YUNFENG FIN (00376) announced that on September 1, 2025, the company entered into a strategic cooperation agreement with Ant Digital Technology (the technology commercialization division of Ant Group, Ant Digital Tech). Simultaneously, the group made a strategic investment in Pharos Network Technology Limited (Pharos).

As global digitalization accelerates, the integration of Web3 technology with traditional finance has become a key driving force for industry transformation. This strategic cooperation with Ant Digital Tech will leverage the strengths of both parties: Ant Digital Tech's technological expertise in blockchain and digital finance, combined with the group's professional experience in traditional financial services (asset management, securities, insurance) and new energy carbon assets.

Under strict compliance frameworks and with high emphasis on security, both parties will jointly explore Real World Assets (RWA) tokenization and next-generation internet (Web3) frontier areas through the Pharos high-performance public blockchain platform in full compliance. This will not only strengthen the group's positioning in the digital finance sector but also help Ant Digital Tech deepen blockchain technology applications. The synergistic effects between both parties will create new growth opportunities for each other.

Pharos is a next-generation Layer1 public blockchain focused on building institutional-grade Real World Assets (RWA) application scenarios. This investment will fully leverage Pharos's advanced technology and the group's resource advantages to accelerate the integration of Web3 with traditional finance, creating synergistic value for all parties.

This investment aligns with the company's long-term strategy, aimed at exploring the potential of blockchain technology in financial innovation and creating sustainable value for company shareholders.
