China Conch Venture Holdings Limited (Conch Venture) disclosed that its single largest shareholder, Anhui Conch Holdings Co. Ltd. (Conch Holdings), has continued to purchase shares on the open market since 25 February 2026.

Management also indicated plans to enhance synergies across industrial resources, supply chains and platforms to support Conch Venture’s growth.
Separately, Conch Venture’s board acknowledged recent sharp movements in the company’s share price and trading volume but stated, after reasonable enquiry, that it is unaware of any undisclosed matters driving such fluctuations. The board confirmed that the Group’s operations and financial position remain stable and unchanged.
