A company official told Reuters last month that the company planned to inject assets into the listed unit.

Shanghai-listed Jiugang Hongxing's shares were suspended from trading early last month pending a restructuring of assets. The company had said the shares shares would remain suspended until as late as March 9th.

The Jiugang Hongxing shares will be placed at CNY 5.79 each. Its shares had closed at CNY 6.85 on February 5th their last day of trade, after surging 20% over three sessions.
