Tesson Plans Discounted Share Placement Backed by Controlling Shareholder

The latest update is out from Tesson Holdings Ltd. ( (HK:1201) ).

Tesson Holdings has agreed to place up to 70 million new shares at HK$1.50 each through Arta Asset Management on a best-efforts basis, representing about 18.94% of its existing share capital and raising net proceeds of roughly HK$103 million, subject to approval under a specific mandate. The deal, priced at a 33.63% discount to the benchmarked price, will be accompanied by an underwriting arrangement under which controlling shareholder Double Key will subscribe for up to 35 million unsubscribed shares, a connected transaction that triggers independent board review and shareholder approval but remains within Hong Kong listing rules on dilution.

The placement and underwriting structure are designed to secure funding while limiting theoretical dilution to about 14.63%, below the regulatory threshold, potentially strengthening the company’s capital base without breaching market protections. Governance safeguards include formation of an independent board committee and appointment of an independent financial adviser, with a circular to be sent to shareholders ahead of a special general meeting to vote on the mandate and connected transaction.
