Qutoutiao Inc. (the "Registrant") is unable to file its annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (the "Form 20-F") on or before the prescribed due date of April 30, 2026 without unreasonable effort or expense, because the Registrant needs additional time to prepare and review its consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. The Registrant is working diligently to complete the preparation and review of its financial statements in order to file the Form 20-F as soon as practicable; however, the Registrant does not currently anticipate that it will be able to file the Form 20-F within the fifteen-day grace period provided by Rule 12b-25 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

**Forward-Looking Statements**

This notification on Form 12b-25 contains forward-looking statements. These statements constitute "forward-looking" statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as defined in the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "will," "expects," "anticipates," "future," "intends," "plans," "believes," "estimates" and similar statements. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about the Registrant's beliefs, plans and expectations, are forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the estimated timing for the filing of the Registrant's Form 20-F. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement, including but not limited to the ability of and the time needed for the Registrant to finalize and file its Form 20-F. Further information regarding these and other risks is included in the Registrant's filings with the SEC. All information provided in this notification is as of the date of this notification, and the Registrant does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement, except as required under applicable law.
