What happened
Wajinke announced that its controlling shareholder and actual controller, Li Zheng, along with his concert parties Chen Kun and Beijing Yongao Enterprise Management Center (Limited Partnership), saw their combined shareholding decrease due to Chen Kun's reduction of shares.
The reduction occurred through centralized bidding and block trades between August 6, 2026, and September 4, 2026. Before the change, they held 48,671,287 shares, representing 48.00% of the company's total share capital. After the change, they hold 45,971,423 shares, representing 45.34%.
The company stated that this change does not result in a change of controlling shareholder or actual controller, and Li Zheng and his concert parties remain in control. Chen Kun's reduction was due to personal capital needs, and her reduction plan has been fully implemented as of the announcement date.
Why it matters
The reduction in stake by the controlling shareholder and concert parties could signal a shift in ownership dynamics, though control remains unchanged. Investors may watch for potential impacts on company governance or future strategic decisions.
The fact that the reduction plan has been completed may alleviate concerns about further immediate selling pressure, but the reduced stake could affect voting power and influence in shareholder meetings.
