Zhitong Finance App News, Gudou Holdings (08308) issued an announcement. However, considering the audit work for the year ended December 31, 2024, the company and PricewaterhouseCoopers negotiated the audit fee. However, the company and PricewaterhouseCoopers were unable to reach a consensus on the Group's audit fees for the financial year ended December 31, 2024. After considering the facts and related circumstances, the Company's Audit Committee, after being authorized to monitor the costs and benefits of the external auditor, concluded that replacing PricewaterhouseCoopers as another accounting firm would be in the overall interests of the company and its shareholders. This will make our audit costs more economical, and we still have the proper qualifications and experience to carry out the company's audit work. The Audit Committee also recommended to the board of directors to seek shareholders' approval to dismiss PricewaterhouseCoopers as the auditor of the company and any of its subsidiaries. The board of directors resolved on December 30, 2024 to remove PricewaterhouseCoopers as the group's auditor, subject to shareholders' approval at the special shareholders' meeting.

It is further proposed to appoint a pioneer as a group auditor to fill the vacancy that occurred after the proposed dismissal came into effect and to hold office until the end of the next annual general meeting of shareholders of the company.
