On June 22, 2026, East Lake High-tech (600133) responded to investors’ concerns on the investor relations platform.
Investors proposed that in-depth due diligence on large-scale hard technology companies in the industry should be carried out. Completing 2-3 companies in a year is considered to be highly efficient, and the company has screened and docked more than 100 projects in three years.
They question whether such a large number of projects means that the targets of contact are mainly small and weak startups in angel rounds and A rounds, and what is the reason behind a large number of shallow project surveys but no substantive mergers and acquisitions. They also require the disclosure of subsequent project selection criteria and merger and acquisition promotion plans.
East Lake High-tech responded that the company implements hierarchical management of target projects and not all carry out in-depth due diligence.
Some projects will be included in the project reserve database for tracking, some projects will be initiated, and in-depth due diligence will be carried out for high-matching projects.
In terms of project selection, the company takes the industrial track as the core selection principle, regards industrial automation, intelligent manufacturing and applications as the core of industrial mergers and acquisitions, and actively promotes mergers and acquisitions.
This hierarchical management method reflects the company’s prudence and efficiency in project selection.
By classifying projects, projects at different stages and characteristics can be managed in a more targeted manner.
Although in-depth due diligence may not be carried out immediately for projects tracked by the reserve library, we can continue to pay attention to their development trends and provide more information for future M&A decisions.
The projects that are launched are those that are deemed to have certain potential after preliminary screening. Further in-depth due diligence can provide a more comprehensive understanding of the project situation and provide strong support for M&A decisions.
Taking industrial automation, intelligent manufacturing and applications as the core of industrial mergers and acquisitions reflects the company’s keen insight into industry development trends.
With the continuous advancement of science and technology, industrial automation and intelligent manufacturing have become important forces promoting industrial upgrading.
By merging and acquiring companies in related fields, East Lake High-tech can quickly acquire advanced technology and resources, enhance its core competitiveness, and achieve rapid industrial development.
The company also stated that if there is any clear progress that touches the information disclosure standards in the future, it will perform its information disclosure obligations in a timely manner in strict accordance with relevant laws and regulations.
This reflects the company’s standardization and transparency in information disclosure, allows investors to keep abreast of the company’s merger and acquisition progress, and enhances investors’ confidence in the company.
In short, East Lake High-tech has a clear strategy and plan in project selection and mergers and acquisitions. Through hierarchical management and the selection principle with the industry track as the core, it actively promotes mergers and acquisitions and is expected to achieve greater breakthroughs and development in the fields of industrial automation and intelligent manufacturing.
