I. The Company shall, based on the principle of materiality, disclose major changes in the Company’s operating situation during the reporting period, and matters that occurred during the reporting period that had a major impact on the Company’s operating situation and are expected to have a major impact in the future.

In 2025, the global economy moved forward amid turmoil and interwoven structural reshaping. Recovery momentum remained insufficient, and geopolitical conflicts kept flaring up. Overall, the economy showed the operating characteristics of “weak recovery, high volatility, and multiple challenges.” Faced with an unfavorable international environment, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council implemented precise measures, and the domestic economy’s positive rebound trend continued to be firmly consolidated. China’s capital market demonstrated strong resilience. The SSE Composite Index cumulatively rose 18.41%, marking the largest annual increase in six years. Trading activity in the market improved significantly. Annual trading value for the first time exceeded RMB 400 trillion, setting a historical record high. The securities industry entered a period of deep transformation, with mergers and acquisitions and integrations moving forward in depth. Leading brokerages joined forces to reshape the competitive landscape. AI technology penetrated comprehensively, driving innovations in business development and an efficiency revolution. New rules were introduced for categorized evaluation, guiding the industry to shift from scale expansion to quality improvement and differentiated development. The main theme of high-quality development in the industry became increasingly clear.

At this key stage where market opportunities and industry transformation intertwined, the Company remained true to its original aspiration of “serving the country through finance and finance for the people,” firmly grasping an important window of market opportunities and differentiated and specialized development. It continued to carry out in-depth education and learning on implementing the Central Committee’s eight-point requirements, and pushed forward comprehensive and strict Party governance in depth. Guided by the new three-year strategic plan, it implemented the spirit of the Company’s early-year work meeting, upheld benchmarking against advanced peers and aiming for excellence. It resolved development challenges through reform, enhanced development drivers through transformation, and achieved a favorable situation with major indicators surging, breakthroughs at multiple points in core businesses, a continuously strengthened high-quality development framework, and a significant increase in operating performance. This laid a solid foundation for completing the Company’s strategic planning.

The plan aims to build a “three strengths” coordinated mechanism featuring headquarters-driven force, policy penetration, and branch carrying capacity. It deeply integrates frontier financial technology techniques with the advantages of traditional brokerage business. It is anchored on the main line of “buyer-side investment advisory,”推动东方证券财富管理业务从“产品销售导向”向“客户价值创造导向”全面转型,奋力建设以专业投顾能力为根基,以数字化运营为支撑,以组织效能优化为保障的财富管理业务体系,持续提升客户服务体验与综合金融服务能力。

In terms of customer development.

It built the core operational capabilities of digitization and intelligence, and optimized the classified, tiered customer service system. As of the end of the reporting period, the Company had 170 securities sub-entities, covering 31 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the central government.

(2) Investment Advisory (投顾) Business

In 2025, the scale of fund investment advisory business maintained steady growth. Investors’ behavior became more rational, and the overall investment experience improved significantly. At the same time, the stock market performance diverged, further driving demand for securities investment advisory services, and investment advisory institutions continued to optimize their professional capability in “investing” and their service experience in “advising.” During the reporting period, the Company established an investment advisory專班, and, under the premise of prudent compliance, advanced a new dual-wheel-driven model of “fund investment advisory + products” and “securities investment advisory + trading.”

It also conducts private equity investment business through its wholly owned subsidiary, Orient Securities Capital.

(1) Broker-dealer Asset Management Business

In 2025, the A-share market went through a slow bull market driven primarily by technology growth. The bond market experienced significant adjustments and continued to trade with persistent volatility. The high-quality development of the public fund industry continued to advance. A series of fundamental changes reshaped the industry ecosystem, prompting industry institutions to firmly establish a business philosophy centered on investors’ best interests. The industry is entering a new wave of compliance governance and transformation development. The “stocks-and-bonds seesaw” effect drove reallocation of household assets and institutional funds. The trend showed that capital shifted from deposits and traditional fixed-income products toward equity markets, “fixed income+,” public REITs, convertible bonds, and other diversified assets.

During the reporting period, Orient Securities Asset Management actively responded to industry changes and market competition. It adhered to the “second start-up” transformation direction, proactively integrated into the “big wealth” strategic layout of Oriental Securities, focused on investment performance, and promoted the dual-wheel drive of broker-dealer asset management and public fund businesses with products, investment research, and sales as the main line.

During the reporting period, multiple products of Orient Securities Asset Management achieved standout issuance results, and its ongoing marketing efforts reached a new stage, driving management scale to stabilize and rebound. 东方红核心价值 raised RMB 1.991 billion, the first batch of floating-fee-rate funds that were able to trigger the fundraising scale cap and close upon completion. 东方红盈丰 FOF raised over RMB 6.5 billion, the FOF product with the largest initial issuance scale among those launched in the past three years as of the end of the reporting period, and also the public fund with the largest issuance scale during the reporting period. 东方红裕丰回报, 东方红港股通高股息, and other products also achieved good issuance performance.

(2) Fund Management Business

In 2025, as capital market reforms continued to deepen, the pace of medium- and long-term funds entering the market accelerated, and the market ecosystem improved further. Under the guidance of the《Action Plan for Promoting the High-Quality Development of Public Funds》, the public fund industry comprehensively shifted toward an operating paradigm oriented to investor returns, and industry asset management scale continued to grow. According to statistics from the China Securities Investment Fund Industry Association, as of the end of December 2025, the net asset values of public funds managed by public fund management institutions amounted to RMB 37.71 trillion, up 15% from the end of the prior year.

By upgrading to digital intelligence, improving compliance and risk control management, and strengthening the full-scale construction of professional talent pipelines, it will achieve a leapfrog development toward a first-class investment institution.

(3) Private Equity Investment Funds

In 2025, China’s domestic capital market was shaken and stabilized amid policy support and structural transformation. Market sentiment became more rational, and the valuation system was reshaped. The primary equity investment market needs to precisely grasp industry certainty amid complex macro variables. It should explore structural opportunities amid challenges and seize the time opportunity of a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation.

During the reporting period, Orient Securities Capital deepened its “harmony with differences” platform strategy, focusing on two core areas: technological innovation and M&A restructuring, stepping up efforts.

1、Investment Banking

The Company mainly engages in investment banking business through its investment banking management committee and its subordinate first-tier departments, as well as the fixed-income business headquarters.

(1) Equity Financing Business

In 2025, the A-share market generated new momentum as policy dividends continued to be released. The IPO regulatory policy shifted from “strict control on the number of issuances” to “increasing incremental issuances with improved quality,” and differentiated reviews became more prominent. Support for listing companies of hard technology, those specializing in niche areas (“专精特新”), and unprofitable enterprises continued to increase. The A-share primary market’s total financing scale for the full year amounted to RMB 108.2636 billion, up 273% year-on-year from last year. Equity financing showed “stable volume and increasing amount,” with steady release of normal financing demand.

According to Wind statistics, during the reporting period the Company completed 15 A-share equity financing projects, ranking 7th in the industry. Among them, there were 5 IPO projects as lead underwriter, and 10 projects for additional fundraising. The total amount as lead underwriter was RMB 11.048 billion, ranking 11th in the industry.

Monetary policy continued with an “appropriately loose” stance, and fiscal policy exerted effort early, creating a favorable policy environment for the credit bond market. Combined with intensified support for science and technology innovation bonds policies, credit bond issuance scale expanded steadily, and net financing amounts grew significantly. In terms of market institutions, the effect of leading players was evident. Leading brokerages held dominant positions in areas such as credit bonds and technology innovation bonds, while banks formed differentiated competition by leveraging advantages in underwriting rate bonds and local government bonds.

For interest rate bonds, the Company continued to rank among the industry leaders. During the reporting period, the Company’s total underwriting amount of interest rate bonds grew 70% year-on-year. Among them, as one of only two brokerage underwriting entities among the category of bookkeeping-based interest-bearing government bond Class A underwriters, the Company underwrote more than RMB 340 billion of bookkeeping-based interest-bearing government bonds, and the share of special bonds exceeded 21%. This particularly supported the implementation of the “two key initiatives” (two-heavy initiatives) and “two new initiatives” (two-new policies). The Company’s business ranking moved steadily. It ranked first among brokerages in underwriting bookkeeping-based interest-bearing government bonds, development bank bonds (国开行), and financial bonds of agricultural development banks. In addition, the Company leveraged its strengths and proactively participated in the underwriting of technology innovation bonds by policy banks, helping the China Development Bank achieve a successful first issuance of its technology innovation bonds; its underwriting volume ranked among the top brokerages, and through concrete actions it strengthened support for the funding needs of technology innovation purposes and drove down financing costs.

On the other hand, it will focus on regional high-quality client segments, strengthen coverage of national key strategic regions, and use its bond business to build a solid base in scale. It will use ABS and REITs as new growth tracks to expand growth space and drive the steady rise of the Company’s overall business scale and core competitiveness.

(3) Financial Advisory Business

In recent years, as a series of policies supporting listed-company M&A and restructuring were gradually released—such as the new “Nine Articles of the State Council” (新“国九条”), “Eight Articles for the Science and Technology Innovation Board” (科创板八条), and “Six Articles for M&A” (并购六条)—the A-share M&A and restructuring market has become increasingly active. In 2025, the number of M&A transactions with a first disclosure of restructuring plans and drafts was over 140 and 120, respectively, far exceeding the same period last year. The M&A and restructuring market for A-share listed companies is recovering.

The Company attaches great importance to financial advisory services related to M&A restructuring. It focuses on “hard technology” asset targets with core technologies, guides listed companies to actively carry out M&A and integration along upstream and downstream industry chains, and takes multiple measures to increase business scale and improve rankings.

In addition, the Company also assisted multiple listed companies in restructuring M&A related to new quality productive forces, industrial M&A, and cross-border M&A, involving multiple industries such as components, chemicals, and finance.

In the future, the Company will focus on science and technology innovation M&A and industrial M&A, and place particular emphasis on M&A transactions with a certain transaction scale and market influence. In addition, it will actively expand into innovative business areas such as financial advisory for transfers of controlling rights of listed companies and financial advisory for bankruptcy reorganization, and thereby prioritize obtaining business opportunities for future capital operations by listed companies. It will pay attention to internationalization needs of high-quality listed company clients and, through domestic and overseas coordination, meet clients’ overseas market financing needs and global strategy layout needs.

2、Alternative Investment

The Company mainly carries out alternative investment business through its wholly owned subsidiary, Orient Securities Innovation.

In 2025, under the dual-wheel drive of policy guidance and market mechanisms, the alternative investment market placed even more emphasis on deep industry integration, refined risk management, and long-term value extraction, presenting a competitive landscape where opportunities and challenges coexist for professional institutions. In the primary equity investment market, the structure-based rebound emerged. Funds continued to concentrate on national strategy areas such as hard technology, advanced manufacturing, and green low-carbon. The investment logic shifted from pursuing single financial returns to industrial synergy and value co-creation. In the special assets investment market, there was broad space given ongoing supply-side release, and business opportunities increased significantly. At the same time, higher requirements were set for asset pricing, restructuring operation and playbook execution, and cross-cycle management capabilities of investment institutions.

In the equity investment business, it continued to implement “invest early, invest small, invest long-term, invest hard technology,” contributing to national industrial upgrading and strengthening the foundation and filling supply gaps.

On the other hand, within the group’s overall strategy, it will position its own value more precisely, realizing deep coordination with the parent company’s business and bi-directional value empowerment.
