Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. (CATL, 300750.S
Xiamen Ruiting Investment is 100%-owned, directly and indirectly, by CATL founder, Chairman and General Manager Zeng Yuqun (曾毓群), named in the annual report as CATL's 实际控制人 (ultimate actual controller; nationality/residency recorded as Hong Kong, China, with an additional foreign residency right). No corporate parent — the controller is a natural person via a wholly-owned holding vehicle. GLEIF has no LEI record for the primary listed entity (300750.SZ / 3750.HK); GLEIF LEI records exist only for CATL's German subsidiaries (Contemporary Amperex Technology AG, LEI 875500UVYA4OUTN7RF15; Contemporary Amperex Technology Thuringia SE, LEI 529900V2X1MOMFQFN308) and two Hong Kong entities, none of which report a parent relationship on file.
Named counterparties identified by open-source research and written only where a primary source states the relationship — never inferred from sector or co-mention. 28 suppliers, 26 customer-side. This is a partial view: it covers the relationships we could evidence, not the company's full supply base.
Filing anonymizes by sales rank only, no entity-level identifier — a rank slot cannot be assumed to hold the same counterparty across fiscal years, so FY2024 and FY2025 rows are point observations, not a joinable series.

2018 ChiNext IPO prospectus, p.151-152 (前五名销售客户). Bus/coach OEM group (parent of listed 宇通客车 600066); sales figure is the consolidated total across Yutong's bus, new-energy-bus-division and heavy-industry subsidiaries. RMB 370,786.98万 of RMB 1,914,381.87万 total FY2017 revenue.
Prospectus p.151/156: Pride (PACK/BMS integrator, controlled by listed 东方精工 002611) was a related party of CATL during the FY2015-2017 reporting period but had ceased to be one by the prospectus signing date (2018) — related_party:true reflects the reporting-period status, not the current one.
Prospectus p.151-154. Parent of listed Geely Auto (00175.HK); figure consolidates Geely's vehicle-research-institute and auto-manufacturing subsidiaries.
Prospectus p.151/154. Fujian SASAC-controlled bus/coach OEM (SSE 600686), founded 1988.
Prospectus p.151/154-155. State Council SASAC-controlled OEM group (HK 00489); figure consolidates several Dongfeng commercial/passenger-vehicle subsidiaries.

FY2015 comparative vintage (p.152) — earliest disclosed year, showing customer concentration falling from 46.10% (2015) to 18.54% (2017) as CATL diversified beyond its original bus-OEM anchor customer.
FY2015 comparative vintage (p.152).
FY2015 comparative vintage; related-party status per the FY2017 row's note.
Prospectus p.152/155-156. Listed (SSE 600884) cathode/anode materials and battery-recycling group — appears here as a FY2015 CUSTOMER (buying cells/materials) and separately below as an FY2015 SUPPLIER of graphite anode material; both roles are as disclosed, not inferred.
FY2015 comparative vintage (p.152).
Prospectus p.163-164. Listed precision-structural-components maker (SZSE 002850); supplies aluminium cell-can/shell — material link: aluminium.
Prospectus p.163-165. Listed battery-recycler/materials group (SZSE 002340); supplies cobalt tetraoxide (四氧化三钴), nickel sulfate and cobalt sulfate for ternary-precursor production — direct material link: cobalt, nickel.
Prospectus p.163/165. State Council SASAC-controlled cathode-materials maker; supplies ternary (NMC) cathode precursor material.
Prospectus p.163/165. LSE-listed commodity trader (GLEN.L), first year of the relationship (2017 per the filing). Supplies crude cobalt hydroxide (粗制氢氧化钴) for cathode-precursor production — the clearest DRC-origin cobalt-supply-chain link found in this corpus to date: names the world's largest cobalt trader as a direct, quantified (3.01% of procurement) CATL raw-material supplier.
Prospectus p.163/165. Listed (SZSE 300450) battery-line equipment maker; supplies winding/slitting machines — an equipment/capex supplier, not a raw-material one (role:supplier covers this per the wake charter's 2026-08-21 clarification).
FY2016 comparative vintage (p.163).
FY2016 comparative vintage (p.163).
Prospectus p.163-166: HK-registered, TDK Corporation (6762.T)-controlled cell/battery-materials maker, explicitly disclosed as a related party of CATL during the reporting period (both trace to the same founding lineage). Supplies cells, battery materials and energy components.
Prospectus p.163-164/166. Supplies LFP (lithium iron phosphate) cathode material — direct material link: lithium, phosphate.
Prospectus p.163-164/166. Nanomaterial cathode-material supplier (later listed SZSE 300769 in 2019, post-dating this prospectus).
FY2015 comparative vintage (p.163) — earliest disclosed year; Kedali's share fell 5.20% (2015) -> 4.69% (2016) -> 3.78% (2017) as CATL's total procurement base grew faster than the Kedali relationship.

Prospectus p.164/166-167. FY2015 supplies graphite anode material (via subsidiaries 湖南杉杉能源/上海杉杉科技/东莞市杉杉电池材料) — the same group appears as an FY2015 customer above, in a materials-trading relationship distinct from this anode-supply one.

H1-2026 semi-annual report, routine related-party transactions table: sale of energy storage battery systems, RMB 871,927 thousand against a board-approved cap of RMB 490,000 thousand (cap exceeded per the filing's own flag). Related via >5% shareholder Huang Shilin (黄世霖) serving as this counterparty's chairman and CATL VP Tan Libin (谭立斌) serving as its director. First named (non-coded) CATL counterparty found outside the IPO-prospectus vintages — the semi-annual report carries no top-5 concentration table at all (that disclosure is annual-only), but its related-party transaction table names entities the annual report's coded top-5 ranks do not.
H1-2026 semi-annual report, routine related-party transactions table: procurement of lithium salt and lithium hydroxide plus tolling, RMB 527,508 thousand against a cap of RMB 490,000 thousand (exceeded per the filing's own flag). Related via a former CATL director (Zhao Fenggang, 赵丰刚, departed within the prior 12 months) holding a board seat at this supplier.
H1-2026 semi-annual report, routine related-party transactions table: procurement of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) plus tolling, RMB 512,789 thousand against a cap of RMB 1,000,000 thousand (not exceeded). Same related-director link (Zhao Fenggang) as the Yibin Tianyi Lithium row above.
H1-2026 semi-annual report, routine related-party transactions table: procurement of lithium-battery production equipment and spare parts, RMB 379,685 thousand against a cap of RMB 730,000 thousand (not exceeded). Same related-director link (Zhao Fenggang) as the two supplier rows above. `role: supplier` here covers an equipment vendor, not a raw-material flow. Table total for all H1-2026 routine related-party transactions: RMB 6,318,603 thousand against an aggregate cap of RMB 13,590,000 thousand — several additional named rows exist in the same table (incl. Fujian Yongfu Power Design Co., Ltd. and at least one more energy-storage-sales counterparty) but the PDF-text extraction scrambled their column order at a page break and could not be read reliably; not written to avoid misattributing a name to the wrong amount.
Scope. Absence of a counterparty here is not evidence that none exists — most commercial sourcing is confidential and never becomes public. Rows without a share figure mean no share was disclosed, not that the relationship is small.
Every exposure is read as a buyer dependency; the top 3 are its binding chokepoints.
As a buyer, policy pressure across its consumed materials is flat.
Descriptive trend in official policy actions on this company’s materials — a policy-pressure trend, not a price or trading signal. No forward probability is implied. Direction is measured on actions we have discovered, and discovery lags events: where the recent window is too thin to support a calm reading, the row says coverage-limited instead of easing.
No actions in the register have named or swept this company in the last 24 months.
