Re: List of Shareholders
We, lawyers from Grandway Law Offices, have been CLPS’ legal counsel in the People’s Republic of China since 2020.
Per your work instruction, we have reviewed the List of Shareholders of the CLPS as of November 16, 2022, and had discussions with the management team of CLPS regarding CLPS’ ownership. By our knowledge and understanding, and concurred by the management team, we believe that the Chinese central, provincial, or local government directly or beneficially holds no share of the CLPS.
Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any further questions.
