This paper aims to investigate the private placement of equity (PPE) by asset injection in China. It analyzes the influence to shareholders’ wealth and performance in the state-holding listed companies and private-holding listed companies. The key findings of this paper are the shareholders’ wealth and performance increased in the short-term, but decreased in long-term after announcement of asset injection by major shareholders. After asset injection, the state-holding listed companies experience larger decline in the long-term shareholders wealth and performance than private-holding listed companies.
