Easyhome proposes auditor change, revises articles, boosts subsidiary

Easyhome New Retail Group announced its intention to change its accounting firm from PwC Zhongtian to Grant Thornton for the 2025 financial year, citing independence and objectivity. The proposed change, which includes audits for both financial statements and internal controls, will cost 7.4 million yuan. This transition awaits shareholder approval.

Concurrently, the company is updating its articles of association to align with revised company law and Shenzhen Stock Exchange guidelines. Key amendments include replacing "shareholders' meeting" with "shareholder assembly," removing "supervisors" and "supervisory board," and assigning the supervisory board's responsibilities to the audit committee.

Furthermore, Easyhome's wholly-owned subsidiary, Wuhan Zhongshang Group Co., Ltd., secured a new 180 million yuan credit line from China Merchants Bank. To support this, Wuhan Zhongshang Supermarket Chain Co., Ltd., another wholly-owned subsidiary, provided a maximum mortgage guarantee using its properties. As of September 30, 2025, Easyhome's total external guarantees, including those for subsidiaries, amounted to 503,743,280 yuan, representing 24.92% of its latest audited net assets.
