PART III – NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
Xinyuan Real Estate Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) has been working diligently to complete its annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Form 20-F”). However, its
independent auditor requires additional time to complete its audit of the financial statements for the 2021 Form 20-F. The independent auditor has had less time than it typically would have to complete the audit because of the Company’s delayed
filing of its annual report for 2020 on Form 20-F which it filed on March 8, 2022. In addition, the audit process has been disrupted by the safety measures and travel restrictions put in place by municipal governments in China as a result of the
COVID-19 outbreak in multiple cities in China in 2022, which has not allowed the auditors to perform onsite procedures. These delays could not be eliminated by the Company without unreasonable effort and expense. Therefore, the Company is unable to
timely file its 2021 Form 20-F.
