<li>$4.60/Share. That's the number - by way of a Scheme - that only matters. Below the recently rumoured $6/share, and $5.10/share a little over three years ago. Terms are final.</li>
<li>As widely expected, the Offeror is SASAC-managed China National Pharmaceutical Group Corporation (CNPGC), indirectly owning 32.46% in <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/china-traditional-chinese-medicine" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:351:1" rel="noopener">China Traditional Chinese Medicine (570 HK)</a> (TCM) via Sinopharm Group Hongkong,</li>
<li>Optically, the Offer price appears light. But this should still get up. TCM is trading rich to peers. No other competing bidder will emerge. Expect regulatory pre-cons to be fast-tracked.</li>
