Explanatory Note

 

On November 30, 2021, CBAK Energy Technology, Inc. (the “Company”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a current report on Form 8-K (the “Initial 8-K”) to disclose that Dalian CBAK Power Battery Co., Ltd. (“CBAK Power”), a wholly-owned PRC subsidiary of the Company, completed the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of 81.56% of the registered equity interests of Zhejiang Hitrans Lithium Battery Technology Co., Ltd (“Hitrans”).

 

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements Item 9.01 of the Initial 8-K to provide the historical financial statements and the pro forma financial information required by Items 9.01(a) and 9.01(b) of Form 8-K that were omitted from the Initial 8-K as permitted by Item 9.01(a)(4) of Form 8-K. Any information required to be set forth in the Initial 8-K which is not being amended or supplemented pursuant to this Amendment is hereby incorporated by reference. Except as set forth herein, no modifications have been made to the information contained in the Initial 8-K. This Amendment should be read in connection with the Initial 8-K, which provides a more complete description of the Acquisition.

   

ITEM 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.

The audited consolidated financial statements of Hitrans as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related notes thereto, are filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Amendment and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Hitrans as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and the related notes thereto, are filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this Amendment and are incorporated herein by reference.

The unaudited pro forma financial information is presented for illustrative and informational purposes only and does not reflect the benefits of expected cost savings or opportunities to earn additional revenue and, accordingly, does not attempt to predict or suggest future financial results or operating results of the combined entity.
