Summary of the Action and Settlement

This website relates to a securities class action lawsuit (the “Action”) against GSX Techedu, Inc. (n/k/a Gaotu Techedu Inc.)(“GSX”), Larry Xiangdong Chen, and Nan Shen (collectively, “Defendants”). The Action involves allegations that the Defendants violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by making misrepresentations and/or omissions of material fact in public statements to the investing public regarding GSX’s enrollments and revenues, resulting in the price of GSX Securities being artificially inflated and dropping in response to subsequent disclosures. 

Defendants have denied and continue to deny each, any, and all allegations of wrongdoing, fault, liability, or damage, and the Court did not finally decide in favor of Plaintiffs or Defendants. Instead, both sides agreed to a Settlement which will provide for the payment of $9,500,000 in cash (the “Settlement Amount”), plus interest as it accrues, minus attorneys’ fees, costs, compensatory awards to Plaintiffs and administrative expenses, and Taxes on interest, to investors who purchased GSX Securities during the Class Period, and who submited eligible Claim Forms. 

On June 4, 2026, the Court held a hearing to decide whether to approve the Settlement and related matters. On June 16, 2026, the Court entered a Final Order and Judgment approving the Settlement and awarding attorney’s fees and litigation expenses.

The Settlement Class consists of:

All persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired the publicly-traded American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), evidenced by American Depositary Receipts, of GSX from June 6, 2019 through October 20, 2020, inclusive (including those who purchased ADSs in or traceable to GSX’s initial public offering on or about June 6, 2019, or GSX’s secondary public offering on or about November 20, 2019), and were damaged thereby.

If one of your mutual funds owns GSX Securities, that alone does not make you a Settlement Class Member.  Also, if you sold GSX Securities during the Class Period, that alone does not make you a Settlement Class Member. You are a Settlement Class Member only if you directly purchased or otherwise acquired GSX Securities during the Class Period.

Excluded from the Settlement Class are (i) Defendants; (ii) members of the Immediate Families of the Individual Defendants and the directors and officers of GSX; (iii) any person who was an officer or director of GSX during the Class Period; (iv) any firm, trust, corporation, or other entity in which any Defendant has or had a controlling interest; (v) the Company’s employee retirement and benefit plan(s), if any, and their participants or beneficiaries; (vi) the legal representatives, affiliates, subsidiaries, parents, heirs, heirs apparent, beneficiaries, successors-in-interest, or assigns of any such excluded person or entity in (i)-(v), in their respective capacity as such; (vii) Judge Michael E. Farbiarz, Judge Esther Salas, Magistrate Judge Jose R. Almonte, and their current or former chambers staff, and any of their family members; and (viii) any persons or entities who or which exclude themselves by submitting a timely and valid request for exclusion that is accepted by the Court.

Payments to eligible claimants will be made after the completion of all claims processing. Please be patient, as this process will take some time to complete.
