17、Shares were issued in a private placement completed on February 19,2025 pursuantto certain securities purchase agreements dated February 18,2025,by and between the Company and the Selling Stockholders,asfurther described below under“Prospectus Summary Recent Developments The February 2025 Private Pl
18、acement”on page 3of this prospectus.The Selling Stockholders are identified in the table commencing on page 33 of this prospectus.We are not selling any securitiesunder this prospectus and will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of Shares by the Selling Stockholders.Our registrationof the
19、 Shares covered by this prospectus does not mean that the Selling Stockholders will offer or sell any of the Shares.TheSelling Stockholders may sell any,all or none of the Shares offered by this prospectus and we do not know when or in what amountthe Selling Stockholders may sell their Shares hereun

22、forms a part would represent approximately 32.2%of the 24,938,819 shares of our Common Stock outstanding.Giventhe substantial number of shares being registered for potential resale by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this prospectus,whether as a result of substantial sales of our Common Stock by
23、 the Selling Stockholders or the perception in the market thatholders of a large number of Selling Stockholders intend to sell their shares,the market price of shares of our Common Stock coulddecline significantly and the volatility of the market price of our Common Stock could increase significantl
24、y,even if our researchand development efforts are going well.See“Risk Factors”beginning on page14 of this prospectus for more information.Our Common Stock is traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol“CREG.”On April 28,2025,the closing sale priceof the Common Stock on Nasdaq was$0.6889 per
25、 share.We are a smaller reporting company under the federal securities laws and,as such,are subject to certain reduced public companyreporting requirements.See“Prospectus Summary-Implications of Being a Smaller Reporting Company”on page 12 of thisprospectus.Smart Powerr Corp.,or the Company or CREG,
26、is a holding company incorporated in the state of Nevada.As a holdingcompany with no material operations,CREG conducts a substantial majority of its operations through its subsidiariesestablished in the Peoples Republic of China,or the PRC or China.Investors are cautioned that you are not buying sha
27、resof a China-based operating company but instead are buying shares of a Nevada company with operations primarilyconducted by our subsidiaries based in China and that this structure involves unique risks to investors.Furthermore,shareholders may face difficulties enforcing their legal rights under U
28、nited States securities laws against our directors and officerswho are located outside of the United States.See“Risk Factors-Risks Related to Doing Business in China-Uncertainties withrespect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us”in our 2024 Annual Report,which is incorporated herein by
29、reference.2025/5/20 10:33sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/721693/000121390025045429/ea0242536-s1a2_smartpowerr.htmhttps:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/721693/000121390025045429/ea0242536-s1a2_smartpowerr.htm4/66 Our equity structure is a direct holding structure.Within our direct holding structure,the
30、cross-border transfer of funds within ourcorporate entities is legal and compliant with the laws and regulations of the PRC.After the foreign investors funds enter CREG,the funds can be directly transferred to the PRC operating companies through its subsidiaries.Specifically,CREG is permittedunder t
31、he Nevada laws to provide funding to our subsidiary,Sifang Holdings,in the Cayman Islands through loans or capitalcontributions without restrictions on the amount of the funds,subject to satisfaction of applicable government registration,approvaland filing requirements.Sifang Holdings is also permit
32、ted under the laws of Cayman Islands to provide funding to CREG throughdividend distribution without restrictions on the amount of the funds.Current PRC regulations permit our PRC subsidiaries to paydividends to the Company only out of their accumulated profits,if any,determined in accordance with C
33、hinese accountingstandards and regulations.As of the date hereof,there have not been any transfers,dividends or distributions made between theholding company,its subsidiaries,and to investors.Furthermore,as of the date hereof,no cash generated from one subsidiary isused to fund another subsidiarys o
34、perations and we do not anticipate any difficulties or limitations on our ability to transfer cashbetween subsidiaries.We have also not installed any cash management policies that dictate the amount of such funds or how suchfunds are transferred.For the foreseeable future,we intend to use the earnin
35、gs for our business operations and as a result,we do notintend to distribute earnings or pay any cash dividends.See“Transfers of Cash to and from Our Subsidiaries”on page 6 of thisprospectus.Because our operations are primarily located in the PRC through our subsidiaries,we are subject to certain le
36、gal and operationalrisks associated with our operations in China,including changes in the legal,political and economic policies of the Chinesegovernment,the relations between China and the U.S,or Chinese or U.S regulations may materially and adversely affect ourbusiness,financial condition and resul
37、ts of operations.PRC laws and regulations governing our current business operations aresometimes vague and uncertain,and therefore,these risks may result in a material change in our operations and the value of ourcommon stock,or could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or
38、continue to offer our securities to investorsand cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless.The PRC government initiated a series of regulatoryactions and statements to regulate business operations in China with little advance notice,including cracking down on illega
39、lactivities in the securities market,enhancing supervision over China-based companies listed overseas using a variable interestentity structure,adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews,and expanding the efforts in anti-monopolyenforcement.As confirmed by our PRC counsel,Sha
40、anxi Yan Tan Law Firm(“Yan Tan”),we will not be subject to cybersecurityreview with the Cyberspace Administration of China,or the“CAC,”after the Cybersecurity Review Measures became effective onFebruary 15,2022,since we currently do not have over one million users personal information and do not ant
41、icipate that we willbe collecting over one million users personal information in the foreseeable future,which we understand might otherwise subjectus to the Cybersecurity Review Measures.We do not believe that our subsidiaries are directly subject to these regulatory actions orstatements,as we have
42、not implemented any monopolistic behavior and our business does not involve the collection of user data orimplicate cybersecurity.As of the date hereof,no relevant laws or regulations in the PRC explicitly require us to seek approvalfrom the China Securities Regulatory Commission,or the CSRC,or any
43、other PRC governmental authorities for future offerings,nor has our Nevada holding company or any of our subsidiaries received any inquiry,notice,warning or sanctions regardingprevious offerings from the CSRC or any other PRC governmental authorities.However,on February 17,2023,the CSRCpromulgated T
44、rial Administrative Measures of the Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies(the“Overseas Listing Trial Measures”)and five relevant guidelines,which became effective on March 31,2023.According to theOverseas Listing Trial Measures,PRC domestic companies that seek to offer and l
45、ist securities in overseas markets,either in director indirect means,are required to fulfill the filing procedure with the CSRC and report relevant information.The Overseas ListingTrial Measures provides that an overseas listing or offering is explicitly prohibited,if any of the following:(1)such se
46、curitiesoffering and listing is explicitly prohibited by provisions in laws,administrative regulations and relevant state rules;(2)theintended securities offering and listing may endanger national security as reviewed and determined by competent authorities underthe State Council in accordance with
47、law;(3)the domestic company intending to make the securities offering and listing,or itscontrolling shareholder(s)and the actual controller,have committed relevant crimes such as corruption,bribery,embezzlement,misappropriation of property or undermining the order of the socialist market economy dur
48、ing the latest three years;(4)thedomestic company intending to make the securities offering and listing is currently under investigations for suspicion of criminaloffenses or major violations of laws and regulations,and no conclusion has yet been made thereof;or(5)there are materialownership dispute
49、s over equity held by the domestic companys controlling shareholder(s)or by other shareholder(s)that arecontrolled by the controlling shareholder(s)and/or actual controller.2025/5/20 10:33sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/721693/000121390025045429/ea0242536-s1a2_smartpowerr.htmhttps:/www.sec.gov/Archives/
50、edgar/data/721693/000121390025045429/ea0242536-s1a2_smartpowerr.htm5/66 The Overseas Listing Trial Measures also provides that if the issuer meets both the following criteria,the overseas securitiesoffering and listing conducted by such issuer will be deemed as indirect overseas offering by PRC dome
51、stic companies:(1)50%ormore of any of the issuers operating revenue,total profit,total assets or net assets as documented in its audited consolidatedfinancial statements for the most recent fiscal year is accounted for by domestic companies;and(2)the issuers main businessactivities are conducted in
52、China,or its main place(s)of business are located in China,or the majority of senior management staffin charge of its business operations and management are PRC citizens or have their usual place(s)of residence located in China.Where an issuer submits an application for initial public offering to co
53、mpetent overseas regulators,such issuer must file with theCSRC within three business days after such application is submitted.In addition,the Overseas Listing Trial Measures provide thatthe direct or indirect overseas listings of the assets of domestic companies through one or more acquisitions,shar
54、e swaps,transfersor other transaction arrangements shall be subject to filing procedures in accordance with the Overseas Listing Trial Measures.TheOverseas Listing Trial Measures also requires subsequent reports to be filed with the CSRC on material events,such as change ofcontrol or voluntary or fo
55、rced delisting of the issuer(s)who have completed overseas offerings and listings.At a press conference held for these new regulations(“Press Conference”),officials from the CSRC clarified that the domesticcompanies that have already been listed overseas on or before March 31,2023 shall be deemed as
56、 existing issuers(the“ExistingIssuers”).Existing Issuers are not required to complete the filling procedures immediately,and they shall be required to file withthe CSRC upon occurrences of certain subsequent matters such as follow-on offerings of securities.According to the OverseasListing Trial Mea
57、sures and the Press Conference,the existing domestic companies that have completed overseas offering andlisting before March 31,2023,such as us,shall not be required to perform filing procedures for the completed overseas securitiesissuance and listing.However,from the effective date of the regulati
58、on,any of our subsequent securities offering in the sameoverseas market or subsequent securities offering and listing in other overseas markets shall be subject to the filing requirementwith the CSRC within three working days after the offering is completed or after the relevant application is submi
59、tted to therelevant overseas authorities,respectively.If it is determined that any approval,filing or other administrative procedures from otherPRC governmental authorities is required for any future offering or listing,we cannot assure you that we can obtain the requiredapproval or accomplish the r
60、equired filings or other regulatory procedures in a timely manner,or at all.If we fail to fulfill filingprocedure as stipulated by the Trial Measures or offer and list securities in an overseas market in violation of the Trial Measures,the CSRC may order rectification,issue warnings to us,and impose
61、 a fine of between RMB1,000,000 and RMB10,000,000.Persons-in-charge and other persons that are directly liable for such failure shall be warned and each imposed a fine fromRMB500,000 to RMB5,000,000.Controlling shareholders and actual controlling persons of us that organize or instruct suchviolation
62、s shall be imposed a fine from RMB1,000,000 and RMB10,000,000.On February 24,2023,the CSRC published the Provisions on Strengthening the Confidentiality and Archives AdministrationRelated to the Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Enterprises(the“Provisions on Confidentiality and Ar
63、chivesAdministration”),which came into effect on March 31,2023.The Provisions on Confidentiality and Archives Administrationrequires that,in the process of overseas issuance and listing of securities by domestic entities,the domestic entities,and securitiescompanies and securities service institutio
64、ns that provide relevant securities service shall strictly implement the provisions ofrelevant laws and regulations and the requirements of these provisions,establish and improve rules on confidentiality and archivesadministration.Where the domestic entities provide with or publicly disclose documen
65、ts,materials or other items related to thestate secrets and government work secrets to the relevant securities companies,securities service institutions,overseas regulatoryauthorities,or other entities or individuals,the companies shall apply for approval of competent departments with the authority
66、ofexamination and approval in accordance with law and report the matter to the secrecy administrative departments at the same levelfor record filing.Where there is unclear or controversial whether or not the concerned materials are related to state secrets,thematerials shall be reported to the relev
67、ant secrecy administrative departments for determination.However,there remainuncertainties regarding the further interpretation and implementation of the Provisions on Confidentiality and ArchivesAdministration.2025/5/20 10:33sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/721693/000121390025045429/ea0242536-s1a2_smart

69、s of our PRC subsidiaries.In addition,as of the date of thisprospectus,we and our PRC subsidiaries are not required to obtain approval or permission from the CSRC or the CAC or any otherentity that is required to approve our PRC subsidiaries operations or required for us to offer securities to forei
70、gn investors underany currently effective PRC laws,regulations,and regulatory rules.If it is determined that we are subject to filing requirementsimposed by the CSRC under the Overseas Listing Regulations or approvals from other PRC regulatory authorities or otherprocedures,including the cybersecuri
71、ty review under the revised Cybersecurity Review Measures,for our future offshore offerings,it would be uncertain whether we can or how long it will take us to complete such procedures or obtain such approval and any suchapproval could be rescinded.Any failure to obtain or delay in completing such p
72、rocedures or obtaining such approval for ouroffshore offerings,or a rescission of any such approval if obtained by us,would subject us to sanctions by the CSRC or other PRCregulatory authorities for failure to file with the CSRC or failure to seek approval from other government authorization for our
73、offshore offerings.These regulatory authorities may impose fines and penalties on our operations in China,limit our ability to paydividends outside of China,limit our operating privileges in China,delay or restrict the repatriation of the proceeds from ouroffshore offerings into China or take other
74、actions that could materially and adversely affect our business,financial condition,results of operations,and prospects,as well as the trading price of our common stock.The CSRC or other PRC regulatoryauthorities also may take actions requiring us,or making it advisable for us,to halt our offshore o
75、fferings before settlement anddelivery of the securities offered.Consequently,if investors engage in market trading or other activities in anticipation of and priorto settlement and delivery,they do so at the risk that settlement and delivery may not occur.In addition,if the CSRC or otherregulatory
76、authorities later promulgate new rules or explanations requiring that we obtain their approvals or accomplish therequired filing or other regulatory procedures for our prior offshore offerings,we may be unable to obtain a waiver of suchapproval requirements,if and when procedures are established to
77、obtain such a waiver.Any uncertainties or negative publicityregarding such approval requirement could materially and adversely affect our business,prospects,financial condition,reputation,and the trading price of our common stock.Since these statements and regulatory actions by the PRC government ar
78、e newly published and official guidance and relatedimplementation rules have not been issued,it is not highly uncertain how soon legislative or administrative regulation makingbodies will respond and what existing or new laws or regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations will be mod
79、ifiedor promulgated,if any,and the potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on our daily businessoperation,the ability to accept foreign investments and list on an U.S.or other foreign exchange.The Standing Committee of theNational Peoples Congress,or the SCNPC,or other P
80、RC regulatory authorities may in the future promulgate laws,regulations orimplementing rules that requires our company or any of our subsidiaries to obtain regulatory approval from Chinese authoritiesbefore future offerings in the U.S.In other words,although the Company is currently not required to
81、obtain permission from any ofthe PRC federal or local government to obtain such permission and has not received any denial to list on the U.S.exchange,ouroperations could be adversely affected,directly or indirectly;our ability to offer,or continue to offer,securities to investors wouldbe potentiall
82、y hindered and the value of our securities might significantly decline or be worthless,by existing or future laws andregulations relating to its business or industry or by intervene or interruption by PRC governmental authorities,if we or oursubsidiaries(i)do not receive or maintain such permissions
83、 or approvals,(ii)inadvertently conclude that such permissions orapprovals are not required,(iii)applicable laws,regulations,or interpretations change and we are required to obtain suchpermissions or approvals in the future,or(iv)any intervention or interruption by PRC governmental with little advan
84、ce notice.On March 24,2021,the SEC adopted interim final rules relating to the implementation of certain disclosure and documentationrequirements of the HFCAA.An identified issuer will be required to comply with these rules if the SEC identifies it as having a“non-inspection”year under a process to
85、be subsequently established by the SEC.On June 22,2021,U.S Senate passed theAccelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act,which was signed into law on December 29,2022,amending theHFCAA and requiring the SEC to prohibit an issuers securities from trading on any U.S.stock exchange if its aud
86、itor is notsubject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three consecutive years.If our auditor cannot be inspected bythe PCAOB,PCAOB,for two consecutive years,the trading of our securities on any U.S.national securities exchanges,as well asany over-the-counter trading in the U.S
87、.,will be prohibited.On September 22,2021,the PCAOB adopted a final rule implementingthe HFCAA,which provides a framework for the PCAOB to use when determining,as contemplated under the HFCAA,whetherthe PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms located i
88、n a foreign jurisdictionbecause of a position taken by one or more authorities in that jurisdiction.On December 2,2021,the SEC issued amendments tofinalize rules implementing the submission and disclosure requirements in the HFCA Act.The rules apply to registrants that theSEC identifies as having fi
89、led an annual report with an audit report issued by a registered public accounting firm that is located in aforeign jurisdiction and that PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority inforeign jurisdictions.On December 16,2021,the PCAOB issued a re
90、port on its determinations that it is unable to inspect orinvestigate completely PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and in Hong Kong,because ofpositions taken by PRC authorities in those jurisdictions.2025/5/20 10:33sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/721693/00012139002

92、B and subject to PCAOB inspection.Therefore,we believe Enrome LLP,our currentauditor,is not subject to the determinations as to the inability to inspect or investigate registered firms completely announced bythe PCAOB on December 16,2021.However,as more stringent criteria have been imposed by the SE
93、C and the PCAOB,recently,which would add uncertainties to future offerings,and we cannot assure you whether Nasdaq or other regulatory authorities wouldapply additional and more stringent criteria to us after considering the effectiveness of our auditors audit procedures and qualitycontrol procedure
94、s,adequacy of personnel and training,or sufficiency of resources,geographic reach or experience as it relates tothe audit of our financial statements.On August 26,2022,the CSRC,the Ministry of Finance of the PRC(the“MOF”),and thePCAOB signed a Statement of Protocol(the“Protocol”),governing inspectio
95、ns and investigations of audit firms based in Chinaand Hong Kong.The Protocol remains unpublished and is subject to further explanation and implementation.Pursuant to the factsheet with respect to the Protocol disclosed by the U.S.Securities and Exchange Commission(the“SEC”),the PCAOB shall haveinde
96、pendent discretion to select any issuer audits for inspection or investigation and has the unfettered ability to transferinformation to the SEC.See“The recent joint statement by the SEC and PCAOB,proposed rule changes submitted by Nasdaq,andthe HFCAA all call for additional and more stringent criter
97、ia to be applied to emerging market companies upon assessing thequalification of their auditors,especially the non-U.S.auditors which are not inspected by the PCAOB.These developments couldadd uncertainties to the trading of our common stock”in our 2024 Annual Report,which is incorporated herein by
98、reference.Smart Powerr Corp.is a holding company with no operations of its own.We conduct our operations in China primarily through oursubsidiaries in China.We may rely on dividends to be paid by our subsidiaries in China to fund our cash and financingrequirements,including the funds necessary to pa
99、y dividends and other cash distributions to our shareholders,to service any debtwe may incur and to pay our operating expenses.If our subsidiaries incur debt on their own behalf in the future,the instrumentsgoverning the debt may restrict its ability to pay dividends or make other distributions to u
100、s.We currently intend to retain all available funds and future earnings,if any,for the operation and expansion of our business and donot anticipate declaring or paying any dividends in the foreseeable future.Any future determination related to our dividend policywill be made at the discretion of our
101、 Board of Directors after considering our financial condition,results of operations,capitalrequirements,contractual requirements,business prospects and other factors the Board of Directors deems relevant,and subject tothe restrictions contained in any future financing instruments.Subject to the Neva
102、da Business Corporation Act and our bylaws,our Board of Directors may authorize and declare a dividend toshareholders at such time and of such an amount as it thinks fit if they are satisfied,on reasonable grounds,that immediatelyfollowing the dividend the value of our assets will exceed our liabili
103、ties and we will be able to pay our debts as they become due.To address persistent capital outflows and the RMBs depreciation against the U.S.dollar in the fourth quarter of 2016,the PeoplesBank of China and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange,or SAFE,have implemented a series of capital co
104、ntrol measuresin the subsequent months,including stricter vetting procedures for China-based companies to remit foreign currency for overseasacquisitions,dividend payments and shareholder loan repayments.The PRC government may continue to strengthen its capitalcontrols and our PRC subsidiaries divid
105、ends and other distributions may be subject to tightened scrutiny in the future.The PRCgovernment also imposes controls on the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of thePRC.Therefore,we may experience difficulties in completing the administrative procedures
106、 necessary to obtain and remit foreigncurrency for the payment of dividends from our profits,if any.Furthermore,if our subsidiaries in the PRC incur debt on their ownin the future,the instruments governing the debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments.If we or oursubsid
107、iaries are unable to receive all of the revenues from our operations,we may be unable to pay dividends on our commonstock.2025/5/20 10:33sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/721693/000121390025045429/ea0242536-s1a2_smartpowerr.htmhttps:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/721693/000121390025045429/ea0242536-s1a2

145、ospectus.We urge you to read this entire prospectus,including the more detailed consolidated financialstatements,notes to the consolidated financial statements and other information incorporated by reference from our otherfilings with the SEC.Investing in our securities involves risks.Therefore,care
146、fully consider the risk factors set forth in thisprospectus and in our most recent annual and quarterly filings with the SEC,as well as other information in this prospectus andthe documents incorporated by reference herein.Business Overview Smart Powerr Corp.is a holding company incorporated in the
147、state of Nevada.As a holding company with no materialoperations of our own,we conduct a substantial majority of our operations through our subsidiaries established in the PRC.We are a pioneer in waste energy recycling and a developer of energy efficiency solutions for various energy intensiveindustr
148、ies in China.We use Build-Operate-Transfer(“BOT”)model to provide energy saving and recovery facilities formultiple energy intensive industries in China.Our waste energy recycling projects allow customers which use substantialamounts of electricity to recapture previously wasted pressure,heat,and ga
149、s from their manufacturing processes to generateelectricity.We currently offer waste energy recycling systems to companies for use in nonferrous metal plants.We construct ourprojects at our customers facility and the electricity produced is used on-site by the customer.We develop fully customized pr
150、ojects across several verticals to better meet customers energy recovery needs.We provide aclean-technology and energy-efficient solution aimed at reducing the air pollution and energy shortage problems in China.Ourprojects capture industrial waste energy to produce low-cost electricity,enabling ind
151、ustrial manufacturers to reduce their energycosts by 5%to 20%,lower their operating costs,and in optimal circumstances,extend the life of primary manufacturingequipment,while still complying with government regulations on emissions.Specifically,our power generation systems use thewaste heat and pres
152、sure of flue gas generated during customers daily course of energy usage,such as manufacturing,and carryout necessary dust removal and desulfurization process afterwards,before putting the renewed energy back into use.Thepurified flue gas can reduce the wear and corrosion of pipes,valves and fans on
153、 the original production line,so as to improvethe service life of these equipment.In addition,our waste energy recycling projects allow our industrial customers to reducetheir reliance on Chinas centralized national power grid,which is prone to black-outs or brown-outs or is completelyinaccessible f
154、rom certain remote areas.Our projects generally produce lower carbon dioxide emissions and other pollutants,andare designed to be more environmentally friendly than other forms of power generation.Since 2007,we have primarily used the BOT model to serve our customers.For each project,we design,finan
155、ce,construct andinstall the waste energy recycling projects for our customers,operate the projects for five to 20 years,and then transfer theprojects to the owners.The BOT model creates a win-win solution for both our customers and us.We provide the capitalexpenditure financing in exchange for attra
156、ctive returns on each project;our customers can focus their capital resources on theircore businesses,do not need to invest additional capitals to comply with government environmental regulations,reduce noiseand emissions and reduce their energy costs.We in turn recapture our costs through the strea
157、m of lease payments.We are headquartered in China.Our principal executive offices are located at 4/F,Tower C,Rong Cheng Yun Gu Building,Keji3rd Road,Yanta District,Xian City,Shaanxi Province,China,and our telephone number at this location is+86-29-8765-1097.12025/5/20 10:33sec.gov/Archives/edgar/dat

180、holding company incorporated in the state of Nevada.As a holdingcompany with no material operations,CREG conducts a substantial majority of its operations through its subsidiariesestablished in the Peoples Republic of China,or the PRC or China.However,neither the holding company nor any of theCompan
181、ys Chinese subsidiaries conduct any operations through contractual arrangements with a variable interest entity basedin China.Investors in our common stock should be aware that they may never directly hold equity interests in the PRCoperating entities,but rather purchasing equity solely in CREG,our
182、Nevada holding company.Furthermore,shareholders mayface difficulties enforcing their legal rights under United States securities laws against our directors and officers who are locatedoutside of the United States.See“Risk Factors-Risks Related to Doing Business in China-Uncertainties with respect to
183、 thePRC legal system could adversely affect us”on page 23 of this prospectus.Our equity structure is a direct holding structure.Within our direct holding structure,the cross-border transfer of funds withinour corporate entities is legal and compliant with the laws and regulations of the PRC.After th
184、e foreign investors funds enterCREG,the funds can be directly transferred to the PRC operating companies through its subsidiaries.Specifically,CREG ispermitted under the Nevada laws to provide funding to our subsidiary in Cayman Islands through loans or capital contributionswithout restrictions on t
185、he amount of the funds,subject to satisfaction of applicable government registration,approval and filing2025/5/20 10:33sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/721693/000121390025045429/ea0242536-s1a2_smartpowerr.htmhttps:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/721693/000121390025045429/ea0242536-s1a2_smartpowerr.htm16
186、/66requirements.Our subsidiary in Cayman Islands is also permitted under the laws of Cayman Islands to provide funding toCREG through dividend distribution without restrictions on the amount of the funds.Current PRC regulations permit our PRCsubsidiaries to pay dividends to the Company only out of t
187、heir accumulated profits,if any,determined in accordance withChinese accounting standards and regulations.As of the date hereof,there have not been any transfers,dividends ordistributions made between the holding company,its subsidiaries,and to investors.Furthermore,as of the date hereof,no cashgene
188、rated from one subsidiary is used to fund another subsidiarys operations and we do not anticipate any difficulties orlimitations on our ability to transfer cash between subsidiaries.We have also not installed any cash management policies thatdictate the amount of such funds and how such funds are tr
189、ansferred.For the foreseeable future,we intend to use the earningsfor our business operations and as a result,we do not intend to distribute earnings or pay any cash dividends.See“Transfers ofCash to and from Our Subsidiaries”on page 6 of this prospectus.32025/5/20 10:33sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/7

191、 with our operations in China,including changes in the legal,political and economic policies of the Chinesegovernment,the relations between China and the U.S,or Chinese or U.S regulations may materially and adversely affect ourbusiness,financial condition and results of operations.PRC laws and regul
192、ations governing our current business operations aresometimes vague and uncertain,and therefore,these risks may result in a material change in our operations and the value of ourcommon stock,or could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our securities to
193、investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless.Recently,the PRC government initiateda series of regulatory actions and statements to regulate business operations in China with little advance notice,includingcracking down on illegal activities in the securit
194、ies market,enhancing supervision over China-based companies listed overseasusing a variable interest entity structure,adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews,and expandingthe efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement.As confirmed by our PRC counsel,Shaanxi Yan Tan Law Firm,we w
195、ill not besubject to cybersecurity review with the Cyberspace Administration of China,or the“CAC,”after the Cybersecurity ReviewMeasures became effective on February 15,2022,since we currently do not have over one million users personal informationand do not anticipate that we will be collecting ove
196、r one million users personal information in the foreseeable future,which weunderstand might otherwise subject us to the Cybersecurity Review Measures.We do not believe that our subsidiaries aredirectly subject to these regulatory actions or statements,as we have not implemented any monopolistic beha
197、vior and ourbusiness does not involve the collection of user data or implicate cybersecurity.As of the date hereof,no relevant laws orregulations in the PRC explicitly require us to seek approval from the China Securities Regulatory Commission,or the CSRC,or any other PRC governmental authorities fo
198、r future offerings,nor has our Nevada holding company or any of our subsidiariesreceived any inquiry,notice,warning or sanctions regarding previous offerings from the CSRC or any other PRC governmentalauthorities.However,on February 17,2023,the CSRC promulgated Trial Administrative Measures of the O
199、verseas SecuritiesOffering and Listing by Domestic Companies(the“Overseas Listing Trial Measures”)and five relevant guidelines,whichbecame effective on March 31,2023.According to the Overseas Listing Trial Measures,PRC domestic companies that seek tooffer and list securities in overseas markets,eith
200、er in direct or indirect means,are required to fulfill the filing procedure with theCSRC and report relevant information.The Overseas Listing Trial Measures provides that an overseas listing or offering isexplicitly prohibited,if any of the following:(1)such securities offering and listing is explic
201、itly prohibited by provisions inlaws,administrative regulations and relevant state rules;(2)the intended securities offering and listing may endanger nationalsecurity as reviewed and determined by competent authorities under the State Council in accordance with law;(3)the domesticcompany intending t
202、o make the securities offering and listing,or its controlling shareholder(s)and the actual controller,havecommitted relevant crimes such as corruption,bribery,embezzlement,misappropriation of property or undermining the order ofthe socialist market economy during the latest three years;(4)the domest
203、ic company intending to make the securities offeringand listing is currently under investigations for suspicion of criminal offenses or major violations of laws and regulations,andno conclusion has yet been made thereof;or(5)there are material ownership disputes over equity held by the domesticcompa
204、nys controlling shareholder(s)or by other shareholder(s)that are controlled by the controlling shareholder(s)and/oractual controller.The Overseas Listing Trial Measures also provides that if the issuer meets both the following criteria,the overseas securitiesoffering and listing conducted by such is
205、suer will be deemed as indirect overseas offering by PRC domestic companies:(1)50%or more of any of the issuers operating revenue,total profit,total assets or net assets as documented in its auditedconsolidated financial statements for the most recent fiscal year is accounted for by domestic compani
206、es;and(2)the issuersmain business activities are conducted in China,or its main place(s)of business are located in China,or the majority of seniormanagement staff in charge of its business operations and management are PRC citizens or have their usual place(s)ofresidence located in China.Where an is
207、suer submits an application for initial public offering to competent overseas regulators,such issuer must file with the CSRC within three business days after such application is submitted.In addition,the OverseasListing Trial Measures provide that the direct or indirect overseas listings of the asse
208、ts of domestic companies through one ormore acquisitions,share swaps,transfers or other transaction arrangements shall be subject to filing procedures in accordancewith the Overseas Listing Trial Measures.The Overseas Listing Trial Measures also requires subsequent reports to be filed withthe CSRC o
209、n material events,such as change of control or voluntary or forced delisting of the issuer(s)who have completedoverseas offerings and listings.42025/5/20 10:33sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/721693/000121390025045429/ea0242536-s1a2_smartpowerr.htmhttps:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/721693/00012139002

211、).Existing Issuers are not required to complete the filling procedures immediately,and they shall be required to filewith the CSRC upon occurrences of certain subsequent matters such as follow-on offerings of securities.According to theOverseas Listing Trial Measures and the Press Conference,the exi

226、escinded.Any failure to obtain or delay in completing such procedures or obtainingsuch approval for our offshore offerings,or a rescission of any such approval if obtained by us,would subject us to sanctions bythe CSRC or other PRC regulatory authorities for failure to file with the CSRC or failure
227、to seek approval from othergovernment authorization for our offshore offerings.These regulatory authorities may impose fines and penalties on ouroperations in China,limit our ability to pay dividends outside of China,limit our operating privileges in China,delay or restrictthe repatriation of the pr

229、ring us,or making it advisable for us,to halt ouroffshore offerings before settlement and delivery of the securities offered.Consequently,if investors engage in market tradingor other activities in anticipation of and prior to settlement and delivery,they do so at the risk that settlement and delive
230、ry maynot occur.In addition,if the CSRC or other regulatory authorities later promulgate new rules or explanations requiring that weobtain their approvals or accomplish the required filing or other regulatory procedures for our prior offshore offerings,we maybe unable to obtain a waiver of such appr

250、nd our PRC subsidiaries dividends and other distributions may be subject to tightened scrutinyin the future.The PRC government also imposes controls on the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies and the remittanceof currencies out of the PRC.Therefore,we may experience difficulties in completing
251、the administrative procedures necessaryto obtain and remit foreign currency for the payment of dividends from our profits,if any.Furthermore,if our subsidiaries in thePRC incur debt on their own in the future,the instruments governing the debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or makeother
252、 payments.If we or our subsidiaries are unable to receive all of the revenues from our operations,we may be unable to paydividends on our common stock.Cash dividends,if any,on our common stock will be paid in U.S.dollars.If we are considered a PRC tax resident enterprise fortax purposes,any dividend
253、s we pay to our overseas shareholders may be regarded as China-sourced income and as a result maybe subject to PRC withholding tax at up to 10%.To pay dividends to our shareholders,we will rely on payments made from our PRC subsidiaries,i.e.,Shanghai YinghuaFinancial Leasing Co.,Ltd,Shanghai TCH Ene

257、ign Company Accountable Act On March 24,2021,the SEC adopted interim final rules relating to the implementation of certain disclosure and documentationrequirements of the HFCAA.An identified issuer will be required to comply with these rules if the SEC identifies it as having a“non-inspection”year u
258、nder a process to be subsequently established by the SEC.On June 22,2021,U.S Senate passed theAccelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act,which was signed into law on December 29,2022,amending theHFCAA and requiring the SEC to prohibit an issuers securities from trading on any U.S.stock e
259、xchange if its auditor is notsubject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three consecutive years.If our auditor cannot be inspectedby the PCAOB,PCAOB,for two consecutive years,the trading of our securities on any U.S.national securities exchanges,aswell as any over-the-counter
260、trading in the U.S.,will be prohibited.On September 22,2021,the PCAOB adopted a final ruleimplementing the HFCAA,which provides a framework for the PCAOB to use when determining,as contemplated under theHFCAA,whether the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounti
261、ng firms located in aforeign jurisdiction because of a position taken by one or more authorities in that jurisdiction.On December 2,2021,the SECissued amendments to finalize rules implementing the submission and disclosure requirements in the HFCA Act.The rulesapply to registrants that the SEC ident
262、ifies as having filed an annual report with an audit report issued by a registered publicaccounting firm that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely becauseof a position taken by an authority in foreign jurisdictions.On December 16,2021,the

266、owever,as more stringent criteriahave been imposed by the SEC and the PCAOB,recently,which would add uncertainties to future offerings,and we cannotassure you whether Nasdaq or other regulatory authorities would apply additional and more stringent criteria to us afterconsidering the effectiveness of
267、 our auditors audit procedures and quality control procedures,adequacy of personnel andtraining,or sufficiency of resources,geographic reach or experience as it relates to the audit of our financial statements.OnAugust 26,2022,the CSRC,the Ministry of Finance of the PRC(the“MOF”),and the PCAOB signe

276、continue to offer securities to investors,or cause such securities tosignificantly decline in value or become worthless.On August 8,2006,six PRC regulatory agencies jointly adopted the Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of DomesticEnterprises by Foreign Investors,or the M&A Rules,which came int
277、o effect on September 8,2006 and were amended on June22,2009.The M&A Rules require that an offshore special purpose vehicle formed for overseas listing purposes and controlleddirectly or indirectly by PRC Citizens shall obtain the approval of the China Securities Regulatory Commission(“CSRC”)priorto
278、 overseas listing and trading of such special purpose vehicles securities on an overseas stock exchange.Based on ourunderstanding of the Chinese laws and regulations in effect at the time of this prospectus,we will not be required to submit anapplication to the CSRC for its approval of future offeri
279、ngs and the trading of common stock on the Nasdaq under the M&ARules.However,there remains some uncertainty as to how the M&A Rules will be interpreted or implemented,and therequirement standard may change when new laws,rules and regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations in anyform
280、 relating to the M&A Rules are installed.We cannot assure you that relevant Chinese government agencies,including theCSRC,would reach the same conclusion.Recently,the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the StateCouncil jointly issued the
281、 Opinions on Strictly Cracking Down on Illegal Securities Activities,which were made available tothe public on July 6,2021.The Opinions on Strictly Cracking Down on Illegal Securities Activities emphasized the need tostrengthen the administration over illegal securities activities,and the need to st
282、rengthen the supervision over overseas listingsby Chinese companies.Pursuant to the Opinions,Chinese regulators are required to accelerate rulemaking related to theoverseas issuance and listing of securities,and update the existing laws and regulations related to data security,cross-borderdata flow,
283、and management of confidential information.Numerous regulations,guidelines and other measures are expected tobe adopted under the umbrella of or in addition to the Cybersecurity Law and Data Security Law.As of the date hereof,noofficial guidance or related implementation rules have been issued.As a

286、mber 28,2021,the CAC and other relevant PRC governmental authorities jointly promulgated the CybersecurityReview Measures(the“new Cybersecurity Review Measures”)which took effect on February 15,2022 and replaced theoriginal Cybersecurity Review Measures.Pursuant to the new Cybersecurity Review Measu
287、res,if critical informationinfrastructure operators purchase network products and services,or network platform operators conduct data processingactivities that affect or may affect national security,they will be subject to cybersecurity review.A network platform operatorholding more than one million
288、 users/users individual information also shall be subject to cybersecurity review before listingabroad.The cybersecurity review will evaluate,among others,the risk of critical information infrastructure,core data,important data,or a large amount of personal information being influenced,controlled or
289、 maliciously used by foreigngovernments and risk of network data security after going public overseas.We believe that neither we nor our subsidiaries are currently required to obtain permission from any of the PRC authorities tooperate and issue our common stock to foreign investors,or required to o
290、btain permission or approval from the CSRC,CAC orany other governmental agency.Recently,however,the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party ofChina and the General Office of the State Council jointly issued the“Opinions on Severely Cracking Down on Illegal SecuritiesActivities
291、 According to Law,”or the“Opinions,”which were made available to the public on July 6,2021.The Opinionsemphasized the need to strengthen the administration over illegal securities activities and the need to strengthen the supervisionover overseas listings by Chinese companies.Effective measures,such
292、 as promoting the construction of relevant regulatorysystems,will be taken to deal with the risks and incidents of China-concept overseas listed companies,cybersecurity,dataprivacy protection requirements,and similar matters.The Opinions and any related implementing rules to be enacted maysubject us
293、 to compliance requirements in the future.Given the current regulatory environment in the PRC,we are still subject tothe uncertainty of different interpretation and enforcement of the rules and regulations in the PRC adverse to us,which maytake place quickly with little advance notice.See“The Opinio
294、ns recently issued by the General Office of the Central Committeeof the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council may subject us to additional compliancerequirement in the future”in our 2024 Annual Report,which is incorporated herein by reference.We believe we will not be
295、subject to the Cybersecurity Review Measures that became effective on February 15,2022 under theCAC,because we currently do not have over one million users personal information and do not anticipate that we will becollecting over one million users personal information in the foreseeable future,which
296、 we understand might check subject us tothe Cybersecurity Review Measures.We are also not subject to network data security review by the CAC if the DraftRegulations on the Network Data Security Administration are enacted as proposed,since we currently do not have over onemillion users personal infor
297、mation and do not collect data that affects or may affect national security and we do not anticipatethat we will be collecting over one million users personal information or data that affects or may affect national security in theforeseeable future,which we understand might otherwise subject us to t
298、he Security Administration Draft.Moreover,we believe that no relevant laws or regulations in the PRC explicitly require us to seek approval from the CSRC forour overseas listing plan.As of the date of this prospectus,we and our PRC subsidiaries have not received any inquiry,notice,warning,or sanctio
299、ns regarding our planned overseas listing from the CSRC or any other PRC governmental authorities.However,on February 17,2023,the CSRC promulgated Trial Administrative Measures of the Overseas Securities Offering andListing by Domestic Companies(the“Overseas Listing Trial Measures”)and five relevant
300、 guidelines,which became effectiveon March 31,2023.According to the Overseas Listing Trial Measures,PRC domestic companies that seek to offer and listsecurities in overseas markets,either in direct or indirect means,are required to fulfill the filing procedure with the CSRC andreport relevant inform
301、ation.The Overseas Listing Trial Measures provides that an overseas listing or offering is explicitlyprohibited,if any of the following:(1)such securities offering and listing is explicitly prohibited by provisions in laws,administrative regulations and relevant state rules;(2)the intended securitie
302、s offering and listing may endanger nationalsecurity as reviewed and determined by competent authorities under the State Council in accordance with law;(3)the domesticcompany intending to make the securities offering and listing,or its controlling shareholder(s)and the actual controller,havecommitte
303、d relevant crimes such as corruption,bribery,embezzlement,misappropriation of property or undermining the order ofthe socialist market economy during the latest three years;(4)the domestic company intending to make the securities offeringand listing is currently under investigations for suspicion of
304、 criminal offenses or major violations of laws and regulations,andno conclusion has yet been made thereof;or(5)there are material ownership disputes over equity held by the domesticcompanys controlling shareholder(s)or by other shareholder(s)that are controlled by the controlling shareholder(s)and/o

306、the following criteria,the overseas securitiesoffering and listing conducted by such issuer will be deemed as indirect overseas offering by PRC domestic companies:(1)50%or more of any of the issuers operating revenue,total profit,total assets or net assets as documented in its auditedconsolidated fi
307、nancial statements for the most recent fiscal year is accounted for by domestic companies;and(2)the issuersmain business activities are conducted in China,or its main place(s)of business are located in China,or the majority of seniormanagement staff in charge of its business operations and managemen
308、t are PRC citizens or have their usual place(s)ofresidence located in China.Where an issuer submits an application for initial public offering to competent overseas regulators,such issuer must file with the CSRC within three business days after such application is submitted.In addition,the OverseasL
309、isting Trial Measures provide that the direct or indirect overseas listings of the assets of domestic companies through one ormore acquisitions,share swaps,transfers or other transaction arrangements shall be subject to filing procedures in accordancewith the Overseas Listing Trial Measures.The Over
310、seas Listing Trial Measures also requires subsequent reports to be filed withthe CSRC on material events,such as change of control or voluntary or forced delisting of the issuer(s)who have completedoverseas offerings and listings.At a press conference held for these new regulations(“Press Conference
311、”),officials from the CSRC clarified that the domesticcompanies that have already been listed overseas on or before March 31,2023 shall be deemed as existing issuers(the“ExistingIssuers”).Existing Issuers are not required to complete the filling procedures immediately,and they shall be required to f
312、ilewith the CSRC upon occurrences of certain subsequent matters such as follow-on offerings of securities.According to theOverseas Listing Trial Measures and the Press Conference,the existing domestic companies that have completed overseasoffering and listing before March 31,2023,such as us,shall no
313、t be required to perform filing procedures for the completedoverseas securities issuance and listing.However,from the effective date of the regulation,any of our subsequent securitiesoffering in the same overseas market or subsequent securities offering and listing in other overseas markets shall be
314、 subject tothe filing requirement with the CSRC within three working days after the offering is completed or after the relevant applicationis submitted to the relevant overseas authorities,respectively.If it is determined that any approval,filing or other administrativeprocedures from other PRC gove
315、rnmental authorities is required for any future offering or listing,we cannot assure you that wecan obtain the required approval or accomplish the required filings or other regulatory procedures in a timely manner,or at all.If we fail to fulfill filing procedure as stipulated by the Trial Measures o
316、r offer and list securities in an overseas market inviolation of the Trial Measures,the CSRC may order rectification,issue warnings to us,and impose a fine of betweenRMB1,000,000 and RMB10,000,000.Persons-in-charge and other persons that are directly liable for such failure shall bewarned and each i
