Key Financial Metrics
This filing does not provide standard financial performance metrics such as revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. The document focuses exclusively on a specific corporate transaction.
Material Changes
The primary material change is the amendment of a securities purchase agreement originally entered into on February 22, 2024, with Shangyue Limited (the Purchaser).
- Original Agreement: The Company agreed to issue 7,000 Series G convertible preferred shares (par value US$0.00075 each) as consideration for the disposal of Kaixin Auto Group, which had negative net worth.
- Amended Agreement (May 20, 2024): The Company entered into an Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement. Under this new agreement, the Company will issue 12,800 Series G convertible preferred shares (par value US$0.00075 each).
- Reason for Change: The increase in share issuance compensates for the disposal consideration and adjusts for the removal of terms allowing redemption at the option of the Company.
- Closing Date: The transaction is expected to close on June 3, 2024.
