Entry into Material Agreement

 

On February 13, 2023, Jiangsu EZGO Electric Technologies Co., Ltd. (the “VIE”), the variable interest entity of EZGO Technologies Ltd., and Tianjin Jiahao Bicycle Co., Ltd. (“Tianjin Jiahao”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the VIE, entered into an equity transfer agreement (the “Agreement”) with Sutai (Tianjin) Packaging Materials Co., Ltd. (the “Buyer”) for the transfer of 100% of the equity interests of Tianjin Jiahao from the VIE to the Buyer for an aggregate cash consideration of RMB 44 million (approximately US$6,454,831). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Buyer paid RMB 4 million (approximately US$586,803) as an advance payment on the date of signing of the Agreement. In addition, the Buyer is required to pay (i) RMB 20 million (approximately US$2,934,014) as a first installment payment within 20 business days after the transfer of all 100% of the equity interests of Tianjin Jiahao to a special purpose vehicle (the “SPV”), but no later than March 31, 2023, (ii) RMB 8 million (approximately US$1,173,606) as a second installment payment after the completion of the government record filing of a 100% equity transfer of the SPV to the Buyer (i.e. industrial and commercial change registration), but before May 10, 2023 and (iii) the remaining RMB 12 million (approximately US$1,760,408) and a capital occupation fee at an simple interest of 6% per annum as the third installment payment, payable quarterly, for a period of two years from August 10, 2023 to May 10, 2025. The actual control person of the Buyer will provide liability guarantee for the second and third installment payments. The Buyer has also agreed to pledge 25% of Tianjin Jiahao’s equity interests to the VIE or its designee by June 30, 2023, to secure the payment of all amounts due and payable by the Buyer, which pledge will expire on May 10, 2025. The VIE, Tianjin Jiahao and the Buyer have each made customary representations, warranties and covenants.

 

The Buyer has the right to terminate the Agreement if the transfer cannot be completed due to (a) any failure by the VIE to perform its obligations under the terms of the Agreement, (b) the discovery of any undisclosed material debt of Tianjin Jiahao or (c) any defects in the rights of third parties with respect to the land or property being transferred by Tianjin Jiahao. The VIE has the right to terminate the Agreement and retain RMB 2 million (approximately US$293,401) of the advance payment as default payment, in the event that the Buyer is unable to secure a bank loan to make the required payments, unless such failure is not the fault of the Buyer, or the Buyer cannot make the first installment payment by March 31, 2023; however, if the failure to secure a bank loan is the result of any acts or omissions of the VIE, the Agreement will be terminated automatically and the VIE will be required to refund the entire amount of advance payment to the Buyer. Any late payments by the Buyer after the transfer of the equity interests will be assessed interest at the applicable China Loan Prime Rate. If any payment is past due for more than 10 days, the VIE has the right to terminate the Agreement and is entitled to liquidated damages equal to 10% of the remaining amounts owed.

 

All U.S. Dollar amounts provided in this Current Report on Form 6-K (the “Form 6-K”) are based on the currency exchange rate on February 13, 2023 of 6.8166 RMB to 1 USD.
