EC Healthcare has moved to increase its stake in a non-wholly owned medical subsidiary, referred to as the Target Company, by acquiring an additional 14.6313% interest for HK$21 million through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary. The consideration is being fully settled via set-off against part of a HK$28.13 million settlement fee owed by departing doctors, allowing the group to avoid any cash outflow while facilitating the doctors’ orderly exit from their indirect equity interests. Following completion, which is due within 21 days, the Target Company will remain a non-wholly owned subsidiary whose results continue to be consolidated, while the deal is classified as a connected transaction under Hong Kong’s Listing Rules but benefits from exemptions from circular, independent financial advice and shareholder approval requirements due to its size and terms.
