The Offer Consideration is HK$0.63/share, a 1.6% premium to last close, and a 39.4% premium to the 90-day average close. The Offer price is final.
The Offer has a low 50% acceptance condition. All other conditions can be waived. Feihe currently holds no shares in YST. No irrevocable commitments have been tabled.
The Composite Document is expected to be dispatched by the 27 September, at which time the Offer will open to acceptances. 
Despite the headline Offer premium to last close, the YST shares are up 110% YTD, one of the best performers in its peer group which has an average of 16% YTD.
As always, more below the fold.
