Material Changes
- Termination of VIE Agreement: On August 4, 2025, iPower's subsidiary, Dayourenzai (Shenzhen) Technology Co, Ltd. ("DYRZ"), terminated the contractual arrangements with its VIE, Daheshou (Shenzhen) Information Technology Co., Ltd. ("DHS").
- Loss of Control: Following the termination, DYRZ no longer owns, operates, or controls DHS.

Outlook, Management Commentary, and Risks
Management characterizes the termination as a strategic move to streamline operations and improve structural efficiency. The company notes that it has gradually transitioned DHS services in recent years. Consequently, the company states this change is not expected to have a material effect on its business or revenue streams generated from the PRC. No specific risks or contingencies beyond the standard transition of operations are detailed in this summary.
Investor Verification Checklist
