Item 8.01 Other Events.

Regulators in France Lift Injunction

In November 2021, France’s Directorate General for Competition, Consumer Affairs and Repression of Fraud (“DGCCRF”) issued an injunction delisting the Wish “App” from Google Play and the Apple App Store, and blocking Wish from appearing in Google, Bing and Qwant search results on the premise that unsafe products or products of poor quality are available for purchase on Wish. On March 10, 2023, the DGCCRF determined that the Company is in compliance with the injunction and applicable regulatory requirements, and lifted the injunction. As a result, Company has been relisted and has returned to the application stores, such as Google Play and the Apple App Store, and search engines, such as Google, Bing and Qwant, in France.

Wish and French Regulators Reach Settlement in Criminal Case

In December 2021, France’s DGCCRF charged Wish with legal violations relating to the Company’s former practice and use of strikethrough pricing, the Company’s previous failure to translate into French listings and product details on the Company’s app and website, and the Company’s anti-counterfeiting policies and practices. The Company reached an amicable monetary settlement with DGCCRF on this matter and on March 10, 2023, the Court approved the settlement of EUR 3,000,000 assessed to the Company, and EUR 250,000 assessed to the Company's former Chief Executive Officer, Piotr Szulczewski.

Motion to Dismiss Granted in Securities Class Action Case

Beginning in May 2021, four putative class action lawsuits were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against the Company, its directors, certain of its officers and the underwriters named in its initial public offering (“IPO”) registration statement alleging violations of securities laws based on statements made in its registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC in connection with its IPO and seeking monetary damages. One of these cases has since been dismissed by the plaintiff and the remaining three have been coordinated and consolidated. In May 2022, the Court appointed lead plaintiffs, who subsequently filed an amended consolidated class action complaint pursuant to Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act and Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act. A hearing was held in January 2023 on the Company’s motion to dismiss and, on March 10, 2023, the Court granted the motion to dismiss without prejudice, allowing the plaintiffs 30 days to amend their complaint.
