("Huicheng Future"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Shenzhen Hifuture Information Technology Co., Ltd. ("Hifuture"), a company listed on Shenzhen Stock Exchange (Stock Code: 002168) since 2007.

Hifuture has operated for over 20 years, with one of its two core businesses being new energy charging pile solutions. Senmiao is excited by this opportunity to further expand its business into the new energy vehicle industry, which would further support our drivers in addition to our existing vehicle rental and ride-hailing businesses. This agreement aligns with and strengthens our strategic expansion in the NEV industry, including the recently announced cooperation with new energy vehicle leasing and charging station operators in Guangzhou and in Sichuan Province.
