Analysis of the Impact of Alibaba Venture Capital's Reduction in Huayi Brothers Shares Below 5%

Based on the information obtained, I will conduct an in-depth analysis for you on the impact of Alibaba Venture Capital’s reduction in Huayi Brothers shares below the 5% shareholding threshold on the company’s equity structure stability and future financing capacity:

:

• Brothers Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei hold a total of 13.81% of the shares, but all their shares have been judicially frozen [2]
• The 154 million shares held by Wang Zhongjun (accounting for 5.55% of the total share capital) will undergo a second judicial auction on December 29-30 [2]
• Control risks have significantly increased, and the actual controller faces the potential threat of losing control [2]

:

• Alibaba Venture Capital’s shareholding ratio decreased from 3.467799% to 2.403580% [0]
• The total shareholding of Alibaba Venture Capital and Jack Ma as concerted actors decreased from 6.064215% to 4.999996% [0]
• Based on the average transaction price of 2.11 yuan per share, the cash-out amount is approximately 62.3 million yuan [1]

:

1. Reduced Regulatory Disclosure Burden
   : After the shareholding falls below 5%, Alibaba Venture Capital no longer needs to make detailed disclosures for subsequent reductions, increasing investment flexibility
2. Reduced Market Volatility Expectations
   : Reduction through block trades avoids direct impact on the secondary market
3. Potential Space for Introducing New Shareholders
   : The relatively loose equity structure creates conditions for new strategic investors to enter

:

1. Further Diversification of Control
   : The influence of the Alibaba Group, which was originally an important balancing force, has weakened, and the company’s governance structure may become more unstable
2. Impaired Investor Confidence
   : The continuous exit of major shareholders reflects concerns about Huayi’s prospects and may trigger follow-up selling by other investors
3. Lack of Strong Strategic Support
   : The industrial synergy that the Alibaba Group could originally provide has weakened

:

• Overdue debt amounts to 52.5 million yuan, exceeding 10% of the audited net assets in 2024 [2]
• Some bank accounts have been frozen, blocking normal financing channels [2]

:

• Operating income in the first three quarters of 2025 was only 215 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 46% [2]
• Net loss attributable to parent company was 114 million yuan, a year-on-year expansion of 168% [2]
• Cumulative losses from 2018 to 2024 exceeded 8.2 billion yuan [2]
• Market value shrank from a peak of 90 billion yuan to approximately 6.2 billion yuan, a drop of over 90% [2]

:

1. Deterioration of Credit Ratings
   : Continuous losses and debt defaults will seriously affect credit ratings
2. Insufficient Collateral
   : Shares of major shareholders are frozen, leading to a significant reduction in available collateral
3. Increased Industry Risk Premium
   : The film and television industry as a whole is facing challenges, and investors’ risk appetite has decreased
4. Lack of Strategic Endorsement
   : The exit of strategic investors such as Alibaba has reduced the confidence of other institutional investors

:

1. Business Transformation Window
   : The company is laying out short dramas and AI-powered film and television [2], and the new business model may attract different types of investors
2. Disposal of Existing Assets
   : The company plans to integrate and optimize resource allocation and exit non-core assets [2], which can recover funds
3. Expectations for Key Projects
   : If key projects such as Stephen Chow’s “Mermaid 2” and Feng Xiaogang’s “Catch the Spy” [2] are successful, they can improve market expectations

• Negative
  : Market confidence is further damaged, stock prices are under obvious pressure
• Neutral
  : Financing environment remains tight, mainly relying on internal funds and project payment collection

• Key Turning Point
  : The box office performance of key projects will be the key to the recovery of financing capacity
• Equity Structure Restructuring
  : The result of the auction of Wang Zhongjun’s shares will determine the ownership of control

• Business Model Transformation
  : Successful transformation to short dramas and AI-powered film and television may regain recognition from the capital market
• Industry Cycle Factors
  : The overall recovery of the film and television industry will improve the overall financing environment

Alibaba Venture Capital’s reduction in shares below the 5% threshold is an

event for Huayi Brothers. Amidst the company’s multiple challenges of control crisis, financial difficulties, and business transformation pressure, the exit of key strategic investors further weakens the company’s risk resistance and financing capabilities.

In the short term, the company’s financing capacity will mainly rely on the disposal of existing assets and project payment collection, with traditional bank financing channels limited. In the medium to long term, only through successful business model innovation and revitalizing market confidence with key projects can financing capacity be gradually restored.

For Huayi Brothers, the most urgent task at present is to ensure the successful launch of key projects while accelerating the disposal of non-core assets to gain time and financial support for business transformation.
