Yunji Inc. filed this Form 6-K for April 2023, dated April 26, 2023. The filing is a supplemental submission under Item 16I(a) of Form 20-F addressing the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (HFCAA), rather than an operating or financial results report.
Financial and operating metrics
The filing does not provide revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, liquidity, guidance, or other operating performance metrics. The filing text does not provide a clear value for these items.
Material changes versus the prior comparable period
No financial or operating-period comparison is presented. The primary disclosure is that the PCAOB vacated its prior determination in December 2022 that it could not completely inspect or investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China.
HFCAA status, ownership, and control
- Yunji was conclusively identified by the SEC in May 2022 as a Commission-Identified Issuer because its 2021 Form 20-F included an audit report issued by PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhong Tian LLP, a mainland China-based registered public accounting firm.
- The company states that it is not owned or controlled by a mainland China government entity and is controlled by Mr. Shanglue Xiao.
- As of February 28, 2023, Mr. Xiao beneficially owned 49.6% of total outstanding shares and held 90.5% of aggregate voting power.
- Lanlan Ltd., wholly owned by Mr. Xiao, held 949,960,000 Class B shares, representing 47.8% of total outstanding shares and 90.2% of aggregate voting power.
