1. I (we) purchased or otherwise acquired Tarena International, Inc. (“Tarena”) American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) during the Class Period. (Do not submit this Proof of Claim and Release Form (“Claim Form”) if you did not purchase Tarena ADSs during the Class Period.)
2. By submitting this Claim Form, I (we) state that I (we) believe in good faith that I am (we are) a Settlement Class Member(s) as defined above and in the Notice of Pendency and Proposed Settlement of Class Action (the “Notice”), or am (are) acting for such person(s); that I am (we are) not a Defendant in the Action or anyone excluded from the Settlement Class; that I (we) have read and understand the Notice; that I (we) believe that I am (we are) entitled to receive a share of the Net Settlement Fund, as defined in the Notice; that I (we) elect to participate in the proposed Settlement described in the Notice; and that I (we) have not filed a request for exclusion. (If you are acting in a representative capacity on behalf of a Settlement Class Member [e.g., as an executor, administrator, trustee, or other representative], you must submit evidence of your current authority to act on behalf of that Settlement Class Member. Such evidence would include, for example, letters testamentary, letters of administration, or a copy of the trust documents.)
3. I (we) consent to the jurisdiction of the Court with respect to all questions concerning the validity of this Claim Form. I (we) understand and agree that my (our) claim may be subject to investigation and discovery under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, provided that such investigation and discovery shall be limited to my (our) status as a Settlement Class Member(s) and the validity and amount of my (our) claim. No discovery shall be allowed on the merits of the Action or Settlement in connection with processing of the Claim Form.
4. I (we) have set forth where requested below all relevant information with respect to each purchase or acquisition of Tarena ADSs, and each sale, if any, of such ADSs. I (we) agree to furnish additional information to the Claims Administrator to support this claim if requested to do so.
5. I (we) have enclosed photocopies of the stockbroker’s confirmation slips, stockbroker’s statements, or other documents evidencing each purchase and sale of Tarena ADSs listed below in support of my (our) claim. If any such documents are not in your possession, please obtain a copy or equivalent documents from your broker or tax advisor because these documents are necessary to prove and process your claim.
YOUR FAILURE TO SUBMIT COPIES OF OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS EVIDENCING YOUR PURCHASES AND/OR SALES OF TARENA ADSs WILL CAUSE THE CLAIMS ADMINISTRATOR TO REJECT YOUR CLAIM.
6. I (we) understand that the information contained in this Claim Form is subject to such verification as the Claims Administrator may request or as the Court may direct, and I (we) agree to cooperate in any such verification. (The information requested herein is designed to provide the minimum amount of information necessary to process most simple claims. The Claims Administrator may request additional information as required to efficiently and reliably calculate your Recognized Loss. In some cases, the Claims Administrator may condition acceptance of the claim based upon the production of additional information, including, where applicable, information concerning transactions in any derivatives securities such as options.) I (we) understand that if I (we) timely submit a Claim Form that is deficient or otherwise rejected, I (we) will be afforded a reasonable time (at least ten (10) calendar days) to cure such deficiency if such deficiency may be cured. I (we) understand that if I (we) you wish to contest the rejection determination, I (we) must, within thirty (30) calendar days after the date of mailing of the rejection notice, serve upon the Claims Administrator, by mail or email, a notice and statement of reasons for contesting the rejection along with any supporting documentation. I (we) understand that if I (we) disagree with the Claims Administrator’s review decision, I (we) may request Lead Counsel to review the claim; if an issue concerning a claim cannot be otherwise resolved, Lead Counsel shall thereafter present my (our) request for review to the Court at the time a motion for distribution of Settlement fund is made.
7. Upon the occurrence of the Court’s approval of the Settlement, as detailed in the Notice, I (we) agree and acknowledge that my (our)signature(s) hereto shall effect and constitute a full and complete release, remise and discharge by me (us) and my (our) heirs, joint tenants, tenants in common, beneficiaries, executors, administrators, predecessors, successors, attorneys, insurers and assigns (or, if I am (we are) submitting this Claim Form on behalf of a corporation, a partnership, estate or one or more other persons, by it, him, her or them, and by its, his, her or their heirs, executors, administrators, predecessors, successors, and assigns) of each of the “Released Parties” of all “Released Claims,” as those terms are defined in the Second Amended Stipulation of Settlement, dated August 18, 2023 (“Stipulation”).
8. Upon the occurrence of the Court’s approval of the Settlement, as detailed in the Notice, I (we) agree and acknowledge that my (our) signature(s) hereto shall effect and constitute a covenant by me (us) and my (our) heirs, joint tenants, tenants in common, beneficiaries, executors, administrators, predecessors, successors, attorneys, insurers and assigns (or, if I am (we are) submitting this Claim Form on behalf of a corporation, a partnership, estate or one or more other persons, by it, him, her or them, and by its, his, her or their heirs, executors, administrators, predecessors, successors, and assigns) to permanently refrain from prosecuting or attempting to prosecute any Released Claims against any of the Released Parties.

11. “Unknown Claims” has the meaning laid out in the Stipulation.

13. NOTICE REGARDING INSTITUTIONAL FILERS: Representatives with authority to file on behalf of (a) accounts of multiple Settlement Class Members and/or (b) institutional accounts with large numbers of transactions (“Representative Filers”) must submit information regarding their transactions in an electronic spreadsheet format.

All Representative Filers MUST also submit a manually signed Claim Form, as well as proof of authority to file (see Item 2 of the Claimant’s Statement), along with the electronic spreadsheet format. No claims submitted in electronic spreadsheet format will be considered to have been properly submitted unless the Claims Administrator issues to the Claimant a written acknowledgment of receipt and acceptance of electronically submitted data.
