Monitor future disclosures for signs of related-party transaction risks or governance issues, especially as WeRide expands its robotaxi operations. The delayed disclosure suggests internal control weaknesses, though remedial steps have been taken.

Executive Summary
WeRide Inc. disclosed a revision of the annual cap for connected-party transactions with Guangzhou Yuji, a company linked to CEO Dr. Han's brother, increasing the 2025 cap from RMB65 million to RMB69 million due to higher-than-expected demand for mapping and data services. The company failed to disclose the change in November 2025 as required, attributing the delay to staff unfamiliarity with listing rules, and has since implemented internal controls to prevent recurrence.
