ExplanatoryNote

On December 2, 2024, Chijet Motor Company, Inc.’s primary operating subsidiary in China FAW Jilin Automobile Co., Ltd. (“FAW Jilin”) received a remediation notification (the “Notice”) from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China (the “Ministry”), the government authority supervising the automobile industry in China. The Notice indicates that inspections showed FAW Jilin failed to maintain certain automobile manufacturing market entry requirements and therefore must take necessary remedial actions to become compliant. During the period when remedial actions are taken, FAW Jilin’s new product applications will not be accepted and the certificates which are required for new automobile products to be sold domestically, will not be issued. The foregoing suspension will be lifted upon FAW Jilin’s taking the required remedial actions and regaining compliance with the requirements of the Ministry. While FAW Jilin’s domestic manufacturing and sales in China will be impacted by the Notice, FAW Jilin may continue to manufacture and sell automobiles for export out of China, if any. FAW Jilin plans to actively take all necessary remedial actions pursuant to the Notice and regain compliance with all applicable requirements for domestic manufacturing and sales.
