CIMG Inc. to acquire majority stake in Shanghai Huomao

CIMG Inc. (NASDAQ:IMG), a miscellaneous retail company, announced Monday that it has entered into an agreement to acquire a 51% equity interest in Shanghai Huomao Cultural Development Co., Ltd. ("Huomao"). The transaction involves the issuance of 200,000 shares of CIMG’s common stock and is expected to close within 15 days from the agreement date.

The agreement specifies that the issued common stock will be subject to a six-month lock-up period. Following the completion of the equity transfer, Huomao’s employees will become part of CIMG’s corporate group. Mr. Xiaocheng Hao is set to continue leading Huomao as the Chief Executive Officer.

Additionally, a decision-making committee will be established to oversee transactions exceeding RMB 200,000, ensuring strategic alignment between CIMG and Huomao. The committee will consist of three members: Ms. Yanli Hou, representing CIMG, alongside Mr. Xiaocheng Hao and Ms. Hongfang Xie from Huomao.

The parties also plan to incentivize Huomao’s employees with CIMG shares based on the sales performance post-acquisition, with details to be determined in future agreements.

This strategic move is aimed at integrating Huomao’s operations into CIMG’s business and leveraging the synergies between the two companies. The information reported is based on a press release statement filed with the SEC.
