Youdao Inc 's Comment on Competition and Industry Peers


The company faces challenges from competitors, including complaints to regulatory agencies and negative public assessments, which could impact its reputation and lead to costly investigations. It has a non-competition agreement with NetEase that imposes non-compete restrictions and requires both parties to refer certain business opportunities to each other. NetEase holds various business interests that may compete with the company, potentially restricting the company's ability to diversify revenue and pursue new opportunities. NetEase may also sell its shares to third parties, including competitors, which could influence the company's governance. Additionally, the company may face limitations in establishing business relationships with competitors of NetEase. William Lei Ding, a director of the company, also serves as CEO, director, and largest shareholder of NetEase, presenting potential conflicts of interest.
