This current report on Form 6-K is being filed to disclose the home country rule exemption of Wah Fu Education Group Limited (the “Company”) that it intends to disclose in its annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021.

 

As a business company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands that is listed on Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”), the Company is subject to Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards. Under Nasdaq rules, listed non-U.S. companies may, in general, follow their home country corporate governance practices in lieu of some of the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements. Pursuant to the home country rule exemption set forth under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5615(a)(3)(A), which provides (with certain exceptions not relevant to the conclusions expressed herein) that a Foreign Private Issuer may follow its home country practice in lieu of the requirements of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5600 Series, the Company has elected to be exempt from the requirements as follows:

 

(a)

Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5620 which provides that (with certain exceptions not relevant to the conclusions expressed herein) each company listing common stock or voting preferred stock, and their equivalents, shall hold an annual meeting of shareholders no later than one year after the end of the company's fiscal year-end.

 

	(b)	Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635 sets forth the circumstances under which shareholder approval is required prior to an issuance of securities in connection with: (i) the acquisition of the stock or assets of another company; (ii) equity-based compensation of officers, directors, employees or consultants; (iii) a change of control; and (iv) transactions other than public offerings; and
	(c)	Nasdaq Listing Rule 5615(a)(3)(A) provides (with certain exceptions not relevant to the conclusions expressed herein) that a Foreign Private Issuer may follow its home country practice in lieu of the requirements of the Rule 5600 Series, the requirement to disclose third party director and nominee compensation set forth in Rule 5250(b)(3), and the requirement to distribute annual and interim reports set forth in Rule 5250(d), provided, however, that such a Company shall: comply with the Notification of Noncompliance requirement (Rule 5625), the Voting Rights requirement (Rule 5640), have an audit committee that satisfies Rule 5605(c)(3), and ensure that such audit committee's members meet the independence requirement in Rule 5605(c)(2)(A)(ii) and that Nasdaq Information Memorandum IM-5615-3 provides that a Foreign Private Issuer that elects to follow country practice in lieu of a requirement of Rules 5600, 5250(b)(3) or 5250(d) shall submit to Nasdaq a written statement from an independent counsel in such company's home country certifying that the company's practices are not prohibited by the home country's laws.

 

Except for the foregoing, we endeavor to comply with the Nasdaq corporate governance practices and except for the foregoing, there is no significant difference between our corporate governance practices and what the Nasdaq requires of domestic U.S. companies. A copy of the home country rule exemption letter from the Company’s legal counsel is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
