Senmiao Technology Announces New Cooperation Agreement with Leading E-commerce Platform for Servicing Major Cities of Chengdu and Guangzhou

CHENGDU, China, Sept. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Senmiao Technology Limited ("Senmiao" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: AIHS), a financing and servicing company focused on the online ride-hailing industry in China as well as an operator of its own online ride-hailing platform, today announced the signing of a new contract with Shanghai Lutuan Technology, an affiliate of Meituan (HK: 3690), China's leading e-commerce platform for services focused on its "Food + Platform" strategy.

According to this new cooperation agreement, online ride-hailing requests and orders will be completed on Meituan's platform ("the major platform") utilizing Senmiao's network of cars and drivers for a set monthly fee. This new agreement will have no impact on drivers' incomes, and drivers' incentives will be paid by the major platform going forward.

In August 2021, Senmiao leased cars and provided related services to approximately 1,200 drivers in Chengdu who operated their online ride-hailing businesses through the major platform under the new partnership model.

Xi Wen, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Senmiao, stated, "We are pleased to continue our partnership with Meituan under this new model, whereby we provide Meituan with access to our network of cars and drivers in Chengdu and Guangzhou. In turn, our drivers benefit from increased access to potential riders utilizing the major platform for various services. We believe this arrangement will become even more favorable to Senmiao's operations over the long term, and we look forward to the potential opportunity to expand this relationship to other cities."
