its Academic AST Business</B></FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt">Hangzhou, China &ndash; September 30,
2021 - Youdao, Inc. (&ldquo;Youdao&rdquo; or the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) (NYSE: DAO), a leading intelligent learning company in China,
today announced its plan to dispose of its after-school tutoring services for academic subjects included in China&rsquo;s compulsory
education system (the &ldquo;Academic AST Business&rdquo;), as part of its efforts to fully comply with applicable PRC regulatory requirements
which have been previously discussed in the Company&rsquo;s press releases on July 26, 2021 and August 19, 2021.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt">As the Company previously announced,
the Opinions on Further Alleviating the Burden of Homework and After-School Tutoring for Students in Compulsory Education published in
July by the PRC central government (the &ldquo;Central Government Opinions&rdquo;) and related measures subsequently published by the
local government in Beijing require that existing Academic AST providers be re-registered as non-profit organizations. To implement the
Central Government Opinions, on September 3, 2021 the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Civil Affairs and State Administration for Market
Regulation of the PRC jointly published the Notice on Re-registration of Academic AST Institutions as Non-Profit Organizations, which
requires, among other things, that all Academic AST providers be re-registered as non-profit organizations by the end of 2021.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt">To comply with such regulatory requirements,
on September 30, 2021, Youdao submitted an application to the competent local government for approval of the proposed disposal of its
Academic AST Business to a buyer with which Youdao is in discussions. The total consideration for the transaction will be determined
after arm&rsquo;s length negotiations between Youdao and the buyer, subject to definitive agreements to be entered into by the relevant
parties. The proposed transaction involves the disposal of Youdao&rsquo;s Academic AST Business, including the transfer of the related
employees and assets and liabilities (including existing service contracts with enrolled students), to the buyer. Youdao currently expects
the transaction to be completed by the end of 2021, subject to execution of the definitive agreements and regulatory approval. There
can be no assurance regarding the ultimate timing of the proposed transaction or that the transaction will be completed.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt">In the second quarter of 2021, revenues
from Youdao&rsquo;s Academic AST Business accounted for approximately 24% of its total revenues.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt">Youdao is committed to fully complying
with applicable PRC laws and regulations, including all regulations and rules adopted by the central and local governments of China which
are designed to implement the requirements of the Central Government Opinions. Youdao will continue to work constructively with the government
authorities in connection with the proposed disposal of the Academic AST Business and to continue developing and improving its innovative
products and technologies for its users.</FONT></P>
