ATLINKS GROUP LIMITED
(Incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability)
(Stock Code: 8043)
CHANGE OF AUDITOR
This announcement is made by the board (the “ Board ”) of directors (the “ Directors ”) of Atlinks Group Limited (the “ Company ”) pursuant to Rule 17.50(4) of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on GEM of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.
RESIGNATION OF AUDITOR
The Board announces that PricewaterhouseCoopers (“ PwC ”) has resigned as auditor of the Company with effect from 21 June 2021 as the Company and PwC cannot reach a mutual agreement on the proposed audit fee for the financial year ending 31 December 2021.
The Company is incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and to the knowledge of the Board, there is no requirement under the laws of the Cayman Islands for the resigning auditor to confirm whether or not there is any circumstance connected with their resignation which they consider should be brought to the attention of the Company’s shareholders (the ‘‘ Shareholders ’’). PwC has, therefore, not issued such confirmation. The Board and the audit committee (the “ Audit Committee ”) of the Company have confirmed that, except for the proposed audit fee for the financial year ending 31 December 2021, there are no disagreements or unresolved matters between the Company and PwC, and that they are not aware of any matter in connection with the resignation of PwC that needs to be brought to the attention of the shareholders of the Company.
The Board would like to take this opportunity to express its sincere gratitude to PwC for its professional services and support during the past years.
APPOINTMENT OF AUDITOR
The Board further announces that with the recommendation of the Audit Committee, the Board has resolved to appoint KPMG as the new auditor of the Company with effect from 21 June 2021 to fill the casual vacancy following the resignation of PwC as auditor of the Company and to hold office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company.
The Board would like to take this opportunity to express its warm welcome to KPMG on its appointment as the auditor of the Company.
