This matter can only be implemented after being deliberated and approved by the general meeting of shareholders of the company, and corresponding pre-approval procedures such as project initiation and filing, construction land use right, approval of environmental impact assessment of construction projects, energy conservation assessment and review shall be obtained in accordance with national regulations. The actual progress of the project is uncertain.
2. Under the background that many lithium battery materials in China have expanded their production capacity, the project may have certain market competition risks in the future. In view of the market competition risk, the company will continue to strengthen R & D efforts, establish product barriers, strengthen the development of customers and increase customer stickiness, so as to further stabilize and strengthen the market share pattern of the company. And by strengthening operation and management and giving full play to scale effect, reduce production costs and enhance the company’s anti risk ability. At the same time, the company will fully consider the flexible switching production of standard copper foil and lithium battery copper foil in the planning and design, so as to adapt to the demand changes of the future market.
