Evergrande Property Services (6666 HK): Offer Expected As Parent (Likely) Exits
Property management play Evergrande Property Services (6666 HK) (EPS) is currently suspended pursuant to the Takeovers Code.
Evergrande (3333 HK) controls 51.71%. This suspension is either a precursor to a Scheme; or (more likely) cash-strapped Evergrande is exiting, potentially triggering an unconditional MGO.
Evergrande, currently in liquidation, was delisted from the HKEx on the 25th August 2025 after failing to fulfil HKEx resumption guidance. The delisting was arguably symbolic, but remains a milestone.
Shares in EPS are currently suspended, so there is nothing to be done. Yet.

What to expect? Evergrande holds 51.74%, as at 14th December 2022, according to the HKEx and EPS' 2024 annual report (page 61).
On the 29 January 2024, the Hong Kong Courts made a winding-up order against Evergrande.
