Supplemental Submission Pursuant to Item 9C(a) of Form 10-K

 

GoLogiq, Inc. (the “Company”) is submitting to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) the following information as required under Item 9C(a) of Form 10-K in relation to the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act:

 

On May 13, 2022, the Company was conclusively identified by the SEC as a Commission-Identified Issuer pursuant to the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the “HFCAA”) because it filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K containing audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 with an audit report by Centurion ZD CPA & Co. (“Centurion”). Centurion is a Hong Kong-based public accounting firm previously deemed to be inaccessible for complete inspection by the PCAOB due to an authority’s position in the foreign jurisdiction.

The inability of the PCAOB to inspect or investigate our auditor subjected the company to restrictions under the HFCAA, including the risk of having the Company’s shares subject to a trading prohibition.

 

However, in August 2022, the PCAOB signed a Statement of Protocol with the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the Ministry of Finance of the People’s Republic of China, taking the first step toward opening access for the PCAOB to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong. From September to November 2022, PCAOB staff conducted on-site inspections and investigations of Centurion.

 

In December 2022, the PCAOB announced that it had obtained complete access to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms in mainland China and Hong Kong. It also confirmed that, until new determinations are issued by the PCAOB, no Commission-Identified Issuers, including the Company, are at risk of trading prohibition under the HFCAA.

 

As of the date of this report, GoLogiq, Inc. is not owned or controlled by a governmental entity in a foreign jurisdiction. We have no awareness or belief any governmental entity in a foreign jurisdiction owns shares of our capital stock. Similarly, no official from a governmental entity in a foreign jurisdiction serves as a board member or officer within our Company or its operating subsidiaries. Based on the absence of a Schedule 13D or 13G filing by any such governmental entity, the lack of material contracts with foreign governmental parties, and the absence of foreign government representation on our board of directors, we have determined that no governmental entity, including but not limited to, mainland China or Hong Kong has the power to direct or control our management, policies, or possess a controlling financial interest.
