Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Background of the Disposition
Sichuan Senmiao Yicheng Asset Management Co., Ltd. (“Yicheng”), and Sichuan Senmiao Zecheng Business Consulting Co., Ltd. and its affiliates (collectively with Sichuan Senmiao Zecheng Business Consulting Co., Ltd., “Zecheng”) are two wholly owned subsidiaries of Senmiao Technology Limited (the “Company”, “we” or “us”).
Yicheng and Zecheng had conducted automobile transaction related services focusing on the online ride-hailing industry in Chengdu, China. Due to the fierce competition of the online ride-hailing industry in China, those entities suffered accumulated loss of approximately $11 million as of September 30, 2025. Each of Yicheng and Zecheng had no operations during the past fiscal year. As a result of the foregoing, management has decided to dispose of 100% of the equity interests in Yicheng and Zecheng.
Disposition
On December 31, 2025, the Company, entered into a certain Acquisition Agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) with Hu Mao Sheng Tang Holdings Limited., a non-affiliated Hong Kong company (the “HMST” or “Purchaser”). Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, the Company agreed to sell 100% of the equity interests in each of Yicheng and Zecheng to the Purchaser for no additional consideration (the “Disposition”).
The Company holds all the issued and outstanding capital stock of Yicheng and Zecheng.
Upon closing of the Disposition, the Purchaser will become the sole shareholder of each of Yicheng and Zecheng, and as a result, assume all assets and obligations of each of Yicheng and Zecheng.
The Disposition was approved by the board of directors (“Board”) of the Company which relied on a third-party valuation firm engaged by the Board which rendered a valuation report in connection with the Disposition, indicating that the sale of Yicheng and Zecheng for no additional consideration is consistent with Yicheng and Zecheng’s fair market value.

The foregoing is only a brief description of the material terms of the Acquisition Agreement, and does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder and are qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.
