東方甄選(01797.HK)擬向母公司新東方配發5135.23萬股 總籌16.3億港元
格隆匯11月24日丨東方甄選(01797.HK)發佈公吿,公司於2023年11月24日開市前與認購人(新東方-S(09901.HK/紐交所股份代號:EDU))訂立認購協議,據此,公司有條件同意向認購人配發及發行5135.23萬股認購股份,認購價為每股股份31.75港元(相當於每股股份約4.08美元),認購總額為人民幣15億元(相當於協定金額16.30億港元或2.09億美元)。
認購事項須待獨立股東於股東特別大會上批准後方可作實,而倘獲批准,則認購事項的股份發行將根據特別授權進行。於本公吿日期,認購股份佔公司現時已發行股本的約5.06%及經根據認購事項發行股份而擴大的已發行股本的4.82%。認購事項所得款項總額將約為16.30億港元,所得款項淨額估計約為16.28億港元。所得款項將用於經營、開發及擴展集團業務,並用作一般財務管理及行政以及一般營運資金用途。
公吿表示,新東方為集團的母公司。董事認為認購事項對公司有利,主要有以下原因:(a)認購事項可為公司提供籌集資金以進一步加強其資本基礎及財務狀況的寶貴機會,從而為公司提供更大的財務靈活性,使其業務進一步發展及增長。(b)認購事項使新東方有機會進一步鞏固其於公司的多數股權,尤其是考慮到新東方根據公司股份激勵計劃發行股份將導致其於公司現時及預期的股權比例日後將會攤薄。新東方仍為集團的母公司,這對新東方及公司均有利,鑑於新東方在中國強大而悠久的品牌聲譽,兩個集團之間現有的協同效應及業務合作,以及兩個品牌的固有價值使兩個集團得以繼續保持緊密的聯盟關係及彼此之間的密切關係。(c)認購事項亦代表新東方對集團未來增長及長期可持續發展的信心及支持,尤其是對集團自有品牌產品及直播業務進一步增長的信心及支持。
