Item 16I. | Disclosure Regarding Foreign Jurisdictions That Prevent Inspections |
In May 2022, JD.com, Inc. was conclusively listed by the SEC as a Commission-Identified Issuer under the HFCAA following the filing of our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. Our auditor, a registered public accounting firm that the PCAOB was unable to inspect or investigate completely in 2021 because of a position taken by an authority in the foreign jurisdiction, issued the audit report for us for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB issued a report that vacated its December 16, 2021 determination and removed the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong from the list of jurisdictions where it is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms. For this reason, we do not expect to be identified as a Commission-Identified Issuer under the HFCAA after we file this annual report on Form 20-F.
As of the date of this annual report: (i) CCTAM Fund SPC, an entity incorporated in the Cayman Islands and indirectly wholly owned and controlled by a governmental entity in the Chinese mainland held approximately 0.54% of equity interest in JD Property, our subsidiary incorporated in the Cayman Islands in which we held approximately 75.0% of the equity interest. Other than CCTAM Fund SPC’s shareholding in JD Property, no governmental entities in any of the Cayman Islands, the British Virgin Islands, Hong Kong S.A.R. or the Chinese mainland own any share in JD.com, Inc. or any of our principal consolidated foreign operating entities to our knowledge; (ii) no governmental entities in China have a controlling financial interest in JD.com, Inc. or any of our consolidated foreign operating entities; (iii) to our knowledge, none of the members of the board of directors of JD.com, Inc. or our consolidated foreign operating entities is an official of the Chinese Communist Party; and (iv) the currently effective memorandum and articles of association of our company and equivalent organizational documents of our consolidated foreign operating entities do not contain any charter of the Chinese Communist Party.
