OneSmart International Education Group Limited Receives Notification from NYSE Regarding Delayed Form 20-F Filing

SHANGHAI, Jan. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- OneSmart International Education Group Limited ("OneSmart" or the "Company") (NYSE:ONE) today announced that it received a notice from NYSE Regulation indicating that the Company is not in compliance with Section 802.01E of the NYSE Listed Company Manual as a result of its failure to timely file its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended August 31, 2021 (the "2021 Form 20-F") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

The Company was not able to file the 2021 Form 20-F by December 30, 2021. The delay is primarily due to the change in the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021, as previously announced on January 5, 2022 in a 6-K report. The Company is making all efforts to file the 2021 Form 20-F as soon as possible.

NYSE Regulation notified the Company that the NYSE will closely monitor the status of the Company's late filing and related public disclosures for up to a six-month period from the due date of the annual report. If the Company fails to file its annual report and any subsequent delayed filings within six months from the filing due date, the NYSE may, in its sole discretion, allow the Company's securities to trade for up to an additional six months depending on specific circumstances, as outlined in Section 802.01E of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. It is expected by the NYSE that the Company will submit an official request for NYSE's consideration at the appropriate time. If the NYSE determines that an additional six-month trading period is not appropriate, suspension and delisting procedures will commence pursuant to Section 804.00 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual.  

The notice has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company's ADSs, which will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE during the cure period subject to continued compliance with the other listing requirements of the NYSE.
