Yankuang Energy Group Company Limited (600188) disclosed on June 3rd that it plans to acquire equity stakes in two affiliated companies from its controlling shareholder, Shandong Energy Group Co., Ltd. The total cash consideration for the acquisition is approximately 16.415 billion yuan.
The target companies are Shandong Energy Group New Energy Co., Ltd. and Shandong Energy Power Sales Co., Ltd. Yankuang Energy intends to acquire 100% of the equity in both entities.

The transaction is designed to rapidly expand the scale of the company's power business and nurture its emerging industries by injecting high-quality power assets. Additionally, it aims to substantially reduce competition in the power sector between the company and its controlling shareholder, thereby further standardizing corporate governance.
