Tuniu Corporation, a foreign private issuer headquartered in Nanjing, China, submitted this report pursuant to Item 16I(a) of Form 20-F.

Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide a clear value for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. This document is a regulatory submission regarding corporate governance and ownership rather than a financial performance report.
Material Changes
The filing details the Company's response to its identification by the SEC in May 2022 as a Commission-Identified Issuer under the HFCAA. This status arose because the Company's 2021 audit was performed by PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhong Tian LLP, a firm headquartered in mainland China. The filing notes that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) vacated its determination regarding the inability to inspect firms in mainland China in December 2022.
