The rejection of Yankuang Energy (1171 HK)'s proposal by Yancoal Australia (3668 HK) independent board was always on the cards.

Back in Yankuang's court. Revise terms? Walk away? To note, Yancoal has not, to date, received any formal offer or proposal from Yankuang.

Glencore Plc (GLEN LN) is likely to reject Yanzhou Coal Mining Company Limited H (1171 HK)’s H-Share CBs of US$3.60 (HK$28.26/A$5.07) per Yancoal Australia (YAL AU) share, according to Reuters.
If the privatisation succeeds, we estimate that Yankuang’s additional claim on Yancoal Australia (3668 HK)’s three-year FCF would broadly cover the total potential consideration of US$1,794 million.
The fixed coupon on the CBs would likely need to match the foregone dividend yield. We think it challenging for Yankuang to bridge the gap to Glencore’s “right price”.
