Gansu Lanpec Technologies Co., Ltd. 601798.SS (CN) · MCAP $429M · EV $429M
Fwd P/E: 58.4x · EV/Sales: 3.3x · EV/GP: 12.8x (FY2026)
Gansu Lanpec Technologies designs and manufactures equipment for the petrochemical and oil refining industries, including heat exchangers, air coolers, and pressure vessels. The acquisition target, China Air Separation Engineering, provides engineering, procurement, and construction services for air separation and industrial gas projects.
Lanpec Technologies Limited (601798.SS) signed a definitive draft agreement to acquire China Air Separation Engineering Co., Ltd. from its parent company, China Pufa Machinery Industry Co., Ltd. The transaction is structured as a major asset purchase and related-party transaction, including a profit forecast compensation agreement where the seller provides indemnity if the target's realized net profit falls below forecasts. Detailed disclosure of the acquisition terms and target financials was released through a draft asset purchase report on June 3, 2026. The deal remains subject to approval from both a shareholders' meeting and the China Securities Regulatory Commission. This material asset injection by the parent entity into its listed subsidiary carries deal-completion risk tied to the regulatory review process and the performance-based earn-out.

Apple Flavor & Fragrance Group Co., Ltd. 603020.SS (CN) · MCAP $547M · EV $340M
Apple Flavor & Fragrance Group Co., Ltd. is a Chinese manufacturer of edible and daily-use flavors and fragrances. Target NovoSana (Taicang) Biotechnology Co., Ltd. operates in the biotechnology sector.
Apple Flavor & Fragrance Group Co.,Ltd. (603020.SS), a manufacturer of edible and daily-use flavors and fragrances, extended the deadline to sign a definitive agreement for its $67M cash acquisition of NovoSana (Taicang) Biotechnology Co., Ltd. to June 30, 2026. The transaction is structured to acquire an initial 80% equity stake in the biotechnology company, with the remaining 20% to be purchased after a performance commitment period expires. Parties missed the previous May 29 deadline due to incomplete escrow account setup and regulatory procedures, despite obtaining shareholder approval on May 28, 2026. While the delay is attributed to procedural mechanics rather than deal-break risk, this third extension since the initial February 2026 letter of intent warrants monitoring of the deferred tranche's embedded contingent consideration structure tied to future performance.

Chengdu Xinzhu Road & Bridge Machinery Co., Ltd. 002480.SZ (CN) · MCAP $724M · EV $2.0B
Chengdu Xinzhu Road & Bridge Machinery is a Shenzhen-listed manufacturer of bridge functional components and maglev transportation systems, now pivoting to clean energy via a state-directed asset swap.
On June 3, 2026, Sichuan SASAC formally approved the adjusted major asset restructuring plan for Chengdu Xinzhu Road&Bridge Machinery Co.,LTD (002480.SZ). The transaction involves Xinzhu divesting its maglev transportation and bridge-component businesses to Shudao Group subsidiaries while acquiring a 60% stake in Sichuan Shudao Clean Energy Group via share issuance and cash. Xinzhu's board of directors previously approved the adjusted deal terms on May 11, 2026. Closing remains subject to shareholder approval and other regulatory clearances. SASAC approval represents the most significant regulatory milestone for this state-owned enterprise restructuring, signaling strong sponsor backing and materially de-risking Xinzhu's transformation into a clean-energy platform.

Anhui Deli Household Glass Co., Ltd. 002571.SZ (CN) · ¥12.66 · MCAP $733M · EV $853M
EV/GP: 24.6x
Anhui Deli Household Glass Co., Ltd. manufactures everyday glassware. The company has been under pressure from weak domestic consumption, high tariffs, and freight cost volatility, prompting it to seek a pivot into high-end manufacturing via this aerospace-linked control transaction.
Anhui Deli Household Glass Co., Ltd. (002571.SZ) and 辽宁翼元航空科技有限公司 signed a supplemental agreement on June 2, 2026, amending the terms of a control transfer via private placement. The maximum share subscription for the counterparty was reduced to 108.65 million shares, or 21.70% of post-issuance equity, from the original 117.59 million shares. Upon completion, the counterparty will become the controlling shareholder while current controller Shi Weidong unconditionally forfeits voting rights on his remaining stake. The acquiring SPV is controlled by Wang Tianzhong and Xu Qinghua, who also control aerospace component supplier Huatian Aviation. This China A-share backdoor control transfer reduces dilution by approximately 1.4 points, though the transaction remains subject to a multi-month regulatory overhang pending Shenzhen Stock Exchange and CSRC approvals.

Jilin Liyuan Precision Manufacturing Co., Ltd. 002501.SZ (CN) · MCAP $828M · EV $857M
Liyuan manufactures automotive lightweight, new-energy, industrial, and architectural aluminum products. Target Jinli produces recycled aluminum alloy ingots from scrap aluminum, operating in the metal-waste recycling segment.
Jilin Liyuan Precision Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (002501.SZ) entered a framework agreement to acquire 35,394,885 shares, representing 36.19% of Jiangxi Jinli City Mining Co., Ltd., for a provisional RMB 111.1 million in cash. The RMB 3.14 per share purchase is supplemented by an irrevocable delegation of voting rights on an additional 29.53% stake, granting Liyuan 65.72% total voting control. Sellers provided a three-year profit guarantee through 2028 with compensation capped at 30% of deal value, supported by a 70% backstop from Liyuan's controlling shareholder. Post-closing, Liyuan holds an option to acquire the remaining Jinli shares at a 10x earnings multiple, and sellers possess a corresponding put right. The transaction utilizes a cash and voting-rights delegation structure on the NEEQ board to bypass CSRC share-issuance review while still qualifying as a major asset restructuring.

Hengdian Group Tospo Lighting manufactures and sells lighting products and LED components. The target, Zhejiang Jiali Industry, is a manufacturer of automotive lighting and related components.
Hengdian Group Tospo Lighting (603303.SS) is proceeding with a $214 million all-cash acquisition of a 67.48% controlling stake in NEEQ-listed automotive lighting manufacturer Zhejiang Jiali (Lishui) Industry Co., Ltd. The transaction is structured through a CNY 653.75 million share purchase from 15 sellers and a CNY 800 million subscription for newly issued shares. Following shareholder approval in February 2026, the company has obtained NEEQ stock-orientated issuance and specific-transfer confirmations (Gu Zhuan Han 2026-460 and 2026-753). The deal has moved into the payment and share transfer registration phase with core closing mechanics currently underway. This material consolidation of a listed subsidiary has already cleared exchange and shareholder hurdles, leaving execution on payment and settlement as the primary remaining risks for completion.

Hunan Finewow New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. 301232.SZ (CN) · MCAP $2.0B · EV $2.2B
Hunan Finewow New Energy Technology (飞沃科技) is a China-listed manufacturer of high-strength fasteners and precision components, primarily for wind power and industrial equipment. Its commercial aerospace segment remains nascent, contributing under 1% of 2025 revenue.
Finework (Hu Nan) New Energy Technology Co., Ltd (301232.SZ) signed a definitive agreement to acquire a 60% stake in Xi'an Chuanghang Precision from Gao Rui and Wang Yuefeng for RMB 43.2M in cash. The transaction values the target at RMB 72M for 100% of equity, representing a discount to the RMB 73.53M asset appraisal value. Xi'an Chuanghang, which specializes in commercial aerospace valve components, generated 2025 net profit of RMB 5.14M on revenue of RMB 29.1M. The agreement includes a five-year lock-up for the remaining 40% seller and a right of first refusal framework for the residual stake. Expected to close by July 1, 2026, the acquisition requires no shareholder vote to proceed. Post-deal integration and the potential follow-on buyout of the residual 40% are the primary monitoring points as the deal triples aerospace headcount for a buyer currently trading at 299x PE.

CECEP Environmental Protection Co., Ltd. 300140.SZ (CN) · MCAP $2.8B · EV $4.2B
Fwd P/E: 13.0x · EV/EBITDA: 35.0x · EV/Sales: 10.7x · EV/GP: 30.2x (FY2029)
CECEP Environmental Protection provides energy conservation and environmental protection equipment and services. The subsidiary being sold, Qiyuan Equipment, manufactures specialized electromechanical equipment including transformers, power distribution gear, industrial robots, and environmental machinery.
CECEP Environmental Protection Co., Ltd. (300140.SZ) has been notified by its parent company that affiliate CECEP Techand Ecology & Environment Co., Ltd. (300197.SZ) intends to acquire a controlling stake in its Qiyuan Equipment subsidiary for cash. The transaction is at a preliminary planning stage with no indicative agreement signed, purchase price determined, or finalized deal structure. Target subsidiary Qiyuan Equipment reported 2025 net income of RMB 41 million on revenue of RMB 412 million. Potential buyer CECEP Techand Ecology is currently listed as a dishonest executee in China's social credit system and recorded a 2025 net loss of RMB 2.07 billion. While this intragroup transfer establishes a valuation precedent for the profitable subsidiary, the buyer’s distressed financials and blacklisted status raise the question of whether the parent will direct an above-market price to support the weaker affiliate.

Beijing Oriental Yuhong Waterproof Technology Co., Ltd. 002271.SZ (CN) · MCAP $4.5B · EV $5.2B
Fwd P/E: 16.7x · EV/EBITDA: 10.4x · EV/Sales: 1.1x · EV/GP: 4.6x (FY2026)
Beijing Oriental Yuhong is China's largest waterproofing materials manufacturer, producing waterproof membranes, coatings, and specialty mortars for infrastructure and commercial construction. The company is expanding internationally through bolt-on acquisitions in high-growth emerging markets.
Beijing Oriental Yuhong Waterproof Technology Co., Ltd. (002271.SZ) announced its subsidiary will acquire 55% controlling stakes in Indonesian manufacturers PT Inter Aneka Lestari Kimia (PTIALK) and PT Adhi Cakra Utama Mulia (PTACUM) for IDR 1,426,387,631,914 (~CNY 542.03M). Consideration involves IDR 307B for a 14.47% subscription and IDR 859.5B for a 40.53% purchase of PTIALK, plus IDR 259.9B for the stake in PTACUM. Based on 2025 financials, the transactions imply multiples of 8.49x EV/EBITDA for PTIALK and 9.60x EV/EBITDA for PTACUM, subject to closing adjustments for net cash and working capital. Following board approval on June 2, 2026, the deal requires shareholder approval at the 2026 second extraordinary general meeting because the combined net profit of the targets exceeds 50% of the company's 2025 audited net profit. Completion is contingent on Chinese ODI approval and Indonesian BKPM and MOL notifications. While the acquisition establishes a meaningful beachhead in Southeast Asia's largest construction market, Chinese ODI and Indonesian regulatory processes introduce timeline uncertainty for closure.

Soochow Securities Co., Ltd. 601555.SS (CN) · MCAP $5.5B · EV $7.4B
Fwd P/E: 9.9x (FY2026)

Donghai Securities Co., Ltd. is a non-listed Chinese brokerage with 69 branches nationwide, engaged in securities brokerage, underwriting, and asset management.
Soochow Securities Co., Ltd. (601555.SS) has commissioned an independent valuation report from Beijing Zhongqihua Assets Appraisal Co., Ltd. for a proposed equity acquisition of non-listed broker Donghai Securities Co., Ltd. The report values 100% of Donghai Securities equity at ¥13,765.17 million, representing a 40.76% premium over consolidated book equity of ¥9,779.17 million as of the December 31, 2025, assessment date. Utilizing market-based and asset-based methods, the appraisal serves as a pricing reference for the $2.0B potential transaction. Although the June 3, 2026, filing confirms the deal is advancing beyond preliminary study, no definitive share transfer agreement or final consideration terms have been reached. The valuation report provides the first concrete pricing framework for a potential acquisition of Donghai Securities, though the transaction remains non-binding and lacks a disclosed offer price or structure.

TCL Technology Group Corporation 000100.SZ (CN) · MCAP $14.7B · EV $41.7B
Fwd P/E: 14.1x · EV/EBITDA: 8.4x · EV/Sales: 1.4x · EV/GP: 14.4x (FY2026)
TCL Technology Group is a Chinese electronics conglomerate with core operations in semiconductor display panels and advanced materials. Through subsidiary China Star Optoelectronics, it manufactures large-size LCD and OLED panels for TVs, monitors, and mobile devices.
TCL Technology Group Corporation (000100.SZ) amended its $1.4B acquisition of a 45% minority stake in Guangzhou China Star Semiconductor from Guangdong Hengjian Investment, Guangzhou Chengfa Starlight Investment, and Science City (Guangzhou) Investment Group. The board canceled a planned ¥4.66 billion share issuance to institutional investors that was intended to fund the cash component of the ¥9.325 billion total consideration. TCL Technology will now fund the ¥4.66 billion cash portion via internal cash and borrowings, while the ¥4.66 billion share-based component remains unchanged. This amendment does not require a new shareholder vote as it is not deemed a material adjustment under China's Major Asset Restructuring rules. Dropping the ¥4.66B placement removes dilution risk for shareholders and reduces deal-completion uncertainty as the asset purchase progresses using internal funds.

Gansu Lanpec (601798.SS) is planning the cash acquisition of a 51% stake in China Air Separation Engineering Co., Ltd. from China Pufa Machinery. The transaction is structured as a major asset restructuring under Shanghai Stock Exchange rules that does not involve share issuance or a change of control. Lanpec recently disclosed that the pledged target equity has been released and the pledgee has consented to deregistration, following a supplemental agreement from October 31, 2025. The transaction remains at the planning stage with no definitive agreement signed and requires board and regulatory approvals. The unblocking of the pledged target equity is the first concrete progress signal since the revised scope was announced in October 2025, with a definitive SPA remaining the next binary catalyst for this cash-funded, non-dilutive acquisition.

The target operates a 260 ton/day food waste facility that reported 2025 revenue of RMB 28M and net income of RMB 10M. Closing is subject to consent from the Hengyang Urban Management Bureau and the seller clearing over RMB 58.8M in intercompany debts with Tus-Environment. A 35% minority shareholder has not yet waived pre-emptive rights regarding the transaction. The deal secures a distressed asset at a 9.6% discount to the winning judicial auction price through a motivated-seller dynamic.

The company will close its books from June 12 to June 17, 2026, in anticipation of the vote. The June 17 EGM is the gating approval event for this connected-party acquisition requiring independent shareholder approval, and the two-day circular delay is procedural rather than a deal-risk signal.

Shenzhen Cotran New Material manufactures polymer-based functional materials (waterproof, sealing, shock-absorption) for telecom, automotive, and power sectors. Target Ziitek produces thermal interface materials (thermal pads, gels, graphite sheets, liquid metal) and EMI shielding products for electronics OEMs globally.
Shenzhen Cotran New Material (300731.SZ) signed a definitive agreement with Thermazig Limited and Liao Zhisheng to acquire 50% of Dongguan Ziitek and Singapore Zhike for total consideration of RMB 245 million.

The transaction includes a three-year earnout with 30% of the consideration deferred and tied to cumulative performance targets and asset impairment tests evaluated by. Following a May 28 board resolution, the binding acquisition remains subject to approval at the third extraordinary general meeting and cross-border regulatory filings, including Overseas Direct Investment and Taiwan investment reviews. The earnout structure makes the eventual total cost to Cotran dependent on the target's post-close execution, shifting the investment focus to the upcoming shareholder vote and the timeline for required regulatory clearances.

Crystal Clear Electronic Material Co., Ltd. produces ultra-clean high-purity reagents, photoresists, and electronic chemicals used in semiconductor and flat-panel-display manufacturing in China.
Crystal Clear Electronic Material Co., Ltd. (300655.SZ) announced board approval on May 27, 2026, for amended terms to its 76.0951% acquisition of Hubei Crystal Clear from four investment funds via share issuance. The revisions extend lock-up periods for financial investors from 12 to 36 months and introduce an 18-month lock-up for the controlling shareholder, alongside a related-party impairment compensation commitment for 2026-2028. Advisor Great Wall Securities issued an opinion stating these changes do not constitute a material adjustment to the restructuring plan under CSRC rules. The transaction, initially announced in November 2024, now enters a revised-draft phase following multiple revisions throughout 2025. The extended share lock-ups materially affect the post-close float dynamic and selling-pressure timeline, while the non-material-adjustment finding keeps the deal on its existing review track without restarting the regulatory clock.

Jinhui Mining engages in exploration, mining, and processing of non-ferrous metals, primarily gold, in Gansu Province, China. The company is listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
Jinhui Mining (603132.SS) entered into a framework agreement to acquire 100% of Lixian Deyuan Mining for RMB 288,000,000 in cash. The target holds rights to 4,100 kg of gold metal and an exploration permit for 1,136 kg of gold metal, though these licenses are currently registered under a third-party seller and one permit is expired. The staged transaction requires Jinhui Mining to fund the seller to consolidate these mining rights prior to closing, with a 20% down payment due within 15 working days of the May 29, 2026, board approval. A price adjustment mechanism applies if the final valuation of the assets is less than 90% of the deal price. The acquisition is a high-risk resource deal structured through a privately negotiated earn-in on distressed assets where the buyer funds a pre-condition sequence of third-party title transfers that could fail to close.

Henan Xinning Modern Logistics provides integrated logistics services in China, including warehousing, transportation, and supply chain management. The subsidiary stake being sold is in a Hong Kong-based warehousing and freight entity over which the parent lost operational control.
Henan Xinning Modern Logistics Co.,Ltd. (300013.SZ) announced that Shunuo Network Technology Co., Ltd. won the auction to acquire its 43% stake in Hong Kong Xinning Modern Logistics for RMB 8.34M ($1.14M). The transaction, conducted through a public listing on the Henan State-owned Property Rights Trading Platform, requires the buyer to assume all risks related to the target company's lack of financial data and the target director's discretion to block share transfer registration. Henan Xinning had fully impaired this investment in 2022 after losing operational control and the ability to obtain financial statements or exercise shareholder rights. The divestiture is expected to generate an estimated non-recurring profit of approximately RMB 8.34M due to the prior impairment. The transaction facilitates a zero-risk recovery for the seller on a distressed asset while removing a long-standing governance black hole.

Full payment is due within five days of signing, with equity transfer registration scheduled for completion within 10 working days of receiving the purchase price and dividend. The disposal extracts RMB 18.6 million in cash from a low-margin unit and deconsolidates RMB 10.8 million in assets, serving as a clean small-cap deleveraging move with minimal closing risk.

Harbin Dongan Auto Engine Co.,Ltd (600178.SS) announced a plan to divest idle land and buildings in Dezhou, Shandong, through a public listing on a property exchange. Following board approval on June 2, 2026, the initial listing price is set at RMB 15.05 million with a floor price established at 90% of the RMB 14.33 million appraisal value. The assets carry a net book value of RMB 7.07 million as of Q1 2026, suggesting a potential pre-tax gain of approximately RMB 7 million to RMB 8 million if sold near the listing price. The transaction requires shareholder approval and the outcome remains uncertain as no buyer has been identified. While the sale of non-core assets at a potential 100% premium to book value reflects active pruning of legacy assets, the sub-$3 million valuation limits the portfolio impact of this non-transformative divestiture.

Beijing Digital Certification Co., Ltd. provides digital certificate authentication, electronic signature, and information security services to Chinese enterprises and government entities.
Beijing Certificate Authority Co.,Ltd. (300579.SZ) received RMB 2.15 million in overdue interest from Chuangye Heima Technology Group Co., Ltd. on June 4, 2026, following the buyer's failure to settle the remaining RMB 71.7 million principal for a 36.6015% stake in Banxintong. The original RMB 102.48 million divestiture, signed June 4, 2025, required a 30% down payment with the balance due within one year. Chuangye Heima has formally requested a payment extension while its concurrent restructuring fundraising undergoes review by the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. This transfer is linked to a larger transaction sequence where Chuangye Heima is acquiring 100% of Banxintong via a share-and-cash deal. The buyer’s inability to settle the final installment signals regulatory delay on its own restructuring application, and a review failure would either force the seller to remarket the stake or pursue enforcement under the contract's default provisions.

The subsidiary was operationally inactive with zero revenue in the first four months of 2026. Both the buyer and seller are under the same ultimate controller, though the transaction does not constitute a major asset restructuring. This balance-sheet cleanup exercise removes a deeply negative-equity subsidiary from consolidated accounts to eliminate a liability overhang and the associated consolidation drag on the parent's reported equity.

Beijing Tongguan Yingxin Cultural Tourism Development Co., Ltd. is a Shenzhen-listed company primarily engaged in cultural tourism and property development. It operates through subsidiaries focused on theme parks, hotels, and real-estate projects.
Winnovation Culturaltainment Development Limited (000620.SZ) signed a definitive agreement to divest its 100% stake in Xining Yingxin Property to 锡彭市政建设(江苏)有限公司 for $15M. The transaction involves the buyer assuming ¥35.3M of the parent company's debt for a developer with negative net assets of ¥(27.9)M and ¥227M in total liabilities. The target currently faces outstanding litigation claims and tax enforcement actions over unpaid taxes. Winnovation expects to recognize a non-cash ¥470M net profit gain from the disposal, which does not require a shareholder vote and targets a June 16, 2026, closing. While the non-cash ¥470M accounting gain will flatter earnings without producing cash, the removal of ¥227M in liabilities from the balance sheet represents a concrete deleveraging step for a company trading at a stressed valuation.

Inner Mongolia Jinmei Chemical Technology produces coal-based chemicals, primarily acetic anhydride, via its main operating subsidiary Jiangsu Danhua Acetic Anhydride Co. The company is dual-listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in A-shares and B-shares.
Inner Mongolia Jinmei Chemical Technology (600844.SS) announced that its subsidiary, Jiangsu Danhua Acetic Anhydride Co., will sell a 39.47% stake in Jining Jindan via a public listing on a property-rights exchange. The reserve price is set at RMB 5.7271M, matching the current carrying value after multiple impairments from an original RMB 60M investment. Jining Jindan is a distressed entity with a suspended acetic anhydride project and active lawsuits, and is currently classified as a dishonest judgment debtor. Other Jining Jindan shareholders hold a right of first refusal, and the seller's board has authorized staged price reductions if the initial listing fails to attract a buyer. The transaction would remove a non-performing associate and legacy impairment overhang, though final pricing may fall below book value given the target’s litigation status and authorized price reductions.

Shanghai DragonNet Technology Co.,Ltd. (300245.SZ) announced progress on its RMB 50M–100M share repurchase program authorized at a price not exceeding 16 CNY/share.

This utilization represents 98.7% of the lower bound of the board’s authorized range. Under Shenzhen Stock Exchange rules, these shares are earmarked for resale rather than cancellation. The near-exhaustion of the buyback removes the mechanical bid from the market, and the program’s resale purpose indicates this was price-support flow rather than a permanent reduction in share count.

The transaction utilizes a 90% loan backing under China's new stock-buyback relending program, serving as a policy-supported capital-return execution that directly accretes EPS.

Cumulative repurchases have reached 4,386,200 shares, or 1.00% of total equity, at a price range of RMB 2.03 to RMB 2.25. Although these buybacks have caused the controlling shareholder's voting rights to passively exceed 30%, the company cited a regulatory exemption from mandatory tender offer requirements. This forced A-share delisting creates a short-duration exit window through a buyback program at a premium to current market prices, while the passive breach of the 30% control threshold without a mandatory general offer establishes a notable regulatory precedent under CSRC rules.
