Jianzhi Education Technology Group Company Limited (“Jianzhi Education” or the “Company”) is a Cayman Islands holding company primarily operating in China through its subsidiaries and contractual arrangements with variable interest entities (the “VIEs”), namely Beijing Sentu Technology Co., Ltd., a limited liability company established under PRC law (“Beijing Sentu” or the “VIE Entity”), and its subsidiaries. The VIEs are consolidated for accounting purpose only and Jianzhi Education does not own any equity interest in the VIEs. Jianzhi Education is not a Chinese operating company and does not conduct operations directly. PRC laws, regulations, and rules restrict and impose conditions on direct foreign investment in certain types of business, including radio and television program production and operation business and value-added telecommunication business, and we therefore operate these businesses in China through the VIE structure which provides investors with exposure to foreign investment in the Chinese operating companies where Chinese law prohibits us from direct foreign investment in the operating companies. For a summary of these contractual arrangements, see “Corporate History and Structure — Contractual Arrangements with Beijing Sentu and Its Shareholders.” Investors are purchasing equity interests in Jianzhi Education, the Cayman Islands holding company, and are not purchasing, and may never directly hold, equity interests in the VIEs. As used in this prospectus, “we”, “us”, or “our” refers to Jianzhi Education and its subsidiaries.

Our corporate structure is subject to risks relating to our contractual arrangements with Beijing Sentu and its shareholders. Such contractual arrangements have not been tested in any of the PRC courts. There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of current and future PRC laws, regulations, and rules relating to these contractual arrangements. If the PRC government finds these contractual arrangements non-compliant with the restrictions on direct foreign investment in the relevant industries, or if the relevant PRC laws, regulations, and rules or the interpretation thereof change in the future, we could be subject to severe penalties or be forced to relinquish our interests in the VIEs or forfeit our rights under the contractual arrangements. Jianzhi Education and investors in the ADSs face uncertainty about potential future actions by the PRC government, which could affect the enforceability of our contractual arrangements with Beijing Sentu and, consequently, significantly affect the financial condition and results of operations of Jianzhi Education. If we are unable to claim our right to control the assets of the VIEs, the ADSs may decline in value or become worthless. The PRC government could even disallow the VIE structure completely, which would likely result in a material adverse change in our operations and the ADSs may significantly decline in value or become worthless. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Corporate Structure.”

We face various legal and operational risks and uncertainties relating to doing business in China. We operate our business primarily in China, and are subject to complex and evolving PRC laws and regulations. Recently, the PRC government has indicated an intent to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers, and initiated a series of regulatory actions and made a number of public statements, some of which are published with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over China-based companies listed overseas using a variable interest entity structure, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. Given that (i) relevant rules regarding variable interest entity structure were released for comments and have not come into effect and (ii) we and the VIEs do not possess a large amount of personal information, and data processed in our and the VIEs’ business do not have a bearing on national security and thus may not be classified as core or important data by the authorities, as advised by Commerce & Finance Law Offices, our counsel as to PRC law, as of the date of this prospectus, in connection with this offering, under current PRC laws, regulations and rules, we, our PRC subsidiaries, and our VIEs, (i) are not required by the Cyberspace Administration of China (the “CAC”) to go through cybersecurity review, and (ii) are not required to submit applications for the approval of the China Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”). Because these statements and regulatory actions are new, it is highly uncertain how soon legislative or administrative regulation making bodies in China will respond to them, or what existing or new laws or regulations will be modified or promulgated, if any, or the potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on our daily business operations or our ability to accept foreign investments and list on an U.S. exchange. We cannot assure you that the regulators in China hold the same position with us. For risks relating to the oversight of the CAC and approval of the CSRC and other PRC government authorities, please refer to “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — It is unclear whether we and the VIEs will be subject to the oversight of the CAC and how such oversight may impact us. Our and the VIEs’ business could be interrupted or we and the VIEs could be subject to liabilities which may materially and adversely affect the results of our and the VIEs’ operation and the value of your investment” and “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Although we believe the approval of the CSRC or other equivalent PRC government authorities is not required in connection with this offering under current PRC laws, regulations and rules, we cannot assure you that the regulators in China hold the same position with us or will not adopt new laws, regulations and rules or detailed implementations and interpretations or will not subsequently require us to undergo the approval procedures and subject us

to sanctions. Any action by the PRC government to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and foreign investment in China-based issuers could result in a material change in our operation, cause the value of our ordinary shares to significantly decline or become worthless, and significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our ordinary shares to investors.” Uncertainties in the PRC legal system and the interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws and regulations could limit the legal protection available to you and us, hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer the ADSs, result in a material adverse effect on our business operations, and damage our reputation, which might further cause the ADSs to significantly decline in value or become worthless.

Our auditor, Friedman LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm headquartered in the United States, was not included in the determinations made by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), or the PCAOB, on December 16, 2021. Our auditor is currently subject to PCAOB inspections and has been inspected by the PCAOB on a regular basis. The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, or the HFCA Act, was enacted on December 18, 2020. In accordance with the HFCA Act, trading in our ADSs on a national securities exchange or in the over the counter trading market in the United States may be prohibited if the PCAOB determines that it cannot inspect or fully investigate our auditor for three consecutive years beginning in 2021, and, as a result, an exchange may determine to delist our ADSs. On June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, which, if enacted, would reduce the number of consecutive non-inspection years required for triggering the prohibitions under the HFCA Act from three years to two. On February 4, 2022, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill, which contained, among other things, an identical provision. If this provision is enacted into law and the number of consecutive non-inspection years required for triggering the prohibitions under the HFCAA is reduced from three years to two, then the ADSs could be prohibited from trading in the United States as early as 2024. Although we believe that the HFCA Act and the related regulations do not currently affect us, we cannot assure you that there will not be any further implementations and interpretations of the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act or the related regulations, which might pose regulatory risks to and impose restrictions on us because of our operations in mainland China. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China.”

Cash is transferred among the Company, our WFOE, and the VIE Entity, in the following manners: (i) funds are transferred to Jianzhi Beijing, our WFOE, from the Company as needed through our BVI and/or Hong Kong subsidiaries in the form of capital contributions or shareholder loans, as the case may be; (ii) funds may be paid by Beijing Sentu, the VIE Entity, to Jianzhi Beijing, our WFOE, as service fees according to the VIE agreements; (iii) dividends or other distributions may be paid by Jianzhi Beijing, our WFOE, to the Company through our Hong Kong and BVI subsidiaries; and (iv) Jianzhi Beijing, our WFOE, and Beijing Sentu, the VIE Entity, lend to and borrow from each other from time to time for business operation purpose. See “Corporate History and Structure — Restrictions on Foreign Exchange and the Ability to Transfer Cash Between Entities, Across Borders and to U.S. Investors.” For the year ended December 31, 2018, Jianzhi Beijing, our WFOE, provided a loan of RMB37.0 million to Beijing Sentu, the VIE Entity. For the year ended December 31, 2019, Jianzhi Beijing, our WFOE, provided a loan of RMB24.4 million to Beijing Sentu, the VIE Entity (the “2019 Loan”). For the year ended December 31, 2020, Beijing Sentu, the VIE Entity, paid off the 2019 Loan and provided a loan of RMB13.7 million to Jianzhi Beijing, our WFOE. For the year ended December 31, 2021, Beijing Sentu, the VIE Entity, provided another loan of RMB52.4 million (US$8.2 million) to Jianzhi Beijing, our WFOE. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, Beijing Sentu, the VIE Entity, provided loans totalling RMB15.8 million (US$2.5 million) to Jianzhi Beijing, our WFOE, and one of its subsidiaries, meanwhile Beijing Sentu, the VIE Entity, received repayments from Jianzhi Beijing, our WFOE, and one of its subsidiaries in the amount of RMB14.1 million (US$2.2 million). Such loans were for business operation purposes and were recorded under “net cash provided by (used in) financing activities” in the VIE Consolidation Schedule. See “Summary Consolidated Financial Data — VIE Consolidation Schedule.” From April 1, 2022 to date, Beijing Sentu, the VIE Entity, received repayments of loans from Jianzhi Beijing, our WFOE, in the amount of RMB6.0 million (US$0.9 million), and provided a new loan in amount of RMB1.6 million (US$0.3 million) to them. We have no plan to distribute earnings or settle amounts owed under the VIE agreements. As of the date of this prospectus, there were no cash flows between the Company and Jianzhi Beijing, our WFOE, and the Company and Beijing Sentu, the VIE Entity, haven’t paid any dividends or made any distributions to their respective shareholders either. For more details, see “Corporate History and Structure — Assets Transfer between VIEs and Other Consolidated Entities” and “Corporate History and Structure — Dividends or Distributions Made to the Company and U.S. Investors and Tax Consequences.” We currently have not maintained any cash management policies that dictate the purpose, amount and procedure of cash transfers between the Company, our WFOE, the VIE Entity, or investors. Rather, the funds can be transferred in accordance with the applicable PRC laws and regulations. For more details, see “Summary — Restrictions on Foreign Exchange and the Ability to Transfer Cash Between Entities, Across Borders and to U.S. Investors.”

To the extent our cash in the business is in the PRC or a PRC entity, the funds may not be available to distribute dividends to our investors, or for other use outside of the PRC, due to interventions in or the imposition of restrictions and limitations on the ability of us, our subsidiaries, or the VIEs by the PRC government to transfer cash. The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of Renminbi into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of China. Our cash dividends, if any, will be paid in U.S. dollars. As a consequence, we might not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to our shareholders. If we are considered a PRC tax resident enterprise for tax purposes, any dividends we pay to our overseas shareholders may be regarded as China-sourced income and as a result may be subject to PRC withholding tax. In addition, relevant PRC laws and regulations permit the PRC companies to pay dividends only out of their retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. The Company’s PRC subsidiaries may pay dividends only out of their accumulated after-tax profits upon satisfaction of relevant statutory conditions and procedures, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations; each of the PRC subsidiaries is required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund certain reserve funds until the total amount set aside reaches 50% of its registered capital. Additionally, the Company’s PRC subsidiaries and the VIEs can only distribute dividends upon approval of the shareholders after they have met the PRC requirements for appropriation to the statutory reserves. Such laws and regulations would limit our ability to transfer cash between the Company, our WFOE, the VIE Entity, or investors. See “Summary — Restrictions on Foreign Exchange and the Ability to Transfer Cash Between Entities, Across Borders and to U.S. Investors”, “Risk Factors - Risks Related to Doing Business in China — PRC governmental control on the convertibility of Renminbi may affect the value of your investment, and — Risks Related to the ADSs and This Offering — If we are classified as a PRC resident enterprise for PRC income tax purposes, such classification could result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC shareholders or ADS holders,” and “Regulations — Regulations on Dividend Distribution.”

Overview

Since being established, we, together with the VIEs, have been committed to developing educational content to fulfill the massive demand for high-quality, professional development training resources in China.

We, together with the VIEs, started operations by providing educational content products and IT services to higher education institutions. After the initial growth period, our and the VIEs’ products and brand have gained increasing recognition and acceptance by both higher education institutions and the general public. We, together with the VIEs, then initiated end-user business and started providing products to individual customers, and acquired companies in Shanghai and Guangzhou to facilitate further expansion in the end-user market. Today, we and the VIEs are a leading provider of digital educational content in China. According to the Frost & Sullivan Report, we and the VIEs were the seventh largest digital content provider for higher education in China in terms of the revenue derived from providing digital contents for higher education institutions in 2021, with revenues of RMB33.0 million representing a 1.1% market share. Leveraging our and the VIEs’ deep understanding into and rich experience in professional development training, as well as our and the VIEs’ strong curriculum development capabilities, we and the VIEs became the largest online career training services provider for higher education institutions in China in terms of revenue in 2021, with RMB32.6 million representing a market share of 66.4%, according to the Frost & Sullivan Report.

Since the beginning of 2019, the PRC Ministry of Education has issued a series of favorable policies to encourage talent development, aiming to consolidate high-quality online education resources, emphasize construction of innovative, comprehensive, and application-oriented curricula, and carry out extensive training in employability skills and employment and entrepreneurship training. At the same time, China’s online education market has maintained rapid growth in recent years. Moreover, with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the Ministry of Education has promulgated policies to clearly encourage schools and educational institutions at various levels to conduct online teaching, which further promoted digital education and rapidly increased the penetration rate of online education. As such, the migration from offline education to online education has become a clear trend in China’s education industry. We and the VIEs have seized these market opportunities and established long-term and strategic business relationships with China’s leading telecommunications operators. We and the VIEs have leveraged the advantages of us and VIEs in vocational education and successfully established a synergistic and dynamic business system with educational content services as our and the VIEs’ backbone.

Leveraging our and the VIEs’ strong capabilities in developing proprietary professional development training content and success in consolidating educational content resources within the industry, we and the VIEs have successfully built up a comprehensive, multi-dimensional digital educational content database. As of December 31, 2021, our and the VIEs’ educational content library consisted of more than 30,000 online videos and video courses totaling approximately 6,100 hours, of which more than 76.8% were self-developed. Our and the VIEs’ educational content database offers a wide range of professional development products, including employability skills and entrepreneurship guidance courses, professional skills training courses, skill improvement courses and professional certification quiz banks. We and the VIEs embed proprietary digital education content into the self-developed online learning platforms, which are provided to a wide range of customers through our and the VIEs’ omni-channel sales system.

The VIEs offer products and services under two primary business models:

• B2B2C Model

• The VIEs sell subscriptions to proprietary online learning platforms, such as Sentu Academy, to higher education institutions and other academic institutions. The VIEs charge these institutional customers an upfront annual service fee. These subscriptions allow institutions to grant their students access to the VIEs’ digital educational content database through their respective local campus networks free of charge. As of December 31, 2021, the VIEs offered online learning platform services to approximately 2,000 higher education institutions in China.

Table of Contents

• The VIEs also license to institutional customers, primarily public libraries and video websites, specific content from Sentu Academy chosen by them. These customers pay one-time licensing fees to access content without owning the copyrights, including downloading and storing such content locally. As of December 31, 2020, the VIEs provided services to 3 provincial libraries, 11 city libraries and 1 county library. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the VIEs further developed 2 provincial libraries, 6 city libraries and 1 county library as new library customers.

• B2C Model

• The VIEs select employability skills and workplace etiquette related content from the educational content database of Sentu Academy, totaling 85.3 hours, and package them as the “Fish Learning” education database. The VIEs cooperate with Tianyi Video, a subsidiary of China Telecommunications Corporation, or China Telecom, and make the Fish Learning database available to individual customers through Tianyi Video’s platform. Individual customers can subscribe for monthly access to this content. The VIEs share revenue from this arrangement with Tianyi Video by being entitled to receive a percentage of the monthly subscription fee paid by mobile users pursuant to the cooperative agreements with Tianyi Video and based on the settlement bills issued by Tianyi Video.

• The VIEs cooperate with Telefen, a subsidiary of China Telecom, and provide a special mobile video package to China Telecom’s mobile users. The special mobile video package comprises six products related to artificial intelligence and big data, in total of approximately 22 hours as of December 31, 2021. China Telecom’s mobile users can redeem their reward points for permanent access to the video courses contained in the package.

• The VIEs compiled video content on entrepreneurship, workplace and IT training from Sentu Academy’s education content database into three Light Class products. The VIEs cooperate with China United Network Communications Group Company Limited, or China Unicom, to offer such Light Class products to their mobile users. The VIEs share revenue from this arrangement with China Unicom by being entitled to receive a percentage of the monthly subscription fee paid by mobile users pursuant to the cooperative agreements with China Unicom and based on the settlement bills issued by China Unicom.

• The VIEs also offer the Light Class products through WeChat. As of December 31, 2021, we have launched 10 products through WeChat, such as Light Class selected courses monthly subscriptions, Light Class workplace VIP monthly subscriptions and Light Class quarterly subscriptions.

Table of Contents

We are also fully committed to the digitalization and informatization of the education sector in China. Since 2015, we have developed a number of software applications to provide software or customized intelligent solutions tailored to meet the specific needs of educational institutions and other institutional customers. Our major IT solution services included providing (i) design and development of customized IT system service, (ii) procurement and assembling of equipment, and (iii) technological support and maintenance service. We and the VIEs maintain a strong and efficient team for research and development of educational content and software. As of December 31, 2021, our and the VIEs’ R&D team included 51 employees, and we and the VIEs owned 154 proprietary software copyrights. The software used in providing design and development of customized IT systems mainly include: Sentu Desktop Virtualization Software and Sentu Online Learning Software. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, revenue derived from IT related solution services accounted for 23.6% and 22.9%, respectively, of our and the VIEs’ total revenue.

We and the VIEs have also been actively exploring new monetization strategies. In 2016, the VIEs began to provide mobile media services. Leveraging the huge user base in the education sector that we and the VIEs have accumulated, we and the VIEs provide advertising services to third-party customers by placing advertisements in the VIEs’ mobile applications or including advertisements in the VIEs’ mobile videos. In addition, the VIEs help market monthly data plans by China Unicom to their mobile users. The VIEs also operate and maintain Wo Reading, a WeChat subscription account of China Unicom.

The revenue from us and the VIEs grew from RMB404.9 million in 2020 to RMB473.2 million (US$74.3 million) in 2021. The net income from us and the VIEs decreased from RMB86.9 million in 2020 to RMB52.9 million (US$8.3 million) in 2021.

The VIEs and China Operations

Jianzhi Education is a Cayman Islands holding company and does not conduct operations directly. The operations in China are conducted through (i) Jianzhi Education’s PRC subsidiaries, including Jianzhi Beijing (the “WFOE”) and its subsidiaries, in which we hold equity ownership interests, and (ii) variable interest entities, namely Beijing Sentu and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “VIEs”). The VIEs are consolidated for accounting purpose only and we do not own any equity interest in the VIEs. Investors are purchasing equity interests in Jianzhi Education, the Cayman holding company, and are not purchasing, and may never directly hold, equity interests in the VIEs. In June 2018, our WFOE entered into a series of contractual arrangements with Beijing Sentu, the VIE Entity, and its shareholders. These agreements or their forms are filed

Table of Contents

as exhibits to the registration statement on Form F-1 of which this prospectus is a part and include: (i) an exclusive business cooperation agreement (the “Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement”), which enables us to receive substantially all of the economic benefits of Beijing Sentu. Pursuant to the Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement, Beijing Sentu is obliged to pay service fee to Jianzhi Beijing for the exclusive services such as technical services, Internet support, business consulting, marketing consulting, system integration, product development and system maintenance. The service fee shall consist of 100% of the profit before tax of Beijing Sentu, after the deduction of all costs, expenses, taxes and other fee required under PRC laws and regulations. Beijing Sentu agrees not to accept the same or any similar services provided by any third party and shall not establish cooperation relationships similar to that formed by the Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement with any third party, except with the prior written consent of Jianzhi Beijing. Beijing Sentu has unconditionally and irrevocably authorized Jianzhi Beijing or its designated person as its agent to (a) sign any necessary documents with third parties (including but not limited to customers and suppliers) on behalf of Beijing Sentu; and (b) to handle all necessary documents and matters which will enable Jianzhi Beijing to exercise all or part of its rights under the Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement on behalf of Beijing Sentu. And Jianzhi Beijing shall have exclusive proprietary rights to and interests in any and all intellectual property rights developed or created by itself and Beijing Sentu; (ii) a voting rights proxy agreement (the “Voting Rights Proxy Agreement”) and an equity pledge agreement (the “Equity Pledge Agreement”), which provide us with control over Beijing Sentu. Pursuant to the Voting Rights Proxy Agreement, each of the Registered Shareholders, unconditionally and irrevocably appoints Jianzhi Beijing, the authorized director and successor of Jianzhi Beijing or any liquidator replacing the director of Jianzhi Beijing (but excluding those who are shareholders of Beijing Sentu or who may give rise to conflict of interests) to exercise such shareholder’s rights in Beijing Sentu in accordance with PRC laws and the articles of Beijing Sentu. Pursuant to the Equity Pledge Agreement, each of the Registered Shareholders unconditionally and irrevocably pledged and granted first priority security interests over all of his/her/its equity interests in Beijing Sentu together with all related rights thereto to Jianzhi Beijing as security for performance of the Contractual Arrangements and all direct, indirect or consequential damages and foreseeable loss of interest incurred by Jianzhi Beijing as a result of any event of default on the part of the Registered Shareholders, Beijing Sentu and all expenses incurred by Jianzhi Beijing as a result of enforcement of the obligations of the Registered Shareholders and/or Beijing Sentu under the Contractual Arrangements; and (iii) an exclusive option agreement (the “Exclusive Call Option Agreement”), which provides us with the option to purchase all of the equity interests in Beijing Sentu. Pursuant to the Exclusive Call Option Agreement, the Registered Shareholders have unconditionally and irrevocably granted Jianzhi Beijing or its designated purchaser the right to purchase all or part of their equity interests in Beijing Sentu (the “Equity Call Option”). The purchase price payable by Jianzhi Beijing in respect of the transfer of equity interests upon exercise of the Equity Call Option shall be the higher of (a) the lowest price permitted under PRC laws and regulations or (b) the capital contribution in relation to the equity interests. For a detailed discussion of such contractual arrangements, please refer to ““Corporate History and Structure — Corporate Structure — Contractual Arrangements with Beijing Sentu and Its Shareholders.” We exercise control over Beijing Sentu and its subsidiaries and become the primary beneficiary of Beijing Sentu and its subsidiaries for accounting purposes through such Contractual Arrangements, which are less effective than direct ownership. Our control over Beijing Sentu and its subsidiaries and our position of being the primary beneficiary of Beijing Sentu and its subsidiaries for the accounting purposes are limited to the conditions that we met for consolidation of Beijing Sentu and its subsidiaries under U.S. GAAP. Such conditions include that (i) we control Beijing Sentu through power to govern the activities which most significantly impact Beijing Sentu’s economic performance, (ii) we are contractually obligated to absorb losses of Beijing Sentu that could potentially be significant to Beijing Sentu, and (iii) we are entitled to receive benefits from Beijing Sentu that could potentially be significant to Beijing Sentu. Only if we meet the aforementioned conditions for consolidation of Beijing Sentu and its subsidiaries under U.S. GAAP, we will be deemed as the primary beneficiary of Beijing Sentu and its subsidiaries, and Beijing Sentu and its subsidiaries will be treated as our consolidated affiliated entities for accounting purposes. We could face heightened risks and substantial costs in enforcing these contractual arrangements, because, although the aforementioned Contractual Arrangements have been widely adopted by PRC companies seeking for listing aboard, such arrangements have not been tested in any of the PRC courts. In addition, there are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of current and future PRC laws, regulations, and rules relating to these contractual arrangements. If the PRC government finds such agreements non-compliant with relevant PRC laws, regulations, and rules, or if these laws, regulations, and rules or the interpretation thereof change in the future, we could be subject to severe penalties or be forced to relinquish our interests in Beijing Sentu or forfeit our rights under the contractual arrangements, which could cause the value of our ADSs to significantly decline or become worthless. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Corporate Structure.”

operators that intend to purchase Internet products and services and online platform operators engaging in data processing activities that affect or may affect national security must be subject to cybersecurity review. The Measures further stipulate that if an online platform operator possesses the personal information of more than one million users and intends to list in a foreign country, it shall proactively apply to the Office of Cybersecurity Review for cybersecurity review. However, regulatory requirements on cybersecurity and data security in the PRC are constantly evolving and can be subject to varying interpretations or significant changes, which may result in uncertainties about the scope of our responsibilities in that regard.

Commerce & Finance Law Offices, our counsel as to PRC law, have advised us that, if any of the following circumstance exists, we and the VIEs shall apply with the CAC for cybersecurity review with respect to this offering: (i) we and the VIEs possess over one million individuals’ personal information; (ii) we are deemed as critical information infrastructure and intend to purchase internet products and services that will or may affect national security, and (iii) we and the VIEs carry out any data processing activities which has affected or may affect national security.

However, they have further advised us that there remains uncertainty as to how the Measures will be interpreted or implemented and whether the PRC regulatory agencies, including the CAC, may adopt new laws, regulations, rules, or detailed implementation and interpretation related to the Measures and there is no assurance that PRC regulatory agencies, including the CAC, would take the same view as they do. If any such new laws, regulations, rules, or implementation and interpretation comes into effect, we and the VIEs will take all reasonable measures and actions to comply and to minimize the adverse effect of such laws on us. However, we cannot assure you that we and the VIEs can fully or timely comply with such laws. In the event that we and the VIEs are subject to any mandatory cybersecurity review and other specific actions required by the CAC, we and the VIEs face uncertainty as to whether any clearance or other required actions can be timely completed, or at all. Given such uncertainty, we and the VIEs may be further required to suspend our and the VIEs’ relevant business, shut down our and the VIEs’ website, or face other penalties, which could materially and adversely affect our and the VIEs’ business, financial condition, and results of operations, and/or the value of our ADSs or could significantly limit or completely hinder our and the VIEs’ ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors. In addition, if any of these events causes us unable to direct the activities of the VIEs or lose the right to receive their economic benefits, we and the VIEs’ may not be able to consolidate the VIEs into our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which could cause the value of our ADSs to significantly decline or become worthless.

On December 24, 2021, the CSRC issued Provisions of the State Council on the Management of the Overseas Listing and Issuance of Domestic Enterprises (Draft for Comments) and Administrative Measures on the Management of the Overseas Listing and Issuance of Domestic Enterprises (Draft for Comments) (collectively, the “Draft Overseas Listing Rules”) for public consultations, according to which, any direct or indirect offshore listing of domestic enterprises shall be filed with the CSRC. On December 27, 2021, the NDRC and MOFCOM issued the Special Administrative Measures for Access of Foreign Investment (Negative List) (2021 Edition) (the “Negative List 2021”), which came into effect on January 1, 2022. According to Negative List 2021, PRC entities which engage in any field forbidden by the Negative List 2021 for access of foreign investment shall be approved by competent PRC authorities when they seek listing offshore, and foreign investors shall not participate in operation and management and their shareholding ratio shall be in compliance with PRC laws.

As advised by Commerce & Finance Law Offices, considering that (i) Draft Overseas Listing Rules are released for comments and have not come into effect; (ii) no explicit provisions under currently effective PRC laws, regulations and rules clearly classifies indirect listing through contractual arrangements like ours are required to obtain approvals from PRC authorities, we and the VIEs are not required to submit applications for the approval of the CSRC or other equivalent PRC government authorities according to currently effective PRC laws, regulations and rules at this stage. However, as the Draft Overseas Listing Rules have not been formally adopted and the Negative List 2021 was newly published, and due to the lack of further clarifications or detailed rules and regulations, Commerce & Finance Law Offices, our counsel as to PRC law, have further advised us that, there are still uncertainties as to how the aforementioned rules will be interpreted or implemented and whether the PRC regulatory agencies may adopt new laws, regulations, rules, or detailed implementation and interpretation and there is no assurance that PRC regulatory agencies, including the CSRC, would take the same view

Industry Overview

Online vocational education refers to online courses provided to students to improve their professional skills in workplace or prepare them for employment or vocation-related exams. Target students of online vocational education are mainly college students, fresh graduates from higher education institutions or working professionals.

Vocational education is an important component of the education system in China. Higher education institutions have placed increasing emphasis on providing students with practical training and equipping them with practical skills. The academic curricula in the current higher education system in China are comprehensive but less practical, resulting in graduates experiencing difficulties in applying what they have learned at schools into workplaces directly.

Vocational education includes two segments, namely vocational certification education and vocational development education. By taking vocational courses, users seek to obtain and maintain professional certifications or to enhance their workplace skills. The online vocational education market grew from RMB43.6 billion in 2017 to RMB91.0 billion in 2021, at a CAGR of 20.2%, is expected to reach RMB212.2 billion in 2026, representing a CAGR of 18.5% from 2021 to 2026, according to the Frost & Sullivan Report.

Market Trends

Growing penetration rate: As job-seeking market becomes increasingly competitive, candidates are under pressure to distinguish themselves from others. Therefore, more candidates are expected to participate in vocational education. The better performance of those who have taken the training courses will help attract more participants to take part in training in the future.

Increasing preparation time: The difficulty of recruitment and vocational exams forces candidates to devote more efforts to their preparation. With the growing penetration rate of vocational training and education, candidates may find it insufficient to take short courses, and prefer to commit to longer courses to enhance their performance in exams. Increasing preparation time leads to higher spending on the vocational education.

Fierce competition: The number of graduates from higher education institutions is growing every year in China, increasing the difficulty of job prospects for all candidates. This fierce competition among peers has driven the growth of vocational education. More candidates are aware of the necessity of taking vocational education and are willing to expend time and money to enhance their performance.

Entry Barriers

Brand Awareness: The vocational education market has entered the era of brand competition. From the historical development of China’s vocational education market, institutions that maintained sustainable growth are the ones with a good brand image. Branding has become one of the most important competition strategies for vocational education institutions. It takes time to establish a positive brand image in the minds of customers and takes even more time to test the effect of the brand building. As a result, it is difficult for new entrants to set up their own brand with strong competitiveness within a short period.

Teacher Resources: Against the rapid growth of vocational education market, the demands for high-quality teachers have been increasing while the premium teacher resources are becoming scarce. Leading players in the vocational education sector usually maintain a pool of high-quality teachers and tutors and some of them established their own training system for teachers. New entrants face difficulties of recruiting and retaining a sufficient number of high-quality teachers.

Large-scale Operation: Labor demands in different industries vary over time and could be subject to seasonality. Many small players can hardly bear the cost of rents and salary of teachers. They may hire part-time teachers, which may lead to the deterioration of education quality and the damage to brand. Large-scale operation can leverage the economy of scale to optimize the cost through different professional training programs.

Capital Requirement: It is necessary to invest large capital to develop products, cultivate talents, improve brand images and set up branches in cities at all levels for achieving the scale development and maintain a market position. Although individuals are able to offer online courses in specific areas of expertise without significant overhead expenses by leveraging online platforms, individual online education providers only account for a small portion of the online education market and courses offered by online education companies are the main stream in the market. For companies intending to enter the online education market, it would incur significant expenses in daily operation,

staff recruitment, educational content research and development, procurement of network bandwidth and sales and marketing. The capital requirement in the vocational education sector could limit the recruitment of high-quality teachers, updates of courses and expansion of market, and become a barrier for new entrants.

Summary Risk Factors

Investing in the ADSs involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties summarized below, the risks described under the “Risk Factors” section and the other information contained in this prospectus, before you decide whether to purchase the ADSs.

We and the VIEs face risks and uncertainties in realizing business objectives and executing strategies, including:

• We and the VIEs face intense competition within each of the business segments, which may affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of us and the VIEs. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Business and Industry of Us and the VIEs — We and the VIEs face intense competition within each of the business segments. If we and the VIEs are unable to compete effectively, we and the VIEs could face pricing pressure and loss of market share, the revenue and gross profit may be significantly reduced, which may materially and adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of us and the VIEs”;

• Our and the VIEs’ historical financial and operating results may not be indicative of the future performance and our and the VIEs’ financial and operating results may be difficult to forecast. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Business and Industry of Us and the VIEs — Our and the VIEs’ historical financial and operating results may not be indicative of the future performance and our and the VIEs’ financial and operating results may be difficult to forecast”;

• We and the VIEs are subject to risks in connection with customer base. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Business and Industry of Us and the VIEs — If we and the VIEs are unable to retain existing customers and/or expand the customer base, we and the VIEs may not be able to maintain growth and our and the VIEs’ revenue may decline, which may materially and adversely affect our and the VIEs’ business, financial condition and results of operations”;

• The VIEs are subject to the risks in connection with educational content offerings — If the VIEs are unable to timely improve or expand the VIEs’ educational content offerings in a cost-effective manner to make them appealing to existing and prospective customers, the business, financial condition and results of operations of us and the VIEs may be materially and adversely affected”;

• We and the VIEs are subject to risks associated with brand recognition and market reputation. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Business and Industry of Us and the VIEs — The business of us and the VIEs is heavily dependent on the brand recognition and market reputation of us and the VIEs”;

• We and the VIEs have recorded thin gross profit margins for some of the products. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Business and Industry of Us and the VIEs — We and the VIEs have recorded thin gross profit margins for some of the products”;

• Our and the VIEs’ business relies heavily on a limited number of promotion companies. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Business and Industry of Us and the VIEs — Our and the VIEs’ business relies heavily on a limited number of promotion companies”;

• We and the VIEs are subject to credit risk. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Business and Industry of Us and the VIEs — We and the VIEs are subject to credit risk in collecting trade receivables due from our and the VIEs’ customers”;

• We and the VIEs are subject to goodwill impairment risks. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Business and Industry of Us and the VIEs — Goodwill impairment could negatively affect our and the VIEs’ results of operations”;

• Jianzhi Education is a Cayman Islands holding company primarily operating in China through its subsidiaries and contractual arrangements with Beijing Sentu. Investors in the ADSs thus are not purchasing, and may never directly hold, equity interests in the VIEs. There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of current and future PRC laws, regulations, and rules relating to such agreements that establish the VIE structure for the majority of our and the VIEs’ operations in China. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Corporate Structure — Jianzhi Education is a Cayman Islands holding company primarily operating in China through its subsidiaries and contractual arrangements with Beijing Sentu. Investors in the ADSs thus are not purchasing, and may never directly hold, equity interests in the VIEs. There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of current and future PRC laws, regulations, and rules relating to such agreements that establish the VIE structure for the majority of our and the VIEs’ operations in China, including potential future actions by the PRC government, which could affect the enforceability of our contractual arrangements with Beijing Sentu and, consequently, significantly affect the financial condition and results of operations of Jianzhi Education. If the PRC government finds such agreements non-compliant with relevant PRC laws, regulations, and rules, or if these laws, regulations, and rules or the interpretation thereof change in the future, we could be subject to severe penalties or be forced to relinquish our interests in Beijing Sentu or forfeit our rights under the contractual arrangements”;

• Our contractual arrangements with Beijing Sentu and its shareholders may not be as effective in providing operational control as direct ownership, and Beijing Sentu’s shareholders may fail to perform their obligations under the contractual arrangements. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Corporate Structure — We rely on contractual arrangements with Beijing Sentu and its shareholders for our operations in China, which may not be as effective in providing operational control as direct ownership, and Beijing Sentu’s shareholders may fail to perform their obligations under the contractual arrangements”;

• Shareholders of Beijing Sentu may have conflicts of interest with us. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Corporate Structure — The shareholders of Rongde Times and Beijing Zhongsi and individual shareholders of Beijing Sentu may have conflicts of interest with us, which may materially and adversely affect our and the VIEs’ business”;

• The PRC government has significant authority to exert influence on the China operations of an offshore holding company. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Corporate Structure — The PRC government has significant authority to exert influence on the China operations of an offshore holding company, such as us.

Table of Contents

Therefore, investors in the ADSs and the business of us and the VIEs face potential uncertainty from the PRC government’s policy. Changes in China’s economic, political or social conditions, or government policies could materially and adversely affect our and the VIEs’ business, financial condition, and results of operations”;

• There are uncertainties in the PRC legal system. Some rules and regulations in China might change quickly with little advance notice. The interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws and regulations could limit the legal protections available to you and us. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Corporate Structure — Uncertainties in the PRC legal system and the interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws and regulations could limit the legal protections available to you and us, significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our ADSs, cause significant disruption to our and the VIEs’ business operations, and severely damage our and the VIEs’ reputation, which would materially and adversely affect our and the VIEs’ financial condition and results of operations and cause our ADSs to significantly decline in value or become worthless;

• We are subject to risks relating to approvals of PRC government authorities in connection with this offering. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Corporate Structure — Although we believe the approval of the CSRC or other equivalent PRC government authorities is not required in connection with this offering under current PRC laws, regulations and rules, we cannot assure you that the regulators in China hold the same position with us or will not adopt new laws, regulations and rules or detailed implementations and interpretations or will not subsequently require us to undergo the approval procedures and subject us to sanctions. Any action by the PRC government to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and foreign investment in China-based issuers could result in a material change in our operation, cause the value of our ordinary shares to significantly decline or become worthless, and significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our ordinary shares to investors.”; and

• Our auditor, Friedman LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm headquartered in the United States, was not included in the determinations made by the PCAOB, on December 16, 2021. Our auditor is currently subject to PCAOB inspections and has been inspected by the PCAOB on a regular basis. Although we believe that the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act and the related regulations do not currently affect us, we cannot assure you that there will not be any further implementations and interpretations of the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act or the related regulations, which might pose regulatory risks to and impose restrictions on us because of our operations in mainland China. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, or the HFCA Act, and the related regulations are evolving quickly. Further implementations and interpretations of or amendments to the HFCA Act or the related regulations, or a PCOAB’s determination of its lack of sufficient access to inspect or investigate our auditor, might pose regulatory risks to and impose restrictions on us because of our operations in mainland China. A potential consequence is that our ADSs are delisted by the exchange. The delisting of our ADSs, or the threat of our ADSs being delisted, may materially and adversely affect the value of your investment. Additionally, the inability of the PCAOB to conduct full inspections of our auditor deprives our investors of the benefits of such inspections.”

Corporate History and Structure

In May 2011, Beijing Sentu Huarui Education Technology Co., Ltd., or Sentu Huarui, the predecessor company of Beijing Sentu, was established as a limited liability company in the PRC.

In December 2015, Sentu Huarui was converted from a limited liability company into a joint stock limited liability company and renamed Beijing Sentu Education Technology Co., Ltd., or Beijing Sentu.

In May 2016, Beijing Sentu was listed on the National Equities Exchange and Quotations, or NEEQ in the People’s Republic of China (stock code: 837329). However, as the liquidity of shares traded on NEEQ is comparatively low, Beijing Sentu voluntarily ceased to quote its shares on the NEEQ on November 7, 2017.

In October 2016, Shanghai Ang’you Internet Technology Co., Ltd., or Shanghai Ang’you, became a 51.2% subsidiary of Beijing Sentu. To further expand the business operations, in October 2017, Beijing Sentu acquired 51% equity interests of Guangzhou Xingzhiqiao Information Technology Co., Ltd., or Guangzhou Xingzhiqiao, and in August 2018, acquired the remaining 49% equity interests of Guangzhou Xingzhiqiao.

Table of Contents

In March 2018, Jianzhi Education Technology Group Company Limited was incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability. In March 2018, Jianzhi Education Group Company Limited, or Jianzhi Education (BVI), was incorporated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jianzhi Education Technology Group Company Limited. In April 2018, Jianzhi Education Technology (HK) Company Limited, or Jianzhi Education (HK), was incorporated, and was held by Jianzhi Education (BVI) as an investment holding company. In April 2018, Jianzhi Century Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd., or Jianzhi Beijing, was established in the PRC as a wholly foreign owned enterprise, and was wholly owned by Jianzhi Education (HK).

In July 2018, we issued 11,110,000 Shares (10% of our enlarged share capital reflecting the effect of stock split) to Dongxing Securities (Hong Kong) Financial Holdings Limited, or Dongxing Securities, for a consideration of RMB46.0 million.

In September 2018, the entire equity interests in Beijing Sentu Lejiao Information Technology Co., Ltd., or Sentu Lejiao, was transferred to Jianzhi Beijing such that our Company indirectly held the equity interests in Sentu Lejiao.

In June 2021, Sentu Shuzhi Education Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd., or Sentu Shuzhi, was established in the PRC as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sentu Lejiao.

Due to PRC regulations that limit foreign equity ownership of entities providing radio and television program production and operation business and value-added telecommunication business, in June 2018, we conduct a substantial part of our operations in China through a series of contractual arrangements with Beijing Sentu and its shareholders, or Contractual Arrangements.

As a result of the Contractual Arrangements that our WFOE entered into with Beijing Sentu, the VIE Entity, and its shareholders, the control and benefits of Beijing Sentu and its subsidiaries were accrued to us subject to the conditions that we have satisfied for consolidation of Beijing Sentu and its subsidiaries under U.S. GAAP. Such conditions include that (i) we control Beijing Sentu through the power to govern the activities which most significantly impact Beijing Sentu’s economic performance, (ii) we are contractually obligated to absorb losses of Beijing Sentu that could potentially be significant to Beijing Sentu, and (iii) we are entitled to receive benefits from Beijing Sentu that could potentially be significant to Beijing Sentu. We are deemed as the primary beneficiary of Beijing Sentu and its subsidiaries, and Beijing Sentu and its subsidiaries are treated as our consolidated affiliated entities for accounting purposes under U.S. GAAP. We have consolidated the financial results of Beijing Sentu and its subsidiaries in our (including the VIEs’) consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We refer to Jianzhi Beijing as our WFOE, and to Beijing Sentu and its subsidiaries as the VIEs.

Under PRC law, we may provide funding to our WFOE only through capital contributions or loans, and to Beijing Sentu only through loans, subject to the satisfaction of applicable government registration and approval requirements. We rely on dividends and other distributions from our WFOE to satisfy part of our liquidity requirement. Our WFOE enjoys the economic interest in the operations of Beijing Sentu in the form of service fees under the Contractual Arrangements among our WFOE, Beijing Sentu, and shareholders of Beijing Sentu. For risks relating to the fund flows of our China operations, see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — PRC regulation of loans and direct investment by offshore holding companies to PRC entities may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of this offering to make loans to our PRC subsidiaries or VIE or to make additional capital contributions to Jianzhi Beijing, which could materially and adversely affect our and the VIEs’ liquidity and our and the VIEs’ ability to fund and expand our and the VIEs’ business operations.” and “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Corporate Structure — We are a holding company and the investors will have ownership in a holding company that does not directly own all of its operation in China. We rely on our WFOE and the VIEs for the operation in PRC. We also rely on dividends and other payments from Jianzhi Beijing to pay dividends and other cash distributions to our Shareholders, and any limitation on the ability of Jianzhi Beijing to pay dividends to us could have a material adverse effect on our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders.”

three months ended March 31, 2022, Beijing Sentu, the VIE Entity, further provided loans totalling RMB15.8 million (US$2.5 million) to Jianzhi Beijing, our WFOE, and one of its subsidiaries, meanwhile Beijing Sentu received repayments from Jianzhi Beijing, our WFOE, and one of its subsidiaries in the amount of RMB14.1 million (US$2.2 million). Such loans were recorded under “net cash provided by (used in) financing activities” in the VIE Consolidation Schedule. See “Summary Consolidated Financial Data — VIE Consolidation Schedule.” In addition, Beijing Sentu, the VIE Entity, transferred the copyright ownership of educational video content to Jianzhi Beijing, our WFOE, in 2020, which had a total value of RMB22.2 million. From April 1, 2022 to date, Beijing Sentu, the VIE Entity, received repayments of loans from Jianzhi Beijing, our WFOE, in the amount of RMB6.0 million (US$0.9 million), and provided a new loan in amount of RMB1.6 million (US$0.3 million) to them. The aforementioned assets transfers were for business operation purposes.

Dividends or Distributions Made to the Company and U.S. Investors and Tax Consequences

As of the date of this prospectus, Jianzhi Beijing, our WFOE, hasn’t paid any dividends or made any distributions to the Company, and the Company and Beijing Sentu haven’t paid any dividends or made any distributions to their respective shareholders either.

According to the terms of Contractual Arrangements that our WFOE entered into with Beijing Sentu, the VIE Entity, and its shareholders, our WFOE has a right to charge the VIEs for services provided to them. These service fees shall be recognized as expenses of VIE and its subsidiaries, with a corresponding amount as revenue by our WFOE and then completely eliminate in consolidation level. For income tax purposes, our WFOE and VIEs file income tax returns on a separate company basis. The service fees paid are recognized as a tax deduction by VIEs and as revenue by our WFOE. The PRC’s statutory Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) rates is 25%. VIE Entity and certain its subsidiaries are qualified for preferential EIT rate of 15% or entitled to reduction of taxable income. However, the preferential tax policy is subject to qualification and temporary in nature. It may not be available in a future period when the service fees are really paid. As of the date of this prospectus, Beijing Sentu, the VIE Entity, hasn’t paid any service to our WFOE. Therefore, based on our assessment and best estimate, the possibility of significant income tax variance caused by such hypothetical scenario deems remote.

Furthermore, in accordance with the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, a withholding income tax of 10% is imposed on dividends distributed by a foreign invested enterprise to its immediate holding company outside of China. A lower withholding income tax rate of 5% is applied if the foreign invested enterprise’s immediate holding company is registered in Hong Kong or other jurisdictions that have a tax treaty arrangement with China, subject to a qualification review at the time of the distribution, which apply to our WFOE.

In addition, subject to the passive foreign investment company rules, the gross amount of any distribution that we make to investor with respect to the ADSs or ordinary shares (including any amounts withheld to reflect PRC withholding taxes) will be taxable as a dividend, to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under United States federal income tax principles. If we are considered a PRC tax resident enterprise for tax purposes, any dividends we pay to our overseas shareholders may be regarded as China-sourced income and as a result may be subject to PRC withholding tax. See “Taxation — PRC Taxation” and “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the ADSs and This Offering — If we are classified as a PRC resident enterprise for PRC income tax purposes, such classification could result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC shareholders or ADS holders.”

Restrictions on Foreign Exchange and the Ability to Transfer Cash Between Entities, Across Borders and to U.S. Investors

We currently have not maintained any cash management policies that dictate the purpose, amount and procedure of cash transfers between the Company, our WFOE, the VIE Entity, or investors. Rather, the funds can be transferred in accordance with the applicable PRC laws and regulations. To the extent our cash in the business is in the PRC or a PRC entity, the funds may not be available to distribute dividends to our investors, or for other use outside of the PRC, due to interventions in or the imposition of restrictions and limitations on the ability of us, our subsidiaries, or the VIEs by the PRC government to transfer cash.

The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of Renminbi into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of China. The majority of our and the VIEs’ income is received in Renminbi and shortages in foreign currencies may restrict our ability to pay dividends or other payments, or otherwise satisfy our foreign currency denominated obligations, if any. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from trade-related transactions, can be made in

Table of Contents

foreign currencies without prior approval from SAFE as long as certain procedural requirements are met. Approval from appropriate government authorities is required if Renminbi is converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies. The PRC government may, at its discretion, impose restrictions on access to foreign currencies for current account transactions and if this occurs in the future, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to our shareholders.

Our cash dividends, if any, will be paid in U.S. dollars. If we are considered a PRC tax resident enterprise for tax purposes, any dividends we pay to our overseas shareholders may be regarded as China-sourced income and as a result may be subject to PRC withholding tax. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the ADSs and This Offering — If we are classified as a PRC resident enterprise for PRC income tax purposes, such classification could result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC shareholders or ADS holders.”

Relevant PRC laws and regulations permit the PRC companies to pay dividends only out of their retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Additionally, the Company’s PRC subsidiaries and the VIEs can only distribute dividends upon approval of the shareholders after they have met the PRC requirements for appropriation to the statutory reserves. As a result of these and other restrictions under the PRC laws and regulations, the PRC subsidiaries and the VIEs are restricted to transfer a portion of their net assets to the Company either in the form of dividends, loans or advances. Even though the Company currently does not require any such dividends, loans or advances from the PRC subsidiaries and the VIEs for working capital and other funding purposes, the Company may in the future require additional cash resources from its PRC subsidiaries and the VIEs due to changes in business conditions, to fund future acquisitions and developments, or merely declare and pay dividends to or distributions to the Company’s shareholders.

The following diagram illustrates the typical fund flow among the Company, Jianzhi Beijing, our WFOE, and Beijing Sentu, the VIE Entity.

For a condensed consolidation schedule and consolidated financial statements depicting the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows for Jianzhi Education and the VIEs, see “Summary Consolidated Financial Data.”

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

As a company with less than US$1.07 billion in revenue for our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended, or the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other requirements compared to those that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include exemption from the auditor attestation requirement under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or Section 404, in the assessment of the emerging growth company’s internal control over financial reporting. The JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company does not need to comply with any new or revised financial accounting standards until such date that a private company is otherwise required to comply with such new or revised accounting standards. We have elected to take advantage of such exemptions.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (a) the last day of the fiscal year during which we have total annual gross revenue of at least US$1.07 billion; (b) the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of this offering; (c) the date on which we have, during the preceding three-year period, issued more than US$1.0 billion in non-convertible debt; or (d) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of the ADSs that are held by non-affiliates exceeds US$700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter. Once we cease to be an emerging growth company, we will not be entitled to the exemptions provided in the JOBS Act discussed above.
