Megain’s Share Subscription with Geehy Recast as Connected Deal Amid Takeover Move

The latest announcement is out from MEGAIN Holding (Cayman) Co. Ltd. ( (HK:6939) ).

Megain Holding has entered into subscription agreements with Geehy International Limited, under which Geehy will subscribe for 103,750,000 new shares at HK$0.61 each, representing 20% of the company’s existing share capital and about 16.67% of its enlarged share base. The move is linked to an ongoing possible mandatory cash offer for Megain and will see the new shares issued under a specific mandate, after the Hong Kong Stock Exchange exercised its discretion to deem Geehy a connected person, triggering stricter disclosure and independent shareholder approval requirements.

The Stock Exchange’s decision to classify the subscription as a connected transaction means Megain must seek independent shareholders’ approval at an extraordinary general meeting and comply with enhanced reporting and circular obligations. This regulatory stance underscores concerns around the inter-conditional nature of the share purchase and subscription deals and may influence how minority investors assess the changing control and governance structure at the company.
