findings are set out as follows:

I. Integrated Collaboration Framework Agreement between the Company and Tencent Computer

The table below demonstrates the historical amounts in respect of (a) cost incurred by the Company; and (b) income generated by the Company from the Tencent Computer Group, for the three years ended 31 December 2021:

	For the year ended 31 December 2019 RMB’000		For the year ended 31 December 2020 RMB’000		For the year ended 31 December 2021 RMB’000
Historical amount:
— Cost incurred by the Company		Nil		Nil		9,561
— Income to be generated by the Company from the Tencent Computer Group		9,805		16,049		26,239

As illustrated above, the estimated cost to be incurred by the Company for FY2022 represented approximately 11.2 times the historical amount for FY2021 and the estimated income to be generated by the Company from the Tencent Computer Group for FY2022 represented approximately 3.8 times the historical amount for FY2021. As advised by the Directors, the significant increase in both estimated amount for FY2022 was mainly due to the expected increase in the number of annual subscriptions for the TX Joint Membership for FY2022, which would thereby increase the cost to be incurred or income to be generated by the Company.

To assess the fairness and the reasonableness of the estimated amounts for FY2022, we further obtained a breakdown of the historical amount and a calculation of the estimated amount for FY2022 from the Company. We noted from the calculation that the estimated amount for FY2022 was formulated, based on (i) the GMV for the value-added services (“VAS”) under the joint membership generated by the Company’s platform (for calculating the cost to be incurred by the Company) and the Tencent Group’s platform (for calculating the income to be generated by the Company from the Tencent Computer Group); and (ii) the profit sharing ratio between the Company and the Tencent Computer Group for the joint membership. We understood from the Directors that in formulating the estimated amounts for FY2022, the Directors only considered and included the estimated amounts to be incurred by both the Company and the Tencent Computer Group under the TX Joint Membership.

We also noted from the aforesaid breakdown that (A) the historical amount of income generated by the Company from the Tencent Computer Group consist of (i) approximately RMB9.2 million in relation to the joint membership for FY2021; and (ii) approximately RMB9.8 million, RMB16.0 million and RMB17.0 million in relation to other matters (i.e. advertising and promotion services) for FY2019, FY2020 and FY2021, respectively; and (B) the historical amount of cost incurred by the Company for FY2021 was primarily relating to the joint membership.

The estimated GMV

We noted that the GMVs for VAS under the TX Joint Membership to be generated by the Group or by the Tencent Computer Group were calculated based on the number of annual subscriptions for the TX Joint Membership to be subscribed by users through the Company’s platform or the Tencent Group’s platform multiply by the annual subscription fee of RMB233 per annum.

We noted from the Company’s platform that the annual subscription fee for the TX Joint Membership is RMB233 per annum, which is the same as that adopted in formulating the estimated amount for FY2022.

To assess the fairness and reasonableness of number of annual subscriptions for TX Joint Membership to be subscribed by users through the Company’s platform or the Tencent Group’s platform, we conducted the following analyses:

• We understood from the Directors that the Company launched the joint membership with the Tencent Group since January 2021 (the “TX Joint Membership”). The expected number of annual subscriptions for the TX Joint Membership for FY2022 is approximately 1.8 million users in aggregate, representing several times as compared to that for FY2021.

We noted from the 2021 Annual Report that the average MPU increased from approximately 14.8 million for FY2020 to approximately 22.4 million for FY2021, representing an increase of approximately 7.6 million or approximately 51%. We also noted from Tencent’s annual report for FY2021 that the fee-based VAS registered subscriptions of the Tencent Group increased from approximately 219.5 million as at 31 December 2020 to approximately 236.3 million as at 31 December 2021, representing an increase of approximately 16.8 million or approximately 7.7%. The increases in number of both MPU of the Group (i.e. approximately 7.6 million) and fee-based VAS registered subscriptions of Tencent Group (i.e. 16.8 million) were substantially larger than the expected number of annual subscriptions for the TX Joint Membership for FY2022 (i.e. 1.8 million).

The expected number of annual subscriptions for the TX Joint Membership to be subscribed through the Company’s platform accounted for approximately 4.1% of the Group’s average MPU and approximately 0.4% of the Group’s average MAU for FY2021 while the expected number of annual subscriptions for the TX Joint Membership to be subscribed through the Tencent Group’s platform accounted for approximately 0.4% of the Tencent Group’s fee-based VAS registered subscriptions as at 31 December 2021. The expected number of annual subscriptions for the TX Joint Membership to be subscribed through the Group’s platform or Tencent Group’s platform accounted for a small portion to their respective average MPU of the Group for FY2021 or fee-based VAS registered subscriptions of Tencent Group as at 31 December 2021.

• As further advised by the Directors, since the TX Joint Membership was newly established, the Directors expected the number of subscriptions for the TX Joint Membership to rise significantly during the early stage given the sizeable userbase accumulated by both the Group (i.e. average MPU of approximately 22.4 million for FY2021) and the Tencent Group (i.e. the fee-based VAS registered subscriptions of 236.3 million as at 31 December 2021).

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

Having considered the above factors, we are of the view that the total number of annual subscriptions for the TX Joint Membership to be subscribed by users through either the Company’s platform or the Tencent Group’s platform, for FY2022 to be fair and reasonable.

In addition, according to the calculation, the proportions of “number of annual subscriptions for the TX Joint Membership to be subscribed by users through the Company’s platform” to “number of annual subscriptions for the TX Joint Membership to be subscribed by users through the Tencent Group’s platform” were at the similar level for FY2022 and were in line with the historical proportion between the Group and the Tencent Group. Based on the proportions, we consider each of (i) number of annual subscriptions for the TX Joint Membership to be subscribed by users through the Company’s platform; and (ii) number of annual subscriptions for the TX Joint Membership to be subscribed by users through the Tencent Group’s platform, for FY2022 to be fair and reasonable.

Profit sharing ratio

As the estimated profit sharing ratio between the Company and the Tencent Computer Group under the TX Joint Membership adopted in the calculation is at similar level to that as set out in the existing profit sharing arrangement between the Company and the Tencent Computer Group, we consider the estimated profit sharing ratio between the Company and the Tencent Computer Group to be reasonable.

Having considered the above factors, we consider both the estimated amounts of cost to be incurred by the Company (calculated by the estimated GMV for VAS under the TX Joint Membership generated by the Company’s platform for FY2022 times profit sharing ratio) for FY2022 and the estimated amount of income to be generated by the Company from the Tencent Computer Group (calculated by the estimated GMV for VAS under the TX Joint Membership generated by the Tencent Group’s platform for FY2022 times profit sharing ratio) for FY2022 to be fair and reasonable.

II. Copyrights Collaboration Framework Agreement between the Company and Tencent Computer

The table below demonstrates the historical amounts in respect of (a) cost incurred by the Company; and (b) income generated by the Company from the Tencent Computer Group, for the three years ended 31 December 2021:

	For the year ended 31 December 2019 RMB’000		For the year ended 31 December 2020 RMB’000		For the year ended 31 December 2021 RMB’000
Historical amount:
— Cost incurred by the Company		42,455		23,942		22,531
— Income generated by the Company from the Tencent Computer Group		1,184		33,471		8,070

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

As illustrated above, the estimated cost to be incurred by the Company for FY2022 represented approximately 4.0 times the cost incurred by the Company for FY2021; and the estimated income to be generated by the Company from the Tencent Computer Group for FY2022 represented approximately 11.2 times the income generated by the Company from the Tencent Computer Group for FY2021. As advised by the Directors, the significant increase in the estimated amounts (both cost to be generated by the Company and income to be generated by the Company from the Tencent Computer Group) were mainly due to (i) the expected increase in the number of copyrights to be licensed from/to the Tencent Computer Group; and (ii) the expected increase in licensing fees for such copyrights.

For our due diligence purpose, we obtained a breakdown in respect of the licensing of copyrights and noted that:

(i) the Group licensed 3 to 10 copyrights from Tencent Computer Group for each of FY2019, FY2020 and FY2021 and the average licensing fee for each copyright ranged from approximately RMB2 million to approximately RMB14 million for the three years ended 31 December 2021; and

(ii) the Tencent Computer Group licensed 1 to 13 copyrights from the Group for each of FY2019, FY2020 and FY2021 and the average licensing fee for each copyright ranged from approximately RMB1 million to approximately RMB5 million for the three years ended 31 December 2021.

As detailed in the sub-section headed “Pricing policies of the Collaboration Agreements” above, the licensing fee for each individual copyright depends on nature, popularity, commercial prospects of the relevant copyrights and various other commercial considerations. We understood from the Directors that in general, copyrights with more popularity are generally more expensive to license, and vice versa. We also noted that the estimated average licensing fee for FY2022 falls within the above ranges and therefore we consider the estimated average licensing fee for FY2022 to be justifiable.

In addition, we also obtained the estimated number of copyrights to be licensed by the Group to the Tencent Computer Group and number of copyrights to be licensed by the Tencent Computer Group to the Group for FY2022 respectively. We noted that (i) the estimated number of copyrights to be licensed by the Group to the Tencent Computer Group for FY2022 represented an increase of approximately 54%; and (ii) the estimated number of copyrights to be licensed by the Tencent Computer Group to the Group for FY2022 represented an increase of 100%, as compared to the respective actual number of copyrights entered into for FY2021.

As the incremental number of copyrights for FY2022 as compared to FY2021 to be licensed by the Group to the Tencent Computer Group and to be licensed by the Tencent Computer Group to the Group were in the similar moving trend to that for FY2021 as compared to FY2020 (i.e. approximately 85% increase for the number of copyrights to be licensed by the Group to the Tencent Computer Group and 150% increase for the number of copyrights to be licensed by the Tencent Computer Group to the Group), we consider the number of copyrights to be licensed by the Group to the Tencent Computer Group and number of copyrights to be licensed by the Tencent Computer Group to the Group for FY2022 to be justifiable. Accordingly, we are of the view that the estimated amounts (both cost to be incurred by the Company and income to be generated by the Company from the Tencent Computer Group) for FY2022 to be fair and reasonable.

III. Integrated Collaboration Framework Agreement between the Company and Douyu

The table below demonstrates the historical amounts in respect of (a) cost incurred by the Company; and (b) income generated by the Company from Douyu, for the three years ended 31 December 2021:

	For the year ended 31 December 2019 RMB’000		For the year ended 31 December 2020 RMB’000		For the year ended 31 December 2021 RMB’000
Historical amount:
— Cost incurred by the Company		Nil		994		11,510
— Income generated by the Company from Douyu		24		155,687		9

Upon our request, we obtained a breakdown of the historical amounts and a calculation of the estimated amount for FY2022 from the Company. We noted from the breakdown that the historical amounts (both cost incurred by the Company and income generated by the Company from Douyu) primarily consisted of the licensing of broadcasting rights of e-sports events. The estimated amount for FY2022 was formulated with reference to historical number of broadcasting rights of e-sports events and their licensing fees.

A. Cost to be incurred by the Company

We noted from the aforesaid breakdown that Douyu licensed the broadcasting rights for 1 to 9 e-sports events to the Group for each of FY2020 and FY2021 with the average licensing fee of approximately RMB1 million per broadcasting right. Based on the calculation, the Group expects to license the broadcast rights of around 9 e-sports events from Douyu for FY2022 at the estimated licensing fee of approximately RMB1 million per broadcasting right. The number of broadcasting rights of e-sports events to be licensed by the Group from Douyu for FY2022 and their licensing fees are expected to remain at similar level as those for FY2021.

We also noted from Douyu’s annual report for FY2021 that Douyu is a leading game-centric livestreaming platform in the PRC and a pioneer in the e-sports value chain, by providing access to Douyu’s user base. Douyu have successfully fostered long-term partnerships with major game developers and leading e-sports team. In addition to the streaming of official e-sports tournaments for some of the most popular e-sports games, leveraging from the business collaboration between Douyu and major game developers and publishers, Douyu also organize its own e-sports tournaments.

Based on the above factors, we are of the view that the estimated amount (cost to be incurred by the Company) for FY2022 to be fair and reasonable.

B. Income to be generated by the Company from Douyu

We noted from the aforesaid breakdown that except for the historical amount for FY2020, the historical amounts for FY2019 and FY2021 were exceptionally low as compared to the estimated amount for FY2022 (i.e. RMB10 million). Upon our enquiry, we understood from the Directors that the Group licensed part of the broadcasting rights of the Major E-sports Events (as defined below) to Douyu for FY2020 with the licensing fee of approximately RMB155.7 million. As the Major E-sports Events (as defined below) was a one-off event in FY2020, the income generated by the Company from Douyu for FY2021 was significantly lower than that for FY2020.

In respect of the estimated amounts (income to be generated by the Company from Douyu) for FY2022, the Directors advised us (i) the estimated numbers of e-sport events broadcasting rights and estimated licensing fees for FY2022; and (ii) the range of licensing fees for e-sport events broadcasting rights licensed to the Group by parties other than connected persons together with its average for FY2021.

We further noted that there had been significant volatilities in historical amounts in respect of income generated by the Company from Douyu (i.e. increase by more than 6,000 times from FY2019 to FY2020; and decrease by more than 99.99% from FY2020 to FY2021) and having also considered that the Major E-sports Events (as defined below) was a one-off event in FY2020, we concur with the Directors that it is not applicable for the Company to determine the estimated amounts (income to be generated by the Company from Douyu) for FY2022 with reference to the historical transaction amounts (income generated by the Company from Douyu).

As the Group may sublicense broadcasting rights to Douyu (with business model similar to the licensing of the Major E-sports Events (as defined below)) in FY2022, the underlying assets of the transactions for FY2022 under the Integrated Collaboration Framework Agreement between the Company and Douyu are expected to be broadcasting rights of e-sport events. Therefore, the Directors determined the estimated number of e-sport events broadcasting rights to be licensed by the Group to Douyu for FY2022 with reference to the historical number of e-sport events broadcasting rights licensed by Douyu to the Group. As (i) the estimated licensing fees for FY2022 falls within the range of licensing fees for e-sport events broadcasting rights licensed to the Group by parties other than connected persons and their averages are at the same level of the average licensing fees for e-sport events broadcasting rights licensed to the Group by parties (other than connected persons) for FY2021; (ii) the estimated number of e-sport events broadcasting rights to be licensed by the Group to Douyu was determined with reference to the historical number of e-sport events broadcasting rights licensed by Douyu to the Group; and (iii) the estimated amount for FY2022 was calculated by estimated numbers of e-sport events broadcasting rights by multiplying estimated licensing fees, we consider the estimated amount (income to be generated by the Company from Douyu) for FY2022 to be fair and reasonable.

IV. Integrated Collaboration Framework Agreement between the Company and Tianwen Kadokawa

The table below demonstrates the historical amounts in respect of (a) cost incurred by the Company; and (b) income generated by the Company from Tianwen Kadokawa, for the three years ended 31 December 2021:

	For the year ended 31 December 2019 RMB’000		For the year ended 31 December 2020 RMB’000		For the year ended 31 December 2021 RMB’000
Historical amount:
— Cost incurred by the Company		3,182		21,315		22,318
— Income generated by the Company from Tianwen Kadokawa		292		311		357

A. Cost to be incurred by the Company

Upon our request, we obtained a breakdown of the historical amount and a calculation of the estimated amount (cost to be incurred by the Company) for FY2022 from the Company. We noted from the breakdown and the calculation that the historical amounts and the estimated amount (cost to be incurred by the Company) comprised (i) the procurement of comic books and comics and animation derivative products (“ACG Products”); and (ii) the cost for other transactions (i.e. IP licensing) contemplated under the Integrated Collaboration Framework Agreement between the Company and Tianwen Kadokawa. In addition, we also noted that the estimated procurement amounts of ACG Products accounted for approximately 87% of the estimated amounts (cost to be incurred by the Company) for FY2022.

To assess the fairness and reasonableness of the estimated procurement amounts of ACG Products for FY2022, which represented significant increase of approximately 148%, as compared to the historical amount for FY2021, we conducted following analyses:

• According to the aforesaid breakdown and calculation, (i) the estimated quantity of ACG Products to be procured by the Company increased by approximately 120%; and (ii) the estimated average price for the ACG Products increased by approximately 13%, for FY2022.

We noted from the iResearch ACG Report (www. iresearchchina.com) that, the ACG peripheral market (including ACG art toy, ACG virtual idol, ACG offline entertainment and ACG apparel) in the PRC increased from approximately RMB5.3 billion for 2016 to approximately RMB35.0 billion for 2020, representing a CAGR of approximately 60.3%, and such sales is expected to further increase and reach approximately RMB102.4 billion by the year 2023 (indicating an implied CAGR of approximately 43.0% from 2020 to 2023).

• According to the 2021 Annual Report, the Group’s revenue from e-commerce and others increased by approximately 109% and 88% for the FY2020 and FY2021, as compared to that for FY2019 and FY2020 respectively. With reference to the Prospectus and as advised by the Directors, the Group’s e-commerce and others primarily consist of sale of products, mainly ACG Products, on the Group’s revenue from e-commerce platform and revenues from offline performance activities.

• We also noted from the iResearch ACG Report that the ACG industry in the PRC had passed the development stage since the appearance of certain platforms such as the Company’s platform in 2007 and the popularize of mobile internet in the PRC in 2010, the ACG industry in the PRC entered into the expansion stage where the ACG Products market is expected to grow exponentially.

Based on the above factors, in particular the exponential growth in the ACG industry and the Group’s historical growth rate for the e-commerce business, we are of the view that the significant increase of approximately 148% in the estimated procurement amounts of ACG Products for FY2022, as compared to the historical amounts for the FY2021 to be justifiable. Accordingly, we consider the estimated procurement amounts of ACG Products for FY2022 to be fair and reasonable.

As mentioned above, the estimated procurement amounts of ACG Products accounted for approximately 87% of the total estimated amount (cost to be incurred by the Company) for FY2022. As the proportion of the estimated procurement amounts of ACG products to the total estimated amount (i.e. the total estimated amounts of transactions contemplated under the Integrated Collaboration Framework Agreement between the Company and Tianwen Kadokawa) is in line with the proportion of the procurement amounts of ACG products to the total amounts for the procurement of ACG Products and other costs incurred by the Company for FY2020 and FY2021 (i.e. approximately 80% to 90%), we consider the estimated proportion of 87% is justifiable. Since the transactions contemplated under the Collaboration Agreements with Tianwen Kadokawa are mainly ACG-related (including the remaining 13% of the estimated amounts), having considered (i) the growth and prospects of the ACG industry as detailed above; (ii) the estimated proportion of the procurement amount to the total estimated amount for FY2022 is justifiable, we consider the estimated amounts (cost to be incurred by the Company) for FY2022 to be fair and reasonable.

B. Income to be generated by the Company from Tianwen Kadokawa

Upon our request, we obtained a breakdown of the historical amount and a calculation of the estimated amount (income to be generated by the Company from Tianwen Kadokawa) for FY2022 from the Company. We noted from the breakdown that the historical amounts (income to be generated by the Company from Tianwen Kadokawa) comprised of (i) the licensing fees for the licensing of copyrights to Tianwen Kadokawa (which accounted for approximately 66% of the historical amount for FY2021); and (ii) the participation fees for the participation of the Company’s offline exhibitions.

We noted from the calculation that, in formulating the estimated amount (income to be generated by the Company from Tianwen Kadokawa) for FY2022, the Directors only considered the licensing fees for the licensing of copyrights to Tianwen Kadokawa. We understood from the Directors that given the uncertainty on the hosting of offline exhibitions during the COVID-19 pandemic, the participation fee to be incurred by Tianwen Kadokawa is not considered in formulating the estimated amount (income to be generated by the Company from Tianwen Kadokawa) for FY2022.

Based on the calculation, the Group expects to license 20 copyrights to Tianwen Kadokawa with average licensing fees of approximately RMB0.1 million for FY2022.

For our due diligence purpose, we noted from the Made by Bilibili 2021–2022 press event (2021–2022 bilibili國創動畫作品發佈會) that the number of new Chinese anime titles to be released on the Company’s platform represented a substantial increase of approximately 55% as compared to the number of new Chinese anime titles announced during the Made by Bilibili 2020–2021 press event (2020–2021 bilibili國創動畫作品發佈會).

Given the above, we do not doubt reasonableness of the estimated number of copyrights to be licensed to Tianwen Kadokawa for FY2022.

In respect of the estimated licensing fees for FY2022, the Company advised us the licensing fees for copyrights which the Group licensed to Tianwen Kadokawa for the three years ended 31 December 2021. We noted that the estimated average licensing fee for FY2022 did not exceed the upper limit of the licensing fees for the three years ended 31 December 2021. Accordingly, we consider the estimated licensing fees used in formulating the estimated amount (to be incurred by Tianwen Kadokawa) for FY2022 to be justifiable.

Based on the above factors, we are of the view that the estimated amounts (income to be generated by the Company from Tianwen Kadokawa) for FY2022 to be fair and reasonable.

V. Integrated Collaboration Framework Agreement between the Company and TME Tech Shenzhen

The table below demonstrates the historical amounts in respect of (a) cost incurred by the Company; and (b) income generated by the Company from TME Tech Shenzhen, for the three years ended 31 December 2021:

	For the year ended 31 December 2019 RMB’000		For the year ended 31 December 2020 RMB’000		For the year ended 31 December 2021 RMB’000
Historical amount:
— Cost incurred by the Company		2,453		11,525		52,766
— Income generated by the Company from TME Tech Shenzhen		Nil		54,709		53,919

As illustrated above, the estimated cost to be incurred by the Company and the estimated income to be generated by the Company from TME Tech Shenzhen for FY2022 represented approximately 2.4 times the respective historical amount for FY2021. As advised by the Directors, the significant increase in both estimated amounts for FY2022 was mainly due to (i) the expected increase in the number of annual subscriptions for the TME Joint Membership; and (ii) the expected increase in estimated licensing fee for the licensing of IP in respect of musical products (“Music IP”).

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

For our due diligence purpose, we obtained breakdown of the historical amount and calculation of the estimated amounts (both cost to be incurred by the Company and income to be generated by the Company from TME Tech Shenzhen) for FY2022 from the Company. We noted from the calculation that the estimated amounts (both cost to be incurred by the Company and income to be generated by the Company from TME Tech Shenzhen) were formulated based on (A) the estimated profit sharing between the Group and TME Tech Shenzhen (based on (i) the GMV for VAS under the joint membership of the Group and TME Tech Shenzhen (the “TME Joint Membership”) to be subscribed by users through the Company’s platform and the TME Tech Shenzhen’s platform (as the case may be); and (ii) the profit sharing ratio between the Group and the TME Tech Shenzhen for the TME Joint Membership); and (B) the estimated licensing fee for Music IP.

We also noted from the aforesaid breakdown that (A) the historical amount of income generated by the Company from the TME Tech Shenzhen included (i) the actual annual amount ranged from approximately RMB15.2 million to RMB18.9 million in relation to the TME Joint Membership for FY2020 and FY2021; and (ii) the actual annual amount ranged from approximately RMB35.8 million to RMB38.7 million in relation to the licensing of Music IP for FY2020 and FY2021; and (B) the historical amount of cost incurred by the Company included (i) the actual annual amount ranged from approximately RMB11.5 million to RMB15.5 million in relation to the TME Joint Membership for FY2020 and FY2021; and (ii) the actual annual amount ranged from nil to RMB37.3 million in relation to the licensing of Music IP for the three years ended 31 December 2021.

The estimated GMV

We noted that the GMVs for VAS under the TME Joint Membership to be generated by the Group or by the TME Tech Shenzhen were calculated based on the number of annual subscriptions for the TME Joint Membership to be subscribed by users through the Company’s platform or the TME Tech Shenzhen’s platform multiply by the annual subscription fee of RMB233 per annum.

We noted from the Company’s platform that the annual subscription fee for the TME Joint Membership is RMB233 per annum, which is the same as that adopted in formulating the estimated amounts (both cost to be incurred by the Company and income to be generated by the Company from TME Tech Shenzhen).

To assess the fairness and reasonableness of number of annual subscriptions for TME Joint Membership to be subscribed by users through the Company’s platform or the TME Tech Shenzhen’s platform, we conducted the following analyses:

• We understood from the Directors that the TME Joint Membership had been launched for approximately 2 years. The expected number of annual subscriptions for TME Joint Membership for FY2022 is approximately 1.1 million subscriptions in aggregate, representing a significant increase as compared to that for FY2021.

As mentioned above, the Group’s average MPU increased from approximately 14.8 million for FY2020 to approximately 22.4 million for FY2021, representing an increase of approximately 7.6 million or approximately 51%. We also noted from the annual report of TME for FY2021 that the paying users of TME Group for online music services increased from approximately 49.4 million for FY2020 to approximately 68.6 million for FY2021, representing an increase of approximately 19.2 million or approximately 39%.

The expected number of annual subscriptions for the TME Joint Membership to be subscribed through the Group’s platform for FY2022 accounted for approximately 2.3% of the Group’s average MPU and approximately 0.2% of the Group’s average MAU for FY2021, while the expected number of annual subscriptions for the TME Joint Membership to be subscribed through TME Tech Shenzhen’s platform accounted for approximately 0.8% of the TME Group’s paying users for online music services for FY2021. The expected number of annual subscriptions for the TME Joint Membership to be subscribed through the Group’s platform or TME Tech Shenzhen’s platform accounted for a small portion to their respective average MPU or the paying users for online music services for FY2021.

Having considered the above factors, we are of the view that the total number of annual subscriptions for the TME Joint Membership to be subscribed by users through either the Company’s platform or the TME Tech Shenzhen’s platform for FY2022 are fair and reasonable.

In addition, the proportions of “number of annual subscriptions for the TME Joint Membership to be subscribed by users through the Company’s platform” to “number of annual subscriptions for the TME Joint Membership to be subscribed by users through TME Tech Shenzhen’s platform” for FY2022 were at the similar level and were in line with the historical proportion between the Group and TME Tech Shenzhen. Based on the proportions, we consider each of (i) number of annual subscriptions for the TME Joint Membership to be subscribed by users through the Company’s platform; and (ii) number of annual subscriptions for the TME Joint Membership to be subscribed by users through the TME Tech Shenzhen’s platform, for FY2022 to be fair and reasonable.

Profit sharing ratio

As (i) the estimated profit sharing ratio between the Group and the TME Tech Shenzhen under the joint membership adopted in the calculation is similar to that as set out in the profit sharing arrangement entered into between the Group and the TME Tech Shenzhen; and (ii) the profit to be shared by the Group to the TME Tech Shenzhen and to be shared by TME Tech Shenzhen to the Group are at similar level, we consider the estimated profit sharing ratio between the Group and TME Tech Shenzhen to be reasonable.

Having considered the above factors, we consider both the estimated cost to be incurred by the Company (calculated by the estimated GMV for VAS under the TME Joint Membership generated by the Company’s platform for FY2022 times profit sharing ratio) for FY2022 and the estimated income to be generated by the Company from TME Tech Shenzhen (calculated by the estimated GMV for VAS under the TME Joint Membership generated by the TME Tech Shenzhen’s platform for FY2022 times profit sharing ratio) for FY2022 to be fair and reasonable.

The estimated licensing fee for Music IP

As aforementioned, the estimated amounts (both incurred by the Company and incurred by the connected persons) include licensing fee for Music IP. We noted from the aforesaid breakdown that the Group entered into (i) 3 licensing agreements with TME Tech Shenzhen for FY2021 in relation to the Group’s licensing of Music IP to TME Tech Shenzhen, with average contract value of approximately RMB13 million per licensing agreement; and (ii) 3 licensing agreements with TME Tech Shenzhen for FY2021 in relation to TME Tech Shenzhen’s licensing of Music IP to the Group, with average contract value of approximately RMB12 million per licensing agreement. Based on the aforesaid calculation, (i) the number of licensing agreements in relation to the licensing of Music IP to TME Tech Shenzhen to be entered into between the Group and TME Tech Shenzhen for FY2022 is expected to remain at similar level as that for FY2021 with similar estimated average contract value per licensing agreement; and (ii) the number of licensing agreements in relation to the licensing of Music IP from TME Tech Shenzhen for FY2022 is also expected to remain at similar level as that for FY2021 with estimated average contract value per licensing agreement being higher than the average contract value.

We noted from TME Group’s annual report for FY2021 that TME Group has the largest music content library in the PRC. TME Group offered over 90 million music tracks on its platform as at 31 December 2021. TME Group offers music content in recorded and live, audio and video formats of music videos, concerts and music shows, as well as an increasing range of other formats including short videos, variety shows, original soundtracks for games, films and TV shows, podcasts and audiobooks.

In addition, we also noted that the estimated number of licensing agreements for Music IP for FY2022 was close to the number of licensing agreements for Music IP for FY2021. Therefore, we consider the estimated number of licensing agreements for FY2022 to be justifiable.

Upon our enquiry, the Directors advised us the licensing fees for the licensing agreement entered into between the Group and TME Tech Shenzhen in relation to the licensing of Music IP (i) to TME Tech Shenzhen; and (ii) from TME Tech Shenzhen, for FY2021. We understood that the estimated average contract value per licensing agreement in relation to the Group’s licensing of Music IP to TME Tech Shenzhen for FY2022 and the estimated average contract value per licensing agreement in relation to the TME Tech Shenzhen’s licensing of Music IP to the Group both fall within the respective contract value range for FY2021.

Having considered the above, we are of the view that the estimated average contract value per agreement to be licensed by both the Group and TME Tech Shenzhen to be justifiable.

Based on the above factors, we consider the estimated licensing fee for Music IP for FY2022 to be justifiable.

As the estimated amounts (both cost to be incurred by the Company and income to be generated by the Company from TME Tech Shenzhen) for FY2022 were calculated by the summation of the estimated profit sharing between the Group and TME Tech Shenzhen for the TME Joint Membership and the estimated licensing fee for Music IP, we consider the estimated amounts (both cost to be incurred by the Company and income to be generated by the Company from TME Tech Shenzhen) for FY2022 to be fair and reasonable.

	For the year ended 31 December 2019		For the year ended 31 December 2020		For the year ended 31 December 2021
	RMB’000		RMB’000		RMB’000
Historical amount		35,377		279,717		238,200

For our due diligence purpose, we obtained breakdown of the historical amount and calculation of the estimated amount for FY2022 from the Company. We noted from the breakdown that the historical amounts for FY2020 and FY2021 were much higher than that for FY2019. As advised by the Directors, such differences were mainly due to the fact that the Group obtained the broadcasting rights of the major premium professional e-sports events (the “Major E-sports Event(s)”) for three years from 2020 to 2023.

The estimated amount for FY2022 was formulated primarily with reference to (i) the licensing fees for the broadcasting rights of the Major E-sports Events (which accounted for approximately 84% of the total estimated amounts for FY2022); and (ii) the estimated licensing fees for the broadcasting rights of other e-sports events (which accounted for approximately 15%of the total estimated amounts for FY2022), the summation of which accounted for over 95% of the total estimated amounts for FY2022.

Licensing fees for the broadcasting rights of the Major E-sports Event

Upon our request, the Directors provided us the licensing agreement of the Major E-sports Events (the “TJ Licensing Agreement”). According to the TJ Licensing Agreement, we noted (i) the duration of the broadcasting rights granted to the Group was three years ending 2023; and (ii) the licensing fee for each individual Major E-sports Event during the contract period. The licensing fees for the remaining Major E-sports Events to take place during FY2022 and FY2023 pursuant to the TJ Licensing Agreement are the same as that set out in the aforesaid calculation.

Licensing fees for the broadcasting rights of other e-sports events

We noted that the Group entered into certain licensing agreements with TJ Sports for the 3 to 4 broadcasting rights of other e-sports events per annum for each of the three years ended 31 December 2021 with the average licensing fee of approximately RMB8.5 million per broadcasting right. Based on the aforesaid calculation, the Group expects to license 5 broadcasting rights of other e-sports events per annum with estimated licensing fee of approximately RMB9 million for FY2022.

A. Cost to be incurred by the Company

For our due diligence purpose, we obtained breakdown of the historical amount and calculation of the estimated amounts (cost to be incurred by the Company) from the Company. We noted from the breakdown that the licensing of gaming contents comprised over 70% of the historical amount incurred by the Company for FY2020 and FY2021. The estimated amount (cost to be incurred by the Company) for FY2022 was formulated on the basis that the licensing of gaming contents shall comprise of approximately 75% of the total estimated amounts (cost to be incurred by the Company) and the profits to be shared to the Tencent Computer Group in relation to the joint operation of mobile games comprise of the remaining 25% of the total estimated amounts (cost to be incurred by the Company).

We understood from the Directors that the Group licensed the gaming contents of a mobile game (the “Subject Game”) from the Tencent Computer Group in 2020 with the licensing period from 2020 to 2024. Upon our request, we obtained the relevant agreement regarding the licensing of gaming content of the Subject Game and noted minimum consideration to be paid by the Group to the Tencent Computer Group per annum in respect of the licensing of the gaming contents of the Subject Game. We searched on the internet and noted that the Subject Game was one of the five most favourite live streaming games in the PRC for the year 2020. As further advised by the Directors, the licensing fee for gaming contents varies depending on the popularity, player base and the willingness of internet users (in particular, e-sports users) to spend time on watching its relevant gaming contents on the internet. However, for the purpose of determining the estimated amount (cost to be incurred by the Company), the Directors made reference to the minimum annual consideration of the Subject Game.

Based on the aforesaid licensing fee, the estimated amounts (cost to be incurred by the Company) for FY2022 enable the Group to license the gaming contents of certain mobile games of similar size and scale from the Tencent Computer Group.

We searched on the Tencent Group’s website (www.tencent.com) and noted that Tencent Games was launched in 2003 and currently offers more than 140 self-developed and licensed games across 200 countries and regions, which provides hundreds of millions of users with cross-platform interactive entertainment experiences.

We also noted from the iResearch ACG Report that the size of the PRC’s ACG-themed gaming market record year-on-year increase during each of the year 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020, increased from approximately RMB7.9 billion for 2016 to approximately RMB41.1 billion for 2020, representing a CAGR of approximately 51.0%. According on the iResearch ACG Report, the size of PRC’s gaming market is expected to rise to approximately RMB80.1 billion by the year 2023.

Having considered the above, in particular the depth of gaming library and the popularity of the video games owned by the Tencent Group, and that the Group was contractually committed to the licensing of gaming contents of the Subject Game, we do not doubt (i) the licensing fee in relation to a video game that is of similar size and scale as the Subject Game; and (ii) the number of gaming contents to be licensed to the Group by the Tencent Computer Group for FY2022.

In respect of the profits to be shared to the Tencent Computer Group in relation to the joint operation of video games, we noted that the profit to be shared to the Tencent Computer Group was calculated based on (i) the amount paid by paying players and (ii) the estimated profit sharing ratio between the Group and the Tencent Computer Group.

— 73 —

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

Based on the aforesaid breakdown and calculation relating to the estimated amounts (cost to be incurred by the Company), we noted that (i) the estimated amount to be paid by paying players for FY2022 increased by approximately 95% as compared to that for the previous year (mainly due to the estimated increase in the number of joint-operation of games with the Tencent Computer Group), and such growth rates are lower than the growth rate of the historical amount for FY2021 as compared to FY2020; and (ii) the estimated profit sharing ratio between the Group and the Tencent Computer Group for the joint operation of relevant mobile games for FY2022 are the same as that for FY2021. Accordingly, we consider the estimated amounts of profits to be shared to the Tencent Computer Group in relation to the joint operation of video games for FY2022 to be reasonable.

Based on the above factors, we are of the view that the estimated amounts (cost to be incurred by the Company) for FY2022 to be fair and reasonable.

B. Income to be generated by the Company from the Tencent Computer Group

We also obtained breakdown of the historical amount and calculation of the estimated amount (income to be generated by the Company from the Tencent Computer Group) for FY2022 from the Company. We noted from the calculation that the estimated amount (income to be generated by the Company from the Tencent Computer Group) for FY2022 solely consist of the profits to be shared to the Group in relation to the joint operation of mobile games while the calculation mechanism of such is similar as that to be shared by the Group to the Tencent Computer Group as aforementioned.

Based on the calculation, we noted that (i) the estimated gross proceeds from paying players for FY2022 increased by approximately 59% as compared to that for FY2021 (mainly due to the estimated increase in the number of joint-operation of games with the Group), and the estimated growth rate was lower than that for FY2021 as compared to FY2020 (i.e. approximately 69%), indicating that the estimated gross proceeds from paying players for FY2022 were not overestimated; and (ii) the estimated profit sharing ratio for FY2022 were at similar level to that for FY2021.

We noted from the calculation that the estimated gross proceeds from paying players for FY2022 were formulated based on (i) the estimated number of mobile games to be jointly operated by the Group and the Tencent Computer Group; and (ii) the estimated average gross proceeds from paying players per mobile game. The number of mobile games to be jointly operated by the Group and Tencent Computer Group was estimated to increase by approximately 34% for FY2022 as compared to FY2021, and the average gross proceeds from paying players per mobile game was estimated to increase by approximately 18% for FY2022 as compared to FY2021. Based on our findings on the size of the PRC’s ACG-themed gaming market as detailed in the sub-section headed “A. Cost to be incurred by the Company” above (i.e. the size of the PRC’s gaming market increased from 2017 to 2020 with a CAGR of approximately 51.0% and the size of PRC’s ACG-themed gaming market is expected to rise to approximately RMB80.1 billion by the year 2023), we do not doubt the estimated increase in number of mobile games to be joint operated and the estimate average gross proceeds from paying players per mobile game for FY2022.

Based on the above factors, we are of the view that the estimated amounts (income to be generated by the Company from the Tencent Computer Group) for FY2022 to be fair and reasonable.

A. Cost to be incurred by the Company

To assess the fairness and reasonableness of the estimated amount (cost to be incurred by the Company) for FY2022, we conducted following analyses:

(1) We obtained a calculation of the estimated amounts of cost to be incurred by the Company for FY2022.

Based on the calculation, the total estimated amounts of cost to be incurred by the Company for FY2022 comprised (i) the estimated licensing fees to be paid by the Company to the China Literature Group; (ii) the investment amounts to be paid by the Company to the China Literature Group for joint investment projects (led by the China Literature Group); and (iii) the estimated profit to be shared by the Company to the China Literature Group for, among other things, joint investment projects. The estimated licensing fees to be paid by the Company to the China Literature Group and the investment amounts to be paid by the Company to the China Literature Group for joint investment projects (led by the China Literature Group) accounted for approximately 41% and 49% of the total cost to be incurred by the Company for FY2022 respectively. The aforesaid items are also the major factors causing the significant increase in the estimated amounts of cost to be incurred by the Company for FY2022.

(2) We noted from the calculation that the estimated licensing fees to be paid by the Company to the China Literature Group for the licensing of adapted literary works and animation and other resources accounted for the most of the estimated licensing fees to be paid by the Company to the China Literature Group for FY2022.

— 75 —

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

For our due diligence purpose, we discussed with the Directors in respect of the expected number of adapted literary works and animation and other resources, and the estimated costs for each of the adapted literary works and animation and other resources. Upon our further request, we also obtained historical figures, such as number of adopted literary works licensed to the Group, average cost for each adapted literary work, historical licensing cost, for FY2019, FY2020 and FY2021. According to the relevant figures, we noted the following:

(i) the expected number of adapted literary works to be licensed to the Group for FY2022 was made reference to the number of adapted literary works licensed to the Group for FY2021 and the increase in such number from FY2020 to FY2021, while the estimated average cost for each adapted literary work for FY2022 is in line with the trend of average cost for each adapted literary work from the third quarter of 2021 to the fourth quarter of 2021; and

(ii) the estimated number of animation and other resources to be licensed to the Group and the estimated unit cost was determined with reference to the historical licensing by the Group prior to 2019.

Therefore, we consider the estimated licensing fees to be paid by the Company to the China Literature Group for FY2022 to be reasonable.

(3) We enquired into the estimated investment amounts to be paid by the Company to the China Literature Group for joint investment projects (led by the China Literature Group) for FY2022.

We understood from the Directors that such amount was determined based on (i) estimated number of joint investment projects (led by the China Literature Group); and

(ii) the estimated investment amount for each project, and both were estimated based on the minimum number of joint investment projects and the total investment amounts for FY2022 pursuant to a cooperation agreement entered into between the Group and the China Literature Group in 2021 (the “China Literature Cooperation Agreement”). Upon our request, we obtained and reviewed the China Literature Cooperation Agreement, and acknowledged relevant figures.

As the total investment amounts for FY2022 pursuant to the China Literature Cooperation Agreement already represented approximately 86% of the estimated investment amounts to be paid by the Company, we consider such estimation for FY2022 to be justifiable.

Based on the above factors, we consider the estimated amounts (cost to be incurred by the Company) for FY2022 to be fair and reasonable.

B. Income to be generated by the Company from the China Literature Group

We noted the estimated amount (income to be generated by the Company from the China Literature Group) for FY2022 was RMB50 million whereas the historical amount was at a minimal level for FY2021. To assess the fairness and reasonableness of the estimated amounts (income to be generated by the Company from the China Literature Group) for FY2022, we conducted following analyses:

(1) We obtained a calculation of the estimated amount of income to be generated by the Company from the China Literature Group (which was close to the total estimated amounts (income to be generated by the Company from the China Literature Group)) for FY2022.

Based on the calculation, the total estimated amount (income to be generated by the Company from the China Literature Group) comprised (i) the investment amounts to be paid by the China Literature Group to the Group; and (ii) the estimated profit to be shared by the China Literature Group to the Group for joint investment projects.

(2) We enquired into the estimated investment amounts to be paid by the China Literature Group to the Company for FY2022. We understood from the Directors that such amount was determined on the assumption that (i) there will be two joint investment projects; and (ii) the estimated investment amount for such projects.

As the estimated investment amount for such projects were made reference to the investment amounts paid by investors for the Group’s existing joint investment projects (led by the Group), we consider such assumptions to be justifiable. Accordingly, we consider the estimated investment amounts to be paid by the China Literature Group to the Company for FY2022 to be justifiable.

(3) The estimated profit to be shared by the China Literature Group to the Company is calculated based on the estimated investment return (which the Group is entitled to share profit) and the profit sharing ratio for such return.

We further noted that the profit sharing ratio for calculating estimated amount (income to be generated by the Company from the China Literature Group) for FY2022 is the same as the profit sharing ratio for certain collaborations (for which the Group is entitled to share profit) pursuant to the China Literature Cooperation Agreement, we consider the estimated investment return and the profit sharing ratio to be justifiable.

Based on the above factors, in particular (A) both the (i) the estimated investment amounts to be paid by the China Literature Group to the Company; and (ii) the estimated investment return and the profit sharing ratio to be justifiable for FY2022 as analysed above; and (B) the total estimated amounts (income to be generated by the Company from the China Literature Group) was in line with (with difference of approximately 2%) the summation of the aforesaid item (i) and (ii), we consider the total estimated amounts (income to be generated by the Company from the China Literature Group) for FY2022 to be fair and reasonable.

In respect of the estimated licensing fees for other IP collaboration arrangement for FY2022, with historical figures provided by the Company, we noted that (i) the estimated number of e-sports events broadcasting rights to be licensed to the Group was made reference to the number of such rights licensed to the Group for FY2020 and FY2021; and

(ii) the estimated average licensing fees for each e-sports events broadcasting right is close to the average historical licensing fees paid by the Group to Huya Group for each e-sports event broadcasting right for FY2020 and FY2021.

According to Huya’s annual report for FY2021, Huya provided live streaming services for over approximately 380 third-party e-sports tournaments and game events in 2021, over some of which Huya has also obtained exclusive broadcasting rights. As (i) Huya provided live streaming services for several e-sports tournaments and game events in 2021 with some exclusive broadcasting rights; and (ii) save for the 2021 IP Collaboration Arrangement (Huya), Huya Group also granted the Group license for live broadcasting for other events, we concur with the Directors that it is possible for Huya Group to grant the Group license for live broadcasting for more events during the term of the Collaboration Agreements. Having also considered that the differences in estimated number of e-sports events broadcasting rights to be licensed to the Group for FY2022 and number of such rights licensed to the Group for FY2020 was only one event, we are of the view that the estimated number of e-sports events broadcasting rights to be licensed to the Group is reasonable.

As (i) the estimated number of e-sports events broadcasting rights to be licensed to the Group is reasonable; and (ii) the estimated average licensing fees for each e-sports events broadcasting right is close to (with difference of less than 5%) the average historical licensing fees paid by the Group to Huya Group for each e-sports event broadcasting right for FY2020 and FY2021, we consider that the estimated licensing fees for the licensing of the broadcasting rights of other e-sports events for FY2022, calculated by the aforesaid item (i) times item (ii), are justifiable.

Based on the above factors, we consider the estimated amount (cost to be incurred by the Company) for FY2022 to be fair and reasonable.

B. Income to be generated by the Company from the Huya Group

We noted the estimated amount (income to be generated by the Company from the Huya Group) for FY2022 of RMB700 million represented an increase of approximately 65% as compared to the historical amount for FY2021. To assess the fairness and reasonableness of the estimated amounts (income to be generated by the Company from the Huya Group) for FY2022, we conducted the following analyses:

(1) Upon our request, the Company provided us the calculation of the estimated amount (income to be generated by the Company from the Huya Group) for FY2022. We noted that the estimated amount (income to be generated by the Company from the Huya Group) for FY2022 consisted of the estimated licensing fees for broadcasting rights of e-sports events (including the Major E-sports Events and other e-sports events). The estimated licensing fees for FY2022 comprised (i) consideration of the 2021 IP Collaboration Arrangement (Huya) for FY2022 to be incurred by the Huya Group for the licensing of the broadcasting rights for the Major E-sports Events; and (ii) estimated licensing fees for other IP collaboration arrangement for FY2022.

In respect of the consideration of the 2021 IP Collaboration Arrangement (Huya) for FY2022 to be incurred by the Huya Group for the licensing of the broadcasting rights for the Major E-sports Events, we reviewed the key terms of relevant agreement and acknowledged the amount.

In respect of the estimated licensing fees for other IP collaboration arrangement for FY2022, we noted from the calculation that the Group expects to license broadcasting rights of one e-sports event with estimated licensing fees for FY2022, which was determined with reference to the average licensing fees for the e-sports event broadcasting right licensed from Huya Group for FY2020 and FY2021.

Based on the above factors, we consider the estimated licensing fees for other IP collaboration arrangement for FY2022 to be justifiable.

Based on the above factors, we consider the estimated amounts (income to be generated by the Company from the Huya Group) for FY2022 to be fair and reasonable.

Our view on the proposed annual caps for FY2022

As the proposed annual caps for both cost to be incurred by the Company and income to be generated by the Company from the connected persons for FY2022 are the summations of the estimated amounts (both cost to be incurred by the Company and income to be generated by the Company from the connected persons, as the case may be) pursuant to each of the Collaboration Agreements, which are fair and reasonable as per our analyses above, we consider the proposed annual caps for both cost to be incurred by the Company and income to be generated by the Company from the connected persons for FY2022 to be fair and reasonable.

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

Our view on the proposed annual caps for FY2023 and FY2024

The proposed annual caps (cost to be incurred by the Company) for FY2023 and FY2024 represented increases of approximately 65% and 85% as compared to those for FY2022 and FY2023 respectively. On the other hand, the proposed annual caps (income to be generated by the Company from the connected persons) for FY2023 and FY2024 represented increases of approximately 66% and 61% as compared to those for FY2022 and FY2023 respectively.

Having considered the following factors:

• the reasons for the anticipated growth/increase for FY2023 and FY2024 as set out in the Board Letter;

• historical amounts of (i) cost incurred by the Company represented increases of approximately 279% from FY2019 to FY2020; and approximately 85% from FY2020 to FY2021; and (ii) income generated by the Company from the connected persons represented increases of approximately 1,262% from FY2019 to FY2020; and approximately 22% from FY2020 to FY2021;

• according to the 2021 Annual Report, the Group’s net revenues substantially increased by approximately 77% and 62% for FY2020 and FY2021; and the Group’s total operating expenses also substantially increased by approximately 123% and 75% for FY2020 and FY2021, as compared to those for FY2019 and FY2020 respectively, mainly due to the growth of the Group’s user base and the provision and commercialization of the Group’s diversified product and service offerings as the result of the Group’s execution of its management strategy to invest in the expansion of its user base and the growth of its business.

In addition, according to the Prospectus:

• the Group’s average MAU increased by approximately 58% and 34% for FY2020 and FY2021 respectively, as compared to that for FY2019 and FY2020;

• the Group’s average MPU increased by approximately 106% and 51% for FY2020 and FY2021 respectively, as compared to that for FY2019 and FY2020; and

• the Group’s paying ratio increased by approximately 31% and 13% for FY2020 and FY2021 respectively, as compared to that for FY2019 and FY2020; and

• based on the iResearch E-sports Report, the e-sports market in the PRC entered into the explosion stage in the year 2018, e-sports was introduced as an official event of the “Hangzhou Asian Games” and International Olympic Committee held the “Olympic Virtual Series” for the first time, with more professional e-sports competition association founded, the commercialization of e-sports competition was accelerated. The market size of the e-sports market in the PRC increased from approximately RMB89.6 billion for the year 2018 to approximately RMB147.4 billion for the year 2020, such market size is estimated to continue rising and shall reach approximately RMB215.7 billion for the year 2022, such estimated growth from the year 2018 to the year 2022 represents a CAGR of approximately

24.6%. Furthermore, the number of e-sports users increased from approximately 439 million users for the year 2018 to approximately 500 million users for the year 2020, and is estimated to further increase to approximately 525 million users for the year 2022. According to the iResearch E-sports Report (www.iresearchchina.com), 83.7% of the e-sports users would watch e-sports live broadcast, being most common e-sports related activity carried out among the e-sports users,

we consider the increases in proposed annual caps (cost to be incurred by the Company) and proposed annual caps (income to be generated by the Company from the connected persons) for FY2023 and FY2024 to be justifiable. Accordingly, we consider the proposed annual caps (cost to be incurred by the Company) and proposed annual caps (income to be generated by the Company from the connected persons) for FY2023 and FY2024, based on the relevant proposed annual caps for FY2022, to be fair and reasonable.

Shareholders should note that as the proposed annual caps for the three years ending 31 December 2024 under the Collaboration Agreements are relating to future events and were estimated based on assumptions which may or may not remain valid for the entire period up to 31 December 2024, and they do not represent forecasts of revenue to be generated or cost to be incurred from the transactions contemplated under the Collaboration Agreements. Consequently, we express no opinion as to how closely the actual revenue to be generated or actual cost to be incurred from the transactions contemplated under the Collaboration Agreements will correspond with the proposed annual caps.

Having considered the factors, we are of the view that the terms of the transactions contemplated under the Collaboration Agreements are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable.

Listing Rules implications

The Directors confirmed that the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rules 14A.53 to 14A.59 of the Listing Rules pursuant to which (i) the Transactions must be restricted by the relevant proposed annual caps; (ii) the terms of the Transactions (together with the proposed annual caps) must be reviewed by the independent non-executive Directors annually; (iii) details of independent non-executive Directors’ annual review on the terms of the Transactions (together with the proposed annual caps) must be included in the Company’s subsequent published annual reports.

In the event that the value of the Transactions is anticipated to exceed the proposed annual caps, or that there is any proposed material amendment to the terms of the Transactions, as confirmed by the Directors, the Company shall comply with the applicable provisions of the Listing Rules governing continuing connected transactions.

APPENDIX II         EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules, to provide information for you to make a reasonably informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution with respect to the Share Repurchase Mandate to be proposed at the AGM.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at February 28, 2022, the Company had a total of 390,604,587 issued and outstanding Shares.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution with respect to the Share Repurchase Mandate to be proposed at the AGM, and on the basis that the Company’s total issued share capital remains unchanged from February 28, 2022 to the AGM date, the Directors would be authorized under the Share Repurchase Mandate to repurchase up to 39,060,458 Class Z Ordinary Shares and/or ADSs, representing 10% of the Company’s total issued share capital, during the Share Repurchase Mandate period.

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASING SHARES

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and Shareholders to have a general authority from Shareholders to enable the Company to purchase Class Z Ordinary Shares and/or ADSs in the market. The repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Class Z Ordinary Share and/or ADS and/or its earnings per Class Z Ordinary Share and/or ADS and will be made only when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and Shareholders.

The Directors have no present intention to cause the Company to repurchase any Class Z Ordinary Shares and/or ADSs and they would exercise the power to repurchase only in circumstances where they consider that the repurchase would be in the best interests of the Company and Shareholders.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Repurchases of Class Z Ordinary Shares and/or ADSs will be funded from the Company’s internal resources, which includes funds legally available for such purposes in accordance with the Articles of Association, the Listing Rules, and applicable laws and regulations in the Cayman Islands, Hong Kong and elsewhere (as the case may be).

4. IMPACT OF REPURCHASES

There may be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited accounts contained in the Company’s annual report for the year ended December 31, 2021) in the event that the Share Repurchase Mandate was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s working capital requirements or gearing levels that, in the opinion of the Directors, are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

5. TAKEOVERS CODE

If, on the exercise of the power to repurchase Class Z Ordinary Shares and/or ADSs pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the Company’s voting right increases, this increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (as defined in the Takeovers Code) could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

— 85 —

APPENDIX II         EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

As at February 28, 2022, to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, the WVR Beneficiaries, Mr. Rui Chen, Mr. Yi Xu and Ms. Ni Li, were interested in a total of 83,715,114 Class Y Ordinary Shares, representing a total of 73.2% voting rights in the Company with respect to Shareholders’ resolutions relating to matters other than the Reserved Matters (excluding 2,767,265 Class Z Ordinary Shares issued and reserved for future issuance upon the exercise or vesting of awards granted under the Company’s share incentive plans). Pursuant to Rule 8A.15 of the Listing Rules, in the event that the Directors exercise the Repurchase Mandate, the WVR Beneficiaries must reduce their weighted voting rights in the Company proportionately through conversion of a proportion of their shareholding into Class Z Ordinary Shares, if the reduction in the number of Shares in issue would otherwise result in an increase in the proportion of Class Y Ordinary Shares. As such, to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, the exercise of the Repurchase Mandate is not expected to give rise to an obligation of the WVR Beneficiaries to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code. The Directors have no present intention to repurchase the Shares to the extent that will trigger the obligations under the Takeovers Code to make a mandatory offer. The Directors are not aware of any other consequences which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any purchase by the Company of its Shares.

In addition, the Directors do not propose to repurchase Shares which would result in less than the relevant prescribed minimum percentage of Shares in public hands as required by the Stock Exchange.

6. MARKET PRICES OF SHARES

The Directors may at any time declare a Share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this Article. The Company’s lien on a Share extends to any amount payable in respect of it, including but not limited to dividends.

26. The Company may sell, in such manner as the Directors in their absolute discretion think fit, any Share on which the Company has a lien, but no sale shall be made unless an amount in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable nor until the expiration of fourteen calendar days after a notice in writing, demanding payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable, has been given to the registered holder for the time being of the Share, or the Persons entitled thereto by reason of his death or bankruptcy.

27. For giving effect to any such sale the Directors may authorise a Person to transfer the Shares sold to the purchaser thereof. The purchaser shall be registered as the holder of the Shares comprised in any such transfer and he shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall his title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the sale.

28. The proceeds of the sale after deduction of expenses, fees and commissions incurred by the Company shall be received by the Company and applied in payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable, and the residue shall (subject to a like lien for sums not presently payable as existed upon the Shares prior to the sale) be paid to the Person entitled to the Shares immediately prior to the sale.

29. Subject to the terms of the allotment, the Directors may from time to time make calls upon the Shareholders in respect of any moneys unpaid on their Shares, and each Shareholder shall (subject to receiving at least fourteen calendar days’ notice specifying the time or times of payment) pay to the Company at the time or times so specified the amount called on such Shares.

32. The provisions of these Articles as to the liability of joint holders and as to payment of interest shall apply in the case of non-payment of any sum which, by the terms of issue of a Share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on account of the amount of the Share, or by way of premium, as if the same had become payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

33. The Directors may make arrangements with respect to the issue of partly paid Shares for a difference between the Shareholders, or the particular Shares, in the amount of calls to be paid and in the times of payment.

34. The Directors may, if they think fit, receive from any Shareholder willing to advance the same all or any part of the moneys uncalled and unpaid upon any partly paid Shares held by him, and upon all or any of the moneys so advanced may (until the same would, but for such advance, become presently payable) pay interest at such rate (not exceeding without the sanction of an Ordinary Resolution, eight percent per annum) as may be agreed upon between the Shareholder paying the sum in advance and the Directors.No such sum paid in advance of calls shall entitle the Member paying such sum to any portion of a dividend declared in respect of any period prior to the date upon which such sum would, but for such payment, become presently payable.

FORFEITURE OF SHARES

35. If a Shareholder fails to pay any call or instalment of a call in respect of partly paid Shares on the day appointed for payment, the Directors may, at any time thereafter during such time as any part of such call or instalment remains unpaid, serve a notice on him requiring payment of so much of the call or instalment as is unpaid, together with any interest which may have accrued.

36. The notice shall name a further day (not earlier than the expiration of fourteen calendar days from the date of the notice) on or before which the payment required by the notice is to be made, and shall state that in the event of non-payment at or before the time appointed, the Shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited.

37. If the requirements of any such notice as aforesaid are not complied with, any Share in respect of which the notice has been given may at any time thereafter, before the payment required by notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors to that effect.

38. A forfeited Share may be sold or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the Directors think fit, and at any time before a sale or disposition the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors think fit.

39. A Person whose Shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Shareholder in respect of the forfeited Shares, but shall, notwithstanding, remain liable to pay to the Company all moneys which at the date of forfeiture were payable by him to the Company in respect of the Shares forfeited, but his liability shall cease if and when the Company receives payment in full of the amount unpaid on the Shares forfeited.

— 108 —

APPENDIX IV         PROPOSED NEW ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

42. The provisions of these Articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non-payment of any sum which by the terms of issue of a Share becomes due and payable, whether on account of the amount of the Share, or by way of premium, as if the same had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.
