Late night Xingda (1899 HK) announced a partial Offer from a consortium comprising management  - known as the Five parties - at HK$1.88/share - a 24.5% premium to last close. 
The consortium - widely known as the Five Parties - currently holds 45.6%, and the intention of the Offer is to hold 50.01%, or a controlling stake.
There is a minimum/maximum number shares to be acquired under the Offer. I'd expect the minimum acceptance condition to be met.

Xingda (1899 HK)’s Partial Offer from Management to Seize Statutory Control

<a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/xingda-international-holdings" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:17836:1" rel="noopener">Xingda International (1899 HK)</a> entered a trading halt pending the release of an announcement under the Hong Kong Code on Takeovers and Mergers. </li>
<li>It is likely that the management, representing 45.60% of ordinary shares (through a five parties agreement), is seeking to privatise Xingda.</li>
<li>The bid is likely privatisation through a scheme. Due to FIL’s blocking stake, a decent premium is required, such as an offer approaching HK$2.00 (33% premium to the last close).  </li>

Xingda International (1899 HK)’s to Draw a Privatisation Bid from Management?

<li>The controlling shareholders - more commonly known as the Five Parties - hold 45.6% of shares out. </li>
<li>Two years ago, Xingda sought to spin-off its key operating vehicle. Perhaps the Five Parties are privatising Xingda, then IPOing Xingda Steel Tyre Cord. Or, cashing out their positions.</li>
