CR Gas is offering HK$2.50/share, a 2.88% premium to last close - or given the pre-announcement pop, a 23.15% premium to the average closing price for the 10 days to the last day of trading. Suchuang shareholders are afforded the option of exchanging their shares on a one-for-one basis into Holdco.
No dividends are expected to be paid during the Offer period. 
Irrevocables totaling 74.75% have been received from the Controlling Shareholders inter alia. This is somewhat misleading as some of these shares are held by Fung Yu (23.76%) and Total Honest (13.64%) - vehicles ultimately controlled by ex-EDs Su Aping and his wife Zhu Yaying - are in concert with the Offeror, and are therefore required to abstain from voting at the Scheme Meeting. 
Disinterested Shareholders total 62.6% of shares out.


The headcount test applies as Suchuang is Cayman incorporated.
Regulatory approvals include SASAC.


This looks done.


More below the fold.
