Autozi Internet Technology Announces Waiver of IPO Lock-up Restriction

Autozi Internet Technology (Global) Ltd. (Nasdaq: AZI), one of the leading and fast-growing lifecycle automotive service providers in China, today announced that Qirun Investment Co., Ltd. ("Qirun"), one of the Company's principal shareholders wholly owned by Dr. Houqi Zhang, the Company's founder and Chief Executive Officer, has entered into agreements to transfer 2,000,000 shares and 800,000 shares of Autozi's common stock to Leisure Stream Limited and CG Summit Inc. , respectively, in exchange for certain strategic consulting services for Qirun (the "Share Transfers").

Kingswood Capital Partners, LLC ("Kingswood"), the underwriter of the Company's recent initial public offering, is waiving a lock-up restriction on 2,800,000 shares held by Qirun to allow the Share Transfers, effective on December 3, 2024. On the same date, each of Leisure Stream Limited and CG Summit Inc. will enter into a lock-up agreement with Kingswood, substantially similar to the terms previously agreed upon with Qirun, under which they committed not to sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of the Company acquired through the Share Transer for a period of six months from August 27, 2024, the date of the final prospectus relating to our initial public offering. The Share Transfers are expected to be completed soon.

Dr. Zhang commented, "These strategic partnerships represent a personal commitment to exploring new opportunities that could, in the long term, enhance Autozi's presence and capabilities in the global market. By leveraging my personal resources to engage with experienced consulting firms, I aim to lay the groundwork for potential expansion into the North American market. This initiative allows us to assess the landscape without impacting Autozi's current operations or financial standing, ultimately aligning with our goal of delivering value to our shareholders."

Specifically, Leisure Stream Limited agreed to provide strategic consulting services to Qirun, including financial analysis and market research related to the U.S. market, in exchange for 2,000,000 shares of Autozi's common stock. CG Summit Inc. agreed to offer business development and talent acquisition services to Qirun Investment Co., Ltd. , focusing on introductions to U.S. auto parts supply chain companies, identifying potential advisory board members, and facilitating connections with local dealerships, in exchange for 800,000 shares of Autozi's common stock.
