27 March 2026 – China Resources Mixc Lifestyle Services Limited (CR Mixc Lifestyle) has broadened the investment scope for its remaining funds from the 2020 global offering, targeting low-risk, principal-protected bank instruments to enhance returns without altering the original use of proceeds plan.
As disclosed in the FY25 results, the company had applied RMB6.04 billion (HK$6.82 billion) of its IPO proceeds, leaving RMB5.56 billion (HK$6.28 billion) unutilised. With high-quality acquisition targets in mainland China’s property and commercial management sectors currently limited, management expects a longer-than-planned deployment cycle.
To avoid sub-optimal returns from short-term deposits yielding below 1.40% per annum, the board on 27 March 2026 approved the temporary investment of up to the entire RMB5.56 billion balance in: • Transferrable long-term deposit certificates • Principal-protected structured deposits • Long-term time deposits
These instruments will be placed with licensed commercial banks in Hong Kong or mainland China that are independent of the Group. Maturities will range from one to three years, with contractual exit options ensuring proceeds remain available for their intended uses by the end-2027 deadline.
The Board believes the revised treasury strategy will boost interest income and optimise capital efficiency while preserving a similar risk profile. Any future transactions that meet the disclosure or shareholder-approval thresholds under Hong Kong’s Listing Rules will trigger separate announcements.
