Dear Users, Due to recent volatility in the international trade environment, and to ensure the accuracy and reference value of price information, Shanghai Metals Market (SMM) has conducted a careful assessment and decided to temporarily suspend the update of Magnesium Ingot 9990 CFR (Japan) spot prices effective immediately. We will resume updates for this price category once market trading normalizes and a stable, reliable pricing basis is reestablished. Thank you for your ongoing trust and support. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us through official channels. Shanghai Metals Market Information Technology Co., Ltd. Magnesium Research Team January 8, 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 Client, To keep pace with the rapid development of the magnesium metal industry and the growing need for supply-demand pattern analysis, our company has deeply optimized the data model based on the SMM Magnesium Database and is now systematically upgrading and adjusting the data standards and historical data related to magnesium metal in China. The details are as follows: I. Data Standard Upgrades and Data Revision Notes Background of Adjustments With the rapid growth in demand for magnesium alloys in the downstream sector of magnesium metal, the market landscape is evolving rapidly. For instance, technological iterations in die-casting equipment, differences in the penetration rate of thick and thin magnesium alloy die-cast parts, and recycling rates, among other multidimensional factors, have a significant impact on the production of recycled magnesium. To promptly address the industry's need for supply-demand pattern analysis amid its rapid development, adjustments have been made to the data collection standards for "recycled magnesium production," "primary magnesium production," and "total magnesium metal demand," with historical data also being revised. Previous data collection did not account for the supply of recycled magnesium, which could lead to significant deviations in supply estimates. As the SMM Magnesium Database becomes increasingly comprehensive and detailed, a more robust model has been established. Adjustment Details - Data Source Upgrade: Upgraded from a single primary magnesium market supply and demand dataset to the establishment of a dual supply-demand model for magnesium metal, encompassing both primary and recycled sources. - Revision Scope: Historical data from January 1, 2023, to the present (including retrospective revisions and future forecasts).

Dear Useres, With the deep reshaping of the new energy industry chain, the strategic position of sulphur, a traditional bulk raw material, is undergoing a fundamental transformation. Historically, price fluctuations in sulphur-sulphuric acid primarily affected traditional industries such as phosphate fertilisers and titanium dioxide. However, as lithium iron phosphate (LFP) has become the mainstream cathode material for power batteries, the production of its core precursor, iron phosphate, heavily relies on high-purity phosphoric acid, which in turn uses sulphuric acid as its raw material. This enables price fluctuations in the sulphur-sulphuric acid chain to be directly and rapidly transmitted to the cost of LFP. Similarly, in areas such as nickel-cobalt smelting and precursor preparation, sulphuric acid is a key auxiliary material, and its price directly impacts the cost of products like battery-grade nickel sulphate and cobalt sulphate. The emergence of new demands: Sulphur itself, as a key sulphur source for lithium sulphide and sulphide solid-state electrolytes (such as LPSC), is seeing its material purity and supply stability begin to attract attention from cutting-edge battery technology R&D. As an authoritative information institution long dedicated to the non-ferrous metals and new energy materials sectors, SMM, after a period of consolidation and market surveys, plans to introduce new sulphur price points starting December 12, aiming to provide the market with more precise pricing anchors and price references. The specific new price points are as follows: Sulphur: Solid, Sulphur (S) content ≥99.0%, Price Description: Ex-factory price (buyer's self pick-up price), including 13% VAT.

SMM will update its Alumina Monthly Cost Model from January 2026, incorporating VAT into bauxite costs and discontinuing certain regional indicators.

Respected Client, To keep pace with the rapid development of the magnesium industry and the evolving needs for supply-demand analysis, our company has optimized the data model based on the SMM Magnesium Database and is now systematically upgrading the data standards and historical data for magnesium-related metrics in China and globally. Details are as follows: Data Standards and Historical Data Adjustment Notice I. Background of Adjustment With the rapid growth of downstream magnesium alloy demand, the magnesium market landscape continues to evolve. Factors such as technological advancements in die-casting equipment, varying penetration rates of magnesium alloy die-cast parts across different thickness markets, and recycling utilization rates have significantly impacted recycled magnesium production. To better capture the effects of industry changes on supply-demand analysis, and in conjunction with SMM's further in-depth research on the proportion of magnesium added in aluminum industry processes—improving recycled magnesium recovery and utilization coefficients and revising historical data for "primary magnesium" and "magnesium powder" production—we are now adjusting and updating the following metrics in the balance sheet: "recycled magnesium supply," "primary magnesium supply," "magnesium consumption in aluminum products," and "magnesium powder production." II. Adjustment Details Data Points Revised: "Recycled Magnesium Supply," "Primary Magnesium Supply," "Magnesium Consumption in Aluminum Products," "Magnesium Powder Production." Revision Scope: Historical data from January 1, 2023, onward (including retrospective revisions and future forecasts). III.
