- Significant Move to Small Class Sector

SHANGHAI, Aug. 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- OneSmart International Education Group Limited (NYSE: ONE) ("OneSmart" or the "Company"), one of the largest premium K-12 after-school education service provider in China, today announced that it has through its affiliates acquired 100% equity interest of Tianjin Huaying Education Co. Ltd. ("Huaying"), one of the largest K-12 after-school education service provider based in Tianjin.

Mr. Steve Xi Zhang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of OneSmart, commented, "I'd like to welcome Huaying to the OneSmart family where we will work together to realize strategic business synergies and improve education quality and operational performance. This transaction is part of our strategy to further consolidate China's fragmented educational market through both organic growth and acquisitions. Our systematic and disciplined approach to integrating acquisitions and developing synergies with our business will allow us to replicate the success of our acquisition of FasTrack English in January 2018.

Huaying has done a tremendous job in building a talented team and developing a strong and reputable brand in Tianjin which will help us expand our presence into Northern China. I believe the acquisition would create synergies in terms of product offerings and geography to OneSmart's business. The transaction demonstrates our significant move to the small class settings and lay the foundation to launching dual-teacher and online broadcasting model. I look forward to working closely with Huaying management to further strengthen our leading position in China's premium K-12 after-school education market.

Looking ahead, OneSmart would continue to seek opportunities to acquire and integrate regional leaders in K-12 after-school education market."
