New major risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 90% of Chinese stocks, typically moving 10% a week. This is considered a major risk. Share price volatility increases the risk of potential losses in the short-term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. It may also indicate the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (10% average weekly change). Earnings have declined by 2.3% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Large one-off items impacting financial results. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (5.6% net profit margin). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (20% increase in shares outstanding). Announcement • May 28
Union Semiconductor (Hefei) Co., Ltd. (SHSE:688403) announces an Equity Buyback for CNY 120 million worth of its shares. Union Semiconductor (Hefei) Co., Ltd. (SHSE:688403) announces a share repurchase program. Under the program, the company will repurchase up to CNY 120 million worth of its class A shares. The shares will be repurchased at a price of not more than CNY 27.71 per share. The program will be funded from own Funds and Special Repurchase Loans.

Dividend of CN¥0.05 announced Shareholders will receive a dividend of CN¥0.05. Ex-date: 20th May 2026 Payment date: 20th May 2026 Dividend yield will be 0.2%, which is lower than the industry average of 1.7%. Sustainability & Growth Dividend is covered by both earnings (46% earnings payout ratio) and cash flows (54% cash payout ratio). The dividend has decreased over the past 26 years, indicating a lack of growth and stability in payments. The company's earnings per share (EPS) would need to decline by 49% to shift the payout ratio to a potentially unsustainable range, which is more than the 8.3% EPS decline seen over the last 5 years. New Risk • May 06
New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 2.3% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings have declined by 2.3% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (8.1% average weekly change). Large one-off items impacting financial results. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (5.6% net profit margin). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (20% increase in shares outstanding). New Risk • Apr 28
New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 17% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (8.2% average weekly change). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (17% increase in shares outstanding). Announcement • Mar 30

New major risk - Earnings quality The company has a high level of non-cash earnings. Accrual ratio: 23% This is considered a major risk. Non-cash earnings can arise from many different things. However, if a company consistently has a high level of non-cash earnings, it may be a sign that they are recognizing revenue from customers before the full value of the sales are received as cash or they are not depreciating the value of their assets appropriately. These are practices that inflate earnings, while not providing a similar increase to cash flows. Companies in some select industries naturally have a high level of non-cash earnings and it is not a major concern. However, in the worst case scenario it can be an early sign of performance manipulation by management. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk High level of non-cash earnings (23% accrual ratio). Minor Risk Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (6.9% average weekly change). Reported Earnings • Aug 12
