PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights selected information that is presented in greater detail elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all of the information you should consider before investing in the ADSs. You should read this entire prospectus carefully, including the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus, before making an investment decision. This prospectus contains information from an industry report commissioned by us and prepared by Frost & Sullivan, an independent research firm, to provide information regarding our industry and our market position. We refer to this report as the F&S report.

What We Envision

We believe that personal learning and development is a lifelong journey. Everyone, regardless of background, should be given an equal opportunity to pursue their interests, passions, and goals.

Our mission is to improve people’s quality of life and well-being by providing them lifelong personal learning and development opportunities.

Who We Are

QuantaSing Group is the largest online learning service provider in China’s adult learning market for personal interest courses and among the top five service providers in China’s total adult learning market, in terms of revenue in 2021, according to the F&S report. We offer easy-to-understand, affordable, and accessible online courses to adult learners under various brands, including QiNiu, JiangZhen, and QianChi, empowering them to pursue personal development.

We launched our financial literacy learning services in July 2019 and quickly became the largest online financial learning service provider for adults in China, with a market share of 36.9% in terms of revenue in 2021, according to the F&S report. In August 2021, we expanded our offerings into a selective repertoire of other personal interest courses beyond financial literacy, to leverage the general public’s gradual awakening to more diverse needs in pursuing personal development and lifelong learning. In February 2020, we launched our marketing services to financial intermediary enterprises, allowing them to connect with our learners to enlarge their customer base. In June 2022, we launched our enterprise talent management services to provide enterprise customers with online talent assessment, training and learning services for internal employee management. These services have enabled us to broaden our service offerings into enterprise customers and evolve into a two-sided service provider for both individuals and enterprises.

Our technology capability forms the bedrock of our business growth. We continuously invest in our proprietary technology and business intelligence, embedding them in every key aspect of our business operations, from content development, live streaming, pre-recording, and intelligent study toolkits, to customer engagement, sales conversion, and operation management. By adopting various self-developed smart tools, we can gain real-time business intelligence during our courses to improve our teaching quality and learner experience, upgrade and enrich our course offerings, and ultimately, enhance the sales conversion for additional and/or more advanced courses.

We have benefited from our agile and scalable business model and experienced a significant growth in our business since we launched our financial literacy learning services in July 2019. As of November 30, 2022, we had accumulated approximately 75.1 million registered users, quadrupling from 17.0 million as of June 30, 2021. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, we had approximately 1.1 million paying learners, representing a 37.5% increase from 0.8 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. For the five months ended November 30, 2022,

we had 0.5 million paying learners. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Key Operating Metrics” for details. Our total revenues were RMB1,759.9 million, RMB2,868.0 million (US$403.2 million), RMB744.0 million and RMB659.4 million (US$92.7 million) for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2021 and 2022 and the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2022, respectively. We incurred net loss of RMB316.0 million, RMB233.4 million (US$32.8 million), RMB77.9 million and RMB97.3 million (US$13.7 million) in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2021 and 2022 and the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2022, respectively. We had adjusted net loss of RMB214.2 million, adjusted net profit of RMB58.0 million (US$8.2 million) and adjusted net loss of RMB48.8 million and RMB50.9 million (US$7.2 million) in the same periods, respectively. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

What We Offer

We offer (1) online courses under various brands to individual adult learners and (2) marketing services and enterprise talent management services to enterprise customers.

We provide our financial literacy courses under the brand QiNiu to democratize financial learning for the mass market. Fewer than 35% adults in China were financially literate as of 2021, significantly lower than that in other large economies such as the United States (57%) or the United Kingdom (67%), according to the F&S report. This has created a robust demand for our financial literacy courses. QiNiu offers free or paid financial literacy courses at introductory, intermediate, and advanced levels, covering topics across personal finance and wealth management. As our largest brand, Qiniu had approximately 59.7 million registered users as of November 30, 2022 and 1.0 million paying learners for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, compared with approximately 17.0 million registered users as of June 30, 2021 and 0.8 million paying learners for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. For the five months ended November 30, 2022, Qiniu had approximately 0.4 million paying learners.

We expanded our course offerings into other personal interest courses in August 2021. Leveraging our course development experience, well-designed technology infrastructure, and proven operating model from QiNiu, we quickly introduced our new brands, such as JiangZhen and QianChi, to provide other personal interest courses to adult learners. We have thoughtfully curated various trending courses, such as short video production courses, in response to the popularity of video blogging on social media, and personal well-being courses, in response to people’s increased awareness of healthy lifestyles, and electronic keyboard and Chinese painting courses, in response to people’s rising pursuits of personal hobbies. We, from time to time, adjust the course mix to capture the evolving market trends. We had quickly accumulated approximately 15.4 million registered users for other personal interest courses, as of November 30, 2022, and approximately 0.1 million and 0.1 million paying learners, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 and the five months ended November 30, 2022, respectively.

Our fast growing user base, which consists of a large and loyal paying learner base, coupled with proven technology and accumulated experience, creates an immense business opportunity for us to become a two-sided service provider, delivering services to both individual learners and enterprises. We launched our marketing services to financial intermediary enterprises in February 2020, allowing them to connect with our learners to enlarge their customer base. In June 2022, we launched our enterprise talent management services, offering systematic online talent assessment, training and learning services to enterprises for internal employee management. We are continuously exploring more diverse opportunities to leverage our large user base, proven technology, and accumulated experience in online learning markets and achieve greater synergy. For instance, we are in the process of developing technical and operating services to enterprises interested in developing their proprietary online learning platform services.

What Sets Us Apart

We believe our success to date is primarily attributable to the following key competitive strengths.

How We Approach the Future

We intend to pursue the following strategies to drive future growth.

Market Opportunities

We currently primarily operate in China’s adult learning market for personal interest courses. China’s online adult learning market for personal interest courses has been growing faster than the offline market in the past few years, and is expected to maintain the growth momentum from 2021 to 2026, benefiting from the growing online learning habits in the adult learning market in China. The market size of China’s online adult learning market for personal interest courses, in terms of revenue, increased from RMB11.4 billion in 2017 to RMB22.7 billion (US$3.5 billion) in 2021, at a CAGR of 18.8%, and is expected to reach RMB62.1 billion (US$9.6 billion) in 2026, at a CAGR of 22.3% from 2021 to 2026, according to the F&S report. In particular, with respect to our financial literacy courses which have contributed significantly to our rapid growth, the market size of China’s online financial learning market, in terms of revenue, increased from RMB5.0 billion in 2017 to RMB6.5 billion (US$1.0 billion) in 2021, at a CAGR of 6.8%, and is expected to reach RMB17.1 billion (US$2.6 billion) in 2026, at a CAGR of 21.3% from 2021 to 2026, according to the same source. See “Industry Overview” for details.

Corporate History and Structure

QuantaSing Group Limited is an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands with no substantive operation. We carry out our business in China through Beijing Liangzizhige, our WFOE, and its contractual arrangements, commonly known as the VIE structure, with Beijing Feierlai, a variable interest entity based in China, and its nominee shareholder.

We began our online learning services in July 2019 when we were within the group of Witty network Limited (“Witty network”), a Cayman Islands holding company held by our existing shareholders engaging in a wide range of businesses. In anticipation of our initial public offering and in order to focus on developing our current online learning and enterprise service business, our existing shareholders restructured our corporate

structure and spun-off our current business from Witty network and its affiliate, EW Technology Limited (“EW Technology”), into the entities within our group. These restructuring steps include, among others, incorporating QuantaSing Group Limited as our listing entity and establishing the VIE structure for our current business under QuantaSing Group Limited. The restructuring and spin-off was completed in May 2022. The VIE structure was established through a series of agreements entered into between our WFOE, the VIE and its nominee shareholder, comprising a voting rights proxy agreement, an equity pledge agreement, an exclusive consultancy and service agreement and an exclusive option agreement. The contractual arrangements allow us to (1) be considered as the primary beneficiary of the VIE for accounting purposes and consolidate the financial results of the affiliated entities, (2) receive substantially all of the economic benefits of the affiliated entities, (3) have the pledge right over the equity interests in the VIE as the pledgee, and (4) 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. See “Corporate History and Structure” for details.

The following diagram illustrates our simplified corporate structure, including our principal subsidiaries and the affiliated entities, as of the date of this prospectus.

The VIE structure is not equivalent of an investment in the equity interest of such entities. Neither QuantaSing Group Limited nor our WFOE owns any equity interests in the affiliated entities. Our contractual arrangements with the VIE and its nominee shareholder are not equivalent of an investment in the equity interest of the VIE. Investors are purchasing equity interests in QuantaSing Group Limited, the Cayman holding company, and are not purchasing, and may never hold, equity interests in the affiliated entities. Instead, we are regarded as the primary beneficiary of the VIE and consolidate the financial results of the affiliated entities under U.S. GAAP in light of the contractual arrangements. There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of current and future PRC laws, regulations and rules regarding the status of the rights of our Cayman Islands holding company with respect to its contractual arrangements with the VIE and its nominee shareholder through our WFOE, and we may incur substantial costs to enforce the terms of the arrangements. See “— Implications of Being a Company with the Holding Company Structure and the VIE Structure” for details. The VIE structure is associated with certain unique risks and uncertainties, including, among others, the risks that the contractual arrangements with the VIE and its shareholder may be less effective than direct ownership in providing operational control, and that such arrangement may not be enforceable under applicable laws and regulations. Such risks and uncertainties may result in a material adverse change in our operations, cause the value of any securities we offer to significantly decline or become worthless. See “— Implications of Being a Company with the Holding Company Structure and the VIE Structure — The VIE structure and its associated risks” and “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure” for details.

Risks and Challenges

Investing in the ADSs involves significant risks. You should carefully consider all of the information in this prospectus before making an investment in the ADSs. We set forth below a summary of the principal risks and challenges we face, organized under relevant headings. These risks are discussed more fully in the section titled “Risk Factors.”

Risks related to our business and industry

Risks and uncertainties relating to our business and industry include, but are not limited to, the following:

Risks related to our corporate structure

We primarily conduct our business through the contractual arrangements established by our WFOE with the VIE and a holding company structure. We, our WFOE, the affiliated entities and holders of our securities

(including the ADSs) are therefore subject to various legal and operational risks and uncertainties related to our corporate structure, which would result in a material adverse change in our operations, cause the value of any securities we offer to significantly decline or become worthless. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following:

Risks related to doing business in China

We face various legal and operational risks and uncertainties related to being based in and having significant operations in China, and therefore are subject to risks associated with doing business in China generally. Risks and uncertainties related to doing business in China could result in a material adverse change in our operations, significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to complete this offering or continue to offer securities to investors, and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or become worthless. Such risks and uncertainties include, but not limited to, the following:

Risks related to the ADSs and this offering

In addition to the risks described above, we are also subject to general risks relating to the ADSs and this offering, including, but not limited to, the following:

Implications of Being a Company with the Holding Company Structure and the VIE Structure

The VIE structure and its associated risks

QuantaSing Group Limited is a Cayman Islands holding company with no substantive operations. We carry out our business through our WFOE and its contractual arrangements, commonly known as the VIE structure, with the VIE based in China and its nominee shareholder, due to the PRC regulatory restrictions on direct foreign investment in certain value-added telecommunication services and other internet related business. Investors in the ADSs are purchasing the equity securities of QuantaSing Group Limited, the Cayman Islands holding company, rather than the equity securities of the affiliated entities in which our operations are conducted.

The VIE structure was established through a series of agreements entered into between our WFOE, the VIE and its nominee shareholder, comprising a voting rights proxy agreement, an equity pledge agreement, an exclusive consultancy and service agreement and an exclusive option agreement. The contractual arrangements allow us to (1) be considered as the primary beneficiary of the VIE for accounting purposes and consolidate the financial results of the affiliated entities, (2) receive substantially all of the economic benefits of the affiliated entities, (3) have the pledge right over the equity interests in the VIE as the pledgee, and (4) 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. For details, see “Corporate History and Structure.”

However, neither QuantaSing Group Limited nor our WFOE owns any equity interests in the affiliated entities. Our contractual arrangements with the VIE and its nominee shareholder are not equivalent of an investment in the equity interest of the affiliated entities. Instead, as described above, we are regarded as the primary beneficiary of the VIE and consolidate the financial results of the affiliated entities under U.S. GAAP in light of the VIE structure.

The VIE structure involves unique risks to investors in the ADSs. It may be less effective than direct ownership in providing us with operational control over the VIE or its subsidiaries and we may incur substantial costs to enforce the terms of the arrangements. For instance, the VIE and its shareholder could breach their contractual arrangements with us by, among other things, failing to conduct the operations of the VIE in an acceptable manner or taking other actions that are detrimental to our interests. If we had direct ownership of the VIE in China, we would be able to exercise our rights as a shareholder to effect changes in the board of directors of the VIE, which in turn could implement changes, subject to any applicable fiduciary obligations, at the

management and operational level. However, under the current contractual arrangements, we rely on the performance by the VIE and its shareholder of their obligations under the contracts to direct the VIE’s activities. The shareholder of the VIE may not act in the best interests of our company or may not perform its obligations under these contracts. If any dispute relating to these contracts remains unresolved, we will have to enforce our rights under these contracts through the operations of PRC law and arbitration, litigation and other legal proceedings and therefore will be subject to uncertainties in the PRC legal system.

We may face challenges in enforcing the contractual arrangements due to jurisdictional and legal limitations. There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of current and future PRC laws, regulations and rules regarding the status of the rights of our Cayman Islands holding company with respect to its contractual arrangements with the VIE and its nominee shareholder through our WFOE. As of the date of this prospectus, the agreements under the contractual arrangements among our WFOE, the VIE and its nominee shareholder have not been tested in a court of law. It is uncertain whether any new PRC laws or regulations relating to VIE structures will be adopted or, if adopted, what they would provide. If we or the VIE is found to be in violation of any existing or future PRC laws or regulations or fail to obtain or maintain any of the required licenses, permits, registrations or approvals, the relevant PRC regulatory authorities would have broad discretion to take action in dealing with such violations or failures. The PRC regulatory authorities could disallow the VIE structure at any time in the future. If the PRC government deems that our contractual arrangements with the VIE do not comply with PRC regulatory restrictions on foreign investment in the relevant industries, or if these regulations or the interpretation of existing regulations change or are interpreted differently in the future, we could be subject to severe penalties and may incur substantial costs to enforce the terms of the arrangements, or be forced to relinquish our interests in those operations. Our Cayman Islands holding company, our subsidiaries, the affiliated entities, and investors in our securities (including the ADS) face uncertainty with respect to potential future actions by the PRC government that could affect the enforceability of the contractual arrangements with the VIE and, consequently, significantly affect the financial performance of our company and the affiliated entities as a whole. For details, see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure.”

Revenues contributed by the affiliated entities accounted for substantially all of our total revenues in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2021 and 2022 and the three months ended September 30, 2022. For a condensed consolidation schedule depicting the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for us, our WFOE and the VIE, see “— Summary Consolidated Financial and Operating Data” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” For details of the permissions and licenses required for operating our business in China and the related limitations, see “— Regulatory Permissions and Licenses for Our Operations in China and This Offering” and “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and Industry — We may face risks and uncertainties with respect to the licensing requirement for our business. Any lack of or failure to maintain requisite approvals, licenses or permits applicable to us may have a material and adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.”

Cash and asset flows through our organization

In light of our holding company structure and the VIE structure, our ability to pay dividends to the shareholders, including the investors in the ADSs, and to service any debt we may incur may highly depend upon dividends paid by our WFOE to us and service fees paid by the affiliated entities to our WFOE, despite that we may obtain financing at the holding company level through other methods. For instance, if any of our WFOE or the VIE incurs debt on its own behalf in the future, the instruments governing such debt may restrict its ability to pay dividends to us and the investors in the ADS as well as the ability to settle amounts owed under the contractual arrangements. As of the date of this prospectus, none of QuantaSing Group Limited, our WFOE and the VIE has paid any dividends or made any distributions to their respective shareholder(s), including any U.S. investors. In the fiscal years ended June 30, 2021 and 2022, the total amount of the service fees that the VIE paid to our WFOE under the contractual arrangements was RMB204.1 million and RMB239.6 million, respectively. For details, see

“— Summary Consolidated Financial and Operating Data — Financial Information Relating to the Affiliated Entities.” We expect to continue to distribute earnings and settle the service fees owed under the VIE agreements at the request of our WFOE and based on our business needs, and do not expect to declare dividend in the foreseeable future. We currently have not maintained any cash management policies that specifically dictate how funds shall be transferred among QuantaSing Group Limited, the subsidiaries of QuantaSing Group Limited (including our WFOE), the affiliated entities and investors. We will determine the payment of dividends and fund transfer based on our specific business needs in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations.

Under PRC laws and regulations, our WFOE is permitted to pay dividends only out of their retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Furthermore, our WFOE and the affiliated entities are required to make appropriations to certain statutory reserve funds or may make appropriations to certain discretionary funds, which are not distributable as cash dividends except in the event of a solvent liquidation of the companies. Remittance of dividends by our WFOE out of China is also subject to certain procedures with the banks designated by the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”). These restrictions are benchmarked against the paid-up capital and the statutory reserve funds of our WFOE and the net assets of the VIE in which we have no legal ownership. In addition, while there are currently no such restrictions on foreign exchange and our ability to transfer cash or assets between QuantaSing Group Limited and our Hong Kong subsidiary, if certain PRC laws and regulations, including existing laws and regulations and those enacted or promulgated in the future were to become applicable to our Hong Kong subsidiary in the future, and to the extent our cash or assets are in Hong Kong or a Hong Kong entity, such funds or assets may not be available due to interventions in or the imposition of restrictions and limitations on our ability to transfer funds or assets by the PRC government. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that the PRC government will not intervene or impose restrictions on QuantaSing Group Limited, its subsidiaries and the affiliated entities to transfer or distribute cash within the organization, which could result in an inability of or prohibition on making transfers or distributions to entities outside of mainland China and Hong Kong. For details, see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — We rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our WFOE to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have, and any limitation on the ability of our WFOE to make payments to us could have a material and adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business,” and “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China —Restrictions on the remittance of Renminbi into and out of China and governmental control of currency conversion may limit our ability to pay dividends and other obligations, and affect the value of your investment.”

Under PRC laws and regulations, we, the Cayman Islands holding company, may fund our WFOE only through capital contributions or loans, and fund the affiliated entities only through loans, subject to satisfaction of applicable government registration and approval requirements. As of June 30, 2021 and 2022, and September 30, 2022, (1) the aggregate amount of capital contribution by EW Technology Limited to our subsidiaries in the BVI and Hong Kong was nil, RMB51.7 million and RMB51.7 million, respectively, which was presented in “net cash provided by transactions with related parties” of the “cash flows from financing activities” under the “Other subsidiaries” column in the condensed consolidating cash flows information; (2) the aggregate amount of capital contribution by QuantaSing Group Limited to our subsidiaries in the BVI and Hong Kong was nil, RMB47.1 million and RMB47.1 million, respectively, which was presented in “net cash used in transactions with intra-group companies” of the “cash flows from investing activities” under the “QuantaSing Group Limited” column, and in “net cash provided by transactions with intragroup companies” of the “cash flows from financing activities” under the “Other subsidiaries” column in the condensed consolidating cash flows information; (3) the aggregate amount of capital contribution by QuantaSing Group Limited to our WFOE through our subsidiaries in the BVI and Hong Kong was nil, RMB64.2 million and RMB64.2 million, respectively, which was presented in “net cash used in transactions with intra-group companies” of the “cash flows from investing activities” under the “Other subsidiaries” column, and was also included as a part of “net cash provided by transactions with intra-group companies” of the “cash flows from financing activities” under the “Primary beneficiary of the VIE” column in the condensed consolidating cash flows information; and (4) the outstanding balance of the principal

amount of loans by our WFOE to the VIE was RMB7.0 million, nil and nil, respectively, and was included in “amounts due to related parties” under “The VIE and its subsidiaries” column in the condensed consolidating balance sheet information, all of which were provided by Witty network’s then wholly-owned PRC subsidiary and had been repaid before the completion of the restructuring and spin-off; and (5) the outstanding balance of the principal amount of loans by the VIE to our WFOE was nil, RMB156.0 million and RMB130.2 million, respectively, and was presented in “amounts due from intra-group companies” under “The VIE and its subsidiaries” column, and “amounts due to intra-group companies” under the “Primary beneficiary of the VIE” column in the condensed consolidating balance sheet information. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 and 2022, and three months ended September 30, 2021, the net cash transferred by the VIE to our WFOE was nil, RMB156.0 million and RMB21.0 million, respectively, in addition to the service fees paid under the contractual arrangements. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the net cash repaid by our WFOE to the VIE was RMB25.8 million. In the fiscal years ended June 30, 2021 and 2022, and the three months ended September 30, 2022, no assets other than cash were transferred within our organization. For details, see “— Summary Consolidated Financial and Operating Data — Financial Information Relating to the Affiliated Entities.”

Under the Cayman Islands laws, QuantaSing Group Limited is not subject to tax on income or capital gains. Upon payments of dividends to our shareholders, no Cayman Islands withholding tax will be imposed. For purposes of illustration, the following discussion reflects the hypothetical taxes that might be required to be paid in mainland China and Hong Kong, assuming that: (1) we have taxable earnings in the VIE and (2) we determine to pay a dividend in the future:

The table above has been prepared under the assumption that all profits of the VIE will be distributed as fees to our WFOE under tax neutral contractual arrangements. If, in the future, the accumulated earnings of the VIE exceed the service fees paid to our WFOE (or if the current and contemplated fee structure between the inter-group entities is determined to be non-substantive and disallowed by PRC tax authorities), the VIE could make a non-deductible transfer to our WFOE for the amounts of the stranded cash in the VIE. This would result in such transfer being non-deductible expenses for the VIE but still taxable income for our WFOE. Such a transfer and the related tax burdens would reduce our after-tax income to approximately 50.6% of the pre-tax income. Our management believes that there is only a remote possibility that this scenario would happen.

Dividend Distribution and Taxation

As of the date of this prospectus, none of QuantaSing Group Limited, our WFOE and the VIE has paid any dividends or made any distributions to their respective shareholder(s), including any U.S. investors, nor do we have any present plan to pay any cash dividends on our ordinary shares in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain most, if not all, of our available funds and any future earnings to operate and expand our business. See “Dividend Policy” for details.

Subject to the “passive foreign investment company” rules, the gross amount of any distribution that we make to a U.S. Holder (as defined in “Taxation — United States Federal Income Taxation”) with respect to the ADSs or Class A ordinary shares (including any amounts withheld to reflect PRC withholding taxes) will be taxable as a dividend for United States federal income tax purposes, to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under United States federal income tax principles. In addition, if we are considered a PRC tax resident enterprise for tax purposes, any dividends we pay to our overseas shareholders may be regarded as China-sourced income and as a result may be subject to PRC withholding tax. See “Taxation” for details.

Regulatory Permissions and Licenses for Our Operations in China and This Offering

We, through our WFOE and the affiliated entities, conduct our operations in China. Our operations in China are governed by PRC laws and regulations. We and the affiliated entities are required to obtain certain licenses, permits and approvals from relevant governmental authorities in China in order to operate our business and conduct this offering. As of the date of this prospectus, as advised by our PRC counsel, CM Law Firm, our WFOE and the affiliated entities have obtained the licenses, permits and registrations from the PRC government authorities necessary for our business operations in China, including, among others, the Value-added Telecommunications Business Operating License for internet information service, the Permit for Production and Operation of Radio and Television Programs, and the Publication Operation License, except for the License for Online Transmission of Audio-Visual Program for offering certain courses in live streaming or audio-visual contents. Given the uncertainties of interpretation and implementation of relevant laws and regulations and the enforcement practice by relevant government authorities, and the promulgation of new laws and regulations and amendment to the existing ones, we may be required to obtain additional licenses, permits, registrations, filings or approvals for our business operations in the future. For instance, we or the affiliated entities may be required to obtain the Online Publishing Service License for our online learning services. We cannot assure you that we or the affiliated entities will be able to obtain, in a timely manner or at all, or maintain such licenses, permits or approvals, and we or the affiliated entities may also inadvertently conclude that such permissions or approvals are not required. Any lack of or failure to maintain requisite approvals, licenses or permits applicable to us or the affiliated entities may have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects and cause the value of any securities we offer to significantly decline or become worthless. For details, see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and Industry — We may face risks and uncertainties with respect to the licensing requirement for our business. Any lack of or failure to maintain requisite approvals, licenses or permits applicable to us may have a material and adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.”

On December 28, 2021, the CAC and other twelve PRC regulatory authorities jointly revised and promulgated the Measures for Cybersecurity Review (the “Cybersecurity Review Measures”), which became effective on February 15, 2022. See “Regulation — Regulations on Internet Information Security and Censorship.” As a network platform operator who possesses personal information of more than one million users for purposes of the Cybersecurity Review Measures, we have applied for and completed a cybersecurity review for this offering and listing pursuant to the Cybersecurity Review Measures. The review was completed in August 2022. We have not received any material adverse findings in such review.

On December 24, 2021, the CSRC released the Provisions of the State Council on the Administration of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (Draft for Comments) and the Administrative Measures for the Filing of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (Draft for Comments) (the “Draft Rules Regarding Overseas Listing”). See “Regulation — Regulations on M&A and Overseas Listings.” As of the date of this prospectus, as advised by our PRC counsel, CM Law Firm, considering that (1) the Draft Rules Regarding Overseas Listing has not come into effect; and (2) no explicit provision under currently effective PRC laws, regulations and rules clearly requires an offering with contractual arrangements like ours to obtain approvals from the CSRC, we or the affiliated entities are not required to obtain an approval from the CSRC in connection with this offering and listing.

Except as disclosed above, we or the affiliated entities have not been requested to obtain or denied any license or permission from any government authority in China in connection with the VIE’s operations or this offering as of the date of this prospectus.

However, the PRC regulatory authorities, including the CSRC, may adopt new laws, rules and regulations, or detailed implementation and interpretation of the current applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations, and we cannot assure you that the relevant PRC regulatory authorities, including the CSRC, would reach the same conclusion as us or our PRC counsel. Furthermore, the PRC government has recently indicated an intent to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas by and foreign investment in China-based issuers. For instance, the Draft Rules Regarding Overseas Listing stipulates that the China-based companies, or the issuer, shall fulfill the filing procedures within three working days after the issuer makes an application for initial public offering and listing in an overseas market. In addition, an overseas offering and listing is prohibited under any of certain circumstances, including, among others, prohibition by national laws and regulations and relevant provisions, threatening to or endangering national security, material violation of laws by the company or its controllers or its directors, supervisors, or senior executives. If the Draft Rules Regarding Overseas Listing were to be implemented as proposed in its current form before this offering and listing is completed, we might be subject to the filing requirements with the CSRC for this offering and listing and might also be prohibited from completing this offering if any of the circumstances described in the Draft Rules Regarding Overseas Listing occurs. Moreover, as the Draft Rules Regarding Overseas Listing has not come into effect, there remains uncertainty in the final form and the interpretation and implementation of such overseas listing rules, and we cannot assure you that the relevant PRC government authorities, including the CSRC, would not promulgate new rules or new interpretation of current rules to require us or the affiliated entities to obtain CSRC or other PRC government approvals or complete other compliance procedures for this offering. We cannot assure you that we or the affiliated entities would be able to obtain such approvals or complete such other compliance procedures, to the extent that they may be subsequently required by the relevant regulatory authorities, in a timely manner, or at all, or that any completion of review or approval or other compliance procedures would not be rescinded, in which case we may face regulatory sanctions for failure to complete the requisite compliance procedures or obtain the requisite approvals for this offering. If any of such event occurs, it could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to complete this offering or launch any new offering of our securities and could cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless. For details, see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing business in China — Recent regulatory development in China may exert more oversight and control over listing and offerings that are conducted overseas. The approval of the CSRC may be required in connection with this offering and our future capital raising activities, and, if required, we cannot assure you that we or the affiliated entities will be able to obtain such approval, in which case we may face regulatory sanctions for failure to obtain such approval for this offering and our future capital raising activities” and “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing business in China — Recent greater oversight by the CAC over data security, particularly for companies seeking to list on a foreign exchange, could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability in capital raising activities and materially and adversely affect our business and the value of your investment.”

The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act

The HFCAA was enacted on December 18, 2020. Pursuant to the HFCAA and related regulations, if we have filed an audit report issued by a registered public accounting firm that the PCAOB has determined that it is unable to inspect and investigate completely, the SEC will identify us as a “Commission-identified Issuer,” and the trading of our securities on any U.S. national securities exchanges, as well as any over-the-counter trading in the United States, will be prohibited if we are identified as a Commission-identified Issuer for three consecutive years. There have been various initiatives to reduce the number of consecutive non-inspection years required for triggering the prohibitions under the HFCAA from three to two years. On June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed a bill known as the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act to that effect, and on February 4, 2022, the United States House of Representatives passed a bill which contained, among others, an identical provision. If this provision is enacted into law and the number of consecutive non-inspection years required for triggering the prohibitions under the HFCAA is reduced from three to two years, then our shares and ADSs could be prohibited from trading in the United States. In August 2022, the PCAOB, the CSRC and the Ministry of Finance of the PRC signed the Statement of Protocol, which establishes a specific and accountable framework for the PCAOB to conduct inspections and investigations of PCAOB-governed accounting firms in mainland China and Hong Kong. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB announced that it was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong completely in 2022. The PCAOB Board vacated its previous 2021 determinations that the PCAOB was unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong. However, whether the PCAOB will continue to be able to satisfactorily conduct inspections of PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong is subject to uncertainties and depends on a number of factors out of our and our auditor’s control. The PCAOB continues to demand complete access in mainland China and Hong Kong moving forward and is making plans to resume regular inspections in early 2023 and beyond, as well as to continue pursuing ongoing investigations and initiate new investigations as needed. The PCAOB has also indicated that it will act immediately to consider the need to issue new determinations with the HFCAA if needed. If the PCAOB is unable to inspect and investigate completely registered public accounting firms located in China and we fail to retain another registered public accounting firm that the PCAOB is able to inspect and investigate completely in 2023 and beyond, or if we otherwise fail to meet the PCAOB’s requirements, the ADSs will be delisted from the Nasdaq Stock Market, and our shares and ADSs will not be permitted for trading over the counter in the United States under the HFCAA and related regulations. The related risks and uncertainties could cause the value of the ADSs to significantly decline or become worthless. For details, see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — The ADSs will be delisted and our shares and ADSs will be prohibited from trading in the over-the-counter market under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act if the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely auditors located in China for three consecutive years or, if proposed changes to the law are enacted, for two consecutive years. The delisting of the ADSs, or the threat of their being delisted, may materially and adversely affect the value of your investment.”

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

As a company with less than US$1.07 billion in revenue for our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (the “JOBS Act”). An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other requirements compared to those that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include exemption from the auditor attestation requirement under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 in the assessment of the emerging growth company’s internal control over financial reporting. The JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company does not need to comply with any new or revised financial accounting standards until such date that a private company is otherwise required to comply with such new or revised accounting standards. Pursuant to the JOBS Act, we have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this

extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As a result, our operating results and financial statements may not be comparable to the operating results and financial statements of other companies who have adopted the new or revised accounting standards.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (1) the last day of the fiscal year during which we have total annual gross revenues of at least US$1.07 billion; (2) the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of this offering; (3) the date on which we have, during the preceding three-year period, issued more than US$1.0 billion in non-convertible debt; or (4) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) which would occur if we have been a public company for at least 12 months and the market value of the ADSs that are held by non-affiliates exceeds US$700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter. Once we cease to be an emerging growth company, we will not be entitled to the exemptions provided in the JOBS Act as discussed above.

Implications of Being a Controlled Company

We will be a “controlled company” as defined under the Nasdaq Stock Market Listing Rules because Mr. Peng Li, our founder, chairman and the chief executive officer, will hold        % of our total issued and outstanding ordinary shares and will be able to exercise        % of the total voting power of our issued and outstanding share capital upon the completion of this offering, assuming that the underwriters do not exercise their option to purchase additional ADSs, or        % of our total issued and outstanding ordinary shares and        % of the total voting power of our issued and outstanding share capital upon the completion of this offering, assuming that the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional ADSs in full. As a result, Mr. Peng Li will have the ability to control or significantly influence the outcome of matters requiring approval by shareholders. For so long as we remain as a “controlled company,” we are permitted to elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including an exemption from the rule that a majority of our board of directors must be independent directors. We do not currently plan to utilize the exemptions available for controlled companies after we complete this offering, but instead, we plan to rely on the exemption available for foreign private issuers to follow our home country governance practices. As a result, you will not have the same protection afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to these corporate governance requirements. For details, see “Risk Factor — Risks Related to the ADSs and this Offering — We will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq Stock Market listing rules and, as a result, may rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements that provide protection to shareholders of other companies.”

Implications of Being a Foreign Private Issuer

We are a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the rules under the Exchange Act, and as such we are exempt from certain provisions of the securities rules and regulations in the United States that are applicable to U.S. domestic issuers. Moreover, the information we are required to file with or furnish to the SEC will be less extensive and less timely compared to that required to be filed with the SEC by U.S. domestic issuers. In addition, as a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, we are permitted to adopt certain home country practices in relation to corporate governance matters that differ significantly from the corporate governance standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market. We currently intend to follow Cayman Islands corporate governance practices in lieu of the corporate governance standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market that listed companies must: (1) have a majority of independent directors, (2) have a nominating/corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors, (3) have an audit committee composed of at least three members, (4) obtain shareholders’ approval for issuance of securities in certain situations, and (5) hold annual shareholders’ meetings. These practices may afford less protection to shareholders than they would enjoy if we complied fully with the corporate governance standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market.
