Bank of Jinzhou (00416.HK): Liaoning Financial Holding Group makes a takeover offer for the company

Bank of Jinzhou (00416.HK) announced that on January 26, 2024, the offender, Liaoning Financial Holding Group Co., Ltd. and the Bank jointly announced that (i) CICC stated that it would make a voluntary conditional full cash offer to acquire all H shares at an offer price of HK$1.38 per H share (equivalent to the closing price of HK$1.38 per H share as reported by the Stock Exchange on the last trading day) and (ii) the offeror stated that it would make a voluntary conditional full cash offer per share All domestic stocks were purchased at an offer price of RMB 1.25 Domestic shares issued.

After the H share offer becomes unconditional and the shareholders approve the delisting at the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders and the approval of the delisting by independent H share shareholders at the H share class shareholders' meeting, the Bank will apply for delisting in accordance with section 6.12 of the Listing Rules.

The offender is a limited liability company registered in China on December 18, 2019. The business scope is: investment and capital management; capital investment services; privately raised securities investment funds; holding company services; and financial information services. The sole shareholder of the offeror is the Liaoning Provincial Department of Finance, which held 100% of the offeror's shares on the date of this announcement.

Reasons and benefits of making the offer: (1) Since the Bank's H shares have been in a relatively low price range for most of the time, the trading volume of the Bank's H shares has also been sluggish. (2) The Bank's H shares announced the suspension of trading on January 20, 2023, and announced major financial restructuring information on February 2, 2023. As of the date of this announcement, the Bank plans to continue to postpone the publication of the audited financial results for the financial year ended 31 December 2022 and the interim financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2023. On the date of this announcement, the Bank and its auditors were still unable to determine the schedule for announcing the above financial results.

After implementation of the offer, the offeror has no intention of listing the shares in other markets. Considering that the Bank is a regional commercial bank, after delisting, the Bank will continue to carry out characteristic operations based on the local area and focus on its main business. The offeror will still be able to suggest strategic adjustments to the Group's business, structure and/or direction from time to time as required by actual circumstances. In addition to the above circumstances, the offeror will maintain the Bank's current business to the extent possible.
