Chinese Estates Holdings (127 HK) has despatched the scheme document. The offeror will offer HK$4.00 per scheme share. The scheme meeting is scheduled for 9:30 am on 17 December.
Unsurprisingly, the IFA considers the offer to be fair and reasonable. We think that the IFA analysis of historical share prices and privatisation precedents is flawed. 
As no shareholder holds a blocking stake, the bid will likely succeed. At last close, the shares trade at a gross spread of 6.4% to the offer price.
