In today’s briefing:
- Last Week in Event SPACE: Shin Kong/Taishin, ASMPT, Korea Zinc/Young Poong Precision, Sigma Health
Last Week in Event SPACE: Shin Kong/Taishin, ASMPT, Korea Zinc/Young Poong Precision, Sigma Health
- Taishin‘s bid clearly has governance/related party issues and a significant portion of the “non-Taishin” reps on the Shin Kong Board had issues. October 9th passage is not a done deal.
- KKR’s “bid” for ASMPT (522 HK) has all the hallmarks of the “approach” by PAG last year. Which came to nought. From a regulatory standpoint, it’s unlikely to get up.
- Never a dull moment for Korea Zinc (010130 KS). The Choi family makes Offers for KZ and Young Poong Precision (036560 KS) (YPP). Then MBK counters for both.
