ATA Creativity Global Announces Closing of Registered Direct Offering of its ADSs

ATA Creativity Global (“ACG” or the “Company”, Nasdaq: AACG), an international educational services company focused on providing quality learning experiences that cultivate and enhance students’ creativity, today announced the closing of its previously announced registered direct offering for the sale and purchase of 11,067,547 American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), each representing two common shares of the Company, with a par value of US$0.01 per share (the “Common Shares”), at a purchase price of US$0.80 per ADS (equivalent to US$0.40 per Common Share), pursuant to the subscription agreement dated November 17, 2025 entered into by and among the Company and three investors.

The Company received gross proceeds of approximately US$8.85 million from the issuance and sale of the ADSs before deducting the offering expenses payable by the Company. The net proceeds from the registered direct offering will be used for general working capital needs.

The Company and Baby Capital have since terminated the discussions regarding the potential transaction contemplated under the Term Sheet.

This Report on Form 6-K is incorporated by reference into the Company’s Registration Statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-278921), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 25, 2024, to be a part thereof from the date on which this Report is submitted, to the extent not superseded by documents or reports subsequently filed or furnished.
