CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report (“Report”) contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements about future financial and operating results, our objectives, expectations and intentions with respect to future operations, products and services; and other statements identified by words such as “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimated,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” “projection,” “outlook” or words of similar meaning. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our industry and market sizes, and future opportunities for us. Such forward-looking statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of management and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond our control. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

There are important risks, uncertainties, events and factors that could cause our actual results or performance to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements contained in this document, including:

•risks of operations in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC” or “China”);

•the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic;

•the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and any restrictive actions that have been or may be taken by the United States (the “U.S.”) and/or other countries in response thereto, such as sanctions or export controls;

•risks related to cybersecurity and data privacy;

•the impact of inflation;

•changes in availability and price of raw materials;

•changes in the highly competitive market in which we compete, including with respect to our competitive landscape, technology evolution or regulatory changes;

•changes in the markets that we target;

•heightened awareness of environmental issues and concern about global warming and climate change;

•the risk that we may not be able to execute our growth strategies or achieve profitability;

•the risk that we are unable to secure or protect our intellectual property;

•the risk that we may experience effects from global supply chain challenges, including delays in delivering our products to our customers;

•the risk that our customers or third-party suppliers are unable to meet their obligations fully or in a timely manner;

•the risk that our customers will adjust, cancel or suspend their orders for our products;

•the risk that we will need to raise additional capital to execute our business plan, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all;

•the risk of product liability or regulatory lawsuits or proceedings relating to our products or services;

•the risk that we may not be able to develop and maintain effective internal controls; and

•the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against us or any of our directors or officers.

The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive and new factors may emerge from time to time that could also affect actual performance and results. For more information, please see the risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 in Part I, Item 1A and in the Registration Statement on Form S-1, (File No. 333-258978), which was initially filed on August 20, 2021, and as further amended, and subsequent filings with the SEC.

Actual results, performance or achievements may differ materially, and potentially adversely, from any forward-looking statements and the assumptions on which those forward-looking statements are based. There can be no assurance that the data contained herein is reflective of future performance to any degree. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a predictor of future performance as forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to various significant risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

All information set forth herein speaks only as of the date hereof, and we disclaim any intention or obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of developments occurring after the date hereof except as may be required under applicable securities laws. Forecasts and estimates regarding our industry and end markets are based on sources we believe to be reliable, however there can be no assurance these forecasts and estimates will prove accurate in whole or in part.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2022

(In thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share data, or as otherwise noted)

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Microvast Holdings, Inc. (“Microvast” or the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group”) are primarily engaged in developing, manufacturing, and selling electronic power products for electric vehicles primarily in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) and Europe.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation and use of estimates

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Security and Exchange Commission and U.S. generally accepted accounting standards (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted from these interim financial statements.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2021 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 29, 2022, which provides a more complete discussion of the Company’s accounting policies and certain other information. In the opinion of the management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of financial results for the interim periods presented. The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.

The financial information as of December 31, 2021 included on the condensed consolidated balance sheets is derived from the Group’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Except for the adoption of ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326) on January 1, 2022, there have been no significant changes to the significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 2 of the audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019.

Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Group’s financial statements include allowance for credit losses, provision for obsolete inventories, impairment of long-lived assets, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, product warranty, fair value measurement of warrant liability and share based compensation.

All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

On July 23, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), Tuscan Holdings Corp. (“Tuscan”), consummated the previously announced merger with Microvast, Inc., a Delaware corporation, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) dated February 1, 2021, between Tuscan, Microvast, Inc. and TSCN Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which the Merger Sub merged with and into Microvast, Inc., with Microvast, Inc. surviving the merger (the “Business Combination,” and, collectively with the other transactions described in the Merger Agreement, the “Reverse Recapitalization”). As a result of the Business Combination, Tuscan was renamed “Microvast Holdings, Inc.” .

MARCH 31, 2022

(In thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share data, or as otherwise noted)

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Basis of presentation and use of estimates-continued

The Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization under U.S. GAAP. This determination is primarily based on (1) Microvast, Inc.’s stockholders comprising a relative majority of the voting power of the Company and having the ability to nominate the members of the Board, (2) Microvast, Inc.’s operations prior to the acquisition comprising the only ongoing operations of the Company, and (3) Microvast, Inc.’s senior management comprising a majority of the senior management of the Company. Under this method of accounting, Tuscan is treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the financial statements of the Company represent a continuation of the financial statements of Microvast, Inc. with the Business Combination being treated as the equivalent of Microvast, Inc. issuing stock for the net assets of Tuscan, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Tuscan are stated at historical costs, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded and are consolidated with Microvast Inc.’s financial statements on the Closing Date. Operations prior to the Business Combination are presented as those of Microvast, Inc. The shares and net loss per share available to holders of the Company’s Common Stock, prior to the Business Combination, have been retroactively restated as shares reflecting the Common Exchange Ratio established in the Business Combination Agreement.

Each of the options to purchase Microvast, Inc.’s common stock that was outstanding before the Business Combination was converted into options to acquire Common Stock by computing the number of shares and converting the exercise price based on the exchange ratio of 160.3 (the “Common Exchange Ratio”).

Emerging Growth Company

Pursuant to the JOBS Act, an emerging growth company (the “EGC”) may adopt new or revised accounting standards that may be issued by FASB or the SEC either (i) within the same periods as those otherwise applicable to non-emerging growth companies or (ii) within the same time periods as private companies. The Company intends to take advantage of the exemption for complying with new or revised accounting standards within the same time periods as private companies. Accordingly, the information contained herein may be different than the information provided by other public companies.

The Company also intends to take advantage of some of the reduced regulatory and reporting requirements of emerging growth companies pursuant to the JOBS Act so long as the Company qualifies as an emerging growth company, including, but not limited to, an exemption from the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation, and exemptions from the requirements of holding non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation and golden parachute payments.

Revenue recognition

Nature of Goods and Services

The Group’s revenue consists primarily of sales of lithium-ion batteries. The obligation of the Group is providing the electronic power products. Revenue is recognized at the point of time when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Group expects to be entitled to in exchange for the goods or services.

Disaggregation of revenue

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2022, the Group derived revenues from geographic regions as follows:

Contract balances

Contract balances include accounts receivable and advances from customers. Accounts receivable represent cash not received from customers and are recorded when the rights to consideration is unconditional. The allowance for credit losses reflects the best estimate of probable losses inherent to the accounts receivable balance. Contract liabilities, recorded in advance from customers in the consolidated balance sheets, represent payment received in advance or payment received related to a material right provided to a customer to acquire additional goods or services at a discount in a future period. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2022, the Group recognized $1,186 and $479 of revenue previously included in advance from customers as of January 1, 2021 and January 1, 2022, respectively, which consist of payments received in advance related to its sales of lithium batteries.

Share-based compensation

Share-based payment transactions with employees are measured based on the grant date fair value of the equity instrument and recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, with a corresponding impact reflected in additional paid-in capital. For share-based awards granted with performance condition, the compensation cost is recognized when it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved. The Company reassesses the probability of achieving the performance condition at the end of each reporting date and records a cumulative catch-up adjustment for any changes to its assessment. For stock options and performance-based awards with a market condition, such as awards using total shareholder return (“TSR”) as a performance metric, compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated service period of the award, regardless of whether the market condition is satisfied. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur. Liability-classified awards are remeasured at their fair-value-based measurement as of each reporting date until settlement.

Operating leases

On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASC 842”), using the modified retrospective transition method resulting in the recording of operating lease right-of-use (ROU) assets of $18,826 and operating lease liabilities of $18,776 upon adoption. Prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the previous accounting guidance. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material effect on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2022, the Company recorded operating lease right-of-use (ROU) assets of $18,388 and operating lease liabilities of $18,323, including current portion in the amount of $2,177, which was recorded under accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the balance sheet.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Operating leases-continued

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at lease inception. Operating leases are required to record in the statement of financial position as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments. The Company has elected the package of practical expedients, which allows the Company not to reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts as of the adoption date are or contain a lease, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases as of the adoption date and (3) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases as of the adoption date. The Company also elected the practical expedient not to separate lease and non-lease components of contracts. Lastly, for lease assets other than real estate, such as printing machine and electronic appliances, the Company elected the short-term lease exemption as their lease terms are 12 months or less.

As the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the Company estimates its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is estimated in a portfolio approach to approximate the interest rate on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments in a similar economic environment. Lease expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Warrant Liability

The Company accounts for warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40 under which the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. As the Private Warrants (as defined in Note 10 - Warrants) meet the definition of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815, the Company classifies the Private Warrants as liabilities. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the condensed statements of operations. The Private Warrants are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model on the basis of the quoted market price of Public Warrants.

Recent accounting pronouncements adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The guidance supersedes existing guidance on accounting for leases with the main difference being that operating leases are to be recorded in the statement of financial position as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments. For operating leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election not to recognize lease assets and liabilities. For public companies, the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application of the guidance is permitted. In July 2018, ASU 2016-02 was updated with ASU 2018-11, Targeted Improvements to ASC 842, which provides entities with relief from the costs of implementing certain aspects of the new leasing standard. Specifically, under the amendments in ASU 2018-11, (1) entities may elect not to recast the comparative periods presented when transitioning to ASC 842 and (2) lessors may elect not to separate lease and nonlease components when certain conditions are met. Before ASU 2018-11 was issued, transition to the new lease standard required application of the new guidance at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements.

As an EGC, the Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2022, and elected not to recast the comparative periods presented. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations or consolidated statements of cash flows, and the adoption of Topic 842 did not result in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. Further information is disclosed in Note 12 – Leases.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Recent accounting pronouncements adopted-continued

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. As an EGC, the Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2022, using a modified retrospective transition method and did not restate the comparable periods, which resulted in a cumulative-effect adjustment to decrease the opening balance of retained earnings on January 1, 2022 by $866. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)-Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity.” The ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for it. The ASU also simplifies the diluted net income per share calculation in certain areas. For SEC filers, excluding smaller reporting companies, ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. For all other entities, ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2020-06 may have on the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Convertible Bonds issued to Huzhou Saiyuan

On December 29, 2018, MPS signed an agreement with Huzhou Saiyuan, an entity established by the local government, to issue convertible bonds to Huzhou Saiyuan for a total consideration of $87,776 (RMB600 million). The Company pledged its 12.39% equity holding over MPS to Huzhou Saiyuan to facilitate the issuance of convertible bonds. As of March 31, 2022, the subscription and outstanding balance of the convertible bonds was $73,147 (RMB500 million).

If the subscribed bonds are not repaid by the maturity date, Huzhou Saiyuan has the right to dispose of the equity interests pledged by the Company in proportion to the amount of matured bonds, or convert the bond to the equity interests of MPS within 60 days after the maturity date. If Huzhou Saiyuan decides to convert the bonds to equity interests of MPS, the equity interests pledged would be released and the convertible bonds should be converted to the equity interest of MPS based on the entity value of MPS at $950,000.

On September 28, 2020, MPS signed a supplemental agreement for extension on repayment of convertible bonds to Huzhou Saiyuan, and the terms on repayments and interests are as follows:

Convertible Notes at Fair Value (the “Bridge Notes”)

On January 4, 2021, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement to issue $57,500 convertible promissory notes to certain investors, fully due and payable on the third anniversary of the initial closing date. The notes bore no interest, provided, however, if a liquidity event (“Liquidity Event”) had not occurred prior to June 30, 2022, an interest rate of 6% would be applied retrospectively from the date of initial closing. The conversion of the promissory notes was contingent upon the occurrence of a Private Investment in Public Equity (“PIPE”) financing, a Liquidity Event or a new financing after June 30, 2022 but before the maturity date (“Next Financing”).

The fair value option was elected for the measurement of the convertible notes. Changes in fair value, a loss of $3,600 were recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

On July 23, 2021, upon the completion of the Business Combination between Microvast, Inc. and Tuscan, the convertible promissory notes were converted into 6,736,106 shares of Common Stock of the combined company.

NOTE 10. WARRANTS

The Company assumed 27,600,000 publicly-traded warrants (“Public Warrants”) and 837,000 private placement warrants issued to Tuscan Holdings Acquisition LLC (the “Sponsor”) and EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. (“EarlyBirdCapital”) (“Private Warrants” and together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”) upon the Business Combination, all of which were issued in connection with Tuscan’s initial public offering (other than 150,000 Private Warrants that were issued in connection with the closing of the Business Combination) and entitle the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, none of Public Warrants and Private Warrants were exercised.

The Public Warrants became exercisable 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination. No Warrants will be exercisable for cash unless the Company registered Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants with the SEC. Since the registration of shares was not completed within 90 days following the Business Combination, warrant holders may exercise Warrants on a net-share settlement basis. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

Once the Public Warrants became exercisable, the Company may redeem the Public Warrants:

•in whole and not in part;

•at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

•upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption;

•if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Company’s Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20-trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the notice of redemption to the warrant holders; and

•if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants.

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a net-share settlement basis.

The Private Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that the Private Warrants will be exercisable for cash or on a net-share settlement basis, at the holder’s option, and be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants. In addition, so long as the Private Warrants are held by EarlyBirdCapital and its designee, the Private Warrants will expire five years from the effective date of the Business Combination.

The exercise price and number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the Warrants will not be adjusted for issuance of Common Stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Warrants.

The private warrant liability was remeasured at fair value as of March 31, 2022, resulting in a loss of $435 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, classified within change in fair value of warrant liability in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

NOTE 10. WARRANTS - continued

The Private Warrants were valued using the following assumptions under the Monte Carlo Model that assumes optimal exercise of the Company’s redemption option at the earliest possible date:


	March 31, 2022
Market price of public stock	$	6.70
Exercise price	$	11.50
Expected term (years)	4.32
Volatility	50.41		%
Risk-free interest rate	2.41		%
Dividend rate	0.00		%

The market price of public stock is the quoted market price of the Company’s Common Stock as of the valuation date. The exercise price is extracted from the warrant agreements. The expected term is derived from the exercisable years based on the warrant agreements. The expected volatility is a blend of implied volatility from the Company’s own public warrant pricing and the average volatility of peer companies. The risk-free interest rate was estimated based on the market yield of US Government Bond with maturity close to the expected term of the warrants. The dividend yield was estimated by the Company based on its expected dividend policy over the expected term of the warrants.

NOTE 11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Measured or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis

The Group measured its financial assets and liabilities, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and warrant liability at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022. Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued based on the quoted market price in an active market. The fair value of the warrant liability is based on significant unobservable inputs, which represent Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. In determining the fair value of the warrant liability, the Company used the Monte Carlo that assumes optimal exercise of the Company’s redemption option at the earliest possible date. See Note 10 – Warrants.

As of December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022, information about inputs for the fair value measurements of the Group’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in periods subsequent to their initial recognition is as follow:

NOTE 13. SHARE-BASED PAYMENT

On July 21, 2021, the Company adopted the Microvast Holdings, Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”), effective upon the Closing Date. The 2021 Plan provides for the grant of incentive and non-qualified stock option, restricted stock units, restricted share awards, stock appreciation awards, and cash-based awards to employees, directors, and consultants of the Company. Options awarded under the 2021 Plan expire no more than 10 years from the date of grant. Concurrently with the closing of the Business Combination, the share awards granted under 2012 Share Incentive Plan of Microvast, Inc. (the "2012 Plan") were rolled over by removing original performance conditions and converting into options and capped non-vested share units with modified vesting schedule, using the Common Exchange Ratio of 160.3. The 2021 Plan reserves 5% of the fully-diluted shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately following the Closing Date (not including the shares underlying awards rolled over from the 2012 Plan) for issuance in accordance with the 2021 Plan’s terms. As of March 31, 2022, 76,660,009 shares of Common Stock was available under the 2021 Plan.

The total unrecognized equity-based compensation costs as of March 31, 2022 related to the non-vested share units was $111,728.

Restricted Stock Units

Following the Business Combination, the Company granted 437,377 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and 328,789 performance-based restricted stock unit (“PSU”) awards subject to service, performance and/or market conditions. The service condition requires the participant’s continued services or employment with the Company through the applicable vesting date, and the performance condition requires the achievement of the performance criteria defined in the award agreement. The market condition is based on the Company’s TSR relative to a comparator group during a specified performance period.

The fair value of RSUs is determined by the market closing price of Common Stock at the grant date and is amortized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. For RSU awards with performance conditions, share-based compensation expense is only recognized if the performance conditions become probable to be satisfied.

The fair value of PSUs that include vesting based on market conditions are estimated using the Monte Carlo valuation method. Compensation cost for these awards is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period based on the grant date fair value, regardless of whether the market condition is satisfied.

Accordingly, the Company recorded share-based compensation expense of $344 related to these RSUs and $359 related to these PSUs during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

1 The amount represented modification date value per share. As of modification date, the settled price was the capped price as described above.

NOTE 16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

•Mr. Smith

On September 4, 2017, Matthew Smith, a former employee of the Company, sent a demand letter to the Company alleging claims for breach of contract (involving stock options) and discrimination. On October 5, 2017, Mr. Smith filed a charge of discrimination with the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) alleging the same discrimination claims and also claiming his employment was terminated in retaliation for his prior discrimination complaints. On September 18, 2019, EEOC dismissed Matthew Smith’s claim in its entirety and stated that “No finding is made as to any other issues that might be constructed as having been raised by this charge.”

On February 5, 2018, Mr. Smith filed suit against the Company asserting claims for breach of contract and asserting discrimination and retaliation claims. In this action, Mr. Smith seeks the following relief: (1) a declaration that he owns 2,600 ordinary shares (the equivalent of 416,780 shares following the Business Combination) and (2) various damages and other equitable remedies over $1,000. The Company has denied all allegations and wrongful conduct. A trial is currently expected to begin in mid-2022.

The outcome of any litigation is inherently uncertain and the amount of potential loss if any, associated with the resolution of such litigation, cannot be reasonably estimated. As such, no accrual for contingency loss was recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2022.

Capital commitments

Capital commitments for construction of property and purchase of property, plant and equipment were $234,613 as of March 31, 2022, which is mainly for the construction of lithium battery production lines.

NOTE 17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

New RSU and PSU Grants

On April 28, 2022, the Company granted 513,067 RSUs and 432,366 PSUs to employees, subject to performance and market conditions, respectively, as well as a service condition. The service condition requires the participant’s continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting date(s), the performance condition requires the achievement of the performance criteria defined in the award agreement, and the market condition is based on the Company's TSR relative to a comparator group during a specified performance period.

New Stock Option Grants

On April 14, 2022, the Company granted 1,800,000 stock options to two new executive officers with an exercise price of $5.69 per share, subject to service conditions. The service conditions require the participant’s continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting dates.

Acceleration of Outstanding Equity Awards

On April 14, 2022, the former chief financial officer's employment with the Company terminated. Simultaneously, a transition services agreement was entered into between the Company and the former chief financial officer for the provision of advisory services with an initial term of 18 months commencing on the date of employment termination. In connection with the employment termination, all 2,860,713 non-vested capped restricted share units and 1,122,100 stock options held by the former chief financial officer were immediately vested in full, with the stock options remaining exercisable until three months following the termination of his transition services in accordance with the terms and conditions of the stock option award agreement. The Company is in process of assessing any accounting implications.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

References in this Report to the “Company,” “Microvast Holdings, Inc.,” “Microvast,” “our,” “us” or “we” refer to Microvast Holdings, Inc. The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim condensed financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

Completion of the Business Combination

On July 23, 2021, Microvast Holdings, Inc. (formerly known as Tuscan Holdings Corp.) consummated the previously announced acquisition of Microvast, Inc., a Delaware corporation, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated February 1, 2021, between Tuscan Holdings Corp., Microvast and TSCN Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into Microvast, with Microvast surviving the merger (the “Business Combination”).

Company’s Business following the Business Combination

We are a technology innovator for lithium ion batteries. We design, develop and manufacture battery systems for electric vehicles and energy storage that feature ultra-fast charging capabilities, long life and superior safety. Our vision is to solve the key constraints in electric vehicle development and in high-performance energy storage applications. We believe the ultra-fast charging capabilities of our battery systems make charging electric vehicles as convenient as fueling conventional vehicles. We believe that the long battery life of our battery systems also reduces the total cost of ownership of electric vehicles and energy storage applications.

We offer our customers a broad range of cell chemistries: lithium titanate oxide (“LTO”), lithium iron phosphate (“LFP”), nickel manganese cobalt version 1 (“NMC-1”) and nickel manganese cobalt version 2 (“NMC-2”). Based on our customer’s application, we design, develop and integrate the preferred chemistry into our cell, module and pack manufacturing capabilities. Our strategic priority is to offer these battery solutions for commercial vehicles and energy storage systems. We define commercial vehicles as light, medium, heavy-duty trucks, buses, trains, mining trucks, marine applications, automated guided and specialty vehicles. For energy storage applications, we focus on high-performance applications such as grid management and frequency regulation.

Additionally, as a vertically integrated battery company, we design, develop and manufacture the following battery components: cathode, anode, electrolyte and separator. We also intend to market our full concentration gradient (“FCG”) cathode and polyaramid separator to passenger car original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and consumer electronics manufacturers.

As of March 31, 2022, we had a backlog order of approximately $120.8 million for our battery systems, equivalent to approximately 327.6 megawatt hours (“MWh”), compared to a backlog order of approximately $65.1 million for our battery systems, equivalent to approximately 184.2 MWh, as of March 31, 2021. The backlog increase was a result of increased customer demand for our products. Our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased $21.7 million, or 145.5%, compared to the same period in 2021.

After initially focusing on the PRC and the Asia & Pacific regions, we have expanded and continue to expand our presence and product promotion to Europe and the U.S. to capitalize on their rapidly growing electrification markets. We have many prototype projects ongoing with regard to sports cars, commercial vehicles, trucks, port equipment and marine applications with customers in the Western Hemisphere. In addition, we are jointly developing electric power-train solutions with leading commercial vehicle OEMs and a first-tier automotive supplier using LTO, NMC-1 and NMC-2 technologies.

Key Factors Affecting Our Performance

We believe that our future success will be dependent on several factors, including the factors discussed below. While these areas represent opportunities for us, they also represent challenges and risks that we must successfully address in order to continue the growth of our business and improve our results of operations.

Table of Contents

Technology and Product Innovation

Our financial performance is driven by development and sales of new products with innovative technology. Our ability to develop innovative technology has been and will continue to be dependent on our dedicated research team. As part of our efforts to develop innovative technology, in October 2021, we expanded our research and development (“R&D”) in Orlando by purchasing a 75,000 square foot facility dedicated to R&D. We plan to continue expanding our R&D presence in the U.S. We also plan to continue leveraging our knowledge base in the PRC and to continue expanding our R&D efforts there as well. We expect our results of operations will continue to be impacted by our ability to develop new products with improved performance and reduced ownership cost, as well as the cost of our R&D efforts.

Market Demand

Our revenue and profitability depend substantially on the demand for battery systems and battery components, which is driven by the growth of the commercial and passenger electric vehicle and energy storage markets. Many factors contribute to the development of the electric vehicles sector, including product innovation, general economic and political conditions, environmental concerns, energy demand, government support and economic incentives. While governmental economic incentives and mandates can drive market demand for electric vehicles, and as a result, battery systems and components, governmental economic incentives are being gradually reduced or eliminated. Any reduction or elimination of governmental economic incentives may result in reduced demand for our products and adversely affect our financial performance.

Manufacturing Capacity

Our growth depends on being able to meet anticipated demand for our products. In order to do this, we will need to increase our manufacturing capacity. As of March 31, 2022, we had a backlog of approximately $120.8 million for our battery systems, equivalent to approximately 327.6 MWh. So far, we have used $87.9 million and $41.1 million of the proceeds from the Business Combination to expand our manufacturing facilities and for the purchase of property and equipment associated with our existing manufacturing and R&D facilities, in 2021 and first quarter of 2022, respectively. This investment program allows us to increase our manufacturing output, enabling us to address our backlog and to capture growing market opportunities. We expect the total capital expenditures related to these capacity expansions in Huzhou, China and Clarksville, Tennessee which will give us an additional 4 GWh of capacity, to be in the range of $446.0 million.

Future capacity expansions will be carried out in a measured manner based on our ongoing assessment of medium- and long-term demand for our solutions. Any such capacity expansions will require significant additional capital expenditures and will require corresponding expansion of our supporting infrastructure, further development of our sales and marketing team, expansion of our customer base and strengthened quality control.

Sales Geographic Mix

After primarily being focused on the PRC and Asia & Pacific regions, we have expanded and are continuing to expand our presence and product promotion to Europe and the U.S. to capitalize on the rapidly growing electric vehicle markets in those geographies. As we continue to expand our geographic focus to Europe and the U.S., we believe sales of our products in Europe and the U.S. will continue to generate higher gross margins because average sales prices for customers in the U.S. and Europe are typically significantly higher than the average sales prices in the PRC. It has been our experience that buyers in Europe and the U.S. are more motivated by the technologies, and the quality of our products than are buyers in the PRC, making them less sensitive to the price of our products than are similarly situated buyers in the PRC. Therefore, the geographic source of our revenue will have an impact on our revenue and gross margins.

Manufacturing Costs

Our profitability may also be affected by our ability to effectively manage our manufacturing costs. Our manufacturing costs are affected by fluctuations in the price of raw materials. If raw material prices increase, we will have to offset these higher costs either through price increases to our customers or through productivity improvements. Our ability to control our raw materials costs is also dependent on our ability to negotiate with our suppliers for a better price and our ability to source raw materials from reliable suppliers in a cost-efficient manner. In addition, we expect that an increase in our sales volume will enable us to lower our manufacturing costs through economies of scale.

Table of Contents

Regulatory Landscape

We operate in an industry that is subject to many established environmental regulations, which have generally become more stringent over time, particularly with respect to hazardous waste generation and disposal and pollution control. These regulations affect the cost of our products and our gross margins. We are also affected by regulations in our target markets such as economic incentives to purchasers of electric vehicles, tax credits for electric vehicle manufacturers, and economic penalties that may apply to a car manufacturer based on its fleet-wide emissions. Each of these regulations may expand the market size of electric vehicles, which would, in turn, benefit us. We have operations and sales in the PRC, the Asia & Pacific region, Europe and the U.S. and, as a result, changes in trade restrictions and tariffs could impact our ability to meet projected sales or margins.

COVID-19

To date, COVID-19 has had an adverse impact on our sales and operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we continued to face unanticipated challenges caused by the continued impact of global pandemic and emerging variants of the virus, in particular due to new lockdowns and restrictive measures in Shanghai, China. The most recent lockdowns measures in China began in March 2022 and have not yet directly impacted our manufacturing facility in Huzhou, China (located in a neighboring province to Shanghai). However, these lockdowns have impacted the operations of certain of our third-party suppliers, our ability to book transportation of goods to, from and through Shanghai (a major port), and the restrictive measures have further disrupted supply chains across many industries around the globe. These and future lockdown measures may impact our ability to produce and/or timely deliver goods and services to our clients globally and further disruptions to supply chains in the automotive industry may continue to reduce and/or delay our customers' demand for our products and services.

Basis of Presentation

We currently conduct our business through one operating segment. Our historical results are reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP and in U.S. dollars.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception, we have financed our operations primarily from capital contributions from equity holders, the issuance of convertible notes and bank borrowings. We expect existing cash, cash equivalents, short-term marketable securities, and cash flows from operations and financing activities to continue to be sufficient to fund our operating activities and cash commitments for investing and financing activities for at least the next 12 months and thereafter for the foreseeable future.

As of March 31, 2022, our principal sources of liquidity were our cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $416.2 million.

The consolidated net cash position as of March 31, 2022 included cash and cash equivalents of $20.1 million, $3.2 million and $0.3 million held by our PRC, German and UK subsidiaries, respectively, that is not available to fund domestic operations unless funds are repatriated. Should we need to repatriate to the U.S. part or all of the funds held by our international subsidiaries in the form of a dividend, we would need to accrue and pay withholding taxes. We do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future and intend to retain all of the available funds and any future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business in the PRC, Europe and the U.S.

We continue to assess the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the Russia/Ukraine crisis on our operations. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact our business and operations will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, such as the continuing spread of the infection, new and emerging variants of the virus, the duration of the pandemic, and the effectiveness of actions taken in the U.S. and other countries to contain and treat the disease. The extent to which the Russia/Ukraine crisis will impact our business and operations will also depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including restrictive actions that have been and may be taken in the future by the U.S. and/or other countries, such as sanctions or export controls, and the duration of the conflict.

Table of Contents

Financings

As of March 31, 2022, we had bank borrowings of $13.3 million, the terms of which range from 5 months to 12 months. The interest rates of our bank borrowings ranged from 3.80% to 6.00% per annum. As of March 31, 2022, we had convertible bonds of $73.1 million, with interest rates ranging from 0% to 4%. The convertible bonds are due as follows: $29.2 million in 2023; $29.2 million in 2024; and $14.7 million in 2026. As of March 31, 2022, we were in compliance with all material terms and covenants of our loan agreements, credit agreements, bonds and notes.

On July 23, 2021, we received $708.4 million from the completion of the Business Combination, $705.1 million net of transaction costs paid by Microvast, Inc. We used $87.9 million and $41.1 million of the net proceeds from the Business Combination to expand our manufacturing facilities and for the purchase of property and equipment associated with our existing manufacturing and R&D facilities, and $23.9 million and $18.3 million of the net proceeds were used for working capital during 2021 and first quarter of 2022, respectively. For the rest of 2022, we plan to spend an additional $260.0 million to $310.0 million on these capacity expansions at our facilities with the timing of payments being linked to various agreed milestones with our third-party contractors.

We believe we will be able to meet our working capital requirements for at least the next 12 months and fund our expansion plans with proceeds from the Business Combination.

Capital expenditures and other contractual obligations

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, funding for planned production capacity expansion and general working capital. We believe the proceeds from the Business Combination will be sufficient to cover our planned expansions and our general working capital needs. In addition, we may in the future enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary businesses or technologies. We may need to seek additional equity or debt financing in order to meet these future capital requirements. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, or on terms that are acceptable to us, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Lease Commitments

We lease certain facilities and equipment under non-cancellable lease agreements that expire at various dates through 2036. For additional information, see Note 12 – Leases, in the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Capital Expenditures

In 2021, we started our capacity expansion plans in Huzhou, China, Berlin, Germany and Clarksville, Tennessee. The project in Germany was completed in 2021, and the Huzhou, China and Clarksville, Tennessee projects are expected to be completed in 2023. The completion of these projects is expected to increase our existing production capacity by 4 GWh once operational. We expect the total capital expenditures related to these capacity expansions in Huzhou, China and Clarksville, Tennessee to be approximately $446.0 million, which we plan to finance primarily through the proceeds from the Business Combination, which we believe will be sufficient to cover all of the disclosed and estimated costs.

Our planned capital expenditures are based on management’s current estimates and may be subject to change. There can be no assurance that we will execute our capital expenditure plans as contemplated at or below-estimated costs, and we may also from time-to-time determine to undertake additional capital projects and incur additional capital expenditures. As a result, actual capital expenditures in future years may be more or less than the amounts shown.

There have not been any other material changes during the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 to the amounts presented in the table summarizing our contractual obligations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit

Cost of revenues include direct and indirect materials, manufacturing overhead (including depreciation, freight and logistics), warranty reserves and expenses, and labor costs and related personnel expenses, including share-based compensation and other related expenses that are directly attributable to the manufacturing of products.

Gross profit is equal to revenues less cost of revenues. Gross profit margin is equal to gross profit divided by revenues.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses consist of selling and marketing, general and administrative and research and development expenses.

Selling and marketing expenses. Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs associated with our sales and marketing functions, including share-based compensation, and other expenses related to advertising and promotions of our products. We intend to hire additional sales personnel, initiate additional marketing programs and build additional relationships with our customers. Accordingly, we expect that our selling and marketing expenses will continue to increase in absolute dollars in the long term as we expand our business.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses associated with our executive team members, including share-based compensation, legal, finance, human resource and information technology functions, as well as fees for professional services, depreciation and amortization and insurance expenses. We expect to incur additional costs as we hire personnel and enhance our infrastructure to support the anticipated growth of our business.

Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses, including share-based compensation, raw material expenses relating to materials used for experiments, utility expenses and depreciation expenses attributable to research and development activities. Over time, we expect our research and development expense to increase in absolute dollars as we continue to make significant investments in developing new products, applications, functionality and other offerings.

Subsidy Income

Government subsidies represent government grants received from local government authorities. The amounts of and conditions attached to each subsidy were determined at the sole discretion of the relevant governmental authorities. Our subsidy income is non-recurring in nature.

Other Income and Expenses

Other income and expenses consist primarily of interest expense associated with our debt financing arrangements, interest income earned on our cash balances, gains and losses from foreign exchange conversion, and gains and losses on disposal of assets.

Income Tax Expense

We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions in which we do business, namely the PRC, Germany and the United Kingdom. These foreign jurisdictions have statutory tax rates different from those in the U.S. Accordingly, our effective tax rates will vary depending on the relative proportion of foreign to U.S. income, the absorption of foreign tax credits, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities and changes in tax laws. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from the examination of our tax returns by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), and other tax authorities to determine the adequacy of our income tax reserves and expense. Should actual events or results differ from our current expectations, charges or credits to our income tax expense may become necessary. Any such adjustments could have a significant impact on our results of operations.

Income tax in the PRC is generally calculated at 25% of the estimated assessable profit of our subsidiaries in the PRC, except that two of our PRC subsidiaries were qualified as “High and New Tech Enterprises” and thus enjoyed a preferential income tax rate of 15%. Federal corporate income tax rate of 21% is applied for our U.S. entity. Income tax in the United Kingdom is calculated at an average tax rate of 19% of the estimated assessable profit of our subsidiary in the United Kingdom. German enterprise income tax, which is a combination of corporate income tax and trade tax, is calculated at 29.1% of the estimated assessable profit of our subsidiary in Germany.

Revenues

Our revenues increased from approximately $14.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to approximately $36.7 million for the same period in 2022, primarily driven by (i) an increase in sales volume from approximately 58.5 MWh for three months ended March 31, 2021 to approximately 113.9 MWh for the same period in 2022, (ii) an increase in average selling price due primarily to product mix and (iii) a higher mix of sales outside of the PRC, which generally have a higher average selling price per unit.

Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit

Our cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased $20.5 million, or 126.6%, compared to the same period in 2021.

Our gross margin increased from (8.3)% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to 0.0% for the same period in 2022. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to the increase in the average selling price of our products for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and a result of better economies of scale resulting from increasing sales volume, offset by (i) the increases in material prices and (ii) $1.9 million of share-based compensation expenses we began recognizing based on modified vesting conditions after the Business Combination.

Operating Expenses

Selling and Marketing

Selling and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased $2.8 million, or 90.1%, compared to the same period in 2021. The increase in selling and marketing expenses was primarily due to $2.9 million of share-based compensation expenses we began recognizing based on modified vesting conditions after the Business Combination.

General and Administrative

General and Administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased $21.5 million, or 470.6%, compared to the same period in 2021. The increase in General and Administrative expenses was primarily due to $18.1 million of share-based compensation expenses we began recognizing based on modified vesting conditions after the Business Combination and other increases of business expansion.

Research and Development

R&D expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased $7.5 million, or 198.7%, compared to the same period in 2021. The increase in R&D expenses was primarily due to $5.1 million of share-based compensation expenses we began recognizing based on modified vesting conditions after the Business Combination and other increases of business expansion.

Subsidy Income

Subsidy income decreased from $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $0.1 million in the same period in 2022, primarily due to a one-time award granted by local governments in the PRC in 2021.

Loss on change in fair value of warrant liability

In the three months ended March 31, 2022, we incurred a loss of $0.4 million due to the change in fair value of the warrant liability.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Our actual results could differ from these estimates.

Table of Contents

There have been no substantial changes to these estimates, or the policies related to them during the three months ended March 31, 2022. For a full discussion of these estimates and policies, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

Our cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and money market accounts. Such interest-earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. To date, fluctuations in interest income have not been significant. Our borrowings under our line of credit carry variable interest rates so such risks are limited as it relates to our current borrowings.

The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while maximizing income without significantly increasing risk. Because our cash equivalents have a short maturity, our portfolio’s fair value is relatively insensitive to interest rate changes. We do not believe that an increase or decrease in interest rates of 100 basis points would have a material effect on our operating results or financial condition. In future periods, we will continue to evaluate our investment policy in order to ensure that we continue to meet our overall objectives.

Foreign Currency Risk

Our major operational activities are carried out in the PRC and a majority of the transactions are denominated in Renminbi. The volatility of exchange rates depends on many factors that we cannot forecast with reliable accuracy. We have experienced and will continue to experience fluctuations in our operating results as a result of transaction gains and losses related to translating certain cash balances, trade accounts receivable and payable balances, and intercompany balances that are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, principally Renminbi. The effect of an immediate 10% adverse change in foreign exchange rates on Renminbi-denominated accounts as of March 31, 2022, including intercompany balances, would result in a foreign currency loss of $3.4 million. In the event our foreign sales and expenses increase, our operating results may be more greatly affected by fluctuations in the exchange rates of the currencies in which we do business. At this time, we do not, but we may in the future, enter into derivatives or other financial instruments in an attempt to hedge our foreign currency exchange risk. It is difficult to predict the impact hedging activities would have on our results of operations.

Credit Risk

Our credit risk primarily relates to our trade and other receivables, restricted cash, cash equivalents and amounts due from related parties. We generally grant credit only to clients and related parties with good credit ratings and also closely monitor overdue debts. In this regard, we consider that the credit risk arising from our balances with counterparties is significantly reduced.

In order to minimize the credit risk, we have delegated a team responsible for determining credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, we review the recoverable amount of each individual debtor at the end of each reporting period to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. We will negotiate with the counterparties of the debts for settlement plans or changes in credit terms, should the need arise. In this regard, we consider that our credit risk is significantly reduced.

Seasonality

We typically experience higher sales during our third and fourth fiscal quarters as compared to our first and second fiscal quarters due to reduced purchases from our customers, who are mainly Chinese bus OEMs, during the Chinese Spring Festival holiday season in our first fiscal quarter. However, our limited operational history makes it difficult for us to judge the exact nature or extent of the seasonality of our business.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of March 31, 2022. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2022, based on one material weakness identified below. In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Based on such analysis and notwithstanding the identified material weakness, management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believe the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report fairly represent in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows at and for the periods presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Material Weakness

In the course of auditing our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 in accordance with PCAOB auditing standards, Microvast and its independent registered public accounting firm identified one material weakness. As defined in the standards established by the PCAOB, a “material weakness” is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The material weakness that has been identified relates to insufficient financial reporting and accounting personnel with appropriate U.S. GAAP knowledge and SEC reporting requirements to properly address complex U.S. GAAP technical accounting issues and to prepare and review financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with U.S. GAAP and financial reporting requirements set forth by the SEC. This material weakness, if not timely remedied, may lead to significant misstatements in our consolidated financial statements in the future. In the future, we may identify additional material weaknesses. In addition, if our independent registered public accounting firm attests to, and reports on, our management's assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls, our independent registered public accounting firm may disagree with our management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls.

Neither Microvast nor its independent registered public accounting firm undertook a comprehensive assessment of our internal control for purposes of identifying and reporting material weakness and other control deficiencies in its internal control over financial reporting. Had Microvast performed a formal assessment of its internal control over financial reporting or had its independent registered public accounting firm performed an audit of its internal control over financial reporting, additional deficiencies may have been identified.

We continue to evaluate steps to remediate the material weakness. While we have processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements, we have hired additional qualified financial and accounting personnel. We have established a comprehensive manual of accounting policies and procedures and have trained our accounting staff to follow these policies and procedures in order to allow early detection, prevention and correction of financial reporting errors. We have been establishing and providing training on U.S. GAAP for our financial and accounting staff. We plan to continue to enhance our system of evaluating and implementing the complex accounting standards that apply to our financial statements. We will continue to assess our personnel needs and will hire additional personnel as needed.

The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects. Following the identification of the material weakness, we have taken measures and plans to continue to take measures to remediate these control deficiencies. However, the implementation of these measures may not fully address the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, and we cannot conclude that they have been fully remediated. Our failure to correct the material weakness or our failure to discover and address any other deficiencies could result in inaccuracies in our financial statements and impair our ability to comply with applicable financial reporting requirements and related regulatory filings on a timely basis.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

As discussed elsewhere in this Report, we completed the Business Combination on July 23, 2021. Prior to the Business Combination, we operated as a private company with limited accounting and financial reporting personnel and other resources with which to address our internal control and procedures over financial reporting.

Table of Contents

The design and implementation of internal control over financial reporting for the post-Business Combination has required and will continue to require significant time and resources from management and other personnel. In connection with the Business Combination, we began establishing standards and procedures at the control over accounting systems and over the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP to ensure that we have in place appropriate internal control over financial reporting at the acquired subsidiaries. We are continuing to integrate the operations of each subsidiary into our overall internal control over financial reporting process.

On August 16, 2021, we filed a Form 12b-25 stating that we and our independent registered public accounting firm required additional time to complete and review our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. Further, we filed a Form 8-K on December 10, 2021 regarding non-reliance on previously issued financial statements due to our incorrect classification of shares issued in Tuscan’s initial public offering as permanent equity but not temporary equity. As the classification error related solely to Tuscan’s financial statements in periods preceding the Business Combination, we have not and do not intend to amend or restate such financial information.

We have implemented a number of measures to remediate the material weakness identified in connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 under PCAOB standards. We have hired additional qualified financial and accounting staff with experience in U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting. We have established a comprehensive manual of accounting policies and procedures and have trained our accounting staff to follow these policies and procedures in order to allow early detection, prevention and correction of financial reporting errors. We have been offering training programs of U.S. GAAP to our financial and accounting staff. We have also completed risk assessments and assessed the design of entity level controls, business process controls and IT general controls. We are in the process of documenting internal control processes and remediating gaps of design of internal controls. We will continue to assess our personnel needs and will hire additional personnel as needed. These changes to our internal control over financial reporting are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believes that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and are effective at the reasonable assurance level. However, management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time we may be involved in various legal proceedings and subject to claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although the results of litigation and claims are inherently unpredictable and uncertain, we are not currently a party to any legal proceedings the outcome of which, if determined adversely to us, are believed to, either individually or taken together, have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows or financial condition. However, the results of litigation and claims are inherently unpredictable. Regardless of the outcome, litigation has the potential to have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors. See Note 16 – Commitments and Contingencies to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which is incorporated in Item 1 by reference.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In evaluating us and our common stock, we urge you to carefully consider the risks and other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, and other reports that we have filed with the SEC, including the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-258978), filed on April 29, 2022, as subsequently amended. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. We may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

The PCAOB has been unable, and is currently unable, to inspect our independent registered public accounting firm, and, as such, you are deprived of the benefits of such inspection. In addition, various legislative and regulatory developments related to U.S.-listed PRC-based companies due to lack of PCAOB inspection, including the SEC’s recent conclusive listing of us as a “Commission-Identified Issuer,” and other developments may have a material adverse impact on our listing and trading in the U.S. and the trading prices of our common stock.

Our independent registered public accounting firm that issues the audit reports included in our annual reports filed with the SEC, as an auditor of companies that are traded publicly in the U.S. and a firm registered with the PCAOB, is required by the laws of the U.S. to undergo regular inspections by the PCAOB to assess its compliance with the laws of the U.S. and professional standards. Since our auditor is located in China, a jurisdiction where the PCAOB has been unable to conduct inspections without the approval of the Chinese authorities, the PCAOB has been, and is currently, unable to inspect our auditor. This lack of PCAOB inspections in the PRC prevents the PCAOB from regularly evaluating our independent registered public accounting firm’s audits and its quality control procedures. As a result, investors may be deprived of the benefits of PCAOB inspections.

Inspections of other firms that the PCAOB has conducted outside the PRC have identified deficiencies in those firms’ audit procedures and quality control procedures, which may be addressed as part of the inspection process to improve future audit quality. The inability of the PCAOB to conduct inspections of auditors in the PRC makes it more difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of our auditor’s audit procedures or quality control procedures as compared to auditors outside of the PRC that are subject to PCAOB inspections. Investors may lose confidence in our reported financial information and procedures and the quality of our financial statements.

On May 24, 2013, PCAOB announced that it had entered into a Memorandum of Understanding on Enforcement Cooperation with the CSRC, and the Ministry of Finance (the “MOF”), which establishes a cooperative framework between the parties for the production and exchange of audit documents relevant to investigations in the U.S. and the PRC. On inspection, it appears that the PCAOB continues to be in discussions with the PRC regulators, CSRC and the MOF to permit joint inspections in the PRC of audit firms that are registered with the PCAOB in relation to the audit of the PRC companies that trade on U.S. exchanges.

On May 20, 2020, the U.S. Senate passed S. 945, the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the “HFCAA”). The HFCAA was approved by the U.S. House of Representatives on December 2, 2020. The HFCAA was signed into law by the president of the U.S. on December 18, 2020. In essence, the HFCAA requires the SEC to prohibit companies from listing securities on U.S. securities exchanges if a company retains a foreign accounting firm that cannot be inspected by the PCAOB for three consecutive years, beginning in 2021. The trading in our common stock will be prohibited under the HFCAA if we do not change to an independent accounting firm that is not headquartered in mainland China or Hong Kong in a timely manner (currently three years, beginning in 2021).

Table of Contents

On June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable, which, if enacted, would decrease the number of non-inspection years from three years to two, thus reducing the time period before our securities will be prohibited from trading or delisted.

On December 2, 2021, the SEC issued final rules under the HFCAA, which became effective on January 10, 2022, amending the disclosure requirements in annual reports. These amendments apply to registrants that the SEC identifies as having filed an annual report containing an audit report issued by a registered public accounting firm that is located in a foreign jurisdiction that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in that jurisdiction. The amendments require the submission of documentation to the SEC establishing that such a registrant is not owned or controlled by a governmental entity in that foreign jurisdiction and also require disclosure in an issuer’s annual report regarding the audit arrangements of, and governmental influence on, such registrants. The SEC is to identify a reporting company that has retained a registered public accounting firm to issue an audit report where that registered public accounting firm has a branch or office that:

• is located in a foreign jurisdiction; and

• the PCAOB has determined that it is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in the foreign jurisdiction.

Once identified, Section 104(i)(2)(B) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires these issuers, which the SEC refers to as “Commission-Identified Issuers,” to submit in connection with their annual report documentation to the SEC establishing that they are not owned or controlled by a governmental entity in that foreign jurisdiction and to name any director who is affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party or whether the company’s articles include any charter of the Chinese Communist Party.

On December 16, 2021, the PCAOB determined that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and in Hong Kong, because of positions taken by PRC authorities in those jurisdictions, and the PCAOB included in the report of its determination a list of the accounting firms that are headquartered in mainland China or Hong Kong. This list includes our auditor, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Certified Public Accountants LLP.

The SEC now has a process in place to fulfill the statute’s requirement to identify companies that use auditors that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority of a foreign jurisdiction where the firm is located. The Staff has now started to list provisional and final determinations of identified issuers.

On April 12, 2022, the SEC provisionally listed Microvast as a “Commission-Identified Issuer” and subsequently, we were conclusively listed as a “Commission-Identified Issuer.” Under the current terms of the HFCAA, our common stock and warrants will be delisted from NASDAQ in early 2024, unless (i) the HFCAA is amended, (ii) the PCAOB is able to conduct a full inspection of our current auditor during the required timeframe or (iii) we are able to engage an independent public accounting firm that satisfies the PCAOB inspection requirements prior to filing our annual report on Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2023. Accordingly, if we do not change to an independent accounting firm that is not headquartered in mainland China or Hong Kong in a timely manner (currently three years, beginning in 2021), then you may lose all of the value of your shares of our common stock.

It is necessary for us to change our independent auditors in sufficient time that we can satisfy the SEC that our new auditors are not headquartered in mainland China or Hong Kong or subject to any new disqualifying factor that the PCAOB may have adopted. In the event the PCAOB expands the category of firms which it cannot inspect, any new firm we engage would need to be a firm which is subject to regular inspection by the PCAOB. We cannot assure you that in the future we will be able to become an issuer that is not a Commission-Identified Issuer, in which event our common stock will not be tradable in any U.S. stock exchange or market and it may be necessary for us to list on a foreign exchange in order that our common stock can be traded. It is possible that, in the event trading in our stock in the U.S. is no longer possible, you may lose the entire value of your shares of our common stock.

Our need to change auditors may have a material adverse effect upon the market for and market price of our common stock. If we fail to change auditors to meet the SEC and NASDAQ requirements, we will be delisted from the NASDAQ, and if shares of our common stock are unable to be listed on another securities exchange or traded on an over-the-counter market in the United Sates, your ability to sell or purchase will be impaired, and the risk and uncertainty associated with a potential delisting would have a negative impact on the market for and the price of our common stock.

Table of Contents

Further, new laws and regulations or changes in laws and regulations in both the U.S. and China could affect our ability to list our shares on NASDAQ or another organized U.S. market, which could materially impair the market for and market price of our common stock.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

There were no unregistered sales of our equity securities during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Item 3. Defaults upon Senior Securities

None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Not applicable.

Item 5. Other Information

None.

STOCK OPTION AWARD AGREEMENT

You have been selected to receive a grant of Nonqualified Stock Options (the “Options”) under the Microvast Holdings, Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, as in effect and as amended from time to time (the “Plan”), as stated below:

Participant Name: [●]

Grant Date: [●]

Number of Options: [●]

Exercise Price: [●]

Vesting Commencement Date: [●]

Vesting Date(s): [●]

Expiration Date: [●]

THIS STOCK OPTION AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) between Microvast Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the Participant whose name appears above, is made effective as of the Grant Date set forth above and pursuant to the Plan. Capitalized terms that are not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Plan.

1. Grant of Options. The Company hereby evidences and confirms the grant to the Participant of the number of Options set forth above. The Options are not intended to be incentive stock options under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. This Agreement is entered into pursuant to, and the terms of the Options are subject to, the terms and conditions of the Plan, which is incorporated by reference herein. If there is any inconsistency between this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern.

2. Exercise Price. The Options shall have the Exercise Price set forth above.

3. Vesting, Exercisability and Exercise.

(a) Vesting. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4, [●] of the Options shall vest and become exercisable, if at all, on each of the vesting dates set forth above (each, a “Vesting Date”), subject to the Participant’s continued employment with the Company or a Subsidiary through the applicable Vesting Date.

(b) Exercise; Condition to Exercise. Once vested and exercisable in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Options may be exercised at any time and from time to time prior to the date such Options terminate pursuant to Section 4. The Participant may exercise all or a portion of the Options by giving notice to the Company in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, which will state the Participant’s election to exercise the Options and the number of Shares for which the Participant is exercising the Options. The notice must be accompanied by payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as to all the exercised Options together with any applicable tax withholding. The Options will be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of such fully executed notice accompanied by such aggregate Option Price.

4. Termination of Options.

(a) Expiration. Unless earlier terminated in accordance with Section 4(b), the Options shall terminate on the Expiration Date set forth above, if not exercised prior to such date.

(b) Termination of Employment.

(i) Termination Generally. Upon the Participant’s Termination of Employment for any reason not set forth below, (A) all unvested Options held by the Participant shall be automatically forfeited as of the date of the Participant’s Termination of Employment and be of no further force and effect whatsoever, and neither the Company nor any Affiliate shall have any further obligations to the Participant under this Agreement with respect to the forfeited Options; and (B) all vested, exercisable and unexercised Options held by the Participant must be exercised within such period of time ending on the earlier of (x) 90 days after the date of the Participant’s Termination of Employment or (y) the Expiration Date, in accordance with the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, and if not so exercised shall expire and be of no further force or effect whatsoever.

(ii) Death or Disability. If the Participant’s employment with the Company terminates due to death or Disability prior to one or more Vesting Dates, all unvested Options shall vest pro rata as of the date of the Participant’s death or the effective date of the Participant’s Termination of Employment due to Disability, calculated by multiplying the number of then unvested Options by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months from the Vesting Commencement Date or, as applicable, the most recent Vesting Date, through the effective date of the Termination of Employment due to the Participant’s death or Disability and the denominator of which is the number of full months in the vesting period from the Vesting Commencement Date or, as applicable, the most recent Vesting Date, to the final Vesting Date. Any unvested Options that do not vest in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall immediately be forfeited and canceled effective as of the date of the Participant’s death or the effective date of the Participant’s Termination of Employment due to Disability. All vested, exercisable and unexercised Options held by the Participant must be exercised within such period of time ending on the earlier of (A) the date 12 months following the Participant’s Termination of Employment or (B) the Expiration Date, in accordance with the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, and if not so exercised shall expire and be of no further force or effect whatsoever.

(iii) Resignation or Termination for Cause. If the Participant’s employment with the Company is terminated for “Cause” (as defined in the Participant’s employment offer letter or agreement, as applicable or in the absence of such provision, as defined herein) or due to the Participant’s voluntary resignation, all Options, whether vested or unvested, or any portion thereof, shall immediately be forfeited and cease to be exercisable effective as of the effective date of the Participant’s Termination of Employment. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean the termination of the Participant’s employment because of:

(A) the Participant’s indictment for any crime, whether such crime is a felony or misdemeanor, that materially impairs the Participant’s ability to function as Participant’s job description and responsibilities with the Company require and such crime involves the purchase or sale of any security, mail or wire fraud, theft, embezzlement, moral turpitude, or Company property;

(B) the Participant’s repeated willful neglect of the Participant’s duties; or

(C) the Participant’s willful material misconduct in connection with the performance of the Participant’s duties (including a willful material breach of Company policies regarding legal compliance, ethics or workplace conduct) or other willful material breach of this Agreement; provided, however, that no act or omission on the Participant’s part shall be considered “willful” if it is done by the Participant in good faith and with a reasonable belief that Participant’s conduct was in the best interest of the Company

and provided further that no event or condition described in clause (B) or (C) shall constitute Cause unless (x) the Company gives the Participant written notice of termination of employment for Cause and the grounds for such termination within 180 days of the Company first becoming aware of the event giving rise to such Cause, and (y) such grounds for termination are not corrected by the Participant within 30 days of the Participant’s receipt of such notice.

(iv) Retirement or Termination without Cause. If the Participant’s employment with the Company terminates due to Retirement (as defined below) or is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Participant for “Good Reason” (as defined in Section 4(c) above) prior to one or more Vesting Dates, a pro rata portion of all unvested Options shall be calculated by multiplying the number of unvested Options by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months from the Vesting Commencement Date or, as applicable, the most recent Vesting Date through the effective date of the Participant’s Termination of Employment and the denominator of which is the number of full months in the vesting period from the Vesting Commencement Date or, as applicable, the most recent Vesting Date to the final Vesting Date. Any unvested Options other than the pro rata portion determined in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall immediately be forfeited and canceled effective as of the date of the Participant’s Termination of Employment. All vested, exercisable and unexercised Options held by the Participant must be exercised within such period of time ending on the earlier of (A) 90 days after the date of the Participant’s Termination of Employment or (B) the Expiration Date, in accordance with the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, and if not so exercised shall expire and be of no further force or effect whatsoever. For purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement” shall mean the Participant’s voluntary or involuntary Termination of Employment, other than by reason of death, Disability or the Participant’s termination of employment by the Company for Cause, occurring on or after the date on which the Participant reaches the age of sixty (60) and has completed fifteen (15) years of service with the Company.

(c) Change in Control. In the event the Participant’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company or a successor thereto without Cause or by the Participant for “Good Reason” (as defined in the Participant’s offer letter or employment agreement, as applicable, or in the absence thereof, as defined herein) in connection with or within 12 months following a Change in Control, 100% of the then-outstanding Options shall vest as of the date of such termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in connection with a Change in Control the then-outstanding Options will neither (x) remain outstanding following the Change in Control nor (y) be assumed or replaced by substantially equivalent and no less valuable awards, then 100% of the then-outstanding Options shall vest as of immediately prior to the

Change in Control. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean the termination of the Participant’s employment because of the occurrence of any of the following events: (A) a failure by the Company to pay compensation or benefits due and payable to the Participant in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; (B) a material change in the duties or responsibilities performed by the Participant; (C) a material change to the location(s) of the Participant’s principal places of employment by more than 30 miles, without the Participant’s consent; (D) the Company’s material breach of this Agreement; provided, however, that no event or condition shall constitute Good Reason unless (w) the Participant gives the Company written notice of the Participant’s intention to terminate the Participant’s employment for Good Reason and the grounds for such termination within 180 days of the Participant first becoming aware of the event giving rise to such Good Reason and (z) such grounds for termination are not corrected by the Company within 30 days of its receipt of such notice.

(d) Committee Discretion. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, subject to Article 3 of the Plan, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the vesting with respect to any Options under this Agreement, at such times and upon such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine.

5. Securities Law Compliance. The exercise of the Options and issuance and transfer of Shares shall comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws. No Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of an Option unless and until any and all applicable requirements of state or federal laws have been fully complied with to the satisfaction of the Company and its counsel. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Participant may not sell the Shares acquired upon vesting of the Options unless such Shares are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or, if such Shares are not then so registered, such sale would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The sale of such Shares must also comply with other applicable laws and regulations governing the Shares and Participant may not sell the Shares if the Company determines that such sale would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations.

6. Participant’s Rights with Respect to the Options.

(a) Restrictions on Transferability. The Options granted hereby are not assignable or transferable, in whole or in part, and may not, directly or indirectly, be offered, transferred, sold, pledged, assigned, alienated, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of or encumbered (including without limitation by gift, operation of law or otherwise) other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution to the estate of the Participant upon the Participant’s death; provided that the deceased Participant’s beneficiary or representative of the Participant’s estate shall acknowledge and agree in writing, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan as if such beneficiary or the estate were the Participant.

(b) No Rights as Stockholder. The Participant shall not have any rights as a stockholder including any voting, dividend or other rights or privileges as a stockholder of the Company with respect to any Shares corresponding to the Options granted hereby unless and until Shares are issued to the Participant in respect thereof.

7. Adjustments. The number, class or other terms of any outstanding Options may be adjusted by the Committee to reflect any extraordinary dividend, stock dividend, stock split or share combination or any recapitalization, business combination, merger, consolidation, spin-off, exchange of shares, liquidation or dissolution of the Company or other similar transaction affecting the Shares in such manner as the Committee determines in its sole discretion.

8. Tax Withholding. The Participant must satisfy any federal, state, local or foreign tax withholding requirements applicable with respect to the exercise of the Options subject to this Agreement. The Company may require or permit the Participant to satisfy such tax withholding obligations through the Company withholding of Shares (up to the maximum statutory tax rate in the relevant jurisdiction) that would otherwise be received by such individual upon the exercise of the Options subject to this Agreement. The obligations of the Company to deliver the Shares under this Agreement shall be conditioned upon the Participant’s payment of all applicable taxes and the Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant. Notwithstanding any action by the Company with respect to any or all tax withholdings, the Participant shall have the sole and ultimate responsibility with respect to such tax obligations. Nothing in this Agreement or any other document with respect to the Options shall be construed as the Company’s representation or undertaking regarding any tax obligations in connection with the grant, vesting, or exercise of the Option or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired on exercise, and the Company shall have no obligation to structure the Option to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for any tax obligations.

8. Miscellaneous.

(a) Binding Effect; Benefits. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended or shall be construed to give any Person other than the parties to this Agreement or their respective successors or assigns any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of any agreement or any provision contained herein.

(b) No Right to Continued Employment. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way any right to terminate the Participant’s employment with the Company.

(c) Interpretation. The Committee shall have full power and discretion to construe and interpret the Plan (and any rules and regulations issued thereunder) and this Award. Any determination or interpretation by the Committee under or pursuant to the Plan or this Award shall be final and binding and conclusive on all Persons affected hereby.

(e) Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of Delaware regardless of the application of rules of conflict of law that would apply the laws of any other jurisdiction.

By entering into this Agreement and accepting the Options evidenced hereby, the Participant acknowledges: (i) that the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be suspended or terminated by the Board at any time; (ii) that the Award does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Awards; (iii) that participation in the Plan is voluntary; and (iv) that the future value of the Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty.
