We may redeem for cash all or any part of the notes (subject to the partial redemption limitation described below), at our option, on or after August 20, 2027 and prior to the 41st scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, if the last reported sale price of our Class A ordinary shares has been at least 150% of the conversion price for the notes then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which we provide notice of optional redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

See "Description of the Notes-Cleanup Redemption" in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement.
|
Tax Redemption:
|
If we have, or on the next interest payment date would, become obligated to pay any additional amounts as a result of (i) any change or amendment on or after the date of the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement in the laws or any rules or regulations of a relevant taxing jurisdiction, or (ii) any change on or after the date of the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement in an interpretation, administration or application of such laws, rules or regulations, as further described under "Description of the Notes-Tax Redemption" in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, we may, at our option, redeem all but not part of the notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date and any additional amounts with respect to such redemption price.
Upon our giving a notice of tax redemption, a holder may elect not to have its notes redeemed, in which case such holder would not be entitled to receive the additional amounts referred to in "Description of the Notes-Additional Amounts" in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement after the redemption date with respect to the applicable change in tax law.
See "Description of the Notes-Tax Redemption" in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement.
|
Repurchase upon Fundamental Change:
|
If we undergo a "fundamental change" (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement under "Description of the Notes-Repurchase upon Fundamental Change"), subject to certain conditions and a limited exception described in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, holders may require us to repurchase for cash all or part of their notes in principal amounts of US$1,000 or an integral multiple thereof. The fundamental change repurchase price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.

Additional Amounts:

All payments and deliveries made by, or on behalf of, us or any successor to us under or with respect to the notes, including, but not limited to, payments of principal (including, if applicable, the redemption price and the fundamental change repurchase price), payments of interest and payments of cash and/or deliveries of Class A ordinary shares (together with payments of cash for any fractional Class A ordinary shares, if applicable) upon conversion, will be made without withholding or deduction, unless such withholding or deduction is required by law or by regulation or governmental policy having the force of law. In the event that any such withholding or deduction is so required by certain jurisdictions, we will pay such additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount received by the holders of the notes after such withholding or deduction (and after deducting any taxes on the additional amounts) will equal the amounts that would have been received by such holders had no such withholding or deduction been required, subject to certain exceptions.
See "Description of the Notes-Additional Amounts" in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement.

Interest Make-Whole Conversion Rate Adjustment upon Certain Conversions:
|
If you surrender your notes for conversion at any time during the period from, and including, the date that is six months after the last date of original issuance of the notes until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding August 1, 2027 (other than a conversion in connection with a make-whole fundamental change or a cleanup redemption or a tax redemption), we will increase the conversion rate per $1,000 principal amount of notes to be converted by a number of additional Class A ordinary shares (such increase, an "interest make-whole conversion rate adjustment") equal to (i) the sum of the remaining scheduled payments of interest that would have been made on $1,000 principal amount of the notes to be converted had such notes remained outstanding from the conversion date through August 15, 2027, divided by (ii) the greater of (x) the conversion price as of the applicable conversion date and (y) the simple average of the daily VWAP (as defined under "Description of Notes-Settlement upon Conversion" in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement) of the Class A ordinary shares for the ten consecutive trading days ending on and including the trading day immediately preceding such conversion date.

Adjustment to Class A Ordinary Shares Delivered upon Conversion upon a Make-Whole Fundamental Change or our Election to
Redeem the Notes:

Holders who convert their notes in connection with a "make-whole fundamental change" (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement) occurring prior to the maturity date or convert their notes called for redemption (or deemed called for redemption) during the related "redemption period" (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement) may be entitled to an increase in the conversion rate for the notes so surrendered for conversion as set forth in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement under the captions "Description of Notes-Conversion Rights-Adjustment to Class A Ordinary Shares Delivered upon Conversion upon a Make-Whole Fundamental Change" and "Description of Notes-Conversion Rights-Adjustment to Conversion Rate upon Conversion in Connection with an Optional Redemption, a Cleanup Redemption or a Tax Redemption."

If the Class A ordinary share price is between two Class A ordinary share prices in the table or the effective date is between two effective dates in the table, the number of additional Class A ordinary shares by which the conversion rate will be increased will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of additional Class A ordinary shares set forth for the higher and lower Class A ordinary share prices and the earlier and later effective dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year.
|
|
• |
If the Class A ordinary share price is greater than US$40.00 per Class A ordinary share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Class A ordinary share prices set forth in the column headings of the table above as set forth in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement), no additional Class A ordinary shares will be added to the conversion rate.
|
|
• |
If the Class A ordinary share price is less than US$6.33 per Class A ordinary shares (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Class A ordinary share prices set forth in the column headings of the table above as set forth in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement), no additional Class A ordinary shares will be added to the conversion rate.
