Exhibit 99.2
Xinyuan Real Estate Co., Ltd. Announces Appointment of Independent Auditor
Beijing, December 28, 2022 -- Xinyuan Real Estate Co., Ltd. (“Xinyuan” or “the Company”) (NYSE: XIN), an NYSE-listed real estate developer operating primarily in China and also in other countries, announces the
appointment of Assentsure PAC (“Assentsure”) as its independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.
Union Power HK CPA Limited (“Union Power”), the Company’s independent auditor for the fiscal years 2020 and 2021, proposed to continue working with it for the fiscal year 2022. However, its proposal reflected an
increase in the service fees. The Company’s audit committee solicited proposals from other accounting firms and conducted an evaluation process in connection with the selection of the Company’s independent auditor. After careful consideration, the
Company’s audit committee recommended, the Company’s board of directors approved and the shareholders ratified by an ordinary resolution at the 2022 annual general meeting of shareholders held on December 28, 2022, the appointment of Assentsure as
the Company’s independent auditor for the financial year 2022.
On December 28, 2022, Union Power resigned and Assentsure was engaged to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year 2022.
As of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, there were no disagreements, as defined in Item 16F(a)(1)(iv) of Form 20-F and the related instructions, between the Company and Union Power on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.
The Company’s business continues to operate as usual. The Company believes that its business operations and fundamentals are not affected by the change of auditor. The Company is working closely with Union Power and
Assentsure to ensure a seamless transition and intends to work diligently with Assentsure to file its annual report for the period ended December 31, 2022.
