GR Life Style Company Limited Completes Major Acquisition and First Payment

Key Points for Investors

• Significant Equity Stake Acquired: Immediately following completion, the Company now holds approximately 78.3% equity interest in the Target Company.
• Consolidation Under VIE Structure: The Target Company, following the acquisition, has become an indirect non-wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Notably, it is now a consolidated affiliated entity under the Company’s Variable Interest Entity (VIE) arrangements, and its financial results have been consolidated into the financial statements of the Group.
• Second Payment Expected By End of May 2026: The second payment (Share SPA Second Payment/Cash SPA Second Payment) is anticipated to be completed by the end of May 2026, within five working days after all conditions precedent are satisfied. These conditions include obtaining ODI (Overseas Direct Investment) approvals (if applicable), the establishment of Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs), and escrow arrangements.

Important Shareholder Information

• Consolidation Effects: Investors should note that the financial results of the Target Company will now be reflected in the Group’s consolidated financial statements, which could positively impact reported revenues and earnings.
• Regulatory and Structural Steps: The completion of the second payment will depend on several regulatory and structural steps, such as ODI approvals and the setup of SPVs and escrow, which may pose timing or execution risks that shareholders should monitor.
• VIE Arrangement: The use of a VIE structure means the Company is consolidating an entity without direct equity control, a structure commonly used in China to control entities in restricted industries. Shareholders should be aware of the associated risks and regulatory oversight.
