Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu is a registered public accounting firm headquartered in China, a jurisdiction where the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) determined that it was unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered there, including Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, until December 2022 when the PCAOB vacated its previous determination.

As of April28, 2023, none ofthe directors and senior management of the Company beneficially owned any issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the Company.

To the Company’s knowledge based on its register of members and public filings made by its shareholders, no other shareholder beneficially owned 5% or more of the Company’s total issued and outstanding ordinary shares as of April28, 2023. Please refer to “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees-E.
