For Immediate Release

Sharing Economy International Extends Exclusivity Period under Agreement with ECrent for Sharing Economy Platform Development and the Formation of Special Committee

Hong Kong – January 23, 2018 – Sharing Economy International, Inc. (“SEII” or “the Company”) (NASDAQ: SEII) today announced that it has entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Exclusivity Agreement with ECrent Capital Holdings Limited (“ECrent”), a private company incorporated in British Virgin Islands focusing on developing and operating of a global sharing and rental platform to promote sharing economy across 30 countries and regions (the “Amendment”), which amends the Exclusivity Agreement dated June 11, 2017 by and between the Company and ECrent (the “Exclusivity Agreement”).

Following changes to the Board of Directors in December 2017, the Company also announced the formation of a new special committee consisting of independent directors, to evaluate and negotiate on behalf of the Company for the potential acquisition and/or business cooperation transaction(s) with ECrent. The special committee is also expected to engage independent financial and other advisors in connection with such potential transactions.

“We continue to negotiate and are working hard to move forward with technology and business planning with ECrent,” said Parkson Yip, COO of SEII. “ECrent is a sharing and rental platform covering 30 active regions, with monthly visitors over 15 million, and over 600,000 items and services being actively shared. Combining our latest group technological directions in applying blockchain, artificial intelligence and big data into sharing economy applications, we believe ECrent can effectively position us as a strategic sharing information platform that links different vertical platforms and businesses in our sharing economy ecosystem strategy. After our negotiations and discussions with ECrent for the past 6 months, we look forward to entering into a final acquisition and/or cooperation agreement very soon.”

There can be no assurances that the parties may enter into any agreement to do a transaction, and even if an agreement is entered into, there can be no assurances that such transaction will be consummated.
