The developer’s entire 57.16% stake in Hong Kong-listed Onewo Inc. is now pledged to Shenzhen Metro, after the latest agreement to offer a 1.33% stake as collateral, according to an exchange filing by the property manager late Friday. It’s part of a framework announced earlier this month that allows Shenzhen Metro to demand collateral or pledges from Vanke for its loan support.
