INFORMATION REQUIRED IN REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Item 1. Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered.

          China BAK Battery, Inc., a Nevada corporation, is registering pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 its class of common stock, par value $0.001 per share.

          Each outstanding share of common stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote per share on all matters coming before the shareholders for a vote. Our Articles of Incorporation do not permit cumulative voting for the election of directors, which means that the holders of more than 50% of such outstanding shares voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose; in such event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of our directors. We do not have a classified board of directors. Under Nevada law, for an action by the stockholders of a corporation on a matter, other than the election of directors, to be approved, the number of votes cast in favor of the action must exceed the number of votes cast in opposition to the action, except that amendments to the Articles of Incorporation, approvals of mergers, conversions to which the corporation is a party, and exchanges of securities of the corporation for another entity’s securities must be approved by a vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock and the approval by the stockholders of a resident domestic corporation of a combination with an interested stockholder must be approved by a vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock not beneficially owned by the interested stockholder proposing the combination.  The directors of a Nevada corporation are elected at the annual meeting of the stockholders by a plurality of the votes cast at the election.

          Holders of shares of our common stock do not have preemptive rights to purchase shares in any future issuance of our common or other capital stock.

          If the consideration for which shares of our common stock were authorized to be issued has been paid to us for such shares, then such shares of our common stock will be fully paid and the holder of such shares will not be subject to assessment or other liability as a result of the holder’s ownership of such shares of our common stock.

          The holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to payment of dividends out of funds legally available when and as such dividends are declared by our board of directors. Our operations are conducted through wholly owned direct and indirect subsidiaries (the “Subsidiaries”) organized and located in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). PRC regulations currently permit the payment of dividends only out of accumulated profits as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Each of our Subsidiaries is required to set aside a portion of its after-tax profits according to PRC accounting standards and regulations to fund certain reserve funds. If our Subsidiaries do not accumulate sufficient profits under PRC accounting standards and regulations to first fund certain reserve funds as required by PRC accounting standards, such Subsidiaries will be unable to pay dividends to us and we, in turn, will be unable to pay any dividends. Furthermore, any restrictions imposed on the expatriation of any currency out of the PRC by PRC-based companies would adversely affect our ability to pay dividends. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to receive, ratably, the net assets available to stockholders after payment of all creditors.
