Ltd. (the “Registrant”), which are reserved for issuance under the Registrant’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”). These 549,757,633 additional Class A Ordinary Shares have been authorized under the 2021 Plan as amended and effective on November 11, 2021, pursuant to the 2021 Plan’s evergreen provisions. These 549,757,633 additional Class A Ordinary Shares are of the same class as other securities for which a registration statement on Form S-8 was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on July 7, 2021 (File No. 333-257735) (the “Existing S-8 Registration Statement”), but were not registered under the Existing S-8 Registration Statement. An aggregate of 466,685,092 Class A Ordinary Shares in the capital of the Registrant were previously registered for issuance under the 2021 Plan pursuant to the Existing S-8 Registration Statement. Pursuant to the General Instruction E to Form S-8, the contents of the Existing S-8 Registration Statement are incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement, except as otherwise set forth herein.

In accordance with the terms of the 2021 Plan, as amended, the total number of ordinary shares which may be issuable pursuant to awards under the 2021 Plan initially totaled 466,685,092 ordinary shares, provided, however, that if the aggregate number of the ordinary shares reserved and available for future grants of awards under the 2021 Plan falls below 3.0% of the total ordinary shares of the Registrant outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding calendar year (the “Limit”), the maximum aggregate number of the Registrant’s ordinary shares which may be issuable under the 2021 Plan shall automatically be increased so that the aggregate number of the Registrant’s ordinary shares reserved and available for future grants of awards under the 2021 Plan shall be equal to the Limit on January 1 thereafter.
