(9618 HK)</a>, to sell his 26.38% stake in CLPH at a price of $4.35/share.
Provided conditions to the S&amp;P are fulfilled, and with JD.com currently holding 10.64%, it would be obligated to make a Mandatory General Offer (MGO) - also at HK$4.35/share.
The key S&amp;P condition is approval from China's AML (Anti-Monopoly Law) Authority.
The key condition to the MGO becoming unconditional is JD.com holding 50% of the voting rights in CLPH. RRJ Capital, Joy Orient, and Dajia Baoxian have given irrevocables to tender in their 21.94%, 3.3%, and 4.14% respective stakes.
This all looks pretty clean.
The pushback is that when CLPH <a href="https://www1.hkexnews.hk/listedco/listconews/sehk/2020/1229/2020122901322.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> on the 29 December 2020 Li and RRJ Capital were "conducting a preliminary strategic review of their stakes", indicating a possible change of control for the company, the pre-announcement share price was HK$3.90. Therefore the Offer Price is an 11.5% premium to the undisturbed price. Many investors thought a $4.50+ handle was more in keeping with this space which has been garnering significant attention.
The Offer price will not be increased. 
Still, as one reader put it, they're just happy to get this slow-burning deal off their books.
More below the fold.
