Ausnutria Dairy Corp. Ltd. ( (HK:1717) ) has shared an announcement.

Ausnutria Dairy Corporation has signed three framework agreements with its controlling shareholder Yili Industrial Group and its subsidiary Yishun, covering logistics services, contract manufacturing and the extended supply of probiotics products through 2028. The logistics deal appoints Yishun to provide transportation, warehousing and supply chain management to Ausnutria, while pricing is set on an arm’s-length basis with reference to service capability, costs and prevailing market rates.

Under the contract manufacturing framework, Ausnutria will produce milk powder and related products, excluding infant formula, for Yili Industrial, reinforcing their industrial integration and utilisation of Ausnutria’s production capacity. The new 2026 probiotics supply framework replaces a 2025 agreement after transaction volumes nearly reached the prior annual cap, extending the term to end-2028 and revising caps to accommodate higher expected demand from Yili for probiotics and related products.

Because Yili Industrial holds about 60.18% of Ausnutria’s shares and Yishun is its wholly owned subsidiary, the arrangements constitute continuing connected transactions under Hong Kong listing rules. The annual caps for each agreement trigger reporting, announcement and annual review obligations, but fall below the threshold requiring independent shareholders’ approval, signalling increased collaboration with the controlling shareholder while remaining within mid-range compliance parameters for connected transactions.
