NIO Provides Update on Status under Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act
May 05 2022 - 4:30AM
NIO Inc. (“NIO” or the “Company”) (NYSE: NIO; HKEX: 9866), a
pioneer and a leading company in the premium smart electric vehicle
market, today provides an update on its status under the Holding
Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the “HFCAA”).
NIO is aware that the Company has been
provisionally identified by the SEC under the HFCAA on
May 4, 2022 U.S. Eastern Time. The Company understands such
identification may result from its filing of the annual report on
Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.
NIO 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
PCAOB, to issue the audit opinion for its financial statements for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.
In accordance with the HFCAA, if the SEC
determines that the Company filed an annual report containing an
audit report issued by a registered public accounting firm that has
not been subject to inspection for the PCAOB for three consecutive
years beginning in 2021, the SEC shall prohibit the shares or
American depositary shares of the Company from being traded on a
national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter trading
market in the United States.
NIO has been actively exploring possible
solutions to protect the interest of its stakeholders. On March 10,
2022, the Company completed a secondary listing of its Class A
ordinary shares on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange
(the “HKEX”) under the stock code “9866.” The Class A ordinary
shares listed on the HKEX are fully fungible with the ADSs listed
on the NYSE.
NIO will continue to comply with applicable laws and regulations
in both China and the United States, and strive to
maintain its listing status on both the NYSE and the HKEX in
compliance with applicable listing rules.
