<p>Back on the 9 July, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/beijing-capital-land-ltd-h" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:4543:1" rel="noopener">Beijing Capital Land Ltd H (2868 HK)</a> (BCL) <a href="https://www1.hkexnews.hk/listedco/listconews/sehk/2021/0709/2021070901284.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> a pre-conditional Offer from its controlling shareholder, state-owned Beijing Capital Group, otherwise known as the Capital Group. The Offer price of HK$2.80/share was a 62.79% premium to last close, and a 150% premium to the average closing price over the previous 60 trading days. The Offer price would NOT be increased. No dividends are expected to be declared. A concurrent Offer for BCL's domestic shares at RMB2.334080/share was also tabled.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>The pre-conditions, which cannot be waived, included approvals from NDRC, MoC, SAFE, and if applicable, SASAC.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>As BCL is PRC incorporated and compulsory acquisition is not afforded under PRC law,  this delisting proposal is by way of a Merger by Absorption, which involves a Scheme-like vote from disinterested shareholders.</p>
<p>Unlike a number of PRC-incorporated privatisations, there is no tendering acceptance condition attached to this delisting.</p>
<p>Typically Merger by Absorption transactions complete in around four months.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>This <em>appeared</em> a relatively clean deal although from the onset, it traded wide to terms, at an average gross spread to terms of ~13%, up to and including yesterday.</p>
<p>The dispatch of the Composite Doc was, as expected, <a href="https://www1.hkexnews.hk/listedco/listconews/sehk/2021/0729/2021072901655.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">delayed</a> to the 9 September (officially granted by the SFC on the  2 August) from the 29 July. </p>
<p>A profit warning was announced on the <a href="https://www1.hkexnews.hk/search/titlesearch.xhtml?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">30 July</a>. </p>
<p>Last night, BCL said the Pre-Condition has been <a href="https://www1.hkexnews.hk/listedco/listconews/sehk/2021/0818/2021081801497.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">satisfied</a>. There was no further application to the SFC to extend the dispatch of the Composite Doc.</p>
<p>This is a positive development. Expect the spread to tighten when shares begin trading this morning. </p>
