Bruce A. Gage
Chief Financial Officer

Thanks for joining our call today. We're pleased to have this opportunity to meet with you and provide a summary of our third quarter 2024 results. Q3 was challenging for GoGro, and our financial performance and stock price were impacted. We recently announced our receipt of a NASDAQ listing compliance notice, our CEO's resignation, and a government inquiry into our potential use of imported parts in two vehicle models. Before we discuss our Q3 business results, we want to update you on each of these three points. As you know, Horace Luke resigned as Go-Gro's chairman and CEO on September 13th, 2024. We appreciate Horace's vision for urban mobility and making Go-Gro's battery swapping and vehicles a reality. The board responded quickly, appointing Danlong Zheng, chairman of Run Chen Investment Holding Company and the General Counsel of Runtex Group as GoBro's new chairman of the board. The board also appointed Henry Jiang as interim CEO. Prior to his new CEO role, Henry had been at GoBro for more than six years where he founded and led our GoShare business and most recently led our Taiwan business. According to NASDAQ listing rules, all companies must maintain a $1 per share average closing price of the company's common stock over a consecutive 30-day trading period. We were notified of our noncompliance by the NASDAQ on October 29th and issued a press release on November 1st in accordance with NASDAQ requirements. Under NASDAQ rules, GoGro has 180 days to regain compliance by achieving a closing bid price of at least $1 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. This notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the company's shares on NASDAQ, nor does it impact the company's operations or financial status. We are fully committed to remaining listed on the NASDAQ and plan to take all necessary steps to regain compliance with NASDAQ's listing requirements and to regain shareholder confidence. Now I'd like to introduce you to Henry Jiang, GoGrowth's interim CEO, to give you an update on his first two months in his new role and our plans for the future.
