Dongli Machinery: The company is actively seeking projects that align with its strategic direction.

Securities Daily Online News: On February 26, Dongli Machinery responded to investor questions on the interactive platform, stating that the company is actively seeking projects that align with its strategic direction, such as high-quality enterprises in motor control, planetary reducers, rubber, air springs, and high-performance spiral springs. The company adheres to a prudent and steady approach, adopting a “cooperate first, then merge” strategy. That is, after initial contact, the company first establishes a cooperative relationship, conducts in-depth investigation and evaluation through practical collaboration, fully verifies the strategic value and synergy effects of the target enterprise, and only considers mergers and acquisitions once all conditions are mature and risks are controllable. This approach aims to ensure precise decision-making and effectively prevent potential investment risks and misjudgments. If the company plans to pursue mergers and acquisitions in the future, it will strictly comply with relevant laws, regulations, and stock exchange supervision requirements, and fulfill its information disclosure obligations in a timely, accurate, and complete manner.
