FinVolution Provides Update on its Status under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act

FinVolution Group has provided an update on its status under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the HFCAA).

The Company is aware that it has been identified by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under the HFCAA as a Commission-Identified Issuer on May 4, 2022, New York time, following the Company's filing of its annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

FinVolution understands that the SEC made such identification pursuant to the HFCAA and its implementation rules issued thereunder, and this indicates that the SEC determines that the Company used an auditor whose working paper cannot be inspected or investigated completely by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the "PCAOB") to issue the audit opinion for its financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

In accordance with the HFCAA, a company will be delisted from a U.S. stock exchange if such company has been identified by the SEC for three consecutive years due to PCAOB's inability to inspect auditor's working paper.

FinVolution has been actively exploring possible solutions. The Company will continue to comply with applicable laws and regulations in both China and the United States, said the firm in a press release.
