According to the filed complaint, the Registration Statement featured false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that:

• Defendant 17 EdTech's K-12 Academic AST Services would end less than a year after the IPO;
• as part of its ongoing regulatory efforts, Chinese authorities would imminently curtail and/or end 17 EdTech's core business; and
• as a result, Defendants' statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

On December 4, 2020, 17 EdTech issued its IPO of ADR's, selling approximately 27,400,000 ADR's at $10.50 per ADR, which when adjusted for the reverse split (1:4) on November 21, 2021, is $44.00 per ADR. Since the IPO, 17 EdTech's ADRs have traded as low as $0.88 per ADR, and are currently trading at $1.94 per ADR.
