Leader Education Seals Major Finance Lease for RMB94.7 Million in Teaching Assets

The latest announcement is out from Leader Education Limited ( (HK:1449) ).

Leader Education’s Heilongjiang College of Business and Technology has entered into a finance lease arrangement with Zhejiang Artiking, under which the college will transfer computers and other electronic teaching equipment with an original book value of RMB94.7 million to Artiking and lease them back. The structure, classified as a major transaction under Hong Kong Listing Rules, allows the school to retain use of core teaching assets while unlocking balance-sheet value and potentially enhancing financial flexibility.

Because the highest applicable ratio for the deal exceeds 25% but is below 100%, the transaction requires reporting, announcement, circular and shareholder approval under Chapter 14, which has been obtained via written approvals from controlling shareholders holding about 74.5% of the company’s issued shares, removing the need for a general meeting. The company plans to seek a waiver on the deadline for dispatching the required circular as it needs more time to prepare financial disclosures, and will announce a revised timetable once agreed with the Stock Exchange.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:1449) stock is a Hold with a HK$0.25 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Leader Education Limited stock, see the HK:1449 Stock Forecast page.
