Technical and Quantitative Research

Vermilion Research

Vermilion’s objective is to deliver timely, actionable, and unique technical research to professional investors through the application of our various technical indicators.

Our research strategists seek to highlight securities which we believe are at major inflection points, based on our various technical and quantitative indicators, and offer asymmetric risk/return profiles. Our unique research methodology, centered on relative strength, enables our strategists to deliver superior investment recommendations.

Our process begins by organizing the universe of actively traded stocks into discrete sectors, then into industry groups. We then apply our technical and quantitative tools to identify developing price trends. Once attractive trends are identified within a selected sector or group, we screen for individual stocks which we believe offer the best risk/reward profile. We provide a historical perspective that often reveals, through our long-term charts, how price patterns often repeat themselves over time.

On the 8 July, O-Net Technologies (Group) (877 HK), a leader in the provision of high-technology products and optical networking components,  announced an Offer by way of a Scheme, with a cancellation price of HK$6.50/share, a 23.57% premium to last close and a 43.18% premium to the six-month average close. The Offer price was final.
Na Qinglin (chairman of O-Net) (34.5% of shares out), Shenzhen Kaifa Technology A (000021 CH) (20.52%) and HC Capital (0.33%) are acting in concert, leaving 44.65% (372.408mn shares) in the hands of Disinterested Shareholders.
Therefore the blocking stake at the Scheme Meeting is 37.24mn shares or 4.465% of shares out. The 10% blocking stake is attached to ALL of the Scheme Shares held by the Disinterested Shareholders. The headcount test applies as O-Net is Cayman incorporated. 


The Scheme Document is now out. The Scheme Meeting will be held on 25 September with expected payment (assuming shareholders approve the Scheme) on the 27 October, just under a week past my initial timetable expectation. The IFA (Somerley) considers the offer to be "fair and reasonable."


This is a pretty clean deal. I'd get involved at a gross/annualised spread at 2.7%/19.2%.
