AGTech Holdings Limited（8279.HK） Proposes Transfer of Listing from GEM to the Main Board of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited

(Hong Kong, June 18, 2026) – AGTech Holdings Limited (Stock Code: 8279 on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, hereinafter referred to as “AGTech” or the “Company”) announced today that it has formally submitted an application to the Stock Exchange in relation to the proposed transfer of listing of the Company's Shares from GEM to the Main Board pursuant to Chapter 9B of the Main Board Listing Rules[1].

 

The Board believes that, as the Company continues to expand its business scale and deepen its strategic diversification, the Proposed Transfer of Listing would provide a more appropriate listing platform for the Company’s next phase of growth. In particular, taking into account the Company’s diverse business operations in areas such as digital payments, banking, wealth management, cross-border settlement and regional financial collaboration, the Board believes that a listing on the Main Board would enhance brand recognition of the Company as a comprehensive financial technology group, strengthen its engagement with users, merchants, financial institutions, business partners and investors, and support the Company’s ability to pursue commercial opportunities in its current market positioning.
 

Meanwhile, the Main Board offers a broader investor base and higher market recognition, which will help enhance investor awareness of and confidence in the Company, expand the Company’s coverage among institutional investors and in international capital markets, further optimize its shareholder base and investor structure, improve the liquidity of its shares, and provide greater flexibility for the Company’s long-term development. On the basis of the foregoing, the Proposed Transfer of Listing is beneficial to the future growth and development of the Company and is in the overall interests of the Company and the Shareholders.

 

As a member of Alibaba Group, AGTech Holdings is committed to becoming a leading global comprehensive financial technology group. It focuses on diversified services including full-scale financial services, commerce enablement and local consumer services, while actively expanding into emerging business areas such as innovative technology services for the gold and precious metals trading, thereby developing the capability to provide “end-to-end, all-round financial services” across diverse scenarios. In 2022, the company completed the acquisition of Macau Pass Holding Ltd. and its subsidiaries, significantly expanding its footprint into the payment sector. In 2024, it completed the attainment of the controlling stake in Ant Bank (Macau) Limited, further solidifying its “payment + finance” platform foundation. Currently, AGTech is actively broadening its innovative financial business. In early 2026, the company reached a collaboration with the Hong Kong Gold Exchange (HKGX) to design, develop and maintain a secure and stable electronic trading, clearing, and settlement platform. This initiative aims to support Hong Kong's development as an international gold trading center and drive the digital transformation of the gold and precious metals market.

 

For the year ended March 31, 2026, AGTech recorded a total revenue of approximately HK$760 million, representing a year-on-year growth of about 23.7%, reflecting a continuous expansion in its operational scale. Notably, the full-scale banking services delivered outstanding performance, generating about HK$225 million in revenue during the year, a substantial year-on-year surge of approximately 232.7%. The rising proportion of high-growth businesses and the further optimization of the revenue structure demonstrate that the company's overall strategic transformation over the past few years has begun to materialize. Looking ahead, AGTech will continue to deepen the development of its fintech ecosystem, and capitalize on development opportunities within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and international markets to steadily advance its global business footprint.
