Recent Development

Share Repurchase Program

On November 18, 2022, the board of directors of Four Seasons Education (the "Company") approved a share repurchase program (the "Program") whereby the Company is authorized to repurchase its own ordinary shares in the form of American depositary shares ("ADSs") with an aggregate value of up to US$5 million over the next twelve-month period. The Company plans to fund the Program out of its available working capital, existing cash balance or future cash provided by operating activities.

The Company's proposed repurchases under the Program may be made from time to time through various means, including open market purchases and privately negotiated transactions. The per share price cap will be determined from time to time at the discretion of the Chief Executive Officer, as authorized by the Company's board of directors. The proposed share repurchase may be effected on the open market at prevailing market prices, depending on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, share price, trading volume and general market conditions, along with the Company's working capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors, as well as subject to applicable rules of Rule 10b5-1 and/or Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company's board of directors will review the Program periodically, and may authorize adjustment of its terms and size.


Business Development

Immersive Learning Programs

The Company continued to advance its study camp program, creating an immersive learning experience to meet emerging scenario-based, experiential and interactive learning and training needs from group and individual learners. As set out in China's 14th Five-Year Tourism Development Plan issued by the State Council on January 20, 2022, study camp products and services are among the high-quality tourism products promoted by the nation's modern tourism roadmap towards 2025 and beyond. Supported by this national effort, a host of study campgrounds featuring powerful learning resources, a comprehensive curriculum, robust enrichment activities and high-caliber safety measures will be set up across the nation to provide advanced facilities and support for middle- and primary school students' study camp needs. In addition, China's central government has mapped out a strategic plan to significantly develop rural tourism, including cultural heritage and agritourism. Select agritourism projects and villages and towns with ethnic cultural characteristics will be incorporated into the development of immersive science centers and agricultural training centers for middle- and primary school students.

The favorable policy landscape and rising demand for high-quality education programs as well as the Company's strong execution capabilities have all continued to bolster growth momentum in the study camp business. The Company's first camp, located in Hubei province, commenced trial operations during the past summer season and was well received by customers despite COVID containment measures. Moreover, the Company has made good progress building out its study campground pipeline. Construction of its second camp in Shexian in Anhui province, one of China's most renowned tourism cities boasting rich historical and cultural heritage, is now complete, and operations will begin in the near future. The Company has also started construction of facilities for its third camp in Wuyuan in Jiangxi province, known as the "most beautiful countryside in China." The Wuyuan campground will feature more hands-on agricultural practice programs for students to enrich their manual work experience and skills.

Learning Technology and Content Solutions

In its continuous efforts to capture and fulfill the evolving demand in the dynamic education service landscape, the Company has made meaningful strides in creating, developing and launching content solutions tailored to diverse learning scenarios. Leveraging its extensive expertise and resources in the K-12 education market, the Company has developed a wide array of products encompassing course development,

a digital learning system, a student management platform and promotional assistance for educational institutions and K-12 schools.

Supported by a holistic approach to developing and iterating high-quality education content, the Company successfully launched a new book series specializing in elementary school mathematics education in September 2022. The publication features a set of printed math tutorials and exercises along with video tutorials to complement students' academic learning experience, help young learners develop powerful mathematical comprehension skills and improve students' performance in math. The Company has established a sales team and distribution channel network for this product and is currently conducting R&D for an examination system which will supplement the multimedia content, ultimately delivering a closed-loop learning experience for users.

Enrichment Learning Programs

The Company also continued to offer a broad range of expertly designed enrichment learning programs to enhance young learners' scientific, cultural and aesthetic literacy. The Company's enrichment offerings include, among others, calligraphy, art, recitation, bridge, Go, and sudoku. Going forward, the Company will further explore new business opportunities to provide educational services in accordance with relevant rules and regulations.
