Announcement on foreign investment projects
The board of directors and all directors of the company guarantee that there are no false records, misleading statements or major omissions in the contents of this announcement, and bear individual and joint liabilities for the authenticity, accuracy and completeness of its contents.
Important content tips:
Investment projects: production line project with annual output of 100000 tons of high-precision copper alloy strip and 50000 tons of copper strip blank (hereinafter referred to as “project I”) and project with annual output of 50000 tons of battery foil (hereinafter referred to as “Project II”). The investment amount of project I is about 2.016 billion yuan and Project II is about 700 million yuan
Special risk tips:
1. The foreign investment still needs to be considered by the general meeting of shareholders, which is still uncertain. 2. Macroeconomic environment risk: as the basic industry of industrial development, non-ferrous metal processing industry is affected by the macroeconomic environment and the fluctuation of downstream industries. There is a risk that the performance of the project will be affected by the macroeconomic environment.
3. Raw material price fluctuation risk:
Project 1: the raw materials for production of the company are mainly electrolytic copper, and the fluctuation of copper price has a great impact on the operating cost of the company. The company adopts the pricing mode of “raw material price + processing fee”. The main raw material is electrolytic copper, and its price fluctuates with the market. During the reporting period, the company adopted the method of determining production by sales and ordering by production to effectively deal with the risk of price fluctuation of electrolytic copper. However, if the price of electrolytic copper fluctuates sharply in the future, it may lead to the fluctuation of the company’s operating performance, and the company has the operating risk caused by the sharp fluctuation of the price of raw materials.
Project 2: the main raw materials required for the production of the project are aluminum sectors and strips. With the change of supply and demand in the global market, the price of raw materials also fluctuates continuously. The fluctuation of raw material price will affect the production cost of the company, increase the operation risk of the company and have a significant impact on the production and operation performance of the company.
4. Risk of project policy and approval process: the energy consumption index, land and environmental impact assessment required for the construction of this investment project have not been finally approved, and there is great uncertainty whether they can be successfully approved. If the approval is not passed, there is a risk that the project cannot be started or the commencement time is uncertain, resulting in project delay, change or termination. 5. Project construction risk: project I and Project II are implemented by stages, and the construction cycle is long. The project investment amount and construction cycle are planned or estimated. After completion, many factors such as production line reaching production and market development are uncertain. The relevant data do not represent the company’s prediction of future performance, nor do they constitute a performance commitment to shareholders. Whether and when the later project will be implemented will be determined according to the economic environment, industrial policies, changes in market demand, operation and management and other factors. There is uncertainty whether the later project can be carried out smoothly. 6. Talent and technology risks: project I: the production technology of the project is mature, reliable and advanced, and the main production equipment is domestic advanced, reliable and applicable equipment. However, whether we can stably produce high-quality products depends not only on the production mode and equipment level, but also on the technical ability and management level. The company will continue to attract management and technical talents with relevant production experience, and pay attention to the training of employees to reduce the risks of talents and technology of the project. The company will gradually expand the industrial chain, expand the types of aluminum foil products, and gradually improve the competitiveness of the company. Although the company has been deeply engaged in the copper rolling processing industry for many years and has rich experience accumulation, and the aluminum rolling processing industry belongs to the non-ferrous metal rolling processing industry, which has similarities in process. The company’s accumulated experience for many years helps the company quickly master relevant processes in this industry, but the company is involved in the aluminum rolling processing industry for the first time, and the technical reserve in this field is limited, There are still uncertain risks whether it can support the smooth implementation of the project, and subsequent companies will increase investment in technology R & D. The company has conducted a certain talent reserve in the aluminum calendering industry, but the talent reserve is limited. There is still uncertain risk whether it can support the smooth implementation of the project. The follow-up company will continue to introduce high-end talents. 7. Market risk: the investment project may face the risk that the investment benefit of the project does not meet the expectation due to uncertain factors such as macroeconomic environment, industry cycle and market changes. Please invest rationally and pay attention to investment risks. 8. Financial risk: the investment amount of this project is relatively large, and the subsequent investment plan and time will depend on the actual operation and development of the company and the capital situation of the company, the actual demand of funds and the raising of funds
There is still uncertainty about whether it can be in place on time. In the short term, it may affect the company’s cash flow and increase financial expenses. In the process of project implementation, the company will reasonably arrange the scale and progress of fund use, strictly standardize procurement and project construction, and strictly control the project cost on the premise of ensuring the project quality and controlling the implementation risk.
9. The project will not lead to significant changes in the company’s main business and is not expected to have a material impact on the company’s operating performance in the short term.
