Share Repurchase Program
As previously announced, on February 2, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the Company’s proposal to commence a share repurchase program of up to $250 million of its Class A Ordinary shares. Also, as previously announced, the Company engaged Credit Suisse as the broker for the share repurchase program. To date, the Company has repurchased 35,738,452 Class A shares at an aggregate purchase price of approximately USD 222 million.
As a result of the acquisition of Credit Suisse by UBS Group AG, Credit Suisse ceased all trading activities with effect from September 22, 2023. Consequently, the Company has engaged Mizuho Securities USA LLC as the new broker for share repurchase program. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of Class A Ordinary Shares and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
The form of the Share Repurchase Contract with Mizuho Securities USA LLC is attached hereto as exhibit 99.1.
