## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1**

**Cango Inc. Announces Definitive Agreement with Founders and EWCL**

HONG KONG, June 2, 2025 -- Cango Inc. (NYSE: CANG) ("Cango" or the "Company") today announced that the Company's co-founders, Mr. Xiaojun Zhang and Mr. Jiayuan Lin (collectively, the "Founders") and their holding companies (the "Sellers") have entered into a securities purchase agreement (the "Agreement") with Enduring Wealth Capital Limited, a company established in the British Virgin Islands ("EWCL"), pursuant to which the Sellers will sell an aggregate of 10,000,000 Class B ordinary shares of the Company to EWCL for a total purchase price of US$70 million (of which US$15 million will be payable only upon the satisfaction of certain conditions) (the "Resale Transaction"). The Company is a party to the Agreement and agreed to undertake certain corporate actions in connection with the Resale Transaction.

As previously announced by the Company, EWCL sent a preliminary non-binding letter of intent (the "Letter of Intent") to the board of directors (the "Board") of the Company on March 14, 2025 proposing a series of transactions and changes at the Company. The Company disposed all of its business in the PRC on May 27, 2025. The Agreement announced today finalized the terms of the remaining transactions and changes contemplated by the Letter of Intent.

Pursuant to the Agreement, in connection with the Resale Transaction, the Company will take necessary corporate actions to ensure that the shares of the Company to be acquired by EWCL from the Sellers will continue to be Class B ordinary shares which are entitled to 20 votes per share, and the Founders will voluntarily convert all of the remaining Class B ordinary shares held by them and their holding companies into Class A ordinary shares of the Company with one vote per share. In addition, the Board and management team of the Company will be restructured in such manner as requested by EWCL conditional upon and effective immediately after closing of the Resale Transaction. If the Company's acquisitions of on-rack crypto mining machines with an aggregate hashrate of 18 Exahash per second through issuance of Class A ordinary shares as previously announced by the Company (the "Share-Settled Transactions") are not consummated, EWCL will hold approximately 4.81% of the Company's total outstanding shares and 50.28% of the total voting power of the outstanding shares of the Company, and the Founders collectively will hold 31.63% of the Company's total outstanding shares and 16.52% of the total voting power of the outstanding shares of the Company immediately after the consummation of the transactions and changes contemplated by the Agreement (the "Proposed Transactions"). If the Share-Settled Transactions are consummated pursuant to the on-rack sales and purchase agreement dated November 6, 2024 (the "November 2024 Purchase Agreement"), EWCL will hold approximately 2.83% of the Company's total outstanding shares and 36.81% of the total voting power of the outstanding shares of the Company, and the Founders collectively will hold 18.59% of the Company's total outstanding shares and 12.09% of the total voting power of the outstanding shares of the Company immediately after the consummated of the Proposed Transactions. As announced on April 3, 2025, the Company expects further amendments to the November 2024 Purchase Agreement; therefore, the abovementioned shareholding and voting power percentages after giving effect to the consummation of the Share-Settled Transactions are subject to further changes.

The Company's execution of the Agreement was approved by the Company's audit committee and the Board. As contemplated by the Agreement, the Company is required to obtain shareholders' approval of the corporate actions that the Company will need to take to ensure that the shares to be acquired by EWCL from the Sellers will continue to be Class B ordinary shares with 20 votes per share and to perform the Company's other obligations under the Agreement, among others. The Company expects to convene an extraordinary shareholders meeting to seek such shareholders' approval as soon as practicable.

Closing of the Proposed Transactions is subject to various closing conditions including, among others, the shareholders' approval mentioned above. There can be no assurance that all the closing conditions will be satisfied or that the Proposed Transactions will be approved or consummated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Unless otherwise agreed by the Sellers and the Purchaser, all actions at Closing are inter-dependent and will be deemed to take place simultaneously and no delivery, conversion, issuance, reclassification or payment will be deemed to have been made until all deliveries, conversions, issuances, reclassifications and payments under this Agreement due to be made at the Closing have been made, except that the Reclassification shall be deemed to occur immediately after the transfer of all the Sale Securities and their Automatic Conversion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.3 Holdback Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Holdback Amount of such Seller shall be withheld from the Purchase Price of such Seller by the Purchaser. Within ten (10) Business Days from the date of the earliest occurrence of any of the following (each, a "<u>Payment Event</u>"), the Purchaser shall pay the Holdback Amount of such Seller to the account of such Seller as set forth in <u>Schedule A</u> hereto:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the relevant Governmental Authority confirms to the Company in writing that the Termination Report has been approved (to the extent the status of the Termination Report in China Securities Regulatory Commission's online filing system is shown as "confirmed", that shall be deemed written approval by the relevant Governmental Authority), the China Concept Stock status of the Company has been terminated, or the relevant Governmental Authority has no further comment or question relating to the Termination Report;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) no oral or written feedback or inquiries with respect to the Termination Report have been received from any relevant Governmental Authority within the four (4) months after the filing date of the Termination Report; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) to the extent any oral or written inquiries or feedback have been received from any relevant Governmental Authority within such four (4)-month period referenced in sub-clause (b) above, as of the date that is four (4) months after the date of the Issuer's last submission of written responses as requested by such relevant Governmental Authority responding to such inquiries and feedback (or, if no such written responses have been requested to be submitted, as of the date that is four (4) months after the date of the filing date of the Termination Report), all outstanding inquiries or feedback from such relevant Governmental Authority have been responded to.

Except for the suspension of the Purchaser's obligation to pay the Holdback Amount on the conditions as provided above, the Purchaser shall not be entitled to terminate, rescind, unwind or otherwise cancel any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement nor have any other right or claim against any of the Seller Parties if, at any time after the Closing, any relevant Governmental Authority provides any feedback or makes any inquiries with respect to the Termination Report or informs the Issuer that the China Concept Stock (中概股) status of the Issuer has not and will not be terminated; provided that, the Purchaser's obligation to pay any Holdback Amount shall be suspended if and only if, prior to the occurrence of any Payment Event, the relevant Government Authority expressly rejects, objects to, or otherwise explicitly indicates in writing that it will not accept the Termination Report; provided further that, the Purchaser's obligation to pay the Holdback Amount shall be automatically re-instated if such rejection, objection or indication is subsequently expressly revoked by the relevant Governmental Authority (whether in writing or in any other manners, and in any case the Issuer shall provide reasonable evidence of such express revocation to the extent practicable), and such express revocation by the relevant Governmental Authority shall constitute a Payment Event. For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser shall be and only be obligated to pay the Holdback Amount if a Payment Event occurs.

2. <u>PURCHASER'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES</u> 

The Purchaser makes the following representations and warranties to each Seller and the Issuer as of the date hereof and the Closing Date (or if a specific date is indicated in any such statement, as of such specified date):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Each Party shall, and shall direct its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives to, keep confidential any Confidential Information; <u>provided</u> that the Confidential Information shall not include information that (i) was or becomes available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by such Party, any of its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives in violation of this Section 7.10; (ii) was or becomes available to such Party, any of its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives from a source other than the other Party, the Issuer or their respective Representatives; <u>provided</u> that such source is believed by such Party not to be disclosing such information in violation of an obligation of confidentiality (whether by agreement or otherwise) to the other Party or the Issuer; (iii) at the time of disclosure is already in the possession of such Party, any of its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives; <u>provided</u> that such information is believed by such Party not to be subject to an obligation of confidentiality (whether by agreement or otherwise) to the other Party or the Issuer; or (iv) was independently developed by such Party, any of its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives without reference to, incorporation of, or other use of any Confidential Information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each Party agrees, on behalf of itself and its and their respective Representatives, that Confidential Information may be disclosed solely: (i) to such Party's Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives on a need-to-know basis, and (ii) in the event that such Party, any of its Affiliates or any of its or their respective Representatives are requested or required by applicable Law, Order, stock exchange rule or other applicable judicial or governmental process (including by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, in each of which instances such Party, its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives, as the case may be, shall, to the extent legally permissible, provide the other Party with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on (and consider such proposed comments in good faith) any proposed disclosure language.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.11 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic and legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.12 Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.13 Governing Law. This Agreement, including its arbitration clause, will be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of Hong Kong without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.14 Dispute Resolution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Any dispute, actions and proceedings against any Party arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement, including any question regarding any non-contractual obligation arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, shall be submitted to the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre ("<u>HKIAC</u>") and resolved in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of HKIAC in force when the request for arbitration is submitted (the "<u>Rules</u>"). The Rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Section 7.14(a). The seat of arbitration and the place of arbitration shall be Hong Kong. The official language of the arbitration shall be English and the tribunal shall consist of three (3) arbitrators (each, an "<u>Arbitrator</u>"). The claimant shall nominate one (1) Arbitrator; the respondent shall nominate one (1) Arbitrator; and a third (3rd) Arbitrator will be nominated jointly by the first two (2) Arbitrators and shall serve as chairman of the arbitration tribunal. In the event the claimant(s) or respondent(s) or the first two (2) Arbitrators shall fail to nominate or agree the joint nomination of an Arbitrator or the third (3rd) Arbitrator within the time limits specified by the Rules, such Arbitrator shall be appointed promptly by the HKIAC. The arbitration tribunal shall have no authority to award punitive or other punitive-type damages. The award of the arbitration tribunal shall be final and binding upon the disputing parties from the day it is made. Any party to an award may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for enforcement of such award and, for purposes of the enforcement of such award, the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction and waive any defenses to such enforcement based on lack of personal jurisdiction or inconvenient forum.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties hereby consent to and agree that in addition to any recourse to arbitration as set out in Section 7.14(a), any Party may, to the extent permitted under the Rules, seek an interim injunction or other form of relief from the HKIAC as provided for in the Rules. Nothing in this Section 7.14 shall be construed as preventing either Party from seeking interim or interlocutory relief in aid of any arbitration or in connection with enforcement proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Parties hereto agree that the obligations imposed on them in this Agreement are special, unique and of an extraordinary character and irreparable damage would occur if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, each Party to this Agreement (i) shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the forum described in this Section 7.14, without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity, and (ii) hereby waives any requirement for the posting of any bond or similar collateral in connection therewith. Each Party hereto agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that (i) the other Party has an adequate remedy at law or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.15 Notices.

There are no third party beneficiaries of this Agreement (unless otherwise specified herein) and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer on any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors, heirs and permitted assigns. Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Ordinance (Chapter 623 of the Laws of Hong Kong) shall not apply to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.18 Section and Other Headings; No Strict Construction.
