On September 27, 2023, Nanjing CBAK New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (“Nanjing CBAK”) entered into an Equity Transfer Agreement (the “Equity Transfer Agreement”) with Shenzhen BAK Battery Co., Ltd. (“SZ BAK”), under which SZ BAK shall sell a five percent (5%) equity interest in Shenzhen BAK Power Battery Co., Ltd. (“BAK SZ”) to Nanjing CBAK for a purchase price of RMB260 million (approximately $35.7 million) (the “Target Equity”). Pursuant to the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement, Nanjing CBAK will pay the Target Equity in three (3) installments as follows: (i) RMB40 million (approximately $5.5 million) due prior to December 31, 2023; (ii) RMB90 million (approximately $12.4 million) due prior to September 30, 2024, and (iii) the remaining Target Equity balance of RMB130 million (approximately $17.8 million) due following SZ BAK’s successful transfer to Nanjing CBAK of the five percent (5%) equity interest in BAK SZ. Upon Nanjing CBAK having paid RMB130 million of the Target Equity, the parties shall work together to complete the registration of equity change with the local governmental authorities. Up to the date of this report, Nanjing CBAK has paid RMB115.8 million (approximately $15.9 million) to SZ BAK. The Equity Transfer Agreement may be terminated in writing through negotiation by all parties and the deposit paid was refundable on demand. SZ BAK and BAK SZ were the Company’s former subsidiary up to June 30, 2014. Mr, Xiangqian Li, the Company’s former CEO, is the director of SZ BAK and BAK SZ. The Company will measure the investments in BAK SZ as non-marketable equity securities without a readily determinable fair value using a measurement alternative that measures these securities at the cost method minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes on a non-recurring basis upon the completion. The fair value of non-marketable equity securities that have been remeasured due to impairment are classified within Level 3.
