Wuhan Municipal State owned assets first holding comprehensive securities firm
The Chinese reporter of the securities firm noted that the four transferees were all state-owned enterprises in Wuhan. Among them, the actual controller of Wuhan development and Investment Co., Ltd., which plans to transfer 50% of the shares of Kyushu securities, is Wuhan SASAC and is also a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wuhan financial holding group.
It is understood that in the 1990s, securities companies in Wuhan were quite popular in the country. Later, with Huatai Securities Co.Ltd(601688) taking over Asian Securities and Gf Securities Co.Ltd(000776) integrating Wuhan Securities, Wuhan state-owned assets Co., Ltd. lost control of securities companies. The lack of state-controlled financial institutions leads to the limited ability to regulate local finance and give full play to the aggregation effect of capital resources.
At present, there are two local securities companies in Wuhan, and there is no securities company controlled by Wuhan state-owned assets. The acquisition of Kyushu securities by Wuhan Financial Holding Group fills this gap.
According to Wuhan local media Changjiang cloud, after the completion of this M & A, Wuhan financial holding group and its M & a related parties will simultaneously start capital increase for Kyushu securities.

The relevant person in charge of Wuhan financial holding group said that it would support Kyushu securities to optimize market-oriented operation, improve corporate governance, improve assets and business scale, improve market image, and build itself into a high-quality securities firm with excellent brand, sufficient capital, stable operation and strong risk control. Support Kyushu securities to make use of the advantages of shareholders of local state-owned enterprises such as Wuhan financial holding group, give full play to the professional value of comprehensive securities companies, and strengthen services for "specialized and special new" enterprises in Wuhan.
It is understood that the merger and acquisition of comprehensive securities companies has always been an important strategy of Wuhan financial holding group. In 2021, the group carried out evaluation and comparative analysis on some Chinese securities companies, and successively promoted the substantive negotiation and adjustment of mergers and acquisitions of a number of target securities companies. The acquisition of Kyushu securities will enrich the group's financial business layout, extend the types of comprehensive financial services, provide high-quality and efficient comprehensive financial services for the real economy, and meet the diversified development needs of regional financial formats.
In the national competition for the new important financial license of financial holding company, Wuhan financial holding group acted rapidly. With the acquisition of Kyushu securities, the group will have three licensed national financial institutions, belonging to three types respectively. The group is also the largest shareholder of Hankou bank and Wuhan Rural Commercial Bank, which means that Wuhan financial holding group is closer to the index requirements for applying for financial holding company license and is expected to become the first licensed financial holding company in Hubei Province.
