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.
