EHang Announces Over US$22 Million PIPE Investment From Strategic Investors Including Enpower

GUANGZHOU, China, November 14, 2024 — EHang Holdings Limited (“EHang” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: EH), the world’s leading Urban Air Mobility (“UAM”) technology platform company, today announced a strategic investment totaling over US$22 million. The investors are Zhuhai Enpower Electric Co., Ltd. (“Enpower”, SZ300681), a Chinese leading new energy vehicle power systems provider, and a strategic institutional investor from the Middle East. Both investors agree to a 180-day lock-up period.

The strategic investment from Enpower is based on its recently announced long-term strategic partnership and technology development cooperation with EHang, aimed at co-developing high-performance electric motor drive systems for EHang’s suite of electric vertical take-off and landing (“eVTOL”) aircraft.

Additionally, the strategic investment from the United Arab Emirates (“UAE”)-based investor reflects their optimism in China’s emerging low-altitude economy industry and EHang’s growth potential as a global eVTOL leader. The UAE represents one of EHang’s largest international markets with an intentional order book of 100 units with five units delivered. This investor will utilize their extensive financial and business network to assist in EHang’s international expansion in other countries in the Middle East as well as in Southeast Asia.

This strategic investment brings EHang’s total year-to-date financing to nearly US$100 million, enhancing the Company’s financial position as it embarks on its next phase of development and growth in the global UAM industry. The financing proceeds will bolster EHang’s efforts to advance the Company’s next-generation eVTOL technologies and products, scale production capacity, expand its team, establish new headquarters and operation sites, and support general corporate activities.

Mr. Conor Yang, Chief Financial Officer of EHang, commented, “We are pleased to announce the strategic investment, which is a testament to the investors’ confidence in EHang’s vision, strength and industry leadership. With this investment, we are well-positioned to capitalize on the vast opportunities in the UAM market and accelerate our development pace. Additionally, the strategic investors’ support in the upstream industry chain and in downstream international market development will help us to strengthen our competitive edge. We will continue to push the boundaries of innovation, safety, and sustainability, and work towards making UAM a reality for people around the world.”
