 effectiveness of these accounting firms’ audit procedures or quality control procedures as compared to auditors outside of the mainland China and Hong Kong that are subject to the PCAOB inspections, which could cause existing and potential investors in our Shares to lose confidence in our audit procedures and reported financial information and the quality of our financial statements. On December 29, 2022, the AHFCA Act was enacted, which amended the HFCA Act by requiring the SEC to prohibit an issuer’s securities from trading on any U.S. stock exchanges if its auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three, and thus, reduced the time before our Ordinary Shares may be prohibited from trading or delisted. The SEC is assessing how to implement other requirements of the HFCA Act, including the listing and trading prohibition requirements described above. Future developments in respect of increasing U.S. regulatory access to audit information are uncertain, as the legislative developments are subject to the legislative process and the regulatory developments are subject to the rule -makingprocess and other administrative procedures. While we understand there has been dialogue among the CSRC, the SEC, and the PCAOB regarding the inspection of PCAOB registered accounting firms in mainland China and Hong Kong, there can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with requirements imposed by U.S. regulators if there is significant change to current political arrangements between mainland China and Hong Kong or if any component of our auditor’s work papers become located in mainland China in the future. Delisting of our Ordinary Shares would force holders of our Ordinary Shares to sell their Ordinary Shares. The market price of our Ordinary Shares could be adversely affected as a result of anticipated negative impacts of these executive or legislative actions, regardless of whether these executive or legislative actions are implemented and regardless of our actual operating performance. Recent joint statement by the SEC and PCAOB, and the HFCA Act all call for additional and more stringent criteria to be applied to emerging market companies upon assessing the qualification of their auditors, especially the non-U .S. auditors who are not inspected by the PCAOB. The AHFCA Act was enacted on December 29, 2022. On December 29, 2022, the “Consolidated Appropriations Act was signed into law, which contained, among other things, an identical provision to the AHFCA Act and amended the HFCA Act by requiring the SEC to prohibit an issuer’s securities from trading on any U.S. stock exchanges if its auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years
