GUANGZHOU, China, May 5, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- HUYA Inc. ("Huya" or the "Company") (NYSE:
HUYA), a leading game live streaming platform in China, today provides an update on its status
under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the
"HFCAA").
Huya is aware that the Company has been identified by the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the
HFCAA on May 4, 2022. Huya
understands such identification may result from its filing of the
annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.
Huya understands the SEC made such identification pursuant to
the HFCAA and its implementation rules issued thereunder, and this
indicates that the SEC determines that the Company used an auditor
whose working paper cannot be inspected or investigated completely
by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the "PCAOB"), to
issue the audit opinion for its financial statements for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2021.
In accordance with the HFCAA, a company will be delisted from a
U.S. stock exchange only if the company has been identified by the
SEC for three consecutive years due to the PCAOB's inability to
inspect auditor's working paper.
Huya has been actively exploring possible solutions. The Company
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.
