The reporting person holds the stake for the purpose of influencing management as the largest shareholder and CEO, and stated that there are currently no specific plans for changes in management control such as director appointment or capital changes.
[AI Summary]This disclosure is a routine report with no change in the largest shareholder's stake, only a slight decrease in shares under major contracts due to pledge modifications and borrowing repayment, thus having limited direct impact on the stock price. However, the high pledge ratio (14.20%) remains a potential risk factor; a future decline in stock price could lead to margin calls, putting pressure on management control.
