Supplemental Submission Pursuant to Item 9C(a)
of Form 10-K
CBAK Energy Technology, Inc. (the “Company”)
is submitting to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) the following information as required under Item
9C(a) of Form 10-K in relation to the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the “HFCAA”).
On May 13, 2022, the Company was conclusively
identified by the SEC as a Commission-Identified Issuer pursuant to the HFCAA because it filed its Form 10-K (001-32898) for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2021, containing audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, with an audit
report by Centurion ZD CPA & Co. (“Centurion”). Centurion is a Hong Kong-based public accounting firm previously deemed
to be inaccessible for complete inspection by the PCAOB due to a position taken by an authority in the foreign jurisdiction. However,
in August 2022, the PCAOB took a significant step toward inspecting and investigating registered public accounting firms in mainland China
and Hong Kong by signing a Statement of Protocol with the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) and the Ministry of Finance of
the PRC. From September to November 2022, PCAOB staff conducted on-site inspections and investigations of Centurion.
In December 2022, the PCAOB announced
that it had obtained complete access to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms in the PRC and Hong Kong. It also confirmed
that, until new determinations are issued by the PCAOB, no Commission-Identified Issuers, including the Company, are at risk of trading
prohibition under the HFCAA.
The Company has no awareness or belief
that any governmental entity in the foreign jurisdiction of incorporation or organization owns shares of our capital stock. Similarly,
no official from the government of the PRC or Hong Kong serves as a board member or officer within our Company or its operating subsidiaries.
Our articles of incorporation and bylaws, as amended, do not contain any provisions known to include charter or bylaw provisions of the
Chinese Communist Party. In addition to public filings, the Company reviewed its shareholders’ list. As of
the date hereof, there are two shareholders, each of whom beneficially owns more than 5% of the Company’s common stock (as determined
pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act)—Yunfei Li, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board
of Directors (the “Board”), and Dawei Li, a long-term individual shareholder of the Company. To the Company’s knowledge,
none of these shareholders is a representative of any government entity in China or Hong Kong, or an official of the Chinese Communist
Party. In addition, the Company reviewed the business experiences of the directors, officers and senior management of the Company currently
consisting of: Yunfei Li; Xiangyu Pei, director; J. Simon Xue, independent director; Martha C. Agee, independent director; Jianjun He,
independent director; and Jiewei Li, Chief Financial Officer of the Company. None of these persons is a representative of any government entity in China or Hong Kong, and, to the knowledge
of the Company, none of these persons is an official of the Chinese Communist Party. Based on the absence of a Schedule 13D or 13G filing
by any such governmental entity, and the absence of foreign government representation on our Board, we have determined that no governmental
entity in mainland China or Hong Kong has the power to direct or control our management, policies, or possess a controlling financial
interest. The Company did not rely upon any legal opinions or third party certifications such as affidavits as the basis of its submission.
