I tally 40 - mostly firm, mostly Asia-Pac - transactions currently being discussed and analysed on Smartkarma. Inside is a timetable of upcoming key events for each deal.
Two new deals were discussed this week: Offers for Virgin Money UK Plc (VUK AU) and PSC Insurance (PSI AU).
Key updates took place on Rex Minerals (RXM AU), Namoi Cotton (NAM AU), CPMC (906 HK), China TCM (570 HK), Seven &amp; I (3382 JP), and Fuji Soft (9749 JP) . 


(Mostly) Asia-Pac M&A: Seven & I, Virgin Money, PSC Insurance, Rex Minerals, Namoi, CPMC, China TCM

<li>At the first close , SASAC/NCSSF-backed Champion Holdings <a href="https://www1.hkexnews.hk/listedco/listconews/sehk/2024/0903/2024090302069.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">failed to secure the 50% acceptance condition</a>. No surprises there. What was a surprise was Champion Holdings letting the Offer <a href="https://www1.hkexnews.hk/listedco/listconews/sehk/2024/0903/2024090302069.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lapse</a>. </li>
<li>Champion Holdings could have extended the Offer to the 30th Sept, which would have achieved little. But they could have bumped terms. They did neither.</li>
<li>That leaves <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/org-technology-co-ltd-a" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:17510:1" rel="noopener">ORG Technology Co., Ltd. A (002701 CH)</a> as the sole bidder for <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/cpmc-holdings-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:10427:1" rel="noopener">CPMC Holdings (906 HK)</a> . And arguably, an unwilling bidder at that. </li>

That leaves ORG Technology Co., Ltd. A (002701 CH) as the sole bidder for CPMC Holdings (906 HK) . And arguably, an unwilling bidder at that.

<li>Huarui Offer has been approved by SAMR, which marks a solid step forward.Meanwhile, ORG’s management stated that the reduction of Huangshan Novel shares is to raise funds to acquire CPMC.</li>
<li>While Baosteel may want to “test the waters”, the signals ORG is sending is it will make every effort to advance the acquisition of CPMC and is accelerating the process. </li>
<li>The return on Huarui Offer isn't attractive.We recommend waiting for Baosteel to raise its Offer, or simply choosing to add more positions in China TCM, whose privatization is more lucrative.</li>
