Biwin has entered into a locked-volume, locked-price agreement to purchase enterprise-grade chips from the third quarter of 2026 through the second quarter of 2028. The supplier remains undisclosed due to commercial confidentiality. This contract is valued at 12.6 billion yuan, exceeding the mandatory disclosure threshold for the Shanghai Stock Exchange's Star Market.
Under the locked-volume, locked-price arrangement, Biwin would buy enterprise-grade chips in batches from the third quarter of 2026 through the second quarter of 2028, according to a filing with the Shanghai Stock Exchange on Tuesday. The supplier was not disclosed, citing commercial confidentiality.
The company said the contract would “secure medium- to long-term capacity and delivery schedules for memory chips, reducing the risk of supply disruption caused by market fluctuations”.
Biwin’s 2025 revenue of 11.3 billion yuan (US$1.7 billion) is eclipsed by the deal, which is equivalent to 12.6 billion yuan and is far above the threshold that triggers mandatory disclosure under Star Market rules.
The arrangement highlights how Chinese downstream storage firms are responding to the current memory upcycle by locking in upstream supply earlier and for longer periods.
Biwin said the 2026 purchase volume under the contract would amount to 4.45 per cent of its 2025 NAND flash procurement, rising to 14.88 per cent in 2027. Figures for the first half of 2028 were not disclosed.
