HUYA Inc. Provides Update on Status under Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act

GUANGZHOU,China,May 5,2022 --HUYA Inc. ("Huya" or the "Company") (NYSE: HUYA),a leading game live streaming platform in China,today provides an update on its status under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the "HFCAA").

Huya is aware that the Company has been identified by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the HFCAA on May 4,2022. Huya understands such identification may result from its filing of the annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31,2021.

Huya understands the SEC made such identification pursuant to the HFCAA and its implementation rules issued thereunder,and this indicates that the SEC determines that the Company used an auditor whose working paper cannot be inspected or investigated completely by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the "PCAOB"),to issue the audit opinion for its financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31,2021.

In accordance with the HFCAA,a company will be delisted from a U.S. stock exchange only if the company has been identified by the SEC for three consecutive years due to the PCAOB's inability to inspect auditor's working paper.

Huya has been actively exploring possible solutions. The Company will continue to comply with applicable laws and regulations in both China and the United States,and strive to maintain its listing status on the New York Stock Exchange.
