*ST Gaoke: Receives Notice of Response to Lawsuit Over Validity of Resolution; Court Has Filed the Case

*ST Gaoke announced that the company has received a notice of response to litigation served by the Haidian District People's Court of Beijing. This litigation concerns the same matter as the claims disclosed by the company on September 23, 2026, both being disputes over resolutions of the company's Sixth Meeting of the Eleventh Board of Directors and the Fourth Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of 2026. The plaintiffs are former chairman Cao Long and former director He Yifan. The claims seek confirmation that the company's board actions of July 16, 2026, board resolutions of July 17, and shareholders' meeting resolutions of August 4 are invalid, and an order that the company bear the litigation costs. The case has now been docketed and accepted but has not yet been heard. It does not involve a specific monetary payment claim and will not have a negative impact on the company's profit or loss. The company will organize a legal team to actively respond to the litigation.
