Analysis · LXEH · Trade & Services
A US$12.5 million capital raise is on the table, funded by issuing 20 billion Class A shares to investors and 5 billion Class B shares to CEO Biao Wei. Shareholder approval is required at the September 18 AGM. The plan also includes a capital reduction and a 1,000-for-1 share sub-division, lifting authorized shares from 20 billion to 20 trillion. The CEO's Class B shares carry 200 votes each, giving him outsized voting control. Investor shares will be registered for resale, creating potential overhang.
