TREE NEWS update: Gao Guangrong, controlling shareholder, actual controller and chairman of Eoptolink, proposed buying back shares via centralized bidding for a total of no less than RMB 800 million and no more than RMB 1 billion. The price will not exceed 150% of the average trading price over the 30 trading days before the board approves the plan. The repurchased shares will fund an equity incentive or employee stock ownership plan, with a 12-month window from board approval.
Eoptolink Chairman Proposes RMB 800M-1B Share Buyback
The signal here is less about the buyback size than about its destination: shares are earmarked for equity incentives or an employee ownership plan, tying the chairman's capital commitment to retention and alignment rather than to a shrinking float. The 150% price ceiling above the trailing 30-day average gives the plan unusual headroom, suggesting management is not optimizing for a near-term floor. Whether the board approves the proposal on those terms, and how quickly the 12-month window is used, is the open question.
