NWS (659 HK): Pre-Cons Done. Now, About That Final Divvie …
- Back on the 26 June, Chow Tai Fook (CTFE) made a pre-conditional voluntary Offer for New World (17 HK)‘s 60.88%-held NWS (659 HK) at HK$9.15/share, a 22.2% premium to undisturbed.
- The Cheng-family-backed CTFE and connected parties held 45.24% of NWD, therefore the parent was effectively injecting ~US$2.75bn of cash into NWD for its NWS stake.
- The pre-cons are now done, with a 13 October despatch date for the Composite Document. Technically, this could be wrapped up before NWS’ final dividend ex-date. That’s worth exploring further.
