BaWang International Seeks Shareholder Approval for Major Related-Party Lease in Guangzhou

BaWang International (Group) Holding Limited ( (HK:1338) ) has issued an update.

BaWang International has entered into a new five-year lease for production facilities, offices, warehouses and staff dormitories at its Bawang Industrial Complex in Guangzhou, covering 37,997.7 square metres from July 2026 to June 2031. Under IFRS 16, the lease will be recognised as a right-of-use asset and lease liability valued at about RMB32.6 million, with monthly rent set at RMB607,963.2, below an independently assessed fair market rent of RMB690,000.

Because the lessor Guangzhou Bawang is ultimately controlled by the company’s chairman and chief executive, the deal is classified as a major and connected transaction under Hong Kong listing rules and requires independent shareholders’ approval at an extraordinary general meeting. The arrangement effectively renews existing leases due to expire in June 2026 and signals continued commitment to the Guangzhou site, while subjecting the transaction to enhanced scrutiny and an independent financial adviser’s review to protect minority investors’ interests.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:1338) stock is a Hold with a HK$0.04 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on BaWang International (Group) Holding Limited stock, see the HK:1338 Stock Forecast page.
