Digital China Faces Deemed Disposal as DCITS Plans RMB1 Billion Private Placement

An announcement from Digital China Holdings ( (HK:0861) ) is now available.

Digital China Holdings has announced that its Shenzhen-listed affiliate DCITS plans to raise up to RMB1 billion via a non-public share placement to no more than 35 targeted investors, including domestic and qualified foreign institutions. The new shares to be issued will not exceed 20% of DCITS’s existing share capital and will be priced at no less than 80% of the average trading price over the 20 sessions before pricing, subject to regulatory approval in Shenzhen and registration with the CSRC.

If the placement is completed in full, Digital China’s stake in DCITS will be diluted by about 6.44%, triggering a deemed disposal under Hong Kong Listing Rules and classifying the transaction as a major transaction requiring shareholder approval. The move is expected to strengthen DCITS’s funding base and broaden its investor mix, while slightly reducing Digital China’s ownership but potentially enhancing the affiliate’s capital structure and market positioning in China’s IT services sector.
