10 percent gain for Suning.com shares
Print Edition
Retailer Suning.com jumped 10 percent yesterday after more than two weeks of a trading halt, as investors remain upbeat on the company’s business prospects after state-backed assets became shareholders.
Its shares surged the daily limit to close at 6.15 yuan (97 US cents) yesterday.
A consortium made up of 10 investors, including Jiangsu’s state-backed equity investment firm as well as local technology and appliance companies, will pay a total of 2.88 billion yuan for a 16.96 percent stake of Suning, according to a stock exchange filing.
A new retail development fund was set up with state-owned asset management companies owned by the governments of Jiangsu Province and the city of Nanjing, as well as companies including Alibaba, Xiaomi, Haier, Midea and TCL.
Suning scrapped an earlier deal with Shenzhen’s state-backed Shenzhen International Holding for equity transfer without reaching any specific business partnership.
A string of efforts have been made to relieve the company’s debt pressure since the second half of 2020.
Suning Chairman Zhang Jindong will have 17.62 percent of voting rights following the shareholding structure change, followed by the consortium’s 16.96 percent. No one will be a controlling shareholder with more than a 50 percent stake, and there will not be a shareholder with actual voting rights of over 30 percent.
Suning said the new shareholder structure will help it stabilize business operations.
