(Lens Technology, 06613.HK) and Ju Teng International Holdings Limited (Ju Teng, 03336.HK) issued a joint update on the pre-conditional voluntary conditional general cash offer—made through CLSA Limited on behalf of Lens Technology—to acquire all Ju Teng shares not already held by the bidder and its concert parties.
Key developments

2. Status of Conditions Precedent • Satisfied: Conditions 1, 7 and 12. • Outstanding: Conditions 2–6, 8 (pending NDRC and FX filings) and 9–11.
3. Revised timeline • With Conditions 7–9 unmet by the original 18 September 2026 long-stop date, the share purchase agreement automatically extended the deadline to 18 January 2027, preserving deal viability while approvals are finalised.
Ongoing process and cautionary note
Both parties state they are actively working to complete the remaining regulatory steps required for transaction completion. Shareholders are reminded that the offer remains subject to all outstanding Conditions Precedent; completion, and therefore the cash offer, may or may not occur.
