GAC Group to Buy Stake in Joint-Venture Automaker via Share Issue, A-Shares Suspended

GAC Group said it signed a letter of intent with FAW Group to acquire part of FAW’s stake in a vehicle joint venture through a share issuance, alongside supporting fundraising. The transaction, still at the planning stage, is expected to constitute a major asset restructuring and a related-party deal without changing GAC’s actual controller or amounting to a backdoor listing. GAC’s A-shares were suspended from trading from the market open on Sept 14, 2026, for no more than 10 trading days.

This signals consolidation among China's state-owned automakers, with GAC using equity rather than cash to deepen its position in a joint venture. The suspension gives the parties room to finalize terms, and the related-party and major-restructuring labels mean shareholder and regulatory scrutiny are likely. The key open question is the eventual structure and pricing of the share issuance and supporting fundraising, and whether this becomes a template for further consolidation across the sector.
