1. Reasons for Applying for Delisting
The Company listed its ADRs on NASDAQ in August 2023 to access the U.S. capital markets and raise capital through its initial public offering, while benefiting from the increased visibility and credibility of being listed on a major U.S. exchange. Since then, the Company has taken steps to uphold active information disclosure to its shareholders and investors, including the fulfillment of disclosure obligations under the Securities Exchange Act, the preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and the establishment of internal control systems as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
