BEIJING, May 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- GSX Techedu Inc.
(NYSE: GSX) ("GSX" or the "Company"), a leading online K-12
large-class after-school tutoring service provider in China, today refuted the false allegations in
Muddy Waters Research's latest 6-page report, dated May 28, 2020. After thoroughly analyzing the
report, the Company would like to respond to some of the specific
allegations:
1. Missing "agent_id",
"agent_policy", and "timestamp"
The missing "agent_id" and "agent_policy" that Muddy Waters
alleges are indexing and message processing codes added by an
output server, not included in the input server. Datasets stay
unprocessed in the input server (picture 1) until they get
processed by the output server (picture 2), but both lead to the
same conclusion, which proves the allegations on bot behaviors from
Muddy Waters are wrong.
The Company herein displays a log screenshot (picture 2) from
the same output server as Muddy Waters does, which includes
"agent_id", "agent_policy", and "timestamp", and validates the
accuracy of GSX's previous responses.
2. Precise Joiners, GSX IP Joiners, Burst Joiners
and Early Joiners
The Company already provided detailed clarifications on those
user behaviors in the previous press release.
3. Job posts for engineers to develop and
maintain cellphones
GSX's staff rely heavily on cellphones to communicate daily with
students and parents. In line with the rapid growth in both
students and employees, the Company requires enough engineers to
conduct daily maintenance of cellphones, to improve communications
efficiency and enhance cost control. That work has nothing to do
with maintaining bot farms.
GSX remains committed to maintaining the highest standards of
corporate governance, as well as transparent and timely disclosure
in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC
and the NYSE. The Company remains focused on further developing its
business, better serving its students, and creating value for
shareholders over the long term.
