HONG KONG, June 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- UCLOUDLINK GROUP INC. (“UCLOUDLINK” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: UCL), the world’s first and leading mobile data traffic sharing marketplace, today announced that after careful consideration of current market conditions and shareholder interests, the Company has decided not to conduct any financing activities under its existing Form F-3 registration statement from the date of this announcement until the expiration of the registration statement on August 7, 2025, and will not renew the registration statement. Additionally, the Company commits not to file any new registration statement on Form F-3 until the end of the first quarter of 2026.
Mr. Chaohui Chen, Director and Chief Executive Officer of UCLOUDLINK, commented, “The Form F-3 registration statement was initially filed in 2021 to prepare ourselves for the severe impact the COVID-19 pandemic had on our international data connectivity business and on our cash flow. In response to the uncertainties in the global capital markets at the time, we decided to put in place financing options which we can draw from when needed in order to ensure business sustainability and continuity. We were however able to overcome external challenges and achieve steady growth in our net operating cash inflows and continued improvement in our financial position and results for three consecutive years (2022–2024), by strengthening cost controls, streamlining operational efficiencies, optimizing research and development endeavors, and accelerating product commercialization.”
“Looking ahead, UCLOUDLINK will concentrate its resources on the growth of core business components including GlocalMe MBB/FBB, GlocalMe Life, GlocalMe SIM and GlocalMe IoT business, accelerating the commercialization of new solutions and services and expanding into high-potential markets. With these innovative solutions increasingly creating new revenue streams and broadening our user base, I am confident that we are on the right track to build an integrated and comprehensive global mobile data traffic sharing marketplace that will create long-term value for our shareholders,” Mr Chen added.
