Beijing Energy International Holding ( (HK:0686) ) has issued an update.

Beijing Energy International issued a supplemental announcement explaining past non-compliance with Hong Kong connected transaction rules, after failing to make timely disclosures on certain electricity trading agreements with connected persons. The company said the omission arose as China’s unified national power market expanded and transactions increasingly took place via standardized power trading platforms, where contracts are formed through electronic confirmations and settlements are handled by grid companies.

An internal review found that the group’s connected-transaction controls were designed mainly for traditional written contracts and direct fund flows, and did not adequately capture indirect connected transactions conducted through third-party trading platforms. The company also cited insufficient familiarity among some frontline subsidiary staff with Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules and substance-over-form requirements, which delayed escalation and disclosure of the relevant electricity transactions.
