Corporate Governance

Our current corporate governance practices and policies are designed to promote shareholder value and we are committed to the highest standards of corporate ethics and diligent compliance with financial accounting and reporting rules. Our Board provides independent leadership in the exercise of its responsibilities. Our management oversees a system of internal controls and compliance with corporate policies and applicable laws and regulations, and our employees operate in a climate of responsibility, candor and integrity.

Corporate Governance Guidelines

We and our Board are committed to high standards of corporate governance as an important component in building and maintaining shareholder value. To this end, we regularly review our corporate governance policies and practices to ensure that they are consistent with the high standards of other companies. We also closely monitor guidance issued or proposed by the SEC and the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as the emerging best practices of other companies. The current corporate governance guidelines are available on the Company’s website www.ideanomics.com. Printed copies of our corporate governance guidelines may be obtained, without charge, by contacting our Corporate Secretary at 1441 Broadway, Suite 5116, New York, NY 10018.

The Board and Committees of the Board

The Company is governed by the Board that currently consists of four members: Shane McMahon, Alfred Poor, James S. Cassano, and Andrea Hayward. The Board has established three Committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee. Each of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Governance Committee are comprised entirely of independent directors. From time to time, the Board may establish other committees. The Board has adopted a written charter for each of the Committees which are available on the Company’s website www.ideanomics.com. Printed copies of these charters may be obtained, without charge, by contacting our Corporate Secretary at 1441 Broadway, Suite 5116, New York, NY 10018.

Governance Structure

Our Board of Directors is responsible for corporate governance in compliance with reporting laws and for representing the interests of our shareholders. As of the date of this Annual report, the Board was composed of five members, four of whom are considered independent, non-executive directors. Details on Board membership, oversight and activity are reported below.

We encourage our shareholders to learn more about our Company’s governance practices at our website, www.ideanomics.com.

The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

The Board oversees that the assets of the Company are properly safeguarded, that the appropriate financial and other controls are maintained, and that the Company’s business is conducted wisely and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations and proper governance. Included in these responsibilities is the Board of Directors’ oversight of

the various risks facing the Company. In this regard, the Board seeks to understand and oversee critical business risks. The Board does not view risk in isolation. Risks are considered in virtually every business decision and as part of the Company’s business strategy. The Board recognizes that it is neither possible nor prudent to eliminate all risk. Indeed, purposeful and appropriate risk-taking is essential for the Company to be competitive on a global basis and to achieve its objectives.

While the Board oversees risk management, Company management is charged with managing risk. The Company has robust internal processes and a strong internal control environment to identify and manage risks and to communicate with the Board. The Board and the Audit Committee monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the internal controls and the risk management program at least annually. Management communicates routinely with the Board, Board committees and individual directors on the significant risks identified and how they are being managed. Directors are free to, and indeed often do, communicate directly with senior management.

The Board implements its risk oversight function both as a whole and through Committees. Much of the work is delegated to various Committees, which meet regularly and report back to the full Board. All Committees play significant roles in carrying out the risk oversight function. In particular:

•The Audit Committee oversees risks related to the Company’s financial statements, the financial reporting process, accounting and legal matters. The Audit Committee members meet separately with representatives of the independent auditing firm.

•The Compensation Committee evaluates the risks and rewards associated with the Company’s compensation philosophy and programs. The Compensation Committee reviews and approves compensation programs with features that mitigate risk without diminishing the incentive nature of the compensation. Management discusses with the Compensation Committee the procedures that have been put in place to identify and mitigate potential risks in compensation.

Independent Directors

In considering and making decisions as to the independence of each of the directors of the Company, the Board considered transactions and relationships between the Company (and its subsidiaries) and each director (and each member of such director’s immediate family and any entity with which the director or family member has an affiliation such that the director or family member may have a material direct or indirect interest in a transaction or relationship with such entity). The Board has determined that James S. Cassano, Shane McMahon, and Andrea Hayward are independent as defined in applicable SEC and NASDAQ rules and regulations, and that each constitutes an “Independent Director” as defined in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605.

Audit Committee

Our Audit Committee consists of James S. Cassano and Andrea Hayward with Mr. Cassano acting as Chair. The Audit Committee oversees our accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of the financial statements of our company. Mr. Cassano serves as our Audit Committee financial experts as that term is defined by the applicable SEC rules. The Audit Committee is responsible for, among other things:

•selecting our independent auditors and pre-approving all auditing and non-auditing services permitted to be performed by our independent auditors;

•reviewing with our independent auditors any audit problems or difficulties and management’s response;

•reviewing and approving all proposed related-party transactions, as defined in Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended;

•discussing the annual audited financial statements with management and our independent auditors;

•reviewing major issues as to the adequacy of our internal controls and any special audit steps adopted in light of significant internal control deficiencies;

•annually reviewing and reassessing the adequacy of our Audit Committee charter;

•overseeing the work of our independent auditor, including resolution of disagreements between management and the independent auditor regarding financial reporting;

•reporting regularly to and reviewing with the full Board any issues that arise with respect to the quality or integrity of the Company’s financial statements, the performance and independence of the independent auditors and any other matters that the Audit Committee deems appropriate or is requested to review for the benefit of the Board.

The Audit Committee may engage independent counsel and such other advisors it deems necessary to carry out its responsibilities and powers, and, if such counsel or other advisors are engaged, shall determine the compensation or fees payable to such counsel or other advisors. The Audit Committee may form and delegate authority to

subcommittees consisting of one or more of its members as the Audit Committee deems appropriate to carry out its responsibilities and exercise its powers.

Compensation Committee

Our Compensation Committee consists of James S. Cassano and Andrea Hayward with Mr. Cassano acting as Chair. Our Compensation Committee assists the Board in reviewing and approving the compensation structure of our directors and executive officers, including all forms of compensation to be provided to our directors and executive officers. The Compensation Committee is responsible for, among other things:

•reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of our chief executive officer, evaluating the performance of our chief executive officer in light of those goals and objectives, and setting the compensation level of our chief executive officer based on this evaluation;

•reviewing and making recommendations to the Board with regard to the compensation of other executive officers;

•reviewing and making recommendations to the Board with respect to the compensation of our directors; and

•reviewing and making recommendations to the Board regarding all incentive-based compensation plans and equity-based plans.

The Compensation Committee has sole authority to retain and terminate any consulting firm or other outside advisor to assist the committee in the evaluation of director, chief executive officer or senior executive compensation and other compensation-related matters, including sole authority to approve the firms’ fees and other retention terms. The Compensation Committee may also form and delegate authority to subcommittees consisting of one or more members of the Compensation Committee.

Governance and Nominating Committee

Our Governance and Nominating Committee consists of Andrea Hayward and James S. Cassano with Andrea Hayward acting as Chair. The Governance and Nominating Committee assists the Board of Directors in identifying individuals qualified to become our directors and in determining the composition of the Board and its committees. The Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for, among other things:

•identifying and recommending to the Board nominees for election or re-election to the Board, or for appointment to fill any vacancy;

•selecting directors for appointment to committees of the Board; and

•overseeing annual evaluation of the Board and its committees for the prior fiscal year.

The Governance and Nominating Committee has sole authority to retain and terminate any search firm that is to be used by the Company to assist in identifying director candidates, including sole authority to approve the firms’ fees and other retention terms. The Governance and Nominating Committee may also form and delegate authority to subcommittees consisting of one or more members of the Governance and Nominating Committee.

Director Qualifications

Directors are responsible for overseeing the Company’s business consistent with their fiduciary duty to shareholders. This significant responsibility requires highly-skilled individuals with various qualities, attributes and professional experience. The Board believes that there are general requirements for service on the Company’s Board of Directors that are applicable to all directors and that there are other skills and experience that should be represented on the Board as a whole but not necessarily by each director. The Board and the Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board consider the qualifications of directors and director candidates individually and in the broader context of the Board’s overall composition and the Company’s current and future needs.

Qualifications for All Directors

In its assessment of each potential director candidate, including those recommended by shareholders, the Governance and Nominating Committee considers the nominee’s judgment, integrity, experience, independence, understanding of the Company’s business or other related industries and such other factors the Governance and Nominating Committee determines are pertinent in light of the current needs of the Board. The Governance and Nominating Committee also takes into account the ability of a director to devote the time and effort necessary to fulfill his or her responsibilities to the Company.

The Board and the Governance and Nominating Committee require that each director be a recognized person of high integrity with a proven record of success in his or her field. Each director must demonstrate innovative thinking, familiarity with and respect for corporate governance requirements and practices, an appreciation of multiple

cultures and a commitment to sustainability and to dealing responsibly with social issues. In addition to the qualifications required of all directors, the Board assesses intangible qualities including the individual’s ability to ask difficult questions and, simultaneously, to work collegially.

The Board does not have a specific diversity policy, but considers diversity of race, ethnicity, gender, age, cultural background and professional experiences in evaluating candidates for Board membership. Diversity is important because a variety of points of view contribute to a more effective decision-making process.

Qualifications, Attributes, Skills and Experience to be represented on the Board as a Whole

The Board has identified particular qualifications, attributes, skills and experience that are important to be represented on the Board as a whole, in light of the Company’s current needs and business priorities. The Company’s services are performed in areas of future growth located outside of the United States. Accordingly, the Board believes that international experience or specific knowledge of key geographic growth areas and diversity of professional experiences should be represented on the Board. In addition, the Company’s business is multifaceted and involves complex financial transactions. Therefore, the Board believes that the Board should include some directors with a high level of financial literacy and some directors who possess relevant business experience as a Chief Executive Officer or President. Our business involves complex technologies in a highly specialized industry. Therefore, the Board believes that extensive knowledge of the Company’s business and industry should be represented on the Board.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Compensation Philosophy

The primary goals of our Board with respect to executive compensation are to attract and retain talented and dedicated executives, to tie annual and long-term cash and stock incentives to the achievement of specified performance objectives, and to create incentives resulting in increased stockholder value. To achieve these goals, our Compensation Committee recommends to our Board, executive compensation packages, generally comprising a mix of salary, discretionary bonus and equity awards. Although we have not adopted any formal guidelines for allocating total compensation between equity compensation and cash compensation, we have implemented and maintain compensation plans that tie a substantial portion of our executives’ overall compensation to the achievement of corporate goals.

Compensation Committee Judgment and Discretion

The Compensation Committee, consisting entirely of independent directors, reviews and approves the compensation of our Named Executive Officers, or NEOs, and makes recommendations regarding equity awards to our Board, which acts as the administrator for our equity compensation plans.

The Compensation Committee’s executive compensation determinations are subjective and the result of the Compensation Committee’s business judgment, which is informed by the experience of its members and input provided by market surveys, its independent compensation consultant, our Chief Executive Officer (other than with respect to his own compensation), other members of management, and investors.

The Compensation Committee regularly evaluates our executive compensation program to determine if changes are appropriate. In so doing, the Compensation Committee may consult with its independent compensation consultant and management; however, the Compensation Committee makes final decisions regarding the compensation paid to our NEOs based on its own judgment. The Compensation Committee may consider factors such as individual performance, company performance, market conditions, financial goals, retention and stockholder interests in determining compensation.

The Role of the Compensation Consultant

The Compensation Committee selects and retains the services of an independent compensation consultant. The independent compensation consultant is independent and that the work that it performed in 2021 did not raise any conflicts of interest. During 2021, the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant, Metin Aksoy at Frederic W. Cook Executive Compensation Consultants, provided no services to us other than services for the Compensation Committee and worked with our management only on matters for which the Compensation Committee is responsible. The Compensation Committee did not retain a compensation consultant in 2022.

The Role of Executives in Executive Compensation Decisions

The Board and our Compensation Committee generally seek input from our Chief Executive Officer, Alfred P. Poor, when discussing the performance of, and compensation levels for, executives other than himself. In 2021, the Compensation Committee also worked with Conor McCarthy, our then Chief Financial Officer, and currently, Scott Morrison, our Chief Financial Officer, to evaluate the financial, accounting, tax and retention implications of our various compensation programs. Neither Mr. Poor, who is also our director, nor Messrs. McCarthy or Morrison participated in deliberations relating to their own compensation.

The Role of Investors

Stockholders are provided the opportunity to cast an advisory vote (“Say-On-Pay”) on the compensation of our NEOs. In our most recent Say-On-Pay vote, conducted at our 2022 annual meeting of stockholders, held on November 25, 2022, our stockholders approved the compensation of our named executive officers on an advisory basis, with approximately 83% of the votes cast in favor of the fiscal 2021 compensation of our named executive officers. In setting fiscal 2023 compensation, we will consider the outcome of the Say-on-Pay Vote during our 2022 annual meeting of stockholders and will continue to consider the outcome of future Say-on-Pay Votes, as well as stockholder feedback received throughout the year, when making compensation decisions for our executive officers. In addition to the Say on Pay vote, the investors were also provided an opportunity to vote on the frequency at which such Say on Pay votes would be held (“Say On Frequency” votes). At the November annual meeting, the majority

(56%) of investors voted for the Say on Frequency votes to occur every three years, with a minority (38%) voting for every year, followed by biannually and those abstaining. We also have ongoing discussions with many of our investors regarding various corporate governance topics, including environment, social and governance topics and executive compensation. The Compensation Committee also considers these discussions while reviewing our executive compensation program.

The Role of Peer Companies

In 2021, the Compensation Committee reviewed a survey of peer group companies’ total standard compensation components for certain executives, including the named executive officers, as provided by our compensation consultant. The peer group was based on market segment, market capitalization of less than $5 Billion, and trailing four quarters revenue of less than $1 Billion. It included companies from Automotive, Renewable Energy; and Fintech. The companies considered were:

Bloom Energy Corporation

Workhorse Group Inc.

Veritone, Inc.

Cerence Inc

Blink Charging Co.

Arcimoto, Inc.

FuelCell Energy, Inc

Gevo, Inc.

CleanSpark, Inc.

Clean Energy Fuels Corp.

CEVA, Inc.

Electrameccanica Vehicles Corp.

PROS Holdings, Inc.

Stoneridge, Inc.

Allied Motion Technologies Inc.

In general, these companies operate in similar industries and many have similar cost structures, business models (subject to the relevant market segment) and global reach. We also considered the following companies in Charging & Energy; EV Components; Vehicle OEM; and CleanTech as additional peers.

ChargePoint

Romeo Power

Hyliion

PG & E

Ayro.

QuantumScape

ABM Industries

Canoo

XL Fleet

Beam Global

Tesla

Plug Power

Lordstown Motors

Polar Power

First Solar

Navistar

Enphase Energy

The Compensation Committee considers compensation data from the peer companies to the extent the executive positions at these companies are considered comparable to our positions and informative of the competitive environment. Compensation data for our peer group were collected from available proxy-disclosed data. This information was gathered and analyzed for low, medium and high ratings for annual base salary, short-term incentive pay elements and long-term incentive pay elements.

The survey determined that the NEOs as a whole were positioned at the medium to high end of the peer group in terms of cash compensation, but in the very low end of the peer group in terms of total standard compensation and opportunities.

The Compensation Committee considers peer group data provided by its independent compensation consultant to inform its decision-making process so it can set total compensation levels that it believes are commensurate with the relative size, scope, and success of Ideanomics.

Elements of Compensation

We evaluate individual executive performance with a goal of setting compensation at levels the Compensation Committee believes are comparable with executives in other companies of similar size and stage of development while taking into account our relative performance and our own strategic goals. The compensation received by our named executive officers consists of the following elements:

Base Salary

Base salaries for our executives are established based on the scope of their responsibilities and individual experience, taking into account competitive market compensation paid by other companies for similar positions within our industry. The Compensation Committee considers compensation data from the peer companies to the extent the executive positions at these companies are considered comparable to our positions and informative of the competitive environment.

Variable Pay

We design our variable pay programs to be both affordable and competitive in relation to the market. We monitor the market and adjust our variable pay programs as needed. Our variable pay programs, such as our bonus program, are designed to motivate employees to achieve overall goals. Our programs are designed to avoid entitlements, to align actual payouts with the actual results achieved, and to be easy to understand and administer.

Equity-Based Incentives

Salaries and bonuses are intended to compensate our executive officers for short-term performance. We also have adopted an equity incentive program intended to reward longer-term performance and to help align the interests of our NEOs with those of our stockholders. We believe that long-term performance is achieved through an ownership culture that rewards performance by our NEOs through the use of equity incentives. Our 2010 equity incentive plan has been established to provide our employees, including our NEOs, with incentives to help align those employees’ interests with the interests of our stockholders.

When making equity-award decisions, the Compensation Committee considers market data, the grant size, the forms of long-term equity compensation available to it under our existing plans and the status of previously granted awards. The amount of equity incentive compensation granted reflects the executives’ expected contributions to our future success. Existing ownership levels are not a factor in award determination, as the Compensation Committee does not want to discourage executives from holding significant amounts of our stock.

Future equity awards that we make to our named executive officers will be driven by our sustained performance over time, our NEOs’ ability to impact our results that drive stockholder value, their level of responsibility, their potential to fill roles of increasing responsibility, and competitive equity award levels for similar positions in comparable companies. Equity forms a key part of the overall compensation for each executive officer and is evaluated each year as part of the annual performance review process and incentive payout calculation.

The amounts awarded to the NEOs are based on the Compensation Committee’s subjective determination of what is appropriate to incentivize the executives. The grants to named executive officers vest over a two-year period with monthly ratable vesting on each anniversary of the grant date. All equity awards to our employees, including NEOs, and to directors have been granted and reflected in our financial statements, based upon the applicable accounting guidance, with the exercise price equal to the fair market value of one share of common stock on the grant date.

In order to encourage a long-term perspective and to encourage key employees to remain with us, our stock options typically have monthly ratable vesting over a two-year period. Generally, vesting ends upon termination of services and exercise rights of vested options cease three months after termination of services. Prior to the exercise of an option, the holder has no rights as a stockholder with respect to the shares subject to such option, including voting rights and the right to receive dividends or dividend equivalents.

Benefits Programs

We design our benefits programs to be both affordable and competitive in relation to the market while conforming to local laws and practices. We monitor the market and local laws and practices and adjust our benefits programs as needed. We design our benefits programs to provide an element of core benefits and, to the extent possible, offer options for additional benefits, be tax-effective for employees in any foreign country and balance costs and cost-sharing between our employees and us.

Timing of Equity Awards

Only the Compensation Committee may approve restricted stock or stock option grants to our executive officers. Shares of restricted stock and stock options are generally granted at meetings of the Compensation Committee or pursuant to a unanimous written consent of the Compensation Committee. The exercise price of a newly granted option is the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant.

Treatment of Options for Executives Upon Termination

Options are granted generally at regularly scheduled board meetings during the fiscal year. All options vest pro-rata over the enumerated period depending on the date of hire or relevant employment contract. Upon termination of employment, options cease to vest for executives unless otherwise negotiated under the terms of a severance agreement.

Options to purchase 9,377,000 shares of common stock were granted under the equity incentive program in fiscal year 2021, after which 17,350,746 shares remained available for granting. At the 2022 annual meeting, our stockholders voted (77%) to increase the number of shares available under the 2010 Stock Option Plan to 120,000,000.

Executive Equity Ownership

We encourage our executives to hold a significant equity interest in our company. However, we do not have specific share retention and ownership guidelines for our executives.

2022 Named Executive Officer Compensation

Our executive compensation program is designed to motivate and reward performance in a straightforward and effective way, while recognizing our philosophy, management style and targeted returns. The compensation of our named executive officers has three primary components: (i) annual base salary, (ii) annual cash incentive and (iii) long-term equity awards in the form of performance-based options.

2022 Annual Base Salary

Base salary is a customary, fixed element of compensation intended to attract and retain executives. Weighing the factors listed above, the Compensation Committee recommended that, effective January 1, 2022, the base salaries of Messrs. Poor, McCarthy and Sklar should be $800,000, $525,000, and $475,000 per year, respectively. No executive officer received a salary increase in 2022.

2022 Annual Incentives.

Our annual cash incentive program is a variable, at-risk component of our named executive officers’ compensation that is based on an appraisal of performance using specific metrics. For fiscal year 2022, our annual incentives were based on the contributions of named executive officers to the aggregation of capital necessary for the company’s growth, the magnitude of which capital raise was in excess of $500M during the relevant term.

Summary Compensation Table (2022 and 2021)

The following table sets forth information concerning all cash and non-cash compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to the named persons (our “named executive officers”) for services rendered in all capacities during the noted periods.

CEO Pay Ratio

In accordance with Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Act and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the annual total compensation of our employees and the annual total compensation of our CEO.

•The median of the annual total compensation of our employees (other than our CEO) was $81,041 in 2022.

•The total annual compensation of our CEO, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table, was $850,000 in 2022.

•Based on the foregoing, the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO and the median of the annual total compensation of our employees was 10 to 1.

We believe this pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K. The SEC rules for identifying the median compensated employee and calculating the pay ratio allows companies to apply various methodologies and apply various assumptions and, as a result, the pay ratio we report may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported by other companies.

Identifying the Median Employee

We used December 31, 2022 as the date to determine our workforce for purposes of determining the median compensated employee. As of December 31, 2022, our workforce consisted of approximately 564 employees, with 391 employees (69%) based in the U.S. and 173 employees (31%) based in jurisdictions outside the U.S.

To determine median employee compensation, we utilized the amount reported in Box 5 on Form W-2 Wage and Tax Statement for each U.S. employee on the Company’s payroll as of December 31, 2022 and by annualized data provided to us by our international subsidiaries. We captured all full-time and part-time employees employed by us on December 31, 2022. We annualized compensation for permanent full-time and part-time employees who were not employed by us for all of 2022. We believe that Form W-2 compensation is a consistently applied compensation measure because it is readily available and represents a reasonable measure of total annual compensation in the US and annualized compensation provides similar certainty outside the US.

Determining Annual Total Compensation

We determined annual total compensation for our median compensated employee by obtaining compensation data for this employee consistent with the methodology we use to calculate total compensation as it appears in the Summary Compensation Table. We determined annual total compensation for our CEO using the amount reported in the Summary Compensation Table.

Compensation of Directors

The following table sets forth certain information concerning the compensation paid to our directors for services rendered to us during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. Ms. Andrea Hayward was appointed as independent director on May 15, 2023.

Harry Edelson(2)	213,752	—	—	—	—		213,752

(1) Mr. Cassano received a $150,000 bonus for his assistance with the completion of the audit investigation.

(2) Mr. Edelson resigned as an independent director of the Company on October 31, 2022. Prior to his resignation, he received a bonus for tax equalization of $120,000.

Compensation Risk

The Compensation Committee has reviewed and evaluated the incentive compensation policies and practices that cover all employees. On the basis of that review, the Compensation Committee does not believe that its compensation policies and practices pose risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on Ideanomics.

We also note with respect to risk factors that none of our executive officers served on the compensation committee (or equivalent, or the board) of any other entity whose executive officers served on the company’s compensation committee. No executive officer served as a director of another entity whose executive officers served on the company’s compensation committee. No executive officer served as a member of the compensation committee or equivalent or the board absent compensation committee of another entity whose executive officers served as a company director.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.

The following table sets forth information known by us regarding the beneficial ownership of the Common Stock and Series A, Series B, and Series C Preferred Stock as of July 31, 2023, by:


			●			each person who is known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or Series A Preferred Stock;


			●			each of our current Named Executive Officers and directors; and


			●			all of our current executive officers and directors as a group.

Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security, including options and warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days.

The beneficial ownership percentages set forth in the table below are based on 1,408,452,888 shares of Common Stock and 7,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. There are 7,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding as of Aug 4, 2023. Unless otherwise noted, the address for each beneficial owner listed below is c/o Ideanomics, Inc., at 1441 Broadway, Suite 5116, New York, NY 10018.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Review and Approval of Related Party Transactions

We have adopted a written policy with respect to the review, approval and ratification of related person transactions. The Audit Committee has primary responsibility for reviewing all related party transactions involving the Company’s directors, officers and directors’ and officers’ immediate family members. The Board may determine to permit or prohibit the Related Party Transaction. For any ongoing relationships, the Board shall annually review and assess the relationships with the Related Party and whether the Related Party Transaction should continue.

Under the policy, a “related party transaction” means any transaction directly or indirectly involving any Related Party that would need to be disclosed under Item 404 of Regulation S-K.

For the purposes of this policy, a “Related Party” means (A) a director, including any director nominee, (B) an executive officer; (C) a person known by the Company to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Company’s common stock; or (D) a person known by the Company to be an immediate family member of any of the foregoing. “Immediate family member” means a child, stepchild, parent, stepparent, spouse, sibling, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law of such director, executive officer, nominee for director, or beneficial owner, and any person (other than a tenant or employee) sharing the household of such director, executive officer, nominee for director, or beneficial owner.

The following is a summary of transactions since the beginning of the 2018 fiscal year, or any currently proposed transaction, in which we were or are to be a participant and the amount involved exceeded or exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at year-end for the last two completed years, and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest (other than compensation described under “Executive Compensation”). We believe the terms obtained or consideration that we paid or received, as applicable, in connection with the transactions described below were comparable to terms available or the amounts that would be paid or received, as applicable, in arm’s-length transactions.
