Changes in Company’s Certifying Accountant.

 

Previous independent registered public accounting firm

 

On July 12, 2024, the audit committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the board of directors (“Board”) of TuanChe Limited (the “Company”) approved the dismissal of Marcum Asia CPAs LLP. (“MarcumAsia”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective July 8, 2024. The auditor’s report of MarcumAsia on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that the audit report contained an uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023 and through the subsequent interim period preceding MarcumAsia’s dismissal, there were no “disagreements” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) between the Company and MarcumAsia on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of MarcumAsia would have caused MarcumAsia to make reference to the subject matter thereof in its reports for such fiscal years and interim period.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023 and through the subsequent interim period preceding the dismissal of MarcumAsia, there were no “reportable events” within the meaning of Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of Form 20-F, other than material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, occurred within the two fiscal years of the Company ended December 31, 2022 and 2023 and subsequently up to the date of dismissal.

 

We furnished a copy of this disclosure to MarcumAsia and have requested that MarcumAsia furnish us with a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) stating whether such firm agrees with the above statements or, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. We have received the requested letter from MarcumAsia, and a copy of the letter is filed with this report on Form 6-K as Exhibit 99.1.

 

New independent registered public accounting firm

 

On July 12, 2024, the Audit Committee approved the engagement of JWF Assurance PAC (“JWF”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023 and through the subsequent interim period preceding JWF’s engagement, the Company has not consulted with JWF regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report was provided to the Company nor oral advice was provided that JWF concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
