Upon completion, the target company will remain an indirect subsidiary of HKT-SS, which is in turn an indirect subsidiary of PCCW.

With new residential development areas in Hong Kong planned, the increasing digital transformation of enterprises and ever closer integration within the Greater Bay Area, Passive Netco, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the target company, in partnership with HKT-SS and the investor, will seek to expand its passive infrastructure business to support new service offerings and reach new geographic areas.
