Guiyang Bank sees ownership shift for major shareholder

Guiyang Bank Co., Ltd. has reported a change in its shareholder equity. This adjustment follows the absorption merger of Guizhou Wujiang Energy Group Co., Ltd., the controlling shareholder of Guizhou Wujiang Energy Investment Co., Ltd., by Guizhou Energy Group Co., Ltd. This transaction does not trigger a tender offer.

Following the equity change, Guizhou Energy will indirectly hold 200,832,586 A-shares of Guiyang Bank, representing 5.49% of the company's total share capital. Previously, Guizhou Energy had no direct or indirect holdings in Guiyang Bank. The share quantity and proportion held by Wujiang Energy Investment remain unchanged, and this change does not affect Guiyang Bank's largest shareholder.

The purpose of this equity change aligns with the Guizhou Provincial People's Government's strategic plan to strengthen state-owned enterprises in the energy sector and optimize state-owned asset allocation. Guizhou Energy, as the information disclosure obligor, has confirmed no plans to further increase or dispose of its indirect holdings in Guiyang Bank within the next 12 months.
