It is worth mentioning that, also on September 11th, WM Motor posted on its official Weibo account stating that after careful consideration, WM Motor voluntarily terminated the RTO process with Apollo Group at The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong. Currently, WM Motor remains an important shareholder of Apollo Group and will continue to support its development in the future.
On September 8th, Apollo Group (00860.HK) announced on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong that all parties involved have agreed to terminate the acquisition agreement with WM Motor. Therefore, the acquisition and placement will not proceed.
The announcement mentioned the reasons for terminating the acquisition, including global market volatility, continued uncertainty in the financial markets, and short-term economic recovery. The announcement from Apollo Group implies that WM Motor, which was previously mired in a quagmire, has lost the opportunity to list on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
