CPMC (906 HK): Not A Shadow Of Doubt (!) As Pre-Cons Fulfilled

By David Blennerhassett

  • My conversation with the FA earlier this week largely put to rest a number of concerns, specifically on regulatory approvals, surrounding the Offer for CPMC Holdings (906 HK)
  • As announced on the 13th December, the last pre-condition, SAFE, has been satisfied. All pre-cons have been fulfilled.  The Offer Doc will be dispatched on or before the 20th December
  • This could turn unconditional before year-end, depending on whether Zhang Wei promptly tenders. Expect the share price to trade tight (er) to terms Monday morning.

China Healthcare Weekly (Dec.15) – 10th VBP Results, WuXi Shares Surge, Newjf Will Be Successful

By Xinyao (Criss) Wang

  • The 10th national VBP released results. The average price reduction was about 70%. CSPC, Kelun, Fosun Pharma, Sino Biopharmaceutical are the “main force” and their performance would be affected.
  • WuXi Shares surge due to the absence of BIOSECURE Act from the proposed amendments to US NDAA. However, the rally could be short-term as the Bill may return next year.
  • Pre-Conditions of Newjf have been smooth so far. We think investors can directly consider Newjf’s Offer. Based on the current situation, we are optimistic that Newjf will finally be successful.
