/CORRECTION - Ming Shing Group Holdings Limited/
Rhea-AI Summary
Ming Shing Group Holdings (NASDAQ: PMA) amended its August 12, 2026 release to clarify that it has verified the business of Meal Though Seasons HK Limited (MTHK) and that the US$510,000,000 all‑stock consideration is supported by a valuation report dated August 10, 2026, indicating US$515,000,000 equity value for the Target Company as of June 30, 2026. The valuation report is not a fairness opinion.
The company entered into a stock purchase agreement to acquire 100% of Meals Through Seasons Limited, which owns MTHK, for 150,000,000 Class A shares (US$150,000,000) and US$360,000,000 unsecured, zero‑coupon, open‑term convertible notes at a US$1.00 conversion price, subject to performance thresholds and a 24% voting cap. Closing is targeted by August 31, 2026, with an outside date of October 31, 2026, and will cause significant dilution to existing shareholders.
Positive
- US$510,000,000 all-stock acquisition of Meals Through Seasons Limited, expanding into agricultural supply chains
- No cash consideration; payment entirely in 150,000,000 shares and US$360,000,000 notes
- Performance-based convertibility for US$360,000,000 notes tied to net profit thresholds over three financial years
- Independent valuation report indicating US$515,000,000 equity value for the Target Company as of June 30, 2026
Negative
- Significant shareholder dilution from 150,000,000 new shares plus potential note conversion at US$1.00
- Unaudited financials for the Target Company and MTHK provided to date
- No fairness opinion obtained regarding the US$510,000,000 consideration
- Transaction completion risk with conditions including satisfactory due diligence and no Nasdaq objection, and an outside date of October 31, 2026
- No revenue yet from the non-binding MTHK cooperation framework as of the announcement date
- No shareholder approval for the deal, relying on Cayman home country practice to bypass certain Nasdaq shareholder approval rules
News Explained
The deal is signed but unclosed; completion would issue securities and dilute existing holders, with no shareholder vote planned.
Ming Shing’s earlier non-binding cooperation plan had generated no revenue or binding financial obligations; it has since progressed to a signed stock purchase agreement that is not yet closed, with consideration payable in company securities and dilution for existing shareholders if the deal completes.
Completion remains subject to due diligence and Nasdaq’s lack of objection to the required additional-shares notification, so the transaction’s economic effect is not yet completed.
The company says it will not convene a shareholder meeting, relying on Cayman Islands home-country practice in lieu of certain Nasdaq shareholder-approval requirements.

Ming Shing Group Holdings Limited Announces Entering into Stock Purchase Agreement
Hong Kong, Aug. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ming Shing Group Holdings Limited (the “Company” or “Ming Shing”) (NASDAQ: PMA), a Hong Kong-based company mainly engaged in wet trades works, today announced that it has entered into a stock purchase agreement to acquire the entire issued share capital of Meals Through Seasons Limited, a business company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (the “Target Company”), for an aggregate consideration of US
As announced on July 30, 2026, on July 29, 2026, PMA Nano Carbon Technology Pte. Ltd (“PMA”), a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a non-binding strategic cooperation framework agreement (the “MOU”) with Meal Though Seasons HK Limited (“MTHK”), a company incorporated in Hong Kong, relating to the application of PMA’s graphene thermal management technology to facility agriculture temperature control and anti-freezing or thermal insulation, low-temperature drying and deep processing of agricultural products, cold-chain anti-freezing constant temperature and preservation auxiliary applications, and joint product research and development. The MOU recorded that the parties might opt to further explore cooperation plans including equity investment, joint ventures and mergers and acquisitions. The transaction announced today represents the progression of that cooperation into an equity transaction.
The MOU remains non-binding, does not constitute a revenue-generating contract, creates no binding revenue commitments or financial obligations, and does not guarantee any future commercial results, operational outcomes or financial performance. As at the date of this announcement, no definitive commercial agreement has been entered into between PMA and MTHK pursuant to the MOU, and the cooperation contemplated by the MOU has not generated any revenue.
The transaction
On August 11, 2026, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with Hongs Smart Limited and Yapjianhuei Smart Limited (each a “Seller” and, collectively, the “Sellers”), the Target Company and MTHK. The Target Company holds the entire issued share capital of MTHK. Based on information provided by the Sellers, MTHK is mainly engaged in organic agricultural product supply chains, agricultural base operations, agricultural product sorting and processing, cold chain logistics, channel sales and related businesses.
The aggregate consideration of US
The consideration was determined by arm’s-length negotiation between the Company and the Sellers, having regard to a financial forecast prepared and provided by the Sellers (the “Financial Forecast”) and to a valuation report dated August 10, 2026 prepared by an independent valuer engaged by the Company (the “Valuation Report”). The Valuation Report sets out an indicated market value of the entire equity interest in the Target Company of US
The Notes
The Notes will be unsecured, will not bear interest and will have no fixed maturity date, and will rank pari passu with the Company’s other present and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. The Notes are convertible into Class A Ordinary Shares at a fixed conversion price of US
The principal amount of the Notes is divided into three equal annual performance tranches, each corresponding to one of the three financial years covered by the Financial Forecast. A tranche becomes eligible for conversion only if the net profit after tax of the Target Company and its subsidiaries for the corresponding financial year reaches an agreed minimum threshold by reference to the Financial Forecast, as determined by the Company, and only after the Company has issued a written conversion eligibility notice in respect of that tranche. A tranche that does not meet the applicable threshold remains outstanding but is not convertible, and a failure in one financial year is not cured by performance in a later financial year. In addition, no conversion may be effected to the extent that, immediately afterwards, the relevant holder together with its affiliates would hold total voting rights exceeding
The issuance of the Consideration Shares, and the issuance of any Class A Ordinary Shares upon conversion of the Notes, will result in significant dilution to the Company’s existing shareholders.
Closing and conditions
Closing of the transaction is scheduled to occur on or before August 31, 2026, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set out in the SPA, which include the completion by the Company of due diligence to its reasonable satisfaction and the submission of the required Listing of Additional Shares notification to The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(e)(2) without objection from Nasdaq within the applicable notice period. If completion has not occurred on or before October 31, 2026, either the Company or the Sellers’ representative may terminate the SPA in accordance with its terms. The Company gives no assurance that the transaction will be completed, or that it will be completed within the expected timeframe.
Further information and securities law matters
The foregoing is a summary only and does not purport to be complete. It is qualified in its entirety by reference to the SPA, a copy of which is furnished as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s report on Form 6-K furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 12, 2026, to which reference should be made for the full terms of the transaction.
As disclosed in the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F, the Company, as a foreign private issuer, has elected to follow Cayman Islands home country practice in lieu of certain Nasdaq corporate governance requirements as permitted by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5615(a)(3), including the shareholder approval requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rules 5635(a), 5635(b) and 5635(d). Accordingly, the Company has not convened a general meeting of shareholders to approve the transaction.
The Consideration Shares, the Notes and any Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and are being issued outside the United States to persons who are not U.S. persons in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. The securities will bear restrictive legends and are subject to transfer restrictions, including a one-year distribution compliance period. This announcement is for information purposes only and does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities.
In addition to the foregoing, each Seller has agreed to a contractual lock-up restriction in the SPA under which the Sellers may not sell, transfer, hedge or otherwise dispose of the Shares comprising the Share Consideration during the Lock-Up Period, subject to limited exceptions. The Conversion Shares are not subject to this lock-up restriction.
