Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Thunder Power Holdings, Inc. completed a share exchange with certain shareholders of Electric Power Technology Limited, issuing 31,872,768 unregistered, restricted common shares, equal to about 31.07% of its outstanding stock as of closing.

In return, the company received 26,783,838 ordinary shares of Electric Power Technology and became its holding company. Thunder Power will begin consolidating Electric Power Technology’s results in the first quarter of 2026, adding recurring clean‑energy revenue streams from Taiwan’s solar and renewable power markets and diversifying beyond electric vehicle development.

Positive

  • Strategic diversification and recurring revenue: Thunder Power becomes holding company of Electric Power Technology, gaining exposure to Taiwan’s renewable energy market and adding recurring solar and clean-energy revenue streams to complement its EV development focus.
  • Full consolidation of a listed renewables business: From the first quarter of 2026, Thunder Power will consolidate Electric Power Technology’s financials, potentially increasing scale and smoothing revenue volatility tied solely to EV development timelines.

Negative

  • Material equity dilution: Issuing 31,872,768 new common shares, representing about 31.07% of outstanding stock at closing, significantly dilutes existing shareholders’ ownership stakes.
  • Execution and financing risks: The company cites risks around integrating acquisitions, expanding solar and clean-energy projects, securing new financing and capital markets access, and ongoing legal proceedings involving its principal shareholder.

Insights

Thunder Power trades dilution for control of a recurring clean-energy business.

Thunder Power Holdings issued 31,872,768 new common shares, about 31.07% of its outstanding stock, to acquire 26,783,838 shares of Electric Power Technology. This is a sizeable all-stock deal that materially dilutes existing holders but brings a full operating business under Thunder Power’s control.

Electric Power Technology develops solar and other renewable projects in Taiwan, a market where solar represented 5% of electricity in 2024 and is expected to grow under government policy targets through 2035. Thunder Power will consolidate Electric Power Technology’s results from Q1 2026, adding recurring clean-energy revenue alongside its EV development activities.

The company highlights cost discipline and an expanded capital base, but also lists multiple risks, including integration of acquisitions, regulatory approvals, financing needs for planned growth, policy changes in Taiwan, and ongoing legal proceedings involving its principal shareholder. Future filings will show how much earnings contribution Electric Power Technology provides relative to the dilution from new Thunder Power shares.

Share Exchange Agreement financial
"pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, dated December 19, 2024, as amended"
A share exchange agreement is a legal deal where shareholders trade their shares in one company for shares in another, commonly used in mergers, acquisitions or corporate reorganizations. Think of it like swapping ownership cards in a game: the swap can change who controls the business, how many shares each person owns, and the value and liquidity of those holdings, so investors need to understand the exchange ratio, potential dilution and long-term impact on value and voting power.
restricted securities regulatory
"The Shares were issued as restricted securities for the purpose of the Securities Act"
Restricted securities are shares or other investment instruments that come with legal or contractual limits on when and how they can be sold, like stock given to founders or bought in a private offering. Think of them as assets in a locked box that can’t be freely traded until certain conditions — such as a waiting period, company registration, or specific approvals — are met. For investors this matters because restricted securities are less liquid and can affect timing, price, and perceived value when they eventually enter the market.
Regulation FD Disclosure regulatory
"Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure. On April 9, 2026, the Company issued a press release"
recurring revenue financial
"This strategic investment grants the Company direct access to recurring clean energy revenue streams"
Revenue that a company expects to receive on a regular, predictable basis from ongoing sources such as subscriptions, service contracts, or repeat customer purchases. It matters to investors because it provides steadier cash flow and makes future earnings easier to forecast—like a landlord collecting monthly rent instead of one-off sales—supporting higher valuations and lower risk when those payments are reliable and customers tend to stay.
forward-looking statements regulatory
"This press release contains certain statements that may include “forward-looking statements.”"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

Thunder Power Holdings, Inc. Announces Completion of Share Exchange with Electric Power Technology Limited

 

Strategic closing delivers recurring clean energy revenue streams, diversifies the Company’s revenue profile, and strengthens long-term growth amid disciplined cost management

 

Wilmington, DE — April 13, 2026 — Thunder Power Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: AIEV) (“Thunder Power” or the “Company”), a technology innovator and developer of premium passenger Electric Vehicles (EVs), today announced the successful completion of its share exchange transaction with certain shareholders of Electric Power Technology Limited (“Electric Power Technology” or “TW Company”), a Taiwan corporation listed on the Taipei Exchange under the code 4529. The closing follows the prior regulatory approval from the Ministry of Economic Affairs of Taiwan, which satisfied the core regulatory condition for the transaction.

 

Pursuant to the amended Share Exchange Agreement dated December 19, 2024, the Company has issued an aggregate of 31,872,768 shares of AIEV common stock to 6 eligible shareholders of Electric Power Technology, in exchange for a total of 26,783,838 ordinary shares of Electric Power Technology. The newly issued shares represent approximately 31.07% of the Company’s total issued and outstanding common stock, which stands at 102,597,432 shares as of the transaction closing date.

 

With the completion of this transaction, Thunder Power becomes the holding company of Electric Power Technology, a leading participant in Taiwan’s renewable energy sector with core operations in solar power generation and other clean energy projects. Thunder Power will start to do the consolidation of financial statements of the “TW Company” in the first quarter of 2026. On April 10, the TW company had successfully purchased one more solar energy company and its financial statements will consolidate into 2nd quarter of the “TW Company”. This strategic investment grants the Company direct access to recurring clean energy revenue streams in Taiwan’s high-growth renewables market, diversifies its revenue profile beyond EV development, and strengthens its capital base amid a focused cost-optimization period.

 

“Today marks a transformative and cost-efficient milestone for Thunder Power as we formally complete our strategic share exchange with Electric Power Technology,” said Christopher Nicoll, Chief Executive Officer of Thunder Power. “By finalizing this transaction with streamlined execution and disciplined cost management, we have successfully embedded ourselves in Taiwan’s high-growth solar and clean energy sector without unnecessary operational overhead. This ownership stake delivers immediate, recurring revenue diversification, aligns perfectly with our global EV and clean energy platform, and positions us to capitalize on Taiwan’s ambitious renewable energy goals through 2026 and beyond. We remain focused on lean operations, strategic partnerships, and sustainable growth as we advance our commercialization priorities.”

 

Electric Power Technology operates and develops renewable energy projects in Taiwan, including solar power generation assets, and is aligned with Taiwan’s policy goals to expand the contribution of renewable energy to the country’s power mix over the coming decade. While Taiwan did not meet its initial 2025 target to source 15% of electricity from renewables, the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Taiwan Energy Administration have extended the timeline, with the goal now expected to be achieved by November 2026 at the earliest. Solar remains a centerpiece of this strategy, projected to reach 35% of total installed generation capacity by 2035. With a meaningful ownership stake in Electric Power Technology, Thunder Power expects to have strategic access to high-growth clean-energy markets, potential opportunities for vertical integration, and the ability to collaborate on project development, engineering, procurement, and construction activities.

 

Solar generation in Taiwan represented 5% of the electricity market in 2024. Taiwan initially set a goal for 15% of the island’s electricity to come from renewable energy sources by 2025, but the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Taiwan Energy Administration have since pushed the expected achievement of this target to November 2026 at the earliest. The government continues to forecast substantial additional solar capacity growth through 2035.

 

Thunder Power will now prioritize the realization of operational and commercial synergies from this investment, while maintaining strict cost controls across its core EV development and clean energy operations. Thunder Power intends to provide additional updates as material business developments occur.
