METX BTC Digital Ltd

Meten EdtechX Education Group Ltd. (Nasdaq: METX) (“Meten EdtechX” or the “Company”), a leading omnichannel English language training (“ELT”) service provider in China, today announced that the Company plans to reopen all of its learning centers in 2021 after a temporary shutdown due to COVID-19.

To reduce the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, Chinese government implemented multiple control and prevention measures to avoid residents being infected. In response to such measures, the Company decided to permanently close its 30 physical learning centers severely affected by the epidemic with the worst performance in high-risk areas after the Chinese New Year holiday in 2020. This strategy helped the Company maintain positive working capital in order to maintain operations of its key learnings centers. As a result, the Company operated a total of 118 learning centers nationwide by the end of 2020, compared to 148 in 2019.

The Company’s top priority is to ensure health and safety of its students, employees and their families. Since March 2020, with proper precautionary measures taken, the Company started to gradually reopen its learning centers, and by the end of June 2020, the Company had reopened a majority of its learning centers in low-risk areas of China. By the end of September 2020, the Company basically resumed operation in high-risk areas of China. Although there were resurgence of sporadic COVID-19 cases recently, the Company still expects to resume full operation of all learning centers across China in March 2021.

After reopening all its learning centers, the Company expects its market share in the Chinese ELT industry to increase. As March is the peak season for English learning, the Company plans to execute its business strategies, aiming to achieve strong results of operations and financial performance.
