As reported by Stockstar on July 24, Suntar (688101) answered investor questions on the SSE e-interactive platform that day. An investor raised concerns about the company publishing energy-storage R&D news via its own WeChat account and asked whether the company would follow exchange announcement procedures first. Suntar replied that its sodium-ion battery achievement is only at the laboratory stage, with no mass production, orders or major investment, and does not constitute a material matter requiring a statutory announcement, adding that it complies with disclosure regulations and the principle of fair disclosure.
This is a completed fact (a company statement and clarification on the investor platform). A “laboratory stage” means the achievement is far from a mass-producible product, and the company disclosed no corresponding orders or investment. Interactive-platform replies are communication with investors; substantive business progress should still be confirmed through statutory announcements.
