TuanChe Announces Management Change

 

BEIJING, June 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- TuanChe Limited (the "Company" or "TuanChe") (NASDAQ:TC), a leading omni-channel automotive marketplace in China, today announced that the Company's board of directors (the "Board") has appointed Mr. Chenxi Yu, the Company's current financial controller, to serve as the deputy chief financial officer (the "Deputy CFO") in charge of corporate finance and financial reporting of the Company, effective June 15, 2020.  Mr. Yu's appointment follows the resignation of Mr. Troy Mao, the Company's current chief financial officer, which will become effective on June 15, 2020. Mr. Mao and Mr. Yu will work together to ensure an orderly transition of duties.

 

Mr. Mao resigned from his current position at the Company for personal reasons, which did not result from any disagreement with the Company on any matters relating to the Company's business performance, financial reporting or controls, where the Company has built a strong finance function.

 

Mr. Yu has extensive experience in corporate accounting and financial reporting. Mr. Yu was initially with the Company from January 2018 to January 2019 as a senior financial manager, and rejoined the Company in August 2019 as a financial controller. Prior to joining the Company, Mr. Yu held a number of full function corporate finance positions with Nokia China (2017), JLC limited (2014 to 2017), Base FX (2012-2014), and Microsoft MSN China (2011 to 2012). Mr. Yu received a bachelor's degree in management from University of Warwick in England in 2008 and a master's degree in accounting and finance from University of Northampton in England in 2011.

 

Mr. Wei Wen, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TuanChe, commented that, "On behalf of the Board and executive team, I would like to thank Troy for his contributions during his time at TuanChe and the key role he played during our initial public offering in 2018. We wish him the best in his future endeavors. Looking ahead, I am excited to have Mr. Yu as our Deputy CFO. Mr. Yu's in-depth knowledge and extensive experience in corporate finance makes him an excellent choice for this important role and we are confident that he will effectively help further strengthen our finance function."
