Senmiao Technology Achieves Initial Success in Its New Business Initiative Targeting Didi's Ride-Hailing Drivers

CHENGDU,China,April 8,2019 -- Senmiao Technology Limited (Senmiao) (NASDAQ: AIHS),an operator of an online lending marketplace connecting Chinese investors with individual and small-to-medium-sized enterprise borrowers,and a provider of automobile transaction and financing services in China,announced today that Senmiao's majority owned subsidiary,Hunan Ruixi Financial Leasing Co.,Ltd. (Ruixi),has completed 193 vehicles sales transactions worth approximately RMB12.7 million (US$1.9 million) to ride-hailing drivers of Didi Chuxing Technology Co.,Ltd. (Didi),a leading ride-hailing and ride-sharing platform in China. These vehicle sales occurred in the Chengdu,China market and represent the initial results of this corporate effort since the official launch of Ruixi's automobile sales business in Chengdu in late January 2019. As the fleet of Didi drivers in the Chengdu region is expanding,Senmiao believes Ruixi is well positioned to continue to place purchase orders on vehicles catering to Didi drivers.

To meet demand,Ruixi plans to draw on a credit facility of RMB400 million (US$59.7 million) granted by Bank of Changsha to fund vehicle purchases. For 2019,Ruixi plans to sell up to 2,000 vehicles in the Chengdu market,including up to 500 electronic vehicles.

"The ride-hailing market is growing significantly in cities like Chengdu with Didi leading the way. Thanks to the credit facility by Bank of Changsha and the cooperation with Didi,our automobile transaction and financing services business is starting off on the right foot in the Chengdu markets," commented Xi Wen,Chairman,Chief Executive Officer and President of Senmiao.
