Jiangsu Huachang Chemical Co LtdControl acquisition is riddled with doubts over the acquirer's funding source and compliance, sending shares down 9.69% toward the transfer price.

After Huachang Chemical disclosed its detailed equity change report for the control acquisition, the share price staged a one-day wonder, falling 9.69 percent on September 3 to close at 6.43 yuan per share, approaching the transfer price of 6.18 yuan per share. The acquirer's actual controller Cheng Renjie's core industrial platform Xuanli Environmental Protection has a debt-to-asset ratio of nearly 70 percent, interest-bearing debt of nearly 5 billion yuan, and net profit halved, yet it is expected to support a cash acquisition of 1.413 billion yuan, raising doubts about the source of funds. Jiangsu Ruihua Charitable Foundation contributed 300 million yuan to participate in the acquisition, but its investment decision-making procedures and compliance have not been disclosed. In addition, the listed company's supplier Bai Pingnv contributed 300 million yuan to become an indirect shareholder, and the fairness of related-party transactions under her dual identity remains to be observed. The transaction still needs to pass five approval procedures, with a closing deadline of October 31, 2026.
