(“Cantor Fitzgerald”) as its exclusive financial advisor with respect to the divestment of the Company’s ownership in Holu Hou Energy, LLC (“HHE”), a fast-growing solar energy and storage provider with unique solutions in energy sharing for the multi-dwelling residential market.

HHE’s unique and proprietary solar energy storage system harnesses the power from solar panels, stores that energy, and has the capability to share it among multiple residential or commercial units thus providing a new level of resilience to homeowners, apartment owners, and businesses, providing energy security in uncertain and unstable times. HHE has signed multiple contracts with customers in Hawaii for the deployment of HHE’s solar energy plus storage system and EnergyShare technology for Multi-Dwelling Residential Units such as the recently announced Lendlease Island Palm Communities in Honolulu for large military personnel housing communities. Installations for these projects are to begin this summer. As previously disclosed, Borqs is mandated by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”) to divest its interests in HHE due to risks to national security arising as a result of Borqs’s investment in HHE. www.holuhou.com

“We are extremely pleased to have Cantor Fitzgerald taking on our divestment project”, said Pat Chan, the CEO of Borqs, “The acceptance from both the residential and commercial customers, evidenced by the signed contracts of HHE, has proven the importance and economics that HHE’s clean energy solutions can bring. With Cantor Fitzgerald’s seasoned team in the solar industry, I am confident that our interests in HHE will find the right buyer at the right price.”
