CPMC Holdings (906 HK): Pre-Conditional Voluntary Offer at HK$6.87
- CPMC Holdings (906 HK) has announced a pre-conditional voluntary offer from Changping Industrial at HK$6.87 per share, a 32.1% premium to the undisturbed price (16 August).
- The pre-condition mainly relates to Chinese approvals. The offer is conditional on the offeror and concert parties representing more than 50% of voting rights.
- The 50% minimum acceptance condition should be met due to COFCO’s irrevocable and the second-largest shareholders’ past dealings with COFCO. At the last close, the gross spread was 6.0%.
Boss Energy Placement – Heavy Dilution and Doesn’t Appear Well Flagged
- Boss Energy (BOE AU) is looking to raise up to A$205m (US$135m) through its primary placement. The proceeds will be used to fund an acquisition and replenish working capital.
- The deal will be a large one to digest, at 19.7 days of three month ADV and 14% dilution.
- In this note, we will talk about the placement and run the deal through our ECM framework.
TPL: The Land of Speculative Worry
- TPL has gone through a series of changes within its Board of Directors but that has not been enough to squash investor concerns
- The Delaware Court deciding in favor of TPL in a shareholder lawsuit would allow the Board to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock
- TPL’s Board now has ten members instead of nine last year. The Board has also seen three members turnover giving the Board a total of four fresh members
CPMC (906 HK): SASAC Takeover
