Boqii Provides Update on its Status under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act
SHANGHAI, August 1, 2022 -- Boqii Holding Limited ("Boqii" or the "Company") (NYSE: BQ), a leading pet-focused platform in China, today provides an update on its status under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the “HFCAA”).
The Company is aware that it has been identified by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act of the United States (the "HFCAA") on July 29, 2022. Such identification may have resulted from the Company's filing of the annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022.
The Company understands that the SEC made such identification pursuant to the HFCAA and its implementation rules issued thereunder. This indicates that the SEC has determined that the Company used an auditor, whose working paper cannot be inspected or investigated completely by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board of the United States (the "PCAOB"), to issue the audit opinion for the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31,2022.
In accordance with the HFCAA, a company will be delisted from a U.S. stock exchange if such company has been identified by the SEC for three consecutive years due to PCAOB's inability to inspect the auditor’s working paper.
Boqii will continue to monitor developments and has been actively exploring possible solutions to best protect the interest of its stakeholders. The Company also notes that this update has no impact on its business operations. Boqii will continue to comply with applicable laws and regulations in both China and the United States, and strive to maintain its listing status on the New York Stock Exchange.
