GCL (Group) Holdings Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "GCL Group") is a green and low-carbon technology enterprise guided by the goals of carbon peak and carbon neutrality, with various forms of new energy, clean energy and renewable energy as its main body.Overthe past34 years,Leveraging the cutting-edgetechnology and digital empowerment, focusing on silicon materials, lithium materials, carbon materials and core integrated circuit materials to carry out energy technology innovation, drive manufacturing revolution and application revolutionthroughmaterial revolution, and promote energy revolution. In the responsetoaccelerate the construction of a new power system, GCL Group enables the digital and intelligent development of energy through the trinity ofelectricower + energy storage + computing power, realizes the coupling ofindustries covering source-grid-load-storage and charging-swamp-sales-computing accounting-inspection-cloud. For thatend, wehave launchedzero-carbonapplicaitonscenario solutions to the global market,andprovide comprehensive energy technology services to build a new energy system.

As of now, GCL Group’s assets have exceeded200 billion yuan and an annual operating incomehas reachednearly 200 billion yuan. It owns a number of A-share and H-share listed companies, including GCL Technology (03800.HK), GCLSystemIntegration Technology (002506.SZ), GCL New Energy Holdings Limited (00451.HK), and GCL Energy Technology Co.,Ltd. (002015.SZ), with more than 40,000 employees and more than 3,000 energy technology professionals. The company has been ranked among the top 500 global new energy companies and the top 500enterprises inChina’s new energy industry for many years. In 2024, it ranked 40th among the top 500 private enterprises in China and 50th among thetop500 most valuable brands in China.

GCL Group is theChairman of the Global Green Energy Council, theCo-Chairman of the Global Solar Council, theChairman of the Asian Photovoltaic Industry Association, and theViceChairman of the China Electricity Council. Every step of GCL's development in the new energy field is closely related to industry changes:

——In the field of silicon energy the original GCL method polysilicon technology has successfully broken the foreign monopoly, leading China's photovoltaic industry to bid farewell to the "three heads abroad", and pioneered and promoted the photovoltaic grid from high prices to parity and low prices.

——Independently developed FBR granular silicon technology, with the lowest carbon footprint in the world, opening a new era of photovoltaic material revolution and low-carbon application.

——In the field of perovskite, it has achieved two benchmark breakthroughs:the world's only large-area module and theindustry’s largest-size efficiency.

——GCL has a complete photovoltaic integrated industry chain and lithium battery energy storage industry chain from materials, manufacturing to application. At the same time, itmasters a series of disruptive hard-core technologies such as CCz,cathode andanode materials, and supramolecular deep eutectic electrolytes. It is the world's largest producer of UCChigh-purity silane gas.

——Undertake the "National Major Science and Technology 02 Special Project" and the "National Strong Foundation Project", successfully overcome the bottleneck technology of electronic-grade silicon materials, and is the first in China to systematically master the preparation technology of high-purity electronic-grade polysilicon for integrated circuits, andhas the largest scale andthe largestmarket share. In the field of 12-inch large silicon wafers and large wafers, GCL has the technical level of import substitution and is one of the few "Chinese chip" raw material manufacturers.

——China's earliest private power company, with a leading share of clean energy installed capacity in the industry, is at the forefront of innovative business areas such as virtual power plants, energy demand side management, third-party power sales, incremental distribution networks, and microgrids. It is the first in China to enter the field of energy computing power,with energy + AI synergy at the same time.

——Actively participating in the "Belt and Road" energy cooperation and lighting up the world with green electricity. Relying on itsabundant overseas natural gas resources in Ethiopia and domestic LNG receiving and operating channels, the integrated development of gas, hydrogen, ammonia, alcohol and electricity will promote the autonomy of Extra-large natural gas source and natural gas effective supply and reception application areas.

GCL Group adheres to the guidance of General Secretary Xi Jinping's new energy security strategy of "FourRevolutions andOneCooperation", listens andfollows the Communist Party of China, leads green development with the red genes, and practices Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought.GCLGrouphas a total of 16 party committees, 4 party general branches, 115 party branches, and more than 3,500 party members. Theparty committee and its affiliated party organizations have repeatedly won the titles of national power system party building brand influence enterprise, provincial "advanced grassroots party organization", and provincial "two new" organization party building work demonstration points.

GCL Group adheres to the concept of "Bringing greenpowerto life", focuses on the strategic goal of "Technology GCL, Digital GCL, Green GCL", is market-oriented, customer-centric, and continues to strive with a fighting spirit to cultivate new quality productivity and enable high-quality development. Strive to move towards the goal of "becoming a respected global new energy and clean energy enterprise", and realize the GCL dream of "GCLisstrong, GCL employees are rich, and social praise".
