Six major projects, comprehensive layout

According to the document information, this fundraising of 9.81 billion yuan will be precisely allocated to six projects, covering ultra-high-definition display Mini/Micro LED and display module product production and construction projects, optoelectronic sensing and intelligent health device industrialization construction projects, smart home display and Mini backlight module construction projects, intelligent automotive device and application construction projects, Sanan Optoelectronics R&D laboratory project, as well as working capital supplementation ; details of each project follow:

1. Mini/Micro LED and Display Module Production and Construction Project

The total investment for this project is 373 million yuan, with 362 million yuan to be raised from funds. It will be implemented by Guoxing Electronics, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sanan Optoelectronics. The project site is located in the Jili Industrial Park production building, Nanzhuang Town, Chancheng District, Foshan. By constructing production workshops and adding product assembly lines, it aims to expand the output of Mini/Micro RGB LED, TOP LED, and display module products.

Sanan Optoelectronics points out that existing LED production lines can no longer fully meet customer demands. To address this challenge, the company plans to implement intelligent upgrades through the following measures: introducing automated production and supporting equipment, deploying an intelligent production management system, and building highly automated smart production lines. This upgrade will significantly enhance the automation and intelligence levels of production, thereby improving product quality and production efficiency, ultimately strengthening the company's product delivery capabilities.

2. Industrialization Project for Photoelectric Sensing and Intelligent Health Devices

Total investment of 190 million yuan, with 190 million yuan to be raised from proceeds. The project implementation entity is Sanan Optoelectronics, located at No. 18 Huabao South Road, Chancheng District, Foshan City. The project will increase the production of optocouplers, wearable LED products, etc., by purchasing production equipment and supporting equipment, actively layout in the field of intelligent health.

3. Smart Home Display and Mini LED Backlight Module Construction Project

Total investment of 118 million yuan, fully funded by capital raising. This project will add new production lines at the company headquarters. By purchasing production equipment and supporting equipment in batches and introducing experienced professional talent, it will increase the production capacity of Mini backlight modules, devices, and thin display modules.

4. Intelligent In-Vehicle Devices and Application Construction Project

Total investment of 53.5328 million yuan, with 53.5328 million yuan to be funded from raised capital. Sanan Optoelectronics will construct a production workshop at its headquarters and add new product production lines, focusing on significantly increasing the output of smart automotive components and related applications, seizing the development opportunities in automotive intelligence.

5. Sanan Optoelectronics R&D Laboratory Project

总投资1.58亿元，拟使用募集资金1.58亿元。项目将在本部研发中心及吉利产业园研发大楼实施建设。本部研发中心升级改造后，将重点开展Mini LED显示器件、背光模组、车载LED应用、新型光电子等领域的实验室建设及相关重点项目研发；吉利产业园研发大楼则专注于Mini LED和Micro LED等显示领域的实验室建设，未来将承担该领域的重点项目研发任务。

Anchor trends, unite strength for breakthroughs

Sanan Optoelectronics plans to raise 981 million yuan to launch six major LED projects. This strategic move during a period of industry transformation reflects its precise grasp of market trends and demonstrates its determination to consolidate its industry leadership. The initiative can be deeply analyzed from three aspects:

From a strategic fit perspective, the allocation of raised funds aligns closely with the development trajectory of the LED industry. Currently, fields such as Mini/Micro LED, automotive electronics, and smart sensing are on the verge of explosive demand. Sanan Optoelectronics will direct over 60% of its raised funds into tangible projects like ultra-high-definition displays and automotive components, precisely positioning itself at critical nodes of technological iteration and market expansion. For instance, the ultra-high-definition display project addresses the pain point of insufficient production capacity in existing production lines by enhancing delivery capabilities through intelligent transformation, directly responding to downstream customers' urgent need for high-end display products; meanwhile, the optoelectronic sensing and smart health device project proactively layouts the intersection of consumer electronics and health monitoring, resonating with the industry trend toward the integration of "optoelectronics + scenario applications".

From the perspective of layout synergy, the six projects have constructed a closed-loop system of "R&D - Production Capacity Expansion - Market Expansion". The R&D laboratory project focuses on breakthroughs in core technologies such as Mini/Micro LED, providing underlying technical support for production projects; application-end projects such as smart home and automotive devices transform technical achievements into differentiated products, covering diverse scenarios including consumer electronics and automotive electronics; the arrangement to supplement working capital provides a financial buffer for the smooth progress of the entire chain of projects, avoiding impacts on strategic implementation due to short-term cash flow pressures. This synergistic design of "Technology - Capacity - Market - Capital" not only strengthens the competitiveness of traditional main businesses such as LED display and lighting, but also cultivates a second growth curve through emerging businesses such as optoelectronic sensing and third-generation semiconductors.

From the perspective of implementation security, the deep involvement of the controlling shareholder and the hardware support of the industrial base form a dual guarantee. Foshan Lighting, the controlling shareholder, intends to subscribe for 116 million yuan, which not only provides certainty for the completion of the fundraising plan but also conveys confidence in the project's prospects, helping to stabilize market expectations. Meanwhile, the Geely Industrial Park, completed in 2024, has established advanced production and R&D platforms. Several of the six major projects will be implemented here, allowing direct reliance on the park's existing infrastructure and industry supply chain support, thereby reducing construction costs and shortening the production cycle. This "capital + industry" linkage model lays a solid foundation for transforming the project from blueprint to mass production.

Future Outlook

This fundraising layout is both a targeted breakthrough by Sanan Optoelectronics in its own technical accumulation and production capacity bottlenecks, and an active response to the LED industry's trend of "high-end, scenario-based, and integrated" development. After project implementation, its production capacity and technical advantages in Mini/Micro LED displays and automotive LED fields will be further amplified. This not only has the potential to drive the company's transformation from a traditional LED packaging enterprise to a "comprehensive optoelectronic solution provider," injecting strong momentum into its long-term development, enhancing core competitiveness and market influence, but also contribute to industry technology upgrades, industrial structure optimization, and the innovative upgrade of the entire LED industry, warranting continued attention from within and outside the industry.
