Hywin (HYW)

Hywin Holdings Ltd. is a Cayman Islands holding company primarily operating in China through its subsidiaries and contractual arrangements with the variable interest entities (“VIEs”), namely, Hywin Wealth Management Co., Ltd. (“Hywin Wealth Management”), Shanghai Hywin Network Technology Co., Ltd. (“Shanghai Hywin Network Technology”), and Shenzhen Panying Asset Management Co., Ltd. (“Shenzhen Panying”). Hywin does not own any equity interest in the VIEs. PRC laws, regulations, and rules restrict and impose conditions on direct foreign investment in certain types of business, and we therefore operate these businesses in China through the VIEs. For a summary of these contractual arrangements, see “Item 4. Information on the Company—C. Organizational Structure—Contractual Arrangements.” Investors in the ADSs thus are not purchasing, and may never directly hold, equity interests in the VIEs. As used in this annual report, “we”, “us”, or “our” refers to Hywin, its subsidiaries and the VIEs.
