Electronic specialty has been recognized by leading semiconductor companies around the world, and the signing of a strategic framework agreement will begin large-scale supply. According to the announcement, the company's strategic partner (sales platform company) is a comprehensive enterprise focusing on semiconductor materials, equipment and services. It has signed supply framework agreements with many leading global semiconductor companies, completed certification of electronic specialty gas products from several companies to clients and began large-scale supply of electronic specialty gas products from several companies.

According to the announcement, the strategic partner will directly support leading global semiconductor companies with the Kemet brand and subsequently assist the company to become a strategic supplier for leading global semiconductor companies.

The actual controller and chairman of the company completed an increase in holdings, with a transaction amount of 10 million yuan, demonstrating confidence in the company's future development

It is proposed to raise an additional 1 billion yuan to implement projects such as Yizhang Electronic Special Gas and Fujian Hydrogen Hydrogen Peroxide. The company is steadily advancing its plan to raise 1 billion yuan of non-public shares to implement Yizhang Kaimet Special Gas and Fujian Kaimet 300,000 tons/year (based on 27.5%) of high clean food grade, electronic grade, and industrial grade hydrogen peroxide. The planned investment amounts for the two projects are 59/52 million yuan respectively.

Among them, the main products implemented in the Yizhang Kaimei Special Gas Project include electronic grade hydrogen bromide, hydrogen chloride, fluorine-based mixed gas and other products. The estimated annual revenue after completion of the project is 650 million yuan, and the IRR will reach 27%.

The first grant of the 2022 restricted stock incentive plan was completed. The broad coverage showed management's confidence that the equity incentive grant price was 8.19 yuan.
