Exhibit 99.1

Cango Inc. Announces Agreements to Acquire Crypto Mining Assets

SHANGHAI, Nov. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/-- Cango Inc. (NYSE: CANG) ("Cango" or the "Company"), a leading automotive transaction service platform in China, today announced that it has entered into agreements to purchase on-rack crypto mining machines with an aggregate hashrate of 50 Exahash per second (“EH”) for total considerations valued at approximately US$400 million from a group of sellers. The largest seller will be Bitmain Technologies Georgia Limited and Bitmain Development Limited (together, “Bitmain”), a leading manufacturer of digital currency mining servers, and the Company has agreed to purchase from Bitmain on-rack crypto mining machines with an aggregate hashrate of 32EH for a total purchase price of US$256 million in cash (the “Cash-Settled Transaction”). The Company has also agreed to purchase the remaining on-rack crypto mining machines with an aggregate hashrate of 18EH from Golden TechGen Limited (“GT”), a company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and wholly owned by Mr. Max HUA (“Mr. Hua”), former chief financial officer of Bitmain and the sole shareholder of GT, and certain other sellers, and will pay the purchase price through issuance of an aggregate of approximately 145,658,192 Class A ordinary shares of the Company (valued at US$144 million) to the sellers in proportion to the aggregate hashrate of the machines to be sold by each seller (the “Share-Settled Transactions”, and together with the Cash-Settled Transaction, the “Proposed Transactions”).

Upon closing of the Share-Settled Transactions, GT, which is expected to be the largest seller in these transactions, will own no more than 20% of the Company’s total outstanding shares, and all the sellers in the Share-Settled Transactions will in the aggregate own approximately 37.8% of the Company’s total outstandings shares before any exercise of the warrants described below. The Company also agreed to grant Mr. Hua the right to nominate and appoint two directors of the Company until Mr. Hua and his affiliates cease to hold more than 5% of the Company’s total outstanding shares. If the market capitalization of the Company calculated based on the daily volume-weighted average trading price of the Company’s ADSs over any consecutive 30-trading days during the 30-month period after closing of the Share-Settled Transactions reaches US$1,825,000,000 (the “Bonus Triggering Event”), the Company agreed to issue at par value approximately 97,105,461 additional Class A ordinary shares to all the sellers in the Share-Settled Transactions as bonus payment in proportion to the aggregate hashrate of the machines to be sold by each seller, and the Company agreed to issue warrants to the sellers that will allow them to exercise such rights within 3 months after the Bonus Triggering Event. Furthermore, if the net asset value (after certain adjustments) of the Company’s existing business in China is reduced by RMB50 million or more by the end of 2026 as compared to such value as of September 30, 2024 (the “Adjustment Event”), the Company will be required to issue additional Class A ordinary shares to the Sellers based on the reduced amount. While all the Class A ordinary shares will be issued to the sellers in transactions that are not subject to or exempted from the registration requirement of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, the Company has granted certain registration rights to the sellers with respect to the shares. The Company will seek shareholders’ approval to amend its memorandum and articles of association to increase the Company’s total authorized share capital as necessary to effect any share issuance, including under the Bonus Triggering Event or Adjustment Event. As the Company’s co-founders, Mr. Xiaojun Zhang and Mr. Jiayuan Lin (the “Co-founders”), will continue to own all the Class B ordinary shares of the Company with super-voting power, the Co-founders are expected to continue to own more than two-thirds of the aggregate voting power of the Company’s total outstanding shares (assuming full exercise of the warrants described above) and maintain their control over the Company after completion of the Proposed Transactions.

Closing of the Cash-Settled Transaction will be subject to various customary closing conditions, including anti-trust clearance in the U.S. (“Anti-trust Clearance”), among others. Closing of the Share-Settled Transactions will be subject to similar customary closing conditions as in the Cash-Settled Transaction, as well as the satisfactory performance of the mining machines to be delivered by the sellers in the Share-Settled Transactions (“Performance Condition”) and NYSE’s authorization of the Company’s supplemental listing application with respect to the Class A ordinary shares to be issued at the closing of the Share-Settled Transactions. While the Company currently expects to close the Proposed Transactions on or before March 31, 2025, there can be no assurance that the closing conditions will be satisfied nor that the Proposed Transactions will be completed before that date or at all. If the Cash-Settled Transaction fails to close due to failure to receive the Anti-trust Clearance, the deposit in an amount of US$25.6 million paid by the Company to Bitmain will be forfeited and retained by Bitmain. If the Cash-Settled Transaction has closed but the Share-Settled Transactions fail to close because the Performance Condition is not satisfied, Northstar Management (HK) Limited (“Northstar”), a business partner of GT, has agreed to find buyers to purchase all the mining machines that the Company acquired from Bitmain in the Cash-Settled Transaction at a price not lower than the original price that the Company agreed to pay.

The mining machines that the Company agreed to purchase in the Proposed Transactions are currently in active mining operation and hosted in data centers in several countries outside China, with the majority located in the U.S. The Company expects to continue to host the machines in their exsiting data centers and expects to engage an affiliate of Bitmain to provide operational and maintenance services for the machines after closing the Proposed Transactions.

Regardless of whether the Proposed Transactions are completed, the Company will continue to operate its existing business, and will continue to invest in its existing business and expand such business outside of China. In particular, the Company will continue to strengthen Cango U-car’s competitive advantage in vehicle inventory by establishing strategic partnerships with used car marketplaces. For its international used car platform, AutoCango.com, the Company will continue to refine its content development and search engine optimization to boost brand exposure and expand its market reach outside of China. If the Proposed Transactions are completed, the Company will start to generate revenues from crypto mining operations, and the Company’s management currently expects that revenues from crypto mining may comprise the vast majority of the Company’s total revenues before its existing business achieves substantial growth outside of China.

Such Shelf Registration Statement shall provide for the resale of the Registrable Securities included therein pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder named therein. The Company shall maintain the Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with the terms hereof, and shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep a Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective, available for use to permit all Holders named therein to sell their Registrable Securities included therein and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. If at any time the Company shall have qualified for the use of a Registration Statement on Form F-3 or any other form that permits incorporation of substantial information by reference to other documents filed by the Company with the Commission and at such time the Company has an outstanding Shelf Registration Statement on Form F-1, then the Company shall use its commercially reasonably efforts to convert such outstanding Shelf Registration Statement on Form F-1 into a Shelf Registration Statement on Form F-3.

The Demanding Holder shall make such election by delivering to the Company a written request (a “Shelf Underwriting Request”) for such Underwritten Offering specifying the number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holder desire to sell pursuant to such Underwritten Offering (the “Shelf Underwriting”).

The Company shall promptly, but subject to subsection 2.3, use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect such Shelf Underwriting. The Company shall, at the request of the Demanding Holder or any other Holder of Registrable Securities registered on such Shelf Registration Statement, file any prospectus supplement or, if the applicable Shelf Registration Statement is an automatic shelf registration statement, any post-effective amendments and otherwise take any action necessary to include therein all disclosure and language deemed necessary or advisable by the Demanding Holder or any other Holder of Shelf Registrable Securities to effect such Shelf Underwriting. Once a Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective, the Demanding Holder may request, and the Company shall be required to facilitate, an aggregate of no more than five (5) Shelf Underwritings pursuant to this subsection 2.1.1(a) with respect to any or all Registrable Securities; provided, however, that a Shelf Underwriting shall not be counted for such purposes unless a Registration Statement has become effective and all of the Registrable Securities requested by the Demanding Holder to be registered on behalf of the Demanding Holder in such Shelf Underwriting have been sold; and provided, further, that the number of Shelf Underwritings the Demanding Holder shall be entitled to request shall be reduced by each Demand Registration effected for the Demanding Holder pursuant to subsection 2.1.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Demanding Holder wishes to engage in an underwritten block trade or similar transaction or other transaction with a 2-day or less marketing period (collectively, “Underwritten Block Trade”) off of a Shelf Registration Statement, then notwithstanding the foregoing time periods, the Demanding Holder only needs to notify the Company of the Underwritten Block Trade two (2) Business Days prior to the day such offering is to commence and the Holders of record of other Registrable Securities shall not be entitled to notice of such Underwritten Block Trade and shall not be entitled to participate in such Underwritten Block Trade; provided, however, that the Demanding Holder shall use commercially reasonable efforts to work with the Company and the underwriters prior to making such request in order to facilitate preparation of the registration statement, prospectus and other offering documentation related to the Underwritten Block Trade.

2.1.2.          Other Demand Registration. At any time that a Shelf Registration Statement provided for in subsection 2.1.1(a) is not available for use by the Holders following such Shelf Registration Statement being declared effective by the Commission (a “Demand Registration Period”), subject to this subsection 2.1.2, subsection 2.3 and subsection 2.4, at any time and from time to time, the Demanding Holder shall have the right to make a written demand from time to time to effect one or more registration statements under the Securities Act covering all or any part of their Registrable Securities, with a total offering price reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, the Minimum Demand Threshold, by delivering a written demand therefor to the Company, which written demand shall describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such Registration and the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. Any such request by the Demanding Holder pursuant to this subsection 2.1.2 is referred to herein as a “Demand Registration Request,” and the registration so requested is referred to herein as a “Demand Registration” (with respect to any Demand Registration, the Demanding Holder making such demand for registration being referred to as the “Initiating Holder”). Subject to subsection 2.3, the Demanding Holder shall be entitled to request (and the Company shall be required to effect) an aggregate of no more than five (5) Demand Registrations pursuant to this subsection 2.1.2 with respect to any or all Registrable Securities; provided, however, that a Demand Registration shall not be counted for such purposes unless a Registration Statement has become effective and all of the Registrable Securities requested by the Demanding Holder to be registered on behalf of the Demanding Holder in such Demand Registration have been sold; and provided, further, that the number of Demand Registrations the Demanding Holder shall be entitled to request shall be reduced by each Shelf Underwriting effected for the Demanding Holder pursuant to subsection 2.1.1(a). The Company shall give written notice (the “Demand Exercise Notice”) of such Demand Registration Request to each of the Holders of record of Registrable Securities as promptly as practicable but no later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Demand Registration Request. The Company, subject to subsections 2.3 and 2.4, shall include in a Demand Registration (x) the Registrable Securities of the Initiating Holder and (y) the Registrable Securities of any other Holder of Registrable Securities which shall have made a written request to the Company for inclusion in such registration pursuant to this subsection 2.1.2 (which request shall specify the maximum number of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder) within twenty (20) Business Days following the receipt of any such Demand Exercise Notice. The Company shall promptly, but subject to subsection 2.3, use its commercially reasonable efforts to (x) file or confidentially submit with the Commission (no later than (A) ninety (90) days from the Company’s receipt of the applicable Demand Registration Request if the Demand Registration is on Form F-1 or similar long-form registration or (B) forty-five (45) days from the Company’s receipt of the applicable Demand Registration Request if the Demand Registration is on Form F-3 or any similar short-form registration), (y) cause to be declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable such registration statement under the Securities Act that includes the Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register, for distribution in accordance with the intended method of distribution and (z) if requested by the Initiating Holder, obtain acceleration of the effective date of the registration statement relating to such registration.

2.1.3.          Reduction of Underwritten Offering.

2.1.4.          Demand Registration Withdrawal. A majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holder initiating a Shelf Underwriting or Demand Registration, pursuant to a Registration under subsection 2.1.1 or 2.1.2 shall have the right in their sole discretion to withdraw from a Registration pursuant to such Shelf Underwriting or Demand Registration upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Registration prior to (i) in the case of a Shelf Underwriting, the filing of a preliminary prospectus supplement setting forth the terms of the Underwritten Offering with the Commission and (ii) in the case of a Demand Registration, the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to the Registration of their Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration. Company shall not be required to pay for any Registration Expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to section 2.1 if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Demanding Holder, unless the Demanding Holder agrees to forfeit its right to one registration pursuant to section 2.1; provided, further, that if at the time of such withdrawal, the Demanding Holder has learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business or prospects of the Company from that known to the Demanding Holder at the time of its request and has withdrawn the request with reasonable promptness following disclosure by the Company of such material adverse change, then the Demanding Holder shall not be required to pay any of such Registration Expenses.

2.2.            Piggy-back Registration.

2.2.1.           Piggy-back Rights. If, at any time after the Lock-up Termination Date, the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into equity securities, for its own account or for the account of shareholders of the Company (or by the Company and by the shareholders of the Company including, without limitation, pursuant to subsection 2.1 hereof), other than a Registration Statement (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) for an exchange offer, as part of a merger, consolidation or similar transaction or for an offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing shareholders, (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Company, or (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan, then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but not less than ten (10) Business Days before the anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement, which notice shall (A) describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, in such offering, and (B) offer to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities the opportunity to register the sale of such number of Registrable Securities as such Holders may request in writing within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such written notice (such Registration a “Piggy-back Registration”).

All such Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Offering under this subsection 2.2.1 shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by the Company. The Company may postpone or withdraw the filing or the effectiveness of a Piggyback Registration at any time in its sole discretion. If any Holder decides not to include all or any of its Registrable Shares in such registration by the Company, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Shares in any subsequent registration statement as may be filed by the Company, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

2.2.2.          Reduction of Piggy-back Registration. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Registration that is to be a Piggy-back Registration, in good faith, advises the Company and the Holders of Registrable Securities participating in the Piggy-back Registration in writing that the dollar amount or number of the Company Ordinary Shares that the Company desires to sell, taken together with (i) the Company Ordinary Shares, if any, as to which Registration has been demanded pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with Persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, (ii) the Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested pursuant to subsection 2.2.1 hereof, and (iii) the Company Ordinary Shares, if any, as to which Registration has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other shareholders of the Company, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then:

(a)               If the Registration is undertaken for the Company’s account, the Company shall include in any such Registration (A) first, the Company Ordinary Shares or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.2.1 hereof, Pro Rata, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the Company Ordinary Shares, if any, as to which Registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other shareholders of the Company, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and

(b)             If the Registration is pursuant to a request by Persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, then the Company shall include in any such Registration (A) first, the Company Ordinary Shares or other equity securities, if any, of such requesting Persons or entities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.2.1, Pro Rata, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the Company Ordinary Shares or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the Company Ordinary Shares or other equity securities for the account of other Persons or entities that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such Persons or entities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

2.2.3.          Piggy-back Registration Withdrawal. Any Holder of Registrable Securities shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggy-back Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of his, her or its intention to withdraw from such Piggy-back Registration prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Piggy-back Registration. The Company (in its sole discretion or as the result of a request for withdrawal by Persons pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may postpone or withdraw the filing or effectiveness of a Piggy-back Registration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the Piggy-back Registration prior to its withdrawal under this subsection 2.2.3.

2.2.4.          Unlimited Piggy-back Registration Rights. For purposes of clarity, any Registration effected pursuant to subsection 2.2 hereof shall not be counted as a Registration pursuant to a Shelf Underwriting or Demand Registration effected under subsection 2.1 hereof; provided, however, that the rights to demand a Piggy-back Registration under this subsection 2.2 shall terminate on the second anniversary of the date hereof.

2.3.            Restrictions on Registration Rights. The Company shall not be obligated to effect any Shelf Underwriting or Demand Registration within ninety (90) days after the effective date of a previous Shelf Underwriting or Demand Registration or a previous Piggy-back Registration in which holders of Registrable Securities were permitted to register 75% of the Registrable Securities requested to be included therein. The Company may postpone for up to one hundred and twenty (120) days the filing or effectiveness of (A) a Shelf Underwriting or Registration Statement for a Demand Registration if the Holders have requested an Underwritten Registration and the Company and the Holders are unable to obtain the commitment of underwriters to firmly underwrite the offer, or (B) a Shelf Underwriting or Registration Statement for a Demand Registration if the Registration Statement is required under applicable law, rule or regulation to contain (i) financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, (ii) audited financial statements as of a date other than the Company’s fiscal year end (unless the Holders requesting Registration agree to pay the reasonable expenses of this audit), (iii) pro form a financial statements that are required to be included in a registration statement, or if the Board determines in its reasonable good faith judgment that such Shelf Underwriting or Demand Registration would (x) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate organization or other similar transaction involving the Company, (y) require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure or (z) render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or Exchange Act; provided, that in such event the Holders of a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities initiating a Shelf Underwriting or Demand Registration shall be entitled to withdraw such request and, if such request is withdrawn, such Shelf Underwriting or Demand Registration shall not count as one of the permitted Shelf Underwriting or Demand Registrations hereunder and the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with such Registration. The Company may delay a Shelf Underwriting or Demand Registration hereunder only twice in any period of twelve consecutive months.

2.4.            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the GT Parties shall be entitled to exercise any of its rights, privileges or benefits under Article II, Article III and Article IV until the Company’s market capitalization, calculated by multiplying the total number of outstanding shares of the Company at the close of market on a Trading Day by the closing pricing of the shares of the Company on the same Trading Day, exceeds US$[Redacted].

Article IV
INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

4.1.            Indemnification.

4.1.1.            The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by Law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers and directors and each Person who Controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein. The Company shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers and directors and each Person who Controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to the indemnification of the Holder.

4.1.2.            In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by Law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and agents and each Person who Controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers, directors and each Person who Controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of the Company.

4.1.3.            Any Person entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any Person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (plus local counsel) for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

4.1.4.           The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or Controlling Person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities. The Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities participating in an offering also agrees to make such provisions as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution to such party in the event the Company’s or such Holder’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason.

4.1.5.            If the indemnification provided under subsection 4.1 hereof from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this subsection 4.1.5 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in subsections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this subsection 4.1.5. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Article VII
TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS

7.1.            From and after the date hereof and until September 30, 2025 (the “Lock-up Termination Date”), without the prior written consent of the Company, each of the Holders and Mr. Hua (each, a “Restricted Party”) may not, and shall cause its/his Affiliates to not, directly or indirectly, Transfer any Equity Securities of the Company beneficially owned by such Restricted Party, or enter into any contract, option or other agreement with respect to, or consent to, a Transfer of, any Equity Securities of the Company beneficially owned by such Restricted Party or such Restricted Party’s voting or economic interest therein. Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Equity Securities of the Company not made in compliance with this Article VII shall be null and void ab initio, and the purported transferee in any such Transfer shall not be treated (and the purported transferor shall continue to be treated) as the owner of such Equity Securities of the Company for all purposes of this Agreement and the constitutional documents of the Company.

7.2.            Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Transfer restrictions in this section 7.1 shall not apply to:

7.2.1.           Transfers of the Equity Securities by a Restricted Party to its Affiliates; provided, that in the case of any Transfer pursuant to this subsection 7.2.1, (i) the transferee shall be bound by the Transfer restrictions hereunder by delivering an undertaking to the Company and (ii) if such transferee at any time ceases to be an Affiliate of the transferor, the transferee shall Transfer such Equity Securities back to such transferor.

7.2.3.           Transfer of Equity Securities acquired by Restricted Parties in open market transactions after the completion of transactions contemplated by the Sales and Purchase Agreement; or

For purposes of this Agreement, “Change of Control” shall mean the consummation of any bona fide third-party transfer (whether by tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, to a person or group of affiliated persons of the Company’s voting securities if, after such transfer, such person or group of affiliated persons would acquire more than 50% of the total voting power of the voting securities of the Company (or the surviving entity).

7.3.            Each Restricted Party agrees not to circumvent or otherwise avoid the transfer restrictions or intent thereof set forth in this Agreement, whether by holding the Equity Securities of the Company indirectly through one or more Persons or by causing or effecting, directly or indirectly, the Transfer or issuance of any Equity Securities by such Restricted Party or any such Person, or otherwise. Any purported Transfer, sale or issuance of any Equity Securities of such Restricted Party or any such Person, other than on a pro rata basis to shareholders of a Restricted Party or such Person, shall be deemed to be a Transfer of the Equity Securities of the Company directly or indirectly held by such Restricted Party.

This certifies that, for value received, [ ], a [ ], or its permitted assigns (the “Warrantholder”) is entitled, upon the terms hereinafter set forth, to acquire from the Company, in whole or in part, up to an aggregate of [*] fully paid and non-assessable Class A Ordinary Shares (the “Warrant Shares”), at a purchase price per Class A Ordinary Share equal to the Exercise Price. The Warrant Shares and Exercise Price are subject to adjustment as provided herein, and all references to “Class A Ordinary Shares,” “Warrant Shares” and “Exercise Price” herein shall be deemed to include any such adjustment or series of adjustments.

Exercise of Warrant; Payment of Exercise Price.

(i).

The right to purchase the Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant is exercisable, in whole or in part by the Warrantholder, at any time or from time to time during the period commencing on the date when the Additional Issuance Condition is first satisfied (the “Exercise Start Date”), and ending on the date falling three (3) months after the Exercise Start Date (such time, the “Expiration Time”).

(ii).

The Warrantholder may exercise this Warrant by delivering to the Company (i) an exercise notice, in the form attached as Annex A hereto (the “Exercise Notice”), completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised in accordance with Section 3(iii), and the date such items are delivered to the Company (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is an “Exercise Date.” The Warrantholder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new warrant of like tenor in substantially identical form evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.

(iii).

If the Warrantholder does not exercise this Warrant in its entirety, the Warrantholder will be entitled to receive from the Company a new warrant of like tenor in substantially identical form for the purchase of that number of Warrant Shares equal to the difference between the number of Warrant Shares subject to this Warrant and the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is so exercised.

Issuance of Warrant Shares.

(i).

As soon as practicable (and in any event within three Business Days) after the exercise of any Warrant and the clearance of the funds in payment of the Exercise Price (if applicable), the Company shall issue to the Warrantholder a book-entry position or certificate, as applicable, for the number of Class A Ordinary Shares to which he, she or it is entitled, registered in such name or names as may be directed by him, her or it on the register of members of the Company. The Company agrees that the Warrant Shares so issued will be deemed for all purposes to have been issued to the Warrantholder as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price are delivered to the Company in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company may then be closed or certificates representing such Warrant Shares may not be actually delivered on such date. The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, out of its authorized but unissued Class A Ordinary Shares, solely for the purpose of providing for the exercise of this Warrant, the aggregate Equity Interests issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in full (disregarding whether or not this Warrant is exercisable by its terms at any such time).

(ii).

The Warrant Shares, when issued and delivered to the Warrantholder against full payment therefor in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all Encumbrances (other than (i) Encumbrances pursuant to the memorandum and articles of association or other constitutional documents of the Company or Applicable Laws and (ii) Encumbrances created by the Warrantholder or its Affiliates) and will not have been issued in violation of, or subject to any preemptive or similar rights created under, the Company’s memorandum and articles of association (as amended from time to time) or under the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands.

(iii).

Unless the securities purchased under this Warrant have been registered under the Securities Act, each certificate for such securities shall bear the following legend:

No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional Warrant Shares or other Equity Interests or scrip representing fractional Warrant Shares or other Equity Interests shall be issued upon any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional share to which a Warrantholder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a fair cash adjustment (as determined by the Company in good faith) in respect of such final fraction or round up to the next whole Warrant Share or other Equity Interests.

No Rights as Shareholders. Without limiting in any respect the provisions of the Purchase Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement, and except as otherwise provided by the terms of this Warrant, this Warrant does not entitle the Warrantholder to (i) receive dividends or other distributions, (ii) consent to any action of the shareholders of the Company, (iii) receive notice of or vote at any meeting of the shareholders, (iv) receive notice of any other proceedings of the Company or (v) exercise any other rights whatsoever, in any such case as a shareholder of the Company prior to the date of exercise hereof.

Charges; Taxes. Issuance of book-entry position or certificate for Class A Ordinary Shares or other Equity Interests to the Warrantholder upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Warrantholder for any issue or transfer tax (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously therewith) or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such book-entry position or certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company.

Transfer/Assignment. Subject to compliance with the applicable securities laws, the legend as set forth on the cover page of this Warrant, and the Investor Rights Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon the books of the Company by the registered holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney, and a new warrant shall be made and delivered by the Company, of the same date and tenor as this Warrant but registered in the name of one or more transferees, upon surrender of this Warrant and the ownership transfer form substantially in the form of Annex B hereto, duly endorsed, to the Company. The Warrantholder undertakes to the Company that any transfer of this Warrant shall at all times be subject to compliance with the Investor Rights Agreement, the Securities Act, and all other securities laws of any applicable jurisdiction. If the transferring holder does not transfer the entirety of its rights to purchase all Warrant Shares hereunder, such holder will be entitled to receive from the Company a new warrant in substantially identical form for the purchase of that number of Warrant Shares as to which the right to purchase was not transferred. All expenses (other than stock transfer taxes) and other charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the new warrants pursuant to this Section 8 shall be paid by the Company, other than the costs and expenses of counsel or any other advisor to the Warrantholder and its transferee. The acceptance of the new warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations in respect of the new warrant that the Warrantholder has in respect of this Warrant. In no event shall the Company be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer. Any obligation of the Company hereunder shall be solely owed to the registered holder of this Warrant. Any purported assignment or transfer in violation of this Section 8 shall be null and void.

Exchange and Registry of Warrant. This Warrant is exchangeable, subject to applicable securities laws, upon the surrender hereof by the Warrantholder to the Company, for a new warrant or warrants of like tenor and representing the right to purchase the same aggregate number of Warrant Shares. The Company shall maintain a registry showing the name and address of the Warrantholder as the registered holder of this Warrant. This Warrant may be surrendered for exchange or exercise, in accordance with its terms, at the address of the Company as set forth in Section 18, and the Company shall be entitled to rely in all respects, prior to written notice to the contrary, upon such registry.

10.

Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of a bond, indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor and representing the right to purchase the same aggregate number of Warrant Shares as provided for in such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant.

11.

Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day.

12.

Adjustments and Other Rights. The Exercise Price and Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows; provided that if more than one subsection of this Section 12 is applicable to a single event, the subsection shall be applied that produces the largest adjustment and no single event shall cause an adjustment under more than one subsection of this Section 12 so as to result in duplication.

(i).

Stock Splits, Subdivisions, or Combinations. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time (a) declare, order, pay or make a share dividend or make a distribution on its Class A Ordinary Shares in Class A Ordinary Shares, (b) split, subdivide or reclassify the outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares into a greater number of shares or (c) combine or reclassify the outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares into a smaller number of shares, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such split, subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted so that the Warrantholder(s) immediately after such record date or effective date, as the case may be, shall be entitled to purchase the number of Class A Ordinary Shares which such holder(s) would have owned or been entitled to receive in respect of the Class A Ordinary Shares subject to this Warrant after such date had this Warrant been exercised in full immediately prior to such record date or effective date, as the case may be (disregarding whether or not this Warrant had been exercisable by its terms at such time). In the event of such adjustment, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such split, subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be immediately adjusted to the number obtained by dividing (x) the product of (1) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant in full before the adjustment determined pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence (disregarding whether or not this Warrant was exercisable by its terms at such time) and (2) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record or effective date, as the case may be, for the dividend, distribution, split, subdivision, combination or reclassification giving rise to such adjustment by (y) the new number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant in full determined pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence (disregarding whether or not this Warrant is exercisable by its terms at such time).

(ii).

Reclassification. In case of any reclassification of Class A Ordinary Shares (other than a reclassification of Class A Ordinary Shares subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 12(i)), notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (a) the Company shall notify the Warrantholder(s) in writing of such reclassification as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the effectiveness thereof), and (b) the Warrantholder(s)’ right to receive Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant shall be converted, effective upon the occurrence of such reclassification, into the right to exercise this Warrant to acquire the number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) that the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable (at the effective time of such reclassification) upon exercise of this Warrant in full immediately prior to such reclassification (disregarding whether or not this Warrant was exercisable by its terms at such time) would have been entitled to receive upon consummation of such reclassification; and in any such case, if applicable, the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Warrantholder(s) shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, to the Warrantholder(s)’s right to exercise this Warrant in exchange for any shares of stock or other securities or property pursuant to this paragraph. In determining the kind and amount of stock, securities or the property receivable upon exercise of this Warrant upon and following adjustment pursuant to this paragraph, if the holders of Class A Ordinary Shares have the right to elect the kind or amount of consideration receivable upon consummation of such reclassification, then the Warrantholder(s) shall have the right to make the same election upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to the number of shares of stock or other securities or property which the Warrantholder(s) will receive upon exercise of this Warrant.

(iii).

Rounding of Calculations; Minimum Adjustments. All calculations under this Section 12 shall be made to the nearest one-tenth (1/10th) of a cent or to the nearest whole number of a share, as the case may be. Any provision of this Section 12 to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable shall be made if the amount of such adjustment would be less than $0.01 or one Class A Ordinary Share, but any such amount shall be carried forward and an adjustment with respect thereto shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate $0.01 or one Class A Ordinary Share, or more.

(iv).

Timing of Issuance of Additional Securities Upon Certain Adjustments. In any case in which (1) the provisions of this Section 12 shall require that an adjustment (the “Subject Adjustment”) shall become effective immediately after a record date (the “Subject Record Date”) for an event and (2) the Warrantholder exercises this Warrant after the Subject Record Date and before the consummation of such event, the Company may defer until the consummation of such event (i) issuing to such Warrantholder the incrementally additional Class A Ordinary Shares or other property issuable upon such exercise by reason of the Subject Adjustment and (ii) paying to such Warrantholder any amount of cash in lieu of a fractional share of an Class A Ordinary Share; provided, however, that the Company upon request shall promptly deliver to such Warrantholder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing such Warrantholder’s right to receive such additional shares (or other property, as applicable), and such cash, upon the consummation of such event.

(v).

Statement Regarding Adjustments. Whenever the Exercise Price or the Warrant Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable shall be adjusted as provided in this Section 12, the Company shall forthwith prepare a statement showing in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the Exercise Price that shall be in effect and the Warrant Shares into which this Warrant shall be exercisable after such adjustment, and cause a copy of such statement to be delivered to each Warrantholder as promptly as practicable.

(vi).

Notice of Adjustment Event. In the event that the Company shall propose to take any action of the type described in this Section 12 (but only if the action of the type described in this Section 12 would result in an adjustment in the Exercise Price or the Warrant Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable or a change in the type of securities or property to be delivered upon exercise of this Warrant), the Company shall provide written notice to each Warrantholder, which notice shall specify the record date, if any, with respect to any such action and the approximate date on which such action is to take place. Such notice shall also set forth the facts with respect thereto as shall be reasonably necessary to indicate the effect on the Exercise Price and the number, kind or class of shares or other securities or property which shall be deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant. In the case of any action which would require the fixing of a record date, such notice shall be given at least ten (10) days prior to the date so fixed. In case of all other action, such notice shall be given at least ten (10) days prior to the taking of such proposed action unless the Company reasonably determines in good faith that, given the nature of such action, the provision of such notice at least ten (10) days in advance is not reasonably practicable from a timing perspective, in which case such notice shall be given as far in advance prior to the taking of such proposed action as is reasonably practicable from a timing perspective.

(vii).

Par Value. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if an adjustment in Exercise Price made hereunder would reduce the Exercise Price to an amount below par value of the Class A Ordinary Shares, then such adjustment in Exercise Price made hereunder shall reduce the Exercise Price to the par value of the Class A Ordinary Shares.

(viii).

No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its memorandum and articles of association or any other organizational document, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant.

机密Confidential

Business Agreement

November 6, 2024

This Business Agreement (as may be amended from time to time in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, this “Agreement”) is entered into by and between Cango Inc., an exempted limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Cayman Islands (“Cango”), and Northstar Management (HK) Limited, a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong (“NT”).

Reference is hereby made to (i) the Framework Agreement for Service and Procurement signed by Bitmain Technologies Georgia Limited and Bitmain Development Limited (together, “Bitmain”) and Cango on the date of this Agreement (“Cash Sale and Purchase Agreement”), and (ii) the on-rack sales and purchase agreement signed by Cango and specific sellers on the date of this Agreement (“Equity Sale and Purchase Agreement”). According to the Cash Sale and Purchase Agreement, Bitmain will sell mining machine assets with a total computing power of approximately 32 Exahashes to Cango (“Cash Asset Package”). According to the Equity Sale and Purchase Agreement, the sellers described in the agreement collectively will sell mining machine assets with a total computing power of approximately 18 Exahashes to Cango (“Equity Asset Package”).

Disposal of Cash Asset Package

1.1.

Within [Redacted] Business Days (as defined in the Equity Sale and Purchase Agreement) after the occurrence of any Triggering Event (as defined below), Cango has the right to send an irrevocable written notice (“Asset Disposal Notice”) to NT, requiring NT to initiate asset disposal for the Cash Asset Package.

1.2.

NT has the right (and shall use reasonable best efforts) to find a buyer for the Cash Asset Package on behalf of Cango within [Redacted] days after receiving the Asset Disposal Notice (“Disposal Period”) and dispose of the Cash Asset Package or any assets contained therein in a manner that complies with applicable laws and regulations according to terms and conditions that it deems appropriate. Cango undertakes to provide reasonable cooperation for NT’s disposal of the Cash Asset Package, including but not limited to reasonably cooperating with due diligence and on-site inspections by potential buyers, and signing documents related to asset transfer (but if the rights and obligations of the delivering party and the receiving party stipulated in such documents are materially different from the terms and conditions contained in the Cash Sale and Purchase Agreement, it shall be reasonably satisfactory to Cango), as well as reasonably cooperating with the closing.

1.3.

During the Disposal Period, all proceeds obtained from disposal of the Cash Asset Package (“Disposal Proceeds”) shall be directly paid by the buyer to the account designated in writing by Cango.

1.4.

On the date of expiration of the Disposal Period, if the cumulative Disposal Proceeds received by Cango are lower than the total value calculated based on the actual total computing power of the Cash Asset Package at the time of closing under the Cash Sale and Purchase Agreement at a price of (i) US$[Redacted] per T (as defined in the Equity Sale and Purchase Agreement) computing power in respect of the Triggering Event described in Article 2.1, or (ii) US$[Redacted] per T computing power in respect of the Triggering Event described in Article 2.2, then NT shall pay the shortfall (“Deficiency”) to the account designated in writing by Cango. When Cango has received the Deficiency in full, Cango shall deliver the remaining undisposed assets in the Cash Asset Package to NT or a third party designated by NT free of charge in the same manner as described in Article 4 of Exhibit A of the Cash Sale and Purchase Agreement, as if Cango is the delivering party and NT is the receiving party under this same provision.

1.5.

For the avoidance of doubt, once Cango sends an Asset Disposal Notice to NT, except as otherwise stipulated in the asset transfer document signed with the buyer of the Cash Asset Package, any proceeds (including any bitcoins) generated by the Cash Asset Package from the date of closing under the Cash Sale and Purchase Agreement (i.e. the actual computing power transfer) shall belong to NT and shall be paid by Cango to the account designated in writing by NT after Cango has received the Disposal Proceeds and Deficiency (if any) in full on the date of expiration of the Disposal Period. During this period, the electricity expenses related thereto shall be borne by NT.

1.6.

Any expenses related to the disposal of the aforementioned Cash Asset Package (including but not limited to any taxes, unloading, transportation or similar logistics costs, transaction fees or expenses) shall be borne by NT and Cango at [Redacted].

For the purposes of this Agreement, a “Triggering Event” refers to any one of the following:

2.1.

(i) The closing of the Cash Asset Package under the Cash Sale and Purchase Agreement has occurred, and (ii) the closing of the Equity Asset Package under the Equity Sale and Purchase Agreement cannot occur solely due to the closing condition stated in Article 5.1(d) of the Equity Sale and Purchase Agreement not being satisfied and the Equity Sale and Purchase Agreement is therefore terminated; or

2.2.

(i) The closing of the Cash Asset Package under the Cash Sale and Purchase Agreement has occurred, and (ii) the closing of the Equity Asset Package under the Equity Sale and Purchase Agreement cannot occur solely due to the closing condition stated in Article 5.2(a) of the Equity Sale and Purchase Agreement not being satisfied and the Equity Sale and Purchase Agreement is therefore terminated.

Maintenance of Cash Asset Package

3.1.

Within [Redacted] days from the closing date of the Cash Asset Package under the Cash Sale and Purchase Agreement (“Warranty Period”), if for reasons other than Force Majeure Events (as defined in the Equity Sale and Purchase Agreement), the overall effective computing power of the Cash Asset Package is lower than [Redacted] Exahashes (“Insufficient Computing Power Event”), then Cango shall first contact Bitmain and cooperate with Bitmain within one month thereafter (“BM Resolution Period”) to resolve the Insufficient Computing Power Event. During this process, NT shall cooperate with communication between Cango and Bitmain.

3.2.

If Cango and Bitmain fail to resolve the Insufficient Computing Power Event within the BM Resolution Period, Cango shall have the right to send a written notice (“Maintenance Notice”) to NT, requesting NT to cooperate in resolving the Insufficient Computing Power Event. After receiving the Maintenance Notice, NT shall make reasonable efforts to resolve the Insufficient Computing Power Event within one month, and Cango shall provide reasonable cooperation as NT may require from time to time.

3.3.

If during the Warranty Period, for reasons other than Force Majeure Events (as defined in the Equity Sale and Purchase Agreement), the average value of the overall effective computing power of the Cash Asset Package is lower than [Redacted] Exahashes for consecutive [Redacted] days, then NT shall pay a deposit to the account designated in writing by Cango. The amount of such deposit shall be the product of (i) the total computing power (calculated in T) of the relevant machines (“Problematic Machines”) in the Cash Asset Package that cause the Insufficient Computing Power Event and (ii) US$[Redacted] per T of computing power (“Deposit”).

3.4.

Subject to the provisions of Article 3.5, any income (including any Bitcoin) generated by the Problematic Machines from the date when NT pays the Deposit to Cango shall belong to NT. During this period, any electricity expenses related to the operation of the Problematic Machines shall be borne by NT, and Cango shall provide reasonable cooperation to NT for the aforesaid arrangements.

3.5.

On the date when the Insufficient Computing Power Event is resolved, Cango shall refund the full amount of the Deposit to the account designated in writing by NT. From the date when Cango refunds the full amount of the Deposit to the account designated in writing by NT, any income (including any Bitcoin) generated by the Problematic Machines shall belong to Cango, and any electricity expenses related to the operation of the Problematic Machines shall be borne by Cango.

3.6.

Any costs and expenses incurred by NT in resolving the Insufficient Computing Power Event in accordance with this Agreement shall be borne by NT and Cango at [Redacted].

Representations and Warranties. As of the date hereof, Cango and NT each make the following representations and warranties to the other party:

NOW THEREFORE in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements of the Parties as set forth in this Agreement, the receipt and sufficient of which is hereby irrevocably acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

1. INTRODUCTION OF HASH POWER COMPUTING SERVICE AND FEE

Hash power refers to a unit of measurement of data processing capability, that is, the unit that measures the ability of a miner to perform the hashing process (decode the hash output, also called “mining”). Hash power computing service means the service provided by Party A which involves the division of the ability of a certain number of equipment within a certain period into several standard units for sale (i.e., 1 Standard Unit=1TH/s or 1T) (“Service”) and Party A will not charge Party B anything other than the Service fee (“Service Fee”).

1.1 Specifications of Equipment Used by Party A

Party A will use uniform brand miners to perform the Service under this Agreement. The brand, model, theoretical hashrate and the quantity of the Equipment to be used for performing the Service under this Agreement during the validity of this Agreement shall be specified in service orders (“Service Order”) executed by the Parties. The template of Service Order is set forth in Appendix A.

1.2 Calculation and Billing of Service Fee

The Parties agree that Party A provides Service to Party B with its Equipment and Party B shall pay the Service Fee in USD.

The unit price for the Service per hashrate (the “Unit Price”) shall be determined in each Service Order. The Service Fee shall be invoiced and billed monthly and be theoretically calculated monthly in accordance with the formula below:

Service Fee = Unit Price ×Hashrate used for Service × Service Period

The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Service Fee may be adjusted by the period of the Service and the actual hash power provided by Party A during the month where the Service is rendered (the “Billing Period”). Party A shall send to Party B a written statement of actual hash power provided as well as the bill and invoice for the previous Billing Period. Party B shall check with Party A that the bill is correct before making payment and shall inform Party A if there are special circumstances that require delayed payment. Party B shall make the payment at such time and in such manner as be mutually agreed by both Parties in writing.

The Unit Price, Service Fee and other transaction details shall be specified in the Service Order executed by the Parties.

If the Expected Start Date in the Service Order is earlier than the Approval Date, BITMAIN will commence providing the Service on the approval date. For all purposes as between the Parties and their respective Affiliates, the commencement of BITMAIN’s provision of the Service shall be deemed as the “Closing” under this Agreement.
