Analysis · BZ · Technology
A new Form 144 from Techwolf Limited—an entity tied to founder and CEO Zhao Peng, who signed the filing—proposes the sale of 11,933,600 Class A ordinary shares worth approximately $88.3 million on the Hong Kong exchange. The stated purpose is to meet the seller's own funding needs. This comes on the heels of a separate Form 144 filed on 2026-09-14 by pre-IPO investor Image Frame Investment for 36.6 million shares, and a concurrent 144/A correcting the broker for a prior Techwolf sale of 1,618,200 ADSs. The combined insider selling activity over the past week represents a meaningful distribution signal, though the company has been aggressively repurchasing shares (over $267M year-to-date), which partially offsets the overhang.
