Over the last few months, Hesai reported several strategic milestones. Partnerships with MOVIN and Grab supported lidar deployment across motion capture and Southeast Asia markets, while NVIDIA selected Hesai as a lidar partner for DRIVE Hyperion 10. The company also highlighted global leadership in lidar patents and repeatedly notified investors about the March 3, 2026 shareholder meetings. Today’s approval of all proposed resolutions continues that governance and capital-structure narrative following the earlier EGM announcement on January 26, 2026.

This announcement confirms shareholder approval of all proposed resolutions, including re-designating 50,000,000 authorized shares as Class B ordinary shares, adopting a third amended and restated memorandum and articles, and granting 20% issuance and 10% repurchase mandates.
