The board of directors of the Company resolved on January 27, 2025, to propose the removal of PricewaterhouseCoopers and PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhong Tian LLP as the auditors of the Company, subject to the passing of an ordinary resolution at an extraordinary general meeting to be convened and held by the Company. The board of directors of the Company further resolved on April 23, 2025, to appoint Ernst & Young and Ernst & Young Hua Ming LLP as the new auditors of the Company, also subject to the passing of an ordinary resolution at the same extraordinary general meeting. This extraordinary general meeting is currently scheduled for June 25, 2025. The Company expects to file its 2024 Form 20-F promptly after the new auditors have completed their audit of the financial statements required to be included therein.
