NEV”) and Thunder Power Hong Kong Ltd. (“TP HK”). You also disclose that Thunder
Power together with TP NEV are primarily engaged in design and development of EVs
and, as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, its primary operations are
conducted in Hong Kong and mainly focused on research and development
activities. Please reconcile this overview with the Spinoff of Predecessor Subsidiaries
disclosure on page F-57 of Thunder Power Holdings Limited financial statements. There
you describe both China New Energy Vehicle Company Limited (“China NEV”) and
Thunder Power Hong Kong Ltd. (“TP HK”) as dissimilar businesses with incidental
common facilities and costs. In your response, tell us to what extent, if any, these Spinoff
