Core Viewpoint - Defu Technology has shifted its acquisition strategy from "high-end breakthrough" to "scale expansion" following the termination of its acquisition of Luxembourg-based CircuitFoil due to regulatory restrictions [1][2]. Group 1: Acquisition Strategy - The initial acquisition target was CircuitFoil, a leading high-end IT copper foil manufacturer with an annual production capacity of 16,800 tons, which aligns with Defu Technology's high-end strategy [2]. - The acquisition agreement was signed on July 29, 2025, with a total enterprise value of €215 million and a share purchase price of €174 million [2]. - The acquisition was supported by a fundraising plan of up to 1.93 billion yuan, aimed at financing the overseas acquisition and other projects [3]. Group 2: Regulatory Challenges - The Luxembourg Ministry of Economy imposed strict conditions on the investment approval, limiting Defu Technology's voting rights and decision-making power, which led to the abandonment of the acquisition [3][4]. Group 3: Domestic Acquisition Focus - Following the termination of the Luxembourg acquisition, Defu Technology quickly announced plans to acquire Anhui Huiru Technology through cash purchase and capital increase to gain at least 51% control [4]. - The acquisition of Huiru Technology, which has an existing production capacity of 20,000 tons per year, aims to address the company's near-saturation production capacity and meet the growing demand in the lithium battery and energy storage sectors [5]. - Despite the strategic shift, investor sentiment was negative, resulting in a 9.10% drop in Defu Technology's stock price on January 12, despite a broader market rally [1][5].
