Cenntro Inc., a Nevada Corporation (the "Company") and About Investment Pte. Ltd., a Singapore exempt private company limited by shares ("About Pte") have entered into certain exchange agreement dated October 23, 2025 (the "Exchange Agreement"), pursuant to which About Pte agreed to exchange the outstanding principal balance on a senior secured convertible note originally issued on July 20, 2022, assigned to About Pte and amended from time to time to extend the maturity date to January 19, 2026, as previously disclosed in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 21, 2025. In consideration for the exchange, About Pte received a new secured convertible promissory note issued on October 23, 2025, in the principal amount of $4,000,000, with an interest rate of 8% per annum and a maturity date of January 19, 2026 (the "Exchange Note"). Under the terms of the Exchange Note, in the event of default, interest shall accrue at the lesser of (i) 10% per annum or (ii) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. Upon cure of the default, the interest rate shall revert to the original rate of 8% per annum. Additionally, an event of default may, at the holder's election, trigger an acceleration of the note's maturity, in which case 110% of the then-outstanding principal amount, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, shall become immediately due and payable.

The foregoing descriptions of the Exchange Agreement and the Exchange Note are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the respective documents. Copies of the Exchange Agreement and the Exchange Note are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1 and 4.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

Not later than the earlier of (i) two Trading Days after each Conversion Date or (ii) the Standard Settlement Period (either, the "Share Delivery Date"), the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Holder any certificate or certificates required to be delivered by the Company under this Section 4(c) which shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions except as provided by the Securities Act and such shares shall be delivered electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions.

In the event the Holder of this Note shall elect to convert any or all of the outstanding principal amount hereof, the Company may not refuse conversion based on any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Note shall have been sought and obtained, and the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of the Holder. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to collect damages under this Note or under applicable law.

No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of this Note.

The issuance of Conversion Shares on conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Conversion and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Conversion Shares.

Subject to sufficient authorized shares, the Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Note, the number of shares as may be issuable upon the conversion of the then outstanding principal amount of this Note. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and, if a registration statement covering the resale of the Conversion Shares is then effective under the Securities Act, shall be registered for public resale in accordance with such registration statement.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) <u>Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Conversion Shares Upon Conversion</u>. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails for any reason (other than the failure of Holder's attorney to timely deliver any opinion required in connection with such conversion) to deliver to the Holder such Conversion Shares by the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section 4(c)(ii), and if after such Share Delivery Date the Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder's brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Conversion Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a "Buy-In"), then the Holder has the right to pursue any remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company's failure to timely deliver Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

<u>Section 5</u>. <u>Negative Covenants</u>.

All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Note and venue shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with Nevada Law.

Any waiver by the Company or the Holder of a breach of any provision of this Note shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Note.

The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach would be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any such breach or any such threatened breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. The Company shall provide all information and documentation to the Holder that is requested by the Holder to enable the Holder to confirm the Company's compliance with the terms and conditions of this Note.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) <u>Next Trading Day</u>. Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Trading Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Trading Day.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) <u>Headings</u>. The headings contained herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Note and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
