Controller set to strengthen interest in the company to nearly 45%
Chen to add 66m A-shares:
Xilinmen Furniture (XF) announced plans on 13 Oct to issue 66.35m A-shares to Anhui Xinhong Equity Investment, a wholly-owned subsidiary held by XF’s controlling shareholder and actual controller Chen Ayu. Xinhong intends to subscribe to all of the shares, which are priced at RMB12.81 each, and pay for them in cash. On completion, Mr Chen and his associates would have a 44.97% stake in the company.
Funding smart home project 2:
The total funds raised in this private placement would not exceed RMB850m (including the principal) and will be used to construct phase 2 of the Xilinmen Smart Home Industrial Park project and supplement working capital. The total project investment of RMB760m covers RMB23.36m for the land purchase, RMB373m on construction, RMB270m on equipment and software, a preparation fee of RMB32.15m and RMB60m groundwork working capital.
Boosting sentiment:
Mr Chen’s expanded interest consolidates his controller position and stable control of XF. It demonstrates his will to support the company as well as confidence in its future, which sends a positive signal to the market and XF’s smaller shareholders. The move is conducive to the company’s stable long-term growth, while boosting market confidence.

Building out production capacity; strengthening smart manufacturing foundation
To refine XF’s strategic focus on the sleep product business, its smart home project buys advanced production equipment from China and overseas to build automated smart production lines. The benefits include:
•Boosting production capacity and removing capacity bottlenecks, and consolidating its industry positioning:
XF maintained utilization rates above 80% for its mattresses and soft bed products during 2021-23. Production and sales ratios exceeded 95% and the project increased the production scale for mattresses, soft beds, sofas and supporting products to meet business expansion needs.
•Optimum production capacity buildout, shorter delivery cycles and an efficient supply chain network:
when construction is completed, the company would be able to take orders fully from six provinces and cities, including Hunan, Guizhou, Guangdong and Guangxi, and with its business area covering central and southern China, it would help rationalize the allocation of production capacities.
•Enhancing supply capacity for raw materials, boosting product quality control, reducing costs and increasing efficiency:
the company would effectively improve its independent sponge supply capacity and improve profitability.
