As previously disclosed on December 31, 2021, Cenntro Electric Group Limited ACN 619 054 938 (formerly known as Naked Brand Group Limited (“NBG”)) (the “Company”) completed its acquisition (the “Combination”) of the outstanding capital stock of three entities comprising Cenntro Automotive Group (“Cenntro”) and changed its name from Naked Brand Group Limited to Cenntro Electric Group Limited. The Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and, under such method of accounting, Cenntro was treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes. As a result, following the consummation of the Combination, Cenntro’s financial statements became the financial statements of the Company. Additionally, as previously reported, in connection with the closing of the Combination, the board of directors of the Company adopted resolutions approving the change in the Company’s fiscal year from January 31 to December 31, to match the historical fiscal year of Cenntro.

Prior to the closing of the Combination, BDO Audit Pty Ltd (“BDO”) served as the independent registered public accounting firm to NBG. On February 14, 2022, in light of the fact that Cenntro’s financial statements became the Company’s financial statements following the closing of the Combination, BDO notified the Company and the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (“ASIC”) of its intention to resign as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company, subject to the consent for its resignation from ASIC as required under the Australian Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (“Corporations Act”). On April 1, 2022, ASIC consented to BDO’s resignation and, on April 4, 2022, BDO’s resignation became effective.

The reports of BDO on the financial statements of NBG for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2021 and 2020 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and they were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that such report for the year ended January 31, 2020 included a paragraph regarding substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021 and the subsequent interim period preceding their resignation (including the year ended December 31, 2021), there was no disagreement between NBG and BDO, whether or not resolved to the satisfaction of BDO, on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of BDO, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with their report on our financial statements.

During NBG’s two most recent fiscal years or the subsequent interim period preceding BDO’s resignation (including the year ended December 31, 2021), there were no “reportable events” (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K) other than the material weakness in NBG’s internal controls identified for the periods ended January 31, 2021 and 2020, relating to (i) management’s lack of maintaining appropriate staffing in its accounting department with the appropriate level of technical expertise and experience, resulting in insufficient oversight of the financial reporting function, (ii) the lack of a formally implemented system of internal control over financial reporting and associated written documentation of such internal control policies and procedures, (iii) the lack of appropriate oversight by the board of directors, especially the audit committee, in ensuring remediation of weaknesses in its financial reporting and internal controls, (iv) the lack of design controls to understand and evaluate non-routine transactions and (v) the lack of regular compensation committee meetings held during the year, which material weaknesses were previously disclosed.

During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period preceding BDO’s resignation (including the year ended December 31, 2021), the Company did not consult MBP 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 financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that MBP concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) or a “reportable event” (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

The Company has provided BDO with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and has requested that BDO furnish it with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements set forth above and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of BDO’s letter, dated April 4, 2022, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this report.

The Audit Committee’s decision to engage MBP and BDO’s decision to resign was made as a result of the consummation of the Combination, including the reverse recapitalization nature of the Combination pursuant to which the historical financial statements of Cenntro became the historical financial statements of the Company.

The information contained in this Form 6-K shall be incorporated by reference in the Company’s registration statements on Form F-3 and F-1 (File Nos. 333-226192, 333-230757, 333-232229, 333-235801, 333-243751, 333-249490, 333-249547, 333-254245, 333-256258 and 333-262039) and the prospectuses included therein.
