Reference is made to the announcement of BaTeLab Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) dated 21 May 2025 in respect of the placing of 3,000,000 new H Shares under the General Mandate (the “Announcement”). Unless otherwise stated, capitalised terms used herein shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Announcement.
COMPLETION OF THE PLACING
The Board is pleased to announce that all conditions precedent to the Placing Agreement (including the obtaining of the Approval) have been fulfilled and completion of the Placing took place on 28 May 2025. An aggregate of 3,000,000 Placing Shares have been placed by the Placing Agent to not less than six Placees at the price of HK$40.00 per Placing Share pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Placing Agreement, representing approximately 16.67% of the number of issued H Shares and approximately 4.76% of the number of issued Shares as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Placing Shares.
To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, the Placees and their respective ultimate beneficial owners (if any) are professional, institutional, or other investors who are third parties independent of the Company and its connected persons (as defined under the Listing Rules).
The net proceeds (after deducting the Placing commission and other relevant costs and expenses of the Placing) from the Placing amounted to approximately HK$116.58 million. As disclosed in the Announcement, the Company intends to use the net proceeds for (1) increasing the investment in upstream manufacturing resources, including but not limited to building its own wafer fabs and strengthening cooperation with existing wafer fabs; and (2) other general working capital. The Company would like to provide further information about the use of proceeds. The Company operates with a fabless model and focuses on analog IC patterned wafer design in the relatively fragmented China industrial-grade analog IC market, thus investments in its upstream will enhance the competitiveness of the Company in the long run, enabling them a stable production capacity supply, and manufacturing process innovation capabilities that align with the Company’s IC design.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Placing for the purposes and in the amounts set forth below:
(1) 90% of the net proceeds, or approximately HK$104.92 million, to purchase application-specific equipment, while utilizing the factories and general equipment provided by fabrication plants, together to build a production line that can satisfy multi-variety and small-batches industrial-grade analog chips requirements and prioritize the Company’s production capacity needs; and
(2) 10% of the net proceeds, or approximately HK$11.66 million, for working capital and general corporate purposes.
Please refer to the Announcement for further details of the Placing.
