For details, please refer to the company’s disclosure in China Securities Journal, Shanghai Securities News, securities times, securities daily and the website of Shanghai Stock Exchange on March 2, 2021 and March 6, 2021 respectively( http://www.sse.com.cn./ )Announcement on share repurchase scheme through centralized bidding transaction (Announcement No.: 2021-015) and report on share repurchase through centralized bidding transaction (Announcement No.: 2021-018).
2、 Implementation of repurchase
(I) on June 29, 2021, the company implemented share repurchase for the first time and disclosed the situation of share repurchase for the first time on June 30, 2021. For details, see the website of Shanghai Stock Exchange disclosed by the company on June 30, 2021( http://www.sse.com.cn. )Announcement on the first repurchase of shares of the company by means of centralized bidding transaction (Announcement No.: 2021-050)
(II) at the 27th meeting of the 10th board of directors held on February 21, 2022, the company deliberated and adopted the proposal on terminating the repurchase of shares of the company. As of the disclosure date of this announcement, 1660200 shares of the company have been actually repurchased, accounting for 0.11% of the total share capital of the company. The maximum repurchase price is 2.29 yuan / share, the minimum repurchase price is 2.07 yuan / share, and the average repurchase price is about 2.11 yuan / share, The total amount of funds used is 3.564 million yuan (excluding transaction costs).
(III) there are differences between the actual implementation of the repurchase plan and the originally disclosed repurchase plan. The differences are as follows:
According to the company’s repurchase plan, the total amount of funds to be repurchased this time shall not be less than 50 million yuan and not more than 100 million yuan; If the lower limit of total repurchase funds is 50 million yuan (inclusive) and the upper limit of share repurchase price is 2.30 yuan / share (inclusive), the number of shares that can be repurchased is expected to be about 21.7391 million shares, accounting for about 1.44% of the current total share capital of the company.
The actual number of shares repurchased by the company was 1.6602 million, accounting for 0.11% of the total share capital of the company, and the total amount of funds paid was 3.564 million yuan (excluding transaction costs). The number of shares actually repurchased accounted for 7.64% of the lower limit specified in the repurchase plan, and the total amount of funds actually used accounted for 7.01% of the lower limit specified in the repurchase plan. Neither the number of repurchases nor the total amount of funds used reached the lower limit of the repurchase plan.
The reason for the difference is that after the board of directors considered and approved the repurchase plan, the company plans to implement the repurchase in stages according to the capital situation. During the implementation period of repurchase, the sharp rise of bulk raw materials and other changes in the supply chain led to more cash expenditure on operating activities; The company is under pressure to repay its due debts; Matters related to the advance payment of commercial housing have a certain impact on the efficiency of the company’s working capital. A series of differences between the external market environment and its own business arrangements and expectations have led to the fact that the implemented share repurchase has not reached the lower limit at present. In order to focus on production and operation and ensure the company’s daily sustainable operation ability and debt performance ability, the company carefully considered and decided to terminate the repurchase of the company’s shares and give priority to the daily operating expenses, rigid debt repayment and other matters related to maintaining the stability of daily operation. The termination of share repurchase is more in line with the actual situation of the current company and can protect the rights and interests of the majority of shareholders to a greater extent. The Company Apologizes for the failure to complete the repurchase plan for the termination of share repurchase.
(IV) impact of the implementation of the share repurchase plan on the company: the share repurchase has not had a significant adverse impact on the company’s normal business activities and financial status, will not lead to changes in the company’s control and will not change the company’s status as a listed company.
