</TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">New students enrolled for Rise regular courses (including Rise Start and Rise On programs) in the first quarter of 2021 were
5,846, compared with 8,023 for the preceding quarter and 1,507 for the first quarter of 2020. New students enrolled for other Rise courses (including Rise Up, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Can-Talk,</FONT> other Rise online courses, STEAM,
courses provided by The Edge learning centers and light courses) were 42,962 in the first quarter of 2021, compared with 3,231 for the preceding quarter and 32,551 for the first quarter of 2020. The quarter-over-quarter decrease in the number of new
students enrolled for Rise regular courses was mainly due to strong seasonality in the ELT market, where student enrollments are usually lower during the Chinese New Year season in the first quarter, while the year-over-year increase was mainly
attributable to the development of RISE&#146;s OMO capabilities over the past year, providing operational flexibility for classes to continue online when the offline operation of learning centers were suspended in north China during the same period
last year as a result of the outbreak of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> pandemic. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter increases in the number of the new students enrolled for other Rise courses were mainly attributable
to: (i)&nbsp;the online light course program &#147;The Great Chinese New Year&#148; launched in February 2020, which achieved more than 35,000 paid enrollments; and (ii)&nbsp;a significant increase in the number of new students enrolled for other
Rise online courses compared with historical periods as a result of our implementation of diversified customer acquisition strategies in 2021. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Students
in class for Rise regular courses were 46,441 as of March&nbsp;31, 2021, a decrease of 1,283 from 47,724 as of December&nbsp;31, 2020 and a decrease of 6,144 from 52,585 as of March&nbsp;31, 2020. The decrease in the number of students in class was
primarily due to the resurgence of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> pandemic in certain regions in January 2021, which led to the suspension of offline operations of learning centers in Beijing and Shijiazhuang and a chain effect of
lowered new student enrollments and an increase in refunds. However, with the recovered retention rate in March and the gradual reopening of certain offline learning centers, we expect the number of students in class to be back on track by the end
of the second quarter this year. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">New enrollments and students in class numbers represent only one of the metrics of the Company&#146;s business
performance and should not be relied upon as an indicator of quarterly financial results, which may vary depending on a variety of factors, including tuition fees refunded, cost of sales, operating expenses, and certain other factors. </P>
