This filing provides an update following the previously disclosed resignation of Ms. Jing Zhou from the board and its committees on January 27, 2026. The key new information is the company's decision to utilize a home country practice exemption, allowing its audit committee to consist of two independent directors instead of the three required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A). While permitted for foreign private issuers, this reliance on an exemption for a critical governance committee may be viewed as a less robust governance structure by some investors, potentially raising questions about corporate oversight standards.
