BEIJING, Sept. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — QuantaSing Group Limited (NASDAQ: QSG) (the “Company”), a pop toy company dedicated to creating beloved collectibles and trend-defining experiences, today announced that in furtherance of its strategy to pursue product-driven growth with the pop toy business, the Company intends to enter into a series of transactions to restructure its established businesses, which includes its individual online learning services business. This restructuring will be accompanied by a planned rebranding to “Here Group Limited” and a change of its ticker symbol to “HERE,” subject to shareholder approval at an extraordinary general meeting scheduled for November 6, 2025.
Business Restructuring
Beijing Liangzizhige Technology Co., Ltd. (“Beijing Liangzizhige”), a wholly-owned PRC subsidiary of the Company, entered into a VIE termination agreement (the “VIE Termination Agreement”) with Feierlai (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd. (“Beijing Feierlai”) and Beijing Chuangyuqizhi Technology Co., Ltd. (“Beijing Chuangyuqizhi”), and the respective nominee shareholder of Beijing Feierlai and Beijing Chuangyuqizhi on September 30, 2025, to terminate a series of contractual arrangements among these parties, including the termination of the voting rights proxy agreements, equity pledge agreements, exclusive consultancy and service agreements and exclusive option agreements (the “VIE Agreements”). The Company had previously operated its individual online learning services in the PRC through the VIE Agreements. The Company also operated learning services overseas and certain consumer and other businesses through the subsidiaries of QuantaSing International Limited (“QS International”) and Rare River Group Limited (“Rare River”; each of QS International and Rare River, a wholly-owned Cayman Islands subsidiary of the Company). As part of the proposed business restructuring and in connection with the termination of the VIE Agreements, the Company (through its relevant subsidiaries and affiliated entities) entered into share transfer agreements with the relevant entities of a third-party buyer (the “Buyer”) on September 30, 2025, pursuant to which Beijing Liangzizhige will transfer all of its equity interests in Beijing Feierlai and Beijing Chuangyuqizhi to the Buyer, and the Company will transfer all of its equity interests in QS International and Rare River to the Buyer, for an aggregate consideration of RMB162 million and US$2.5 million, and the Buyer will assume the net liabilities of these transferred entities as of June 30, 2025, subject to further adjustments reflecting the net liabilities changes before the closing and other adjustments as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties. The termination of the VIE Agreements will take effect on September 30, 2025. As a result of the proposed business restructuring, the Company will cease to engage in any individual online learning services business in the PRC or overseas or any other consumer businesses, and will continue to operate its pop toy business through Shenzhen Yiqi Culture Co., Ltd., together with all other remaining entities following the business restructuring.
Rebranding to Here Group Limited
In connection with the proposed business restructuring, the Company proposes to change its company name to “Here Group Limited,” subject to the approval of its shareholders. The Company also proposes to change its ticker symbol from “QSG” to “HERE.” The board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) has approved the proposed change to the company name and ticker symbol.
Extraordinary General Meeting
The Company will hold an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders at 13/F, Building D, Ronsin Technology Center, Chaoyang District, Beijing, China on Thursday, November 6, 2025, 3:00 P.M. (local time). The proposals to be submitted for shareholders’ approval at the extraordinary general meeting are (1) the change of the Company’s name from QuantaSing Group Limited to Here Group Limited, and the adoption of 奇梦岛集团有限公司 as the dual foreign name of the Company; and (2) the amendment and restatement of the Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company currently in effect by their deletion in the entirety and the substitution in their place of the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. The notice of the EGM and the form of proxy are available on the Company’s website at https://ir.quantasing.com.
The Board has fixed October 2, 2025 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for determining the shareholders entitled to receive notice of the extraordinary general meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. Holders of record of the Company’s ordinary shares at the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to attend the extraordinary general meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof in person.
The company name change will take effect only after receiving the required shareholder approval at the extraordinary general meeting, and the ticker symbol change will take effect thereafter, upon which the Company will trade under the new ticker symbol “HERE.” The Company believes that its proposed company name and ticker symbol change will better align with the business strategy and corporate image going forward.
