Ta Yang Group Holdings Limited Faces Winding-Up Petition: What Investors Need to Know

Summary of Key Events

• Winding-Up Petition Filed: On 19 March 2026, Ta Yang Group Holdings Limited (“the Company”) received a winding-up petition filed in the High Court of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region by Rising Jiarui Investment Management Co., Ltd. The petition seeks the winding up of the Company under the Companies (Winding Up and Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance (CWUMPO), due to the Company’s non-payment of HK\$50,377,777.78 (including accrued interest) relating to a HK\$40 million 10.0% convertible bond due 20 July 2026.
• Hearing Date: The High Court has scheduled the hearing of the petition for 10 June 2026.
• Potential Legal and Trading Implications: If the Company is ultimately wound up, any disposition of its property or transfer of shares made after the commencement date of the petition (19 March 2026) will be void unless a validation order is obtained from the Court. This legal restriction could severely impact the trading and transfer of the Company’s shares.

Critical Concerns for Shareholders

• CCASS Suspension Risk: In accordance with the guidance from Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited (HKSCC), share transfers through the Central Clearing and Settlement System (CCASS) may be temporarily suspended without notice. HKSCC may return submitted share certificates not yet re-registered and reverse credits in CCASS accounts. These measures remain until the petition is struck out, dismissed, permanently stayed, or a validation order is obtained.
• Restriction on Share Transfers: Any transfer of shares on or after the petition date could be void if the Company is ultimately wound up and no validation order is obtained. This presents a significant risk of illiquidity for shareholders, as shares may become non-transferable during this period.
• Potential Share Price Volatility: The filing of a winding-up petition, the risk of property disposition being void, and possible trading suspensions are all highly price-sensitive events. These factors could lead to substantial volatility or a sharp decline in the Company’s share price.
• No Winding-Up Order Yet: As of the announcement date, no winding-up order has been granted. The petition is currently only an application before the Court.

Company’s Response and Actions

• Immediate Legal Measures: The Company has promptly sought legal advice and is implementing steps to safeguard its rights. It intends to firmly oppose the petition, arguing that it does not reflect the interests of other stakeholders and could adversely affect Company value.
• Potential Validation Order: The Company is considering whether to apply for a validation order from the Court to allow its share transfers and property dispositions to continue.
• Negotiations and Settlement: The Company is proactively engaging with the petitioner to seek a mutually acceptable settlement.
• Repayment Strategy: Ta Yang plans to use internal resources and/or external financing to repay the outstanding amount on the convertible bond. Additionally, proceeds from a proposed rights issue (announced on 4 February 2026 and 13 March 2026) are earmarked for repayment.
• Uncertainty Remains: There is no assurance that negotiations will succeed, that the petition will be struck out or dismissed, or that a winding-up order will not be granted.

Corporate Governance Update

• As of 23 March 2026, the Board comprises two executive Directors (Ms. Shi Qi and Mr. Li Jiuhua), four non-executive Directors (Mr. Gu Shixiang, Mr. Han Lei, Mr. Wang Dongzhu, and Mr. Law Wai Ip Vincent), and three independent non-executive Directors (Ms. Zhang Li, Mr. Zhang Li, and Dr. Xie Jun).
