EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 20-F/A (the “Amendment”) is being filed by Opera Limited (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) to amend the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, originally accepted for filing by U.S. Securities Exchange Commission on June 11, 2021 (the “Original Filing”). The Company is filing this Amendment to include the financial statements and related notes of NanoCred Cayman Company Limited (“Nanobank”), as required by Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Rule 3-09”).

 

Rule 3-09 requires, among other things, that separate financial statements for unconsolidated subsidiaries and investees accounted for by the equity method to be included in the Form 20-F when such entities are individually significant. We have determined that our equity method investment in Nanobank, which is not consolidated in our financial statements, was significant under Rule 1-02(w) and Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X in relation to our financial results for the year ended December 31, 2020. This Amendment is therefore filed to supplement the Original Filing with the inclusion of the financial statements and related notes of Nanobank for the period ended December 31, 2020 (the “Financial Statements of Nanobank”).

 

This Form 20-F/A consists solely of the cover page, this explanatory note, the Financial Statements of Nanobank, certifications by our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as well as the independent auditor consent. This Amendment does not affect any other parts of, or exhibits to, the Original Filing, nor does it reflect events occurring after the date of the Original Filing, except for the inclusion of Exhibit 99.1. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing and with our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent to the Original Filing.
