Konka Group Company Limited has formally entered the execution stage of a voluntary delisting. ST Konka A and ST Konka B issued a reminder announcement on September 17 regarding the distribution of cash option rights. Earlier, on September 14, the company's extraordinary shareholders' meeting had approved the proposal to voluntarily terminate its listing through a shareholders' resolution. This veteran home appliance maker, which topped China's colour TV market in the 1990s, is leaving the Shenzhen Stock Exchange on its own initiative after roughly 34 years of listing. The direct trigger is insolvency: in 2025, net profit attributable to the parent company recorded a loss of 12.582 billion yuan, net assets attributable to the parent company stood at a loss of 6.083 billion yuan at year-end, and the asset-liability ratio was about 126.22 percent.

The company's shares have been suspended from trading since the market opened on September 4, 2026. It will submit an application for voluntary delisting to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange within fifteen trading days after the shareholders' meeting passes the resolution to terminate listing. A-share shareholders may apply to exercise cash option rights at 2.48 yuan per share, and B-share shareholders at 0.73 Hong Kong dollars per share. Konka's net profit attributable to the parent company after deducting non-recurring items has been negative for fifteen consecutive years from 2011 to 2025, and from 2022 to 2025 the four-year combined loss in net profit attributable to the parent company was about 20.289 billion yuan. In July 2025, Overseas Chinese Town transferred its equity interest at the controlling shareholder level of Konka to the China Resources system, and the actual controller changed to China Resources. After China Resources took over, it mainly maintained the company's operations through loans, guarantees, perpetual bonds and other means, and did not inject high-quality assets on a large scale.
ST Konka A Plans Voluntary Delisting; A-Share Cash Option Exercise Price Set at 2.48 Yuan Per Share
The voluntary delisting of ST Konka A, which has been suspended for nearly two weeks, has made new progress. On the evening of September 16, the company disclosed a notice regarding the distribution of cash options for the voluntary termination of its stock listing. It plans to voluntarily withdraw the listing and trading of its A-shares and B-shares on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange through a shareholders' meeting resolution. The matter has been reviewed and approved at the company's second extraordinary shareholders' meeting in 2026, and will now enter the stage of cash option distribution and exercise. The announcement shows that Panshi Runchuang Shenzhen Information Management Company Limited will provide cash options to all A-share shareholders other than the company itself, and Hemao Company Limited will provide cash options to all B-share shareholders other than the company itself. As of September 3, 2026, the company's A-share closing price was 2.46 yuan per share and its B-share closing price was 0.71 Hong Kong dollars per share. Shareholders who validly declare the exercise of cash options will receive cash consideration at an exercise price of 2.48 yuan per share for A-shares and 0.73 Hong Kong dollars per share for B-shares. The record dates are September 22 and September 28 respectively. ST Konka A stated that although this voluntary termination of listing provides cash options to shareholders entitled to exercise them, it does not mean they are forced to accept the exercise price and tender their shares. Relevant shareholders may choose to transfer all or part of their shares to the cash option provider at the announced price, or continue to hold the company's shares.
Sharp begins taking AI server orders in Japan, with Foxconn manufacturing
Sharp Corp, the Japanese electronics company, said on September 15 that it has begun taking orders for artificial intelligence servers in Japan, with the servers manufactured by its Taiwan-based parent company Foxconn. Sharp plans to start selling the servers in fiscal 2027, which begins in April 2027, targeting local government bodies, research institutions and data center operators.

Sharp forecasts the domestic server market will grow from about 900 billion yen in fiscal 2025 to roughly 4 trillion yen in fiscal 2030 and about 7 trillion yen in fiscal 2035. Sharp said it will consider joint manufacturing with Foxconn in the future, and if such joint production goes ahead, its Kameyama plant in Mie Prefecture in central Japan is one option that could serve as a production base.

Sony Seeks Dismissal of PS5 Buyers' $508M Tariff Refund Claim
Sony has asked a federal judge to dismiss a class action demanding that PlayStation 5 buyers get a share of the $508 million it expects to recover in tariff refunds, calling the claim "speculative and illogical." In a motion filed Monday, Sony's lawyers argued that paying fair market price for voluntarily purchased goods is not a legally cognizable injury, and cited inflation, currency moves, component costs, logistics, competition, and demand as alternative explanations for the August 2025 price rise. PlayStation prices increased again in March, five weeks after tariffs fell, raising the standard PS5 to $649.99 in the U.S. and lifting prices in the U.K., Europe, and Japan, which Sony says contradicts the claim that tariffs drove the initial increase. Microsoft filed a similar motion on August 21, and Nintendo has also sought dismissal, while Panic, maker of the Playdate handheld, has refunded the 19% tariff it charged customers. No judge has ruled on any of the motions.

Action camera maker GoPro has announced it will sell 90% of its shares to StarMan Optical, a private U.S. company that manufactures optical transceivers for AI data centers, for $285 million in cash. The remaining 10% will be held by existing shareholders. The deal will give the struggling GoPro the financial breathing room to repay debt and cope with soaring memory chip prices and competition from Chinese rivals. It also shifts the company away from its reliance on the consumer business, positioning it to leverage its more than 2,500 U.S. patents to tap into commercial, defense, and AI markets. Following the announcement, GoPro shares surged more than 50% at one point to $1.33, surpassing the offer price of $1.14 per share (a premium of about 29.5% over the last closing price), suggesting investors expect a higher bid. After GoPro was valued at $4 billion on its first day of trading in 2014, its stock has fallen about 96%, as it faces intensifying competition from Chinese companies such as DJI and Insta360.
