Failure to submit your Claim Form by the date specified will subject your claim to rejection and may preclude you from being eligible to recover any money in connection with the Settlement.

Do not mail or deliver your Claim Form to the Court, the settling parties or their counsel. Submit your Claim Form only to the Claims Administrator at the address set forth below or online by clicking Next below and following all the instructions.

1. It is important that you completely read and understand the Notice of: (I) Pendency of Class Action, Certification of Settlement Class, and Proposed Settlement; (II) Settlement Fairness Hearing; and (III) Motion for an Award of Attorneys’ Fees and Reimbursement of Litigation Expenses (the “Notice”), including the Plan of Allocation of the Net Settlement Fund set forth in the Notice. The Notice describes the proposed Settlement, how Class Members are affected by the Settlement, and the manner in which the Net Settlement Fund will be distributed if the Settlement and Plan of Allocation are approved by the Court. The Notice also contains the definitions of many of the defined terms (which are indicated by initial capital letters) used in this Claim Form. By signing and submitting this Claim Form, you will be certifying that you have read and that you understand the Notice, including the terms of the releases described therein and provided for herein.
2. This Claim Form is directed to all persons and/or entities that purchased DiDi Global Inc. (“DiDi”) American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) during the period June 30, 2021, through July 21, 2021, inclusive (the “Class Period”). All persons and entities that are members of the Class are referred to as “Class Members.”
3. Excluded from the Class are (a) all present and former officers and directors of DiDi, all Defendants, all underwriters in the IPO, Softbank Group, Corp., Uber Technologies, Inc, Alibaba Group Holding Limited, Tencent Holdings Limited, Boyu Capital and at all relevant times; such excluded persons’ affiliates, subsidiaries, members of such excluded persons’ immediate families and their legal representatives, heirs, successors, or assigns and (b) any entity that any Defendant, or any excluded person under (a) controlled or has or had a majority ownership interest. Also excluded from the Class is any Person who timely and validly requests exclusion from the Class.
4. If you are not a Class Member, or if you, or someone acting on your behalf, previously submitted a request for exclusion in connection with the Notice and you do not opt back into the Class by June 16, 2026, you will be excluded from the Class. YOU MAY NOT, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, PARTICIPATE IN THE SETTLEMENT IF YOU ARE NOT A CLASS MEMBER. THUS, IF YOU ARE EXCLUDED FROM THE CLASS (AS SET FORTH IN PARAGRAPH 3 ABOVE), ANY CLAIM FORM THAT YOU SUBMIT, OR THAT MAY BE SUBMITTED ON YOUR BEHALF, WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. The Claims Administrator will review Claim Forms in accordance with Paragraph 26 of the Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement (“Stipulation”), which is available at www.DiDiSettlement.com/Important-Documents.
5. If you are a Class Member, you will be bound by the terms of any judgments or orders entered in the Action WHETHER OR NOT YOU SUBMIT A CLAIM FORM, unless you submit a request for exclusion from the Class. Thus, if you are a Class Member, the Judgment will release, and enjoin your filing or continued prosecution of, the Released Plaintiffs’ Claims against the Defendants’ Releasees, unless you exclude yourself from the Class.
6. You are eligible to participate in the distribution of the Net Settlement Fund only if you are a member of the Class and if you complete and return this form as specified below. If you fail to submit a timely, properly addressed, and completed Claim Form with the required documentation, your claim may be rejected and you may be precluded from receiving any distribution from the Net Settlement Fund.
7. Submission of this Claim Form does not guarantee that you will share in the proceeds of the Settlement. The distribution of the Net Settlement Fund will be governed by the Plan of Allocation set forth in the Notice, if it is approved by the Court, or by such other plan of allocation approved by the Court.
8. Use the Schedules of Transactions of this Claim Form to supply all required details of your transaction(s) (including free transfers/delivers) in/out and holdings of DiDi ADSs. On the Schedules of Transactions, please provide all of the requested information with respect to your holdings, purchases and sales of DiDi ADSs, whether such transactions resulted in a profit or a loss. Failure to report all transaction and holding information during the requested time periods may result in the rejection of your claim.
9. Please note: Only DiDi ADSs purchased during the Class Period (i.e., from June 30 2021, through July 21, 2021, inclusive) are eligible under the Settlement. However, under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 “90 day look-back period” (described in the Plan of Allocation set forth in the Notice), your sales of DiDi ADSs during the period from July 22, 2021, through and including October 20, 2021, will be used for purposes of calculating your Recognized Loss Amounts under the Plan of Allocation. Therefore, in order for the Claims Administrator to be able to calculate your claim, the requested purchase and sale information during the 90-day look-back period must also be provided.
10. You are required to submit genuine and sufficient documentation for all of your transactions and holdings of DiDi ADSs set forth in the Schedules of Transactions of this Claim Form. Documentation may consist of copies of brokerage confirmation slips or monthly brokerage account statements, or an authorized statement from your broker containing the transactional and holding information found in a broker confirmation slip or account statement. The Parties and the Claims Administrator do not independently have information about your investments in DiDi ADSs. IF SUCH DOCUMENTS ARE NOT IN YOUR POSSESSION, PLEASE OBTAIN COPIES OR EQUIVALENT CONTEMPORANEOUS DOCUMENTS FROM YOUR BROKER. FAILURE TO SUPPLY THIS DOCUMENTATION WILL RESULT IN THE REJECTION OF YOUR CLAIM. DO NOT SEND ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS. Please keep a copy of all documents that you send to the Claims Administrator.
11. Separate Claim Forms should be submitted for each separate legal entity (e.g., a claim from joint owners should not include separate transactions through an account that is in the name of just one of the joint owners, and an individual should not combine his or her IRA transactions with transactions made through an account in the individual’s name). Conversely, a single Claim Form should be submitted on behalf of one legal entity including all transactions made by that entity on one Claim Form, no matter how many separate accounts that entity has (e.g., a corporation with multiple brokerage accounts should include all transactions made in all accounts on one Claim Form).
12. All joint beneficial owners must sign this Claim Form. If you purchased DiDi ADSs during the Class Period and held them in your name, you are the beneficial owner as well as the record owner and you must sign this Claim Form to participate in the Settlement. If, however, you purchased DiDi ADSs during the Class Period and the securities were registered in the name of a third party, such as a nominee or brokerage firm, you are the beneficial owner of these securities, but the third party is the record owner. The beneficial owner, not the record owner, must sign this Claim Form.
13. Agents, executors, administrators, guardians, and trustees must complete and sign the Claim Form on behalf of persons represented by them, and they must:

    (a) expressly state the capacity in which they are acting;

    (b) identify the name, account number, Social Security Number (or taxpayer identification number), address and telephone number of the beneficial owner of (or other person or entity on whose behalf they are acting with respect to) the DiDi ADSs; and

    (c) furnish herewith evidence of their authority to bind to the Claim Form the person or entity on whose behalf they are acting. (Authority to complete and sign a Claim Form cannot be established by stockbrokers demonstrating only that they have discretionary authority to trade stock in another person’s accounts.)

14. By submitting a signed Claim Form, you will be swearing that you:

    (a) own(ed) the DiDi ADSs you have listed in the Claim Form; or

    (b) are expressly authorized to act on behalf of the owner thereof.

15. By submitting a signed Claim Form, you will be swearing to the truth of the statements contained therein and the genuineness of the documents attached thereto, subject to penalties of perjury under the laws of the United States of America. The making of false statements, or the submission of forged or fraudulent documentation, will result in the rejection of your claim and may subject you to civil liability and/or criminal prosecution.
16. If the Court approves the Settlement, payments to eligible Authorized Claimants pursuant to the Plan of Allocation (or such other plan of allocation as the Court approves) will be made after the completion of all claims processing. This could take substantial time. Please be patient.
17. If any claimant whose Submitted Claim has been rejected in whole or in part desires to contest such rejection, the claimant must, within twenty (20) calendar days after the date of mailing or emailing of the Claims Administrator’s rejection notice, serve upon the Claims Administrator a notice and statement of reasons indicating the claimant’s grounds for contesting the rejection along with any supporting documentation, and requesting a review thereof by the Court.
18. PLEASE NOTE: As set forth in the Plan of Allocation, each Authorized Claimant shall receive his, her or its pro rata share of the Net Settlement Fund. If the prorated payment to any Authorized Claimant, however, calculates to less than $10.00, it will not be included in the calculation and no distribution will be made to that Authorized Claimant.
19. If you have questions concerning the Claim Form, or need additional copies of the Claim Form or the Notice, you may contact the Claims Administrator, In re DiDi Global Inc. Securities Litigation, c/o Strategic Claims Services, P.O. Box 230, 600 N.

20. NOTICE REGARDING INSTITUTIONAL FILERS: Representatives with authority to file on behalf of (a) accounts of multiple Class Members and/or (b) institutional accounts with large numbers of transactions (“Representative Filers”) must submit information regarding their transactions in an electronic spreadsheet format. If you are a Representative Filer, you must contact the Claims Administrator at efile@strategicclaims.net or visit its website at www.DiDiSettlement.com/Representative-Filers to obtain the required file layout. Claims which are not submitted in electronic spreadsheet format and in accordance with the Claims Administrator’s instructions may be subject to rejection. All Representative Filers MUST also submit a manually signed Claim Form, as well as proof of authority to file (see Item 13 of the General Instructions), along with the electronic spreadsheet format. No claims submitted in electronic spreadsheet format will be considered to have been properly submitted unless the Claims Administrator issues to the claimant a written acknowledgment of receipt and acceptance of electronically submitted data. Do not assume that your file has been received until you receive that email. If you do not receive such an email within 10 days of your submission, you should contact the electronic filing department at efile@strategicclaims.net to confirm whether your file was received.
21. NOTICE REGARDING ONLINE FILING: Claimants who are not Representative Filers may submit their claims online using this Claim Form by clicking Next below and following all the instructions.

If you are unsure if you should submit your claim as a Representative Filer, please contact the Claims Administrator at info@strategicclaims.net or (855) 496-9320. If you are not a Representative Filer, but your claim contains a large number of transactions, the Claims Administrator may request that you also submit an electronic spreadsheet showing your transactions to accompany your Claim Form.
