Under the terms of the definitive agreements, the obligations of Wuhan Kingsoft Cloud and Xinghan Zhilian to pay their respective considerations and complete their transfers are separate. The closing of the Wuhan Kingsoft Cloud Equity Transfer Transaction is conditional upon the completion of the Xinghan Zhilian Equity Transfer Transaction.

Wuhan Kingsoft Cloud will pay the total consideration of RMB50M in a single installment on the closing date of the Wuhan Kingsoft Cloud Equity Transfer Transaction. Upon closing of the Transaction, all shareholder rights in Shenzhen Onething will be held by the shareholders according to their respective equity interest ratios, subject to the provisions of the shareholders agreement of Shenzhen Onething and other transaction documents concerning the Transaction.
