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.
