17 Education & Technology Group Inc. Announces Plan to Implement ADS Ratio Change

BEIJING, Dec. 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 17 Education & Technology Group Inc. (Nasdaq: YQ) (“17EdTech” or the “Company”), a leading education technology company in China, today announced that it plans to change the ratio of its American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) to its Class A ordinary shares (the “ADS Ratio”), par value US$0.0001 per share, from the current ADS Ratio of one (1) ADS to ten (10) Class A ordinary shares to a new ADS Ratio of one (1) ADS to fifty (50) Class A ordinary shares, effective on or about December 18, 2023, U.S. Eastern Time (the “Effective Date”).

For 17EdTech’s ADS holders, the change in the ADS Ratio will have the same effect as a one-for-five reverse ADS split. On the Effective Date, holders of the ADSs will be required to surrender and exchange every five (5) ADSs then held for one (1) new ADS. The Bank of New York Mellon, as the depositary bank for 17EdTech’s ADS program, will arrange for the exchange. 17EdTech’s ADSs will continue to be traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “YQ.”

No fractional new ADSs will be issued in connection with the change in the ADS Ratio. Instead, fractional entitlements to new ADSs will be aggregated and sold by the depositary bank and the net cash proceeds from the sale of the fractional ADS entitlements (after deduction of fees, taxes and expenses) will be distributed to the applicable ADS holders by the depositary bank. The change in the ADS Ratio will have no impact on 17EdTech’s underlying Class A ordinary shares, and no Class A ordinary shares will be issued or cancelled in connection with the change in the ADS Ratio. 

As a result of the change in the ADS Ratio, the ADS trading price is expected to increase proportionally, although the Company can give no assurance that the ADS trading price after the change in the ADS Ratio will be equal to or greater than five times the ADS trading price before the change.
