COL Digital Publishing Group Co LtdChineseAll's 2.833 billion yuan private placement draws swift inquiry from Shenzhen Stock Exchange
3▲0 ▼0Impact / 5
The ChiNext company management department of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange issued an inquiry letter on October 2 regarding ChineseAll's private placement plan, raising a series of questions across five areas: the reasonableness of the fundraising, the projects to be funded, the impact on financial indicators, the termination of the previous refinancing, and the parallel arrangement for a Hong Kong IPO. On the evening of September 30, ChineseAll disclosed its plan for a 2026 private placement of A-shares to specific investors, proposing to raise no more than 2.833 billion yuan from up to 35 designated investors for six major projects including digital copyright, IP derivatives, AI large models, and an AIGC multimodal platform. This is the company's largest refinancing since its listing. As of the end of June 2026, the company's net assets attributable to the parent stood at only about 263 million yuan, making the proposed fundraising roughly ten times its net assets. Regulators have asked the company to explain how the financing amount matches its existing business scale, management capabilities, and personnel reserves, along with the basis for its calculations. Regarding the projects, the inquiry letter focuses on verifying the pricing and idle risk of the 864 million yuan digital copyright procurement, as well as the calculation and intellectual property ownership of the 479 million yuan AI large model research and development investment. The company reported losses in non-GAAP net profit for two consecutive years in 2024 and 2025, so its profit assumptions and measures to offset the immediate dilution of returns also need to be justified. The issuance still requires approval by the shareholders' meeting, review and approval by the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, and registration consent from the China Securities Regulatory Commission before it can be implemented.
