Entry into a Definitive Securities Purchase Agreement

Kaixin Holdings (“Kaixin” or the “Company”) today announced it entered into a definitive securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with ATW Opportunities Master Fund II LP, a company incorporated under the laws of Delaware (the “Purchaser”) on November 13, 2024. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to sell an aggregate of 1,166,667 ordinary shares of the Company, with a par value of $0.045 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”) at a purchase price of $3.00 per share to the Purchaser (the “Offering”), representing 71.8% of the closing price of the Company on November 13, 2024. The Offering is expected to close on November 14, 2024. The Company will receive gross proceeds of $3,500,000 in connection with the Offering before deducting related offering expenses.

In addition to the Offering, the Company granted the Purchaser the right to purchase up to $7 million additional Ordinary Shares at a purchase price of $3.00 per share on or prior to February 14, 2025, which can be extended to November 14, 2025 if the closing prices of the Company’s Ordinary Share don’t reach certain threshold as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The Company also granted the Purchaser rights to participate in subsequent offerings to purchase 20% of the securities being offered for a period of one year following the execution of the Purchase Agreement. The Company further agrees, among other things, to certain restrictions on securities offerings for a period of 45 days following the execution of the Purchase Agreement.

The Purchase Agreement contained customary representations, warranties and agreements of the Company and the Purchaser, as well as customary indemnification rights and obligations of the parties.
