Interest Entities |
An entity is a VIE if it has any of the following characteristics
:
| ● | The
entity does not have enough equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. |
| ● | The
equity holders, as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. |
| ● | The
entity is structured with non-substantive voting rights (i.e., an anti-abuse clause). |
We consolidate VIEs in which Company
hold a variable interest and are the primary beneficiary. Company is the primary beneficiary because it has the power to direct the activities
of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that potentially
could be significant to the VIE and the right to receive benefits from the VIE that potentially could be significant to the VIE (benefits).
As a result, we consolidate the assets and liabilities of these consolidated VIEs.
The VIEs have been incorporated in their respective locations
to perform the business of providing mobility solutions to consumers and businesses.
