Yankuang Energy Group Company (1171 HK) is considering an Offer for dual-listed coal-miner Yancoal Australia (YAL AU / 3668 HK) via the issuance of H-share convertible bonds.
The potential consideration of US$3.60 (~A$5.07/~HK$28.26) per Yancoal share, in the form of H-Share CBs, compares to the last close A$6.08 and HK$33.05. Perhaps an attractive yield will be dangled. 
Yankuang Energy has 62.26%. Cinda, Glencore, and China Shandong collectively hold 27.7%. You need all three to support the Offer terms, and then some, to force compulsory acquisition.
