REVISION OF ANNUAL CAP OF CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS UNDER THE MAPPING AND DATA SERVICES PROCUREMENT FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT

BACKGROUND

Reference is made to the prospectus of WeRide Inc. (the “Company,” together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) dated October 28, 2025 (the “Prospectus”) in relation to, among others, a mapping and data services procurement framework agreement dated October 15, 2025 (the “Mapping and Data Services Procurement Framework Agreement”) entered into between Guangzhou Wenyuan Zhixing Technology Co., Ltd. (廣州文遠知行科技有限公司) (“Wenyuan Guangzhou”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Guangzhou Yuji Technology Co., Ltd. (廣州禹跡科技有限公司) (“Guangzhou Yuji”).

Pursuant to the Mapping and Data Services Procurement Framework Agreement, the Group agreed to procure from Guangzhou Yuji and its subsidiaries certain mapping and data services, including but not limited to production and collection of high-definition maps, data collection and labeling services, and other data services (collectively, the “Mapping and Data Services”), for the purpose of supporting its autonomous driving business. The term of the Mapping and Data Services Procurement Framework Agreement commenced on the Listing Date and will expire on December 31, 2027. Subject to the terms of the Mapping and Data Services Procurement Framework Agreement, the Group will from time to time enter into specific agreements or place specific orders with Guangzhou Yuji or its subsidiaries which will set out the specific terms and conditions for the procurement of the Mapping and Data Services.

The annual caps for the transactions contemplated under the Mapping and Data Services Procurement Framework Agreement were set at RMB65 million, RMB70 million, and RMB70 million for the three years ending December 31, 2027, respectively.

REVISION OF ANNUAL CAP

In November 2025, taking into account (i) the actual transaction amounts incurred under the Mapping and Data Services Procurement Framework Agreement up to that time, and (ii) the expected increase in demand for Mapping and Data Services for the remainder of 2025, primarily attributable to the greater-than-expected scale of the Group’s autonomous driving business, the management of the Company anticipated that the annual cap for the transactions contemplated under the Mapping and Data Services Procurement Framework Agreement for the year ended December 31, 2025 would be insufficient. Accordingly, on November 21, 2025, the audit committee of the Board (comprising all three independent non-executive Directors) (the “Audit Committee”) considered and approved a revision of the annual cap for the year ended December 31, 2025 from RMB65 million to RMB69 million. The revised annual cap was subsequently reviewed and ratified by the Board in April 2026. For the avoidance of doubt, the aggregate amount of Mapping and Data Services procured by the Group under the Mapping and Data Services Procurement Framework Agreement did not exceed the annual cap at the time the Audit Committee revised it. Based on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, the aggregate amount of Mapping and Data Services procured by the Group under the Mapping and Data Services Procurement Framework Agreement for the year ended December 31, 2025 was RMB66.8 million.

Save for the revision of annual cap as disclosed above, all other terms and conditions of the Mapping and Data Services Procurement Framework Agreement remain unchanged. Details of the principal terms of the Mapping and Data Services Procurement Framework Agreement are set out in the Prospectus.

In determining the above revised annual cap, the Directors have considered:

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF REVISING THE ANNUAL CAP

Guangzhou Yuji possesses the necessary licenses and qualifications under applicable PRC laws and regulations to provide a wide range of reliable Mapping and Data Services with a team of experienced technical professionals in the field. With its professional qualifications and technical expertise, Guangzhou Yuji and its subsidiaries are able to provide high-quality Mapping and Data Services with accuracy, reliability and consistency that meet the Group’s requirements and quality standards. The Group has been procuring such services from Guangzhou Yuji and its subsidiaries to support its autonomous driving business in its ordinary and usual course of business and on normal commercial terms or better. Guangzhou Yuji has also been familiar with the Group’s business needs and technical requirements, which facilitates efficient service delivery and coordination.

As mentioned above, the management of the Company has been monitoring and has anticipated that the annual cap for the transactions contemplated under the Mapping and Data Services Procurement Framework Agreement for the year ended December 31, 2025 would not be sufficient to meet the Group’s business needs for that year. The revision of the annual cap of the transactions contemplated under the Mapping and Data Services Procurement Framework Agreement would enable the Group to secure a stable and reliable supply of Mapping and Data Services necessary to support the Group’s ongoing business expansion.

In light of the above, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that (i) the transactions contemplated under the Mapping and Data Services Procurement Framework Agreement have been entered into in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, are on normal commercial terms or better, and are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Group and the shareholders of the Company as a whole; and (ii) the revised annual cap of the transactions contemplated under the Mapping and Data Services Procurement Framework Agreement is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Group and the shareholders of the Company as a whole.

INFORMATION OF THE COMPANY

The Company is a global leader and a first mover in the autonomous driving industry, as well as the first publicly traded robotaxi company. Its autonomous vehicles have been tested or operated in over 40 cities across 12 countries. It is also the first and only technology company whose products have received autonomous driving permits in eight markets: China, Switzerland, the United Arab Emirates, Singapore, France, Saudi Arabia, Belgium, and the United States. Empowered by the smart, versatile, cost-effective, and highly adaptable WeRide One platform, the Company provides autonomous driving products and services from L2 to L4, addressing transportation needs in the mobility, logistics, and sanitation industries. The Company was named to Fortune’s 2025 Change the World and 2025 Future 50 lists.

INFORMATION OF GUANGZHOU YUJI

Guangzhou Yuji is a limited liability company established in the PRC and is principally engaged in the provision of Mapping and Data Services. As of the date of this announcement, Guangzhou Yuji is owned by Guangzhou Xiaoyao Investment Partnership (Limited Partnership) (廣州逍遙 投資合夥企業(有限合夥)) (“Guangzhou Xiaoyao”) as to 99% and Hongyou Shi (石洪友) as to 1%. The general partner of Guangzhou Xiaoyao is Mr. Ming Han (韓明) holding 60% of the partnership interest. Guangzhou Xiaoyao has four limited partners, including Yuzhen Lan (藍玉珍), Xiaohong Chen (陳小紅), Jinbo Li (李金波), and Yushu Zhong (鐘毓澍), each holding 10% of the partnership interest in Guangzhou Xiaoyao.

Mr. Ming Han is the brother of Dr. Tony Xu Han (韓旭) (“Dr. Han”), the chairman of the Board, an executive Director, and the chief executive officer of the Group, and therefore a connected person of the Company pursuant to Rule 14A.07(4) of the Listing Rules. As a result, the transactions contemplated under the Mapping and Data Services Procurement Framework Agreement constitute continuing connected transactions of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, save as disclosed above, each of the other shareholders of Guangzhou Yuji and their ultimate beneficial owners is an independent third party of the Company and its connected persons. No Director, except Dr. Han, is considered to have a material interest in the transactions contemplated under the Mapping and Data Services Procurement Framework Agreement. Accordingly, Dr. Han has abstained from voting on the relevant Board resolutions in relation to the rectification and approval of the revised annual cap of the transactions contemplated under the Mapping and Data Services Procurement Framework Agreement.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As disclosed in the Prospectus, in connection with the transactions contemplated under the Mapping and Data Services Procurement Framework Agreement, the Company applied for, and the Stock Exchange granted it, a waiver pursuant to Rule 14A.105 of the Listing Rules from strict compliance with the announcement requirement under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules, subject to the condition that the aggregate amount of the transactions for each relevant financial year shall not exceed the relevant proposed annual caps set out in the Prospectus.

Pursuant to Rule 14A.54 of the Listing Rules, if the Company intends to revise the annual caps for continuing connected transactions, the Company will be required to re-comply with the relevant provisions of Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules in relation to the relevant connected transactions.

As the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the transactions contemplated under the Mapping and Data Services Procurement Framework Agreement calculated using the revised annual cap for the year ended December 31, 2025 exceeded 0.1% but all of them were less than 5% and the total consideration on an annual basis was greater than HK$3 million, such transactions were subject to the reporting, announcement and annual review requirements but exempt from the circular and independent shareholders’ approval requirements pursuant to Rule 14A.76 of the Listing Rules. The Company should have announced the revised annual cap of the transactions contemplated under the Mapping and Data Services Procurement Framework Agreement for the year ended December 31, 2025 in November 2025 when the revision was considered and approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to Rule 14A.54 of the Listing Rules. However, due to the relevant staff’s unfamiliarity with the applicable requirements under the Listing Rules, the other Directors and senior management of the Company were not provided with timely information regarding the revision of the annual cap for the year ended December 31, 2025. Accordingly, the Company did not make the necessary disclosure and comply with the relevant requirements for continuing connected transactions under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules at the material time.

INTERNAL CONTROL AND REMEDIAL MEASURES

The Directors consider that the above-mentioned failure to comply with the requirements under Rule 14A.54 of the Listing Rules in a timely manner was an isolated incident. In order to ensure that the Company complies with the relevant requirements under the Listing Rules in relation to the Mapping and Data Services Procurement Framework Agreement and to prevent recurrence of similar incidents in the future, the Company has adopted the following internal control and remedial measures:

The Board considers that, in light of the above internal control and remedial measures, the continuing connected transactions contemplated under the Mapping and Data Services Procurement Framework Agreement will be carried out in accordance with the agreed pricing policies and contractual terms, on normal commercial terms or better, and will not be prejudicial to the interests of the Group and the shareholders of the Company as a whole. The Company will continue to monitor the transaction amounts incurred under the Mapping and Data Services Procurement Framework Agreement, and will re-comply with the relevant requirements under the Listing Rules if it proposes to further revise the annual caps for the continuing connected transactions contemplated thereunder for the two years ending December 31, 2027.

Hong Kong, April 23, 2026

As of the date of this announcement, the Board comprises Dr. Tony Xu Han and Dr. Yan Li as executive Directors, Mr. Ichijo Futakawa and Mr. Jean-François Salles as non-executive Directors, and Ms. Huiping Yan, Mr. David Zhang and Dr. Tony Fan-cheong Chan as independent non-executive Directors.
