HKBN has entered into a Distribution Framework Agreement with Venustech under which HKBN will act as distributor of Venustech’s network security products and solutions in Hong Kong and Macao until 31 December 2028, including exclusive distribution rights for Venus Firewall products in these markets for the first year. As Venustech is a subsidiary of HKBN’s controlling shareholder China Mobile Communications, the arrangement is treated as a continuing connected transaction under Hong Kong listing rules, but given the modest transaction size it is subject only to reporting, annual review and announcement requirements, with no need for a shareholder circular or independent shareholders’ approval, suggesting limited regulatory burden while expanding HKBN’s cybersecurity product portfolio.
