Re: ZKH Group Limited
Registration Statement on Form F-1
(CIK Number: 0001862044)
Representations Made Pursuant to Instruction 2 to Item 8.A.4 of Form 20-F

 

To whom it may concern:

 

ZKH Group Limited is an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands with limited liability (the “Company”). In connection with the proposed initial public offering of the Company’s ordinary shares to be represented by American depositary shares (the “Offering”), the Company hereby respectfully makes the representations to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) required by Instruction 2 to Item 8.A.4 of Form 20-F, which states that in the case of a company’s initial public offering (“IPO”), a company may comply with only the 15-month requirement in Item 8.A.4 of Form 20-F if the company is able to make the representations specified by Instruction 2 to Item 8.A.4 of Form 20-F.

 

The Company’s initial confidential submission of the draft registration statement on Form F-1 (the “Draft Registration Statement”) on the date hereof contained audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

In submitting the Draft Registration Statement, the Company is complying with the 15-month requirement, rather than the 12-month requirement, with respect to the last year of audited financial statements. The Company is submitting this representation letter pursuant to Instruction 2 to Item 8.A.4 of Form 20-F, which provides that “[a] company may comply with only the 15-month requirement in this item if the company is able to represent that it is not required to comply with the 12-month requirement in any other jurisdiction outside the United States and that complying with the 12-month requirement is impracticable or involves undue hardship.”
