APT ELECTRONICS (02551) announced that on February 24, 2026, its board of directors approved a resolution for the company to act as a limited partner. The company will enter into a partnership agreement with Wanlian Tianze (acting as the general partner and an independent third party) as well as Emerging Fund, High-Quality Development Fund, Nansha Science and Finance Group, and Nansha Artificial Intelligence (each acting as limited partners and independent third parties) to establish a new fund. The total committed capital for the fund is expected to be 668 million yuan. APT ELECTRONICS plans to commit 268 million yuan, representing approximately 40.12% of the total fund commitment. The company's contribution will be funded from its internal resources. The fund is not expected to be consolidated as a subsidiary of the company. The fund will be established as a limited partnership under Chinese law, provisionally named Guangzhou Tianze Jingxin Venture Investment Fund Partnership (Limited Partnership), with the final name subject to industrial and commercial registration. The fund will focus on the semiconductor and integrated circuit sectors within Guangzhou's "12218" modern industrial system, prioritizing support for government-designated strategic industries, including potential investments in Guangdong Xinjuneng. This move represents a further strategic deployment in the "third-generation semiconductor" industry cluster, aiming to provide core support for business expansion in key application areas such as new energy vehicles, advanced displays, photovoltaics, energy storage, and AI data centers. This initiative is intended to diversify the group's product portfolio, foster collaborative customer development, and promote ecological clustering effects across the upstream and downstream industry chain. Furthermore, through cooperative investment with the Guangzhou Industrial and Information Technology Development Fund and state-owned capital platforms at both municipal and district levels, a synergistic mechanism characterized by "government guidance, market-driven operation, and industrial traction" will be established. This approach will not only provide medium to long-term capital to support the implementation of key strategic projects and enhance industrial chain capabilities in Guangzhou but will also help the group achieve sustainable, high-quality development and create greater value returns for shareholders.
