Contel Technology Company Limited will seek shareholder approval on 14 July 2026 to issue 329.44 million new shares and expand its authorised capital, moves designed to inject up to HK$120.20 million gross (HK$119.70 million net) into the balance sheet of the financially strained semiconductor distributor.
Key terms
1. Specific-mandate fundraising • Subscription: Zhuangyan Investment International will subscribe for 271.23 million new shares at HK$0.365 each, generating HK$99.00 million gross (HK$98.70 million net). • Placing: Grand Moore Capital will place 58.21 million new shares on a best-effort basis, also at HK$0.365, for HK$21.20 million gross (HK$21.00 million net). • Issue size: 329.44 million shares equal to 250.00 % of current issued capital and 71.43 % of the enlarged share base (461.21 million shares). • Pricing: HK$0.365 represents a 34.82 % discount to the 4 May 2026 close of HK$0.560 and a 22.83 % discount to the preceding five-day average of HK$0.473. It is, however, 17.36 % above the 30 September 2025 unaudited NAV of HK$0.311 per share. • Completion: Subscription and placing are inter-conditional and targeted for completion by 31 July 2026; neither will proceed if the other fails, preserving the 25 % public-float requirement. • Post-deal ownership: The Subscriber will control 58.81 % of the enlarged share capital; existing chairman and CEO Mr Lam Keung’s stake will dilute to 14.37 %.

Background
Contel Technology has faced liquidity pressure since FY 2022. On 12 March 2026 the company received a statutory demand for US$7.50 million from Creditor-I, and it also owes HK$9.80 million to Creditor-II plus HK$13.40 million in overdue supplier payments. Management views the proposed fundraising as essential to settle these obligations and stabilise operations.
