BEIJING, June 3, 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
Grizzly Research's follow up report, dated June 2, 2020. After thoroughly analyzing the
report, the Company believes it contains numerous errors,
unsubstantiated statements and groundless speculations.
Specifically, the report alleged that Gaotu's student enrollment
numbers are inflated based on data it obtained from API. However,
most of the Spring semester courses have been removed from Gaotu's
website after Gaotu completed the majority of its Spring semester
students' recruitment. Moreover, the Company enhanced its data
security capabilities, so that the data that Grizzly obtained,
including student enrollments and course numbers, are encrypted and
don't reflect actual operational data.
Furthermore, the report wrongly alleged GSX's marketing
activities as illegal. The Company strictly complies with all
relevant legal and regulatory requirements, as well as the terms
and conditions of social media platforms. The Company reserves the
right to take legal actions against the photoshopped images from
Grizzly.
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.
