INTEREST IN THE TARGET

PROPOSED DISPOSAL AND PROPOSED INVESTMENT

The Board is pleased to announce that on March 25, 2021 (after trading hours), Shenzhen iDreamsky has entered into the Investment Agreement with the Investor, pursuant to which Shenzhen iDreamsky agreed to sell and the Investor has conditionally agreed to acquire approximately 4.99% of the equity interest of the Target at the consideration of RMB6.75 million in cash.

As at the date of this announcement and immediately before the Completion, the Target is held by Shenzhen iDreamsky as to approximately 7.48%. Upon the Completion, the Target will be held by Shenzhen iDreamsky as to approximately 2.24%.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As at the date of this announcement, Tencent is a substantial shareholder holding through its wholly-owned subsidiaries approximately 18.59% of the total issued shares of the Company. The Investor is a wholly owned subsidiary of Shenzhen Tencent Industry Fund (a subsidiary of Tencent), and is therefore a connected person of the Company. Accordingly, the Proposed Disposal is the connected transaction of the Company.

As the highest applicable percentage ratio in respect of the Proposed Disposal is more than 0.1% but all the percentage ratios are below 5%, the Proposed Disposal is therefore subject to reporting and announcement requirements but exempt from circular and independent shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE PROPOSED DISPOSAL

The Company considers Tencent as a leading provider of the Internet value added service in the PRC, and the Proposed Disposal to Tencent will enable Tencent and our Company to further cooperate on the investment in the Target. The Company expects that such cooperation with the Tencent Group will further strengthen and diversify its business profile.

The Company expects a gain from the Proposed Disposal to be approximately RMB6.08 million. The actual gain as a result of the Proposed Disposal to be recorded by the Company is subject to a final audit to be performed by the Company's auditors.

The proceeds from the Proposed Disposal will be used for the future development of the Group, including but not limited to strengthening the core content creation business, building the content ecosystem and maintaining the competitiveness of the Company through mergers and acquisitions activities.

OPINION FROM THE BOARD

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the terms of the Investment Agreement and the Proposed Disposal are conducted in the ordinary and usual business of the Company and are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Mr. Ma Xiaoyi, Mr. Yao Xiaoguang and Mr. Chen Yu, all being Directors, are employees of Tencent and have therefore abstained from voting on the relevant Board resolutions approving Investment Agreement and the Proposed Disposal.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As at the date of this announcement, Tencent is a substantial shareholder holding through its wholly-owned subsidiaries approximately 18.59% of the total issued shares of the Company. The Investor is a wholly owned subsidiary of Shenzhen Tencent Industry Fund (a subsidiary of Tencent), and is therefore a connected person of the Company. Accordingly, the Proposed Disposal is the connected transaction of the Company.

As the highest applicable percentage ratio in respect of the Proposed Disposal is more than 0.1% but all the percentage ratios are below 5%, the Proposed Disposal is therefore subject to reporting and announcement requirements but exempt from circular and independent shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.
