In this regard, Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science And Technology Co.Ltd(000157) explains that “it will help give play to the business synergy between the company and Shenzhen Roadrover Technology Co.Ltd(002813) in the future and improve the business development ability and competitive strength of both parties.”
the promised performance is less than one tenth of the transfer price
After the completion of this transaction, Guo Xiumei will also directly hold Shenzhen Roadrover Technology Co.Ltd(002813) 4299096900 shares, accounting for about 35.83% of the total share capital of the company, while Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science And Technology Co.Ltd(000157) holds only 29.99%.
According to the announcement of Shenzhen Roadrover Technology Co.Ltd(002813) , Guo Xiumei voluntarily relinquishes the voting rights of all remaining shares after the completion of this share transfer. “The waiver period of the subject rights stated in the commitment is from the effective date of this commitment to June 30, 2025.”
According to the relevant provisions of the share transfer agreement, Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science And Technology Co.Ltd(000157) will have the right to restructure the board of directors and management. “Therefore, after the completion of this transaction, Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science And Technology Co.Ltd(000157) will become the shareholder with the largest single voting share of the company, that is, the controlling shareholder of the company; since Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science And Technology Co.Ltd(000157) has no actual controller, the company will change to the state of no actual controller.”
Subsequently, Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science And Technology Co.Ltd(000157) will make a partial offer to all shareholders of Shenzhen Roadrover Technology Co.Ltd(002813) , and the proportion of shares to be purchased shall not be less than 18.83% of the total share capital of the company.
According to the provisions of the share transfer agreement, ensure that Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science And Technology Co.Ltd(000157) holds no less than 48.82% of the shares of Shenzhen Roadrover Technology Co.Ltd(002813) after the tender offer is completed.
It is worth noting that the performance commitment of this transaction comes not from Shenzhen Roadrover Technology Co.Ltd(002813) , but from Nanyang Changfeng New Material Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Nanyang Changfeng”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shenzhen Roadrover Technology Co.Ltd(002813) .
According to the commitment, the total net profit attributable to the parent company in the audited consolidated statements of Nanyang Changfeng in 2022, 2023 and 2024 shall not be less than 25 million yuan.
In other words, Nanyang Changfeng’s total net profit attributable to the parent company in the next three years is only 75 million yuan, which has not yet reached one tenth of the transfer amount of about 780 million yuan.
In fact, since 2019, Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science And Technology Co.Ltd(000157) has been vigorously laying out excavator and aerial work platform business, improving the competitiveness of agricultural machinery products, and laying out dry mixing mortar equipment and new materials business. Why this sudden layout of the automotive intelligent industry is really puzzling.
An analyst in the construction machinery industry of a securities firm believes that Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science And Technology Co.Ltd(000157) has also been accelerating the transformation of industrial Internet and accelerating the intelligent upgrading of production and manufacturing in recent years, ” Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science And Technology Co.Ltd(000157) at present, the overall business idea is the guiding concept of ‘using Internet thinking to do business and using extreme thinking to do products’. This involvement in the field of automotive intelligence may be an attempt of transformation. After all, 780 million transfer money is nothing for Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science And Technology Co.Ltd(000157) with a net profit of more than 7 billion a year.”
However, how much can Shenzhen Roadrover Technology Co.Ltd(002813) who can’t make much money a year contribute to Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science And Technology Co.Ltd(000157) ? Everything remains to be seen.
