Announcement of Completion of Merger
On May 19, 2021, Newegg Commerce,
Inc., formerly known as Lianluo Smart Limited., (for avoidance of doubts, in this Form 6-K, the post-closing issuer is referred to as
the “Company”, and the pre-closing issuer is referred to as “LLIT”) issued a press release announcing
the closing of the merger with privately-held Newegg Inc. (“Newegg”) contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan
of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) dated October 23, 2020, by and among LLIT, Lightning Delaware Sub, Inc., a Delaware
corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and Newegg, and the disposition of all of LLIT’s legacy business contemplated
by that certain Equity Transfer Agreement (“Disposition Agreement”) dated October 23, 2020, by and among LLIT, Beijing
Fenjin Times Technology Development Co., Ltd. (“Beijing Fenjin”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Lianluo Connection.
Following the closing, the Company has been renamed Newegg Commerce, Inc. and the common shares
of the Company, par value $0.021848 per share (the “Common Shares”) are expected to begin trading under the Company’s
new symbol “NEGG” on the Nasdaq Capital Market on or about May 20, 2021.
The foregoing description
of the Merger Agreement and the Disposition Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of
such agreements, which are attached as Annex A and Annex E to Proxy Statement/Prospectus (File No. 333-24960) filed by the Company with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 14, 2021 and incorporated herein by reference.
Copy of the press release
is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this current report on Form 6-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
Changes in Registrant’s Certifying
Accountant
Former Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm
In connection with the closing of the Restructure,
on May 19, 2021, the audit committee of board of directors of the LLIT (the “Audit Committee”) received the letter
of resignation from its independent registered public accounting firm, BDO China Shu Lun Pan Certified Public Accountants LLP (“BDO
China”), effective immediately.
The audit reports of BDO China on LLIT’s consolidated
financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and
were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that the audit report on the December 31,
2019 consolidated financial statements included an explanatory paragraph that described factors that raised substantial doubt about LLIT’s
ability to continue as a going concern.
During LLIT’s two most recent fiscal years and
for the subsequent interim period through May 19, 2021, LLIT had no “disagreements” (as described in Item 16F(a)(1)(iv) of
Form 20-F) with BDO China on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure,
which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of BDO China, would have caused it to make reference in connection with its opinion
to the subject matter of the disagreements.
During LLIT’s two most recent fiscal years and
for the subsequent interim period through May 19, 2021, there was one “reportable event” within the meaning of Item 16F(a)(1)(v)
of Form 20-F, relating to disclosure of material weakness in LLIT’s internal control over financial reporting. As previously reported,
the following material weakness was identified as of December 31, 2020 and 2019: LLIT did not have sufficient qualified accounting personnel
with level of knowledge, experience and training of U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements commensurate with our financial reporting
requirements. Also, as a small company, LLIT did not have sufficient internal control personnel to set up adequate review functions at
each reporting level.
In accordance with Item 16F(a)(3) of Form 20-F, BDO
China was furnished with a copy of this Form 6-K on May 19, 2021, providing BDO China with the opportunity to furnish the Company with
a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Company herein in response to Item 16F(a) of Form
20-F, and if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. Attached as Exhibit 15.1 is a copy of BDO China’s letter addressed
to the SEC relating to the statements made by the Company in this report.
New Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm
On May 19, 2021 upon the Audit Committee’s
approval, the Company engaged BDO USA LLP (“BDO USA”) as its new independent registered public accounting firm to audit
and review the Company’s financial statements effective immediately.
Prior to the closing of the Restructure, BDO USA
was the independent accountants for Newegg. The Audit Committee determined that because the Company financial statements are tantamount
to the financial statements of Newegg after the closing, for reasons of continuity, BDO USA should be appointed as the new independent
registered public accounting firm of the Company.
During the LLIT’s two most recent fiscal
years and through the subsequent interim period to May 19, 2021, LLIT did not consult BDO USA with respect to (a) the application of
accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on
the LLIT’s consolidated financial statements, and neither a written report was provided to LLIT or oral advice was provided that
BDO USA concluded was an important factor considered by LLIT in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting
issue; or (b) any matter that was the subject of either a disagreement as defined in Item 16F(a)(1)(iv) of Form 20-F or a reportable
event as described in Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of Form 20-F.
