	Party  A:	 NIO Co., Ltd. 

	Address:	 Room 115, No. 569 Anchi Road, Anting Town, Jiading District, Shanghai 

 

	Party  B:	 Bin LI (a Chinese citizen with Identification No.: ********) 

 

	Party  C:	 Shanghai Anbin Technology Co., Ltd. 

	Address:	 Room J1289, Floor 4, No.5358, Huyi Road, Jiading District, Shanghai 

In this Agreement, each of Party A, Party B and Party C shall be hereinafter referred to as a “Party” individually, and as the
“Parties” collectively. 
 Whereas: 
  

	1.	 Party B is the shareholder of Party C and as of the date hereof hold 80% of the equity interests of Party C,
representing RMB 24,000,000 in the registered capital of Party C. 

  

	2.	 Party A and Party B executed a Loan Agreement (“Loan Agreement”) on April 19, 2018, according to
which Party A agreed to provide to Party B a loan in the amount of RMB 24,000,000 for the purpose as designated in the Loan Agreement. 

Now therefore, upon mutual discussion and negotiation, the Parties have reached the following agreement: 

 

	1.	 Sale and Purchase of Equity Interest 

 

	 	1.1	 Option Granted 

Party B hereby irrevocably and unconditionally grants Party A an irrevocable and exclusive right to purchase, or designate one or more persons
(each, a “Designee”) to purchase the equity interests in Party C then held by Party B once or at multiple times at any time in part or in whole at Party A’s sole and absolute discretion to the extent permitted by Chinese laws and at
the price described in Section 1.3 herein (such right being the “Equity Interest Purchase Option”). Except for Party A and the Designee(s), no other person shall be entitled to the Equity Interest Purchase Option or other rights with
respect to the equity interests of Party B. Party C hereby agrees to the grant by Party B of the Equity Interest Purchase Option to Party A. The term “person” as used herein shall refer to individuals, corporations, partnerships, partners,
enterprises, trusts or non-corporate organizations.

Strictly Confidential 

	 	1.2	 Steps for Exercise of the Equity Interest Purchase Option  

Subject to the provisions of the laws and regulations of China, Party A may exercise the Equity Interest Purchase Option by issuing a written
notice to Party B (the “Equity Interest Purchase Option Notice”), specifying:(a) Party A’s decision to exercise the Equity Interest Purchase Option, and the name of the Designee(s) if any; (b) the portion of equity interests to
be purchased by Party A or the Designee from Party B (the “Optioned Interests”); and (c) the date for purchasing the Optioned Interests or the date for the transfer of the Optioned Interests. 

 

	 	1.3	 Equity Interest Purchase Price 

Optioned Interests 
 The
total price for the purchase by Party A of all Optioned Interests held by Party B upon exercise of the Equity Interest Purchase Option by Party A shall equal to the amount of registered capital contributed by Party B in Party C for such Optioned
Interests (or such price may be as set forth in the equity transfer agreement to be executed between Party A (or the Designee) and Party B separately, provided that such price does not violate PRC laws and regulations and is acceptable to Party A);
if Party A exercises the Equity Interest Purchase Option to purchase part of the Optioned Interests held by Party B in Party C, then the purchase price shall be calculated on a pro rata basis. If at the time when Party A exercises the Equity
Interest Purchase Option, the PRC laws impose mandatory requirements on the purchase price of such Optioned Interests, such that the minimum price permitted under PRC law is higher than the aforementioned price, then the purchase price shall be such
minimum price permitted by PRC law (collectively, the “Equity Interest Purchase Price”). 
  

	 	1.4	 Transfer of Optioned Interests 

For each exercise of the Equity Interest Purchase Option: 
  

	 	1.4.1	 Party B shall cause Party C to promptly convene a shareholders’ meeting, at which a resolution shall be
adopted approving Party B’s transfer of the Optioned Interests to Party A and/or the Designee(s); 

  

	 	1.4.2	 Party B shall obtain written statements from the other shareholders of Party C giving consent to the transfer
of the Optioned Interests by Party B to Party A and/or the Designee(s) and waiving any right of first refusal with respect thereto; 

  

	 	1.4.3	 Party B shall execute an equity interest transfer contract with respect to each transfer with Party A and/or
each Designee (whichever is applicable), in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Equity Interest Purchase Option Notice regarding the Optioned Interests; 

  
 2 

Strictly Confidential 

	 	1.4.4	 Party B shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Equity Interest Purchase Option Notice,
execute all necessary contracts, agreements or documents with relevant parties, obtain all necessary government approvals and permits, and complete all necessary registrations and filings, so as to transfer valid ownership of the Optioned Interests
to Party A and/or the Designee(s), unencumbered by any security interests, and cause Party A and/or the Designee(s) to become the registered owner(s) of the Optioned Interests. For the purpose of this Section and this Agreement, “security
interests” shall include securities, mortgages, third party’s rights or interests, any stock options, acquisition right, right of first refusal, right to offset, ownership retention or other security arrangements, but shall be deemed to
exclude any security interest created by this Agreement, Party B’s Equity Interest Pledge Agreement and Party B’s Power of Attorney; “Party B’s Equity Interest Pledge Agreement” as used in this Agreement shall refer to the
Interest Pledge Agreement executed by and among Party A, Party B and Party C on the date hereof and any modification, amendment and restatement thereto.; “Party B’s Power of Attorney” as used in this Agreement shall refer to the Power
of Attorney executed by Party B on the date hereof granting Party A with a power of attorney and any modification, amendment and restatement thereto. 

  

	 	1.5	 Payment 

The Parties have agreed in the Loan Agreement that any proceeds obtained by Party B through the transfer of its equity interests in Party C
shall be used for repayment of the loan provided by Party A (and any interest thereon) in accordance with the Loan Agreement. Accordingly, upon exercise of the Equity Interest Purchase Option, Party A may make the payment of the Equity Interest
Purchase Price by way of offset of the outstanding debts owed by Party B to Party A (including without limitation the outstanding amount of the loan owed by Party B to Party A and any interest thereon) (such debts, the “Offset Debts”), in
which case Party A shall not be required to pay any additional purchase price to Party B, unless the Equity Interest Purchase Price set forth herein is required to be adjusted in accordance with the PRC laws. If the PRC laws impose mandatory
requirements on the Equity Interest Purchase Price agreed under this Agreement, such that the minimum Equity Interest Purchase Price permitted under PRC laws exceeds the price already offset with the Offset Debts, Party B hereby waives its right to
receive the amount of price that exceeds the amount offset with the Offset Debts.

Subject to the provisions of the laws and regulations of China, Party A may exercise the Equity Interest Purchase Option by issuing a written
notice to Party B (the “Equity Interest Purchase Option Notice”), specifying:(a) Party A’s decision to exercise the Equity Interest Purchase Option, and the name of the Designee(s) if any; (b) the portion of equity interests to

Purchase Price by way of offset of the outstanding debts owed by Party B to Party A (including without limitation the outstanding amount of the loan owed by Party B to Party A and any interest thereon) (such debts, the “Offset Debts”), in

requirements on the Equity Interest Purchase Price agreed under this Agreement, such that the minimum Equity Interest Purchase Price permitted under PRC laws exceeds the price already offset with the Offset Debts, Party B hereby waives its right to
receive the amount of price that exceeds the amount offset with the Offset Debts.
