<li>The connection between Newjf and Greatview is deep. Newjf expressed an interest in acquiring Greatview early on, but the two parties didn’t reach an agreement. Greatview is not entirely “innocent”.</li>
<li>Newjf's decision to forcibly acquire Greatview at this moment should be made after careful consideration. Mengniu may not necessarily oppose this merger. Mengniu is likely to take a neutral stance. </li>

Unsurprisingly, the Greatview Aseptic Packaging (468 HK) Board has recommended shareholders vote against the appointment of Shandong Xinjufeng Technology Packaging (301296 CH)’s two director nominees.
The EGM vote on 18 October is too close to call and depends on Shandong Xinjufeng and management's ability to rally disengaged minorities to their respective causes.   
Irrespective of the EGM vote results, Shandong Xinjufeng will be keen to launch its offer to ward off the threat of a possible competing offer from management.
