This preliminary proxy statement details a comprehensive plan for Senmiao Technology to address its capital needs and Nasdaq listing compliance. It follows the 8-K filed on April 24, 2026, which announced the definitive agreement for the private placement. The company is seeking shareholder approval for a highly dilutive private placement of up to $11 million, which includes 10 million common shares and 40 million warrants. Additionally, shareholders will vote on authorizing a reverse stock split of up to 1:100, a measure often taken by companies to maintain their stock price above Nasdaq's minimum bid requirement. To accommodate this significant potential dilution and future capital raises, the company also proposes to increase its authorized shares from 50 million to 500 million. The combined effect of these proposals, if approved, represents a substantial restructuring of the company's equity, indicating a critical need for capital and a fight for continued listing, at the cost of extreme shareholder dilution.
