1.b. Last Insights on AIU

Meta Data Limited's recent performance was negatively driven by the company's placement into Official Liquidation in the Cayman Islands on August 19, 2024, as announced by the company. This development likely led to a significant decline in investor confidence. Furthermore, the company's planned ADS ratio change from 2:1 to 10:1, announced on July 19, 2024, may have also contributed to the negative sentiment. The company's completion of a reverse stock split on July 29, 2024, was a positive development, but it was overshadowed by the subsequent liquidation announcement.
