Company Nine: Intending to buy back shares worth 1.5-3 billion yuan for capital reduction.

Company No.9 announced that it plans to repurchase shares through centralized auction trading, with the total repurchase amount not less than 150 million yuan and not exceeding 300 million yuan, and the repurchase price not exceeding 60 yuan per share. It is expected to repurchase 2.5 million to 5 million shares, accounting for 0.34% to 0.68% of the total share capital, to reduce the registered capital. The repurchase period is within 12 months from the date of approval of the repurchase plan by the shareholders' meeting. As of the date of the board's approval of the plan, relevant personnel have no plans to reduce holdings in the next 3 months or 6 months. This repurchase carries risks such as exceeding the price limit and changes in the company's situation.
