Microvast Statement on Status Under Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act

Microvast Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: MVST) (“Microvast” or the “Company”) confirmed today that on April 12, 2022, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) provisionally listed the Company as a “Commission-Identified Issuer,” which is a company that uses an auditor not subject to Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) inspection pursuant to the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the “HFCAA”).

This identification was expected by the Company as a routine application of the HFCAA following the Company’s filing of its annual report on Form 10-K with the SEC on March 29, 2022 (the “2021 Annual Report”).

The HFCAA is part of a continued United States regulatory focus on access to audit and other information currently protected by laws in jurisdictions outside of the United States (in particular, China). The HFCAA requires the SEC to prohibit the securities of any “Commission-Identified Issuer,” including the Company, from being traded on any of the U.S. securities exchanges if the auditor of the covered issuer’s financial statements is not subject to inspection by the PCAOB for three consecutive years, beginning in 2021.

Under the current terms of the HFCAA, the Company’s common stock and warrants will be delisted from the Nasdaq Global Select Market in early 2024, unless (i) the HFCAA is amended, (ii) the PCAOB is able to conduct a full inspection of the Company’s current auditor during the required timeframe or (iii) the Company is able to engage an independent public accounting firm that satisfies the PCAOB inspection requirements prior to filing its annual report on Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2023. In addition, legislation is being considered in the United States to shorten the number of non-inspection years from three years to two.

The Company will continue to monitor developments and will continue to evaluate available options for full compliance with the HFCAA within the requisite timeframe, including designing and implementing business processes and other changes to enable Microvast to engage an independent public accounting firm that satisfies the PCAOB inspection requirements.

For additional important information and disclosures on these topics, please refer to the 2021 Annual Report and other reports filed with the SEC at www.sec.gov.
