Bilibili Provides Update on Status Under Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act
SHANGHAI, China, May 5, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) Bilibili Inc. (Bilibili or the Company) (NASDAQ: BILI and HKEX: 9626), an iconic brand and a leading video community for young generations in China, today provides an update on the Companys status under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the HFCAA).
On May 4, 2022 U.S. Eastern Time, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) provisionally named the Company as a Commission-Identified Issuer under the HFCAA, following the Companys filing of its annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (the 2021 Form 20-F).
The Company 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 of the United States (PCAOB) to issue the audit opinion for the Companys financial statements included in the 2021 Form 20-F.
In accordance with the HFCAA, if the SEC determines that the Company filed audit reports 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 (ADSs) of the Company from being traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter trading market in the United States.
The Companys ADSs, each representing one Class Z ordinary share, have been quoted on the Nasdaq Global Selected Market (the Nasdaq) system under the symbol BILI since March 2018. The Companys Class Z ordinary shares have been listed on The Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the Hong Kong Stock Exchange) under the symbol 9626 since March 2021. The Companys Class Z ordinary shares listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the Companys ADSs quoted on the Nasdaq are mutually fungible. 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 both Nasdaq and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
