Engagement is part of I-Mab’s commitment to transition to a U.S.-based biotech <\/i><\/p>\n

PwC to serve as independent registered public accounting firm for FY 2024<\/i><\/p>\n

ROCKVILLE, Md.<\/span><\/span>, Aug. 7, 2024<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ —\u00a0I-Mab (NASDAQ: IMAB) (“I-Mab”, the “Company”), a U.S.-based, global biotech company, exclusively focused on the development and potential commercialization of highly differentiated immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer, today announced that the Audit Committee of its Board of Directors has approved the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (U.S.) (“PwC US”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024<\/span>, effective immediately.<\/p>\n

\n<\/p><\/div>\n

“I-Mab continues to achieve excellent progress towards our strategic objective of becoming a U.S.-based biotech,” said Sean Fu<\/span>, PhD, Board Member and Interim Chief Executive Officer<\/span> <\/b>of I-Mab. “The appointment of PwC US as our U.S. auditor is another important milestone in this transition, underscoring our progress and commitment to the strategy and vision defined by the Board.”<\/p>\n

I-Mab expects that the transition to a U.S. audit firm will enable the Company to continue to comply with the audit requirements of the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act and facilitate the continued transition of the Company to a full-fledged U.S.-based biotech company. This transition was not the result of any disagreements, reportable events, modified opinions, or unresolved matters with the Company’s previous auditor, and no matters regarding the transition need to be brought to the attention of the Company’s shareholders.<\/p>\n

“We are enthusiastic to work with PwC US and believe that their engagement as our U.S. auditor aligns with the long-term interests of our shareholders,” said <\/span>Joseph Skelton<\/span>, Chief Financial Officer<\/b> of I-Mab. “We continue to grow and advance our organization and corporate governance with a focus on supporting I-Mab’s long-term growth and look forward to keeping investors up to date on our progress.”<\/p>\n
