Core Viewpoint - Luzhou Bank's large-scale capital increase plan may be aborted due to shareholder objections, leading to the postponement of the proposal for non-public issuance of H-shares [1][3]. Group 1: Capital Increase Plan - Luzhou Bank announced on June 25 that it would delay submitting the proposal for the non-public issuance of up to 1 billion new H-shares to the shareholders' meeting due to shareholder feedback [1][3]. - The original plan aimed to raise at least HKD 1.85 billion (approximately USD 236 million) through the issuance of H-shares, with a proposed issuance price potentially set at half of the bank's net asset value per share for 2024 [1][5][6]. - The bank's board had previously approved the issuance plan during a meeting on April 1, with the intention to discuss it at the upcoming shareholders' meeting [2]. Group 2: Financial Position - As of the end of last year, Luzhou Bank's total assets exceeded RMB 170 billion, and it operates branches in Chengdu, Meishan, and Suining [4]. - The bank's core Tier 1 capital adequacy ratio was reported at 8.27%, which, while meeting regulatory requirements, is significantly below the national average of 11% for commercial banks [5]. Group 3: Market Context - The bank's planned issuance would have marked it as one of the few listed banks outside of state-owned enterprises to utilize a "broken net" issuance method for core Tier 1 capital replenishment [6][7]. - Luzhou Bank is part of a broader trend in Sichuan, where local city commercial banks are undergoing significant equity restructuring, with several banks increasing their state-owned shareholding ratios in recent years [8][9].
