tranches of warrants (together, the Warrants). Upon exercise, the
first tranche of Warrants provide Primavera and Ant Financial
with the right to purchase 7,309,057 and 891,348 shares of
Company common stock, respectively, at an exercise price of
$31.40 per share. The second tranche of Warrants provide

Securities Act). Each of the Investors represented to the Company
that such Investor was an accredited investor and was acquiring
the Warrants for its own account for the purpose of investment
and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any
distribution thereof, that such Investor had no present intention
or plan to effect any distribution of the Warrants, and that such
Investor could bear the risks of the investment and afford a
complete loss of its investment. The Investors received written
disclosures that the Warrants had not been registered under the
Securities Act and that any resale must be made to a registration
statement or an available exemption from such registration.
