BEIJING, China, Jan. 3, 2023 — So-Young International Inc. (Nasdaq: SY) (“So-Young” or the “Company”), the largest and most vibrant social community in China for consumers, professionals and service providers in the medical aesthetics industry, today announced that its board of directors has authorized an adjustment to the Company’s previously adopted Share Repurchase Program, increasing the aggregate value of shares (including in the form of ADS) that the Company is authorized to repurchase under the program from US$15 million to US$25 million to demonstrate the Company’s confidence in its long-term prospects. The Share Repurchase Program is effective for a 12-month period beginning from November 18, 2022.
The Company’s proposed repurchases may be effected from time to time in the open market at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions, in block trades and/or through other legally permissible means, depending on market conditions and in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. The Company’s board of directors will review the share repurchase program periodically, and may authorize adjustment of its terms and size. The Company expects to fund the repurchases out of its cash balance.
