EXEMPTION UNDER RULE 13.46(2) OF THE LISTING RULES
REGARDING 2021 ANNUAL REPORT
This announcement is issued pursuant to Note 4 to Rule 13.46(2) of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”).
Reference is made to the section headed “Summary – Rule 13.46(2) of the Listing Rules” in the prospectus of Zhihu Inc. (the “Company”) dated April 11, 2022 (the “Prospectus”). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this announcement shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Prospectus.
Rule 13.46(2) of the Listing Rules requires an overseas issuer to send an annual report or a summary financial report within four months after the end of the financial year to which the report relates (the “Annual Report Requirement”). Pursuant to Note 4 to Rule 13.46(2) of the Listing Rules, the Annual Report Requirement is not applicable to the Company in respect of the year ended December 31, 2021 as (i) the Company has included in the Prospectus the financial information required under Appendix 16 of the Listing Rules in relation to annual report in respect of the year ended December 31, 2021; (ii) the Company will not be in breach of its constitutional documents or laws and regulations of Cayman Islands or other regulatory requirements regarding its obligation to publish and distribute annual reports and accounts; and (iii) the Company has included in the Prospectus a statement as to whether it complies with the Corporate Governance Code in Appendix 14 to the Listing Rules and if not, the considered reasons for the deviation and explain how good corporate governance was achieved by means other than strict compliance with the code provision of the Corporate Governance Code.
As such, the Company hereby announces that it will not separately prepare and send an annual report or a summary financial report to its shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2021. Shareholders and potential investors of the Company are reminded that the financial results for the year ended December 31, 2021 were included in the Prospectus which is available for viewing on the website of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange at www.hkexnews.hk and our website at ir.zhihu.com.
