Leader Education Sells Loss-Making Tianjin Unit in Connected RMB8 Million Deal and Admits Listing Rules Breach

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Leader Education Limited ( (HK:1449) ) has issued an update.

Leader Education Limited has sold 100% of its equity interest in its wholly owned subsidiary Tianjin Quanren Co. to a connected purchaser for RMB8.0 million, ending consolidation of the Quanren Group’s results, assets and liabilities into the group’s financial statements. The price, to be paid in cash within two months of the January 19, 2026 agreement, was set after arm’s length negotiations that took into account Tianjin Quanren’s loss-making performance and an independent valuation that was below the agreed consideration.

The disposal qualifies as a discloseable and connected transaction under Hong Kong listing rules, triggering reporting and announcement obligations but exempting the company from circular and shareholder approval requirements due to its size. Leader Education acknowledged that it failed to announce the transaction in a timely manner, constituting non-compliance with Chapters 14 and 14A of the Listing Rules, and has pledged tighter internal controls and approval procedures for future notifiable and connected deals to strengthen regulatory compliance.
