Rhea-AI Filing Summary
iHuman Inc. is acquiring the businesses and assets behind two AI-powered learning apps, All Knowledge and Perfect Lingo, for aggregate consideration of RMB94.0 million, subject to possible price adjustments and earn-out payments. The deal brings humanities-focused and English vocabulary/AI learning products that complement iHuman’s existing education ecosystem.

Insights
iHuman is using a structured, earn-out backed deal to add AI-focused learning apps and senior talent.
The acquisitions of All Knowledge and Perfect Lingo for aggregate RMB94.0 million, with independent valuation support, expand iHuman into humanities and advanced vocabulary training while staying within its tech-enabled learning focus. Earn-out structures tied to three-year financial targets align part of the consideration with performance.
Downside price protections to RMB51.0 million and RMB21.0 million if material adverse events occur help manage risk. However, these are related party transactions under common control, so governance relies heavily on the board and audit committee approvals and the Big Four valuation.
Leadership changes are notable: appointing Teng Li as Co-CEO upon closing and adding Congyu Lin as Chief Strategy Officer bring experience from All Knowledge, Perfect Lingo, and Perfect World. Future disclosures may clarify integration progress and whether the new apps and leaders drive the broader AI-powered product strategy.

iHuman Inc. Announces Acquisition of Businesses and Assets Related to All Knowledge and Perfect Lingo
BEIJING, China, May 31, 2026 — iHuman Inc. (NYSE: IH) (“iHuman” or the “Company”), a leading provider of tech-powered, intellectual development products in China, today announced that it has entered into certain asset transfer agreements to acquire the businesses and assets related to two products, All Knowledge (全知识) and Perfect Lingo (万词王) (the “Acquisitions”), for an aggregate consideration of RMB94.0 million, subject to potential two-way price adjustments and contingent earn-out payments.
All Knowledge is an app that focuses on humanities and AI literacy, providing users with AI-powered interactive access to knowledge across history, culture, literature, philosophy, art, and other humanities fields. All Knowledge features a number of systematic learning tools, including spatio-temporal views, historical timelines, and relationship graphs. It has also launched a series of ladder-style learning products, including Elite Youth Tianti, which is among China’s first batch of systematic general knowledge learning programs, Literature and History Tianti, which provides comprehensive and structured learning content for literature and history enthusiasts, and AI Tianti, which is designed to help users better apply, understand, and harness AI.
Perfect Lingo is an AI learning app designed to help users expand their vocabulary, improve pronunciation, and develop comprehensive English learning capabilities through real-life scenarios and video-based learning, extensive dictionaries, AI-powered assessment, intensive training exercises, and pronunciation practice, as well as a personalized AI learning system built around vocabulary learning.
Mr. Michael Yufeng Chi, founder and chairman of iHuman, commented, “We are pleased to announce the acquisition of the businesses and assets related to All Knowledge and Perfect Lingo. The Acquisitions represent not only an important step in expanding our product portfolio, but also a strategically meaningful move for us in the industry. All Knowledge and Perfect Lingo bring strong content, AI technology capabilities, deep understanding of the learning market across all age groups, and proven organizational execution in sales and services. All Knowledge and Perfect Lingo are highly complementary to our existing product ecosystem, and will open up new market opportunities for us. The addition of these products will also help us extend the boundaries of our services and the user groups we reach, while further expanding our product portfolio and AI capabilities, deepening our content offerings, diversifying our product ecosystem, and generating stronger synergies across our products. We believe this initiative will significantly enhance our market competitiveness and unlock substantial potential for future growth.
In addition, on behalf of the board of directors, I am pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Teng Li from All Knowledge and Perfect Lingo as Co-Chief Executive Officer (Co-CEO) of iHuman, effective upon closing of the transactions. We are also pleased to welcome Ms. Congyu Lin as our new Chief Strategy Officer (CSO) to support the Company’s business development. Prior to joining iHuman, Ms. Congyu Lin held the position of Senior Vice President at Perfect World, and will bring her extensive experience in management and strategic planning to us. Mr. Li and Ms. Lin have each demonstrated outstanding leadership and deep expertise in their respective fields. Their addition will bring fresh energy and strategic vision to iHuman. We believe they will work closely with our existing management team to further drive the Company’s business development, open up broader market opportunities, and create more sustainable growth momentum,” Mr. Chi concluded.
Pursuant to the asset transfer agreements, the Company will conduct acquisition of the businesses and assets related to All Knowledge and Perfect Lingo, for considerations of RMB67.0 million and RMB27.0 million, respectively, subject to potential purchase price adjustments. The purchase prices would be adjusted downward to RMB51.0 million for All Knowledge and RMB21.0 million for Perfect Lingo if certain material adverse events occur. In addition, the sellers may be entitled to contingent earn-out payments of up to RMB29.0 million for All Knowledge and RMB12.0 million for Perfect Lingo in cash, subject to the achievement of certain financial conditions over the next three years. The Company engaged the valuation services of a “Big Four” accounting firm (the “Valuer”) to prepare an independent third-party valuation. The considerations were determined with the assistance of the Valuer. The Acquisitions, which constitute related party transactions due to the common control between the transferors and the Company, have been approved by the board of directors and the audit committee and are subject to customary closing conditions. The appointments of Mr. Teng Li and Ms. Congyu Lin have also been nominated by the Company’s nominating and corporate governance committee and approved by the board of directors.
