underappreciating the strategic implications of its AI initiatives. As AI increasingly becomes a catalyst

for enterprise software spending and system modernization, in our view, Kingdee is well positioned

to capture this trend given its extensive public cloud footprint, strong customer relationships, and

ability to rapidly deploy new AI capabilities across its existing ecosystem. Over time, products such as

Lingee could expand Kingdee's role from a system of record to a system of intelligence, enabling the
