China Financial International Investments Limited (C FIN INT INV, 00721.HK) announced three capital-raising arrangements on 11 March 2026 after market close:
1. Specific-mandate share subscription • Phancy International Ltd. (a wholly-owned unit of AI firm Phancy Group, 6682.HK) will subscribe for 2.19 billion new shares at HK$0.04 each. • The price represents a 29.82% discount to the 11 March closing price of HK$0.057 and a 26.47% discount to the five-day average of HK$0.0544. • Post-issue, the subscriber will hold 16.67% of the enlarged share capital (assuming no other changes). • Gross proceeds: HK$87.77 million; net proceeds: HK$87.27 million.
2. Issuance of 2.50 billion unlisted warrants • Three subscribers will acquire warrants at HK$0.005 each: – Phancy International Ltd.: 1.60 billion units – Warrant Subscriber II (existing 18.23% shareholder Huang Shiying via controlled entities): 0.60 billion units – Warrant Subscriber III (associate of Subscriber II): 0.30 billion units • Exercise price: HK$0.058; effective issue price (issue plus exercise): HK$0.063, a 10.53% premium to the last close and 15.81% above the five-day average. • Upon full exercise, 2.50 billion new shares would be issued, equal to 15.97% of fully diluted share capital. • Gross proceeds on issue: HK$12.51 million; net proceeds: HK$11.51 million.

Independent shareholders must approve these at a special general meeting (SGM). • Subscriber II and associates will abstain from voting.
Use of proceeds • First tranche (net HK$98.78 million): 85% earmarked for investments in financial and virtual assets; 15% for general working capital. • Second tranche (net HK$145.00 million upon full exercise): same allocation ratio.
Shareholding impact • Current issued shares: 10.97 billion. • After the subscription: 13.17 billion shares; public float falls to 68.14%. • After full warrant exercise: 15.67 billion shares; public float would be 57.26%.
Regulatory steps • Share and warrant issues require specific mandates, listing approval for underlying shares, and separate SGM resolutions. • An independent financial adviser will opine on the connected-party warrants.
The share subscription and Warrant Subscription I are inter-conditional; all transactions target completion by 12 June 2026, subject to customary conditions. Shareholders and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the shares.
