Yesterday

Estun Automation Co., Ltd. has released its 2025 AGM circular outlining key financial metrics and proposals to be tabled on 21 May 2026 in Nanjing.

Financial performance • Under Chinese Accounting Standards, the parent company recorded a net loss of RMB69.23 million, while consolidated net profit attributable to shareholders reached RMB44.97 million. • Accumulated consolidated undistributed profit stood at –RMB93.48 million, meaning the statutory conditions for dividend distribution were not met.

Profit distribution • The Board proposes no cash dividend, bonus share or capitalisation issue for 2025, citing negative accumulated profits and funding needs for future growth.

Capital structure • Following the March 2026 H-share listing (96.78 million shares), total share capital will rise from 871.02 million to 967.80 million shares and registered capital to RMB967.80 million, pending shareholder approval.

Financing and treasury • The company and its subsidiaries intend to secure integrated credit lines of up to RMB9.35 billion for 2026, including guarantees capped at RMB870 million. • Up to RMB800 million of idle self-owned funds may be deployed for short-term, low-to-medium risk cash-management products, on a rolling basis within a 12-month horizon.

Mandates • A general mandate to issue new A and/or H shares up to 20 % of issued capital and a separate mandate to repurchase up to 10 % of each class of shares during the mandate period will be sought. • Repurchased H shares may be cancelled or held as treasury stock.

Auditors • KPMG has been appointed international auditor for FY-2025 with a fee of RMB2.30 million and is proposed for re-appointment in 2026, with an estimated fee of RMB3.50 million. • ZhongHui Certified Public Accountants LLP is proposed for re-appointment as domestic auditor for 2026, with an expected fee between RMB1.22 million and RMB1.42 million.

Remuneration • Executive remuneration for 2025 ranged from RMB0 to RMB1.21 million; independent directors received RMB75,000–RMB125,000. • For 2026, independent directors will receive an annual RMB150,000; other directors will continue to be remunerated according to management roles. A new Remuneration Management Policy for directors and senior management will be voted on.

Shareholder returns • A three-year dividend return plan (2026-2028) sets a minimum cash‐dividend payout of no less than 30 % of average distributable profit over the period, subject to profitability and capital needs.

Meeting logistics • Shareholders of record on 21 May 2026 may vote at the AGM; the register closes 15–21 May 2026.
