Utter carnage in arb-world this week, as Frasers Hospitality Trust (FHT SP) fails, Link Administration (LNK AU) and Ramsay Health (RHC AU) are potentially next, and now Giordano (709 HK).
46.04%. That's the only number that matters, which represents the total shares owned by the Cheng family plus shares tendered. 
The Chengs are restricted from launching another Offer for 12 months. Giordano will be sold off today, however, this is a buy if it retraces to around the undisturbed levels.


Arb Carnage As Giordano's Offer Also Fails

<li>The offeror and acceptances reached 46.04%, just short of the 50% minimum acceptance condition. The offeror has decided to let the <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/giordano-international-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:13899:1" rel="noopener">Giordano International (709 HK)</a> offer lapse.</li>
<li>The offer fell short of the 50% threshold as the Cheng family mistakenly assumed that shareholders behind Halycon's stake were friendly shares, which would support the offer.</li>
<li>The downside will be muted as the shares are trading in line with the 1-year average forward P/E, minorities thought the offer was low, and David Webb is a buyer.</li>
