<li>Almost a year in, Changhong Group has yet to secure the regulatory approvals for its HK$1.223 scheme offer for <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/changhong-jiahua-holdings-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:5849:1" rel="noopener">Changhong Jiahua (3991 HK)</a>.</li>
<li>The offer will be effectively blocked, not by a Sichuan NDRC/Commerce rejection with stated reasons, but by the approval process failing to conclude by the 20 September long stop date.</li>

Almost a year in, Changhong Group has yet to secure the regulatory approvals for its HK$1.223 scheme offer for Changhong Jiahua (3991 HK).
The offer will be effectively blocked, not by a Sichuan NDRC/Commerce rejection with stated reasons, but by the approval process failing to conclude by the 20 September long stop date.
On a deal break, I expect little-to-no downside due to improving fundamentals, significant peer re-rating and significant discount to the undisturbed price. 


Changhong Jiahua (3991 HK): The Upcoming Long Stop Date Sets the Pretext for a Deal Break

<ul>
<li>More than a year in, the <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/enn-natural-gas-co-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:16456:1" rel="noopener">ENN Natural Gas (600803 CH)</a> offer for <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/enn-energy-holdings-limited" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:316:1" rel="noopener">ENN Energy (2688 HK)</a> lapses as the long stop date (12 June) was not extended.</li>
<li>The offer was effectively blocked, not by an explicit CSRC rejection with stated reasons, but by the approval process failing to conclude within a viable timeframe.</li>
<li>The CSRC's non-approval is unprecedented, as the transaction has received NDRC, MoC, and SAFE approvals. My estimated deal-break price is HK$49.00 (broadly in line with the last close).</li>

More than a year in, the ENN Natural Gas (600803 CH) offer for ENN Energy (2688 HK) lapses as the long stop date (12 June) was not extended.
The offer was effectively blocked, not by an explicit CSRC rejection with stated reasons, but by the approval process failing to conclude within a viable timeframe.
The CSRC's non-approval is unprecedented, as the transaction has received NDRC, MoC, and SAFE approvals. My estimated deal-break price is HK$49.00 (broadly in line with the last close).


ENN Energy (2688 HK): Precedent Set as the Offer Is Effectively Blocked by Regulators

<li>Three for three. Three low-balled Hong Kong Offers, by way of Schemes, have now lapsed over the past ten weeks. </li>

Now Dickson Concepts Intl (113 HK) has followed suit. But the vote was (much) closer than it should have been.
