A total of over 3,600 rides have been completed in these four cities on Senmiao's online ride-hailing platform since it was launched in March 2022.

Qingdao is a popular tourist destination with historical and cultural significance. As a major city lying across the Shandong peninsula, Qingdao has an economic aggregate second to only Beijing and Tianjin in Northern China.
With a population of approximately 6.4 million, Nanchang is the capital of Jiangxi Province. Nanchang is adjacent to the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and Haixi Economic Zone, making it an important manufacturing center in China and one of the first low-carbon pilot cities in China.

These cities all play significant strategic roles in their regional economies and transportation networks, and we look forward to serving drivers and riders in these areas through our online ride-hailing platform as the pandemic environment continues to improve and travel restrictions within China and between countries eventually ease. We expect to launch in other major cities where we see growth potential, which may lead to increased cash flow generation from our online ride-hailing platform business."
