Item 1.01Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On May 16, 2019, Sichuan Jinkailong Automobile Leasing Co., Ltd. (“Jinkailong”), the variable interest entity of a majority owned subsidiary of Senmiao Technology Limited, entered into a business cooperation agreement (the “Intercity Agreement”) with Sichuan Feiniu Automobile Transportation Co., Ltd. (“Feiniu”), a provider of intercity passenger transportation and freight logistics services. Separately, Feiniu entered into an agreement (“Didi Agreement”) with Didi Chuxing Technology Co., Ltd. (“Didi”), the largest ridesharing company in China, and agreed to provide consulting services to Didi’s drivers on intercity carpool business.

 

Pursuant to the Intercity Agreement, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, Jinkailong agreed to provide automobile and driver sourcing as Feiniu’s exclusive business partner for Feiniu’s intercity carpool business in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China from May 16, 2019 to May 15, 2022. In return, Feiniu agreed to pay Jinkailong 30% of the consulting service fee Feiniu receives under the Didi Agreement for the proportion of automobiles supplied by Jinkailong. For any delay in payment, Feiniu shall pay to Jinkailong a daily penalty fee of 0.01% of its monthly payment to Jinkailong. In addition, during the term of the Intercity Agreement, Jinkailong agreed to refer no less than 30% of its customers to subscribe Feiniu’s automobile management services, including automobile purchase, title registration, insurance purchase and financing.

 

Jinkailong may terminate the Intercity Agreement if Feiniu’s payment is 15 days past due without cause. Feiniu may terminate the Intercity Agreement if Jinkailong’s services are unsatisfactory and cause negative effect to Feiniu’s business relationship with Didi. Neither party may terminate the Intercity Agreement without cause and early termination imposes a liquidation damage of 200% of the monthly payment under Intercity Agreement. A 30-day advance written notice is required for any termination for cause.

 

The foregoing description of the Intercity Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and are qualified in its entirety by, the full text of such agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1and incorporated herein by reference.
