    Response to the Staff’s Comments on
    Registration Statement on Amendment No. 3 to Form F-3
    Filed on May 30, 2025 (File No. 333-268111)

 

Dear Mr. Kim and Ms. Wirth,

 

On behalf of our client, Uxin Limited, a foreign private issuer organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), we submit to the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) this letter setting forth the Company’s responses to the comments contained in the Staff’s letter dated June 25, 2025, on the Company’s Amendment No. 3 to Registration Statement on Form F-3 filed on May 30, 2025 (the “Amendment No. 3”). The Staff’s comments are repeated below in bold and are followed by the Company’s responses.

 

Concurrently with the submission of this letter, the Company is filing herewith the Pre-Effective Amendment No. 4 to the Registration Statement (the “Amendment No. 4”), which reflects the revisions discussed in this letter and other developments, via EDGAR with the Commission.

 

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Amendment No. 4.

1.We note your revised disclosure here and on page 9 regarding the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, including that “[o]n December 15, 2022, the PCAOB announced that it was able to conduct inspections and investigations completely of PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong in 2022. Accordingly, the PCAOB vacated its previous 2021 Determinations. As a result, we were not at risk of having our securities subject to a trading prohibition under the HFCAA unless a new determination is made by the PCAOB.” However, we note that your auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhong Tian LLP, received a six-month suspension by the PCAOB, which was lifted in March 2025. Please revise to acknowledge the suspension and explain its impact on you, your securities, and your business. Include risk factor disclosure, as applicable.

 

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the Company’s auditor PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhong Tian LLP (“PwC Zhong Tian”) did not receive any administrative penalties from the PCAOB. Instead, on September 13, 2024, the Ministry of Finance of the PRC and the CSRC jointly announced administrative penalties related to PwC Zhong Tian. Such penalties were imposed due to PwC Zhong Tian’s work on another project, which was unrelated to the Company from any perspective. These penalties include, among others, a six-month suspension of certain of PwC Zhong Tian’s business operations in the PRC, which has been lifted in March 2025. Such administrative penalties imposed on PwC Zhong Tian have not had any impact on the Company, the Company’s securities, and the Company’s business.

2.We note your response to prior comment 1 and we reissue it. Your revised disclosure reflects that you “are in compliance with the existing PRC laws and regulations on cybersecurity, data security and personal data protection in all material respects.” Please revise to remove the materiality qualifier.

 

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on page 19 of Amendment No. 3.
