NYSE to Suspend Trading Immediately in Puxin Limited and Commence Delisting Proceedings The New York Stock Exchange LLC (“NYSE” or “Exchange”) announced that the staff of NYSE Regulation has determined to commence proceedings to delist the American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), each representing 20 ordinary shares of Puxin Limited (the “Company”) — ticker symbol NEW — from the NYSE. Trading in the Company’s ADSs, which have been halted since May 3, 2022, will now be suspended immediately. NYSE Regulation reached its decision that the Company is no longer suitable for listing pursuant to Listed Company Manual Section 802.01D, after the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands (the “Cayman Court”) ordered the winding up of the Company on April 29, 2022 in accordance with the Cayman Island Companies Act, with Mr. Simon Richard Conway of PwC Corporate Finance & Recovery (Cayman) Limited, together with Mr. Man Chun So and Mr. Yat Kit Jong of PricewaterhouseCoopers Limited, appointed as Joint Official Liquidators (“JOLs”). NYSE Regulation noted the uncertainty as to the ultimate effect of this process on the value of the Company’s ADSs. In addition, NYSE Regulation also noted the restrictions disclosed in the Company’s May 10, 2022 Form 6-K, whereby acquisitions and disposals of the shares of the Company are only permissible subject to the provision of a validation order from the Cayman Court and will not be considered valid from April 29, 2022 onward, unless otherwise agreed to by the JOLs and subsequently, sanctioned by the Cayman Court. The Company has a right to a review of this determination by a Committee of the Board of Directors of the Exchange. The NYSE will apply to the Securities and Exchange Commission to delist the Company’s securities upon completion of all applicable procedures, including any appeal by the Company of the NYSE Regulation staff’s decision.

Puxin Limited Announces Regain Compliance with NYSE Minimum Price Requirement Puxin Limited announced on February 21, 2022 that based on a notification letter it received on February 18, 2022 from the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), the Company has regained compliance with the NYSE's continued listing standard for share prices. On August 18, 2021, the Company was notified by the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") of its noncompliance with the NYSE's continued listing standards because the average closing price of its American depositary shares had fallen below $1.00 over a period of 30 consecutive trading days. In order to regain compliance with the minimum share price requirement, the Company changed the ratio of its ADSs representing ordinary shares from one (1) ADS representing two (2) ordinary shares to one (1) ADS representing twenty (20) ordinary shares effective on January 31, 2022. On February 18, 2022, NYSE provided confirmation to the Company that a calculation of the Company's average stock price for the 30-trading days ended February 18, 2022 indicated that the Company's stock price was above the NYSE's minimum requirement of $1 based on a 30-trading day average.
