Feb 06,2020

SHANGHAI, China, Feb. 6, 2020-- 360 Finance, Inc. (NASDAQ: QFIN) (“360 Finance” or the “Company”), a leading digital consumer finance platform, today outlined several measures it has taken to ensure business continuity in response to the evolving situation associated with the coronavirus outbreak in China.

Based on the current situation, the Company made appropriate contingency deployments during the Spring Festival. To ensure the safety and health of its employees, all employees have been asked to work remotely for the foreseeable future. The Company has also issued health-related and safety guidelines for employees and implemented a series of measures that will ensure business continuity.

In addition, the Company's affiliates including 360 Group have jointly donated a total of RMB15 million to support the front-line medical staff leading the fight. The donation will be used for medical and prevention and control work across Wuhan and other places in Hubei Province, which have been the areas most affected by the coronavirus outbreak. RMB12 million of the overall donation has been used to purchase urgently needed supplies and equipment, including various types of medical masks, thermometers, medical gloves, disinfectant solutions as well as test kits for the coronavirus. A significant portion of the medical supplies have already arrived in Wuhan and Jingzhou, and additional medical supplies will be shipped progressively and are expected to be sent to hospitals or charities in other cities in Hubei Province such as Huanggang, Xiaogan and Suizhou in the coming weeks. 360 Finance employees have also voluntarily organized donations.

“Our business development and operations remain stable as a result of the joint effort by all our employees,” commented Mr. Haisheng Wu, Chief Executive Officer and Director of 360 Finance. “We have always been committed to maintaining the highest standards of corporate social responsibility and I am proud to see the outpouring of support from all our employees as the nation battles the outbreak. We continue to focus on improving the quality of the loans originated on our platform despite the situation and amid macro and regulatory headwinds. The delinquency rate of loans originated by us has been temporarily impacted, but we expect it will remain manageable in the long run. Our priority has always been the health and safety of our employees and assuring that business operations continue smoothly as we service our customers and partners. I am confident that we have the flexibility needed to navigate these difficult times and generate long-term sustainable value for our shareholders.”
