Lufax Receives NYSE Notice Regarding Late Filing of Annual Report on Form 20-F

SHANGHAI, May 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Lufax Holding Ltd ("Lufax" or the "Company") (NYSE:LU), a leading financial services enabler for small business owners in China, today announced that it received a notice from the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") that, as the Company has not timely filed its annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company is not fully in compliance the NYSE's continued listing standards at this time.

The Company will have until October 30, 2025 to file the annual report with the SEC and regain compliance with the NYSE's continued listing standards.  If the Company fails to file the annual report by October 30, 2025, the NYSE may grant the Company an extension until April 30, 2026. If the NYSE does not grant an extension after the Company fails to file the annual report by October 30, 2025, suspension and delisting procedures will commence pursuant to the procedures set out in Section 804.00 of the Listed Company Manual.  If the NYSE grants an extension but the Company fails to file the annual report by the end of the extension period, suspension and delisting procedures will also commence.  The Company intends to regain compliance with the NYSE's continued listing standards by filing the annual report within the NYSE's prescribed timelines.

The notice from the NYSE has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company's American depositary shares on the NYSE.

The Company was unable to file the annual report by the prescribed due date due to the proposed change in the Company's auditors. The board of directors of the Company has resolved to appoint Ernst & Young and Ernst & Young Hua Ming LLP as the new auditors of the Company, subject to the passing of an ordinary resolution at an extraordinary general meeting currently scheduled for June 25, 2025.  The Company expects to file its 2024 annual report promptly after the new auditors have completed their audit of the financial statements required to be included therein.
