LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Resolution on Provision of Guarantees Among Subsidiaries

In recent years, the Company's Automotive Safety Business Unit has improved its operating efficiency and continued to enhance its overall profitability through various cost reduction and efficiency improvement measures. To further reduce its financing costs, lower guarantee amounts and optimize its debt structure, in light of the existing guarantees and loans, the Company intends to adjust and optimize guarantees for the holding subsidiaries of the Automotive Safety Business Unit with a maximum amount not exceeding US$1.51 billion. Specifically, certain subsidiaries of the Company's Automotive Safety Business Unit intend to provide guarantees for applications by other subsidiaries within the same business unit to the syndicate for a loan with a total amount of no more than US$1.3 billion. The principal debt corresponding to the guarantee has a term of five years. The guarantee does not involve any new guarantees, details of which are as follows:

Guarantor Guaranteed person Method of guarantee Principal amount of credit under guarantee Creditor
A total of 38 subsidiaries under the Automotive Safety Business Unit of our Company, including Ningbo Joyson Safety Systems Co., Ltd. Joyson Auto Safety S.A., Joyson Safety Systems Holdings No.3 S.à r.l., Joyson Safety Systems Acquisitions LLC, and Joyson Safety Systems Japan G.K. Full joint and several liability guarantee and collateral/pledge guarantee of assets including subsidiaries' equity Up to USD1.3 billion Syndicate led by Deutsche Bank AG, Singapore Branch and China Merchants Bank Co., Ltd., (London Branch)

The guarantee risks associated with subsidiaries exceeding the equity proportion are within manageable limits, posing no threat to the Company's ongoing operational capacity. There exists no situation that would harm the interests of the Company or its shareholders as a whole, particularly the minority shareholders.

The aforementioned Guarantee has been considered and approved by the Board and, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Listing Rules and the Articles of Association, it is subject to the consideration of the general meeting of the Company.
