BOCOM International Holdings Company Limited (3329) has announced that Preferred Investment Management Limited, its wholly owned subsidiary, acquired US$10 million in principal amount of CDB Aviation Lease Finance Designated Activity Company (CDBALF) Notes on 5 February 2026. The purchase price was approximately US$99.599, translating to a payment of around US$9,959,900 (equivalent to HK$78,185,215), funded by the group's internal resources.

CDBALF Notes II will be issued by CDBL Funding I under an unconditional and irrevocable guarantee from CDBALF, backed by keepwell and asset purchase arrangements from China Development Bank Financial Leasing Co., Ltd. (1606). This new acquisition adds to a previous transaction on 20 May 2025 for US$4 million in principal amount of other CDBALF notes.

The combined size of the transactions within a 12-month period led to a discloseable transaction classification under Chapters 14.22 and 14.06 of the Listing Rules. The board states this investment is part of ordinary business activity and intends to generate stable returns while managing risk.

Information from the announcement indicates that CDBALF is principally involved in aircraft leasing and financing, while CDBFLC focuses on finance and operating leasing. The counterparty in the latest acquisition was Standard Chartered Bank (Hong Kong) Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Standard Chartered PLC.
