EXPLANATORY NOTE
Background
Fangdd Network Group Ltd.
is a Cayman Islands holding company with no material operations of its own. We conduct our operations in China primarily through our PRC
subsidiary Shenzhen Fangdd Information Technology Co., Ltd., or Shenzhen Fangdd or the WFOE, the VIE Shenzhen Fangdd Network Technology
Co., Ltd., or Fangdd Network or the VIE, and the VIE’s subsidiaries.
Neither we nor our subsidiaries
own any equity interest in the VIE. The equity interest of the VIE is legally held by individuals who act as nominee shareholders of the
VIE on behalf of the WFOE. A series of contractual arrangements were entered into between the WFOE, the VIE and the VIE’s shareholders,
which we refer to as the Fangdd Network VIE Agreements. The Fangdd Network VIE Agreements were originally entered into in March 2014
and subsequently amended to include registration of the equity interest pledge agreements with the relevant registration authority and
amended when three nominee shareholders transferred equity interests in Fangdd Network to other nominee shareholders in 2017. The Fangdd
Network VIE Agreements allow the WFOE to (i) direct the activities of the VIE and the VIE’s subsidiaries that most significantly
impact the economic performance of the VIE and the VIE’s subsidiaries; (ii) receive substantially all of the economic benefits
of the VIE and the VIE’s subsidiaries; and (iii) have an exclusive option to purchase all or part of the equity interests in
the VIE when and to the extent permitted by PRC law. As a result of the Fangdd Network VIE Agreements, we are the primary beneficiary
of the VIE for accounting purposes and treat it as a PRC consolidated entity under U.S. GAAP. We consolidate the financial results of
the VIE in our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
To simplify and optimize
the shareholding structure of the VIE, and after obtaining the approval of our board of directors and its audit committee, the WFOE has
directed Mr. Jiancheng Li, Ms. Jingjing Huang and Mr. Wentao Bai to transfer all the equity interests they held in the
VIE to Mr. Xi Zeng, our Chairman of Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer, for nominal consideration. Following such transfer,
shareholders of the VIE include Xi Zeng, Yi Duan, Wei Zhang, Li Zhou, Jiaorong Pan, and Ying Lu, holding 46.62%, 31.95%, 9.00%, 8.88%,
2.66%, and 0.90%, respectively, of the equity interest in the VIE.
Summary of Currently Effective Fangdd Network VIE Agreements
In relation to the transfers
of equity interests in the VIE, our board of directors and its audit committee have approved certain amendments to the Fangdd Network
VIE Agreements. The currently effective Fangdd Network VIE Agreements include business operation agreement, powers of attorney, equity
interest pledge agreements, operation maintenance service agreement and technology development, application service agreement and option
agreements. The following is a summary of the Fangdd Network VIE Agreements.
Agreements That Enable Us to Direct Activities of the VIE
Business
Operation Agreement. The WFOE, the VIE and the VIE’s shareholders have entered into a business operation
agreement, pursuant to which the VIE and its shareholders undertake that without the WFOE’s prior written consent, the VIE
shall not enter into any transactions that may have material effects on the VIE’s assets, obligations, rights or business
operations. Additionally, the VIE’s shareholders undertake that without the WFOE’s prior written consent, they shall not
(i) sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of any rights associated with their equity interests in the VIE,
(ii) approve any merger or acquisition of the VIE, (iii) take any actions that may have a material adverse effect on the
VIE’s assets, businesses and liabilities, or sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose or impose other encumbrances of any
assets, businesses or income of the VIE, (iv) request the VIE to declare dividend or make other distribution, (v) amend
the VIE’s articles of association, or (vi) increase, decrease or otherwise change the VIE’s registered capital. The
WFOE may request the VIE to transfer at any time all the intellectual property rights held by the VIE to the WFOE or any person
designated by the WFOE. The VIE and certain of its shareholders shall be jointly and severally responsible for the performance of
their obligations under this agreement. This agreement has an initial term of ten years, and the term has been extended by a
supplementary agreement dated November 20, 2023 to November 19, 2033. The term may be further extended upon the WFOE’s unilateral written
confirmation prior to the expiry. The VIE has no right of transfer or right of early termination without WFOE’s written
confirmation while the WFOE may unilaterally transfer its rights and obligations under this agreement to third parties at any time
through written notification and may early terminate this agreement via a 30-day prior written notice.
Powers
of Attorney. Each shareholder of the VIE has issued a power of attorney, appointing Xi Zeng, the person designated by the
WFOE, as such shareholder’s attorney-in-fact to exercise all shareholder rights, including, but not limited to, the right to call
shareholders’ meeting, the right to vote on all matters of the VIE that require shareholder approval, and the right to dispose of
all or part of the shareholder’s equity interests in the VIE, on behalf of such shareholder. In the event that the WFOE requests
the shareholders to terminate the authorization, the power of attorney will terminate immediately and the shareholder shall then appoint
another person designated by the WFOE as his or her attorney-in-fact to exercise all shareholder rights. Other than the foregoing circumstances,
the power of attorney will remain in force until the termination of the business operation agreement and during its effective term, shall
not be amended.
Equity
Interest Pledge Agreements. Each shareholder of the VIE has entered into an equity interest pledge agreement with the WFOE
and the VIE, pursuant to which, the shareholder has pledged all of his or her equity interests in the VIE to the WFOE to guarantee the
performance by the VIE and its shareholders of their obligations under the master agreements, which include the technology development
and application service agreement, the operation and maintenance service agreement, the business operation agreement and the option agreements.
Each shareholder of the VIE agrees that, during the term of the equity interest pledge agreement, he or she will not transfer the pledged
equity interests or create or allow any encumbrance on the pledged equity interests without the prior written consent of the WFOE. The
equity interest pledge agreements remain effective until the VIE and its shareholders discharge all of their obligations under the master
agreements.
Agreements That Allow Us to Receive Economic Benefits from the
VIE
Technology
Development and Application Service Agreement. The WFOE and the VIE have entered into a technology development and application
service agreement, pursuant to which, the WFOE has the exclusive right to provide the VIE with technology development and application
services. Without the WFOE’s written consent, the VIE shall not accept any technology development and application services covered
by this agreement from any third party. The VIE agrees to pay service fees on an annual basis and at an amount determined by the WFOE
after taking into account multiple factors, such as the labor and time consumed for provision of the service, the type and complexity
of the services provided, the difficulties in providing the service, the commercial value of services provided and the market price of
comparable services. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, this agreement will remain effective until the WFOE ceases business operations.
Operation
Maintenance Service Agreement. The WFOE and the VIE have entered into an operation maintenance service agreement, pursuant
to which the WFOE has the exclusive right to provide the VIE with operation maintenance services and marketing services. Without the WFOE’s
written consent, the VIE shall not engage any third party to provide the services covered by this agreement. The VIE agrees to pay service
fees on an annual basis and at an amount determined by the WFOE after taking into account factors such as the labor cost, facility cost
and marketing expenses incurred by the WFOE in providing the services. Unless otherwise agreed by both parties, this agreement will remain
effective until the WFOE ceases business operations.
Agreements That Provide Us with the Option to Purchase the Equity
Interest in the VIE
Option
Agreements. The WFOE, the VIE and each of the VIE’s shareholders have entered into an option agreement, pursuant
to which the VIE’s shareholder has irrevocably granted the WFOE an exclusive option, to the extent permitted by PRC law, to purchase,
or have its designated person or persons to purchase, at its discretion all or part of the shareholder’s equity interests in the
VIE or all or part of the VIE’s assets. The purchase price shall be a nominal price unless where PRC laws and regulations require
valuation of the equity interests or the assets, or promulgate other restrictions on the purchase price, or otherwise prohibit purchasing
the equity interests or the assets at a nominal price. If the PRC laws and regulations prohibit purchasing the equity interests or the
assets at a nominal price, the purchase price shall be equal to the original investment of the equity interests made by such shareholders
or the book value of the assets. Where PRC laws and regulations require valuation of the equity interests or the assets or promulgates
other restrictions on the purchase price, the purchase price shall be the minimum price permitted under PRC laws and regulations. However,
if the minimum price permitted under PRC laws and regulations exceeds the original investment of the equity interests or the book value
of the assets, the shareholders of the VIE shall return the difference to the WFOE after deducting all taxes paid under PRC laws and regulations.
The shareholders of the VIE undertake, among other things, that without the WFOE’s prior written consent, they shall not take any
actions that may have material effects on the VIE’s assets, operations and liabilities, nor shall they appoint or replace any directors,
supervisors or other officers of the VIE. These agreements have an initial term of ten years, and the term has been extended by supplementary
agreements to November 19, 2033. The term may be extended upon the WFOE’s written confirmation prior to the expiry.

NOW,
THEREFORE, after friendly consultation, the Parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

in accordance with this Agreement as a guarantee for the Pledgor and Fangdd to perform all
their obligations under the Master Agreement. Fangdd agrees that the Pledgor shall pledge
the relevant equity interests to the Pledgee in accordance with this Agreement. The term

to make any form of recourse or claim against the Pledgee. |

The parties hereto are hereinafter individually
referred to as a “Party” or “Other Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”
Whereas:
| 1. | The Pledgee is a foreign-funded enterprise established in accordance with the laws of the PRC; |

its subsequent amendments, supplements and re-signing from time to time) (collectively, the “Purchase Option Agreement”).
According to the Purchase Option Agreement, the Pledgor shall, to the extent permitted by the laws of the PRC, transfer all or part of
its equity interests in Fangdd to the Pledgee and/or any other entities or individuals designated by the Pledgee at the Pledgee’s

| 7. | In order to guarantee that the Pledgor and Fangdd perform their obligations under the Master Agreement,

and the Pledgor is willing to accept such pledge. |
NOW,
THEREFORE, after friendly consultation, the Parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
| 1. | Pledge and Scope of Guarantee |
| 1.1 | The Pledgor agrees that it shall pledge 0.90% of the equity interests owned by it in Fangdd to the Pledgee
in accordance with this Agreement as a guarantee for the Pledgor and Fangdd to perform all their obligations under the Master Agreement.
Fangdd agrees that the Pledgor shall pledge the relevant equity interests to the Pledgee in accordance with this Agreement. The term “pledge”
refers to the Pledgee’s priority right to be repaid with the proceeds from the sale, auction or disposal of the equity interests
pledged by the Pledgor to the Pledgee. |
| 1.2 | The validity of the guarantee under this Agreement shall not be affected by any amendment or change of
the Master Agreement, and the guarantee under this Agreement shall remain in force in respect of any obligations of the Pledgor and Fangdd
under the amended Master Agreement. No invalidity, revocation or cancellation of the Master Agreement shall affect the validity of this
Agreement. If any Master Agreement becomes invalid or is revoked or canceled for any reason, the Pledgee shall have the right to immediately
realize its pledge in accordance with the provisions of Clause 11 hereof. |
| 2. | Pledged Equity Interests |
| 2.1 | The pledged equity interests under this Agreement shall be 0.90% of the equity interests held by the Pledgor
in Fangdd ( “Pledged Equity Interests”) and all interests relating to the Pledged Equity Interests. As of the effective date
of this Agreement, the details of the Pledged Equity Interests are as follows: |
Company name: Shenzhen Fangdd Network
Technology Co., Ltd.
Registered capital: RMB12,345,666
Pledged Equity Interests: 0.90% of
the equity interests of Fangdd
Corresponding amount of contribution:
RMB111,111
| 2.2 | Within the term of this Agreement, the Pledgee shall not be liable for any reduction in the value of the
Pledged Equity Interests unless due to the Pledgee’s willfulness or gross negligence that has a direct causal relationship with
the result, and the Pledgor shall have no right to make any form of recourse or claim against the Pledgee. |
| 2.3 | Subject to the provisions of Clause 2.2 hereof above, if there is any possibility of a significant reduction
in the value of the Pledged Equity Interests which is sufficient to endanger the rights of the Pledgee, the Pledgee may require at any
time the Pledgor to auction or dispose of the Pledged Equity Interests and agree with the Pledgor that the proceeds from the auction or
disposal thereof shall be used to pay off the secured debt in advance or be deposited with the notary public office in the place where
the Pledgee is located (any expenses incurred therefrom shall be borne by the Pledgee). |
| 2.4 | The Pledgee shall have the right to dispose of the Pledged Equity Interests in such manner as set out
in Clause 11 hereof when any event of default occurs on the part of Fangdd or the Pledgor. |
| 2.5 | With the prior consent of the Pledgee, the Pledgor may increase its capital contribution to Fangdd and
transfer or accept any equity interests of the Company. Any equity interests formed from the increase by the Pledgor of its capital contribution
to Fangdd shall also be the Pledged Equity Interests. |
| 2.6 | With the prior consent of the Pledgee, the Pledgor may receive dividends or dividends or bonuses in respect

referred to as a “Party” or “Other Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”
Whereas:

THEREFORE, after friendly consultation, the Parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
| 1. | Pledge and Scope of Guarantee |
| 1.1 | The Pledgor agrees that it shall pledge 8.88% of the equity interests owned by it in Fangdd to the Pledgee
in accordance with this Agreement as a guarantee for the Pledgor and Fangdd to perform all their obligations under the Master Agreement.
Fangdd agrees that the Pledgor shall pledge the relevant equity interests to the Pledgee in accordance with this Agreement. The term “pledge”
refers to the Pledgee’s priority right to be repaid with the proceeds from the sale, auction or disposal of the equity interests
pledged by the Pledgor to the Pledgee. |
| 1.2 | The validity of the guarantee under this Agreement shall not be affected by any amendment or change of
the Master Agreement, and the guarantee under this Agreement shall remain in force in respect of any obligations of the Pledgor and Fangdd
under the amended Master Agreement. No invalidity, revocation or cancellation of the Master Agreement shall affect the validity of this
Agreement. If any Master Agreement becomes invalid or is revoked or canceled for any reason, the Pledgee shall have the right to immediately
realize its pledge in accordance with the provisions of Clause 11 hereof. |
| 2. | Pledged Equity Interests |

the result, and the Pledgor shall have no right to make any form of recourse or claim against the Pledgee. |
| 2.3 | Subject to the provisions of Clause 2.2 hereof above, if there is any possibility of a significant reduction

time the Pledgor to auction or dispose of the Pledged Equity Interests and agree with the Pledgor that the proceeds from the auction or
disposal thereof shall be used to pay off the secured debt in advance or be deposited with the notary public office in the place where
the Pledgee is located (any expenses incurred therefrom shall be borne by the Pledgee). |

NOW,
THEREFORE, after friendly consultation, the Parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
| 1. | Pledge
and Scope of Guarantee |
| 1.1 | The
Pledgor agrees that it shall pledge 9.00% of the equity interests owned by it in Fangdd to
the Pledgee in accordance with this Agreement as a guarantee for the Pledgor and Fangdd to
perform all their obligations under the Master Agreement. Fangdd agrees that the Pledgor
shall pledge the relevant equity interests to the Pledgee in accordance with this Agreement.
The term “pledge” refers to the Pledgee’s priority right to be repaid with

to the Pledgee. |
| 1.2 | The
validity of the guarantee under this Agreement shall not be affected by any amendment or
change of the Master Agreement, and the guarantee under this Agreement shall remain in force

No invalidity, revocation or cancellation of the Master Agreement shall affect the validity
of this Agreement. If any Master Agreement becomes invalid or is revoked or canceled for

with the provisions of Clause 11 hereof. |

that has a direct causal relationship with the result, and the Pledgor shall have no right
to make any form of recourse or claim against the Pledgee. |
| 2.3 | Subject
to the provisions of Clause 2.2 hereof above, if there is any possibility of a significant

rights of the Pledgee, the Pledgee may require at any time the Pledgor to auction or dispose
of the Pledged Equity Interests and agree with the Pledgor that the proceeds from the auction
