Suntec REIT (SUN SP): Tang’s Obligatory Offer. But … Is ESR A Seller?

By David Blennerhassett

  • Gordan Tang (& his wife Celine) acquired 2.14% in Suntec REIT (SUN SP), lifting their stake to 31.45% from 29.31%, triggering a MGO.
  • The Offer Price is $1.16/share against a recent close of $1.17. The Offer will be conditional on a 50% acceptance hurdle. That’s it. This is purely a technical Offer. 
  • Share popped 7% on the news, and closed up ~5%. This appears unwarranted. Tang is not going to take Suntec private. But ESR Group (1821 HK) may be exiting.
