LAIX Inc. Receives Delisting Notice from the New York Stock Exchange
On April 7, 2022, LAIX Inc. (the “Company”) was notified by the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) that the staff of NYSE Regulation has determined to commence proceedings to delist the American depositary shares of the Company (the “ADSs”), each representing fourteen (14) Class A ordinary shares of the Company. Trading in the Company’s ADSs was suspended after the market close on the NYSE on April 7, 2022.
NYSE Regulation reached its decision to delist the Company’s ADSs pursuant to Section 802.01B of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual because the Company had fallen below the NYSE’s continued listing standard requiring listed companies to maintain an average global market capitalization over a consecutive 30 trading day period of at least US$15,000,000.
The Company has a right to a review of this determination by a Committee of the Board of Directors of the NYSE. The NYSE will apply to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to delist the Company’s ADSs upon completion of all applicable procedures, including any appeal by the Company of the NYSE Regulation’s decision.
The Company expects to apply for quotation of its ADSs on an appropriate tier of the OTC Markets. This delisting and transition to the OTC Markets will not change the Company’s obligation to file annual reports and certain other reports with the SEC under the applicable federal securities laws. The Company cautions the reader to read this Form 6-K in its entirety and refer to the Company’s press releases and reports filed with the SEC, including the risks and uncertainties discussed therein, before making any investment decision.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
