Item 8.01. Other Events.

On May 20, 2025, the Board of Directors of CBAK Energy Technology, Inc. (the “Company”) authorized a stock repurchase program (the “Stock Repurchase Program”) under which the Company may repurchase up to $20 million of shares of its common stock. The Stock Repurchase Program will end on May 20, 2026. Repurchases under the Stock Repurchase Program may be made from time to time through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or such other manners as will comply with applicable laws and regulations. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including price, corporate and regulatory requirements, market conditions and other corporate liquidity requirements and priorities. The Stock Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to purchase any particular number of shares and there is no guarantee as to the exact number of shares that will be repurchased by the Company. The Stock Repurchase Program may be suspended, modified or terminated by the Company at any time and for any reason, without prior notice.

A copy of the press release announcing the Stock Repurchase Program is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, about the Company that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “should,” “will,” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions. Important factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include factors contained in the “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in the Company’s filings with the SEC from time to time, including, but not limited to, its most recent annual report on Form 10-K. The forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K are based upon information available to the Company as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, and while the Company believes such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete. These statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements. Except as required by law, the Company assumes no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements, other than as required by applicable law.
