In the proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) filed as an exhibit to a form 6-K by Acorn International, Inc. (the “Company”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on November 5, 2018 in relation to the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders, the Company reported that, as of the Record Date (i.e. November 2, 2018), 72,274,281 shares of the Company’s ordinary shares, par value US$0.01 per share, were issued and outstanding. The Company did not exclude the number of treasury shares in its calculation of the outstanding share number. Accordingly, the second sentence under the title “Record Date, Share Ownership, and Quorum” in the Proxy Statement should have been stated that (with marked text showing revisions):

 

“as of the Record Date, 72,274,281 shares of our ordinary shares, par value US$0.01 per share, were issued and outstanding, 47,914,580 of which were represented by ADSs; and 51,619,218 shares of our ordinary shares were outstanding, 34,473,080 of which were represented by ADSs.”

 

Except as described in this explanatory note, the information provided in the Proxy Statement was accurate as stated therein. To the extent that information in this explanatory note differs from or updates information contained in the Proxy Statement, the information in this explanatory note is more current. The Proxy Statement contains important additional information. This explanatory note should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement. Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them respectively in the Proxy Statement.
