PCAOB firm ID 1171 PCAOB identification number for WWC, P.C. as stated in its letter to the SEC
independent registered public accounting firm regulatory
"appointed Prouden HK Limited as its independent registered public accounting firm"
An independent registered public accounting firm is an outside accounting company officially registered with the government regulator to examine and report on a public company's financial records and controls. Investors treat its reports like an impartial inspector’s certificate — they add credibility to financial statements, help spot errors or misleading claims, and reduce the risk that shareholders are relying on unchecked or biased numbers.
material weaknesses financial
"as a result of the existence of material weaknesses described in Item 15"
Material weaknesses are significant flaws in a company’s systems for ensuring its financial reports are accurate and reliable. Like a broken lock on a safe, they increase the chance that financial statements contain big errors or omissions, which can mislead investors about performance and risk; discovering one often raises questions about management oversight, may lead to restated results, and can affect investor confidence and a company’s valuation.
internal control over financial reporting financial
"report of WWC on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting"
Internal control over financial reporting is a company’s system of procedures and checks designed to make sure its financial statements are accurate and complete, like a set of guardrails and verification steps that catch mistakes or fraud before numbers are published. Investors care because strong controls make reported results more trustworthy, lower the risk of surprise restatements or regulatory problems, and give greater confidence when valuing the company or comparing it to peers.
reportable events regulatory
"no reportable events (as defined in Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of Form 20-F)"
Reportable events are significant incidents or changes a company is legally required to disclose to regulators and the public, such as major safety problems, legal actions, financial irregularities, or management changes. They matter to investors because these events can alter a company’s risk profile or future performance, much like a dashboard warning light signals a problem that could affect a car’s safety or reliability. Timely disclosure helps investors make informed decisions and maintain market fairness.
Form 20-F regulatory
"Item 15 of the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F"
Form 20-F is the standardized annual disclosure that non-U.S. companies must file with the U.S. securities regulator when their shares are traded in the U.S.; it contains audited financial statements, a plain-language description of the business, management discussion, governance details and key risk factors. It matters to investors because it provides a consistent, comparable company “report card” and rulebook, helping buyers assess financial health, governance and risks before investing.

Change of Auditor

 

Amber International Holding Limited (Nasdaq: AMBR) (“Amber International” or the “Company”) today announced that it has appointed Prouden HK Limited (“Prouden”) as its independent registered public accounting firm, effective July 28, 2026. Prouden replaces WWC, P.C. (“WWC”), the former independent registered public accounting firm of the Company, which the Company dismissed on the same date. The change of the Company’s independent auditor has been approved by the audit committee of the board of directors of the Company.

 

The audit report of WWC on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. The report of WWC on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 expressed an adverse opinion as a result of the existence of material weaknesses described in Item 15 of the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 and the subsequent interim period through July 28, 2026, there have been (i) no disagreements (as defined in Item 16F(a)(1)(iv) of Form 20-F and the related instructions thereto) with WWC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of WWC, would have caused it to make reference thereto in its reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for such years, and (ii) no reportable events (as defined in Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of Form 20-F), except for the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting disclosed in Item 15 of the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

 

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 and the subsequent interim period through July 28, 2026, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted with Prouden regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and neither a written report was provided to the Company nor oral advice was provided to the Company that Prouden concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 16F(a)(1)(iv) of the instructions to Form 20-F), or a reportable event (as defined in Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of the instructions to Form 20-F).

 

The Company provided WWC with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and requested that WWC furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the foregoing disclosures. A copy of WWC’s letter, dated July 28, 2026, is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
