According to the announcement, the guarantee from Zall Smart Commerce’s subsidiary Sinoagri, alongside a second guarantee from Hubei Provincial Cereals Oils and Foodstuffs Import and Export Group Co., Ltd., serves as the primary security for the loan.

The overall credit limit for Hubei Digital Trade stands at RMB300 million, with RMB250 million remaining as of the announcement date. Other disclosed information remains unchanged, and the supplementary details should be read in conjunction with the earlier October 17, 2025 announcement.
