As of the date of this reply, there are no judicial freezing marks on the pledged shares. Besides the aforementioned execution case applied by GuoTong Trust to the People’s Court of Dongxihu District, there are no other disputes involving the pledged shares.

(2) Risk exposure assessment of pledged shares and impact on equity structure

  1. Debt situation

In addition to the aforementioned 280 million yuan debt, Ningbo Hanyi also owes 50 million yuan to GuoTong Trust and 35 million yuan to China CITIC Bank. Specific situations are as follows:

(1) In August 2025, Ningbo Hanyi applied for a trust loan of 50 million yuan from GuoTong Trust and pledged 14.5 million shares of Liangpinpuzi (see the announcement “Liangpinpuzi Announcement on the Pledge and Release of Shares by Controlling Shareholder” disclosed by the Company on August 14, 2025, Announcement No. 2025-035), with a loan term not exceeding 12 months, for the purpose of refinancing Guangfa Securities. On October 17, 2025, Ningbo Hanyi received an “Early Repayment Notice” from GuoTong Trust, with the main content stating that the trust client issued a written instruction to GuoTong Trust on October 17, 2025, announcing that all loans would mature on October 27, 2025, and Ningbo Hanyi should repay all principal and interest of the trust loan to GuoTong Trust by October 27, 2025. As of now, GuoTong Trust has not filed a lawsuit regarding this due debt.

(2) In July 2023, Ningbo Hanyi applied for a loan of 45 million yuan from the Wuhan branch of China CITIC Bank, pledging 5.7 million shares of Liangpinpuzi (see the announcement “Liangpinpuzi Announcement on the Pledge and Release of Shares by Controlling Shareholder” disclosed by the Company on July 13, 2023, Announcement No. 2023-042), and later pledged an additional 1.1 million shares and 1.2 million shares on June 20, 2024, and August 2, 2024, respectively (see the announcements disclosed by the Company on June 22, 2024, and August 6, 2024, Announcement No. 2024-023, 2024-028), with a total of 8 million shares pledged. This debt matured in January 2025. In June 2025, Ningbo Hanyi repaid 10 million yuan of the principal, leaving a remaining loan principal of 35 million yuan. As of now, the Wuhan branch of China CITIC Bank has not filed a lawsuit regarding this due debt.

(3) Current debt status and share pledge situation

  1. Existing repayment arrangements of the controlling shareholder and actual controller

Ningbo Hanyi is prioritizing the sale of some of its shares in the Company to repay the debt, and is actively communicating with its creditor GuoTong Trust to seek a settlement regarding debt extension and other matters.

  1. Risk exposure assessment of the pledged shares involved in the execution

Unit: Yuan

Note: 1. The stock price in the above table uses the closing price of Liangpinpuzi on February 6, 2026. 2. The amount in the execution subject includes interest, so it will increase as the debt period extends.

For the 280 million yuan debt involved in this execution, based on Liangpinpuzi’s closing price of 12.00 yuan on February 6, 2026, the current market value of the pledged shares exceeds the execution amount by approximately 360 million yuan, which can cover the related debts of the execution subject, and there is currently no risk exposure. If calculated at the critical point of risk exposure (when the market value of the pledged shares equals the execution amount), when the stock price is below 5.25 yuan/share, there will be a risk exposure for the pledged shares.

  1. Impact on the equity structure of the listed company

If Ningbo Hanyi cannot reach a settlement with GuoTong Trust for the debt extension, or if Ningbo Hanyi and its concerted actions do not manage to repay the debt by transferring part of their shares during the extension, and if there are no other assets available for execution from Ningbo Hanyi, there is a risk that the shares held by Ningbo Hanyi in the Company could be enforced, which may lead to a passive decrease in the number of shares held by Ningbo Hanyi. Based on Liangpinpuzi’s closing price of 12.00 yuan on February 6, 2026, to pay off the execution subject amount of 280,597,777.78 yuan would require executing approximately 5.83% of the shares held by Ningbo Hanyi in Liangpinpuzi, reducing the proportion of shares held by Ningbo Hanyi and its concerted actions from 38.22% to 32.39%, while Ningbo Hanyi would still remain the controlling shareholder of the Company; if the execution price is below 12.00 yuan, the proportion of shares held by Ningbo Hanyi and its concerted actions would further decrease.

If Ningbo Hanyi or the actual controller repays the debt by transferring their holdings of listed company shares, they will be required to inform the listed company in a timely manner and fulfill the information disclosure obligations in accordance with regulations.

(3) Self-examination of prior information disclosure

According to the “Stock Listing Rules of the Shanghai Stock Exchange” 4.5.3, “If a court’s ruling prohibits the transfer of its held shares, or if more than 5% of its shares in the Company are pledged, frozen, marked by the judiciary, judicially auctioned, entrusted, set in trust, or legally restricted from voting rights, or there is a risk of compulsory transfer,” the controlling shareholder and actual controller should promptly inform the listed company and cooperate with the company to fulfill the information disclosure obligations.

In accordance with the aforementioned regulatory rules, the Company has reviewed the disclosure situation regarding the shares pledged by the controlling shareholder Ningbo Hanyi as follows:

In summary, Ningbo Hanyi and the actual controller have timely fulfilled their information disclosure obligations regarding the pledge, freezing, judicial marking of their shares, and the receipt of court execution notices, and there are no undisclosed matters or instances of untimely or inaccurate disclosure.

  1. Regarding the stability of the Company’s control. According to the announcement, if the pledged shares held by Ningbo Hanyi are enforced, it will lead to changes in the equity held by Ningbo Hanyi in the Company. As of now, the number of shares held by Ningbo Hanyi accounts for 35.23% of the Company’s total share capital, while the combined holdings of Ningbo Hanyi and its concerted actions Liangpin Investment account for 38.22% of the Company’s total share capital. The Company is requested to fully assess and explain whether the shares held by the listed company may face risks of pledge liquidation, judicial auction, etc., due to debt repayment, and whether there is a risk of change or instability in the Company’s control.

Response:

(1) Debt and asset status of the controlling shareholder and actual controller

Currently, the overall debt status and share pledge situation of Ningbo Hanyi are as follows:

In addition to the pledged equity from the aforementioned financing, Ningbo Hanyi has been judicially frozen 2,090,584 shares due to a share transfer dispute case by the Intermediate People’s Court of Guangzhou City, accounting for 1.48% of its holdings in the Company and 0.52% of the total share capital of the Company.

Ningbo Hanyi and its concerted actions Ningbo Liangpin have cumulatively pledged and frozen 77,990,584 shares, accounting for 50.89% of their holdings and 19.45% of the total share capital of the Company. Specific situations are as follows:

(2) Assessment of the risk of pledge liquidation, judicial auction, and whether there is a change or instability risk in the Company’s control

As previously assessed, regarding the 280 million yuan debt of Ningbo Hanyi to GuoTong Trust involved in this execution notice, if Ningbo Hanyi can reach a settlement with GuoTong Trust regarding the debt extension, this matter will not affect the position of the controlling shareholder.

If Ningbo Hanyi cannot reach a settlement with GuoTong Trust regarding debt extension, or if during the extension period Ningbo Hanyi and its concerted actions fail to repay the debt by transferring part of their shares, and if there are no other assets available for enforcement from Ningbo Hanyi, there is a risk that the shares held by Ningbo Hanyi in the Company could be enforced, leading to a passive decrease in the number of shares held by Ningbo Hanyi, with the extent of decrease mainly determined by the price of the enforced shares.

Regarding Ningbo Hanyi’s total overdue debt of 365 million yuan, if the shares held by Ningbo Hanyi in the Company are enforced, the proportion of shares held by Ningbo Hanyi and its concerted actions will further decrease.

  1. The Company requests its controlling shareholder Ningbo Hanyi, actual controllers Yang Hongchun, Yang Yinfeng, and Zhang Guoqiang to carefully assess the risks of instability in the Company’s control that may arise from share pledges and overdue debts, strengthen communication and negotiation with pledgees and related parties, take effective countermeasures, and properly resolve related debt issues. If any judicial execution matters occur with the shares held by the related shareholders, they should promptly fulfill their information disclosure obligations and fully alert relevant risks.

Response:

Ningbo Hanyi immediately communicated and negotiated with its creditor GuoTong Trust upon receiving the court’s restoration of execution notice, striving to resolve the debt at the earliest to protect the legitimate rights and interests of creditors and the stability of the listed company. Ningbo Hanyi will also continue to communicate effectively with creditors and their investors to seek a settlement for debt extension and avoid the forced execution of shares of the listed company.

At the same time, the Company has reminded its controlling shareholder Ningbo Hanyi and actual controllers Mr. Yang Hongchun, Mr. Yang Yinfeng, and Mr. Zhang Guoqiang that if Ningbo Hanyi’s shares in the Company are subject to judicial execution and other matters in the future, they should promptly fulfill their information disclosure obligations.
