EPI (Holdings) Lends NZD1.65 Million in Secured Six-Month Loan via New Zealand Unit

EPI (Holdings) Limited ( (HK:0689) ) just unveiled an update.

EPI (Holdings) Limited, through its indirect wholly owned New Zealand subsidiary EPI ESG Investment (New Zealand) Limited, is expanding its investment and financing activities by deploying internal resources into secured lending as part of its broader capital allocation approach. The group uses this platform to provide interest-bearing, collateralised credit facilities, reflecting its role as an investment-oriented company with exposure to the New Zealand market. The company announced that its New Zealand subsidiary has entered into a loan agreement with an independent third party, providing a NZD1.65 million (approximately HK$7.43 million) loan facility for six months at 8% per annum, secured by a first mortgage over land and properties in Massey, Auckland. Funded entirely by internal resources, the transaction meets the thresholds for a disclosable transaction under Hong Kong listing rules, underscoring the growing significance of such lending activities in the group’s operations and signalling an incremental shift toward income-generating, asset-backed financing that may enhance returns while maintaining collateral protection for shareholders.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:0689) stock is a Hold with a HK$0.21 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on EPI (Holdings) Limited stock, see the HK:0689 Stock Forecast page.
