AAG Energy (2686 HK): Xinjiang Xintai’s Light but Final HK$1.85 Offer

By Arun George

  • Aag Energy Holdings (2686 HK) disclosed a pre-conditional privatisation offer from Xinjiang Xintai Natural Gas (603393 CH) at HK$1.85 per share, a 10.1% premium to the undisturbed price.
  • The pre-condition is Xinjiang Xintai shareholder approval. Key condition is approval by at least 75% of disinterested shareholders (<10% of all disinterested shareholders rejection). The price is final but light.
  • The total privatisation cost is HK$2,704 million vs AAG’s net cash of HK$2,270 million. The offeror is betting that minorities will not be able to launch a concerted NO vote.

AAG Energy (2686 HK): Xinjiang Xintai ‘s Underwhelming Scheme Offer

By David Blennerhassett

  • On the 14 May 2018, coalbed methane producer AAG Energy Holdings (2686 HK) announced a partial offer (50.5%) from Xinjiang Xintai Natural Gas (603393 CH) at HK$1.75/share. 
  • Xinjiang Xintai has returned to the pit with a $1.85/share Offer by way of a Scheme. The Cancellation Price will NOT be increased.
  • This is hardly a knockout price, at a 10.1% premium to undisturbed; and just a 2.2% premium over the highest closing price of HK$1.81/share in the past year.
