Why am I receiving this proxy statement?

This proxy statement describes the proposals on which the board of directors (the “Board”) of Greenland Technologies Holding Corporation (the “Company”, “us”, “we” or “our”) would like you, as a shareholder, to vote at the annual meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”), which will take place on January 31, 2023, at 9:30 a.m. EST. The Company will hold the Meeting in a virtual only format, which will be conducted via live audio webcast.

Shareholders will have an equal opportunity to participate at the Meeting and engage with the directors, management, and other shareholders of the Company online, regardless of their geographic location.

The Meeting and any adjournment thereof for the purposes set forth in the notice of meeting enclosed in this proxy statement will be held on January 31, 2023 at 9:30 a.m. EST as a virtual only Meeting via live audio webcast online at: www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/GTEC2023.

Shareholders are being asked to consider and vote upon proposals (the “Proposals”, each a “Proposal”) to (i) elect each of Ming Zhao, Charles Athle Nelson, and Everett Xiaolin Wang (the “Director Nominees”, each a “Director Nominee”) to the serve as a Class I director of the Company until the annual shareholders meeting in 2024 and until their successors are duly elected and qualified (the “Director Election Proposals”), (ii) ratify the appointment of WWC Professional Corporation (“WWC”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Auditor Ratification Proposal”), and (iii) instruct the chairman of the Meeting adjourn the Meeting to a later date, if necessary, under certain circumstances, including for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies in favor of the foregoing Proposals, in the event the Company does not receive the requisite shareholder vote to approve the Proposals (the “Adjournment Proposal”).

This proxy statement also gives you information on the proposals so that you can make an informed decision. You should read it carefully. Your vote is important. You are encouraged to submit your proxy card as soon as possible after carefully reviewing this proxy statement.

Who can vote at this Meeting?

Shareholders who owned ordinary shares of the Company on January 5, 2023 (the “Record Date”) may attend and vote at the Meeting. There were 12,978,504 ordinary shares outstanding on the Record Date. All ordinary shares shall have one vote per share. Information about the ownership of our directors, executive officers and significant shareholders is contained in the section of this proxy statement entitled “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” beginning on page 13 of this proxy statement.

What is the proxy card?

The card enables you to appoint Raymond Z. Wang, the Company’s chief executive officer and Jing Jin, the Company’s chief financial officer as your representatives at the Meeting. By completing and returning the proxy card, you are authorizing these persons to vote your shares at the Meeting in accordance with your instructions on the proxy card. This way, your shares will be voted whether or not you attend the Meeting. Even if you plan to attend the Meeting, it is strongly recommended to complete and return your proxy card before the Meeting date just in case your plans change. If a proposal comes up for vote at the Meeting that is not on the proxy card, the proxies will vote your shares, under your proxy, according to their best judgment.

How does the Board recommend that I vote?

Our Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the election of each of the Director Nominees listed in proposal No. 1 and “FOR” each of proposals No. 2, and No. 3.

What is the difference between holding shares as a shareholder of record and as a beneficial owner?

Certain of our shareholders hold their shares in an account at a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee holder, rather than holding share certificates in their own name. As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and those owned beneficially.

Shareholders of Record/Registered Shareholders

If, on the Record Date, your shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer& Trust Company, you are a “shareholder of record” who may vote at the Meeting, and we are sending these proxy materials directly to you. As the shareholder of record, you have the right to direct the voting of your shares by returning the enclosed proxy card to us or to vote at the Meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the Meeting, please complete, date and sign the enclosed proxy card to ensure that your vote is counted.

Beneficial Owner

If, on the Record Date, your shares were held in an account at a brokerage firm or at a bank or other nominee holder, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held “in street name,” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your broker or nominee who is considered the shareholder of record for purposes of voting at the Meeting. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker on how to vote your shares and to attend the Meeting. However, since you are not the shareholder of record, you may not vote these shares at the Meeting unless you receive a valid proxy from your brokerage firm, bank or other nominee holder. To obtain a valid proxy, you must make a special request of your brokerage firm, bank or other nominee holder. If you do not make this request, you can still vote by using the voting instruction card enclosed with this proxy statement; however, you will not be able to vote at the Meeting.

How do I vote?

If you were a shareholder of record of the Company’s ordinary shares on the Record Date, you may vote electronically at the Meeting or by submitting a proxy. Each ordinary share that you own in your name entitles you to one vote, in each case, on the applicable proposals.

(1)    You may submit your proxy by mail.    You may submit your proxy by mail by completing, signing and dating your proxy card and returning it in the enclosed, postage-paid and addressed envelope. If we receive your proxy card prior to the Meeting and if you mark your voting instructions on the proxy card, your shares will be voted:

•        as you instruct, and

•        according to the best judgment of the proxies if a proposal comes up for a vote at the Meeting that is not on the proxy card.

We encourage you to examine your proxy card closely to make sure you are voting all of your shares in the Company.

If you return a signed card, but do not provide voting instructions, your shares will be voted:

•        FOR each nominee for director;

•        FOR the appointment of WWC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022; and

•        According to the best judgment of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board if a proposal comes up for a vote at the Meeting that is not on the proxy card.

(2)    You may vote online at proxyvote.com.

(3)    You may vote by telephone at 1-800-690-6903.

(4)    You may vote electronically at the Meeting by following the instructions available on the Meeting website www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/GTEC2023.

If I plan on attending the Meeting, should I return my proxy card?

Yes. Whether or not you plan to attend the Meeting, after carefully reading and considering the information contained in this proxy statement, please complete and sign your proxy card. Then return the proxy card in the pre-addressed, postage-paid envelope provided herewith as soon as possible so your shares may be represented at the Meeting.

May I change my mind after I return my proxy?

Yes. You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the polls close at this Meeting. You may do this by:

•        sending a written notice to Vote Processing, c/o Broadridge, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717 stating that you would like to revoke your proxy of a particular date;

•        signing another proxy card with a later date and returning it to Vote Processing, c/o Broadridge, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717 before the polls close at this Meeting; or

•        attending the Meeting and voting electronically.

What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?

You may have multiple accounts at the transfer agent and/or with brokerage firms. Please sign and return all proxy cards to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

What happens if I do not indicate how to vote my proxy?

Signed and dated proxies received by the Company without an indication of how the shareholder desires to vote on a proposal will be voted in favor of the election of each Director Nominee and other proposals presented to the shareholders.

Will my shares be voted if I do not sign and return my proxy card?

If you do not sign and return your proxy card, your shares will not be voted unless you vote at the Meeting.

What vote is required to elect the Director Nominees as directors of the Company?

The election of each Director Nominee requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares voted at the Meeting or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting.

How many votes are required to ratify the appointment of WWC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022?

The proposal to ratify the appointment of WWC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares voted at the Meeting or represented by proxy and entitled to vote by the holders of ordinary shares entitled to vote at the Meeting.

Is my vote kept confidential?

Proxies, ballots and voting tabulations identifying shareholders are kept confidential and will not be disclosed, except as may be necessary to meet legal requirements.

Where do I find the voting results of this Meeting?

We will announce voting results at the Meeting and also file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) reporting the voting results.

Who can help answer my questions?

You can contact us by sending a letter to the offices of the Company at 50 Millstone Road, Building 400 Suite 130, East Windsor, NJ 08512 with any questions about proposals described in this proxy statement or how to execute your vote.

PROPOSAL NO. 2 — THE AUDITOR RATIFICATION PROPOSAL

We are asking our shareholders to ratify the appointment of WWC as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. In the event our shareholders fail to ratify the appointment, the audit committee and the Board may reconsider this appointment.

We have been advised by WWC that neither of the firm nor any of its respective associates had any relationship during the last fiscal year with our company other than the usual relationship that exists between independent registered public accountant firms and their clients. Representatives of WWC are not expected to attend the Meeting and therefore are not expected to be available to respond to any questions. As a result, representatives of WWC will not make a statement at the Meeting.

Principal Accountant Fees and Services

The following table represents fees for professional audit services rendered by external accounting firms and auditing firms for the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 and fees billed for other services rendered in each year.

Policies and Procedures Relating to Approval of Services by our Independent Registered Public Accountants

The audit committee is solely responsible for the approval in advance of all audit and permitted non-audit services to be provided by our independent registered public accounting firms (including the fees and other terms thereof), subject to the de minimis exceptions for non-audit services provided by Section 10A(i)(1)(B) of the Exchange Act, which services are subsequently approved by the audit committee prior to the completion of the audit. None of the fees listed above are for services rendered pursuant to such de minimis exceptions.

The audit committee of our Board has established its pre-approval policies and procedures, pursuant to which the audit committee approved the foregoing audit, tax and non-audit services provided by WWC in 2020 and 2021. Consistent with the audit committee’s responsibility for engaging our independent auditors, all audit and permitted non-audit services require pre-approval by the audit committee. The full audit committee approves proposed services and fee estimates for these services. One or more independent directors serving on the audit committee may be delegated by the full audit committee to pre-approve any audit and non-audit services. Any such delegation shall be presented to the full audit committee at its next scheduled meeting. Pursuant to these procedures, the audit committee approved the foregoing audit services provided by WWC.

The audit committee is responsible for reviewing with both our independent registered public accounting firm and management, our accounting and reporting principles, policies and practices, as well as our accounting, financial and operating controls and staff. The audit committee has reviewed and discussed our audited financial statements with management, and has discussed with our independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended (Codification of Statements on Auditing Standards, AU 380), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB” ) in Rule 3200T. Additionally, the audit committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from our independent registered public accounting firm, as required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB, and has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence. Based upon such review and discussion, the audit committee recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the last fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 for filing with the SEC.
