Detailed Transaction Overview

Background

PT Flexlogis Investment is a strategic joint venture of EDA Group, focusing on logistics solutions in Indonesia. The company, together with its subsidiaries, currently operates five overseas warehouses spanning approximately 30,000 square meters. The new funding is expected to facilitate the acquisition and development of an additional 50,000 square meters of land for warehouse construction in 2026, with a total estimated investment of RMB 60 million.

• Interest Rate: 5.0% per annum

• Repayment: Lump sum of principal plus accrued interest at maturity; early repayment permitted upon request
• Use of Funds: Acquisition/construction of logistics facilities in Indonesia; operating expenses and working capital

• Interest Rate: 5.0% per annum, calculated from each withdrawal date
• Term: Effective date to 1 March 2031

Ownership Structure and Strategic Fit

PT Flexlogis Investment is owned as follows:

• 48.35% by FLEXLOGIS PRIVATE LIMITED (an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of EDA)
• 0.49% by EDA CLOUD Company Limited (a wholly-owned subsidiary of EDA)
• 51.16% by Beijing Li Qian Technologies Company Limited, which is 100% owned by Hubei Ezhou EDA Cloud Enterprise Management Partnership. EDA Technology (Ezhou) Company Limited, another EDA subsidiary, holds a material interest in this partnership, giving EDA effective control.

The borrower’s financials (unaudited, year ended 31 December 2025) show total assets of RMB 99.24 million, net assets of RMB 99.07 million, and a net loss of RMB 1.37 million, reflecting the capital-intensive and early-stage nature of the logistics expansion.

Strategic Rationale and Shareholder Impact

The Board believes the loans will support PT Flexlogis Investment’s operational and strategic expansion in Southeast Asia’s logistics and e-commerce infrastructure, which is expected to generate returns for the Group. EDA’s risk controls (inspection rights, early repayment clauses, and fund supervision) are designed to protect shareholder value.

Given the scale of the transaction (total principal exceeding RMB 68.6 million across both loans), its strategic cross-border nature, and the regulatory disclosure trigger, the news is potentially price sensitive. Shareholders should closely monitor further operational updates and potential financial impacts as the Indonesian logistics platform develops.

Listing Rules and Compliance

The transactions under both loan agreements are aggregated under Rules 14.22 and 14.23 of the HK Listing Rules. As the applicable percentage ratios exceed 5% but are less than 25%, the transaction is classified as discloseable, requiring notification and public announcement. This level of transparency underscores the significance of the deal.

Conclusion

EDA Group Holdings’ major new commitment to its Indonesian logistics joint venture is a clear sign of its growth ambitions in Southeast Asia. The structured and safeguarded nature of the loan agreements, coupled with the strategic importance of warehousing for cross-border e-commerce, may have a material influence on the Company’s future performance and share price.
