1. Overview of the Contemplated Transaction
Overview of Key Transaction Terms(1)
Stock-for-stock merger of a wholly-owned subsidiary of HUYA with and into DouYu, with DouYu surviving the merger and becoming a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of HUYA. Existing DouYu shareholders will receive HUYA shares.
Transaction Structure; Pre-Closing Dividends Concurrently with the merger closing, DouYu will acquire Penguin for US$500 million in cash. The closing of the acquisition of Penguin is conditional on the closing of the merger.
Prior to the merger closing, HUYA will pay a dividend of US$200 million, and DouYu will pay a dividend of US$60 million, to their respective shareholders.
Exchange Ratio DouYu shareholders will receive (i) 7.30 HUYA Class A ordinary shares for each DouYu ordinary share and (ii) 0.730 HUYA ADS (each representing one HUYA share) for each DouYu ADS (each representing one-tenth of a DouYu share). The exchange ratio is based on the commercial agreement that the equity of HUYA and DouYu will be valued equally after giving effect to DouYu’s acquisition of Penguin and the pre-closing dividends.
Pro Forma Ownership Following the merger, on a fully diluted basis(2): Existing HUYA shareholders and existing DouYu shareholders will each own 50% of the equity of the combined company. Tencent will own c.47.0% of the total outstanding shares and c.67.5% of the voting power of the combined company.(3)ï,·
Governance At closing, the CEOs of HUYA and DouYu will become co-CEOs, and DouYu’s CEO will join the board of the combined company.
The name and ticker of the combined company will be agreed by HUYA, DouYu and Tencent within 3 months and 15 business days, respectively, after closing.
Key Closing Conditions In addition to customary closing conditions:
Mutual closing conditions:
DouYu’s shareholder approval (2/3 of the votes cast) has been obtained(4)
The newly-issued HUYA shares have been registered under Form F-4 and approved for listing on NYSE
HUYA’s closing conditions:
All closing conditions for DouYu’s acquisition of Penguin have been satisfied
No more than [10]% of DouYu’s ordinary shares have purported to exercise dissenter rights with respect to the merger, DouYu has given notice of its shareholder approval to such purported dissenting shareholders and DouYu has maintained the listing of its shares for 20 days following such notice(5)
All PRC regulatory clearance have been obtained(6)
DouYu has taken the required actions to transfer control over its subsidiaries and VIEs to HUYA.
Tencent is entitled to exercise the termination rights of each of HUYA and DouYu
Deal Protections /Termination Fees
DouYu may not solicit any alternative acquisition proposal. DouYu is entitled to a “general fiduciary out” to change its board recommendation in favor of the merger but not to take any other action (e.g., terminate the Merger Agreement or not convene its shareholder meeting).
DouYu’s no vote termination fee: US$[44,000,000], or approx. [1]% of DouYu’s implied equity value.
HUYA or DouYu, as the case may be, will also be obligated to pay a termination fee equal to US$[177,000,000], or approx. [4]% of DouYu’s implied equity value, if the transaction is terminated due to (i) its breach of the Merger Agreement which causes one of the closing conditions not to be satisfied and such breach is not cured within 30 days or (ii) its failure to close the merger when required.
(1) This summary of key transaction terms is prepared based the draft Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) dated October 11, 2020 and certain other information we have received to date. (2) Assuming all HUYA RSUs and options and all DouYu RSUs (as converted to HUYA RSUs) are exercised and converted to ordinary shares (calculated based on treasury stock method where appropriate).
(3) Other existing HUYA shareholders will own c.26.6% of the total outstanding shares and c.25.6% of the voting power of the combined company, and other existing DouYu shareholders will own c.26.4% of the total outstanding shares and c.6.9% of the voting power of the combined company. These figures reflected the additional contemplated share purchases by Tencent from Mr. Dong Rongjie and Mr. Chen Shaojie – see more details in the following page under footnote 2 (4) Under the Merger Agreement, Tencent will agree to vote its DouYu’s shares (38%) in favor of the merger. No HUYA shareholder vote is required to approve the merger.
(5) The Special Committee’s Cayman counsel is of the view that although Section 239 of the Cayman Islands Companies Law could be interpreted to eliminate dissenter rights in such a stock-for-stock merger, there remains a risk that certain DouYu shareholders may attempt to enforce dissenter rights and seek a court-determined “fair value” for their DouYu shares.
(6) Unless the receipt of such clearance is waived by HUYA, HUYA, DouYu and Tencent will use their reasonable best efforts to obtain all PRC regulatory clearance and will cooperate to make related filings.

Post Merger Pro Forma Shareholding Structure Overview(1)
Upon completion of the merger: (i) the total number of issued and outstanding HUYA ordinary shares (fully diluted)(1) will increase to a total of 487.4mm ordinary shares, and (ii) Tencent will have a pro forma economic interest of 47.0% and voting rights of 67.5% in the combined entity(2).
