The Company has continued to receive interests from users and content creators to join the CHEERS video platform (the “Platform”) and the Company upgraded the Platform on December 1, 2021 to include user-generated content (“UGC”) rights management system (the “System”). The Company expects to enhance the relationship between users and the Platform to accelerate user engagement by leveraging the Company’s production value with leading content creators. The Company expects the Platform’s profitability to increase by creating new income streams for users and converting the Platform’s traffic into additional revenue.

With these upgrades, users now have access and opportunity to co-build the Platform and contribute to the improvement of the content production ecosystem. The Company has made a new strategic plan of cultivating outstanding UGC creators and producing high quality UGC in the long run in partnership with the Company. The plan includes multiple initiatives such as traffic support and cash subsidies for UGC creators and guidance of trending topics to support the creation of high-quality videos. In addition, the Company plans to attract influencers with a high number of followers/traffic to help accelerate the Platform’s adoption.

This results in a win-win situation for everyone involved.”

Mr. Zhang, continued: “We encourage all users who are passionate about sharing their views of life to become partners of the Platform. We will fully dedicate our resources, offer traffic support, and provide rewards and long-term contracts as incentives to incubate high-quality IP and create more opportunities for people to fulfill self-worth through the CHEERS App platform.”
