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.

TuSimple Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) has determined that it is unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023 (the “Form 10-Q”) by the prescribed due date because the Company requires additional time to finalize the Form 10-Q in light of the Company’s recent engagement of a new independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, as previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 11, 2023 (the “Form 8-K”).

As disclosed in the Form 8-K, the Company intends to file the Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2022 and its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (collectively, the “2022 Reports”) as soon as practicable. Once the 2022 Reports are completed, the Company plans to file the Form 10-Q as soon as practicable thereafter.

Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s).    Yes  ☐    No  ☒

(3)

Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?    Yes  ☒    No  ☐

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

For the reasons set forth in Part III above, the Company is still in the process of preparing the 2022 Reports. In addition, information regarding the results of operations for the quarterly period ended March 30, 2023 will not be finalized until after the Company has completed its financial reporting processes for the 2022 Reports.

This report contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the Company’s expected financial results. These statements are based on current expectations as of the date of this report and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, which may cause results to differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements. Many important factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this report, including but not limited to those related to the new independent registered public accounting firm’s ability to complete its reviews and audit on the timeline anticipated, the Company’s ability to complete the 2022 Reports and the Form 10-Q within the anticipated time period, Nasdaq’s decision regarding whether and when to grant and schedule a hearing before the Hearings Panel, the Company’s ability to regain compliance with Nasdaq listing standards, the Company’s restructuring plan including potential cost-savings, autonomous driving being an emerging technology, the development of the Company’s technologies and products, the Company’s limited operating history in a new market, the regulations governing autonomous vehicles, changes in the Company’s board of directors and senior management, the Company’s dependence on its senior management team, reliance on third-party suppliers, potential product liability or warranty claims, the protection of the Company’s intellectual property, securities class action litigation, strategic alternatives for the Company’s Asia business, and government or regulatory policies, inquiries and actions. Moreover, the Company operates in a competitive and rapidly changing environment, and new risks may emerge from time to time. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive.

You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described under the caption “Risk Factors” in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 24, 2022, and the Company’s other filings with the SEC. These SEC filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and we assume no obligation and do not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. We do not give any assurance that we will achieve our expectations.
