•Vote for or against, or abstain from voting on, the ratification of the appointment of Enrome as independent public accountants for the fiscal year ending December31, 2023.

•Vote for, or against, or abstain from voting on transacting such other business as properly may come before the annual meeting or any adjournments thereof. The Board of Directors is not aware of any other business to be presented to a vote of the stockholders at the annual meeting.

If the proxy card is properly signed and returned to us, shares covered by the proxy card will be voted in accordance with the directions you specify on the card. The person named as proxy on the proxy card is Jackie Shi, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. Any stockholder who wishes to name a different person as his or her proxy may do so by crossing out Mr. Shi’s name and inserting the name of another person to act as his or her proxy. In such a case, the stockholder would be required to sign the proxy card and deliver it to the person named as his or her proxy, and that person would be required to be present and vote at the Annual Meeting. Any proxy card so marked should not be mailed to the Company. If you return a signed proxy card without having specified any choices, Mr. Shi, named as proxy, will vote the shares represented at the 2023 Annual Meeting and any adjournment thereof as follows:

•FOR the election of each nominee for director and

•FOR the ratification of the appointment of Enrome as independent public accountants for the fiscal year ending December31, 2023.

•FOR transacting such other business as properly may come before the annual meeting or any adjournments thereof. The Board of Directors is not aware of any other business to be presented to a vote of the stockholders at the annual meeting.

Q:How does the Board recommend I vote?

A:The Board unanimously recommends that you vote:

FOR the election of each nominee for director and

FOR theratification of the appointment of Enrome as independent public accountants for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, and

FOR transacting such other business as properly may come before the annual meeting or any adjournments thereof.

The Board of Directors is not aware of any other business to be presented to a vote of the stockholders at the annual meeting.

Our executive officers and directors who own shares of Common Stock have advised us that they intend to vote their shares in favor of the proposals presented in this Proxy Statement. As of the close of business on the Record Date, 7,963,444shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding, approximately 16.64% of which were owned and entitled to be voted by the Company’s executive officers and directors.

Q:What is the voting requirement to approve each of the proposals?

A:Election of Directors.    Under Nevada law and the Fourth Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (“Bylaws”), the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of shares of the Company’s Common Stock is required to elect each director. Consequently, only shares that are voted in favor of a particular nominee will be counted toward such nominee’s achievement of a plurality. Stockholders do not have any rights to cumulate their votes in the election of directors. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted toward a nominee’s total.

Ratification of the selection of Enrome as our independent registered public accounting firm.    The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares actually voted on the proposal at the 2023 Annual Meeting, provided a quorum is present, is required to ratify the selection of Enrome as our independent registered public accounting firm. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote “against” the ratification of the appointment of Enrome as our independent registered public accounting firm. Broker non-votes may be voted for or against this proposal by a broker.

Transacting such other business as properly may come before the annual meeting or any adjournments thereof.The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares actually voted on the proposal at the 2023 Annual Meeting, provided a quorum is present, is required to approve transacting such other business as properly may come before the annual meeting or any adjournments thereof. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote “against” transacting such other business as properly may come before the annual meeting or any adjournments thereof. Broker non-votes may be voted for or against this proposal by a broker.

Q:What is a “quorum”?

A:A quorum of stockholders is required for the transaction of business at the 2023 Annual Meeting. The presence of at least one-third of all of our shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum at the meeting. Votes cast by proxy or in person at the 2023 Annual Meeting will be tabulated by an election inspector appointed for the meeting and will be taken into account in determining whether or not a quorum is present. Abstentions and broker non-votes, which occur when a broker has not received customer instructions and indicates that it does not have the discretionary authority to vote on a particular matter on the proxy card, will be included in determining the presence of a quorum at the 2023 Annual Meeting. If a quorum is not present, the Annual Meeting may be adjourned from time to time until a quorum is obtained. Assuming that a quorum is present, our stockholders may take action at the annual meeting with the votes described below.

4

Q:What’s the effect of an abstention or a broker non-vote?

A:Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business. Under applicable regulations, if a broker holds shares on your behalf, and you do not instruct your broker how to vote those shares on a matter considered “routine,” the broker may generally vote your shares for you. A broker non-vote occurs when a nominee holding shares of Common Stock for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be considered as votes cast “for” or “against” any proposal or director candidate and will not affect the outcome of the election of directors. Abstentions are counted in tabulations of the votes cast on proposals presented to stockholders as a vote against any matter other than the election of directors and advisory vote on the frequency of the advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers, whereas broker non-votes are not counted for purposes of determining whether a proposal has been approved. Unless you provide voting instructions to a broker holding shares on your behalf, your broker may not use discretionary authority to vote your shares on any of the matters to be considered at the 2023 Annual Meeting other than the ratification of our independent registered public accounting firm. Please vote your proxy so your vote can be counted.

Q:What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?

A:If your shares are registered differently or in more than one account, you will receive more than one proxy card. Sign and return all proxy cards to ensure that all your shares are voted.

Q:Can I revoke my proxy?

A:You may revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised at the 2023 Annual Meeting by filing with or transmitting to our corporate secretary either a notice of revocation or a properly created proxy bearing a later date. You also may attend the 2023 Annual Meeting and revoke your proxy by voting your shares at the 2023 Annual Meeting.

Q:How will the Company solicit proxies?

A:Proxies may be solicited in person, by telephone, mail or e-mail by directors, officers and executives of the Company without additional compensation. The Company will reimburse brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding proxy materials to stockholders.

Q:How do I get electronic access to the proxy materials?

A:This Proxy Statement and the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 are available at www.creg-cn.com.

Q:How can a stockholder communicate with the Company’s directors?

A:The Board has established a process to receive communications from interested parties, including stockholders. Interested parties may contact any member (or all members) of the Board or the independent directors as a group, any committee of our Board or any chair of any such committee by mail to c/o Mr. Yongjiang (Jackie) Shi, our Chief Financial Officer, at 4/F, Tower C, Rong Cheng Yun Gu Building, Keji 3rd Road, Yanta District, Xi An City, Shaan Xi Province, China. Correspondence may be addressed to any individual director by name, to the independent directors as a group or to any chair of any committee either by name or title.

INFORMATION REGARDING THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Company’s current board leadership structure separates the board chair and principal executive officer roles into two positions. Mr. Ku has served as both Chairman of the Board and CEO of the Company since April 1, 2009. Our Board continues to believe there are important advantages to Mr. Ku serving in both roles at this time. Mr. Ku is the director most familiar with our business and industry and is best situated to propose Board agendas and lead Board discussions on important matters. Mr. Ku provides a strong link between management and the Board, which promotes clear communication and enhances strategic planning and implementation of corporate strategies. Another advantage is the clarity of leadership provided by one person representing us to employees, stockholders and other stakeholders. The Board has not named a lead independent director.

Our Board is responsible for oversight of the Company’s risk management practices while management is responsible for the day-to-day risk management processes. In the Board’s opinion, this division of responsibilities is the most effective approach for addressing the risks facing the Company. The Board receives periodic reports from management regarding the most significant risks facing the Company. In addition, the Audit Committee assists the Board in its oversight of our risk assessment and risk management policies. Our Audit Committee is empowered to appoint and oversee our independent registered public accounting firm, monitor the integrity of our financial reporting processes and systems of internal controls and provide an avenue of communication among our independent auditors, management, our internal auditing department and our Board.

Diversity

The Board does not have a formal policy with respect to Board nominee diversity. In recommending proposed nominees to the full Board, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is charged with building and maintaining a board that has an ideal mix of talent and experience to achieve our business objectives in the current environment. In particular, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is focused on relevant subject matter expertise, depth of knowledge in key areas that are important to us, and diversity of thought, background, perspective and experience so as to facilitate robust debate and broad thinking on strategies and tactics pursued by us.

Director Independence

Xiaoping Guo, LuLu Sun and Zhongli Liu are our only non-employee directors, and our Board has determined that each of them is independent pursuant to the listing rules of NASDAQ. All of the members of each of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee are independent as defined in NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2). As required under applicable NASDAQ listing standards, in the 2022 fiscal year, our independent directors met twice in regularly scheduled executive sessions at which only our independent directors were present.

Board Meetings and Committee Meeting; Annual Meeting Attendance

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Board held one (1) meeting and acted through unanimous consent on nine (9) different occasions. In addition, the Audit Committee held four (4) meetings; the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee held one (1) meeting; and the Compensation Committee held one (1) meeting. During the year ended December 31, 2022, each of the directors attended, in person or by telephone, more than 75% of the meetings of the Board and the committees on which he or she served. We encourage our Board members to attend our Annual Meetings, but we do not have a formal policy requiring attendance. Some of our then-sitting Board members attended the 2022 Annual Meeting.

Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee currently consists of Xiaoping Guo, Zhongli Liu and LuLu Sun. Ms. LuLu Sun is the chairman of our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee oversees all aspects of the Company’s corporate governance functions on behalf of the Board, including identifying individuals qualified to become directors, recommending to the Board the selection of director nominees for each meeting of the stockholders at which directors are elected and overseeing the monitoring and evaluation of the Company’s corporate governance practices. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee reviewed the performance of all of the current members of the Board and determined and recommended to the Board that all of the current directors should be nominated for re-election. No other candidates were recommended or evaluated. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee operates under a written charter, which is available on our website at www.creg-cn.com under the links “Investor Relations — Corporate Governance.”

Selection of Board Nominees

Our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for identifying, selecting and evaluating Board candidates. From a general perspective, candidates are reviewed in the context of the existing Board members, our operating requirements and the long-term interests of our stockholders. In selecting candidates for appointment or re-election to the Board, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board considers the following criteria: (i) personal and professional ethics and integrity, including a reputation for integrity and honesty in the business community; (ii) experience as an executive officer of companies or as a senior leader of complex organizations, including scientific, government, financial or technological organizations; (iii) financial knowledge, including an understanding of finance, accounting, the financial reporting process, and company measures for operating and strategic performance; (iv) ability to critically and independently evaluate business issues, contributing diverse perspectives or viewpoints, and making practical and mature judgments; (v) a genuine interest in the Company, and the ability to spend the time required to make substantial contributions as a director; and (vi) no conflict of interest or legal impediment that would interfere with the duty of loyalty to the Company and its stockholders. In addition, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee reviews the qualifications of the directors to be appointed to serve as members of the Audit Committee to ensure that they meet the financial literacy and sophistication requirements under the NASDAQ rules and that at least one of them qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” under the rules of the SEC.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee currently consists of Xiaoping Guo, Zhongli Liu and LuLu Sun, each of whom is independent under NASDAQ listing standards. Zhongli Liu serves as chairman of our Audit Committee.

The Board determined that Mr. Liu qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined by NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2) and Item 407 of Regulation S-K. In reaching this determination, the Board made a qualitative assessment of Mr. Liu’s level of knowledge and experience based on a number of objective and subjective factors, including formal education, financial and accounting acumen, and business experience. The Audit Committee is responsible for assisting the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to: (i) the financial reports and other financial information provided by us to the public or any governmental body; (ii) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; (iii) our systems of internal controls regarding finance, accounting and legal compliance that have been established by management and the Board; (iv) the qualifications and independence of our independent registered public accounting firm; (v) the performance of our internal audit function and the independent registered public accounting firm; and (vi) our auditing, accounting and financial reporting processes generally. The Audit Committee has been established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act. In connection with its responsibilities, the Board has delegated to the Audit Committee the authority to select and hire our independent registered public accounting firm and determine their fees and retention terms. The Audit Committee’s policy is to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services by category, including audit-related services, tax services, and other permitted non-audit services. In accordance with the policy, the Audit Committee regularly reviews and receives updates on specific services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm. All services rendered by Kreit & Chiu CPA, LLP to the Company are permissible under applicable laws and regulations. During fiscal year 2022, all services requiring pre-approval and performed by the Company’s accounting firm, Kreit & Chiu CPA, LLP, were approved in advance by the Audit Committee in accordance with the pre-approval policy. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter, which is available on our website at www.creg-cn.com under the links “Investor Relations — Corporate Governance.”

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee currently consists of Xiaoping Guo, Zhongli Liu and LuLu Sun. Mr. Guo is the chairman of our Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee’s purpose is (i) to oversee the Company’s efforts to attract, retain and motivate members of the Company’s senior management team, (ii) to carry out the Board’s overall responsibility relating to the determination of compensation for all executive officers, (iii) to oversee all other aspects of the Company’s compensation policies, and to oversee the Company’s management resources, succession planning and management development activities. The Compensation Committee has the authority to engage independent advisors to assist it in carrying out its duties. During fiscal year 2022, the Compensation Committee did not engage the services of any independent advisors, experts or other third parties. We believe that the functioning of our Compensation Committee complies with any applicable requirements of NASDAQ and SEC rules and regulations. The Compensation Committee operates under a written charter, which is available on our website at www.creg-cn.com under the links “Investor Relations — Corporate Governance.”

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation in Compensation Decisions

All members of the Compensation Committee are independent directors. No current member of our Compensation Committee is a current or former officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and no director or executive officer of the Company is a director or executive officer of any other corporation that has a director or executive officer who is also a director of the Company.

Narrative to Summary Compensation Table

During the 2022 fiscal year, we used base salary as the exclusive executive compensation to our executive officers. We use base salary to fairly and competitively compensate our executives, including the named executive officers, for the jobs we ask them to perform. We view base salary as the most stable component of our executive compensation program, as this amount is not at risk. We believe that the base salaries of our executives should be targeted at or above the median of base salaries for executives in similar positions with similar responsibilities at comparable companies, consistent with our compensation philosophy. Because of our emphasis on performance-based compensation for executives, base salary adjustments are generally made only when we believe there is a significant deviation from the market or an increase in responsibility. Our Compensation Committee reviews the base salary levels of our executives each year to determine whether an adjustment is warranted or necessary.

Employment Contracts

Mr. Guohua Ku entered into an employment agreement with the Company to serve as its CEO on December 10, 2008. The agreement had a two-year term, starting December 10, 2008, that included a one-month probationary period.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control

Employment Agreements

Certain of our executive officers, including our CEO, have employment agreements with the Company. Under Chinese law, we may only terminate employment agreements without cause and without penalty by providing notice of non-renewal one month prior to the date on which the employment agreement is scheduled to expire. If we fail to provide this notice or if we wish to terminate an employment agreement in the absence of cause, as defined in the agreement, then we are obligated to pay the employee one month’s salary for each year we have employed the employee. We are, however, permitted to terminate an employee for cause without penalty pursuant to the employment agreement.

2015 Plan

In June of 2015, the stockholders of the Company approved the China Recycling Energy Corporation Omnibus Equity Plan (the “2015 Equity Plan”) at its annual meeting. The total aggregate shares of common stock authorized for issuance during the term of the 2015 Equity Plan is 124,626shares of the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock, as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split, effected on April 13, 2020. The 2015 Equity Plan will terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) the 10th anniversary of the Equity Plan’s effective date, or (ii) the date on which all shares available for issuance under the Equity Plan shall have been issued as fully-vested shares.

Non-employee directors do not receive additional fees for attendance at Board or Board committee meetings or for serving on Board Committees.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee has furnished the following report on its activities during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. The report is not deemed to be “soliciting material” or “filed” with the SEC or subject to the SEC’s proxy rules or to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, and the report shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any prior or subsequent filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act except to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates it by reference into any such filing.

The primary function of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board in its oversight and monitoring of our financial reporting and auditing process. The Audit Committee charter sets forth the responsibilities of the Audit Committee. A copy of the Audit Committee charter is available on our website at www.creg-cn.com under the links “Investor Relations — Corporate Governance.” For fiscal year 2022, the Audit Committee was comprised of Zhongli Liu (Chairman), Xiaoping Guo, and Lulu Sun, each of whom is independent under applicable SEC and NASDAQ listing standards.

Management has primary responsibility for our financial statements and the overall reporting process, including maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and assessing the effectiveness of our system of internal controls. The independent registered public accounting firm audits the annual financial statements prepared by management, expresses an opinion as to whether those financial statements fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and discusses with the Audit Committee any issues they believe should be raised with the Audit Committee. These discussions include a discussion of the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements. The Audit Committee monitors our processes, relying, without independent verification, on the information provided to it and on the representations made by management and the independent registered public accounting firm.

In 2022, the Audit Committee held four (4) meetings. Representatives of Kreit & Chiu CPA, LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, attended each meeting of the Audit Committee that involved the discussion of financial statements. The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management and Kreit & Chiu CPA, LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 and discussed Kreit & Chiu CPA, LLP’s judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of our accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Audit Committee by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 114 (which superseded Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61), other standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), rules of the SEC, and other applicable regulations.

The Audit Committee also received the written disclosures and the letter from Kreit & Chiu CPA, LLP required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the firm’s independence from our management and has discussed with Kreit & Chiu CPA, LLP its independence. The members of Audit Committee considered whether the services provided by Kreit & Chiu CPA, LLP for the year ended December 31, 2022, are compatible with maintaining their independence. The Board has delegated to the Audit Committee the authority to approve the engagement of our independent registered public accounting firm.

Based upon its review of the audited financial statements and the discussions noted above, the Audit Committee recommended that the Board include the audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for filing with the SEC.

Audit Committee:

Vote Required

A plurality of the shares present or represented by proxy at the 2023 Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors will be required to elect Board nominees. Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, are not votes cast and will have no effect on the election of directors. Stockholders cannot vote for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named. The cumulation of votes in the election of directors is not permitted.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE ELECTION OF EACH OF THE ABOVE-LISTED NOMINEES.

PROPOSAL 2
RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF OUR AUDITORS

The Audit Committee, in accordance with its charter and authority delegated to it by the Board, has appointed the firm of Enrome to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, and the Board has directed that such appointment be submitted to our stockholders for ratification at the 2023 Annual Meeting. Enrome has served as our independent registered public accounting firm since July 14, 2023 and is considered by our Audit Committee to be well qualified. If the stockholders do not ratify the appointment of Enrome, the Audit Committee will reconsider the appointment.

Representatives of Enrome will not participate in the 2023 Annual Meeting by phone and therefore will not (i) have the opportunity to make a statement if they so desire or (ii) be available to respond to questions from stockholders.

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of the holders of shares having a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the shares present or represented and voting at the 2023 Annual Meeting will be required to approve the ratification of the appointment of Enrome’s registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any (although none are expected to exist in connection with this Proposal since this is a routine matter for which brokers may vote in their discretion if beneficial owners of our stock do not provide voting instructions to the brokers) are not votes cast and will have no effect on the vote for the proposal. If our stockholders fail to ratify the appointment of Enrome, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether to retain that firm. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of different independent auditors at any time during the year if they determine that such a change would be in our best interest and the best interests of our stockholders.

THE BOARD, UPON THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE, RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL AND RATIFICATION OF ENROME AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER31, 2023.

Pre-approval Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee has adopted a policy to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm. The pre-approval policy is detailed as to the particular service or category of services and is subject to a specific budget. The services include the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm for audit services, audit-related services, and tax services.

18

If we need to engage the independent registered public accounting firm for other services, which are not considered subject to the general pre-approval as described above, then the Audit Committee must approve such specific engagement as well as the projected fees. If the timing of the project requires an expedited decision, then the Audit Committee has delegated to the Chairman of the Committee the authority to pre-approve such engagement, subject to fee limitations. The Chairman must report all such pre- approvals to the entire Audit Committee for ratification at the next Audit Committee meeting.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers, directors and holders of more than 10% of our common stock to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our common stock and other equity securities. Based solely on our review of the copies of these reports, we believe that all filing requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act were timely complied with during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

NOTICE REGARDING DELIVERY OF STOCKHOLDER DOCUMENTS
(“HOUSEHOLDING” INFORMATION)

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports by delivering a single copy of these materials to an address shared by two or more CREG’s stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies and intermediaries. A number of brokers and other intermediaries with account holders who are our stockholders may be householding our stockholder materials, including this Proxy Statement. In that event, a single proxy statement, as the case may be, will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker or other intermediary that it will be householding communications to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent, which is deemed to be given unless you inform the broker or other intermediary otherwise when you receive or received the original notice of householding. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement, please notify your broker or other intermediary to discontinue householding and direct your written request to receive a separate proxy statement to us at our principal executive offices, located at 4/F, Tower C, Rong Cheng Yun Gu Building, Keji 3rd Road, Yanta District, Xi An City, Shaan Xi Province, 710075 China, or by calling us at 1-800-690-6903 (toll-free). Stockholders who currently receive multiple copies of the proxy statement at their address and would like to request householding of their communications should contact their broker or other intermediary.
