This is an exciting and transformative time for our company. At Origin Agritech we have always been at the forefront, pushing the boundaries of agricultural innovation. As we enter our next phase of growth, it’s crucial to have a leadership team that not only shares this vision but also has the expertise to turn it into reality. That’s why I’ve put together a new team of leaders who are uniquely qualified to guide Origin Agritech into the future.

Each of these leaders brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record in their respective fields. Together, they represent the transformative force that will drive our company forward.

I am truly honored to take on the role of Chief Executive Officer at Origin Agritech during this pivotal time. After extensive discussions with Dr. Han, it’s clear that we are aligned on a bold vision for the future of Origin Agritech.

Our immediate focus will be on expanding the commercialization of our current varieties, fully leveraging the strengths of our GMO traits, such as BBL2-2, and capitalizing on the advantages of our gene-editing technology. We will achieve this through our own efforts and by forming strategic partnerships that can accelerate our growth. Additionally, we are committed to strengthening our organization from the lab to the field, ensuring that our innovations translate into tangible results for our farmers and stakeholders.

We also see significant opportunities in mergers and acquisitions on a global scale, where we can create synergies that enhance our core strengths. One of the projects I’m particularly enthusiastic about is the grain business, which leverages our rich nutrition corn varieties—an initiative that Dr. Han has long envisioned. Together, with our dedicated team and your support, I am confident that we can achieve extraordinary growth and make a lasting impact on global agriculture and nutrition.

It’s an exciting time for me to join this incredible team, especially as we embark on a journey to expand our agricultural innovations and explore new avenues in nutrition and grain businesses.

With over 20 years of experience in corporate management and strategic planning, I’m eager to contribute to Origin Agritech’s growth by enhancing our operational efficiency and executing our strategic initiatives. One of my key priorities will be to advance the grain business initiative that Dr. Han has championed, utilizing our rich nutrition corn varieties. This project represents a significant opportunity to extend our impact beyond the farm, bringing our innovative products directly to consumers.

I’m also focused on ensuring that our efforts in mergers and acquisitions align with our growth strategy, creating synergies that bolster our market presence and technological leadership. By working closely with Mr. Yan and the rest of our talented team, I am confident that we will drive Origin Agritech to new heights, delivering greater value to our stakeholders and making a meaningful difference in global agriculture.

It’s an honor to be part of this visionary company at such a transformative time. With over three decades of experience in corporate management, investment, and financial control, I am committed to driving Origin Agritech’s financial strategy to support our ambitious goals.

My focus will be on ensuring that we have the financial infrastructure and strategic oversight to support our growth initiatives. By carefully managing our resources and optimizing our financial operations, we can effectively execute our business strategies and maximize shareholder value.

I’m also excited to explore strategic partnerships and potential mergers and acquisitions that align with our long-term goals, further enhancing our competitive edge in the global market. Together with Mr. Yan, Mr. Yang, and the entire Origin Agritech team, I look forward to contributing to the company’s continued success and delivering sustainable growth for all our stakeholders.
