The above does not include the US$0.2bn SPA for amaysim Australia (AYS AU) discussed in Amaysim To Be Wound-Up After Mobile Sale.

Technically, China Biologic Products (CBPO US) was first mentioned on Smartkarma 14 months ago - but now we have a firm offer.


The average premium for the new deals announced (or first discussed) in November was ~29% and the YTD average premium for all deals discussed on Smartkarma (139 all-in) is ~31.5%.  The average for all deals discussed on Smartkarma in 2019 (145 deals all-in) was 31.5%.



The charts below provide a snapshot of deals YTD discussed on Smartkarma. Where the deal is a merger of equals or similar, I've assigned no premium.

Huadian Fuxin (816 HK): Doc Out. Done Deal

Wind-power play China Longyuan Power Group Corp (916 HK) (CLPG) gained 13% on the 30 July, on ~7x the normal volume (three-month average), plus another 6.3% the following day on even higher volume. With a further 7.2% added today, how much more can this run if indeed CLPG is rumoured to be next clean-energy privatization play?
Hong Kong-listed, clean-energy companies subject to a privatisation or change of control, have been all the rage since the Offer for China Power New Energy Development Co (735 HK) was first floated in March 2019.

The cooperation agreement for Gcl New Energy Holdings (451 HK) was terminated on the 19 November 2019.

Huadian Fuxin Energy Corp (816 HK) is ongoing. The SFC has granted an extension to dispatch the Composite Document to within "7 days of fulfilment of the Pre-Condition or 8 June 2021, whichever is the earlier." I've never seen a one-year delay. For an SOE no less. 
According to CGN's most recent monthly update, pursuant to the Takeovers Code, the bidder is still "working on the terms and conditions". 
There has been no price announced for CGN &amp; Beijing Jingneng Clean Energy (579 HK).

As a PRC-incorporated company, SOE-CHN Energy has two approaches in which to take 58.44%-held CLPG private. Or alternatively, convert its domestic shares in CLPG into A-shares. 

As always, more below the fold.
