BEIJING, Aug. 2, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Jianpu Technology Inc. ("Jianpu," or the "Company") (NYSE: JT), a leading independent open platform for discovery and recommendation of financial products in China, today announced that its board of directors has authorized and approved the distribution of the Company's ordinary shares held by RONG360 Inc. ("RONG360") to the existing shareholders of RONG360 in proportion to RONG360's current shareholding structure ("Share Distribution"), effective July 31, 2018. This Share Distribution plan has been disclosed in the Company's Form F-1 declared effective on November 15, 2017 as a continuing step of the Company's corporate restructuring. The register of members of the Company will be updated to reflect the changes relating to the Share Distribution in due course.

Prior to the Share Distribution, RONG360 beneficially owned all of the Company's issued Class B ordinary shares, which constituted approximately 82.3% of the Company's total issued and outstanding ordinary shares and 97.9% of the aggregate voting power of total issued and outstanding ordinary shares, and was deemed as the parent company of Jianpu.

Upon the completion of the Share Distribution, (1) each existing shareholder of RONG360 Inc. who is not a founder or founder affiliate will beneficially own only Class A ordinary shares; and (2) four co-founders of RONG360, Mr. Daqing (David) Ye, Mr. Jiayan Lu, Mr. Caofeng Liu and Mr. Chenchao Zhuang, beneficially own 28.2% of the Company's total issued and outstanding ordinary shares and 77.5% of the aggregate voting power of the Company.

The following table sets forth information concerning the beneficial ownership of the Company's ordinary shares as of July 31, 2018, following completion of the Share Distribution, for: i) each of the Company's directors and executive officers; and ii) each person known to the Company to beneficially own more than 5% of the Company's issued and outstanding ordinary shares. The calculations in the table below are based on ordinary shares outstanding as of July 31, 2018, including (1) 317,592,002 Class A ordinary shares, and (2) 102,471,795 Class B ordinary shares.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, the Company has included shares that the person has the right to acquire within 60 days, including through the exercise of any option, warrant or other right or the conversion of any other security. These shares, however, are not included in the computation of the percentage ownership of any other person.

Notes:

† For each person and group included in this column, percentage of voting power is calculated by dividing the voting power beneficially owned by such person or group by the voting power of all of the Company's Class A and Class B ordinary shares as a single class. Each holder of Class A ordinary shares is entitled to one vote per share and each holder of the Company's Class B ordinary shares is entitled to ten votes per share on all matters submitted to them for a vote. The Company's Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company's shareholders, except as may otherwise be required by law. The Company's Class B ordinary shares are convertible at any time by the holder thereof into Class A ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis.

* Less than 1% of the Company's total outstanding shares.

Further information regarding the beneficial ownership of ordinary shares is included in the Company's filings with the SEC.
