On August 27, CHINFMINING fell 3.49% in regular trading, trading at HK$16.43/share, with turnover of HK$46.06 million.
On the news front, the company announced it has signed a subscription agreement with CICC Hong Kong Securities to issue $300 million in zero-coupon convertible bonds due 2031, with proceeds earmarked for the Zambia No. 28 shaft project. The initial conversion price is set at HK$22.18 per share, representing a premium of approximately 29% over the August 26 closing price of HK$17.20. If fully converted, the bonds would generate approximately 106 million new shares, representing about 2.72% of the company's current issued share capital.
The convertible bond announcement comes shortly after the company reported robust first-half results on August 21, with attributable profit of $434 million, up 64.68% year-over-year, driven by rising international copper prices and a 48.1% surge in sulfuric acid sales revenue. Despite the strong earnings backdrop, potential equity dilution from the conversion appears to be weighing on market sentiment.
