SMM launches the "SMM China Titanium Dioxide Price Index" to provide a transparent pricing reference and reflect market trends, effective from March 20, 2026.

Dear User, Greetings! The PV industry is currently accelerating its transition to N-type technology, with TOPCon modules emerging as a core product in major global markets due to their superior power density. Meanwhile, against the backdrop of increasingly complex global trade conditions and fluctuating international logistics costs, the market is demanding greater transparency in pricing information. Standalone FOB prices can no longer adequately meet the needs of upstream and downstream players in the industry chain for accurately calculating overseas landing costs. As CIF prices more directly reflect the actual competitiveness of products in target markets, their importance as a basis for trade settlement and a tool for risk hedging has become increasingly prominent. To better understand the actual CIF market conditions for module exports to Southeast Asia and help enterprises reduce transaction risks and costs amid complex trade dynamics, SMM, after a period of market observation and surveys, plans to officially add the following product prices starting January 23, 2026, as references for market transactions: TOPCon Module-182mm-CIF Malaysia TOPCon Module-210mm-CIF Malaysia TOPCon Module-210R-CIF Malaysia The published prices are all CIF prices for major ports in Malaysia. Specific specifications and descriptions are as follows: Price Point Names: TOPCon Module-182mm-CIF Malaysia TOPCon Module-210mm-CIF Malaysia TOPCon Module-210R-CIF Malaysia Price Description: Price Type: CIF Major Ports in Malaysia Tax Standard: Tax-excluded Definition: CIF Price for Major Ports in Malaysia Unit: $/W Leading Brands: LONGi Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd., Jinko Solar Co., Ltd., Trinasolar Co., Ltd., JA Solar Co., Ltd., CSI Solar, CHINT Group Co., Ltd., etc. Minimum Trading Volume: 10 MW Delivery Period: Within 3 months Release Time: Every Friday at 11:00 AM Beijing Time Payment Terms: Cash, and other payment methods standardized to cash SMM PV Research Team January 13, 2026

Dear User, Currently, India has gradually become an important global manufacturing and export base for PV modules. In actual trade, Indian made modules exhibit differentiated supply-demand relationships and price performances in the spot market due to the varying origins of the solar cells used. To facilitate upstream and downstream enterprises in the PV industry chain to better understand India's module export and local market conditions, grasp real-time international spot price dynamics, and convey more comprehensive and diverse price information to the market, thereby reducing transaction risks and costs in overseas trade, SMM, after a period of consolidation and market surveys, plans to officially add the 'TOPCon Module-Indian Made（with domestic solar cells)' and 'TOPCon Module-Indian Made（without domestic solar cells)' product prices as market trading references starting from January 23, 2026. The published prices are all ex-work prices for these modules in India, with specific specifications and descriptions as follows: Price Point Names: TOPCon Module-Indian Made（with domestic solar cells) TOPCon Module-Indian Made（without domestic solar cells) Price Description: Price Type: Indian ex-work price (EXW) Tax Rate Standard: Tax-excluded Definition: Indian ex-work price With Domestic Solar Cells: Refers to modules manufactured in India, with the solar cells used also produced locally in India. Without Domestic Solar Cells: Refers to modules manufactured in India, but the solar cells are imported from overseas (not produced locally in India). Unit: $/W Major Brands: Waaree Technologies Ltd, Adani Group, Vikram Solar Limited, Tata Power Company Ltd, Goldi Solar Pvt Ltd, etc. Minimum Trading Volume: 10 MW Delivery Period: Within 3 months Release Time: Every Friday at 11:00 AM Beijing Time Payment Terms: Cash, and other payment methods standardized as cash SMM PV Research Team January 13, 2026

Dear Users, Greetings! In recent years, as the global new energy vehicle industry entered a large-scale retirement period and resource security strategies were upgraded, China's lithium battery recycling market continued to expand rapidly. In August this year, China officially began allowing the import and export of black mass, and it is expected that more black mass meeting quality requirements will enter China in the future. Against this backdrop, the value and pricing mechanism of overseas black mass in the Chinese market are attracting close attention from both upstream and downstream segments of the industry chain. In response to market changes, addressing the industry's practical needs for evaluating the value of recycled raw materials, and promoting the establishment of a more open and fair pricing benchmark in the lithium battery recycling sector, the Shanghai Metals Market (SMM), after in-depth market surveys and discussions has decided: On January 9, 2026, SMM will officially launch new weekly price for lithium battery recycling. The newly added price are as follow: 1. SMM Battery Black Mass, NCM/NCA, % payable of SMM's Nickle sulphate, FOB Malaysia, 9% < Ni < 20% 2.

Dear Users, To optimize the data structure and enhance your data retrieval and analysis efficiency, we will adjust the classification hierarchy of "Magnesium" data in our Database Pro, effective from February 1, 2026. Before Adjustment: After Adjustment: Reason for Adjustment: Sustained Growth in User Attention: We have observed that in recent years, user query frequency, analysis depth, and attention to magnesium-related data have significantly increased. This adjustment aims to respond to your needs, making the classification structure more aligned with your usage habits and enabling easier access and retrieval of relevant data. Impact and Recommendations for You: • Change in Data Access Path: After the adjustment, you can directly locate the "Magnesium" category under the Minor & Precious Metals classification directory in the database, without needing to access it through the "Minor Metal" category. • This adjustment will not result in any loss of historical data, nor will it affect data usage permissions it only changes the classification hierarchy. We believe this adjustment will provide you with a clearer and more efficient data service experience. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by this adjustment and greatly appreciate your understanding and support. SMM Information & Technology Co., Ltd. January 22, 2026

Dear Customer, Dear Valued Client, To keep pace with the rapid development of the secondary copper industry and meet the market's need for in-depth analysis of the recycling industry and the supply-demand pattern of copper cathode, our company has conducted a deep optimization of our data models. We are now systematically upgrading and adjusting the standards and content of monthly supply-demand balance data related to China's copper scrap, and implementing the following treatment for historical data: I. Adjustments Made This upgrade primarily optimizes and updates the following indicators in the balance sheet: Discontinuation of "SMM Domestic Copper Scrap Supply" and "SMM Domestic Copper Scrap Supply - Forecasted Value," and adjustment of the two data points under "Domestic Copper Scrap Production": "Domestic Old Scrap Production (Metal Content)" and "Domestic Old Scrap Production (Metal Content) - Forecasted Value." (Data modification path: Database - Copper - Copper Scrap - Production) II. Treatment of Historical Data Historical domestic copper scrap production data will no longer be updated starting from September 2025. Subsequent data will be uniformly released according to the new standards, with the revised data retroactively applied from January 2025.
