As previously disclosed under the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 25, 2019 by Kandi Technologies Group, Inc. (the “Company”), on March 21, 2019, Zhejiang Kandi Vehicles Co., Ltd. (“Kandi Vehicles”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an equity transfer agreement (the “Transfer Agreement”) with Geely Technologies Group Co., Ltd. (“Geely”), pursuant to which Kandi Vehicles agreed to sell 21.47% of its equity interests in Kandi Electric Vehicles Group Co., Ltd. (the “JV Company”) to Geely for a total amount of RMB516 million (approximately $76.9 million).

As the business of the JV Company has been adjusted in the past six months, the parties to the Transfer Agreement have modified the payment arrangement accordingly. As of September 29, 2019, Kandi Vehicles has received payments in cash totaling RMB 220 million (approximately $30.9 million) and certain commercial acceptance notes of RMB 296 million (approximately $41.6 million), of which RMB 140 million (approximately $19.7 million) shall mature on January 20, 2020 and the remaining RMB 156 million (approximately $21.9 million) shall mature on March 29, 2020.

As a result of the completion of the equity transfer on September 29, 2019, Kandi Vehicles now owns 22% and Geely and its affiliates own 78% of the equity interests of the JV Company.
