Perseus Mining (PRU AU)’s competing all-cash takeover offer for Orecorp Ltd (ORR AU) is A$0.55, a 4.0% premium to the implied value of the Silvercorp Metals (SVM CN) off-market takeover offer. 
The Board opines that the PRU offer is not superior. Since announcing the revised SVM scheme on 23 November, the PRU offer has averaged 3.0% lower than the SVM offer.
The SVM offer, which closes on 23 February, has struggled to gain traction. PRU has the balance sheet to sweeten its offer and gain shareholder traction.

In OreCorp: Silvercorp Switches To Off-Market Bid, after Silvercorp Metals (SVM CN) switched to an off-market Offer for Orecorp Ltd (ORR AU), I expected Perseus Mining (PRU AU) to counter. 
Orecorp announced this morning Perseus (with 19.9% of shares out) has pitched an all-cash Offer of A$0.55/share, primarily conditional on getting to 50.1%
Orecorp has responded by saying Perseus Offer is not superior to Silvercorp cash/scrip terms. Perhaps it's Orecorp's way of (temporarily) skirting the break fee and letting the market decide.

Dai Ichi Life (8750 JP) has the wherewithal, and probably the synergies to make a bump for Benefit One (2412 JP) work. M3 is clearly not in the driver's seat.

China United Network (600050 CH) is, for all intent and purpose, a pseudo-A to China Unicom (762 HK). Go long Unicom, short United due to Unicom's significantly cheaper valuation.

Zhejiang Expressway (576 HK) has had a stonking run since its rights issue. Look to unwind this set-up and take the other side: short Expressway, long Zheshang Securities (601878 CH).
