(Nasdaq: AZI) (the “Company” or “Autozi”), a technology-driven provider of lifecycle automotive services, today announced that, following its receipt of an aggregate US$30 million investment from multiple investors, the Company is continuing active discussions with multiple prospective investors regarding additional capital support and intends to further expand the scale and diversity of its financing program. Building on the US$30 million investment, Autozi intends to continue evaluating additional financing opportunities that may broaden its capital resources and provide greater flexibility to execute multiple growth initiatives in parallel. The Company expects to consider institutional capital, strategic investment and other financing structures that are aligned with its long-term development strategy and the interests of its shareholders. Any additional financing, if completed, is expected to complement the recently received investment and support the Company’s current preparations to expand automotive supply-chain integration, accelerate construction of its cross-border automotive supply-chain platform, increase investment in digital and intelligent technologies, broaden lifecycle automotive services, and strengthen working capital and operating capacity. Autozi believes that combining a stronger capital base with clearly defined business priorities can improve execution and create a more durable foundation for scalable and sustainable growth. Building on the US$30 Million Investment Autozi views the US$30 million investment as an important foundation for a broader capital strategy. Following receipt of that investment, the Company has continued engaging with institutional investors, strategic investors and other qualified capital providers that may contribute additional financial resources, industry expertise, commercial networks or other strategic value. In evaluating potential follow-on financing opportunities, Autozi intends to focus on structures and terms that are consistent with its long-term development strategy. The Company expects to consider financing scale, cost of capital, execution certainty, strategic alignment, financial flexibility and long-term shareholder value. Autozi’s objective is not only to increase available capital, but also to establish a diversified financing framework that can support sustained business expansion and enable the Company to respond more effectively to future market opportunities. The Company believes that the combination of the recently received US$30 million investment and potential additional financing may allow it to accelerate selected projects, pursue strategic opportunities with greater flexibility, and strengthen the operating systems required to serve a broader customer base and execute more complex domestic and cross-border transactions. Business Expansion Priorities Autozi is preparing to advance a multi-pillar business expansion plan rather than relying on a single growth driver. The Company’s principal areas of focus include automotive and auto-parts supply-chain integration, targeted strategic transactions and partnerships, cross-border platform development, digital and intelligent technology enhancement, and expansion of lifecycle automotive services. Supply-Chain Integration and Targeted Strategic Opportunities Autozi plans to further strengthen its position across the automotive and auto-parts supply chain by integrating high-quality suppliers, product resources, distribution capabilities and service networks. The Company intends to evaluate targeted mergers and acquisitions, strategic investments and commercial partnerships that may improve procurement capabilities, product availability, regional coverage, fulfillment efficiency and customer service. The Company plans to prioritize opportunities that complement its existing business and help connect manufacturers, distributors, service providers and end customers through a more coordinated operating network. By reducing fragmentation and improving cooperation among industry participants, Autozi aims to lower transaction friction, improve delivery reliability and support larger and more diversified customer requirements. Cross-Border Automotive Supply-Chain Platform Autozi is preparing to accelerate development of its cross-border automotive supply-chain platform. The platform is intended to support international procurement, supplier onboarding and verification, product and order management, logistics coordination, settlement support, after-sales services and other functions required for reliable cross-border transactions involving vehicles, auto parts and related products. The Company intends to expand relationships with overseas customers, suppliers, logistics providers and other commercial partners. Autozi believes that a stronger cross-border operating platform can improve its ability to connect Chinese automotive supply resources with international demand, while supporting the Company’s longer-term global expansion strategy. Digital and Intelligent Platform Development Autozi plans to continue upgrading its online supply-chain cloud platform, SaaS capabilities, data analytics tools and intelligent operational systems. The Company is preparing to increase investment in technology that can improve demand analysis, supplier and product matching, inventory visibility, transaction management, pricing support, customer service and operational decision-making. Autozi also intends to explore practical applications of artificial intelligence and automation across appropriate business processes. Potential applications include automated information processing, intelligent matching, operational monitoring, customer-response support and data-assisted decision-making. The Company’s objective is to use technology to reduce repetitive manual work, improve responsiveness and create a more efficient service experience for customers and business partners. Expansion of Lifecycle Automotive Services Autozi is also preparing to broaden its lifecycle automotive service capabilities through online and offline channels. The Company’s existing service scope includes vehicle-related services, auto parts and accessories, automotive insurance-related services, maintenance support and other value-added solutions. The Company plans to strengthen product sourcing, service delivery, merchant and customer coverage, operational support and market development. By integrating these capabilities with its digital platform and supply-chain network, Autozi aims to offer customers a more comprehensive, efficient and consistent service experience throughout the vehicle lifecycle.
