Back in December, China Mobile (941 HK) made a pre-conditional HK$5.23/share voluntary Offer for HKBN  (1310 HK). The wild card is whether I Squared launches a counter-proposal.
This transaction has no shortage of intriguing developments. Last month, MBK mysteriously converted its VLNs. Now TPG has entered into an SPA with Mobile to sell its 15.46% stake.

IF I Squared were to make a counter-proposal, I doubt it would secure the necessary regulatory approvals. Evidently TPG is not waiting around to find out.
