For the immediately preceding annual financial statements period, the Company’s auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhong Tian LLP (a registered public accounting firm that The United States Public Company Accounting Oversight Board was previously unable to inspect or investigate completely) issued an audit report for the Company for the year ended December 31, 2021.
To the Company’s best knowledge and based on an examination of its register of members and the public filings on Schedule 13G made by its shareholders, the Company respectfully submits that it is not owned or controlled by a governmental entity in the foreign jurisdiction as of the date of this submission.
