The reporter stated that as a major shareholder and executive, the purpose is to influence management, but there are no specific plans at present. If matters related to business execution arise in the future, appropriate shareholder actions will be considered within the legal framework.

[AI Summary]The insider's open market purchase and stake increase is a positive signal, but with 90% of held shares pledged, the position is vulnerable to price fluctuations. While the management influence purpose remains, the lack of concrete plans limits near-term catalysts, and the pledge risk represents a potential downside factor for shareholders.
