Get Nice Financial (1469 HK): Attractive Spread Ahead of Get Nice Holdings (64 HK)’s EGM Vote
- The Get Nice Financial Group Ltd (1469 HK)/GNF offer is conditional on the approval by GNH/GNF shareholders. Get Nice Holdings (64 HK)/GNH’s shareholder vote is on 22 January.
- The GNH vote will comfortably pass as Mr Hung, the controlling shareholder, represents 66.11% of outstanding shares, just shy of the 66.67% required voting threshold.
- The implied offer value has declined by 10%, broadly in line with the median decline in peer share prices. Therefore, the scheme vote remains low-risk.
