Change of Auditor

On December 15, 2021, First High-School Education Group Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) dismissed KPMG Huazhen LLP (“KPMG”) and on the same date, the Company appointed Audit Alliance LLP (“Audit Alliance”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2021.

During the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2020, and the subsequent interim period through December 15, 2021, there were no: (1) disagreements with KPMG on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures that, which disagreements if not resolved to their satisfaction would have caused them to make reference in connection with their opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement; or (2) reportable events, except that KPMG advised the Company of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting with respect to the lack of sufficient number of financial reporting personnel with appropriate knowledge, experience and training of U.S. GAAP and SEC financial reporting requirements. The audit reports of KPMG on the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

The change of the Company’s independent auditor was made after careful consideration and evaluation process and was approved by the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) and the audit committee of the Board. The Company is working closely with Audit Alliance and KPMG to ensure a seamless transition.
