Beijing Jingneng Clean Energy / Event-Driven

<p>Subsequent to a low-turnout at the H-share class meeting last Friday (the 19th February), <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/beijing-jingneng-clean-energy-co-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:16316:1" rel="noopener">Beijing Jingneng Clean Energy (579 HK)</a>'s shares declined 6.7% on Monday, followed by 6.3% yesterday, and 3.1% today. All on above-average volume. </p>
<p>Jingneng is now trading at a 25% gross spread to the voluntary conditional offer price of HK$2.70/share. Quite remarkable given deal completion is binary, and there is little in the way of clarity to indicate deal failure is more certain.</p>
<p>Jingneng's undisturbed price back in early July 2020 when a possible Offer was first <a href="https://www1.hkexnews.hk/listedco/listconews/sehk/2020/0706/2020070602025.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">floated</a>, was HK$1.58. However, the power mix that Jingneng supplies has sector-by-sector average gains - some considerable - since the deal.</p>
<p>Jingneng has overshot to the downside, and is a buy outright or against a basket of peers.</p>
