On 7 July 2026, Knowledge Atlas Technology Joint Stock Company Limited (Knowledge Atlas) issued a voluntary clarification announcement through Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited, addressing recent media reports about its proposed A-share initial public offering (IPO).

The company stated that several media articles incorrectly claimed it had withdrawn the filing for regulatory tutoring related to its forthcoming A-share listing. Knowledge Atlas stressed that these reports do not reflect the actual sequence of events and described them as “malicious market speculation.”

Key milestones highlighted by the company include: • Shareholders approved all resolutions concerning the proposed A-share offering at the annual general meeting on 22 June 2026. • According to the China Securities Regulatory Commission’s official website, the tutoring process for the proposed listing has already been completed.

Knowledge Atlas confirmed it will issue timely updates on any material developments regarding the IPO in accordance with Hong Kong Listing Rules and other applicable regulations. In the interim, shareholders and potential investors are urged to exercise caution when dealing in the company’s securities.

The clarification was authorised by Executive Director and Chairman Dr. Liu Debing on behalf of the Board.
