So-Young Announces Plan to Implement ADS Ratio Change

BEIJING, May 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — So-Young International Inc. (Nasdaq: SY) (“So-Young” or the “Company”), the leading aesthetic treatment platform in China connecting consumers with online services and offline treatments, today announced that the Company plans to change the ratio of the American depositary shares (“ADSs”) to its Class A ordinary shares from thirteen (13) ADSs representing ten (10) Class A ordinary shares to one (1) ADS representing fifteen (15) Class A ordinary shares.

For the Company’s ADS holders, the change in the ADS ratio will result in an effect equivalent to a proportional reverse ADS split. There will be no change to the Company’s Class A ordinary shares. The effect of the ratio change on the ADS trading price on Nasdaq is expected to take place at the open of trading on June 30, 2025 (U.S. Eastern Time). ADS holders of record on the effective date will not be required to take any action in connection with the ADS ratio change. The exchange of then-held (old) ADSs for new ADS will occur automatically with the then-held ADSs being cancelled and new ADSs being issued by the depositary bank, in each case as of the effective date for the ADS ratio change. The ADSs will continue to be traded on Nasdaq under the symbol “SY.”

No fractional new ADSs will be issued in connection with the change in the ADS ratio. Instead, fractional entitlements to new ADSs will be aggregated and sold by the depositary bank and the net cash proceeds from the sale of the fractional ADS entitlements (after deduction of fees, taxes and expenses) will be distributed to the applicable ADS holders by the depositary bank.

As a result of the change in the ADS ratio, the ADS price is expected to increase proportionally, although the Company can give no assurance that the ADS price after the change in the ADS ratio will be equal to or greater than a proportional price based on ADS price before the change.

GC Biopharma’s Phase 3 Clinical Trial Results for Hunterase Published in SCIE-Indexed Journal

YONGIN, South Korea, May 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — GC Biopharma, a South Korean pharmaceutical company, announced that the Phase 3 clinical trial results for Hunterase (idursulfase beta), its investigational drug for Hunter Syndrome (MPS II), have been published in Genetics in Medicine, an SCIE-indexed journal.

Conducted at Samsung Medical Center, the Phase 3 clinical trial enrolled 24 newly diagnosed Hunter Syndrome patients with no prior treatment. It evaluated the efficacy and safety of Hunterase over a one-year treatment period.

Hunter Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder caused by a deficiency of iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS), an enzyme critical for glycosaminoglycan (GAG) catabolism. This deficiency leads to the progressive accumulation of GAGs in various organs and tissues, resulting in multisystemic dysfunction, including joint stiffness and hepatosplenomegaly.

The clinical trial results demonstrated that Hunterase significantly enhanced functional mobility, reduced urinary GAG concentrations, and markedly alleviated hepatosplenomegaly.

In the 6-Minute Walk Test (6-MWT), the primary endpoint of the study, patients treated with Hunterase walked an average of 62.2 meters more after treatment. This improvement was more than eight times greater compared to the placebo group, which saw an average increase of just 7.3 meters.

The 6-MWT measures the distance a patient can walk on a flat surface within 6 minutes. It is a widely used clinical measure for evaluating functional mobility, cardiopulmonary function, muscle strength, and overall physical health. In the context of Hunter syndrome, it serves as a standardized and meaningful indicator of disease progression and quality of life.

In addition to the primary endpoint, the study also achieved positive outcomes in secondary endpoints, including changes in urinary total glycosaminoglycan (GAG) levels, as well as heparan sulfate (HS) and dermatan sulfate (DS) levels. The GAG levels decreased by 71%, while HS and DS levels decreased by 89% and 88%, respectively. Moreover, liver and spleen volumes were reduced by 27% and 26%, respectively, demonstrating the drug’s effectiveness in addressing organ enlargement commonly associated with the disease.

Hunterase also demonstrated a favorable safety profile. Most adverse events were mild or moderate, and no patients discontinued treatment due to side effects. Notably, only 19% of the patients had neutralizing antibodies detected three or more consecutive times, which is significantly lower than the 62.5% observed with the existing treatments. This suggests that Hunterase may offer a more sustained therapeutic effect compared to other currently available therapy.

“This clinical trial is especially meaningful as it represents the first Phase 3 study in Asian patients to validate the clinical efficacy of Hunterase”, said Professor Young Bae Sohn of Ajou University School of Medicine and Ajou University Hospital, the journal’s first author. “The results showed significant clinical improvement not only in metabolic markers but also in organ size normalization and restoration of physical mobility.”

“We are thrilled to publish our encouraging phase 3 clinical trial results”, stated Jae Uk Jeong, Head of R&D at GC Biopharma. “Hunterase, developed in Korea using our proprietary technology, has the potential to significantly improve the lives of patients with Hunter syndrome.”

Hunter Syndrome is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder, affecting approximately 1 in 100,000 male births. In severe cases, the patients experience early death before they reach adulthood, highlighting the need for early diagnosis and treatment. Currently, two treatments are widely available worldwide for Hunter Syndrome: GC Biopharma’s Hunterase and Takeda’s Elaprase.

Gaming Reimagined: Infinix GT VERSE Merges Power, Play, and Portability in One Seamless Ecosystem

HONG KONG, May 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As the global gaming population surpasses 3 billion and mobile esports continues to rise, gamers’ demands for immersive experiences are evolving rapidly. Gaming is no longer confined to simple environments—it now extends across diverse scenarios where seamless device collaboration is essential. Players are no longer content with traditional gaming tools; they seek deeper immersion, longer battery life, and a balance between high-performance gameplay and creative productivity.

This shift is driving mobile brands away from a purely hardware-centric race toward comprehensive ecosystem development. Infinix‘s response goes beyond building yet another uninspiring gaming system—it’s about creating a true digital playground.

GT VERSE was born from this idea: a mobile gaming space that’s innovative, dynamic, and fun. Like stepping into a theme park, each product—from the GT 30 Pro smartphone and XPAD GT tablet to the GTBUDS 4 earbuds, GTPOWER power bank, and magnetic cooling case—fits together like building blocks, forming a seamless immersive system. Devices work in sync, staying cool and stable under pressure, letting you switch effortlessly from gameplay to content creation.

Far beyond a conventional tablet, the XPAD GT provides access to the GT Playground—a dynamic space where gameplay and reality intersect with fluid precision.

Gear That Powers Every Move

In the GT VERSE playground, every accessory plays a critical role in delivering the immersive experience:

GTBUDS 4 – Featuring 12.4mm drivers and 30dB active noise cancellation, these earbuds eliminate external distractions to provide pure sound immersion.

Together, this lineup transforms the GT VERSE into a truly portable mobile playground. Whether the priority is immersion, endurance, or seamless connectivity, GT VERSE equips gamers with a comprehensive arsenal—prepared for action in any scenario.
