China East Air announced that it will invest 4.5 billion yuan in its wholly-owned subsidiary Shanghai Airlines to strengthen Shanghai Airlines' capital strength and support its sustainable high-quality development. The capital increase plan was approved by the board of directors on August 30, 2024, and is not considered a related party transaction or a major asset reorganization, therefore it does not require approval from the shareholders' meeting. After completion, Shanghai Airlines' registered capital will reach 10 billion yuan. This move aims to optimize Shanghai Airlines' capital structure, reduce its debt-to-asset ratio, and help enhance its brand value and resource acquisition capabilities. The source of the capital increase funds is from the company's own resources or self-raised funds and is not expected to have a significant adverse impact on the company's financial condition and operating results.
