“Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily”, December 30 (Reporter Zhang Yangyang) On the first anniversary of its listing, China's No. 1 humanoid robot stock choice ushered in a major shock in stock prices.

In today's intraday, Preferred Choice dropped more than 30%. The company announced the day before that Zhou Jian, chairman of the board of directors, executive director and CEO of the company, each signed a termination agreement with Zhao Guoqun, Xia Yongjun, Ms. Wang Lin, Xiong Youjun and Xia Zuoquan to terminate the concerted action agreement, which will take effect from December 29, 2024.

In response to the sharp drop in stock prices, Yubi said in response to the “Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily” that Preferred Choice, as a leading humanoid robot company, is close to the delivery of the first industrial humanoid robot order. The company understands that the company's shareholders have long been optimistic about the development of the company's humanoid robot business, and is currently at a critical stage of industrialization in the humanoid robot industry. According to Preferred Choice, the company also respects that shareholders have different plans for the disposal of pre-IPO shares based on long-term optimism about the company. The company's management has full confidence in the company's various business operations and the implementation of the humanoid robot industry. At the same time, the management also disclosed the long-term stock lockdown notice to the outside world.

On December 29 of last year, Preferred Choice was officially listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. According to the prospectus announcement at the time, the controlling shareholders and all existing shareholders promised to ban sales for one year before listing.

According to Choice data, prior to the above announcement, Preferred Choice Zhou Jian and the co-actors held a total of 49.813% of the company's shares. After the unanimous actor agreement was terminated, Zhou Jian directly held 24.79% of the company's shares. Xiong Youjun, Wang Lin, Xia Zuoquan, and Xia Yongjun held 1.98%, 1.96%, 5.47%, and 2.64% of the shares of their superior company, respectively.

A person familiar with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange's stock ban and unban rules told the “Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily” reporter that now that the first anniversary has expired, old shareholders' shares are aware of the ban period, but some shareholders want to voluntarily ban the sale, so they can only lift the concerted action first.

According to the latest announcement, Preferred Choice CEO Zhou Jian currently holds 70.4 million H shares of the company. Zhou Jian promised not to reduce his holdings in any way for 12 months from December 29, 2024.

According to information, Preferential Choice has taken the lead in commercializing humanoid robots. In 2024, it cooperated with many well-known companies in the automotive, 3C, and logistics fields, and is the humanoid robot company that has entered the most car manufacturer training in the world. Furthermore, the industrial humanoid robot Walker S has received intended orders for more than 500 units from car manufacturers and is currently at a critical stage of industrialization.

In the latest semi-annual earnings conference call, Zhou Jian said that it is expected that there will be orders for 1000-2000 humanoid robots next year, and there will also be more automobile factories and 3C electronics companies to carry out more cooperation and contacts in the future.

As of today's close (30th), Preferred Choice reported HK$62.45 per share, down 31.6% during the day. On the same day, it is preferable to enter the top ten Hong Kong stock turnover.
