Orient Securities Co., Ltd. Class H ( (HK:3958) ) has shared an update.

Orient Securities has updated investors on discussions over a potential transaction that could involve issuing new A shares to certain sellers, which would raise their stake in the company and may trigger obligations under Hong Kong’s Takeovers Code. The firm intends to seek a whitewash waiver, conditional on independent shareholders’ approval, so that the transaction can proceed without a mandatory general offer if definitive agreements are eventually signed.

The proposed deal remains at a preliminary planning stage, with key terms, structure, and consideration still under negotiation and subject to internal approvals and regulatory clearances onshore and offshore. Trading in the company’s Shanghai-listed A shares remains suspended amid these uncertainties, while H-share trading in Hong Kong continues, and management has cautioned shareholders and potential investors to act prudently as there is no assurance the transaction will be completed.
