          to the Acquisition Agreement, Naked Brand Group Limited ("NBG") purchased from CAG all of the issued and outstanding share capital or capital stock, as applicable, of Cenntro in exchange for an aggregate of 174,853,546 Ordinary Shares of NBG and
          the conversion of stock options to purchase CAG ordinary shares under the 2016 Plan into stock options to purchase an aggregate of 9,225,291 Ordinary Shares of the Company (the "Combination"). The closing of the Combination occurred on December
          30, 2021. In connection with the closing of the Combination, NBG changed its name to "Cenntro Electric Group Limited." Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, the Registrant assumed the 2016 Plan and each option to purchase ordinary shares of CAG
          that was outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the effective time of the Combination under the 2016 Plan, whether or not vested, was converted into and became an option to purchase Ordinary Shares of the Registrant. Following the
          closing of the Combination, on December 30, 2021 the board of directors of the Company adopted the 2022 Plan and the ESPP. This Registration Statement on Form S-8 is being filed for the purpose of registering shares of the Registrant's Ordinary
          Shares issuable under the 2016 Plan, the 2022 Plan and the ESPP.

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The Registrant has agreed to indemnify current and past directors and other executive officers of the Registrant on a full indemnity basis and to the fullest extent permitted by law against all
          liabilities incurred by the director or officer as a result of their holding office in the Registrant or a related body corporate.
The Registrant currently maintains insurance for each director and officer against any liability incurred by the director or officer as a result of their holding office in the Registrant or a
          related body corporate.
Under the Australian
Corporations Act 2001
(Cth) (the "Corporations Act"), a company incorporated in Australia or a related body corporate of it must
          not indemnify (other than for legal costs) a person against any liabilities incurred as an officer or auditor of the company if it is a liability:
(a)
owed to the company or a related body corporate;
(b)
for a pecuniary penalty or compensation order made in accordance with the Corporations Act; or
(c)
that is owed to someone other than the company or a related body corporate and did not arise out of conduct in good faith.
In addition, a company or related body corporate must not indemnify a person against legal costs incurred in defending an action for a liability incurred as an officer or auditor of the company
          if the costs are incurred in:
(a)
defending or resisting proceedings in which the person is found to have a liability of the type described above;
(b)
in defending or resisting criminal proceedings in which the person is found guilty;
(c)
in defending or resisting proceedings brought by the Australian corporate regulator or a liquidator for a court order if the grounds for making the order are found to have been established; or
(d)
in connection with proceedings for relief to the person under the Corporations Act in which the Court denies the relief.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant
          has been informed that, in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 9.
Undertakings.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(a)
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment hereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
                  change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
                  registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
                  price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement.
provided
,
however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or
            furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
                  securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section
                  15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to
                  be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
                  advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
                  than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
                  controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
                  question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8, and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be
