Cango Inc. adjusts terms for crypto mining assets acquisition

NEW YORK - Cango Inc. (NYSE: CANG), a company that has delivered an impressive 214% return over the past year according to InvestingPro data, has announced an adjustment to the terms of its ongoing acquisition of crypto mining assets through a third amendment to the original Purchase Agreement. This amendment revises the number of Class A ordinary shares to be issued to sellers, now totaling 146,670,925 at closing, with a potential addition of 97,780,616 bonus shares contingent on a trigger event.

The amendment follows changes stemming from Cango’s recent divestiture of its PRC business on May 27, 2025. With a strong balance sheet showing more cash than debt and a healthy financial score rated as GOOD by InvestingPro, the updated terms stipulate that additional shares, known as Adjustment Shares, will be issued if the proceeds from the PRC business sale fall by US$7.0 million or more, a change from the original condition based on net asset value.

Upon finalization of the Share-Settled Transactions, Golden TechGen Limited (GT) is expected to hold approximately 18.79% of Cango’s total outstanding shares, with all sellers collectively owning about 41.38% before any bonus or adjustment shares are issued. Further, a definitive agreement dated June 2, 2025, details that the company’s co-founders and their holding company, Enduring Wealth Capital Limited (EWCL), will also maintain significant ownership and voting power in the company.

Additionally, GT has undergone a change of control, with Mr. Max Hua no longer holding shares. The new shareholders, Mr. Ning Wang, Mr. Youngil Kim, and Mr. Wye Sheng Kong, each now control one-third of GT’s voting power. Mr. Wang, a finance professional with over 16 years of experience, is set to exercise director nomination rights at Cango, succeeding Mr. Hua.

The closure of the Share-Settled Transactions is subject to certain conditions that have yet to be met, and the company is actively working towards their satisfaction. However, there is no guarantee that these conditions will be met or that the transactions will be completed as planned.
