ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY A. History and Development of the Company Our first school was established by Mr. Michael Minhong Yu, our executive chairman, in Beijing, China in 1993 to offer TOEFL test preparation courses to college students. We established New Oriental China in 2001 as a domestic holding company to act as the sponsor of our schools and hold some operating subsidiaries. In order to facilitate foreign investment in our company, we established our offshore holding company, New Oriental Education & Technology Group Inc., in the British Virgin Islands in August 2004. We redomiciled to the Cayman Islands in March 2006 and are now a Cayman Islands company. We have three wholly-owned subsidiaries in Hong Kong that directly own our wholly-owned subsidiaries in China. We completed an initial public offering and listed our ADSs on the NYSE under the symbol “EDU” in September 2006.
