This business, held in an indirect subsidiary referred to as the Target, provides essential network access services that underpin regional telecommunications.

The group has received a new offer from CM Silk Road Capital Management Limited, a company controlled by China Merchants Capital, to acquire an additional 9% equity interest in the Target along with 9% of certain shareholder receivables. The parties are still finalising terms, and the deal may not proceed, but if completed it would deepen CM Capital’s stake in the passive network business and could signal further capital recycling and strategic partnership for PCCW and HKT in their infrastructure assets.
