HONG KONG, Aug. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Masonglory Limited (the “Company”) (Nasdaq: MSGY), a subcontractor providing wet trades services and other ancillary services in Hong Kong, today announced that on August 12, 2026, the Company entered into a share swap agreement (the “Share Swap Agreement”) with the holder of a 49% equity interest in Beta Beteiligungs und Besitz GmbH, a private limited liability company organized under the laws of the Republic of Austria (the “Target”), and the beneficial owner of such holder, pursuant to which such holder agreed to transfer 20% of the equity interests in the Target to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and, as consideration therefor, the Company agreed to allot and issue to such beneficial owner an aggregate of 1,377,000 Class A ordinary shares of the Company, par value US$0.0008 each (the “Consideration Shares”). The number of Consideration Shares was determined by reference to a valuation of 100% of the equity interests in the Target of US$23,400,000 performed by an independent third-party valuation firm, and a price per Class A ordinary share of US$3.40, which was determined by reference to the closing bid price of the Class A ordinary shares of the Company of US$3.43 on August 11, 2026. The Target is engaged in the trading and distribution of construction materials, principally bathtubs, hot tubs and swim spas, in Continental Europe, which is complementary to the Company’s existing wet trades and construction materials services business, and the transaction represents a horizontal, synergistic expansion of the Company’s geographic footprint and construction materials product portfolio into Continental Europe.

The Consideration Shares will be issued in an offshore transaction without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on applicable exemptions from registration, and will constitute “restricted securities”.

Such beneficial owner is not affiliated with the Company or any of its directors or officers. Immediately following the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Share Swap Agreement, such beneficial owner will hold less than five percent (5%) of the aggregate voting power of the Company.

Sa Sa International Holdings Ltd. is ramping up store openings and restoring a full dividend payout after a sharp rebound in profit, underscoring management’s confidence in the recovery of Hong Kong and Macau’s beauty retail market. The cosmetics chain’s full-year sales rose 14.2% to HK$4.383 billion, while profit increased 1.6 times from a year earlier, allowing the group to boost its final dividend and return its payout ratio to 100%. Chairman and chief executive Simon Kwok said the stronger distribution reflects a “very strong” outlook, pointing to broad-based improvement in store traffic and spending.

Kwok said all key operating indicators in Hong Kong and Macau — including revenue, same-store sales, transaction volume, average ticket size and units per transaction — recorded year-on-year gains in the last financial year. Momentum has continued into the new year: in the first quarter of the current financial year, total revenue grew 24%, with offline sales up 30.9%. Hong Kong and Macau led with a 32.5% jump in offline sales, while Southeast Asia rose 17%. Online revenue slipped 3.2% overall, weighed by an 18.1% decline in mainland China, even as Hong Kong, Macau and Southeast Asia posted online growth.

On the back of the recovery, Sa Sa is reviving its brick‑and‑mortar expansion, particularly in tourist districts that were heavily rationalised during the downturn. The company plans to open 10 new stores in the current financial year; it has already added outlets in Mong Kok and Tsim Sha Tsui, including a large upstairs shop of about 6,000 to 7,000 square feet at the Mong Kok Man Wah Centre, on top of an existing ground‑floor unit. A store at the Airside mall in Kai Tak is slated to open in August, and another at Lok Ma Chau is planned to capture cross‑border traffic. Kwok said tourist‑area stores are now about half the number they once were, leaving “substantial room” to rebuild the network, though he stressed the group will not neglect local customers.

Store format will be a key part of the strategy. Kwok said he and his wife favour large outlets and that she has advocated opening flagship stores to serve both mainland and local shoppers in a more spacious, comfortable environment. Still, decisions between large and small formats will depend on rents and operating costs; smaller shops require less staff and investment. He said that while the opening of new outlets may “slightly” dilute same‑store sales metrics, the impact should be limited as long as locations and rental terms are carefully chosen. Footfall remains the main focus: “Only when there are people will there be revenue,” he said, adding that broader product assortment and competitive pricing should help underpin demand even as more drugstore and beauty chains enter the market.

Sa Sa also aims to stabilise and eventually grow its Southeast Asian operations, where the group ended the last financial year with 75 stores — 70 in Malaysia and five in Singapore. The region’s near‑term target is to achieve break‑even. Three of the five Singapore stores are already profitable, and Kwok said the company would consider opening more outlets there if suitable opportunities arise, noting that Singaporean sales growth was particularly strong in the second half of the year. The Malaysian business is described as stable, with management planning tighter cost control. Kwok played down concerns about competition from other travel destinations and cross‑border consumption trends, saying that Hong Kong remains convenient for many mainland visitors, some of whom come once or twice a month, and that the company’s breadth of products and pricing remain competitive.
