Market Focus06-22

On June 22, Pateo Connect Technology (02889.HK) fell 5.46% in regular trading, trading at 174.4 HKD/share, with turnover of 19.67 million HKD. The stock has now approached the placement price of 173.40 HKD per share announced on June 17.

The company announced a placement agreement on June 17 to issue approximately 2.26 million new H shares at 173.40 HKD each, representing a discount of approximately 17.59% to the prior closing price and 19.92% to the five-day average. Net proceeds of approximately 382 million HKD are earmarked with 80% for strategic M&A in AI, chips, and semiconductors, and 20% for working capital. The stock plunged over 15% on announcement day.

Although the founder and CFO announced intended purchases of up to 10 million HKD on June 18, triggering a brief 5% rebound, the buyback scale was insignificant relative to the 382 million HKD placement size, failing to reverse dilution concerns. Selling pressure from profit-taking and cost arbitrage between existing holders and new placees remains unresolved.
