**Top Story: China Shenhua (01088) Implements Major Asset Restructuring** China Shenhua has announced a significant asset restructuring plan, proposing to acquire stakes in 12 core subsidiaries of its parent company, National Energy Group, through a combination of share issuance and cash payment. The total transaction value amounts to 133.98 billion yuan, with an additional fundraising effort of up to 20 billion yuan via A-share placements to no more than 35 specific investors.
The restructuring spans critical energy sectors, including coal production, pithead coal power, coal chemical projects, and coal logistics. Post-restructuring, China Shenhua’s total assets are expected to expand by over 200 billion yuan, with substantial increases in key metrics such as recoverable coal reserves, annual output, and power generation capacity. Notably, polyolefin production is projected to surge by 213.33%.
A standout feature of the deal is the 70% cash payment ratio, minimizing equity dilution. The restructuring is set to enhance profitability, supported by the parent company’s voluntary extension of performance guarantees for certain assets to six years, underscoring protection for minority shareholders.
China Shenhua emphasized that this move aligns with National Energy Group’s reforms as a state capital investment pilot and reflects broader industry efforts to consolidate and upgrade amid global energy transitions and carbon neutrality goals.
