BEIJING, Jan. 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Autozi Internet Technology (Global) Ltd. (“Autozi” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: AZI), one of the leading and fast-growing lifecycle automotive service providers in China, today announced that it entered into a definitive Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with an institutional investor (the “Buyer”) on January 27, 2025, pursuant to which the Company issued to the Buyer a senior unsecured convertible note (the “Initial Note”) and warrant to purchase additional senior unsecured convertible notes (the “Warrants” and together with the Initial Note, the “Notes”). The closing of the transaction contemplated by the Agreement occurred on January 27, 2025 (the “Closing Date”). The transaction will result in gross proceeds to the Company of $27.5 million. Proceeds from the transaction will enhance Autozi’s financial flexibility to support its strategic growth initiatives and expand operational capacity.
Dr. Houqi Zhang, Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of Autozi, commented. “This financing represents a significant milestone for Autozi as we strengthen our foundation for sustainable growth and innovation. The capital raised will enable us to execute on three strategic priorities. First, we will actively pursue targeted mergers and acquisitions within China’s auto parts supply chain to achieve end-to-end coverage, enhancing our competitive edge and efficiency. Second, we are committed to building a cross-border supply chain platform, which will serve as the cornerstone for our global expansion and overseas market penetration. Third, we will further increase investment in R&D to advance our digital and intelligent platforms ensuring our technology remains at the forefront of industry trends. These initiatives reflect our vision to lead the automotive services sector through innovation, scale, and global reach, ultimately delivering sustainable value for our shareholders and partners.”
Under the Agreement, the Company will issue an additional Note in the principal amount of $500,000 on the effectiveness date of the registration statement registering the Class A ordinary shares of the Company (the “Ordinary Shares”) underlying the Notes. The Warrants are exercisable for additional Notes in an aggregate principal amount of up to $24,000,000 every 90 days following the Closing Date. The Notes are convertible into the Company’s Ordinary Shares at a conversion price determined based on the closing sale price of the Company’s Ordinary Shares at the time of conversion, subject to adjustment as provided in the Notes.
The Notes and Warrants were offered pursuant to exemptions from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D. The Notes, Warrants, and underlying Ordinary Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption. In connection with the transaction, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement, pursuant to which it has agreed to file a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to register the resale of the Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes. The Company plans to file a Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K with the SEC, which will include details of the Agreement, Notes, Warrants, and the Registration Rights Agreement.
