Shaw Brothers Holdings Limited ( (HK:0953) ) just unveiled an update.

Shaw Brothers Holdings Limited has agreed to acquire the entire issued share capital of CMC Moon Holdings Limited from its substantial shareholder CMC, in a deal valued at RMB4.5765 billion to be settled entirely by issuing approximately 15.93 billion new shares at HK$0.32 each. The target business comprises content production and investment for films, dramas and non-drama programming in Mainland China and overseas, alongside the operation of more than 50 cinemas under the UME brand and a theatrical distribution circuit, which will become wholly owned and consolidated into Shaw Brothers upon closing. Because key Listing Rules thresholds are exceeded, the transaction constitutes a very substantial acquisition and may be treated as an “extreme transaction” rather than a reverse takeover, subject to Hong Kong Stock Exchange review of detailed disclosures and due diligence, a classification that will shape regulatory requirements and could significantly expand Shaw Brothers’ scale and positioning in the regional film and cinema market.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:0953) stock is a Hold with a HK$0.37 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Shaw Brothers Holdings Limited stock, see the HK:0953 Stock Forecast page.
