Fanhua Announces Strategic Investment from Fosun
GUANGZHOU, China, April 6, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Fanhua Inc. ( “Fanhua” or “the Company”) (Nasdaq: FANH), a leading independent online-to-offline ("O2O") financial services provider in China, today announced the completion of a private placement of 66,000,000 ordinary shares (equivalent to 3,300,000 ADS) of the Company, at purchase price of US$0.44185 per ordinary share (equivalent to US$8.837 per ADS), for a total investment of US$29,162,100, by Fosun Industrial Holdings Limited ("Fosun"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fosun International Limited (00656.HK) ("Fosun International"). The purchase price represents the average closing price of the past 20 trading days prior to the signing of the share purchase agreement between Fosun and the Company on March 29, 2017. Fosun holds 5.34% of the equity interests in the Company post-closing and its purchased shares are subject to a contractual one-year lock-up.
In connection with this investment, Fosun and Fanhua agreed to establish a long term strategic partnership to pursue strategic collaboration in areas such as insurance, healthcare, investment and financial services. Fanhua expects to strengthen business cooperation with Fosun's affiliated insurance companies to leverage Fosun’s brand name and variety of insurance offerings with its own extensive insurance sales and service network.
Commenting on Fosun's strategic investment in Fanhua, Mr. Chunlin Wang, chief executive officer of Fanhua, said, “Fosun’s strategic investment in Fanhua validates Fanhua's business value and its leading position in the professional insurance intermediary sector. It also constitutes a vote of confidence by Fosun in Fanhua’s business and long-term growth prospects. Fosun is a world-class investment group with outstanding industrial integration capabilities and global asset allocation capabilities. Fosun has already invested in a number of insurance companies in China and abroad and its global footprint includes a number of new business areas including healthcare and internet of vehicles. We believe Fosun’s investment in and cooperation with the Company will be instrumental to further diversifying our product offerings, improving customer experience and strengthening our leadership in the insurance intermediary sector. Over the long term, we believe this relationship provides strong momentum towards realizing our goal of becoming a diversified financial services provider and achieving sustainable and profitable growth.
“We look forward to exploring opportunities for deeper cooperation with Fosun in many aspects by leveraging both parties’ resources and complementary strengths to provide continuous mutual benefits for the foreseeable future.”
