Try Dealroom → for HKD 152,370,559 (HKD 0.6374 per share). The purchase, made through subsidiary Foxconn (Far East) Limited, will lift Hon Hai's cumulative stake in Maxnerva to 40.46%.
Who's involved? Maxnerva is a technology services provider. The shares are being bought from existing shareholders FSK Holdings Limited, an investee company accounted for under the equity method, and FDG Fund, L.P.
Why now? Hon Hai frames the deal as a long-term investment aimed at simplifying Maxnerva's shareholding structure and improving operational efficiency. Its board approved the resolution on July 27, 2026, with the price set by negotiation on a book-value basis.
What's next? Once the share purchase closes, Hon Hai will launch a mandatory unconditional general offer for Maxnerva's remaining ordinary shares. Both steps hinge on regulatory approvals, with completion estimated for early 2027.
What could go wrong? The closing depends on satisfying conditions precedent, including obtaining relevant regulatory clearances. Any delay or rejection could push the timeline beyond early 2027.
