China Oriental Group Co. Ltd. announced that its subsidiary, Jinxi Heavy Industry, has acquired 2,000,000 shares of Jiangsu Shentong Valve Co., Ltd., representing approximately 0.39% of Jiangsu Shentong's issued share capital. The acquisition was made via an on-market trade on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. The transaction, when aggregated with previous acquisitions of Jiangsu Shentong shares by the Group within the last 12 months, exceeds 0.1% but is less than 5% under the applicable percentage ratio of the Hong Kong Listing Rules. As such, the deal is subject to reporting and announcement requirements but does not require a circular or independent shareholders' approval. Certain related parties, including Mr. HAN Li and Mr. HAN Jingyuan, abstained from voting on the Board resolution approving the acquisition due to their connected relationships.
