Detailed Analysis and Implications for Shareholders
1. Close of Offer and Minimal Share Acceptance
The mandatory unconditional cash offer, made on behalf of Dacheng International Holdings Limited by Solarstone Capital Limited, was not extended or revised and closed on 6 March 2026. Only 0.05% of the company’s shares were tendered for acceptance, indicating most shareholders chose not to participate at the offer price of HK\$0.095/share. This low acceptance suggests that the market may perceive the offer price as undervaluing the company or that existing shareholders have confidence in future prospects under the new controlling shareholder.
2. Major Change in Shareholding Structure
Following the offer, Dacheng International Holdings Limited (wholly owned by Mr. Zou Feng) and its concert parties increased their shareholding from 75.00% to 75.05%. The public float dropped slightly to 24.95%, just below the minimum regulatory threshold. Shareholders should note this concentration of ownership could impact the liquidity and tradability of Skymission shares in the short term, and potentially influence corporate governance and strategic decisions going forward.

3. Public Float and Regulatory Compliance Risks
The drop in public float below 25% is a critical regulatory issue. The company must maintain at least a 25% public float (unless the alternative threshold applies for companies with market value above HK\$1 billion, which is not the case here). The current shortfall, though not classified as “significant” under the Listing Rules, still requires prompt rectification. The Board and new directors have committed to restoring compliance as soon as possible, with an update to be provided within 15 business days. This process may involve placing shares to new investors or other mechanisms to increase the free float, which could potentially affect share price volatility and trading dynamics in the short term.
4. Settlement of Offer
For those shareholders who accepted the offer, payment (net of Hong Kong seller’s stamp duty) will be sent by ordinary post by 17 March 2026 at the latest. Investors should ensure their acceptance documentation is complete to avoid delays.
Important Information for Shareholders
- The controlling shareholder now holds over 75% of the company, which may affect the company’s governance and future direction.
- The company is temporarily non-compliant with public float requirements and may face regulatory scrutiny if compliance is not restored promptly.
- No significant share price-sensitive information about business operations or strategic changes was disclosed in this announcement, but public float issues and potential share placing could affect future price movement.
- Shareholders should monitor further announcements regarding the restoration of public float, as any remedial actions (e.g., share placements) could impact market supply and price levels.
Board Composition
As of this announcement, the Board comprises three executive directors (Mr. Leung Yam Cheung, Mr. Leung Wing Chun, Mr. Leung Chau Ming), one non-executive director (Mr. Yau Sheung Hang), and three independent non-executive directors (Mr. Tang Tsz Tsun, Ms. Wu Kin Yi, Mr. Lei Nelson). Mr. Zou Feng is the sole director of Dacheng International Holdings Limited.
