Zhuzhou Zhongshan Electric Co., Ltd. (Time Electric) announced on March 28, 2024 that the sixth meeting of its 7th Board of Directors has approved the 2024 External Guarantee Program. The program aims to address the underfunding of the wholly-owned subsidiary, the high cost of financing, and to make full use of the company's existing overseas financing platform. The Company plans to provide collateral of no more than RMB5 billion to the four wholly-owned subsidiaries to support loans, warranties, lease and equipment purchases, etc. As of December 31, 2023, the Company's actual secured balance for the wholly-owned subsidiary was RMB2.26 billion. This guarantee scheme is not subject to submission to the General Meeting and the Company has no overdue external collateral. The Board considers this move to help reduce financing costs, expand the scope of the business and ensure the smooth running of the company.
