*In October 2019, CBAK Power received notice from Court of Changshou District, Chongqing that Chongqing Zhongrun Chemistry Co., Ltd (“Chongqing Zhongrun”) filed arbitration claims against the Company for failure to pay pursuant to the terms of the contract. The plaintiff sought a total amount of $0.4 million (RMB2,484,948), including material cost of $0.4 million (RMB2,397,660) and interest of $13,370 (RMB87,288). On October 31, 2019, CBAK Power and Chongqing Zhongrun reached an agreement that CBAK Power would pay the material cost by the end of December 31, 2019. In 2020, CBAK Power had paid $198,144 (RMB1,293,600). In August 2020, upon the request of Chongqing Zhongrun for property preservation, the Court of Changshou District ordered to freeze CBAK Power’s bank deposits totaling $0.2 million (RMB1,249,836) for a period of one year to August 2021. As of December 31, 2020, the Company has accrued the remaining material purchase cost of $0.2 million (RMB1,104,007) and $2,224 (RMB14,521) was frozen by bank. The property preservation was released in March, 2021 upon CBAK Power settlement.
