CONTENTS

Acquisition of Zhejiang Ordinary Smile Auto Sales Co., Ltd.

As previously disclosed, on December 2, 2025, Kaixin Holdings (“Kaixin” or “the Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement with Zhejiang Kaixin Auto Co., Ltd. (the “Purchaser”), the sole shareholder (the “Seller”) of the Target Company and Escrow Agent, pursuant to which the Purchaser agreed to acquire the Sale Shares in Zhejiang Ordinary Smile Auto Sales Co., Ltd. (the “Target Company”). In return, the Company agreed to issue up to an aggregate of 15 million newly issued Class A ordinary shares to the Seller as consideration. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Form 6-K of the Company filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on December 2, 2025.

On March 13, 2026, the Company effected a 1-for-15 share consolidation of its issued and unissued Class A and Class B ordinary shares, which was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the annual general meeting of the Company on February 22, 2026 (the “Share Consolidation”).

As a result of the Share Consolidation, the Company will issue an additional 14 million newly issued Class A ordinary shares to the Seller, which shall be held in escrow and be released subject to the five-year-performance targets as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

The foregoing is only a brief description of the material terms of the Purchase Agreement and does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder. Such description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 6-K of the Company filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on December 2, 2025 and is incorporated herein by reference. This content does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy these securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
