Northeast Electric Development Co. Ltd. $(NEE)$ is involved in a litigation case concerning an unresolved loan agreement. The case dates back to 1997, when Liaoning Trust and Investment Company, entrusted by the Liaoning Provincial Department of Finance, provided a loan of RMB35 million to Huludao Jinhua Chemical (Group) Co., Ltd. Jinhua Chemical repaid only RMB8 million, leaving a balance of RMB27 million unpaid. Following the liquidation of Liaoning Trust and Investment Company, a "Debt Transfer Agreement" was signed with Northeast Electric. The People's Court of Heping District, Shenyang City, has scheduled a hearing for August 5, 2025. Northeast Electric plans to actively respond to the lawsuit, given that the statute of limitations may have expired under the Civil Law of the People's Republic of China. As of now, the company has no other undisclosed litigations or arbitrations.
