Cenntro Electric Group Limited Announces Imminent

Implementation of the Scheme of Arrangement

Cenntro is pleased to announce that the Scheme will be implemented tomorrow February 27, 2024, in accordance with the previously announced timeline (the “Implementation Date”). On the Implementation Date, HoldCo will acquire all of the issued ordinary shares of Cenntro and exchange them for shares of common stock of HoldCo on a 1:1 basis. Implementation of the Scheme will not affect trading of shares on Nasdaq under ticker symbol "CENN". Shares of common stock of HoldCo issued in exchange for Cenntro ordinary shares will remain tradable under the same Nasdaq ticker symbol, “CENN” on and from the Implementation Date. The CUSIP number attributable to the Cenntro ordinary shares will change from Cenntro’s CUSIP number—Q6519V120, to Holdco’s CUSIP number—150964104 on the Implementation Date.

 

Cenntro has requested by way of submission of a “corporate action” form to Nasdaq, and Nasdaq has previously approved, the exchange of Cenntro ordinary shares into shares of common stock of HoldCo from the close of trading on Nasdaq one trading day immediately prior to the Implementation Date, in order to effect a transfer of the listing of Cenntro to a listing of Holdco. Cenntro and HoldCo anticipate that common stock of HoldCo will be listed on Nasdaq, and trading will commence, from commencement of trade on the Implementation Date.
