As highlighted in the Company’s 2022 Interim Report, in recent years, relying on the continuous and rapid development of photovoltaic industry in the PRC, the Company has focused on the field of new energy materials, expedited the optimization of regional layout, and successively established seven intelligent production bases in East China, Central China, North China and Southwest China. At the same time, the Company has divested and disposed of all the original information display glass segment-related businesses in the first half of 2022, so as to concentrate its resources on the development of the core business of new energy materials. As a result of the Company’s persistence on innovation to promote business transformation and upgrade, the Company is pleased to announce that it has taken the lead in the industry to achieve the complete transformation from traditional flat glass into information display glass and from information display glass into new energy materials. The Company has comprehensively transformed into the field of new energy materials instead of focusing on information display glass segment-related businesses.

In view of the above development strategy of the Company and the actual situation of the Company’s current operating businesses, and in accordance with the specific requirements of the market regulation administration on the comprehensive usage of the Catalogue on the Standardized Description of Business Scope Registration, the Board proposes to change the business scope of the Company as follows:
