Hong Kong, October 15, 2025 - Cango Inc. (NYSE: CANG) ("Cango" or the "Company") today announced that its board of directors has approved the termination of its American depository receipt (“ADR”) program*. The ADR program and the related Deposit Agreement are expected to terminate after market closes on Friday, November 14, 2025.  At such time, the Company’s ADSs will be mandatorily cancelled and the Class A ordinary shares underlying the ADSs will be distributed to holders of the ADSs. Each holder of one ADS will receive two Class A ordinary shares of the Company. The Company expects its Class A ordinary shares will be listed and commence trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the Company’s existing symbol “CANG” when market opens on Monday, November 17, 2025, the trading day immediately after termination of the ADR program.

The Company’s  board of directors has determined that termination of the ADR program and listing of the Class A ordinary shares directly is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. Among others, a direct listing of the Class A ordinary shares on NYSE will allow U.S. investors to exercise their rights directly as shareholders of the Company, as opposed to indirectly through the Depositary, and will eliminate depositary fees born by ADS holders. The transition may also enhance institutional visibility for the Company and support the Company’s strategy of becoming a U.S.-centric organization, which may broaden its investor base and appeal.

The Company has instructed the Depositary to distribute a termination notice to holders of ADSs on October 15, 2025, which will provide more information regarding the termination of the ADR program.

*Note: The ADR program being terminated was established pursuant to the Deposit Agreement, dated as of July 25, 2018, as amended, among the Company, Citibank, N.A. (the “Depositary”), and the holders and beneficial owners of American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) issued thereunder (the “Deposit Agreement”).
