Since its inauguration, Nexstgo has been committed to investing in research and development (R&D) and product designs, as well as manufacturing and servicing capabilities, aiming to bring the technology start-up to international status.

"Nexstgo’s vision is to develop products that brings technology breakthroughs to users and shapes the future abiding to our motto ‘Do What the Giants Can’t,’ explained Alex Chung, Nexstgo CEO and co-founder. "Over the last four years, we have been responsible for bringing a number of innovations to power people in their work and lives, with exponential company growth as a result. Moving forward, we will continue to evolve this customer-centric approach in designing products and customised services that meet customers’ expectations."

Nexstgo’s new strategies focus on three key areas: creating products to support increasingly virtual working and lifestyle environments; leveraging e-Commerce trends to support customer interactions, and developing smart devices to enrich people’s everyday lives, especially in the healthcare area.

Success in product and customer segmentation

Nexstgo conducts comprehensive studies to understand customer behaviours and preferences when it comes to design and the development of products.

Nexstgo believes that a laptop is not only a tool but also representative of one’s identity and fashion style. With this belief, Nexstgo continues to roll out new generations of AVITA laptops in a variety of colours, patterns and design elements, that are light and thin and powered by state-of-the-art technologies. Targeting millennials and the younger consumer segment that are looking for their next tech statement through bold colours, it enabled Nexstgo to develop first-of-its-kind "Technology + Fashion" approach for its AVITA laptop products. Nexstgo also received accolades such as 2020 CES Innovation Awards and 2019 Computex Best Choice Award, marking its international presences and recognition.

The company created a win-win alliance with VAIO, in which the two companies share the same vision in producing top quality products for business executives. Building on Nexstgo’s solid design and technology foundation and VAIO’s powerful brand positioning, the two companies developed a new series of stylish and powerful laptops for the lucrative high-end market amongst professionals and demanding users in Asia.

In aligning the Nexstgo brand with AVITA and VAIO, the company created a holistic and integrated multi-brand strategy that has driven Nexstgo’s fast-track growth.

Next milestone for Nexstgo

As the company looks to the future, Nexstgo has announced three new strategies to mark its next business milestone.

Nexstgo will continue to focus on technologies and products that enable people to work and live better in a more connected virtual world. In the aftermath of the pandemic, Nexstgo advocates to develop technologies transforming the user experience in learning, working, entertainment and social interactions. New high-quality audio-visual features, more intuitive product designs and user interfaces, superior processing power and connectivity are all critical elements to fulfil ever more demanding user expectations.

JinkoSolar Announces Strategic Plan of its Subsidiary to Access China’s Capital Markets

Leave a comment

SHANGRAO, China, Sept. 21, 2020 — JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. ("JinkoSolar") (NYSE: JKS), one of the largest and most innovative solar module manufacturers in the world, today announced that its board of directors has approved a strategic plan to access China’s capital markets through its principal operating subsidiary Jinko Solar Co., Ltd. ("Jiangxi Jinko").

JinkoSolar is considering the opportunity to list Jiangxi Jinko, after certain intragroup restructuring, on the Shanghai Stock Exchange’s Sci-Tech innovation board (the "STAR Market"), an exchange intended to support innovative companies in China, within the next three years.  

To qualify Jiangxi Jinko for a STAR Market listing and to raise additional capital to support its continuous expansion, the board has also approved an equity financing of Jiangxi Jinko, under which certain China-based reputable third-party investors, JinkoSolar’s founders, Xiande Li, Kangping Chen and Xianhua Li, and senior management personnel have agreed to invest an aggregate of RMB 3.1 billion (approximately US$ 458 million) into Jiangxi Jinko for an aggregate of 26.7% equity interest in Jiangxi Jinko. The transaction has been negotiated at arm’s length at a pre-money valuation of Jiangxi Jinko’s equity value of RMB 8.5 billion (approximately US$1.26 billion), which is 15.6% higher than JinkoSolar’s market capitalization on September 18, 2020, and 45.4% higher than JinkoSolar’s average market capitalization for the 90 days preceding September 18, 2020. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to be completed by the end of October 2020.

Mr. Kangping Chen, Chief Executive Officer of JinkoSolar, commented, "Listing Jiangxi Jinko on the STAR Market will enable it to access a new source of growth capital, which we believe will ultimately strengthen our leading position in the solar module industry and support our continuous growth over the long run. We believe the listings of JinkoSolar on the New York Stock Exchange and Jiangxi Jinko on the STAR Market will raise our profile with investors both in China and globally and provide us with additional opportunities to grow in the future."

Whether Jiangxi Jinko is able to be successfully listed on the STAR Market, the timing of the listing, and its valuation upon listing will depend on various factors, including but not limited to capital market conditions in China and globally, the regulatory environment for listed securities, Jiangxi Jinko’s business and financial performance and its fulfillment of the listing requirements in China.
