天齊鋰業(002466.SZ)董事會同意參股公司SQM增資擴股暨公司放棄優先認購權
格隆匯 01-15 21:11

格隆匯 1 月 15日丨天齊鋰業(002466.SZ)公佈,公司2021115召開的第五屆董事會第十次會議和第五屆監事會第十次會議審議通過了《關於同意參股公司增資擴股暨公司放棄優先認購權的議案》。

公司的參股公司Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile S.A. (“SQM”)20201223日(智利聖地亞哥當地時間)召開董事會審議批准了啟動增資擴股籌集資金的程序,擬發行約2240萬股B類股份以獲得11億美元的增資,為其擬於2021-2024年開展的19億美元投資計劃提供部分資金,該計劃將用於擴大SQM公司鋰、碘及硝酸鹽等業務,包括其智利工廠的碳酸鋰和氫氧化鋰擴產項目以及位於西澳大利亞Mt.Holland5萬噸氫氧化鋰等項目,以增長和保持SQM公司在鋰、硝酸鉀、碘和熱熔鹽市場的領先地位。根據SQM發佈的公吿,其擬使用10億美元將用於擴充其智利的碳酸鋰和氫氧化鋰工廠產能(計劃將碳酸鋰產能從7萬噸提升至18萬噸,氫氧化鋰產能從1.35萬噸提升至3萬噸),以及建設位於澳大利亞Mount Holland的氫氧化鋰項目。Mount Holland項目的最終投資決定預計將由SQM董事會在2021年第一季度作出。同時約有4.4億美元將用於投資生硝礦開採業務和擴充硝酸鹽及碘的生產產能,其中1.5億美元與海水管道項目有關。另外,維護性資本支出預計將保持在每年約1.2億美元,折舊預計平均每年約2.5億美元。

該事項尚需提交SQM計劃於2021122日召開的臨時股東大會審議並經至少三分之二A類股股東表決通過方能實施。根據智利法律,增資將受到強制性的對現有股東採取30天優先購買權發行期的限制,因此SQM計劃向美國存託憑證的現有持有人提供並行的優先購買權發行。

截至目前,公司通過全資子公司Inversiones TLC SpA (“天齊智利”)持有SQM A類股62,556,568股,佔其A類股本的比例為43.80%;通過全資子公司Tianqi Lithium HK Co.,Limited (“天齊鋰業香港”)持有SQM B類股5,516,772股,佔其B類股本的比例為4.58%;合計持股數量佔其總股本的比例為25.86%。根據SQM20201223日(智利聖地亞哥當地時間)發佈的增資計劃,公司可選擇支付約5040萬美元(按照2021114日中國外匯交易中心受權公佈的人民幣匯率中間價折算約為人民幣32631.984萬元)獲得B類股同比例增資的優先購買權,同時,公司可行使所持A類股的否決權,以終止上述增資事項。

基於SQM上述募集資金用途,可以預見此次增資擴股將有利於增強SQM本實力,增加其資金規模以保障擴產項目的順利推進同時可以不斷提升其競爭力和市場份額,確保其長期穩定的發展,符合SQM公司利益另外,考慮到公司目前的財務狀況和資金壓力,經公司第五屆董事會第十三次會議和第五屆監事會第十二次會議審議通過,同意並授權公司管理層代表公司投票贊成SQM增資擴股事宜,同時放棄公司享有的B類股同比例優先認購權。公司放棄前述同比例優先認購權後,公司對SQM的持股比例下降至23.84%,相對於原有持股比例25.86%,被動稀釋約2.03%(實際降低比例將視SQM實際發行股份數量確定)。
