The New Loan replaced the previous loan with Bank of China, which had an outstanding balance of RMB
405 million as of July 21, 2025 and an original maturity date of November 7, 2028. The refinancing provides improved terms and is expected to generate significant cash flow benefits, including approximately RMB 195 million in
available liquidity and reduced principal repayment and interest expenses of approximately RMB 73 million over the next year and RMB 225 million over the next three years. Excess proceeds are expected to be used to support the continued
development of Nam Tai Technology Center and unlock value at Nam Tai Inno Valley.
Nam Tai Longxi General Contractor Dispute
In July 2025, the Company received a notice from Shenzhen Guangshengda Construction Co., Ltd. (“Guangshengda”) regarding the assignment of claims
for Nam Tai Longxi project under its general construction contract to Shenzhen Weiyueda Mechanical & Electrical Installation Engineering Co., Ltd. (“Weiyueda”). The Company responded in August 2025, disputing and refusing
to acknowledge the validity of such assignment. The Company believes the assignment is invalid due to, among other reasons, Guangshengda’s failure to fully perform its post-warranty maintenance obligations, which has led to customer complaints
and potential group disputes; the ongoing and unresolved final project settlement process, which includes potential claims for liquidated damages against Guangshengda for project delays; and Guangshengda’s failure to issue the full amount of
required invoices for the project.
In late August 2025, 54 residential units of the project were frozen by a court order following a pre-litigation asset preservation application filed by Weiyueda.
In September 2025, the Company filed a jurisdictional
challenge, arguing that the case should be heard by a court in Shenzhen, which is currently under review by the court. The Company has also applied to substitute the frozen assets, specifically the pre-sold
properties, with other unencumbered assets. Such an application has not been approved as the plaintiff, Weiyueda, objected.
In October 2025,
Weiyueda’s legal counsel proposed a potential settlement involving the transfer of properties in lieu of cash payment. This proposal was reviewed by the Company but no agreement was reached.
In January 2026, the case held its initial hearing and remains under court review.
Nam Tai Longxi Property Services Dispute
The
Company is involved in litigation with Dongguan Kaisa Property Management Co., Ltd. (“Dongguan Kaisa Property”), the initial property management service provider for Nam Tai Longxi project, the construction of which was
substantially completed in 2022.
In October 2024, as part of the abovementioned Settlement with Greater Sail Ltd. (“GSL”), the Company
entered into a settlement agreement with Dongguan Kaisa Property to terminate the property management contract for Nam Tai Longxi project and change the property management company with the assistance of Dongguan Kaisa Property. However,
Dongguan Kaisa Property render such assistance or vacate the property management premises. However, Dongguan Kaisa Property did not vacate, and filed a lawsuit against the Company later in 2025.
In August 2025, Dongguan Kaisa Property obtained a pre-litigation preservation order from the court, freezing two
residential units of the Nam Tai Longxi project and approximately RMB 0.16 million in the Company’s bank accounts. In October 2025, the Company obtained Dongguan Kaisa Property’s statement of claim, which seeks payment of
approximately RMB 1.09 million in property management fees for vacant residential units and parking units from November 2024 to May 2025, plus fees of approximately RMB 2.2 million for vacant commercial units from September 2023 to May
2025, totaling approximately RMB 3.43 million, inclusive of late payment interest.
In November 2025, in response to Dongguan Kaisa Property’s
actions, the Company initiated arbitration with the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) against GSL and Kaisa.
On January 21,
2026, the Company and the Kaisa-affiliated parties executed a supplemental agreement to the Settlement. Pursuant to this supplemental agreement, the parties have submitted applications to withdraw the Dongguan litigation, to lift all related
preservation measures, and to withdraw the ICC arbitration. Dongguan Kaisa Property has also undertaken that it will not pursue any claims for property management service fees incurred on or before December 31, 2025.
