MOGU Inc. Announces Plan to Implement ADS Ratio Change

HANGZHOU, China, March 18, 2022 - MOGU Inc. ("MOGU" or the "Company") (NYSE: MOGU), a leading KOL-driven online fashion and lifestyle destination in China, today announced that it plans to change the ratio of its American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") to its Class A ordinary shares (the "ADS Ratio"), par value US$0.00001 per share, from the current ADS Ratio of one (1) ADS to twenty-five (25) Class A ordinary share to a new ADS Ratio of one (1) ADS to three hundred (300) Class A ordinary shares. The Company anticipates that the change in the ADS Ratio will be effective on or about March 28, 2022.

For MOGU's ADS holders, the change in the ADS Ratio will have the same effect as a one-for-twelve reverse ADS split. Each ADS holder of record at the close of business on the date when the change in ADS Ratio is effective will be required to surrender and exchange every twelve (12) existing ADSs then held for one (1) new ADS. The Bank of New York Mellon, as the depositary bank for MOGU's ADS program, will arrange for the exchange of the current ADSs for the new ones. MOGU's ADSs will continue to be traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "MOGU".

No fractional new ADSs will be issued in connection with the change in the ADS Ratio. Instead, fractional entitlements to new ADSs will be aggregated and sold by the depositary bank and the net cash proceeds from the sale of the fractional ADS entitlements (after deduction of fees, taxes and expenses) will be distributed to the applicable ADS holders by the depositary bank. The change in the ADS Ratio will have no impact on MOGU's underlying Class A ordinary shares, and no Class A ordinary shares will be issued or cancelled in connection with the change in the ADS Ratio.

As a result of the change in the ADS Ratio, the ADS trading price is expected to increase proportionally, although the Company can give no assurance that the ADS trading price after the change in the ADS Ratio will be equal to or greater than twelve times the ADS trading price before the change.
