3、 Changes in the previous raised funds (I) on the extension of raised investment projects
According to the proposal on the extension of Ningbo Ronbay New Energy Technology Co.Ltd(688005) some fund-raising investment projects deliberated and adopted at the 30th meeting of the first board of directors and the 16th meeting of the first board of supervisors on April 15, 2021, comprehensively considering the current implementation progress of the fund-raising investment project “2025 power lithium battery material comprehensive base (phase I)”, The company decides to postpone the date when the raised investment project reaches the expected usable state. This postponement will not change the content, investment purpose, total investment and implementation subject of the raised investment project.
1. Delay of raised investment projects
In combination with the actual construction and investment progress of the company’s investment project with raised funds, the time when the project reaches the expected usable state shall be adjusted without any change in the investment purpose and investment scale of the raised funds. 2025 power lithium battery material comprehensive base (phase I) with an annual output of 60000 tons of ternary cathode material precursor project is divided into two phases, including 30000 tons in phase 1-1 and 30000 tons in phase 1-2.
2. Reasons for the delay of raised investment projects
The 2025 power lithium battery material comprehensive base (phase I) project invested by the company is implemented in the self built site in Linshan Town, Yuyao, Zhejiang Province. The original planned construction period is 16 months and will reach the expected usable state before December 31, 2020. However, the actual construction progress is lower than expected for the following reasons:
(1) Since the second half of 2019, the subsidy for new energy vehicles has declined, the overall production and sales volume of the downstream electric vehicle market has temporarily decreased year-on-year, and the external environmental changes such as covid-19 epidemic since 2020 have affected the construction progress of the project to a certain extent.
(2) The company’s core products are ncm811 series high nickel ternary cathode materials, with the largest shipment in China for many consecutive years. In order to give priority to meeting the needs of downstream customers of cathode materials, the company focused on solving the capacity bottleneck of cathode materials in Hubei, Guizhou and South Korea, so the construction progress of precursor capacity slowed down accordingly.
(3) During the implementation of the project plan, the company comprehensively improves the comprehensive competitiveness of the precursor business. In 2020, an independent precursor business department will be established to strengthen the ability of independent research and development, procurement, production and sales. Integrate the resources of China, Japan and South Korea, improve the product technical scheme, improve the automation level of equipment and production line, develop and complete a new generation of high nickel series precursors, and better adapt to the requirements of market changes and product technology updates. (4) Since the second half of 2020, there has been strong demand from downstream customers. The company has actively sent samples and obtained certification from many downstream customers. The precursor business unit achieved profit growth in the first quarter of 2021, with a good business situation. The company is accelerating the construction and implementation of the project, and plans to complete the construction of 30000 tons in phase 1-1 by March 31, 2022 and 30000 tons in phase 1-2 by December 31, 2022. The overall production capacity of 60000 tons of ternary precursor of the project will reach the expected usable state, and the time will be adjusted from December 31, 2020 to December 31, 2022.
4、 Contents and reasons for the difference between the actual total investment of the previous fund-raising project and the commitment
