WuXi AppTec announced that on 26 August 2026 it disposed of 53.52 million shares in WuXi XDC via a block trade. The divested shares represent approximately 4.23 % of WuXi XDC’s issued capital and generated cash proceeds of about HK$3.92 billion, equivalent to 4.21 % of WuXi AppTec’s audited net assets for 2025.

According to preliminary calculations under China Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises, the transaction is expected to contribute roughly RMB3.14 billion to WuXi AppTec’s 2026 profit before tax—an amount exceeding 10 % of its 2025 audited net profit.

The shareholding had been classified as a long-term equity investment. Management stated that the cash inflow will be channelled toward expanding global production capacity, strengthening the integrated CRDMO business model, and optimising the capital structure.

The disposal does not trigger connected-transaction or notifiable-transaction thresholds under Chapters 14A and 14 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules. WuXi AppTec advised shareholders and prospective investors to exercise caution when dealing in its securities.
