Consideration
The Consideration of RMB500.0 million shall be payable by the Purchaser to the Company in cash in accordance with the following manner:
(i) RMB350.0 million, representing 70% of the Consideration, shall be paid to the Company’s designated account within 5 Business Days from the date of signing of the Equity Transfer Agreement; and
(ii) RMB150.0 million, representing 30% of the Consideration, shall be paid to the Company’s designated accounts within 5 Business Days after all conditions precedent set out in the Equity Transfer Agreement are fulfilled or waived (as the case may be) and the registration of the industrial and commercial change of Sale Equity by parties in relation to the Disposal is completed (subject to the Target Company obtaining the business licenses after the industrial and commercial change).
Basis of the Consideration
The Consideration was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the parties to the Equity Transfer Agreement by taking into consideration various factors, including but not limited to (i) the historical financial performance of the Disposal Group as well as the market capitalisation of the Shares in the past years; (ii) a valuation prepared by the Independent Valuer in respect of the 39% equity interest of the Target Company with market value of approximately RMB491.0 million as at 30 September 2025 (the “Valuation Date”) under market approach, which is mainly based on the enterprise value-to-earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EV/EBITDA”) multiples of the comparable companies (the “Valuation”); and (iii) the factors as described under the section headed “REASONS AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL” in this announcement.
The Valuation was conducted on the following basis:
Methodology
In arriving at the assessed value, the Independent Valuer had considered three generally accepted approaches, namely, market approach, income approach and cost approach. In its opinion, the market approach was more appropriate than the income approach or the cost approach for valuing the Target Company because (i) the income approach is not the most optimal approach as it involves long-term financial projections and the adoption of numerous assumptions, not all of which can be easily quantified or ascertained; and (ii) the cost approach is inappropriate for valuing the Target Company, as it does not directly incorporate information about the economic benefits contributed by the Target Company.
Market approach determines the value of underlying assets based on comparable listed companies or comparable transaction cases. Given that the lack of sufficient recent market transactions with similar nature as the Target Company, the Independent Valuer considered that valuing the Target Company based on comparable listed companies was more appropriate.
In determining the benchmark multiples to be used in the Valuation, the Independent Valuer had considered different benchmark multiples and selected the EV/EBITDA multiple because it is suitable for profitable companies and can factor in the differences in balance sheet positions between the Target Company and the comparable companies.
In this case, the Independent Valuer used the adjusted EV/EBITDA multiple of the comparable companies, which were calculated based on the financial information as publicly disclosed and adjusted to reflect the difference in size between the comparable companies and the Disposal Group as well as the lack of marketability of the Target Company as an unlisted company, to determine the market value of the Target Company by multiplying the EBITDA of the Disposal Group with the median of the adjusted EV/EBITDA ratios of the comparable companies.
Assumptions
In determining the Valuation, the following general assumptions were adopted:
- There will be no material change in the existing political, legal, technological, fiscal or economic conditions, which might adversely affect the business of the Target Company;
- The operational and contractual terms stipulated in the relevant contracts and agreements will be honored;
- The facilities and systems proposed are sufficient for future expansion in order to realize the growth potential of the business and maintain a competitive edge; and
- The Independent Valuer has assumed that there are no hidden or unexpected conditions associated with the Target Company that might adversely affect the reported values. Further, the Independent Valuer assumed no responsibility for changes in market conditions after the Valuation Date.
Selection basis of the comparable companies
The comparable companies were selected based on criteria such as public listing exchanges and duration, industry relevance, geographic focus, profitability, and data availability. These criteria are mainly used to match the business activities and operating status of the Target Company, ensuring that the selected comparable companies closely align with the Target Company. For the valuation of Target Company, the Independent Valuer had selected 6 comparable companies.
- 5 -
- 6 -
Nature and source of information relied upon
During the Valuation, the Independent Valuer relied on (i) the financial statements of prior years provided by the Company and the Target Company; and (ii) the financial data of the comparable companies as extracted from public source, such as Bloomberg, Capital IQ, annual reports of the comparable companies, etc.
Conditions Precedent
Completion is conditional upon fulfilment or waiver (as decided by the Purchaser) of, among other things, the following conditions precedent:
(i) the Transaction Documents have been duly executed, delivered and become effective; and each party signing the Transaction Documents has fulfilled the relevant procedures such as internal approvals and authorizations of the corresponding shareholders' meeting (or the sole shareholder) of such party and its direct or indirect parent companies and board of directors, approvals by competent authorities (if required), approvals by government authorities (if required) in accordance with its constitution and the requirements of applicable laws and regulations;
(ii) the representations and warranties made by the Company and the Target Company in the Equity Transfer Agreement are true, accurate, complete and not misleading. The obligations, commitments and covenants set forth in the Equity Transfer Agreement which are to be performed by the Disposal Group or the Company on or before the Completion Date have been performed;
(iii) the Target Company and its shareholders have executed all necessary written documents for the purpose of filing the change of registration with the competent registration authority for the Disposal in form and substance satisfactory to the Purchaser; including but not limited to (i) the Company has approved the transaction, the signing and performance of the Transaction Documents, and the matters planned in the Transaction Document; (ii) the amended articles of association of the Target Company;
(iv) the absence of one or more events (including the absence of any event of default under the Equity Transfer Agreement) prior to the Completion Date that would have a material adverse effect and no evidence of the occurrence of such event(s) that could have a material adverse effect;
(v) the Company has sent to the Purchaser a notice of payment containing information about the Company's designated collection accounts in accordance with the relevant agreement;
(vi) the Company and the Target Company have delivered a completion satisfaction letter in the form as specified in the Equity Transfer Agreement confirming the conditions precedent set out in the Equity Transfer Agreement have been satisfied or waived; and
(vii) the Company has obtained Independent Shareholders' approval of the Equity Transfer Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder at its general meeting.
Save for the condition precedent (vii) above could not be waived, all other conditions precedent could be waived by the Purchaser.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL
To enter into the Disposal, the Board has mainly considered the following factors:
(i) Strategic disposal of part of the Telecommunication Business to address underperformance of the Share and focus on high-growth opportunities
Over the past two years leading up to the Last Trading Date, the Share price has consistently underperformed compared with the Hang Seng Index. The Board considers that the sluggish performance of the Share price is primarily attributable to the limited growth prospects and uncertainty surrounding the Group's Telecommunication Business. For the year ended 31 December 2024, while the integrated circuits and digital technology business segment achieved a year-on-year growth of approximately 17.6% and the new energy and services business segment achieved a year-on-year growth of approximately 141.3%, the Telecommunication Business recorded a comparatively modest revenue increase of approximately 6.0%. Amid persistent trade frictions and escalating geopolitical tensions, the overseas market demand has been volatile, and the Company is anticipated to encounter growing challenges in its exploration and expansion efforts in international markets moving forward. Additionally, with the construction of 5G networks in both domestic and overseas developed markets nearing completion, the demand in the wireless segment of mobile communications networks has also been experiencing slow growth. For the six months ended 30 June 2025, the Telecommunication Business recorded a decrease in revenue of approximately RMB115.4 million or 11.9%, from
RMB969.3 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024 to RMB853.8 million for the six months ended 30 June 2025. Such decline occurred despite the Group’s increased efforts in market exploration, including the implementation of a more competitive pricing strategy and the broadening of its product mix, aimed at maintaining its market position and securing orders from major telecommunication operators in the PRC. In contrast, for the six months ended 30 June 2025, the integrated circuits and digital technology business segment achieved a period-on-period growth of approximately 21.4%, while the new energy and services business segment achieved a period-on-period growth of approximately 8.4%.
The Board periodically conducts strategic reviews of its businesses to maximize returns to Shareholders. Considering (i) the prevailing market valuation of the Company; (ii) the business outlook of the Telecommunication Business, including the resources needed to sustain the Disposal Group’s market competitiveness and prospects; and (iii) the overall business strategy of the Group, the Board believes that the Disposal represents an attractive opportunity to realise partial value from the Disposal Group at an opportune time and to reallocate the proceeds towards technology-driven products and services, as well as policy-supported industries that offer higher growth potential. This strategic reallocation of capital is expected to accelerate the development of the Group’s Growing Businesses, thereby enhancing overall profitability and creating greater potential to increase the Company’s market valuation over the medium to long term.
As at the date of this announcement, the Company had no intention, arrangement, agreement, understanding or negotiation to further dispose of its interest in the Target Company. The Company will continue to monitor and review the Group’s business and operations from time to time, and may take steps that it deems necessary or appropriate to optimise the value of the Group.
(ii) The growth prospects of the Growing Businesses
The Company is confident that the Growing Businesses have significant growth potential.
In respect of the integrated circuits and digital technology business,
a. the year 2025 is poised to mark the beginning of a significant surge in AI terminal applications, driving comprehensive growth in the semiconductor market. According to the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS), the global semiconductor market is projected to reach US$697 billion in 2025, reflecting a robust growth rate of 11.2%. Furthermore, according to Statista, the global semiconductors market is anticipated to experience compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.24% from 2025 to 2030, leading to a robust market volume of US$1.29 trillion by 2030, indicating the sustained interest and investment in semiconductor technology. Concurrently, the Chinese government is actively advancing initiatives to achieve independent control of the semiconductor industry, supported by the rapid expansion of emerging technology sectors such as artificial intelligent, the Internet of Things (IoT), big data, and new energy vehicles. These
- 10 -
developments collectively indicate a highly promising outlook for the integrated circuits and digital technology market, positioning it as a key driver of global technological and economic progress. As of 30 June 2025, the integrated circuits and digital technology business segment has an order backlog of over RMB178.3 million, laying a solid foundation for the Group's operations in the second half of 2025;
b. Mr. Peng Yinan, an executive Director, and Shanghai Zhangyu Information Technology Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, have played pivotal roles as one of the drafters and primary drafting entities, respectively, in the formulation of the national standard for Metaverse-Reference Architecture (the "Standard"). The Standard falls under the purview of the National Technical Committee on Information Technology Standardization (SAC/TC 28) and is overseen by the National Standards Committee. Leveraging its deep understanding of the Standard and technological expertise in blockchain (particularly in decentralized identity/DID and trusted data exchange) and digital security, the Company is well-positioned to lead the development of key components and solutions that align with the Standard, such as trusted identity authentication, data privacy protection, and system security safeguards; and
c. the Company has established a joint laboratory for intelligent security cryptographic chips with East China Normal University. The Company and East China Normal University will collaborate on applying for national-level research programs, including the National Key Research and Development Program and key projects under the National Natural Science Foundation, as well as major and key research projects issued by Shanghai. The collaboration will also involve joint talent cultivation and the sharing of technological achievements. The Board considers that the collaboration will significantly enhance the Group's capabilities in foundational research, key technology breakthroughs, and industrial applications of cryptographic chips, further strengthening its core competitiveness in the field of high-end digital security.
In respect of the new energy and services business,
a. under the guidance of China's "dual carbon goals" (carbon emissions peak by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060), China's energy industry is accelerating its transformation and upgrading, which propels the renewable energy industry into a new stage of high-quality development. As an important part of renewable energy, solar thermal power is gaining increasing importance in the transformation of energy structure due to its reliability and sustainability. In particular, the Energy Law of the People's Republic of China implemented on 1 January 2025 explicitly advocates for "active development of solar thermal power generation", providing robust legal support for the development of the solar thermal power generation industry. According to the China Photovoltaic Industry Association (CPIA), the global photovoltaic newly added installed capacities are expected to reach 570-630 gigawatts ("GW") in 2025. Among them, driven by both
- 11 -
policy and market forces, China's newly added installed capacities are projected to reach 270-300GW, accounting for more than 40% of the world's total, reflecting the sustained robust demand in the domestic market;
b. the Delingha 350 megawatts ("MW") solar thermal project ("Qinghai Project"), participated by Zhejiang Zhongguang New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. ("Zhongguang New Energy"), has been successfully designated as a 2024 solar thermal power demonstration (pilot) project in Qinghai Province. Notably, Qinghai Project is currently the largest tower-type solar thermal project in terms of installed capacity among the completed, planned and under-construction projects in the world. The Board believes that this selection will significantly enhance the Company's competitive edge in securing bids for projects utilizing similar solar thermal power technologies. Based on the feasibility report prepared by Northwest Electric Power Design Institute Co., Ltd. of China Power Engineering Consulting Group, it is expected that the Qinghai Project will operate in full capacity in the third quarter of 2027. The Board considers that the Qinghai Project will generate stable long-term revenue and enhance the Group's market reputation and competitiveness in the solar thermal power generation sector;
c. the Delingha 50MW Tower-type Molten Salt Thermal Storage Solar Thermal Project in Qinghai Province, wholly owned by Zhongguang New Energy, has been successfully included in the Green Technology Promotion Catalog (2024 Edition) (《綠色技術推廣目錄(2024年版)》), jointly prepared by the National Development and Reform Commission of the PRC and seven other government departments, as a benchmark application case. This inclusion signifies the formal acknowledgment by the PRC government authority of Zhongguang New Energy's advanced molten salt thermal storage technology, thereby reinforcing its strategic position and contributing significantly to the long-term development of the Group;
d. leveraging over a decade of practical experience and accumulated expertise in the construction, operation, and maintenance of solar thermal power plants, Zhongguang New Energy has strategically deployed its capabilities to provide standardized and systematic operation and maintenance solutions tailored to the entire life cycle of solar thermal power plants. These solutions ensure the smooth and efficient operation of power plants. As of 30 June 2025, Zhongguang New Energy has secured six external contracts for the operation and maintenance of solar thermal power stations, with the cumulative value of these contracts reaching RMB230 million, underscoring its leadership and reliability in the industry.
(iii) The fairness and reasonableness of the Consideration
Given that (a) the implied value of the Target Company of RMB1,282.1 million (the "Implied Value"), which is deduced from the Consideration for the Sale Equity, represents a premium of approximately 54.7% to the market capitalization of the Company as at the Last Trading Date; (b) the Implied Value represents a slight premium of approximately 2.3% to the net assets value
- 12 -
of the Disposal Group as at 30 June 2025; and (c) the Consideration represents a slight premium of approximately 1.8% to the market value of the Sale Equity as appraised under the Valuation, the Directors consider that the Disposal provides an opportunity for the Company to realise a portion of the underlying value of the Telecommunication Business at a reasonable valuation, thereby enabling the Group to reallocate resources towards its Growing Businesses with higher-growth potential and enhance long-term shareholder value.
Having taken into consideration of the reasons for and benefits of the Disposal as set out above, the Board is of the view that the terms of Disposal are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
LISTING RULES IMPLICATION
As the highest applicable percentage ratio in respect of the Disposal exceeds 25% but is less than 75%, the Disposal constitutes a major transaction of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is therefore subject to the notification, announcement, circular and shareholder's approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
