Minmetals has increased its holdings of Xiamen Tungsten Industry to challenge the controlling interest of Fujian Metallurgical Group: On August 15, Minmetals Nonferrous has increased its holding of 5% of Xiamen Tungsten through the secondary market, and the cost of holding is about 10.5 yuan. At this point, the holding ratio of Minmetals Nonferrous Metals to Xiamen Tungsten Industry has increased from 20.58% to 25.58%. It is only 8.2% away from the holding of Fujian Metallurgical Group, the company's largest shareholder. The increase in Minmetals poses a challenge to the controlling share of the largest shareholder.
Major shareholder Fujian Metallurgical Group increased its holdings: After the increase of Minmetals, the major shareholder Fujian Metallurgical Group increased its holdings by 2.57 million shares, and the holding cost was 8.85 yuan. The holding ratio increased from 33.79% to 34.17%. At the same time, it is planned to increase the proportion of the increase by no more than 2% in the next 12 months.
We believe that the purpose of increasing the shareholding of major shareholders is to stabilize the controlling stake: if the major shareholder is calculated at 2%, the major shareholder will hold 35.79% in the future, and the second shareholder Minmetals Nonferrous currently holds 25.58%. The three shareholders, Japan United Materials Co., Ltd. Holding shares of 10.02%, the total shareholding of the three companies will reach 71.39%, and the shareholding gap between the two shareholders and major shareholders will be more than 10%. This major shareholder increase, we believe that the market has transmitted such a signal: major shareholders will also increase their holdings through the secondary market to increase the proportion of holdings, and want to prevent other shareholders from increasing through the secondary market to achieve The act of holding a purpose.
The major shareholder and the second shareholder have increased their holdings and said that the possibility of cooperation is relatively small: Xiamen Tungsten Industry, led by the management team headed by President Liu Tonggao, has grown from a small company with an annual output value of 5 million yuan to the largest tungsten production and processing in the world. One of the companies, the management has complete control over the company. And we believe that the purpose of Minmetals is to control the company. Therefore, there is a big difference between the two shareholders and the management. It can be seen that the divergence of the differences between the major shareholder and the second shareholder may be more difficult.
Minmetals has the desire to control Xiamen Tungsten Industry with clear intentions and clear strategy: We believe that Minmetals Nonferrous Metals has an obvious intention to increase its holdings in Xiamen Tungsten Industry, which is to control Xiamen Tungsten Industry. This behavior is based on the strategic layout of Minmetals. need. Tungsten business is one of Minmetals Nonferrous's main business. In 2007, Minmetals' non-ferrous tungsten products sales revenue was 6.089 billion yuan, accounting for 17% of the company's sales revenue, and contributed 47% of the company's profits. After the integration of Jiangxi Tungsten Industry, the tungsten assets under the name of Minmetals include: Xiushui Xiushanshan Tungsten Industry, Jiangxi Tungsten Industry, Nanchang Cemented Carbide Company, Xiamen Tungsten Industry, Xiamen Sanhong Tungsten Molybdenum Company, Zhangzhou City Weinan Tungsten and Germany's HPTec.
Minmetals is currently the largest tungsten concentrate producer in the country, and has a complete tungsten industry chain such as tungsten concentrate, ammonium paratungstate, tungsten oxide, tungsten powder, tungsten carbide powder and hard alloy. Due to the lack of control of Minmetals in Minmetals, there are many obstacles to its integration of its tungsten assets, especially in the expansion of tungsten deep processing business. If you can obtain the controlling stake in Xiamen Tungsten, then Xiamen Tungsten is likely to become the integration platform for the Minmetals tungsten deep processing business.
The increase in holdings reflects that the company has long-term investment value: in the context of the current non-universal reduction of size, the first and second largest shareholders of Xiamen Tungsten Industry not only do not reduce their holdings, but instead increase their shareholdings through the secondary market, indicating several problems. : 1. For shareholders, the current share price has already had long-term investment value; 2. Industrial capital is very fond of Xiamen Tungsten Industry, optimistic about the company's future prospects.
On September 5, Xiamen Tungsten entered the first largest shareholder, Fujian Metallurgical Group, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Fujian Panluo Iron Mine, through the secondary market to increase the company's 0.38% stake. Following the 5.0% stake in the company's second shareholder Minmetals Nonferrous Metals Holding Co., Ltd., the re-increment of the major shareholder reflects the intensification of the company's controlling stake.
