On or around January 17, 2020 , Lizhi conducted its initial public offering ("IPO"), selling more than $4.1 million American depositary shares ("ADSs") priced at $11.00 per ADS. On March 12, 2020 , Lizhi filed a report on Form 6-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), admitting that the Company had already been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, stating, in relevant part, that the "COVID-19 outbreak has caused, and may continue to cause, companies in China , including [Lizhi], to implement temporary adjustment of work schemes allowing employees to work from home" and that "[t]he extent to which COVID-19 impacts our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain or treat its impact, among others." Two months later, on April 20, 2020 , in its Annual Report filed with the SEC, Lizhi further admitted that even before the IPO, indeed as early as "late 2019," the COVID-19 pandemic was already negatively impacting its business.
Since the IPO, Lizhi's ADSs have traded as low as $1.96 per ADS, representing a decline of more than 82% from the offering price.
