Delay of the R&D Center Construction Project by One Year

The announcement states that the “R&D center construction project” will have its expected operational readiness date postponed from June 30, 2026, to June 30, 2027. The company explained that the delay is due to the overall construction progress of the new plant area and supporting projects, which affected the overall schedule of the R&D center.

Prospects for New Projects’ Economic Benefits

According to feasibility studies, both adjusted new projects are expected to have good economic benefits:

  • New fundraising project 1 (DCAC project): Estimated average annual revenue of 111.4565 million yuan, with an after-tax annual profit of 26.0349 million yuan, and a static internal rate of return (IRR) after tax of 18.49%. The payback period is 8.13 years, including construction period.

  • New fundraising project 2 (HMP project): Estimated average annual revenue of 209.7515 million yuan, with an after-tax annual profit of 44.6471 million yuan, and an IRR after tax of 25.95%. The payback period is 7.31 years, including construction period.

The company stated that these adjustments to the use of some raised funds, the change in total investment, and the postponement of some projects are prudent decisions made in response to market environment changes and its own development strategy. These measures aim to optimize the allocation of raised funds, ensure the smooth progress of projects, and improve overall capital utilization.

This matter still requires approval at the company’s 2026 first extraordinary general meeting. The company will perform relevant filing and approval procedures after the shareholders’ approval. China Great Wall Securities, the sponsor, issued an unqualified verification opinion on this matter.
