In terms of capital cooperation, Honda plans to subscribe for Ningde era's non-public offering shares through its domestic subsidiary Honda Technology Research Industry (China) Investment Co., Ltd., accounting for about 1 per cent of the total share capital after the non-public offering.
In addition, when the Ningde era issues new shares in the future, under the circumstances permitted by applicable law, the Ningde era will provide certain priority rights to Honda within the agreed scope, and Honda will exercise the priority rights so that the proportion of shares held after the exercise of the rights shall not exceed the proportion of shares held by the company before the new shares are issued.
Commercial cooperation mainly involves battery supply, development cooperation and battery recycling or reuse. During the validity period of the agreement, Ningde Times will guarantee the supply of the agreed types of batteries to Honda on certain commercial preferential terms, subject to the separate purchase agreement signed between the company and Honda or its subsidiaries.
The two sides will also carry out joint development around power batteries, as well as joint research on future basic technologies. In terms of battery recovery and reuse, the two sides will jointly study the feasibility of recycling waste batteries, preparing lithium raw materials, or cascade utilization of power batteries.
