SINGAPORE, April 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Canaan Inc. (NASDAQ: CAN) (“Canaan” or the “Company“), a leading high-performance computing solutions provider, today announced that Mr. Nangeng Zhang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Canaan, and Mr. James Jin Cheng, Chief Financial Officer of Canaan, informed the Company their intention to use their personal funds to jointly purchase no less than US$2 million of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares represented by American depositary shares (“ADSs”), each ADS representing 15 of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, subject to the Company’s insider trading policy and in compliance with legal guidelines.
“We believe that the Company is deeply undervalued, providing a rare investment opportunity for us to pursue,” said Mr. Nangeng Zhang. “The Company is making good progress in streamlining the manufacturing of A14 series mining machines that were previously ordered under contract sales, including bulk orders from public company customers. Additionally, we are eager to see the testing result of the next generation A15 series units, and we are also developing the A16 series in the R&D pipeline. Following our usual practice, we will announce their performance once the machine testing is complete. Now that the fourth bitcoin halving occurred on Friday, we expect many more opportunities will emerge in the bitcoin ecosystem.”
