Tongling Tongfeng Precision Technology Co., LTD. (hereinafter referred to as "Tongfeng Precision"), the company's holding company, filed a civil lawsuit with Tongguan District People's Court of Tongling City (hereinafter referred to as "Tongguan District Court") in August 2020 on the ground that its shareholder Kunshan Longmeng Electronic Technology Co., LTD. (hereinafter referred to as "Longmeng Electronics") had harmed the interests of the company. The case has been heard in Tongguan District Court on December 9, 2020, and has yet to be decided. The lawsuit is hereby announced as follows:

 

I. Introduction to the background of this lawsuit

In March 2017, Tongling Tongfeng Optoelectronic Technology Co., LTD. (hereinafter referred to as "Tongfeng Optoelectronic"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company, and Jiangsu Jinglian Electronic Technology Co., LTD jointly funded the establishment of Tongfeng Precision, with Tongfeng Optoelectronic accounting for 85.42% of the registered capital. On July 3, 2019, in order to further expand the business scale, after deliberation and approval at the fourth meeting of the eighth Board of Directors of the company, Tongfeng Precision introduced its shareholder Longmeng Electronics in the way of capital increase and share increase. Longmeng Electronics invested 15 million yuan with fixed assets and acquired 27.72% of the equity after the capital increase. Upon completion of the capital increase, Tongfeng OptoElectronics holds 61.74% of the equity of Tongfeng Precision (for details, please refer to the Company's announcements published in designated information disclosure media on March 11, 2017 and July 4, 2019).

According to the Cooperation Agreement signed by "Tongfeng Precision" and "Longmeng Electronics", after the completion of the above capital increase, the customer relationship of "Longmeng Electronics" will be gradually transferred to "Tongfeng Precision". Since the transfer of customer relationship takes time, in order to ensure the continuity and stability of customer orders during the process of customer relationship transfer, in September 2019, after deliberation and approval at the sixth meeting of the eighth Board of Directors of the Company, "Tongfeng Precision" decided to continue to entrust "Longmeng Electronics" to supply to the original customer. All sales prices are priced according to the fair market price (for details, see the Company's announcement published in the designated information disclosure media on September 18, 2019).

Later, due to the fact that the proceeds of Longmeng Electronic sales were not fully refunded to Tongfeng Precision, the accumulated debt amounted to 19 million yuan by July 31, 2020, and the amount due was 17,030,800 yuan. In August 2020, Tongfeng Precision filed a lawsuit with Tongguan District Court on the grounds that Longmeng Electronics harmed the interests of the company. Longmeng Electronics filed an appeal on the grounds of objection to jurisdiction during the filing of the defense. In November 2020, Tongguan District Court rejected Longmeng Electronics' appeal request to transfer the case to Kunshan People's Court for trial with the civil decision No. 57 (2020) Wan 07 People's Jurisdiction Final decision, and upheld the original ruling.
