Three individuals now own roughly two-thirds of Wing Yip Food Holdings. Wang Tingfeng, Wong Sio Chan and Zhao Jin Hua paid a combined HKD 195 million for 23 million newly issued shares — placed directly with them at a fixed price, not sold in the open market.
The shares were issued on August 7, 2026 and listed on the Korea Exchange on September 7, according to a Form 6-K filed with the SEC on September 8. After the issuance, the company had about 35.6 million shares outstanding, with the placement shares making up roughly two-thirds of that total.
For existing shareholders, this is the central fact: every share held before August 7 now represents a smaller portion of the same company than it did. The three buyers paid KRW 1,600 per share, a price approved at a shareholder meeting on August 6.
Wang Tingfeng took the largest position — 13 million shares for about HKD 110 million. Wong Sio Chan and Zhao Jin Hua each received 5 million shares. The company says the proceeds will go toward procurement costs, marketing and research and development.
Shares closed 44.83% higher at $5.8800 on September 9, on dollar volume of about $112.8 million.
All 23 million placement shares are subject to a lock-up until September 6, 2027. For a year, roughly two-thirds of the company cannot be sold by the people who hold it.
