THE AMENDED SHAREHOLDERS' AGREEMENT

On 24 September 2019 (after trading hours), the Management Shareholders, the Management Shareholders Holdcos, the Company, the Investor, VBill (Cayman), WFOE, Chongqing JIM and VBill OPCO entered into an amendment and restatement agreement to amend and restate the Original Shareholders' Agreement. The Amended Shareholders' Agreement regulates and governs the rights and obligations of each VBill (Cayman) Shareholder in respect of the securities in VBill (Cayman) (including the grant of the Put Option), and the management and operation of VBill (Cayman) Group.

IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES

  1. The 2nd Amended Subscription Agreement and the Deemed Disposal
    As certain applicable percentage ratios (as defined under the Listing Rules) under the Listing Rules in respect of the Deemed Disposal exceed 5% but all applicable percentage ratios are less than 25%, the Deemed Disposal constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company and is therefore subject to the notification and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
    Due to the relationship between the parties, each of Shen, Li, Xue and Ge (i.e. the Management Shareholders, together with Shen Holdco, Li Holdco, Xue Holdco and Ge Holdco which is respectively an associate of Shen, Li, Xue and Ge) is a connected person of the Company at subsidiary level. The 2nd Amended Subscription Agreement between the Company and the Management Shareholders, and the transactions contemplated thereunder (including the Amended Shareholders' Agreement) constitute connected transactions of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules and are subject to the reporting and announcement requirements but are exempt from the circular, independent financial advice and shareholders' approval requirements pursuant to Rule 14A.101 of the Listing Rules.
  2. The Put Option
    As certain applicable percentage ratios (as defined under the Listing Rules) under the Listing Rules in respect of the grant and exercise of the Put Option (the exercise of which is not at the discretion of the Company) exceed 5% but all applicable percentage ratios are less than 25%, the grant and the exercise of the Put Option constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company and is therefore subject to the notification and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

Completion of the 2nd Amended Subscription Agreement, the Deemed Disposal, the grant of Put Option and other transactions contemplated under the 2nd Amended Subscription Agreement and the ancillary agreements thereto may or may not proceed as they are subject to a number of conditions which may or may not be fulfilled. Shareholders and potential investors of the Company are therefore advised to exercise caution when dealing in the shares of the Company.

  1. BACKGROUND AND RESTATEMENT OF THE PREVIOUS TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS

Reference is made to the announcements of the Company dated 12 February 2019, 21 May 2019 and 18 July 2019, and the circular of the Company dated 21 June 2019 in respect of the discloseable transaction and major transaction contemplated under the Original Subscription Agreement and the Original Shareholders' Agreement as well as certain VIE restructuring concern the group of companies comprising Hunan Yunrong, VBill OPCO and Chongqing JIM ("VIE Restructuring"). At the special general meeting of the Company held on 18 July 2019, the Shareholders passed the ordinary resolution to approve the Previous Transaction Documents. Pursuant to the Original Subscription Agreement, completion of the subscription by the Investor is conditional upon, among other matters, the completion of the Restructuring. As at the date of this announcement, the major outstanding step of the Restructuring is completion of the Share Swap Agreement ("Share Swap Completion"), and termination of the 2014 Share Option Agreement, which is to be effected on the Share Swap Completion.

Share Swap Completion is conditional upon approval from the People's Bank of China ("PBOC") of the Share Swap Agreement followed by the registration of the shareholding changes with the local Administration of Industry and Commerce of the PRC ("AIC"). The application for approval for the Share Swap Agreement was submitted to the PBOC in April 2019. After consultation with PBOC, the parties understand that the approval process is still underway and there is no definite timeframe for the approval. In light of the approval process of the PBOC, the parties intended to remove Share Swap Completion and termination of the 2014 Share Option Agreement (i.e. step 8(ii) of the Restructuring, detailed below) as conditions to completion of the subscription contemplated under the Original Subscription Agreement. To facilitate the removal of such condition, the parties also intended to make consequential changes to certain terms of the Previous Transaction Documents.

On 24 September 2019, the Previous Transaction Documents have been amended and restated by the relevant parties and such amended and/or restated agreements constitute new transactions for the Company under Chapter 14 and Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. With effect from 24 September 2019, the 2nd Amended Subscription Agreement and the Amended Shareholders' Agreement shall take effect in substitution for the Previous Transaction Documents.

Shen is the sole director and sole shareholder of Shen Holdco which is a special purpose vehicle wholly-owned by Shen for holding the VBill Shares for Shen.
  2. Li is the chief executive officer of VBill OPCO and the supervisor of a subsidiary of VBill OPCO. As at the date of this announcement, Li holds 4.80% equity interest in VBill OPCO.

The Management Shareholders, Chongqing JIM, VBill OPCO, Zhou and Na entered into the Share Swap Agreement for the share swap of equity interest in Chongqing JIM and VBill OPCO. Upon completion of the Share Swap Agreement, each of the Management Shareholders will cease to hold any direct interest in VBill OPCO, while each of Zhou, Na, Shen, Li, Xue and Ge will become a registered shareholder of Chongqing JIM, holding 57.00%, 38.00%, 2.50%, 1.20%, 0.80% and 0.50%, respectively, of Chongqing JIM.

Under the Existing ESOP, Shen, Li and Guo (the Proposed Grantees under the ESOP Restructuring) have been granted options to contribute to the registered capital of VBill OPCO at the subscription price of RMB12.51 for every RMB1.00 in the registered capital of VBill OPCO. If the said options are exercised in full, the aggregate percentage of the enlarged registered capital attributable to Shen, Li and Guo are approximately 6%, 3% and 3% respectively (assuming VBill OPCO's registered capital remains unchanged from the date of grant of the said options up to and including the date of exercise of such options in full). As at the date of this announcement, none of the Proposed Grantees has exercised any options and hence such options remain outstanding. The Existing ESOP and all the said outstanding options will be cancelled upon completion of the ESOP Restructuring as detailed in the paragraph headed "Existing ESOP" below.

Under the Existing JIM Control Documents, a contractual arrangement has been made which allows Shanghai JIM to exercise control and enjoy all economic benefits generated from Chongqing JIM and its subsidiaries (including VBill OPCO and its subsidiaries). As at the date of this announcement, Chongqing JIM is accounted for as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group, while VBill OPCO is accounted for as an 80.04% owned subsidiary of the Group. Before completion of the Share Swap Agreement and through the New JIM Control Documents (Pre-Swap), VBill (Cayman) (through the WFOE) indirectly exerts management control and enjoy all economic benefits generated from Chongqing JIM and the VBill Group. Upon completion of the Share Swap Agreement, the New JIM Control Documents will take effect, whereby VBill (Cayman) will continue exert management control and enjoy all economic benefits generated from Chongqing JIM and the VBill Group through WFOE.

The Investor is a besloten vennootschap incorporated in the Netherlands. The principal business of the Investor is investment holding and as of the date of this announcement, the Investor has not conducted any business other than in relation to the transactions described herein. The Investor is indirectly owned by the EQT MM Asia Fund and certain EQT employee co-investment partnerships, which is part of the EQT group of private investment funds advised by EQT Partners.

EQT funds have portfolio companies in Europe, Asia and the United States of America with total sales of more than Euro 21 billion and approximately 127,000 employees. EQT works with portfolio companies to achieve sustainable growth, operational excellence and market leadership.

As at the date of this announcement, VBill (Cayman) is owned as to 80.04% by the Company, 9.96% by Shen Holdco, 4.80% by Li Holdco, 3.20% by Xue Holdco and 2.00% by Ge Holdco. Immediately before the Completion, VBill (Cayman) will be 100% owned by the Company. Immediately after the Completion (assuming 8(ii) of the Restructuring has not completed at Completion), VBill (Cayman) will be owned as to approximately 85.99% by the Company and approximately 14.01% by the Investor and will be a non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

The WFOE is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the VBill (Cayman) and is the wholly foreign owned enterprise designated by VBill (Cayman) to exert control over Chongqing JIM and the VBill OPCO through the New JIM Control Documents and New JIM Control Documents (Pre-Swap).

To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, save as the relationship between the parties disclosed above, all the parties to the 2nd Amended Subscription Agreement and Amended Shareholders' Agreement, including the Investor, and their ultimate beneficial owners, are Independent Third Parties.

Subject matter - The Subscription

Pursuant to the 2nd Amended Subscription Agreement, the Investor shall subscribe for, and be allotted the Subscription Shares at Completion at the Subscription Price on the Completion Date.

In the event completion of the entire Restructuring (as disclosed under the paragraph headed "The Restructuring" below) has taken place as at Completion (i.e. 100% of VBill Group is held by Chongqing JIM), the Subscription Shares shall be 1,263 VBill Shares, which shall represent approximately 11.21% of the total number of issued Shares immediately after Completion on a fully diluted basis. In the event step 8(ii) of the Restructuring has not yet taken place (i.e. 80.04% of VBill Group is held by Chongqing JIM), the Subscription Shares shall be 1,304 VBill Shares, which shall represent approximately 14.01% of the total number of issued Shares immediately after Completion on a fully diluted basis.

The Subscription Shares shall be allotted and issued by VBill (Cayman) on the Completion Date free from all encumbrances, and together with all rights attaching thereto upon allotment and issue and at any time thereafter, including all rights to any dividend or other distribution declared, made or payable by VBill (Cayman) by reference to a record date falling on or after the Completion Date.

Termination

If Completion does not take place on the Completion Date because any party (the "Defaulting Party") fails to comply with any of its obligations under the 2nd Amended Subscription Agreement (whether such failure amounts to a repudiatory breach or not), the Investor (if Defaulting Party is a Controlling Group Member or VBill (Cayman)) or VBill (Cayman) (if the Defaulting Party is Investor) may, by notice in writing to the Defaulting Party:

If the 2nd Amended Subscription Agreement is terminated pursuant to the above paragraph (c), each party's further rights and obligations cease immediately on termination save in respect of the Surviving Provisions and no party will have any claim against another for costs, damages, compensation or otherwise, save that termination does not affect a party's accrued rights and obligations at the date of termination.

On 24 September 2019, the Management Shareholders, the Management Shareholders Holdcos, the Company, the Investor, VBill (Cayman), WFOE, Chongqing JIM and VBill OPCO entered into an amendment and restatement agreement to amend and restate the Original Shareholders' Agreement. The Amended Shareholders' Agreement regulates and governs the rights and obligations of each VBill (Cayman) Shareholder in respect of the securities in VBill (Cayman) (including the grant of the Put Option), and the management and operation of VBill (Cayman) Group.

To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, save as the relationship between the parties disclosed in the paragraph headed "PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE 2ND AMENDED SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT - Relationship between the parties" above, all the parties to the Amended Shareholders' Agreement and their ultimate beneficial owners are Independent Third Parties. Principal terms of the Amended Shareholders' Agreement are summarised below.

Effective date

Other than the provisions relating to the effectiveness, termination, confidentiality, costs and taxes, notices, governing law and other miscellaneous provisions of the Amended Shareholders' Agreement, all other provisions of the Amended Shareholders' Agreement shall come into effect and become effective from the Completion Date and subject to Completion having taken place.

Rights of the Investor for a breach of non-compete undertakings

If:

  1. a Management Shareholder commits a breach of any of his/her undertakings not to engage in competing businesses as provided under the Amended Shareholders' Agreement that are capable of remedy and has caused material loss to the Investor as a result of such breach(es), and the defaulting Management Shareholder fails to remedy each such material breach within 20 Business Days of receiving the notice from the Investor to remedy such breach(es); or such breach(es) are not capable of remedy and has caused material loss to the Investor, and such breach is a wilful breach of the Amended Shareholders' Agreement ("Breach of Non-competeUndertakings Event"); and
  2. the Investor owns or controls any VBill Shares at the time a Breach of Non- compete Undertakings Event occurs,

then the Investor may serve a notice on the defaulting Management Shareholder (the "Transfer Notice") requiring him/her to either (a) sell, on the date specified by the Investor, all or some of the VBill Shares held by the Defaulting Management Shareholder to the Investor; or (b) buy, on the date specified by the Investor, all or some of the VBill Shares held by the Investor (in either case such VBill Shares are referred to as the "Transfer Shares").

16

The price for the Transfer Shares is the amount in cash (i) in the case of (a), equal to 80% of the fair market value of the Transfer Shares as at the date of the Transfer Notice (which is to be agreed between the defaulting Management Shareholder and the Investor, failing which it shall be determined by an independent expert) ("Fair Market Value"); or (ii) in the case of (b), equal to 120% of the Fair Market Value, or (iii) such other price agreed in writing between the defaulting Management Shareholder and the Investor.

Exit rights of the Investor

1. The parties to the Amended Shareholders' Agreement intend to explore in good faith:

  1. a Qualified IPO on or before the date falling 3 years after the Completion Date, save that if it is not possible or commercially feasible to implement a Qualified IPO due to, inter alia , national policies and/or laws and major changes to applicable law not arising from the Company's fault or gross negligence, the time limit for the consummation of such Qualified IPO shall be extended to the date falling 5 years after the Completion Date with the consent of the parties; or
  2. if an opportunity arises, a trade sale by the Investor of 100% of its VBill Shares to another person which is not an affiliate of the Investor,

and the completion of a Qualified IPO or completion of the trade sale by the Investor specified above shall each be referred to as an "Exit".

In the event of any Exit, the Amended Shareholders' Agreement may be either terminated or amended in order to comply with applicable laws in connection with such Exit.

A "Qualified IPO" shall mean the listing of 100% of the securities of VBill (Cayman) or any other VBill (Cayman) Group Company on the New York Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ Stock Exchange, the Stock Exchange, or such other internationally recognised stock exchange as agreed by the Investor in writing; and with an actual or expected post-money market capitalisation of VBill (Cayman) or such other VBill (Cayman) Group Company immediately after closing of its initial public offering of no less than the amount in US$ which (assuming the Investor will receive the full market value of its stake in the Company in cash on the date of closing of such initial public offering) will make up a return of 12% IRR on the Subscription Price, calculated from the Completion Date and converted from RMB into US$ using the Agreed Exchange Rate, or any other amount agreed by the Investor, the Company and VBill (Cayman) in writing.

17

  1. If VBill (Cayman) or any other VBill (Cayman) Group Company or any exit vehicle conducting a Qualified IPO involves the listing or quotation of any securities on a stock exchange or trading system in any jurisdiction where the listing of 100% of the securities is not a mandatory requirement for a Qualified IPO, the entity being listed shall procure that either (i) all securities held by the Investor in any member of the VBill (Cayman) Group or the entity being listed are included in the Qualified IPO and registered and/or listed for trading (as applicable) at the Qualified IPO, or (ii) the Investor has been provided with registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement in customary form entered into between VBill (Cayman), the Management Shareholders, Management Shareholders' Holdcos and the Investor before the Qualified IPO.
  2. If at any time and from time to time after the Completion Date, there is (i) any merger, consolidation or reorganisation of VBill (Cayman) with or into another corporation (other than a merger or consolidation in which VBill (Cayman) is the continuing corporation but including without limitation any reorganisation for the purposes of effecting a Qualified IPO in which the VBill Shares are exchanged for shares in another corporation); or (ii) any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of VBill (Cayman), then in each such case, as a part of such merger, consolidation, reorganisation or sale or transfer of assets, VBill (Cayman) shall ensure that the Investor shall be entitled to receive the same (or as equivalent as practicable) class and number of shares or other securities or property to which the Investor is entitled to receive immediately prior to the effective date of such event.

Put Option

The parties to the Amended Shareholders' Agreement agree that:

  1. if the Exit has not been implemented on or before the date falling 3 years after the Completion Date, at any time within the 2 year period after the date falling 3 years after the Completion Date; or
  2. (for as long as the Investor owns or controls any VBill Shares) at any time within the 5 year period after the Completion Date, if the Payment Business License or the ICP License held by VBill OPCO is being revoked, but excluding the following circumstance whereby revocation of the abovementioned license or permit was not resulting from one or more actual breach or violation of any applicable law by the VBill (Cayman) Group Company; or
  3. (for as long as the Investor owns or controls any VBill Shares) at any time within the 5 year period after the Completion Date after any VBill (Cayman) Shareholder other than the Investor commits a breach of any of its obligations under the Amended Shareholders' Agreement relating to:
    1. directors and corporate governance of VBill (Cayman) Group;
    2. VBill (Cayman) Group's business;
    3. information rights of the Investor;

18

  1. access rights of the Investor to premises and management of VBill (Cayman) Group;
  2. transfer of VBill Shares; or
  3. capital increase of VBill (Cayman),

and (i) if such material breach(es) are capable of remedy, and such defaulting VBill (Cayman) Shareholder fails to remedy each such material breach within 20 Business Days of receiving request for remedy by the Investor in writing; or (ii) if such breach(es) are not capable of remedy and has caused substantial loss to the Investor as a result of such breach(es), and such breach is a wilful breach of the Amended Shareholders' Agreement;

then Investor will have the right to exercise an option ("Put Option"), by delivering a notice in writing to VBill (Cayman) ("Put Notice"), to require VBill (Cayman), subject to applicable law, to repurchase, redeem and/or cancel all (but not some only) of the VBill Shares held by the Investor at that time (such VBill Shares being the "Relevant Investor's Shares") at an aggregate cash consideration in US$ determined by the following formulae ("Put Price"):

A x (B/C) - D,

where:

  1. = an amount in US$ which will make up an IRR (in US$ terms) of 8.0% on the US$ equivalent of the Subscription Price (calculated from the Completion Date and converted from RMB into US$ on the Agreed Exchange Rate as of such date), until the Put Option Completion Date (defined below);
  2. = the aggregate number of the Relevant Investor's Shares;
  3. = the aggregate number of VBill (Cayman) Shares issued to the Investor by VBill (Cayman) under the 2nd Amended Subscription Agreement, taking into account the effect of any share split, share consolidation, share dividend or analogous restructuring of the issued share capital of VBill (Cayman) from time to time; and
  4. = the aggregate amount actually paid by Management Shareholders, the Company, VBill (Cayman) and VBill OPCO to the Investor under a Warranty Claim or an Indemnity Claim and any cash dividends declared and paid by VBill (Cayman) and actually received by the Investor (less any taxes, costs and expenses incurred by the Investor in receipt of such dividends),

19

provided that under all circumstances, the Put Price shall not exceed the maximum amount ("Maximum Put Price Amount") calculated by the following formula:

A * B * C

where:

A is RMB588,000,000; B is the Agreed Exchange Rate; and C is 1.08^3.

If the Put Price amount is greater than the Maximum Put Price Amount, the Put Price amount shall be deemed to be equal to the Maximum Put Price Amount.

If the Investor has delivered a Put Notice to VBill (Cayman), completion of the repurchase, redemption and/or cancellation of all the Relevant Investor's Shares shall take place on a Business Day which falls within 60 Business Days after the date of the Put Notice, as elected by VBill (Cayman) ("Put Option Completion Date") and on the Put Option Completion Date:

  1. the Investor shall deliver to VBill (Cayman) the original share certificate representing the Relevant Investor's Shares; and
  2. VBill (Cayman) shall pay an amount in cash in US$ equal to the Put Price, by way of wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account nominated by the Investor.

Under the above formula, the maximum amount of Put Price payable by VBill (Cayman) under the Put Option is approximately RMB740.7 million.

It is expected that the Put Price will be funded by the internal resources of VBill (Cayman) Group.

Basis of determining the Put Price

The grant of the Put Option, the events that can trigger the exercise of the Put Option, and the Put Price (the IRR of 8%) were commercially negotiated and agreed by the parties after arm's length negotiations after considering a number of factors, which included: (i) the Investor's expected investment return rate; (ii) the reasons for and benefits of the Subscription disclosed under the section headed "REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DEEMED DISPOSAL AND THE GRANT OF THE PUT OPTION" below; (iii) the Put Option that is one of the principal conditions for the Investor to agreeing to the terms of the Subscription; and (iv) the Group's assessment of the probability that the Put Option will become exercisable by the Investor.

20

As detailed above, the Put Option can only be exercised under limited circumstances:

  1. the Investor is unable to benefit from an IRR of 12% on the Subscription Price from a Qualified IPO within 3 years, which could be extended to a maximum of 5 years by agreement, from the Completion Date, (ii) any important licenses held by VBill OPCO is revoked resulting from a breach or violation of applicable laws by the VBill (Cayman) Group, or (iii) any shareholder of VBill (Cayman) other than the Investor commits a breach of certain obligations under the Amended Shareholders' Agreement. The Board is of the view that since the Company is the controlling shareholder of the VBill (Cayman) Group, the Company is able to duly observe or procure the due observance of all covenants on its part and therefore the Board foresees a relatively low risk of occurrence of any trigger event caused by the Company. Therefore, the Directors are of the opinion that the Put Option including the basis of calculating the Put Price with an IRR of 8% is on normal commercial terms and is fair and reasonable.

Reasons for and benefits of grant of the Put Option

It is the intention of the shareholders of VBill (Cayman) to achieve a Qualified IPO within 3 years after the Completion Date. However, this remains a preliminary plan at present and no concrete proposal or timing in relation to a Qualified IPO has been concluded. The Directors are of the view that the introduction of the Investor as a strategic investor of VBill (Cayman) will be beneficial to the Group in terms of funding to VBill (Cayman) Group and future funding activities. Based on the Directors' view on the future prospects of VBill (Cayman), the Directors consider that in the event a Qualified IPO has not occurred as planned, the Put Option may also enable VBill (Cayman) to repurchase the Investor's VBill Shares at a reasonable cost.

Security provided in favour of the Investor relating to the Put Option

  1. If VBill (Cayman)'s payment obligations has been triggered under the Put Option provisions, VBill OPCO will indemnify (and keep indemnified) the Investor on demand against any loss, liability or cost incurred by the Investor as a result of failure by VBill (Cayman) to perform any of its payment obligations.
  2. To further ensure the payment of the Put Price and related obligations of VBill (Cayman) under the Amended Shareholders' Agreement, VBill (Cayman), the WFOE and the Investor have entered into the Agreement of Pledge and will enter into the Amendment to Agreement of Pledge, pursuant to which (among other things):
    1. the WFOE has agreed to pledge, by way of a first priority pledge, to the Investor the assets of the WFOE, which comprise all of the WFOE's rights and interest, present and future, actual or contingent, in connection with the exclusive option agreement and the master exclusive service agreement under the New JIM Control Documents and the New JIM Control Documents (Pre-Swap) within the period from the Completion Date until all of the Secured Obligations have been discharged under the Amended Shareholders' Agreement, including the WFOE's right to receive all proceeds in respect of the above and all cash, receivables, commissions, revenues and other property at any time howsoever receivable or distributable in respect of the above; and

21

  1. the WFOE has agreed to provide a joint and several guarantee in favour of the Investor in order to secure the performance of all present and future moneys owed by, obligations and liabilities of VBill (Cayman) under or in respect of the Put Option, including but not limited to the payment of the Put Price by VBill (Cayman) ("Secured Obligations").

Restrictions on transfer of VBill Shares

  1. In the event that the Management Shareholder Holdcos have become VBill (Cayman) Shareholders before the Completion Date, for a period of one year after the Completion Date, or in the event that the Management Shareholder Holdcos have not become VBill (Cayman) Shareholders before the Completion Date, for a period of one year after the Post-completion Allotment Date (the "Lock-UpPeriod" as regards the Management Shareholder Holdcos), none of the Management Shareholder Holdcos may transfer any of its interest in the VBill Shares without the consent of the Investor and the Company; for a period of one year after the Completion Date (the "Lock-UpPeriod" as regards the Investor), the Investor may not transfer any of its interest in the VBill Shares without the consent of the Management Shareholder Holdcos.
  2. None of VBill (Cayman) Shareholders shall, without the prior written consent of VBill (Cayman), directly or indirectly, transfer any equity securities of VBill (Cayman) to any competitor (as defined under the Amended Shareholders' Agreement) of VBill (Cayman) Group.
  3. The Investor shall not require the consent of any of the other VBill (Cayman) Shareholders or VBill (Cayman) to transfer any of its interest in the VBill Shares to a financial investor holding not more than 5% shareholding interest in a company whose main business line is payment processing in the PRC.
  4. Notwithstanding the restrictions set out in paragraphs (1) to (2) above, the Company, each Management Shareholder Holdco or the Investor may at any time from the Completion Date freely transfer all or some of its interest in the VBill Shares:
    1. (in the case of the Investor) to one or more of its affiliates;
    2. (in the case of the Company or a Management Shareholder Holdco) to a person that is 100% owned or controlled by it, a person that owns or controls 100% of it, or a person that is under 100% common ownership or control with it; and
    3. pursuant to any equity restructuring or establishment of offshore structure that is approved by the Company and the Investor in writing.

(each a "Permitted Transfer").

22

Right of First Refusal

Following the expiry of the Lock-Up Period, where a VBill (Cayman) Shareholder (the "ROFR Trigger Shareholder") intends to transfer of all or some of its VBill Shares (the "ROFR Shares") to a third party purchaser other than a Permitted Transfer it shall provide a notice (the "ROFR Trigger Notice") to the other VBill (Cayman) Shareholders (the "ROFR Recipient Shareholder") of such intent to transfer the ROFR Shares (the "Disposal of VBill Shares"). A ROFR Trigger Notice is, once given, irrevocable and shall set out, among other things, the sale price ("ROFR Offer Price") per VBill Share (the "ROFR Offer"):

Each ROFR Recipient Shareholder shall have the right, exercisable upon a notice (the "ROFR Acceptance Notice") at any time within 30 Business Days from the date of the ROFR Trigger Notice (the "ROFR Acceptance Period"), to accept the ROFR Offer and purchase such percentage of the ROFR Shares in proportion to its shareholding in VBill (Cayman) on a fully diluted basis as of the date of the ROFR Acceptance Notice, based on the terms and conditions set out in ROFR Trigger Notice. A ROFR Acceptance Notice, once given, will be irrevocable.

If one or more ROFR Recipient Shareholders accept the ROFR Offer within the ROFR Acceptance Period, the ROFR Trigger Shareholder and the ROFR Recipient Shareholders which accept the ROFR Offer shall be bound to purchase the ROFR Shares within 30 Business Days after the end of the ROFR Acceptance Period.

A definitive sale and purchase agreement will be entered into with a third party purchaser on the condition that the Disposal of VBill Shares is at a price that is equal to or greater than the ROFR Offer Price, and on payment terms not more favourable than those set out in the ROFR Trigger Notice.

Tag-Along Right of the Investor

At any time prior to the expiration of the ROFR Acceptance Period, where the Company or a Management Shareholder Holdco is the ROFR Trigger Shareholder, and the Investor has not exercised and will not exercise its right of first refusal with respect to any or all of the ROFR Shares set out under the above section headed "Right of First Refusal", the Investor (the "Tag Trigger Shareholder") shall have the right to serve on the ROFR Trigger Shareholder a notice (the "Tag Notice") to request the ROFR Trigger Shareholder to procure that the third party purchaser buys such number of VBill Shares (the "Tagged Shares") held by the Tag Trigger Shareholder to be determined by the following formula:

A x B/C,

where:

  1. = the aggregate number of VBill Shares held by the Tag Trigger Shareholder as of the date of the Tag Notice;
  2. = the aggregate number of ROFR Shares; and
  3. = the total number of VBill Shares held by the ROFR Trigger Shareholder as of the date of the Tag Notice.

23

The consideration for each Tagged Share shall be in cash and no less favourable than that which is being paid for the VBill Shares of the ROFR Trigger Shareholder, and also on the same terms as the proposed Disposal of VBill Shares by the ROFR Trigger Shareholder to the third party purchaser.

Capital Increase

If VBill (Cayman) proposes to issue any New Securities, all VBill (Cayman) Shareholders may, by serving a notice in writing to VBill (Cayman), exercise its right to subscribe for such number New Securities proposed to be issued by VBill (Cayman) on a pro rata basis based on its shareholding in VBill (Cayman) on a fully diluted basis as at the date of the notice given by VBill (Cayman) to each VBill (Cayman) Shareholder (which specifies the terms of the proposed issue of New Securities), and on the same terms and conditions as set out in the said notice.

"New Securities" means any shares of capital stock or voting securities of VBill (Cayman), any other securities of VBill (Cayman) convertible into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock or voting securities of VBill (Cayman), any other equity or equity-linked securities issued by VBill (Cayman) or options, warrants or other rights to acquire from VBill (Cayman), or other obligation of VBill (Cayman) to issue the foregoing, excluding:

  1. any VBill Shares and other securities issued or issuable pursuant to any existing share option (including Existing ESOP) which has already been issued as of the Completion Date but has not vested or been exercised;
  2. any VBill Shares and any other securities issued or issuable pursuant to VBill (Cayman)'s employee stock option or similar plan to be adopted by the board of directors of VBill (Cayman) with the prior written consent of the Investor;

  4. any VBill Shares issued in connection with or pursuant to a Qualified IPO.

24

Anti-Dilution

In the event that within one year after the Completion Date, VBill (Cayman) proposes to issue any New Securities for a consideration or deemed consideration per VBill Share (the "Down Round Consideration Per Share") less than the then effective Investor Issuance Price (the "Additional Issuance"), then VBill (Cayman) shall, simultaneous with and on the same date as the date of closing of the Additional Issuance, issue such additional number of new VBill Shares (together, the "Additional Issuance Shares") to the Investor at nil or nominal consideration as determined by the following formula:

(A/B) - C

where:

  1. = an amount equal to the Subscription Price;
  2. = the Down Round Consideration Per Share; and
  3. = the number of VBill Shares owned by the Investor by VBill (Cayman) under the 2nd Amended Subscription Agreement (taking into account the effect of any share split, share consolidation, share dividend or analogous restructuring of the issued share capital of VBill (Cayman) from time to time, up to and including the date of closing of the Additional Issuance),

provided that immediately after closing of the anti-dilution adjustment pursuant to above, the aggregate number of VBill Shares owned or controlled by the Investor (including the Additional Issuance Shares) shall not exceed 15% of all the issued VBill Shares on a fully diluted basis at that time (taking into account the effect of any share split, share consolidation, share dividend or analogous restructuring of the issued share capital of VBill (Cayman) from time to time).

For the purpose of this "Anti-Dilution" section:

"Investor Issuance Price" means A/B,

where:

  1. = the Subscription Price; and
  2. = the aggregate number of VBill Shares issued to the Investor by VBill (Cayman) under the 2nd Amended Subscription Agreement, and shall be adjusted for share dividends, share splits, share consolidations, recapitalisations or analogous restructuring of the issued share capital of VBill (Cayman) from time to time.

Transfer of VBill OPCO

Without the prior written consent of the Company and the Investor, the Management Shareholders and any of the VBill (Cayman) Group Companies shall not transfer any of the equity interest in VBill OPCO or do or procure to be done anything with the intention of transferring the equity interest in VBill OPCO, except solely for the consummation of the share swap pursuant to the Share Swap Agreement and the 2nd Amended Subscription Agreement.

25

  1. REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DEEMED DISPOSAL AND THE GRANT OF THE PUT OPTION

As disclosed in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2018, the payment processing solutions business segment of the Group (i.e. the business segment that will be carried out by VBill (Cayman) Group) has continued to grow steadily with the accumulated number of active domestic merchants reaching

4.2 million and the annual transaction volume exceeding RMB1,630 billion. Driven by the convenience and accessibility of mobile QR code payment, payment processing solutions segment maintained its strong momentum throughout the year. The transaction size increased by more than 40% compared with last year while the merchants base grew by over 60%. Together with the advancement of product features and wider adoption of innovative channel, total segmental revenue has grown by 65%, while income from non-payment processing segment has also increased steadily. Through the innovative Xinlianmeng channel, a large number of sales personnels were recruited in China to provide strong driving forces for the expansion of the micro merchants market in second and third-tier cities. Meanwhile, risk prevention capability have been enhanced through a systematic approach and the amount of loans granted have accumulated to over RMB930 million by the end of 2018. During 2018, supply chain financial asset management platform has utilized blockchain technology to complete the deployment of SAAS structure and introduced smart contract, attracting core enterprises, financial institutions and operating enterprises. As disclosed in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2018, consolidated revenue of the Company amounted to HK$4,662.0 million, as compared to HK$2,910.0 million in year 2017, and such increase was mainly contributed by the continued strong growth of the payment processing solutions segment during the year. During 2018, the Group's payment processing solutions segment maintained its growth momentum, leading to segmental turnover of HK$3,744.9 million, a 89% up as compared to last year, while segmental operating profit amounted to HK$397.0 million, as compared to HK$260.7 million in year 2017.

The Directors are of the view that the proposed issue of the Subscription Shares by VBill (Cayman) to the Investor offers a good opportunity to VBill (Cayman) Group as it will provide funding for further expansion of VBill (Cayman) Group's business, thereby reinforcing VBill (Cayman) Group's comprehensive strength and growth potential. Besides, the introduction of the Investor is expected to bring strategic benefit to VBill (Cayman) Group. Through establishing and enhancing the cooperative relationship between the Company and the Investor, whose ultimate beneficial owner is a reputable private fund, such relationship is expected to benefit the VBill (Cayman) Group as it would allow the VBill (Cayman) Group to leverage on the experience and reputation of such reputable private fund to further develop its business network and to create future funding opportunity.

32

(7) APPROVAL OF THE BOARD

Based on the above, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the terms of the 2nd Amended Subscription Agreement and the Amended Shareholders' Agreement (including the ancillary agreements) are fair and reasonable and are on normal commercial terms or better, and the entering into of the 2nd Amended Subscription Agreement and the Amended Shareholders' Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. None of the Directors has a material interest in the transactions contemplated under the 2nd Amended Subscription Agreement and the Amended Shareholders' Agreement and none of the Directors has abstained from voting on the board resolutions.

(8) SIDE LETTER

On 12 February 2019, the Investor, the Management Shareholders and the Management Shareholders Holdcos also entered into the Side Letter to agree on the key terms in relation to the Investor's earn-out and the exit bonus of the Management Shareholders under certain circumstances. The Side Letter was amended and restated on 21 May 2019 and further amended and restated on 24 September 2019 to align with changes made on the 2nd Amended Subscription Agreement and the Amended Shareholders' Agreement dated 21 May 2019. Under the Side Letter, if the actual pre-money valuation of VBill (Cayman) Group in the Qualified IPO is less than VBill (Cayman) pre-money valuation (which is calculated based on an expected IRR of 25% to the Investor up to 4.5 years after the Completion Date), the Management Shareholders shall in aggregate transfer a maximum of up to 3% of interest in VBill (Cayman) held by them (the "Adjustment Shares") in VBill (Cayman) to the Investor (such event is referred to as the "Investor's Earn-Out"). On the other hand, in case there occurs a Qualified IPO and the Investor ceases to hold any VBill Shares within 5 years after the Completion Date, the Investor shall pay to each Management Shareholder a bonus amount if the actual investment return in VBill (Cayman) of the Investor is greater than 25% (but capped at 35%) (such event is referred to as the "Exit Bonus of Management Shareholders"). The Exit Bonus of Management Shareholders will be equal to 20-30% of the Investor's actual investment return (capped at an IRR of 35%) in excess of the amount achieving an IRR of 25%. The Investor has to pay the entire Exit Bonus of Management Shareholders if the Investor ceases to hold any VBill Shares within 5 years after the date of closing of the Qualified IPO. The Investor has to pay the corresponding Exit Bonus of Management Shareholders if the Investor completes the sale of at least 80% of the VBill Shares within 5 years after the date of closing of the Qualified IPO, subject to adjustments upon the 100% sales of the VBill Shares. If the Investor transfers any of its VBill Shares pursuant to the Amended Shareholders' Agreement to a third party purchaser (other than a Permitted Transfer) prior to the date of closing of the Qualified IPO, then the number of Adjustment Shares shall be further adjusted.

None of the members of VBill (Cayman) Group nor the Group is a party to the Side Letter.

33

  1. FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE DEEMED DISPOSAL AND USE OF PROCEEDS

As at the date of the 2nd Amended Subscription Agreement, the Group is indirectly interested in 80.04% of VBill Group. Immediately upon Completion (assuming step 8(ii) of the Restructuring has not completed, i.e. 80.04% of VBill Group is held by Chongqing JIM), the Group's indirect interest in VBill Group will be diluted to approximately 68.83%. Immediately after Post-completion Allotment (i.e. step 8(ii) of the Restructuring has completed, i.e. 100% of VBill Group is held by Chongqing JIM), the Group's indirect interest in VBill Group will become approximately 71.07%. VBill Group will continue to be a subsidiary of the Group.

The gross proceeds from the Deemed Disposal will be RMB588,000,000, which is intended to be applied as general working capital of VBill (Cayman) Group for overseas business expansion and additional resources on risk control technology input. In addition, the initial grant of the Put Option and the Deemed Disposal will be accounted for as equity transactions and is not expected to lead to any material gain or loss to the consolidated income statement of the Group.

The expenses of the Group may also increase as a result of the Investor's Earn-Out and the Exit Bonus of the Management Shareholders, with a corresponding increase in total equity of the Group. Nevertheless, Shareholders should note that the exact financial effect of the Deemed Disposal, the grant of the Put Option, the Investor's Earn-Out and the Exit Bonus of Management Shareholders to the Group is subject to the review and approval of the auditors of the Company.

(10) THE CONTRACTUAL ARRANGEMENTS

As disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 21 May 2019, the Group implemented certain VIE restructuring concerning Chongqing JIM, the VBill Group and VBill (Cayman), pursuant to which:

  1. Chongqing JIM, VBill OPCO, Zhou, Na and each of the Management Shareholders entered into the Share Swap Agreement;
  2. WFOE, Chongqing JIM, Zhou, Na and each of the Management Shareholders entered into the New JIM Control Documents which will take effect from the date of the completion of the Share Swap Agreement;

  4. the Company acquired 80.04% of VBill (Cayman) from the Management Shareholders Holdcos at nominal consideration and as a result, VBill (Cayman) is owned as to 80.04% by the Company and 19.96% by the Management Shareholders.

34

For the reasons stated in the section headed "(1) BACKGROUND AND RESTATEMENT OF THE PREVIOUS TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS" above, as part of the Restructuring and before Completion, the Group shall implement further VIE restructuring concerning Chongqing JIM, the VBill Group and VBill (Cayman) where, among other matters, WFOE, Chongqing JIM, Zhou, Na and each of the Management Shareholders will entered into the New JIM Control Documents (Pre-Swap).The Company will submit an application for waiver from strict compliance with Rules 14A.52 and 14A.53 of the Listing Rules in respect of the New JIM Control Documents (Pre-Swap).

(11) IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES

The 2nd Amended Subscription Agreement and the Deemed Disposal

As certain applicable percentage ratios (as defined under the Listing Rules) under the Listing Rules in respect of the Deemed Disposal exceed 5% but all applicable percentage ratios are less than 25%, the Deemed Disposal constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company and is therefore subject to the notification and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

Due to the relationship between the parties, each of Shen, Li, Xue and Ge (i.e. the Management Shareholders, together with Shen Holdco, Li Holdco, Xue Holdco and Ge Holdco which is respectively an associate of Shen, Li, Xue and Ge) is a connected person of the Company at subsidiary level. The 2nd Amended Subscription Agreement between the Company and the Management Shareholders, and the transactions contemplated thereunder (including the Amended Shareholders' Agreement) constitute connected transactions of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules and are subject to the reporting and announcement requirements but are exempt from the circular, independent financial advice and shareholders' approval requirements pursuant to Rule 14A.101 of the Listing Rules.

The Put Option

As certain applicable percentage ratios (as defined under the Listing Rules) under the Listing Rules in respect of the grant and exercise of the Put Option (the exercise of which is not at the discretion of the Company) exceed 5% but all applicable percentage ratios are less than 25%, the grant and the exercise of the Put Option constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company and is therefore subject to the notification and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

(12) GENERAL

Completion of the 2nd Amended Subscription Agreement, the Deemed Disposal, the grant of Put Option and other transactions contemplated under the 2nd Amended Subscription Agreement and the ancillary agreements thereto may or may not proceed as they are subject to a number of conditions which may or may not be fulfilled. Shareholders and potential investors of the Company are therefore advised to exercise caution when dealing in the shares of the Company.
