Supplemental Submission pursuant to Item 16I(a) of Form 20-F

 

H World Group Limited (the “Company”) is submitting via EDGAR the following information as required under Item 16I(a) of Form 20-F.

 

On May 26, 2022, the Company was conclusively identified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as a Commission-Identified Issuer pursuant to the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act. The Company filed an annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2021 with the SEC on April 27, 2022, containing an audit report issued by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Certified Public Accountants LLP, a registered public accounting firm retained by the Company, for the preparation of the audit report on the Company’s financial statements included therein. Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Certified Public Accountants LLP is a registered public accounting firm headquartered in mainland China, a jurisdiction where the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) had determined that it was unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms that were headquartered there. The PCAOB subsequently vacated this determination in December 2022.

 

To the Company’s best knowledge and based on an examination of its register of members and public filings made by our shareholders, the Company believes that it is not owned or controlled by a governmental entity in China as of the date of this submission.

 

In addition, the Company is not aware of any governmental entity that is in possession of, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of the Company, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise.
