Dear Sir/Madam,

In compliance with the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, Boqii Holding Limited (the “Company”) is submitting via EDGAR the following information as required under Item 16I(a) of Form 20-F.

In August 2022, the Company was conclusively identified by the SEC as a Commission Identified Issuer pursuant to the HFCAA because it filed an annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended March 31, 2022 with the SEC with an audit report issued by PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhong Tian LLP, a registered public accounting firm retained by the Company, for the preparation of the audit report on the Company’s financial statements included therein. PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhong Tian LLP is a registered public accounting firm headquartered in mainland China, a foreign jurisdiction where the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) determined that it had been unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered there until December 2022 when the PCAOB vacated its previous determination.

To the Company’s best knowledge and based on an examination of the Company’s register of members and public filings made by the Company’s shareholders, including reports of beneficial ownership on Schedule 13G, and where applicable, the amendments thereto, as well as inquiries to the relevant shareholders by the Company, (i) other than the following entities, no other person beneficially owned 5% or more of the Company’s outstanding shares, as of March 31, 2023; and (ii) except CMB, the Company is not aware of any of the following entities being owned or controlled by a governmental entity in mainland China as of the date of this submission:
