Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On January 24, 2020, Ideanomics, Inc.

Ltd. (“Mobile”), an aggregate of potentially 200 million RMB as registered capital with an initial investment of 50 million RMB (approximately $7.2 million). The Company and Qingdao also agreed to jointly establish Mobile to engage in electric commercial vehicle sales. Pursuant to the Agreement Qingdao agreed that within 10 days after the completion of the establishment of Mobile Qingdao would invest 50 million RMB as the first installment and, once Mobile starts operation , an additional 50 million RMB as registered capital for each 10 billion RMB sales revenue realized by Mobile or for each 10 billion RMB increase in the market value of Mobile. Once Mobile achieves 30 billion RMB or its market value reaches 30 million RMB Qingdao will pay the 200 million RMB in full as registered capital. Qingdao will receive a 10% equity interest in Mobile for the full investment of 200 million RMB.

 

The foregoing description of the Agreement is not purported to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of such agreement which will be filed as an exhibit to a Form 10-K of the Company, as required.
