GAPack (468 HK): XJF Satisfies Pre-Cons. Management Should Back Terms

By David Blennerhassett

  • During the lunch break, Greatview Aseptic Packaging (468 HK)  announced that Shandong Xinjufeng Technology Packaging (301296 CH) (XJF) had satisfied all pre-conditions – the final approvals concerned outbound direct investments.
  • The Offer Document, including the IFA opinion, is expected to be dispatched  in seven days – or 27th December, at which time, the Offer will be open to acceptances.
  • Evidently the Jeff Bi/Gong Hong MGO isn’t materialising any time soon. Provided the IFA is supportive – and that should now be known – management should unanimously back XJF’s Offer.

  • The First Huarui Offer Closing Date is Jan.10 2025. The latest time/date by which the Huarui Offer can become or be declared unconditional as to acceptances is 18 February 2025.
  • China Foods once chose to side with Baosteel – They are both SOEs.Although regulatory agencies have given the green light, it’s still unclear if China Foods will accept Huarui Offer.
  • The “key variable” is Zhang Wei’s attitude. Investors can choose bet on it.It would be wise for arbitrageurs to wait until Zhang Wei makes his move before making a decision.

Monetization Upgrade Kickstarts Kuaishou’s Microdrama Business

By Stan Zhao

  • On December 16th, Kuaishou launched a subscription service for its micro drama channel, we believe it marks a key step towards improving monetization;
  • The penetration rate of heavy micro drama users on the platform has steadily increased, and leveraging their loyalty and monetization efficiency may improve with the subscription model.
  • The new model could better help mitigate the macroeconomic risks posed by advertising and the content quality risks of its long-tail partners.
