Controlling shareholders of Fameglow Holdings Ltd agreed to sell their combined 56.93 per cent stake to Sheng Zhan International Limited through a cash general offer priced at 0.75 dollars a share. The deal values the whole company at about 614 million dollars, and Fameglow's shares resumed trading after a halt, falling about 14.5 per cent. Operators in Hong Kong and Macau's beauty and wellness services sector should note the change in control.
Why it matters
The sale comes less than four months after Fameglow moved from GEM to the Main Board, so the change in control arrives shortly after its listing upgrade. The offer price sits at a steep discount to the last close, which is the main reason for the share-price drop and a point minority holders will weigh closely.
The controlling shareholders hold a combined 56.93 per cent stake, and the offer values the company at about 614 million dollars against a pre-halt market capitalisation of 31.69 billion dollars. Fameglow's latest full-year net profit was 54.641 million dollars, up 19.5 per cent, and the stock traded at 32.98 dollars early after the announcement, down about 14.5 per cent.

Timeline
22 June: Main Board transfer approved; shares closed at 11.60 dollars.
23 October: Trading halted from 1.00pm pending an inside-information notice.
Last Friday: Deal announcement made.
2 November 2026: Stock resumed trading soft but orderly.
Market Landscape
The sale is a change of control under Hong Kong's Takeovers Code, which requires a general offer to all remaining shareholders when a controlling stake changes hands. The deal also links the buyer to the former controllers of Yield Go, now China Digital Technology (1796), a connection that shapes how the market reads the transaction.
Operators in the beauty and wellness services sector should watch whether the general offer draws in remaining minority shareholders and how the new controllers direct the business. Anyone holding Fameglow shares should review the offer terms with a qualified accountant or financial adviser before deciding how to respond.
The takeaway
A change of control at a recently upgraded listed company shows how quickly a steep offer discount can reset its share price, so operators should track how the general offer is taken up. Monitor the offer's acceptance levels and any disclosures under the Takeovers Code, and have counsel review any shareholder decision.
