Exhibit 99.1

36Kr Holdings Inc. Announces Plan to Implement ADS Ratio Change

BEIJING, September 19, 2024 / GLOBE NEWSWIRE / - 36Kr Holdings Inc. (“36Kr” or the “Company” or “We”) (NASDAQ: KRKR), a prominent brand and a pioneering platform dedicated to serving New Economy participants in China, today announced that it plans to change the ratio of its American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) to Class A ordinary shares from one (1) ADS representing twenty-five (25) Class A ordinary shares to one (1) ADS representing five hundred (500) Class A ordinary shares.

This ratio change will have the same effect as a one-for-twenty reverse ADS split for 36Kr’s ADSs holders. There will be no change to 36Kr’s underlying Class A ordinary shares, and no Class A ordinary shares will be issued or cancelled in connection with this ratio change. The effect of the ratio change on the ADS trading price on the Nasdaq Capital Market is expected to take place at the opening of business on October 3, 2024. Holders of the ADSs will not be required to take any action in connection with the ratio change, as the change will be affected on the books of the ADS depositary. Following the ratio change, 36Kr’s ADSs will continue to be traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol “KRKR.”

No fractional new ADSs will be issued in connection with the change in the ADS Ratio. Instead, fractional entitlements to the new ADSs will be aggregated and sold by the depositary bank, and the net cash proceeds from the sale of the fractional ADS entitlements (after deduction of fees, taxes, and expenses) will be distributed to the applicable ADS holders by the depositary bank.

As a result of the change in the ADS ratio, the ADS price is expected to increase proportionally, although the Company can give no assurance that the ADS price after the change in the ADS ratio will be equal to or greater than twenty times the ADS price before the change.
