Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1. BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Microvast, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Texas in the United States of America on October 12, 2006 and re-domiciled to the State of Delaware on December 31, 2015. On July 23, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), Microvast, Inc. and Tuscan Holdings Corp. (“Tuscan”) consummated the previously announced merger (the “Merger” or the "Business Combination"), 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 the Merger Agreement, the Merger Sub merged with and into Microvast, Inc., with Microvast, Inc. surviving the Merger. As a result of the Merger, Tuscan was renamed “Microvast Holdings, Inc.” (the “Company”). The Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization as Microvast, Inc. was determined to be the accounting acquirer under Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”).
As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s major subsidiaries are as follows:
| Subsidiaries | Place of incorporation | Date of incorporation | Percentage of ownership |
|---|---|---|---|
| Microvast, Inc. (“Microvast”) | Delaware, USA | October 2006 | 100% |
| Microvast Power Solutions, Inc (“MP Solutions”) | Texas, USA | July 2013 | 100% |
| Microvast Power Systems Co., Ltd. (“MPS”) | Huzhou, PRC | December 2006 | 100% |
| Microvast GmbH (“MV GmbH”) | Germany | May 2016 | 100% |
| Huzhou Hongwei New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd. (“Hongwei”) | Huzhou, PRC | December 2016 | 100% |
| Microvast Energy, Inc. (“MV Energy”) | Colorado, USA | July 2022 | 100% |
The Company is primarily engaged in developing, manufacturing, and selling lithium-ion battery technologies for use in commercial electric vehicles and battery energy storage systems across the globe.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue to realize its assets and settle its liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company incurred net losses of $29,218, $195,457, and $106,412, and generated cash flows from operating activities of $75,908, $2,814, and used cash flow in operating activities of $75,303, respectively.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had stockholders’ equity of $410,513, including an accumulated deficit of $1,122,176, cash and cash equivalents of $104,963, restricted cash of $64,275 and other current assets of $279,485. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had outstanding bank borrowings of $106,279, with $93,052 due within the next 12 months, a bond payable of $41,693 that matures in January 2027, a convertible loan with repayment amount of $26,454 that matures in May 2026, and other current liabilities of $254,360. Additionally, as of December 31, 2025, the Company had $37,167 in purchase commitments primarily related to inventory, and $16,435 in capital commitments with $14,153 due within the next 12 months.
Based on the Company's current business plan, the existing cash and assets held for sale may not be sufficient to fund operations through the next twelve months. These conditions and events raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company's primary plans to alleviate the substantial doubt include 1) obtaining sufficient funding through operations; it is anticipated that the Company will continue to generate cash through operations in the forecasted period in consideration of the existing contract backlog and anticipated market conditions; and 2) refinancing short-term borrowings; historically, the Company, on an as needed basis, has rolled over or obtained replacement borrowings from existing creditors for its short-term bank loans upon the maturity date of the loans. Subsequent to December 31, 2025, the Company has successfully refinanced loans of $7,722 that matured and anticipates that it will continue to be able to do so for the next twelve months. The Company has concluded it is probable that the execution of these plans will alleviate the substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary in the event the Company can no longer continue as a going concern.
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s financial statements include allowance for credit losses, write-down of obsolete inventories, impairment of long-lived assets, recoverability of deferred tax assets, product warranties, fair value measurement of convertible loan and share based compensation.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and highly liquid investments, which are unrestricted from withdrawal or use, or which have maturities of three months or less.
Restricted cash
Restricted cash represents deposits made to banks to secure bank acceptance notes (or Notes Payable), letters of credit issued by the Company, and restricted use bank borrowings (see Note 12). It is common in the PRC that the banks require the Company to pledge notes receivable or make a deposit as collateral. The deposits and the matured bank acceptance notes from its customers are recorded as restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheets.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable represents those receivables derived in the ordinary course of business, net of allowance for credit losses. Beginning on January 1, 2022, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable for expected credit losses on a regular basis. The Company maintains an estimated allowance for credit losses to reduce its accounts receivable to the amount that it believes will be collected. The Company uses the creditworthiness of customers, aging of the receivables, past transaction history with customers and their current condition, changes in customer payment terms, specific facts and circumstances, and the overall economic climate in the industries the Company serves to monitor the Company's receivables within the scope of expected credit losses model and use these as a basis to develop the Company's expected loss estimates. The Company writes-off accounts receivable against the allowance when they are deemed uncollectible.
Notes receivable and payable
The Company accepts bank acceptance notes (“notes”) from customers in the PRC in the normal course of business. These notes may be presented to banks in the PRC for cash settlement or endorsed to suppliers to settle accounts payable. The Company derecognizes the notes upon endorsement to suppliers, as it no longer retains control over instruments. Notes receivable and notes payable are typically non-interest bearing and have maturities of one year or less.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the balance of notes receivable were $5,590 and $7,579, respectively while certain notes receivable have been pledged to banks to secure their issuance of bank acceptance notes for the Company.
Inventories, net
Inventories consist of raw materials, work in process and finished goods. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory costs include expenses that are directly or indirectly incurred in the acquisition and production process, including shipping and handling costs charged by suppliers. The cost of materials and supplies used in production, direct labor costs and allocated overhead costs are all included in the inventory costs. The allocated overhead cost includes depreciation, insurance, employee benefits, and indirect labor. Cost is determined using the weighted average method. Inventories are written down to net realizable value taking into consideration estimates of future demand, technology developments, market conditions and reasonably predicative costs of completion or disposal.
Prepaid expenses and other current assets
Prepaid expenses and other current assets primarily consist of advances to suppliers, prepaid expenses, deposits and value-added tax receivables.
Property, plant and equipment, net
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:
| Buildings | 20 years |
|---|---|
| Machineries and equipment | 10 years |
| Fixtures and electronic equipment | 4 - 5 years |
| Motor vehicles | 5 years |
| Leasehold improvements | Shorter of the lease term or estimated useful lives |
Construction in progress represents manufacturing facilities and equipment under construction, and is stated at cost. The capitalization of these costs ceases when construction in progress is transferred to property, plant and equipment and substantially ready for its intended use. No depreciation is recorded for construction in progress. Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expenses as incurred.
Land use rights, net
Land use rights are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives, which are generally 50 years and represent the shorter of the estimated usage periods or the terms of the land use rights agreements.
Acquired intangible assets, net
Acquired intangible assets with definite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their expected useful economic lives.
Impairment of long-lived assets
In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360”), the Company reviews long-lived assets such as property, plant and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets, and an impairment loss is recorded as a component of operating expenses. Fair value is estimated based on various valuation techniques. For assets held for sales, the amount of potential impairment may be based upon appraisal of the asset, estimated market value of similar assets or estimated cash flow from the disposition of the asset. The evaluation of asset impairment requires the Company to make assumptions about future cash flows over the life of the asset being evaluated. These assumptions require significant judgment and actual results may differ from assumed and estimated amounts. Refer to Note 6 for details.
Assets held for sale
Assets to be disposed of by sale are reported at the lower of the carrying value or fair value less cost to sell when the Company has committed to a sale agreement and would be reported separately as assets held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets.
In February 2026, the Company has been exploring a potential sale of its Lake Mary, Florida facility with a prospective buyer for a gross price of $11,500. As of December 31, 2025, the asset is recorded at its fair value less costs to sell, resulting in an impairment charge of $2,353, which is included in the total impairment loss for the year. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and a due diligence period for the buyer. The Company currently anticipates that, if completed, the transaction would close during the second quarter of 2026.
Debt Restructuring
A debt restructuring is the modification of debt in which a creditor grants a concession it would not otherwise consider to a debtor that is experiencing financial difficulties. These modifications may include an extension of the maturity date, a reduction of the face amount or maturity amount of the debt, or a reduction of accrued interest. During the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company entered into several settlement agreements with certain suppliers with payables, under which the Company received concessions that forgive certain contractually owed amounts and allow for deferred payment schedules. The Company recorded a restructuring gain of $1,297 and $9,406 on the payable concession for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Fair value of financial instruments
Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, accounts receivable, notes receivable, other receivable, amounts due from/to related parties, accounts payable, short-term bank borrowings, notes payable, long-term bank borrowing, bonds payable, warrant liability and convertible loan with shareholder. The Company carries its cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, warrant liability and convertible loan with shareholder at fair value. The carrying values of other financial instruments approximate their fair values reported in the consolidated balance sheets.
Fair value
Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.
Authoritative literature provides a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. An asset or liability categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement as follows:
Level 1
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Convertible loan measured at fair value
The Company has elected the fair value option to account for the convertible loan described in Note 25 – Convertible loan measured at fair value herein, and records changes in fair value in the consolidated statements of operations, with the exception of changes in fair value due to instrument-specific credit risk which, if present, will be recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. Interest expense related to the convertible loan is included in the changes in fair value. As a result of applying the fair value option, direct costs and fees related to the convertible loan were expensed as incurred. Loss of $39,396 was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2025. The fair value of the convertible loan with shareholder was determined by using a discounted cash flow model for the bond component and a Black-Scholes-Merton model for the conversion option, which is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement.
Revenue recognition
Nature of Goods and Services
The Company’s revenue consists primarily of sales of lithium-ion batteries. The obligation of the Company is providing the battery 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 Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the goods or services.
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 sheet, represent payment received in advance. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $5,568, $4,348 and $2,492 of revenue previously included in advance from customers as of January 1, 2025, January 1, 2024 and January 1, 2023, respectively, which consist of payments received in advance related to its sales of lithium-ion batteries.
Value added taxes
The Company reports revenue net of VAT. Entities in PRC that are VAT general tax payers are allowed to offset qualified VAT paid against their output VAT liabilities.
Cost of revenues
Cost of revenues primarily consists of the cost of the products ultimately sold to customers, product warranty expense, provision for obsolete inventories and other related cost that are directly attributable to the production of products.
Product Warranty
The Company provides product warranty, which entails repair or replacement of non-conforming items, in conjunction with the sales of products. The warranty liability recorded at each balance sheet date reflects management’s best estimates of its product warranty based on historical information and other currently available evidence.
The Company’s product warranty generally ranges fromone toeight years. The Company establishes a reserve for the estimated cost of the product warranty at the time revenue is recognized. The portion of the warranty that is expected to incur within the next 12 months is recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, while the remaining balance is recorded in other non-current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Product warranty is recorded as a cost of revenues.
Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses primarily consist of salaries and benefits for research and development personnel, raw materials, office rental expense, general expenses and depreciation expenses associated with research and development activities.
Subsidy income
Government subsidies represent government grants received from local government authorities. Government subsidies related to the investment in production facilities is initially recorded as other current or other non-current liabilities and is amortized on a straight-line basis to offset the cost of revenues over the life of the relevant production assets or amortized on an effective interest method over the term of the loan.
The Company amortized the deferred subsidy at $785, $620 and $390 during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the carrying amount of the current portion of the deferred subsidy income was $911 and $1,026, and the non-current portion was $6,190 and $5,610, respectively.
Income taxes
Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant tax authorities. Deferred income taxes are recognized when temporary differences exist between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Net operating loss carry forwards and credits are applied using enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more-likely-than-not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions by reporting a liability for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Tax benefits are recognized from uncertain tax positions when the Company believes that it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.
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 a 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 performance-based awards with a market condition, such as awards based on total stockholder return (“TSR”), 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.
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at lease inception. Operating leases are required 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. 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 machines 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.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company recorded operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets of $17,336 and operating lease liabilities of $17,264, including current portion in the amount of $2,788, which was recorded under accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the balance sheet.
As for lessor accounting, the Company provides leasing arrangement to its customers primarily for the sale of vehicles. Revenue from the sale of these products under sales-type leases is recognized at the inception of the lease. Interest income on sales-type leases is recognized over the life of each respective lease using the interest method. As of December 31, 2025, the Company recorded net investment in sales-type leases of $5,824 including current portion in the amount of $3,240, which was recorded under accounts receivables on the balance sheet.
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 below in Note 15) 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 statements of operations. The Private Warrants are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model on the basis of the quoted market price of the Company’s publicly-traded warrants.
Comprehensive loss
Comprehensive loss includes net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments. Comprehensive loss is reported in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.
Net loss per share
Basic net income or loss per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income or loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the year using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, any net income or loss is allocated between common stock and other participating securities based on their participating rights. Net income or loss is not allocated to participating securities when the participating securities do not have a contractual obligation to share losses.
Diluted net income or loss per share is computed by dividing net income or loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding and the potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities consist of common stock issuable upon the conversion of convertible bonds using the if-converted method and common stock issuable upon the vesting of non-vested shares or exercise of stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method. The number of potentially dilutive securities are calculated based on the most advantageous conversion rate or exercise price from the standpoint of the security holder. Potentially dilutive securities are not included in the denominator of the diluted earnings per share calculation when inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive.
Foreign currencies
The functional currency of the Company and all subsidiaries located in the U.S. is the United States dollar (“U.S. dollar”). For the Company’s subsidiaries located in the PRC, the functional currency is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”); the Company’s UK subsidiary, MP UK, the functional currency is the Great British Pound (“GBP”); and the Company’s Germany subsidiary, MV GmbH, the functional currency is the Euro.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements of each individual subsidiary, transactions in currencies other than the subsidiary’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are converted into the functional currency at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
Exchange differences on the monetary items are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the period in which they arise. For the year ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded exchange gain (loss) of $6,957, $(1,618), and $430 in general and administrative expenses, respectively.
For the purposes of presenting the consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations are translated into the reporting currency of the Company at the prevailing exchange rate at the end of the reporting period, and their income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates for the year. Translation adjustments are reported as cumulative translation adjustments and are shown as a component of other comprehensive loss.
RMB is not a freely convertible currency. The State Administration for Foreign Exchange, under the authority of the People’s Bank of China, controls the conversion of RMB into other currencies. The value of the RMB is subject to changes in central government policies and to international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the China Foreign Exchange Trading System market. Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of the
Company included aggregate amounts of $91,569 and $87,802 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which were denominated in RMB.
Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and notes receivable. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions with high credit ratings and quality. The Company conducts credit evaluations of customers and generally does not require collateral or other security from its customers.
The following table summarizes net revenues from customers that accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s net revenues for 2025, 2024, and 2023:
| Year Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|

| Percentage of accounts receivable from Customer D | 12% | *% |
*Accounts receivable from such customers represented less than 10% of the Company's accounts receivable during the respective years.
Supplier Concentration
The Company relies on third parties for the supply of raw materials. In instances where these parties fail to perform their obligations, the Company may find alternative suppliers in the open market. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023,18%,19%, and 15% of our raw materials were purchased through company E, respectively, although numerous alternate sources of supply are readily available on comparable terms for the raw materials supplied by company E.
Noncontrolling interests
For the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries, noncontrolling interests are recognized to reflect the portion of their equity that is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company as the controlling shareholder. Noncontrolling interests are classified as a separate line item in the equity section of the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and have been separately disclosed in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss to distinguish the interests from that of the Company.
Recent accounting pronouncements newly adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 "Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-09"). ASU 2023-09 intends to improve the transparency of income tax disclosures.

Huzhou Saiyuan Loan
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 (RMB 600 million). The Company pledged its 12.39% equity holding over MPS to Huzhou Saiyuan to facilitate the issuance of the convertible bonds.
If the subscribed bonds are not repaid by the maturity date of January 31, 2027, 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 bonds into equity interests of MPS within 60 days after the maturity date. If Huzhou Saiyuan decides to convert the bonds into equity interests of MPS, the equity interests pledged would be released and the convertible bonds would be converted into equity interest of MPS based on an entity value of MPS of $950,000.
In September 2020 and 2022, MPS entered intotwo supplement agreements with Huzhou Saiyuan, respectively, to change the repayment schedule as follows: (i) $14,629 (RMB 100 million) was repaid, together with interest accrued, on or before November 10, 2022, (ii) $14,630 (RMB 100 million) was repaid, together with interest accrued, on or before December 31, 2022, and (iii) the remaining $43,888 (RMB 300 million) will be repaid, together with interest accrued, on or before January 31, 2027. The applicable interest rate will be increased to 12% if the Company is in default on the repayment of the bonds at the due date. The remaining terms and conditions of the convertible bonds were unchanged. The Company has fully complied with the amended repayment schedule. With $692 (equivalent to RMB 5 million) repaid in 2023 and $1,375 (equivalent to RMB 10 million) repaid in 2025, the outstanding balance of the convertible bonds was $41,693 (RMB 285 million) as of December 31, 2025.
NOTE 15. WARRANTS
Upon the Merger, the Company assumed 27,600,000 publicly-traded warrants (“Public Warrants”) which were issued in connection with Tuscan’s initial public offering. The Company also assumed 837,000 private placement warrants issued to Tuscan Holdings Acquisition LLC ("Sponsor") and EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. (“EarlyBirdCapital”) (“Private Warrants” and together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”) upon the Merger, 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 Merger). The Warrants entitle the holder to purchaseone share of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. During the year ended December 31, 2025, none of the Public Warrants or the Private Warrants have been exercised.
The Public Warrants became exercisable 30 days after the completion of the Merger. No Warrants were exercisable for cash until the Company registered Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants with the SEC. Since the registration of Common Stock was not completed within 90 days following the Merger, warrant holders were able to exercise the Warrants on a net-share settlement basis until the registration statement became effective on June 8, 2022. The Public Warrants will expire on July 23, 2026, 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 Public Warrant was determined to be equity classified in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging.
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 on July 23, 2026.
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 measured at fair value, resulting in gain/ (loss) of $275, $(223) and $59 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively and is classified within changes in fair value of warrant liability in the consolidated statements of operations.
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:
| December 31,2025 | |
|---|---|
| Market price of public stock | $2.80 |
| Exercise price | $11.50 |
| Expected term (years) | 0.57 |
| Volatility | 84.99% |
| Risk-free interest rate | 3.51% |
| 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, the average volatility of peer companies and the Company's historical volatility. 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.
On May 28, 2024, the Company also issued a warrant exercisable for 5,500,000 shares of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $2.00 per share. The Warrant expires on May 28, 2029. See further discussion in Note 25 – Convertible loan measured at fair value.
NOTE 16. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
Measured or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis
The Company measured its financial assets and liabilities, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, warrant liability, and convertible loan at fair value on a recurring basis. 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 and convertible loan are 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 Model that assumes optimal exercise of the Company’s redemption option at the earliest possible date. Refer to Note 25 for disclosure of valuation model utilized in measuring the fair value of convertible loan.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, information about inputs for the fair value measurements of the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in periods subsequent to their initial recognition is as follow:

| Balance at end of the period | $140,929 | $104,613 |
Measured or disclosed at fair value on a nonrecurring basis
The Company’s assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include long-lived assets. The Company reviews the carrying amounts of such assets when events indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Any resulting asset impairment would require that the asset be recorded at its fair value. The fair value of the asset or asset group is determined using cost approach, sales comparison approach and income capitalization approach with unobservable inputs (Level 3), depending on the underlying nature of the asset or the asset group.

| Year Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | |

| Balance at end of the year | $117,832 | $106,651 | $76,223 |
The Company evaluates the realizability of deferred tax assets on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis and considers available positive and negative evidence in estimating whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to utilize existing deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance is primarily related to entities with net operating loss carry-forwards for which the Company does not believe realization is more likely than not.
NOL and tax credit carry-forwards
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $320,438 operating loss carried forward. The operating loss carried forward for the Company’s PRC subsidiaries amounted to $193,775, which will expire on various dates from 2026 to 2035. The Company also had U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards of $38,745, which may be carried forward indefinitely. In addition, the Company had U.S. state net operating loss carryforwards of $55,755, of which $20,440 may be carried forward indefinitely. The remaining state net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2026, with the majority expiring between 2033 and 2044, if not utilized. The Company also had German net operating loss carryforwards of $30,681 and U.K. net operating loss carryforwards of $1,482, each of which may be carried forward indefinitely under applicable tax law.
Tax Law Changes
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") was signed into law. The OBBBA reinstates immediate expensing of domestic research and experimental expenditures, modifies the calculation of the limitation on business interest expense under Section 163(j) and permanently restores 100% bonus depreciation for qualified property.
The Company evaluated the impact of the Act on its consolidated financial statements. Due to the existence of a full valuation allowance against its U.S. deferred tax assets, the enactment of the OBBBA did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated balance sheets or income tax expense. However, the OBBBA reduced the Company's current federal income tax payable for the year by accelerating certain deductions. The Company will continue to monitor additional guidance related to the Act.
The following is a supplemental schedule of cash paid for income taxes, net of refunds, for the year ended December 31, 2025:
| Year Ended December 31, | |
|---|---|
| 2025 | |
| U.S federal | $1,817 |
| Total income taxes paid (net of refunds) | $1,817 |
NOTE 19. NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS
On December 19, 2022, Microvast Inc. and a third party formed Microvast Precision Works Co., Ltd ("MPW"). At formation, the Company held a 70% interest in MPW and consolidated MPW. During 2023, the third party withdrew from MPW. As a result, Microvast Inc. became MPW's sole owner as of December 31, 2023. The amount of net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests wasnil, nil and $76 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
NOTE 20. 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 options, 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 restricted stock units with modified vesting schedules, using the ratio of 160.3. The 2021 Plan reserved 5% of the fully-diluted shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately following the Closing Date plus the shares underlying awards rolled over from the 2012 Plan for issuance in accordance with the 2021 Plan’s terms. As of December 31, 2025,20,064,793 shares of Common Stock was available for grant under the 2021 Plan.
Stock options
On April 10, 2024, a termination and transition advisory services agreement was entered between a former employee and the Company. According to this agreement, all unvested restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units and stock options held by the employee as of April 10, 2024 vest in full on April 10, 2025. The Company accounted for the modification as a Type III (improbable-to-probable) modification, which represents the modification of the award that was not expected to vest under the original vesting conditions at the date of the modification. The Company recognized compensation cost equal to the modified award’s fair value at the date of the modification over the period in which the former employee served as consultant to the Company.
The grant and modification date fair value of the stock options was determined using the Black Scholes model with the following assumptions:
| Year Ended December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Exercise price | $3.57 | $1.29-$5.69 |
| Expected terms (years) | 5.94 | 1.25-7.26 |
| Volatility | 109.06% | 85.66%-103.11% |
| Risk-free interest rate | 4.04% | 4.05%-5.00% |
| Expected dividend yields | 0.00% | 0.00% |
| Weighted average fair value of options granted | $2.99 | $0.0035-$0.89 |
The exercise prices for each award were extracted from the option agreements. The expected terms for each award were derived using the simplified method, and is estimated to occur at the midpoint of the vesting date and the expiration date. The volatility of the underlying common stock during the lives of the options was a blend of implied volatility from the average volatility of peer companies, implied volatility and the Company's historical volatility. Risk-free interest rate was estimated based on the market yield of U.S. Government Bonds with maturity close to the expected term of the options. The dividend yield was estimated by the Company based on its expected dividend policy over the expected term of the options.
Stock options activity for the year ended December 31, 2025 was as follows:
| Share options life | Number of Shares | Weighted Average Exercise Price (US$) | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value (US$) | Weighted Average Remaining Contractual |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Outstanding as of December 31, 2024 | 32,701,399 | 5.80 | 4.58 | 4.5 |
| Granted | 300,000 | 3.57 | 2.99 | |
| Exercised | (33,334) | 2.08 | 1.48 | |
| Forfeited | (6,514,093) | 6.02 | 4.52 | |
| Outstanding as of December 31, 2025 | 26,453,972 | 5.72 | 4.58 | 4.0 |
| Expected to vest and exercisable as of December 31, 2025 | 26,453,972 | 5.72 | 4.58 | 4.0 |
| Exercisable as of December 31, 2025 | 24,987,305 | 5.98 | 4.80 | 3.9 |
During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded share-based compensation expense of $463, $25,175 and $51,289 related to the option awards.
The total unrecognized equity-based compensation costs as of December 31, 2025 related to the stock options was $1,222, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years. The aggregate intrinsic value of the share options as of December 31, 2025 was $3,386.
Restricted Stock Units
Following the Merger, the Company granted 6,456,145 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and 3,330,953 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. For RSU awards with performance conditions, stock-based compensation expense is only recognized if the performance conditions become probable to be satisfied.
The fair value of RSUs is determined by the price of Common Stock at the grant date and is amortized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. The fair value of PSU awards that include vesting based on market conditions are estimated using the Monte Carlo valuation method. Compensation cost for PSU awards is recognized based on the grant date fair value which is recognized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. Accordingly, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $2,345, $1,850 and $1,992 related to these RSU awards and $290, $1,044 and $2,386 related to these PSU awards during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.
The following assumptions were used for the respective periods below to calculate the fair value of common shares to be issued under TSR awards on the date of grant using the Monte Carlo pricing model:
| Year Ended December 31,2023 | |
|---|---|
| Expected term (years) | 2.92 |
| Volatility | 61.89% |
| Risk-free interest rate | 3.83% |
| Expected dividend yields | 0.00% |
Expected term was derived based on the remaining time from the grant date through the end of the performance period. The volatility of the underlying common stock during the term of the awards was estimated based on the historical stock price volatility of comparable listed companies over a period comparable to the expected term of the awards. Risk-free interest rate was estimated based on the market yield of US Government Bond with maturity close to the expected term of the awards. The dividend yield was estimated by the Company based on its expected dividend policy over the expected term of the awards.
The restricted stock units activity for the year ended December 31, 2025 was as follows:
| Number of Non-Vested Shares | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share (US$) | |
|---|---|---|
| Outstanding as of December 31, 2024 | 3,423,305 | 1.63 |
| Grant | 1,948,275 | 3.03 |
| Vested | (1,452,169) | 1.83 |
| Forfeited | (190,696) | 2.54 |
| Outstanding as of December 31, 2025 | 3,728,715 | 2.24 |
The total unrecognized equity-based compensation costs as of December 31, 2025 related to the non-vested restricted stock units was $3,543.
The following summarizes the classification of share-based compensation:
| Year Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | |
| Cost of revenues | $216 | $3,479 | $6,091 |

| Construction in progress | 26 | 22 | 343 |
| Total | $3,098 | $30,862 | $65,314 |
NOTE 21. MAINLAND CHINA CONTRIBUTION PLAN
Full time employees of the Company in the PRC participate in a government-mandated multi-employer defined contribution plan pursuant to which certain pension benefits, medical care, unemployment insurance, employee housing fund and other welfare benefits are provided to employees. Chinese labor regulations require the Company to accrue for these benefits based on certain percentages of the employees’ salaries. The total provisions for such employee benefits were $5,548, $5,012 and $3,552 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
NOTE 22. STATUTORY RESERVES AND RESTRICTED NET ASSETS
Relevant PRC statutory laws and regulations permit payments of dividends by the Company’s PRC subsidiaries only out of their retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. The results of operations reflected in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP differ from those reflected in the statutory financial statements of the Company’s subsidiaries.
Because the Company’s subsidiaries in the PRC can only be paid out of distributable profits reported in accordance with PRC accounting standards, the Company’s entities in the PRC are restricted from transferring a portion of their net assets to the Company. In accordance with the Regulations on Enterprises with Foreign Investment of China and their articles of association, a foreign invested enterprise established in the PRC is required to provide certain statutory reserves, namely general reserve fund, the enterprise expansion fund and staff welfare and bonus fund which are appropriated from net profit as reported in the enterprise’s PRC statutory accounts, which is included in the retained earnings account in the equity section of the consolidated balance sheets. A wholly-owned foreign invested enterprise is required to allocate at least 10% of its annual after-tax profit to the general reserve until such reserve reaches 50% of its respective registered capital based on the enterprise’s PRC statutory accounts. Appropriations to the enterprise expansion fund and staff welfare and bonus fund are at the discretion of the board of directors for all foreign invested enterprises. The aforementioned reserves can only be used for specific purposes and are not distributable as cash dividends. If any PRC subsidiary incurs debt on its own behalf in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments to the Company. Any limitation on the ability of the PRC subsidiaries to distribute dividends or other payments to their respective shareholders could materially and adversely limit the ability to grow, make investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to pay dividends.
The restricted amounts include the paid-in capital and statutory reserves of the Company’s entities in the PRC. The aggregate amount of paid-in capital and statutory reserves, which is the amount of net assets of the Company’s entities in the PRC (mainland) not available for distribution, were $528,337 and $528,337 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
NOTE 23. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company’s business includes the design, development, manufacturing, sales and leasing of battery components and systems primarily for electric commercial vehicles and ESS. The Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), as the CODM, organizes our company for a single operating and reportable segment. The CODM uses geographic revenues and operating income to allocate operating and capital resources and assesses performance of each segment by comparing actual gross profit and actual geographic revenues results to historical results and previously forecasted financial information.
The measure of segment revenue, operating income is reported on the statement of operation as the total consolidated revenue and operating income. The segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets.

NOTE 24. RELATED PARTY BALANCES AND TRANSACTIONS
The outstanding balance for the amount due to Ochem Chemical Co., Ltd controlled by the Chief Executive Officer was $2 as of December 31, 2025 and $5 as of December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company also has a convertible loan with the Chief Executive Officer as described in Note 25 below.
NOTE 25. CONVERTIBLE LOAN MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE
On May 28, 2024, Microvast Inc. entered into a $25,000 convertible loan agreement ("Loan Agreement") with Mr. Yang Wu, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman.
The loan consists of an initial term loan of $12,000 and a delayed draw term loan of $13,000, bearing an initial interest rate equal to SOFR plus an applicable margin of 9.75% per annum. Of this interest,3.75% is paid in kind, with the remainder payable in cash. The original maturity date was November 28, 2025, subject to acceleration in the event of default under the terms of the Loan Agreement.
On March 17, 2025, the Company entered into a First Amendment to the Loan Agreement with Mr. Yang Wu to extend the maturity date from November 28, 2025 to May 28, 2026. All other terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement remain unchanged.
The Loan Agreement also grants Mr. Wu the right to convert the outstanding principal balance of the loan into shares of common stock at an initial conversion rate oftwo shares per $1.00 of principal amount converted.
The initial term loan of $12,000 was received in May 2024 and the delayed draw term loan of $13,000 was received in July 2024.
The loan is secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of its assets by Microvast Inc. and all other entities within the Company as guarantors.
The Company has elected fair value option to account for the convertible loan. Direct costs and fees related to the convertible loan were expensed as incurred. Subsequent changes in the fair value are recorded as a gain or loss in the consolidated statement of operations. The fair value of the Convertible loan was $140,929 as of December 31, 2025.
The significant input of the discounted cash flow model for the bond component is the discount rate. Below are the key inputs used in Black-Scholes-Merton model for the conversion option:
| Market price of public stock | $2.80 |
|---|---|
| Exercise price | $0.50 |
| Expected term (years) | 0.41 |
| Volatility | 57.58% |
| Risk-free interest rate | 3.56% |
| 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 estimated using a blend of the average volatility of peer companies and the Company's historical volatility. The risk-free interest rate was estimated based on the market yield of U.S. 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.
In connection with the convertible loan from Mr. Wu, on May 28, 2024, the Company also issued to Mr. Wu a warrant exercisable for 5,500,000 shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $2.00 per share. The warrant expires on May 28, 2029. No warrants were exercised for the year ended December 31, 2025. The warrants were classified as equity and the Company recorded $779 in additional paid in capital, representing fair value at the issuance date.

NOTE 27. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
Corporate Governance Actions
Stephen Vogel, Ruth Epstein, Stefan Selig, Richard Rieger, Amy Butte, Yang Wu and Yanzhuan Zheng have been named as defendants in litigation filed in the Court of Chancery captioned Matt Jacob v. Stephen A. Vogel, et al., C.A. No. 2022-0600-PAF (Del. Ch.) (filed July 07, 2022). The plaintiff is seeking to certify the litigation as a stockholder class action. The complaint alleges that Stephen Vogel, Ruth Epstein, Stefan Selig, Richard Rieger and Amy Butte breached their fiduciary duties in connection with Tuscan's acquisition of Microvast, Inc., including by making inadequate disclosures concerning the projected earnings of Microvast, Inc. The complaint further alleges that once the earnings of the combined company became public, the Company's stock dropped, causing losses to investors. The complaint also alleges that Yang Wu and Yanzhuan Zheng aided and abetted these purported breaches. Certain defendants have answered the complaint, and certain defendants have filed motions to dismiss, which they argued on April 07, 2025. On July 08, 2025, the Court requested supplemental briefing from the parties regarding the impact of a newly issued Delaware Supreme Court opinion on the plaintiff's aiding-and-abetting claim against Messrs. Wu and Zheng. The supplemental briefing was completed on September 09, 2025. The Court has not yet decided those motions.
On December 13, 2023, in response to a stockholder litigation demand, the Company filed a petition in the Court of Chancery pursuant to Section 205 of the Delaware General Corporation Law seeking validation of an amendment to the Company’s Amended Certificate of Incorporation, the Business Combination and the issuance of the shares issued pursuant thereto, and the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation adopted in connection with the Business Combination (collectively, the “Acts”) to resolve any uncertainty with respect to those matters, which action was captioned In re Microvast Holdings Inc., C.A. No. 2023-1245-PAF. On March 18, 2024, the Court of Chancery granted the petition, validating and declaring effective each Act as of the time and date such Act was originally taken.
The Company, the directors of the Company predecessor, Tuscan, and certain former and current Company officers and directors have also been named as defendants in litigation filed in the Court of Chancery captioned Denish Bhavsar v. Stephen Vogel, et al., Case No. 2024-0137-PAF (Del. Ch.) (filed Feb. 14, 2024). The plaintiff purports to assert derivative claims on behalf of the Company. The complaint alleges that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties in connection with Tuscan’s acquisition of Microvast, Inc., including by making inadequate disclosures concerning Microvast, Inc.’s earnings and alleged conflicts of interest that existed between certain directors and Company stockholders. Certain defendants filed motions to dismiss, and a hearing on those motions is scheduled for April 1, 2026.
The Company, and certain former and current Company officers and directors have also been named as defendants in a litigation filed in the Court of Chancery captioned Henry Park v. Yang Wu, et al., C.A. No. 2024-0868-PAF (Del. Ch.) (filed August 19, 2024). The plaintiff purports to assert derivative claims on behalf of the Company. The complaint alleges that certain individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties in connection with Tuscan’s acquisition of Microvast, Inc., including by making inadequate disclosures concerning Microvast, Inc.’s earnings and by refusing to investigate a litigation demand. On October 14, 2024, the Company and other defendants filed a motion to dismiss. That motion has been fully briefed and a hearing is scheduled for April 20, 2026.
The Company has received additional demands from purported Company stockholders, requesting that the Company’s Board of Directors investigate whether current and former directors and officers of the Company and its predecessors, Tuscan and Microvast Inc., breached their fiduciary duties by allegedly making material misrepresentations about inter alia (1) Microvast Inc.’s performance and financial health in connection with the merger between Tuscan and Microvast, Inc., and (2) the Company’s loss of a conditional grant from the United States Department of Energy. The Company has responded to the demands. The Company has also received and responded to stockholder demands for books and records made pursuant to Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law that purportedly seek to investigate the (i) loss of the DOE grant, and (ii) Company's bases for denying one of the referenced stockholder demands.
Securities Litigation
The Company and certain of its officers have also been named as defendants in a putative class action complaint by a stockholder of the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas under the caption Schelling v. Microvast Holdings, Inc., Case No. 4:23-cv-04565 (S.D. Tex.) (filed Dec. 5, 2023) (the “Schelling Action”). The complaint alleges that defendants violated certain federal securities laws by making misleading statements regarding the receipt of a conditional grant from the United States Department of Energy, the Company’s profitability, the nature of Company-associated operations in China, and the status and progress of the construction of a facility owned by the Company. On March 1, 2024, the court appointed Co-Lead Plaintiffs and Co-Lead Counsel for the proposed class of Company investors. Plaintiffs amended their complaint on May 13, 2024, and Defendants filed a motion to dismiss on June 20, 2024. On August 22, 2025, the Court granted in part and denied in part the motion to dismiss. Defendants filed their Answer on October 14, 2025. The lawsuit is currently in the discovery phase. Briefing on the class certification is scheduled to take place from June to October 2026, and briefing on dispositive motions from April to July 2027. The case has not yet been set for trial.
The Company and certain of its officers and directors have also been named as defendants in three derivative actions filed in the Southern District of Texas under the captions Bhavsar v. Wu et al., No. 4:24-cv-00372 (S.D. Tex.) (filed Jan. 31, 2024), Marti et al v. Wu et al, Case No. 4:24-cv-00633 (S.D. Tex.) (filed Feb. 23, 2024), Gidaro v. Wu et al, Case No. 4:24-cv-00828 (S.D. Tex.) (filed Mar. 6, 2024). The complaints allege that the officer and director defendants violated the federal securities laws by making inadequate disclosures substantially similar to those alleged in the Schelling Action. The complaints further allege that these inadequate disclosures resulted from, and constituted, breaches of the officer and director defendants’ fiduciary duties. On February 24, 2024, the court entered in an order in the first-filed case, Bhavsar v. Wu et al., No. 4:24-cv-00372, consolidating the Bhavsar case and Marti et al v. Wu et al, Case No. 4:24-cv-00633. The consolidated derivative litigation (the “Consolidated Derivative Action”) is captioned In re Microvast Holdings, Inc. Derivative Litigation, Lead Case No. 4:24-cv-00372 (S.D. Tex.). The parties in the Gidardo action filed a stipulation to consolidate the Gidaro case into the Consolidated Derivative Action. The Consolidated Derivative Action is currently stayed. The allegations in the Consolidated Derivative Action are substantially similar to the allegations raised in the Securities Class Action. On March 18, 2024, the parties in the Derivative Action filed a joint motion to stay the proceedings pending a ruling in the Securities Class Action on the anticipated motion to dismiss. The Court granted the motion to stay on March 24, 2024. As of March 9, 2026, the stay remains in effect.
A fourth derivative complaint was filed on November 19, 2025 in the United States Court (S.D. Tex) under the caption Richard Swenson and Lori Swenson v. Yang Wu, et al., No. 4:25-cv-05561. Following entry of a stipulation to consolidate the Swenson action with already-pending cases, the Swenson case was voluntarily dismissed on January 27, 2026.
Pursuant to the Company's governing documents and indemnification agreements entered into by the Company with certain of the named defendants, in the above-described actions, the Company has indemnified those defendants for expenses and losses related to the litigation subject to the terms of those indemnification agreements. While the lawsuits are being vigorously defended, other reported lawsuits of this type have resulted in a broad range of outcomes, with each case being dependent on its own unique set of facts and circumstances. Litigation of this kind can lead to settlement negotiations, including negotiations prompted by pre-trial civil court procedures. The outcome of any litigation is inherently uncertain, and there is always the possibility that a court rules in a manner that is adverse to the interests of the Company and the individual defendants. However, the amount of any such loss in that scenario, which could be material, cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
Other Matters
Deidra Milan is an ex-employee of Microvast, and is the putative representative of a class of more than 100 individual employees who were let go from their jobs at a plant in Clarksville, Tennessee. She has filed Civil Action No. 3:24-cv-00627, Deidre Milan, Plaintiff v. Microvast, Inc. and Microvast Holdings, Inc. in the US District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee. The Company filed an answer to the suit on July 19, 2024. The class action complaint is brought under the Worker Adjustment and Notification Act, 29 U.S.C. §§2101-2109 (the “WARN Act”), which requires advance notice before certain types of plant closings and mass layoffs. Plaintiff alleges that Defendants failed to give proper advance notice of a mass layoff in violation of the WARN Act. Plaintiffs sought backpay, medical expenses, attorney’s fees and statutory penalties in an unspecified amount. Class counsel and the Company have agreed on the terms of a class action settlement agreement subject to court approval. The Court has granted preliminary court approval of the class action settlement. Potential class members will now receive notice of the settlement and an opportunity to object to the settlement terms or opt out of the settlement. The court will then need to rule on any objections and finally approve the settlement for all class members who do not opt out of the class settlement.

Ch.) (filed June 20, 2024).

Microvast, Inc.and the Industrial Development Board of the County of Montgomery, Tennessee, Case No. RE-24-32 (Tenn. Ch.) (filed on July 01, 2024) brought by a prime contractor on the Microvast Facility in Tennessee for lien enforcement of $1,769. The Parties entered into a settlement agreement, but after the defendant made one settlement payment and a dispute arose when a third party hacked plaintiff's email system and directed defendant to wire settlement payments to a fictitious bank account. Plaintiff amended its complaint to add a claim for breach of the settlement agreement, and defendant amended its answer to assert a counterclaim for plaintiff's breach of the settlement agreement. Defendant also filed a motion to compel arbitration of the entire matter based on an arbitration provision in the parties' underlying contract, which the trial court denied. Defendant has appealed the trial court's order denying arbitration, resulting in a stay of the trial court proceedings pending the appeal. Briefing has not yet begun on the appeal.
Microvast, Inc. has initiated lawsuit as a plaintiff in an action filed in the 11th Judicial District Court, Harris County, Texas under the caption Microvast, Inc. v. Grupo Basan Barba Santana, S.A. De C.V., Cause No. 2025-11326 (filed on February 19, 2025). Microvast ordered and paid energy storage systems from Grupo Basan. Microvast ended the supply contract and under the supply contract, Microvast was entitled to the return of a large portion of the $3.5 million deposit Microvast had paid Grupo Basan as well as compensation for a significant number of products that it never received. However, Grupo Basan not only has failed to return those funds, but Grupo Basan has itself demanded $2.4 million in termination costs that are not provided for in the supply agreement. Microvast filed suit in Harris County, Texas seeking at least $2.6 million plus fees and interest. Grupo Basan has filed counterclaims against Microvast for breach of contract and quantum meruit, seeking monetary relief of more than $1 million, which Microvast denies and is vigorously contesting. Discovery is proceeding and key depositions have been taken. Trial is set for September 2026.
On November 14, 2024, Microvast Energy, Inc. was named as a defendant in breach of contract action filed before the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under the caption Clenera Battery Holdco LLC v. Microvast, Inc.., Case No. 01-24-0008-7288. Clenera asserted a claim for breach of a supply agreement between Microvast and Clenera for custom-made battery containers. Clenera alleges that Microvast must refund approximately$36 milliondue to Microvast's failure to deliver the containers by the contractual deadline, per the terms of the supply agreement. Clenera also seeks interest and attorneys’ fees. On November 15, 2024, Clenera filed an action for the same claim against Microvast Holdings, Inc. in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, under the caption Clenera Battery Holdco LLC v. Microvast Holdings, Inc., Index No. 659103/2024. The guaranty action was consolidated into the arbitration. On December 3, 2025, the AAA issued the final award to Clenera of approximately $42.9 million, plus 9% interest for any amounts unsatisfied after December 3, 2025. This award was amended respectively on January 6, 2026 and January 16, 2026. On February 12, 2026, the parties entered into a confidential settlement agreement. The Company made the first payment to Clenera, and the agreement contemplates a second payment to be made on or before July 15, 2026.
The Company is also involved in other litigation, claims, and proceedings. The Company evaluates the status of each legal matter and assesses the potential financial exposure. If the potential loss from any legal proceedings or litigation is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, the Company accrues a liability for the estimated loss. Significant judgment is required to determine the probability of a loss and whether the amount of the loss is reasonably estimated. As of December 31, 2025, based on the information currently available, the Company believes that any loss contingencies that may arise as a result of currently pending legal proceedings cannot be accurately quantified at this time and thus cannot determine whether they will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
