DISCLOSABLE TRANSACTION

THE ACQUISITION
On March 30, 2026, the Company entered into the Equity Transfer Agreements with the Vendors, namely Mr. WU Yutao (吳玉濤), Mr. XIONG Dao’an (熊道安) and Suzhou Anjie Capital, to acquire from the Vendors an aggregate of 60% equity interest in each of the Target Companies for a total consideration of RMB540 million.
LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined under the Listing Rules) in respect of the Acquisition are more than 5% but all of them are less than 25%, the Acquisition constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company pursuant to Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is therefore subject to the reporting and announcement requirements but not subject to the circular and shareholders’ approval requirements pursuant to Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

Further announcement will be made by the Company within 15 business days after publication of this announcement in compliance with Rule 14.60A of the Listing Rules.

BASIS FOR CONSIDERATION AND DIRECTORS' ASSESSMENT
Third Party Valuation
A valuation report (the "Valuation Report") regarding the market value of 100% of the equity interests in the Target Companies as at December 31,2025 (the "Valuation Date") was prepared by the Valuer (a firm registered and regulated by the China Appraisal Society).
The valuation report has been prepared in accordance with the PRC Valuation Standards issued by the China Appraisal Society. The methods employed in preparing the valuation report are the income approach and the cost approach. According to the Valuation Report, the fair market value of 100% of the equity interest in the Target Companies as at the Valuation Date is approximately RMB928.98 million. Of this amount, RMB911.94 million relates to KC Precision, and RMB17.04 million relates to Geeia Metal. The details of the valuation report are as follows:
Valuation Methods
Given the characteristics of the Target Companies, both the cost approach and the market approach are subject to significant limitations when valuing the relevant assets, for the following reasons: (i) it is difficult to identify comparable cases under the market approach, and the adjustment factors cannot be reliably estimated; and (ii) the cost approach does not directly incorporate data regarding the economic benefits contributed by the subject business. Furthermore, future revenue can be forecast using the income approach. As publicly available input data is utilised when applying this method, it is also objective.
In view of the above, in the valuation, the market value of 100% of the equity interest in the Target Companies was derived by applying a technique known as the guided income approach.
This method requires an examination of the Target Companies' latest operating performance, future revenue and cost data to derive net cash flows, which are then discounted using an appropriate discount rate, whilst taking into account adjustments for non-operating assets and liabilities. This is done to determine the market value of the Target Companies.
8
Valuation Assumptions
In determining the market value of the Target Companies' equity, the following key assumptions have been made:
1) all relevant legal approvals and business certificates or licences required to carry on the business currently operated or intended to be operated by the Target Companies and their subsidiaries have been or will be duly obtained and are renewable upon expiry;
2) there will be no material changes in the political, legal, economic and social environment of the regions in which the Target Companies and its subsidiaries operate or intend to operate;
3) there will be no material difference between the interest rates and exchange rates in the regions where the Target Companies and their subsidiaries operate and the current prevailing interest rates and exchange rates;
4) it is assumed that the operational and contractual terms set out in the relevant contracts and agreements will be complied with;
5) the financial and operational information provided by the Company regarding the Target Companies and their subsidiaries is accurate, and such information is highly reliable for the purpose of arriving at the valuation opinion; and
6) there are no omissions or unforeseen circumstances relating to the valuation data that may have an adverse effect on the reported value.
Criteria for the Selection of Comparables
1) future revenue is derived from the judgement of management and the valuers based on their investigations;
2) gross profit margins, selling expenses and administrative expenses within costs are determined in accordance with industry standards and the company's own internal standards;
3) the discount rate has been confirmed using the beta coefficient of comparable companies available as at the valuation date.
Based on the aforementioned sources from Tonghuashun, audit reports and the accounting records of the Target Companies, the Valuer has obtained data compliant with the above criteria on a best-effort basis.
Note:
- Enterprise Value = Free Cash Flow – Value of Debt + Retained Cash + Net Value of Non-Operating Assets and Liabilities
Adjustments made to the valuation basis
1) Discount for Lack of Marketability (DLOM)
This valuation employs the income approach and does not involve a discount for lack of marketability; however, the discount rate used in the income approach takes into account the impact of the company's scale, length of operation, product sales and R&D status on its specific rate of return.
2) Control premium
This valuation covers 100% of the equity. Therefore, no control premium is taken into account.

Directors' Assessment of the Consideration
The Board considered that the consideration for the Acquisition is fair and reasonable due to the following reasons:
1) in assessing the fairness of the consideration, the Company considers it appropriate to refer to the valuation analysis set out above; and
2) as disclosed in the subsection headed “Reasons for and Benefits of the Acquisition” below, the Acquisition may (i) advance the Company’s overall development strategy by leveraging the Target Companies’ scientific research and technological capabilities, and enhance the market penetration of the Group’s existing products; and (ii) generate significant synergies for the Group’s existing business and further strengthen the Group’s existing product portfolio.
Based on the foregoing, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreements are determined after arm’s length negotiation on normal commercial terms and are therefore fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, none of the Directors has a material interest in the Acquisition and therefore none of them is required to abstain from voting on the relevant Board resolution approving the Acquisition.
REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE AQUISITION
The Company anticipates that the Target Companies’ products and technologies align with the Company’s overall development strategy. The Company focuses on ODM manufacturing of smart products, providing one-stop services ranging from R&D and design to production and manufacturing for brand clients in the consumer electronics and other industries. The Target Companies, meanwhile, are high-tech enterprise specialising in high-precision metal etching technology, primarily providing precision metal processing solutions, including metal etching, laser cutting and stamping, to clients in the consumer electronics and other sectors. The Target Companies’ heat dissipation modules, including VC (Vapor-Chamber) heat spreaders and precision metal components, and related structural parts can be applied to the Company’s ODM manufacturing processes. The Company expects that the Acquisition will enhance its market penetration in segments such as smartphones and tablet computers and generate synergies with its existing business. Leveraging the Target Companies’ technical expertise in metal etching, the Group will be better positioned to strengthen its technological capabilities and enhance its value proposition within the integrated design-and-manufacturing ODM industry. In this regard, the Company believes that proceeding with the Acquisition is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.
LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the Acquisition are more than 5% but all of them are less than 25%, the Acquisition constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company pursuant to Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is therefore subject to the reporting and announcement requirements but not subject to the circular and shareholders’ approval.
As the discounted cash flow method of the income approach was applied in the Valuation Report, the calculation of the value of 100% of equity interest in the Target Companies as set out in the Valuation Report is regarded as profit forecast under Rule 14.61 of the Listing Rules. Further announcement will be made by the Company within 15 business days after publication of this announcement in compliance with Rule 14.60A of the Listing Rules
