GUANGZHOU, China, October 25, 2022 – Viomi Technology Co., Ltd (“Viomi” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: VIOT), a leading IoT @ Home technology company in China, today announced that as a part of the Company’s continuous commitment to enhancing shareholder value, its board of directors has approved a new share repurchase plan under which the Company may repurchase up to US$10 million worth of its American depositary shares over the next 12 months, ending on October 24, 2023. The Company’s previous 12-month share repurchase plan as originally announced on October 14, 2021, has expired.
