On December 29, 2023, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Chijet Motor Company, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the termination of UHY LLP (“UHY”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
UHY’s reports on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except that UHY’s report for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 included a paragraph indicating there was substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Furthermore, during the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and in the subsequent interim period through December 29, 2023, there have been no disagreements with UHY on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to UHY’s satisfaction, would have caused UHY to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports on the Company’s financial statements for such periods.
For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 and in the subsequent interim period through December 29, 2023, except for the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting reported by management in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of the Company’s Form F-4/A filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on March 24, 2023, there were no other “reportable events” as that term is described in Item 16F (a)(1)(v) of Form 20-F.
The Company provided UHY with a copy of the above disclosure and requested that UHY furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statement. A copy of UHY’s letter is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 6-K.
