(“GreatStar”) to act as the Depositary Bank for their Global Depositary Receipt (“GDR”)

William Wang, Chairman of Sunwoda Electronic Co., Ltd said: “The successful offering of Sunwoda’s GDRs illustrates the continuous attention and support from global investors to outstanding Chinese enterprises in the new energy industry. The investors’ active participation
also demonstrates their recognition of the high-speed and high-quality development of Sunwoda’s business. In addition, this GDR offering is an important milestone in Sunwoda’s globalization strategy, which will further improve Sunwoda’s global production and supply chain,
enhance our international operations, reinforce our global brand image, and achieve sustainable development. We will continue to leverage both domestic and international capital markets to strengthen our business and enhance our brand as a world-leading new energy enterprise.”

Hangzhou GreatStar Industrial Co., Ltd.

Mr. Qiu Jianping, Chairman of Greatstar, said: “I am pleased to successfully complete the GDR offering in such a short time, and really appreciate the support and recognition of our investors. The successful GDR offering is an important milestone to successfully onboarding and
accessing the global capital market. It not only broadens the company’s financing channel and supplements our business funding needs, but also accelerates our international expansion and provides new opportunities to enhance the company’s reputation and influence in the global market.

I also believe our strong R&D capability, strengthened global supply chain system, wellestablished market channels, and improving brand influence will continue to promote the company’s high-quality development, and will provide a satisfactory return on investment to our trusted investors.“

This continues our role as the depositary bank for all the Connect GDR programs listed so far, including five listed on the London Stock Exchange and seven listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange” said Dirk Jones, Global Head of Citi’s Issuer Services.

“Citi’s cross-regional capabilities, global network, the ability to enhance investor access, and our experience gained from the previous Connect GDR programs will serve these issuers well.
