On the eve of the resumption of trading, Yongtai Energy, which has a total market value of nearly 25 billion yuan, disclosed a plan to purchase assets. The company plans to purchase a 51.0095% stake in Shanxi Lingshi Xinyue Tianyue Coal Industry Co., Ltd. held by Shanxi Xinyi Energy Group Co., Ltd. through the issuance of shares. As of the date of the signing of the asset purchase plan, the audit and evaluation work of the target company has not been completed, and the transaction price is tentatively set not to exceed 0.35 billion yuan. The share issuance method for this transaction is to issue to specific objects, and the issuing object is Xinyi Group. The issue price is 1.29 yuan/share.
The announcement shows that after the completion of this transaction, the company's high-quality coking coal resource reserves can be increased by 28.3696 million tons, and the coking coal production capacity and output can be increased by 0.6 million tons/year. Based on the current profit level of similar coal mines managed by the company, the net income can be increased by more than 0.16 billion yuan per year. The company currently has coal resources of 3.829 billion tons, including 0.922 billion tons of coking coal resources and 2.907 billion tons of thermal coal resources (including the ongoing Haizetan coal mine, with a reserve of 1.145 billion tons).
Yongtai Energy's securities department told Caixin reporters that issuing shares to purchase assets is also intended to introduce strategic investors and further enhance the company's value. Compared with the acquisition plan, the announcement of the approval of a 5 billion yuan syndicated loan to Shaanxi Yihua Haizetan coal mine seems to be a heavier event. Today, Yongtai Energy announced that it has received a letter from PuFa Bank Jindong Branch, which agrees that PuFa Bank will act as the lead bank of the syndicated loan, providing a total syndicated loan of no more than 5 billion yuan to Shanxi Yihua Mining Development Co., Ltd. owned by the company, of which PuFa Bank will give the company a new credit line of 2.5 billion yuan, all of which are project-type credit lines, and the credit business type is fixed asset loan.

After obtaining the mining rights, based on the current production capacity of 6.9 million tons/year of the eight coal mines, the production cost of coal-based aluminum is approximately 300 yuan/ton, and the sales price of similar aluminum ore products in the surrounding area is approximately 450 yuan/ton, it is expected that the development of coal-based aluminum can increase the company's total operating income by more than 2.7 billion yuan per year and the net income by approximately 0.46 billion yuan.
Following the combination of measures taken by Wintime Energy to support the stock market and on the eve of its resumption of trading, the release of 20 announcements shows its intention to support the stock price. It is worth noting that among the low-priced non-ST companies, the warning of face value delisting has not been lifted. In addition to Wintime Energy, many market value companies with a market value of billions, such as Inner Mongolia Baotou Steel Union (600010.SH), Hainan Airlines Holding (600221.SH), Liaoning Port (601880.SH), and Greenland Holdings Corporation (600606.SH), currently have a stock price of less than 1.5 yuan/share. Some market participants believe that in the face of a low industry cycle and changing market environment, the stock prices of many well-performing listed companies have fallen close to the 1 yuan red line, and there is a risk of being "wrongly killed".
