10th August 2016 - Dairy Farm International Holdings Limited today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Dairy Farm Company, Limited, has completed the acquisition of a further 286,934,440 shares in Yonghui Superstores Co., Ltd ('Yonghui') for a consideration of approximately US$190 million.

The acquisition, which is alongside an acquisition by JD.com of a 10% interest and by Mr. Zhang Xuansong, the Chairman of Yonghui, of a 2% interest, maintains Dairy Farm's shareholding in Yonghui at 19.99%.

The acquisition was first announced on 7th August 2015, and had been subject to the receipt of the necessary regulatory approvals.  The number of shares subscribed by Dairy Farm was adjusted from the amount originally announced to take account of a bonus issue of shares made by Yonghui in June 2016.
