Huobi Exchange Planning to Acquire Hong Kong Based Electronics Firm for $77 Million

2018-8-28 22:13

Popular cryptocurrency exchange Huobi is reportedly seeking to purchase a majority share of a Hong Kong-based electronics manufacturing service provider in a $77 million dollar acquisition. Coindesk reports that if completed, the deal could lead to Huobi going public on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange via a reverse takeover.

Pantronics Holdings has reveled in a shareholding disclosure report to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on August 21 that the company is transferring 221 million of its ordinary shares to Huobi Group Chairman Li Lin. Following the transfer, Li will own 73.73 percent of Pantronics, effectively making Huobi the new owner of the company. A representative from Huobi told Coindesk that the exchange is waiting to make a public announcement until the transfer is approved by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

“The deal, if approved, could give Huobi the opportunity to take over a public company and thus enter the secondary financial market – a process known as a reverse takeover,” reports Coindesk.
