Exhibit 99.1

Senmiao Technology Limited Acquires 60% Equity Interest in Chinese Automobile Financial Leasing Company

CHENGDU, China, Nov. 28, 2018/ PRNewswire/ — Senmiao Technology Limited (“Senmiao” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:AIHS), an online lending platform in China connecting investors with individual and small-to-medium-sized enterprise borrowers and creditors, today announced that it entered into an Investment and Equity Transfer Agreement (the “Agreement”) to acquire a 60% equity interest in Hunan Ruixi Financial Leasing Co., Ltd. (“Ruixi”), a Chinese licensed financial leasing company focusing on the auto industry with registered capital of $10 million. In exchange for the 60% equity interest in Ruixi from its three existing shareholders, Senmiao has agreed to contribute $6 million in registered capital to Ruixi. The acqusition closed on November 22, 2018.

Ruixi holds a financial leasing license and anticipates to provide financial leasing services in the automobile industry. As a result of the acquisition, Senmiao is able to utilize this license to expand its business into the financial leasing sector. Ruixi also controls an automobile leasing company in China, which primarily targets the drivers in the ridesharing service sector and facilitates automobile sales and financing transactions for its clients and provides relevant after- transaction services to them.

Xi Wen, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Senmiao, commented, “Today’s announcement marks an important milestone for Senmiao following our 2018 initial public offering. With the increasing difficulty of getting a financing leasing license from China Banking & Insurance Regulatory Commission, Ruixi provides a great opportunity for us to tap into the vehicle financial leasing market where we believe significant revenue opportunities exist.”

“As a wave of defaults is sweeping across China’s peer-to-peer (“P2P”) lending industry in recent months, causing investors to withdraw funds and platforms to collapse, the Chinese P2P Industry is enduring growing pains that will likely to put a damper on the near-term growth prospects of the industry, and thus our company. As such, we believe that the Chinese vehicle financial leasing market, a RMB 1 trillion market in China that is still in its early development stage, provides a viable complement to our existing business” concluded Mr. Wen.
