The enhanced share offer, which is payable only if the delisting is approved, is HK$54.3000 per H-share (RMB45.5768 per domestic share). Unsurprisingly, the IFA considers the base and enhanced offer to be fair and reasonable.

Satisfaction of the minimum acceptance condition is the key hurdle. We note the privatisation proposals for Beijing Jingneng Clean Energy (579 HK) and Harbin Electric Co Ltd H (1133 HK) have previously failed due to the inability to meet the 90% minimum acceptance condition.  Country Garden Services has bought itself some leeway by having the right to extend the closing date from 17 June to not later than 3 September.
