Hywin reports redemption issues relating to certain asset-backed products

Hywin Holdings announced that redemption issues have been reported on certain asset-backed products previously distributed by the Company. The asset managers of these products were unable to reach an agreement with the relevant clients to defer redemption. While the Company acted only as distributor of these asset-backed products, the clients are now demanding repayment from the Company. Any failure to adequately deal with these redemption issues could materially and adversely affect our reputation, client relationship, business, financial condition and prospects. The Company has formed a special investigation committee comprised of members of senior management to oversee an internal investigation. The investigation is at a preliminary stage. Additional information concerning material developments of the investigation will be released by the Company in a timely manner.
