VOLUNTARY ANNOUNCEMENT
SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION OF
INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION
Reference is made to the announcement issued by MINISO Group Holding Limited (“MINISO” or the “Company”) on July 27, 2022 in relation to a short seller report (the “Report”) published by Blue Orca Capital, a short seller, in which the Company announced the formation of an Independent Committee by the Company’s board of directors to oversee an independent investigation regarding the allegations made in the Report (“Independent Investigation”).
Reference is also made to the announcement issued by the Company on July 28, 2022, in which the Company summarized its preliminary findings rebutting the Report’s key allegations.
This announcement is issued by the Company today to provide an update on the status of the previously announced Independent Investigation.
The Independent Investigation, overseen by the Independent Committee and conducted with the assistance of an international law firm and forensic accounting experts from a well-regarded forensic accounting firm that is not the Company’s auditor, is now substantially complete. Based on the findings of the Independent Investigation, which encompassed allegations regarding the Company’s franchise business model and land deals involving the Company’s chairman, the Independent Committee has concluded that the Report’s key allegations were not substantiated.
