The aggregate voting power of these three shareholders was 95.3% as of March 31, 2023. No other shareholder was identified as owning more than 5% of the Company's outstanding shares.
Regulatory Status and Governance
The Company was conclusively identified by the SEC as a Commission-Identified Issuer under the HFCAA on May 26, 2022, due to its audit report being issued by PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhong Tian LLP, a firm headquartered in mainland China. The PCAOB vacated its previous determination regarding the inability to inspect firms in mainland China in December 2022. The Company states it is not owned or controlled by a governmental entity of mainland China and is not aware of any such entity possessing the power to direct its management or policies.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the Company's current HFCAA status and whether the December 2022 PCAOB determination has resolved the delisting risk.
- Confirm the concentration of voting power, noting that Tencent Holdings Limited controls 70.3% of total voting power.
- Review the most recent Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022, for detailed financial performance and operational metrics not included in this filing.
- Monitor for any changes in the shareholding structure of Tencent, JOYY, or Morgan Stanley that could impact control dynamics.
