Citychamp Watch & Jewellery Group ( (HK:0256) ) has provided an announcement.
Citychamp Watch & Jewellery Group has agreed to sell 50% of its interest in a subsidiary (the Disposal Company) to an unnamed purchaser for a maximum consideration of £7 million, leaving each party with an equal 50% stake. Following completion, the Disposal Company ceases to be a subsidiary and will no longer be consolidated into Citychamp’s financial statements, while related trademarks are being transferred into the Disposal Company under simultaneous assignments.
In connection with the deal, a shareholders’ agreement and new articles of association set out the parties’ rights, including a drag-along option giving the purchaser the ability, under certain conditions, to compel Citychamp’s vendor entity to sell an additional 25% stake for up to £3 million. The Hong Kong listing rules treat the disposal and drag-along option as a single discloseable transaction, with applicable percentage ratios above 5% but below 25%, highlighting a meaningful but mid-sized restructuring of Citychamp’s watch assets that adjusts its risk exposure and balance sheet without triggering higher regulatory thresholds.
