FIRST HIGH-SCHOOL EDUCATION GROUP CO., LTD. Company News: Berger Montague Investigates Securities Fraud Allegations Against First High-School Education Group Co., Ltd. (FHS); Lead Plaintiff Deadline is July 11, 2022

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - Newsfile Corp. - July 5, 2022 - Berger Montague is investigating securities fraud allegations on behalf of investors who purchased the American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") of First High-School Education Group Co., Ltd. (NYSE: FHS) ("FHS" or the "Company") on or traceable to the Company's March 2021 initial public offering (the "Class Period").

If you purchased the ADSs of FHS during the Class Period, would like to discuss Berger Montague's investigation, or have questions concerning your rights or interests, please contact attorneys Andrew Abramowitz at aabramowitz@bm.net or (215) 875-3015, or Michael Dell'Angelo at mdellangelo@bm.net or (215) 875-3080 or visit: https://investigations.bergermontague.com/first-high-school-education-group/

Under this program, whistleblowers who provide original information may receive rewards totaling up to thirty percent (30%) of recoveries obtained by the SEC. For more information, contact us.

According to the complaint, FHS, its senior management, and the underwriters of its IPO made materially false statements in the IPO offering documents and failed to disclosed that: (i) the new rules, regulations, and policies to be implemented by the Chinese government following the Two Sessions parliamentary meetings were far more severe than represented; and (ii) the regulations being considered by the Chinese government were leading to a slowdown of government approval to open new educational facilities which would have a negative effect on FHS's enrollment and growth.

Soon after the IPO, media reports stated that attendees of the Two Sessions conference had proposed stricter regulations to rein in the for-profit education industry. On May 12, 2021, news reports revealed that the impending government crackdown on for-profit educational companies in China would be much more drastic and far reaching than previously publicly known. Then, on May 14, 2021, China's state council announced rules that it would further tighten regulations on compulsory education and training institutions.

Thereafter, on July 23, 2021, China unveiled a sweeping overhaul of its education sector, banning companies that teach the school curriculum from making profits, raising capital, or going public. These drastic measures effectively ended any potential growth in the for-profit tutoring sector in China.

By May 10, 2022, FHS ADSs closed below $1 per ADS - more than 90% below the price at which they were sold in the IPO.
