We have acted as special Nevada counsel for Senmiao Technology Limited, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation of a registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”), filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to register any combination of shares of the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”), and/or preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Preferred Stock”), various series of debt securities, warrants to purchase any of such securities, and/or rights to purchase shares of our Common Stock or Preferred Stock, either individually or in units comprised of any of such securities, in one or more offerings, (each a “Company Security” and collectively, or in any combination, the “Company Securities”), for an aggregate offering price of up to $150,000,000.

The Company Securities may be issued and sold by the Company pursuant to applicable provisions of Rule 415 under the Securities Act, in amounts, at prices and on terms to be determined in light of market conditions at the time of sale, and as set forth in the Registration Statement, any amendment thereto.
