BEIJING, July 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Youlife Group Inc. ("Youlife" or the "Company"), a leading blue-collar lifetime service provider in China, today announced the completion of a previously announced business combination (the "Business Combination") between Youlife International Holdings Inc. and Distoken Acquisition Corporation ("Distoken").

The PIPE Financing closed simultaneously with the closing of the Business Combination. Proceeds from the PIPE Financing will be used to fund Youlife's strategic development.

Yunlei Wang, Founder, CEO and Chairman of Youlife, said, "Today marks a significant milestone in Youlife's journey. Listing on Nasdaq is not only a vote of confidence in our mission to serve China's blue-collar workforce, but also a launchpad to amplify our impact on a global scale.
