BEIJING, April 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- TCTM Kids IT Education Inc. $(TCTM)$ ("TCTM" or the "Company"), a leading provider of IT-focused supplementary STEM education services in China, today announced that it has entered into an intangible asset purchase agreement with Jeethen International Co., Limited ("Jeethen") on April 1, 2025 (the "Agreement").

As consideration, the Company agrees to issue 135,625,000 Class A ordinary shares of the Company to Jeethen.
