The company said it may repurchase up to approximately $300 million of its American depositary shares, each representing 20 Class A ordinary shares and ordinary shares, through March 12, 2025.

Upon review of the results of operations, business development plan, capital requirements, and cash position, the company said its Board is confident in its business performance and outlook.
