FURTHER UPDATES ON THE DISPOSAL AGREEMENT

As disclosed in the Announcement:

"The Company considers it desirable for Ruisheng Tianhe to pursue a separate listing of its shares on a PRC domestic stock exchange and that it is customary for founding shareholders of companies to be listed on domestic markets to have a higher equity interest than the current interests held by the founding shareholders of Ruisheng Tianhe. The Disposal will further align the interests of the Minority Shareholders with those of the Company and, in particular, enhance their incentives to work assiduously towards consummating a successful listing of Ruisheng Tianhe on a domestic PRC stock exchange ".

Further, as mentioned in the Announcement and the First Supplemental Announcement, the Minority Shareholders were founding shareholders of Ruisheng Tianhe who hold crucial managerial positions in Ruisheng Tianhe and were in charge of the day-to-day business operations of Ruisheng Tianhe. In other words, the performance of the Minority Shareholders is crucial to the future business and financial success of Ruisheng Tianhe, which is critical for the successful consummation of the Proposed PRC Listing.

As such, Meitu Networks and the Minority Shareholders have agreed in the Disposal Supplemental Agreements that except with the consent of Meitu Networks, each of the Minority Shareholders shall remain employed/engaged by Ruisheng Tianhe and/or its subsidiaries until the earlier of

  1. completion of the Proposed PRC Listing or (ii) completion of the Acquisition (each of these events, whichever occurs first, is known as the "Completion Date"), and for a period of 1 year after the Completion Date (the "Requirement of Continued Employment/Engagement"). If any of the Minority Shareholders fails to comply with the Requirement of Continued Employment/ Engagement, the relevant Minority Shareholder shall be required to sell back to Meitu Networks her portion of the relevant Disposal Equity Interest at the same consideration as the relevant Disposal Consideration applicable to her portion of the Disposal Equity Interest.

As Ms. Liu Renying ("Ms. Liu") has recently resigned from Ruisheng Tianhe, pursuant to the Disposal Supplemental Agreements, she shall be required to sell back to Meitu Networks her portion of the Disposal Equity Interest (namely, approximately 0.74% equity interest in Ruisheng Tianhe) at the same consideration as the relevant Disposal Consideration applicable to her portion of the Disposal Equity Interest (namely, RMB385,389.29). Completion of the repurchase is expected to occur on or before June 30, 2021. Upon completion of the repurchase, Meitu Networks' equity interests in Ruisheng Tianhe will be increased from approximately 65.33% to approximately 66.07%.

FURTHER UPDATES ON THE ACQUISITION AGREEMENT

Following Ms. Liu's resignation from Ruisheng Tianhe, Ms. Liu's roles and responsibilities in Ruisheng Tianhe (the details of such roles and responsibilities were previously disclosed in the First Supplemental Announcement) will be assumed by Mr. Che.
