Air China cashes out $170 million Cathay Pacific stake as a Qatar buyback reshapes the shareholder map
Air China is selling 108.1 million shares in Cathay Pacific for HK$1.32 billion ($170 million), cutting its stake to just under 30% after a planned buyback. Swire Pacific’s holding will rise to about 47.65%. The sale price is HK$12.22 per share, with completion expected by Jan. 8. Filings show the deal depends on takeover-rule waivers and regulatory approvals.
