On September 9, GENSCRIPT BIO declined 3.29% in regular trading, trading at 33.84 HKD/share, with turnover of approximately 67.16 million HKD. The stock continued to show volatile trading following the announcement of its proposed spin-off of ProBio Technology.
The company announced on September 4 that it proposed to spin off its indirect non-wholly owned subsidiary ProBio Technology Limited for a separate listing on the HKEX main board. The Listing Committee confirmed on August 14 that the company could proceed with the proposed spin-off. On the day of the announcement, the stock plunged nearly 13%, then rebounded over 8% on September 8 as the market digested the news. The renewed pullback reflects ongoing market divergence over the spin-off's implications. Analysts note that the spin-off may help alleviate approximately USD 473 million in redemption pressure stemming from ProBio's preferred share agreements, and that GENSCRIPT BIO will retain its controlling interest with ProBio's financials remaining consolidated.
