The Company is proactively communicating with the relevant government authorities and intends to fully cooperate with such authorities in order to restore the availability of the Tantan mobile app in the subject mobile app stores as soon as possible. The Company also plans to conduct a comprehensive internal review of the content in the Tantan mobile app and undertake other measures necessary to stay in full compliance with all relevant laws and regulations. Pending restoration of the Tantan app in the relevant app stores in China, the Company's ability to attract new Tantan users will be adversely affected, while existing Tantan users may continue to use the app.
