Eoptolink chairman transfers pre-IPO shares to fund frontier tech

China International Capital Corporation Limited (CICC) has verified the inquiry-based transfer of shares by Gao Guangrong, controlling shareholder and chairman of Eoptolink Technology. CICC confirmed that Gao Guangrong meets eligibility requirements, including compliance with share reduction rules and commitments, and that the shares are not pledged or frozen. The transfer involves pre-IPO shares and does not require additional review or approval.

Gao Guangrong intends to transfer 11,430,682 shares, representing 1.15% of the company's total share capital, for personal capital needs to support frontier technology investments in new productive forces. This non-public transfer ensures recipients cannot resell shares for six months. Gao Guangrong also commits to not conducting secondary market share reductions for 12 months post-transfer. The pricing floor will be no less than 70% of the average trading price over the 20 trading days prior to September 30, 2025.

Receiving institutions must be qualified professional institutional investors, including brokerages, fund management companies, and qualified overseas investors, or private equity firms registered with the Asset Management Association of China. Eoptolink announced the transfer is not expected to change the company's control.
