Guotai Haitong Plans Connected Disposal of Entire Stake in Shanghai Securities

Guotai Junan Securities Co., Ltd. Class H ( (HK:2611) ) has issued an announcement.

Guotai Haitong Securities has signed a framework agreement with several vendors and a purchaser for the conditional disposal of 100% of Shanghai Securities, including its own 24.99% stake, to be settled through a mix of consideration shares and cash. The final price will be based on an independent valuation filed with Shanghai SASAC, and if completed the company will fully exit its holding in Shanghai Securities, potentially reshaping its investment portfolio and capital structure.

Because Shanghai International Group and its subsidiary SIG Investment are substantial shareholders and connected persons, the deal is treated as a connected transaction under Hong Kong Listing Rules and will require compliance with reporting, disclosure, and possibly independent shareholders’ approval. The transaction also hinges on obtaining a Whitewash Waiver and other conditions, meaning the deal may not proceed, and shareholders are urged to exercise caution as regulatory and shareholder approvals could materially affect execution and timing.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:2611) stock is a Buy with a HK$14.61 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Guotai Junan Securities Co., Ltd. Class H stock, see the HK:2611 Stock Forecast page.
